Twisted Elegance


Twisted elegance.
Its my believe that we have the need to fell special
And its this need that can bring the best in us
Yet the worst in us this need created the velvet rope.

Velvet Rope


( Featuring Vanessa Mae )

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

This special need, That's within us
Brings out the best, yet the worst in us
Follow the passion that's within you
Living the truth will set you free

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

Put other down to fill us up
Oppressing me will oppress you
Outside leave judgment, outside hate
One love's the answer, You'll find in you

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

You


Here I am in your face, telling truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're running outta time
See ya can't get away, I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin' in your ear, do believe 'cause you know you cannot win

Spend most you life pretending not to be,
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth?
If special's what you feel with them
Taken away, you feel less than again

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own need
Chech in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then.
Pointin' the figer again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own need
Chech in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then.
Pointin' the figer again
You can't blame nobody but you

There's a feelin' inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make a try, and with time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
'Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to
Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into.
You cannot run for you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own need
Chech in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then.
Pointin' the figer again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own need
Chech in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the figer again
You can't blame nobody but you

Got 'Til It's Gone


( Featuring Q-Tip And Joni Mitchell )

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Have a feelin'
Now believin'
That you were the one
I was meant to be with
Oh, how I'm wishin'
Thinkin' dreamin'
'Bout you
And the love
How'd I let you get away

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

If I could turn the hands of time
Make you fall in love
In love with me again
So would you give me
Another chance to love
To love you
Love you the right way
No games

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Q-Tip:
Let me just f..k with it for a minute
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Q-Tip:
Now you are realizing when the nights go long, right
Campaign for me to stay
When you know that I'm gone, right
You act all wild
When I tell you to settle
I was working `round the clock
But you girls want to meddle
Talkin' about, I heard he swims with his chick on the beach
That was out with the tide but my love you impeached
Now you lookin' at the walls
Head in hand
Cold jonezin'
Ringing my house
Hang up and posing

Now why you wanne go and do that?
love huh...
Now why you wanne go and do that?
And do that? Huh...

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)

Empty


How could it be, that you know me?
My deepest fears, my fantasies?
Confide in you what no one knows,
But it feels so real.

When I close my eyes, I can see your face
When I lick my lips, I can taste your smile
When I see your name, my heart starts to race.
If I can't read your thoughts, Then I feel empty.

Is this a new way to love?
Never face to face.
Is it enough? does it really count? or am I a fool

So tell me please, Am I wasting my time?
Your phrases, descriptive
And thought the textured words, with beauty.
You post it and use such colored verbs.
We've never met.

When I close my eyes, I can see your face
When I lick my lips, I can taste your smile
When I see your name, my heart starts to race.
If I can't read your thoughts, Then I feel empty

I'm rushin' home, to turn you on,
Sometimes you're there, Sometimes you're gone.
Wait for hours for your return.

So tell me please, Am I wasting my time?
Your phrases, descriptive
And thought the textured words, with beauty.
You post it and use such colored verbs.
So tell me, you think that maybe we've gone insane.
To find a, a lover. And through the words of pain.
We've never met,

When I close my eyes, I can see your face
When I lick my lips, I can taste your smile
When I see your name, my heart starts to race.
If I can't read your thoughts, Then I feel empty. (I feel empty)

What About


We walked along the beach, what a moon lit night
He held my hand in his, he kissed me, he said:
I wanna spend my life with you, I want you for my wife.
Just then I thought:

What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried,
You wouldn't even hold me?
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?

I took a pause, and then a deep sigh.
He looked right into my eyes, as he said:
I know I didn't say somethin' wrong.
I didn't have the courage to say,
But then I thought:

What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried,
You wouldn't even hold me?
What about those things?
What about that? What about that? (oh)

What about the times you hit my face?
What about the times you kept on when I said:
No more please?
What about those things?
What about that? What about that? (oh)
What about the times you shamed me?
What about the times you said you didn't f..k her,
She only gave you head?
What about that? What about that?

Don't wanna live my life in misery.
Don't tell me you didn't cause you love me,
I don't believe.
I'm sick and tired, your deceptive games
Wonder where you have been,
I can't live life wonderin'.

My heart was poundin', but the time had come
To stop lettin' my wisperin' heart control me.
And tellin' my screamin' mind what to do.
I looked him straight in the eye, and then I said:

What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried,
You wouldn't even hold me?
What about those things?
What about that? What about that? (oh)

What about the times you hit my face?
What about the times you kept on when I said:

Every Time


I'm afraid I'm starting to feel,
What I said I would not do.
That last time really hurt me.
I'm scared to fall in love,
Afraid to love so fast.
'Cause every time I fall in love
It seems to never last.

