All That I Can Say


Lovin you is wonderful
Somethin' like a miracle
Rest assured I feel the same way you do

Needin' you, it isn't hard
With you I can let down my guard
Stay secure, that's all I'm asking of you

I wish I had words to tell
This feelin' that I know so well
But I don't, I don't

All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo

I've always been curious
Needin' someone serious
Lookin' for someone who loves like me

But the day I stopped my search
It seemed that you were put on earth
To show me everything I could not see

I wish I could find a way
To tell you how I felt that day
But I can't, I can't

All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo

Knowin' him, Touchin' him
Showin' him that I'm all for him
Mendin' him, forgivin' him
I would do it all again
Genuine seraphim, sweeter than cinnamon
Heaven sent gentleman
Then I miss the lovin' in him

All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo

I love you
Don't want live without you
It's all that I can say
Lovin' you is wonderful

All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo

All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo
All that I can say, doo doo doo doo

Sexy


( Featuring Jadakiss )

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Looking in my mirror
Thinking 'bout last night
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

You were saying Mary
Don't let go, hold tight
I just wanna hold you
All through the night

This is something that I can't deny
Boy you know your touch just drives me wild
Won't you take my hand I'll set you free
I want you to belong to me

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh

Uh, uh-huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-huh, uh
Yo, yo, yo
You might bump into the Kiss late night
Or on the DN speeding
In the drop, four thirty on my way to rock a birdie
With automatic lead in the car, bread in the car
Plus I'm gettin' head in the car
My wedding tomorrow
More dutchies to the head, the ready you are
After the session with shorty
I'll be better tomorrow
And you know how we are
We always keep one or two
That don't say much
Like to hit a blunt or two
Or don't mind driving with raw in the trunk
Or freaking off for the week
Top floor in the trunk
Just laying back blowing
Twenty five's a skull
The our keys by the door with bow ties and posts
Can't let me get away
But you ain't ready for Kiss
Got the Chevy and the six
Wrists heavy and shit
Matter of fact we gonna take a trip
And put the dats up
And cop the pink lemonade Cadillac truck

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

This is something that I can't deny
Boy you know your touch just drives me wild
Won't you take my hand I'll set you free
I want you to belong to me

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't have you,
Can't let you go, no
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't have you,
Can't let you go, no

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can't have you, if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no

Deep Inside


The problem is for many years
I lived my life publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust, (I really trust)
And every time I find someone I like
Gotta worry about
If it's really me that they see and I thought you were the one

Deep Inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary

I don't have alot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me?
'Cause they're lookin' for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be good
To those who are good to me
Don't judge me or think I'm bitter
For the evil God allowed me to see
I'm just Mary

Deep Inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary

I'm Just Mary
I'm Just Mary
I'm just Mary, can't you see that I-I-I
I'm just Mary
I'm Just Mary
I said I'm just Mary, oh yeah
I said I'm just Mary, oh yeah
Oh yeah

The car I drive, the clothes I wear
The diamonds, the furs and the house
Don't make the woman
Material things don't mean a thing to me
'Cause I need someone to stand by me
I need someone
Supply my needs and not just to trade on Mary
Why can't you love the person inside
And stop lookin' outside?

Beautiful Ones


So beautiful,
So beautiful

I'd give my flesh for yours
I'd sacrifice everything
You are my door to a new beginning
A lucky charm, potato pie
So sweet you make me cry
I can't deny
The way you make me feel inside

You are a beautiful one
And I long to hold
You until the sun
Goes down on your soul

Have mercy on me
I'm crazy 'bout you
Looking all ethereal
Lips make me through
You are my song when there's no music to play
Oh I wanna marry someone like you someday

You are a beautiful one
And I long to hold
You until the sun
Goes down on your soul

Oh beautiful one...
Don't you ever go,
Don't you ever go

Can't you hear the bell's ringing
Doves flying in the air
With this ring I promise to always be right there
Through the good and the bad times
Forever yours, I will remain
With your love baby and my life
You know we can stop the rain, yeah

You are a beautiful one
And I long to hold
You until the sun
Goes down on your soul

Oh beautiful one...
Don't you ever go,
Don't you go...

You are a beautiful one
And I long to hold
You until the sun
Goes down on your soul

Oh beautiful one
Don't you ever go,

Time


If I had my way life would be just fine
But the world is too much and it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leavin' but I must be wise
Because time is not on our side
Because time is not on our side

The end is comin'
Stop your runnin'
Im tellin' you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them?
Somethin' cast a spell upon their minds
And they always wanna condemn

If I had my way life would be just fine
But the world is too much and it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leavin' but I must be wise
Because time is not on our side
Because time is not on our side

While you're judging me
You should look around
And you'll see our people goin' down
Some of them were killed over a dime
Now tell me, do we really have time
To continue with this madness?
'Cause I'm sick and tired of this
Tryin' to cross my world with jealousy
And I'm about to catch a fit

If I had my way life would be just fine
But the world is too much and it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leavin' but I must be wise
Because time is not on our side
Because time is not on our side

You're decevin'
What's the meanin' of you're retrievin'
The enemy's greievin?
We all are leavin' someday but
We don't know how we all are goin'
Please belive me when I tell you
That time is not really on our side
Repeat along with the following
How can you hurt the children?
They mean so much to us
They'll soon be leaders
And they will lead us to a righteous path
But you must understand
Time is not, time is not on our side
Time is not on our side

Memories


Sitting here all alone of Valentine's Day
I really wanna call him up
But my pride is all in the way
Vision's gettin' clearer
I see what's been goin' on for years
Though once you say you're far
Really are so near, I'm thinkin' of...

