Beautiful Women


You can put them on the cover of a magazine
The finest women you'll ever see
It would be my fantasy to have them all surrounding me
All of them in love, it seems
Their wanting things that they can only get from me
The best thing about it all is I can have it if I only keep dreaming

From the shores of Milan to the streets of Miami
Beautiful women
From the beauty salons to the beaches in Maui
Beautiful women
From the coffee shop to the resturants, can you hear me
Every place, every town, if you just look around, you'll find

Black, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Dominican
Beautiful women
Indian, Cuban, Jamaican, all of the nations
Beautiful women
Eastcoast, Westcoast, city to the meadow
Burbs to the ghetto
Beautiful women
From Cairo, to Rio, to Montego

You know there is no way I could ever be without their sensualities
And everytime I think that I break free, it's like they always grab me
Everywhere I go, it's like a video
And you know exactly what I mean
If there could only be three more of me, then I could keep all these
Beautiful women

There they go doin' what they do to make a man go crazy
But it ain't fair cuz' they got us in a daze
What makes me so amazed is that they know it cuz' they're beautiful

Black, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Dominican
Beautiful women
Indian, Cuban, Jamaican, all of the nations
Beautiful women
Eastcoast, Westcoast, city to the meadow
Burbs to the ghetto
Beautiful women
From Cairo, to Rio, to Montego

Step On Up


Been working hard everyday
(Run from 9 to 5)
I need a place to get away
(Where I can feel alive)
Seems like my drama, it won't ever cease
(The haters stay awake)
Now it's time to find my inner peace
(I'm coming out to play)

This will be my night
I'm a get up on this floor
And lose what's left of my mind
Let the rhythm take control

Step on up, let your body go
Cuz I know you wanna do it so
When you hear the groove
You better know
That it's time to make your move
Just step on up now

This party's got me feeling right, yeah
(I found a place to unwind, oh yeah)
I'm diggin' on myself tonight
(Relax and ease your mind)
Ain't holdin' back, I'm gonna let it go
(And throw all my cares away, yeah yeah)
Now I'll be sure to let my feelings flow
(I'm coming out to play)

This will be my night, yeah
I'm a get up on this floor
And lose the best of my mind
Let the rhythm take control

Step on up, let your body go
Cuz I know you wanna do it so
When you hear the groove
You better know
That it's time to make your move
Just step on up now

Step on up, let your body go

Gotta get on before it's gone
Before it's too late
Make it happen all night long

Step on up, let your body go
Cuz I know you wanna do it so
When you hear the groove
You better know
That it's time to make your move
Just step on up now...

Good Guy


Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh ohh

I don't understand your thinking
I thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken
Gave you all my love and my attention
Say you don't want me
Cuz something is missing
Gave you all you wanted and you know it's true
All that I was doin' meant nothing to you
And if I told you why, we'd probably be cool
But I was good to you, so good

But you want a guy that's real nice
That'll spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won't act right
It doesn't pay to be the good guy

You callin' me late nights
Tellin' me how he won't act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why
It doesn't pay to be the good guy
'Cause every time I'll be right

I try to be the good guy
You take me for granted,throw me to the side
Rather have a man that'll tell you lies
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Why should I be the good guy
And get left for the man that don't treat you right
There's nothing good in being good guys
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

I don't understand your reason
Sayin' you love me, then sayin' your leavin'
The situation here has really changed me
Don't wanna fall in love cuz you play me (oh)
You gotta be kiddin' me (no)
You tryin' to get rid of me
I did more for you than any brother would do
I was good to you, so good to you

Plus you want a guy that's real nice
That'll spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won't act right
It doesn't pay to be the good guy

You callin' me late nights
Tellin' me how he won't act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why
It doesn't pay to be the good guy
'Cause every time I'll be right

I was good to you (I played the fool)
Played the fool for you
You messed it up for the next girl in my life
I'll never do the things I do for you
Our love just wasn't true
I was good to you, so good to you
So good to you
Every time I try...