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear.
'Cause everytime I see your face
My heart does begin to race, every time.

One half wants to me to go,
Other half wants me to stay.
I just get so all confused
I'm scared to fall in love,
Afraid to love so fast.
'Cause every time I fall in love
It seems to never last.

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear.
'Cause everytime, (huh)
My heart does begin to race everytime.

Scared to fall in love,
Afraid to love so fast.
'cause every time I fall in love
It seems to never last.

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear.
'Cause everytime I see your face
My heart does begin to race, every time.
(It's every time, It's every time)

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear.
'Cause everytime I see your face .
Could it be that this will be the one that lasts?
The fear does start to erase every time.
Could it be that this will be the one that lasts?
For all my times, oh yeah, for all my times.

Tonight's The Night


Stay away from my window,
Stay away from my back door too.
Disconnect the telephone line.
Relax baby and draw that blind.

Kick off your shoes, and sit right down.
Loosen up the back of your pretty french gown.
Let me pour ya a good long drink.
Ooh baby don't you hesitate.

Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl.
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now.

Come on angel, my heart's on fire.
Don't deny this one desire
You'll be a fool, to stop this time.
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause;

Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl.
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now.

Don't say a word my virgin child.
Just let your inhibitions run wild.
The secret is about to unfold.
Upstair before the night's too old, 'cause;

Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl.
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now.

Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you boy.
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now.

This is so special. Tonight's the night,
Don't be afraid, you know I'm gonna make it alright
Don't be afraid, I'm gonna make things alright.

Tonight's the night,
Don't be afraid, you know I'm gonna make it alright
Don't be afraid, I'm gonna make things alright.
Please don't leave, I don't wanna be left all alone.

Want no one but you.

Now I'm alone
Sittin' here by the phone
Call and say that you're ok
So that I'll have, the chance
To beg you to stay. I want no one but you.

You are the one, that lives in me, my dear.
Want no one but you.

Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down.

Rope Burn


Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin: I wanna feel a soft rope burn.
Wanna feel a rope burn.

When you walked into the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door.
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room
And tell me fantasies.

The passionn in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blind fold
Tie it gently on me.
Don't wanna see, but feel the things
You're gonna do to me.

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin': I wanna feel a soft rope burn.
Wanna feel a rope burn.

One in the mornin'
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin'
Just my imagination for you
Sensation will do.
Can you feel the warmth of the
Candellight embrace your body.
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down tthe small of my back

You wanna know what my tounge feels like?
You like that?

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know

Special


Hey J, It's been a long time since
I've seen you last.
A half and twenty-six years (My time is fast)
I'm well, though I've gone through
Some deep changes in my life.
It's hasn't been easy. Oh no not for me.
I'ts been difficult at times
Sometimes I'd sit down and cry,
Ask God why? (Fair...what is?)

I know how you're feelin'
Same thing I did deal with
Ya not as alone, as you may feel
You see but oh, it catches up to us fast.
We have to deal with our past,
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

We need to remember,
The love lies deep within ourselves
We have to, want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn, we're all born with
Specialness inside us.
I have the need to feel real special too.

You see you can't run away from your pain
Because wherever you run there you will be.
You have to learn to water your spiritual garden.
Then you will be free.

I know how you're feelin'
Same thing I did deal with
Ya not as alone, as you may feel

Trying to make it in this busy world
People around you, try to stop you
Stomp you saying that you don't belong.

You must remember that,
You were born with blood of
Kings and Queens and
Can't be stopped!
Stay strong, once you start,
You can't be stopped.
No you can't be stopped.

I know that sometimes
You get to feel that
I've givin' up on you.
The pressure seems to, to defeat you
Gives you when you feel
You can't go on.

You must remember that,
You were born with blood of
Kings and Queens and
Can't be stopped!
Stay strong, I'm your body.
Can't be stopped.
No you can't be stopped.

Don't ever let nobody tell you
"You ain’t strong enough".
Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t strong enough
Don't let noboy tell you

You know that I’ll be right here
To remind you that we need
Togetherness, 'cause lost pride
Has no room, if you don't forget
Where you come from.

You must remember that,
You were born with blood of
Kings and Queens and
Can't be stopped!
Stay strong, I'm your body.
Can't be stopped.
No you can't be stopped.

Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t strong enough
Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t.

Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t strong enough
Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t.

Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t strong enough
Strong enough,
Don't let noboy tell you
You ain’t Strong enough.