The roses that you sent to me
All the kisses that you gave to me
Memories of what we used to be

All alone, this special day
Thinkin' 'bout the time you went away
Valentine's Day will never be the same

How come men nowadays
Bring you so much joy and so much pain?
Can't anybody help me?
I think I'm goin' insane
Valentine's Day will never be the same
'Cause I think about you always
I cherish everything you gave to me
I'm thinkin' of...

The roses that you sent to me
All the kisses that you gave to me
Memories of what we used to be

You took my love for granted
Then you used me to think that
Everything was fine between me and you
Every time just it comes around
I wanna feel your touch
I can't belive what you did to me
I hate you did me wrong
But still I must move on
(I gotta move on)

The roses that you sent to me
All the kisses that you gave to me
Memories of what we used to be

The roses that you sent to me
All the kisses that you gave to me
Memories of what we used to be

Don't Waste Your Time


( Featuring Aretha Franklin )

Lately I've got this funny feelin'
Somethin' don't feel the same
But he's tellin' me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good lovin'
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Can't waste my time
Girl, it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Yeah, you've gotta let him go
Seen it a million times before
Shouldn't take his s*** no more

Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinkin'
When somethin' don't feel the same
You better belive his love has changed
(Yeah, I been tellin' you)
And what your're tellin' me
('Cause it's been hurtin' me)
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stark naked truth and I never lie

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

What's the point of love when you've got no trust?
What's the point of stayin' when you've seen enough?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?
He don't deserve it No, he don't deserve it!

What's the point of feelin' like there's nothin inside?
What's the point of sayin' that you still got your pride?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Your Child


It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad baby
But I gotta face reality
It's too bad, it's too bad
Too bad baby, yeah
But I gotta face reality

Today you had a visitor
Or should I say an old friend
But wait a minute
That's not where it ends no
Is there something that you want to tell me?
Cause I'm believing what your friends say
'Bout your hidden secrecies
And girlfriend
She wasn't disrespectful
In fact, she's a hundred percent sure And how can I argue with her
Holding a baby with eyes like yours

She said it's your child
And it really messed me up
How could you deny
Your own flesh and blood
Gotta face reality
There can never be anymore us
Won't deny it's hurting me
Yes so precious
She said she never wanted to hurt me
And could I understand she's afraid and lost
She said a real woman wouldn't do this over the phone
And that you told her about me after the baby was born

She said it's your child
And it really messed me up
How could you deny
Your own flesh and blood
Gotta face reality
There can never be anymore us
Won't deny it's hurting me
Yes so precious

Hmm, oh I can't, looks just like you
How could you deny your own flesh and blood?
Your own child
What kind of man are you?

How could you deny

Gotta face reality

No Happy Holidays


I can't believe
After all this time
I'm in love with a man
Who can never be mine
And just to think
I believed one day you'd really leave
Like you said you would
Cause you don't love her
But your little girl really needs you, oh

Christmas you weren't with me
On New Year's Eve you were not around
Valentine came and went
Makes me wonder where your time was spent
No fireworks on the Fourth of July
Thanksgiving was another lie
Your family has never met me
And you've never met mine
No happy holiday

I got to let go of this feeling
Being with you deprives me of true love
I can't fathom living this life
Without being number one
This is finally goodbye
I pray to God you live a happy life
Cause loving you just ain't right

Christmas you weren't with me
On New Year's Eve you were not around
Valentine came and went
Makes me wonder where your time was spent
No fireworks on the Fourth of July
Thanksgiving was another lie
Your family has never met me
And you've never met mine
No happy holiday

I wish I had known
The situation from the start
Now it's complicated because
I gave you my heart
Honestly I held on
For my ego, my pride
But what goes around comes around
But maybe next time I'll be on the other side

Christmas you weren't with me
On New Year's Eve you were not around
Valentine came and went
Makes me wonder where your time was spent
No fireworks on the Fourth of July
Thanksgiving was another lie
Your family has never met me
And you've never met mine
No happy holiday

The Love I Never Had


You know sometimes there come a time in your life
When you love something you got to let it go
And even though you might feel there's still something there
You have to wake up
Stop leaving in a dream cause it's over now
You got to think about you

I have always wondered why
Why I can't live without you babe
And I'm longing to be your lady

Cause everybody needs someone to love
And I know that it's true

And I doubt that you will see things
Clearly before it's too late

Cause everybody needs someone to love
And I know that it's true

I don't understand why you can't be my man
So I better wake up

Break it down, break it down

All the times I've cried
It made me realize
That I was only living a lie
But you don't know how hard I tried
To make sure you were satisfied yeah
Cause I thought you were only mine
And I doubt if you will see things clearly
Before it's too late, too late, too late

I don't understand why you can't be my man
Oh everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody yeah
Baby, baby, baby I can't live with you
And I doubt that you will see things clearly

Let No Man Put Asunder


I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door
Remember the good times, don't you want some more?
It's not a perfect love, but I'll defend it
Cause I believe that's what God intended

We've got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh no don't throw it away
Don't throw it away

I can hear those words spoken as I stood
Making bouts through love that times are better good
(Don't you want it?)
I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be
Even the stars declare that you belong to me

We've got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh no don't throw it away
Don't throw it away

It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
(It's not over) Said I need you
And I want you

I got to have you every day in my dog gone life

That no matter what we go through baby

Because I know deep inside you feel the same
Because it's not over
It's not over, no, no, between you and me
It's not over, hmmm na
Say ooh baby, ooh baby