Bounce, Shake, Move, Swing


Bounce
All, all I wanna do is see your body move
I know you want it too
So what you gotta do
Can you smell the bass
Taste a little snare
The look upon your faces shows me that you're going there
Steppin' at your best
Clubbin' all night long
The sweat rolls down your chest
As you dance to the song

You want it, you need it
You can have it
So come on, go ahead

Bounce, Shake, Move, Swing

Oh girl why you doin' that
While I'm behind your back
You're gonna make me flip
And then I don't know how I'm gonna act

Bounce, all night long
Shake, 'til the break of dawn
Move, move that thang
Swing, see you swang
Bounce, up and down
Shake, to the ground
Move, oh so close
Swing,don't you know

You want it, you need it

So come on, come on

Cause I see it when you bounce it baby

I Finally Know


I've been searchin'
For the girl of my dreams
The one who'd give all of her love to me
You've been there as a friend indeed
Someone that I could depend
Through thick and thin
My strength when I wanted to give in

You're special to me
Made it easy when I felt lonely
If I only knew then what I know now
My search would've ended long ago

I finally know who she is
The girl you've been trying to help me find
And all of this time she's been right here
She's only around me when you are near

And you spend your time with her everyday
So you know she's perfect in every way
I've been looking for love, and she's looking at me
If you look in the mirror, you'll see what I see

Now woman, I'm in a predicament
And I don't know how to explain
To a friend that's been a friend for so so long
Should I tell you how I feel or leave it alone?
Oh oh, it's amazing how?
I never knew that it was you
And after all this time, it never crossed my mind
That in a friend, a love I'd find

You're special to me
And I hope that we can be much more
My heart is in your hands
So why don't we give love

I finally know who she is
The girl you've been trying to help me find
And all of this time she's been right here
She's only around me when you are near

And you spend your time with her everyday
So you know she's perfect in every way
I've been looking for love, and she's looking at me
If you look in the mirror, you'll see what I see

I'm waiting on a love
A love that stands through anything (anything)
And everything (everything)
With all my heart, I (I'm giving you my heart)
And every part of me (every part of me)
Cuz I know you're my destiny (know you are my destiny)
You'll see finally (now I see finally)

I finally know who she is
The girl you've been trying to help me find
And all of this time she's been right here
She's only around me when you are near

I've been looking for love, and she's looking at me

And I'm so glad He told me so
I thank you Lord for showing me the one
And now my search is done

If you look in the mirror, you'll see what I see

Pass You By


She was like nothing I've ever known
Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field of snow
Man, that destiny led her to me
Made her feel that life was now complete
A thousand days have passed and nights gone by
You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Though she denise her pain and her dismay
I said this to her anyway

Don't have to stay with someone that makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun in you if you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

I know you're nervous but take it from me
'Cause you deserve so much more then you recieve
Listen to your heart and let it show
Don't hold onto your pain, just let it go

Don't have to stay with someone that makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun in you if you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

You can find the love you need
If you set your heart free
Don't have to stay (stay...) with someone (with no one...)
That makes you cry (that's gonna makes you cry...)
(ohhh no) Don't be (don't be) discouraged baby (baby)
(don't let) Don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone that makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun in you if you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Dreams


Here I am again, wondering if you're okay
Can't stop this troubled heart
'Cuz we're apart, miles away
Phone pressed up to my ear
Wish you were here, holding me
A face to go with your sweet voice
Will bring me joy, totally

I know I can't be there
Baby it's alright
I'll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you'll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

One thing that never changes
No matter what
I can't wait to see you
Can't wait to feel you
And there's a place of ours, where we can go
Nobody knows
I close my eyes real tight
And make love to you all night

I know I can't be there
Baby it's alright
I'll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you'll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

I wish I may, I wish you might
Find some time when you sleep tonight
To think of me and I'll appear before your eyes
It's my paradise, you're the one in my heart, my life, my girl
Oh, can't wait to go to sleep
'Cuz there's a possibility, you'll meet me

Ohh, oh oh oh oh
Ohh yeah, oh yeah
I know...

I know I can't be there
Baby it's alright
I'll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you'll be there
When I close my eyes

I take this vow (yeah)
You captured my heart, so long ago
Still there are some critical things
That you should know (yeah yeah yeah)

Do I give all I am
To be all and forever your man?
Do I take you to be?
Without question, the woman for me
Do I promise you? I do
Do I promise you? I do, I do

This love has been worth
But waiting for
This love doesn't matter to me
If it's not yours
As we become one
Through and through
I dedicate all of my life
To loving you (yeah yeah yeah)

Do I give all I am
To be all and forever your man?
Do I take you to be?
Without question, the woman for me
Do I promise you? I do

Our passions unfold
I promise a life you won't regret
For better or worse
No one can reverse the way that I've felt
Since we met
And you ain't seen nothing yet

Do I give all I am
To be all and forever your man?
Do I take you to be?
Without question, the woman for me
Do I swear on my life?
We'll be happy as husband and wife

Do I promise you?

Do I promise you? I do
Do I promise you? I do, I do (I, I do)...

Thank You In Advance


Excuse me, I know we just met
But may I have this dance?

Sitting here with a drink in my hand
Your presence I can't ignore
I must admit I like watching you dance
But it seems like I've seen this before
Girl, you look like my first wife
Though I've never been married before
So I kiss your hand and tell you "Thank you"
You turn and ask me what for

For our first kiss, oh, next week
For when we make love, it seems sweet?
For the ring you wore probably three months from now
For when you said "I do" next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met
But I thank you in advance

(Shawn, help me sing it)

Hi, my name is Shawn
Tell me your name
Although I know the last one
It's funny that we're shaking hands
[Wait a minute, I know this hand]
It's the same hand (I'll hold in front of a minister)
Same hand (when you're havin' my son and his sister)
I don't mean to sound so bold and forward
But I thank you in advance

For our first kiss, oh, next week
For when we make love, it seems sweet?
For the ring you wore probably three months from now
For when you said "I do" next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met
But I thank you in advance

It's like I came back in time to tell you thank you
You were as beautiful then as you are now
Look in the mirror, there is a picture
Of you and the man you love

For our first kiss, oh, next week
For when we make love, it seems sweet?
For the ring you wore probably three months from now
For when you said "I do" next March

Come here baby
Let me talk to you
I've been watching you
And you look so, so good tonight
Words just can't express
The way that you're makin' me feel
I'm just captured by your love
And your sensuality
Let me explain

There you are, standing there
Make me wanna reach out and touch you
And run my fingers through your hair
I know you gotta go
But I want you to stay
So we can get a little closer
And do things my way

Baby, you're so beautiful
Honey you're special too
You make me wanna do things, yeah
I never thought I'd do
Like put you up in my home
And buy you fancy things
We can make lots and lots of babies
And I'll buy you a big diamond ring, ohh

Never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me
Oh, never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in
Wanna know every single detail
Feel the movement of your skin
If you are to ever leave me
My heart would sure enough die
So please be with me forever
And don't you ever say goodbye

Never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me
Oh, never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me

See you are (you are everything to me)
Can't you see baby
All of my friends think I'm crazy

Hungry for your love
Waiting to be flare
Your body speaks to mine

As the moon evades our bedroom
And reveals the sweat on your back (on your back...yeeaahhh)
It increases my intensity to go there and never come back
I'm trying to hold on
To hold on
But I don't know for how...looong...

Moving in slow
I can smell her perfume (she smells so good)
She's moving closer still

Do You Remember


Couldn't have been more than a day over three
Tried to do and be everything that I saw on TV
That won't work now like it did work back then
But then it was easier to imagine for me

We never had to care which party would win
Would the fighting go on, would it ever end?
Yeah, yeah
And I know Rock 'n Roll was the safest way to be
When we were free, so young and free

And we didn't have a care in the world
We were just too young to understand, at all
And if you feel what I'm feelin'
Then you remember

Tell me do you remember when
Everything in life was so much better then
Tell me do you remember when
Do you remember?

Do you, do you remember?

We never had to save for the rainy day
Just enjoying this time in our lives company
Surely we never needed to think about the time
Because we were free (then we were free)
So young and free

And we didn't have a care in the world
And we were just too young to understand, at all
Ooh, and since you feel what I'm feelin'
I know you remember

Tell me do you remember when
Everything in life was so much better then
Tell me do you remember when
Do you remember?
