Slow Jam


( Featuring Usher )
( From Soul Food Soundtrack )

I was all alone, I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up, so I drooped in on a dance
Just to take a glance and there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough, I asked her for her hand
Said would you like to dance, so pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand, and we danced and fell in love, on a slow jam
Ohhh

Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

Seems what you say is true, I feel the same way too
You see I waited all night long just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand, I knew you were the man
To turn my world around, and make my dreams come true
The magic in your eyes made me realize that everything I feel has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love, on a slow jam

Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

Usher
I've been trying to find someone who I can give my good lovin to
Never, ever did I dream I'd find someone

Monica
Now I've been tryin to find someone too
I prayed to heaven and then I found you
I swear I fell in love the night you danced into my heart

Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

Grown Up Christmas List


Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List

May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List

Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth
No...

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List

This is the prayer that I will keep
This is my grown up Christmas list
Christmas list

Just Another Girl


( From Down To Earth Soundtrack )

You think your slick in every way changing up on your calls on your phone everyday
Is there something that you're trying to hide from me?
I never gave you reason to
Run and take your calls in the other room.
Am I the only one or is somebody else kissing at you?
Is this my imagination?

Things ain't always what they seem.
Cause I don't want to be.

Just another name in your little black book
Just another face in the crowd and it's got me shook.
I've got to mean a little more to you
Than a space in your list of things to do.
Another g-shock gun in your Benz.
Another dumb bitch that you can show all your friends.
You can call me crazy, say I'm insecure.
But I don't wanna be just another girl.

Ooooh ohhhh ohhh mmm hhmmm
Strange how you claim to tell all the truth.
When the passenger seat in your car has been moved
And you swore that there was no one else but you.
And so now you can't explain why'd you called me by somebody else's name.
You say it's history, player, thing's are through or so you say.
Is this my imagination?
Things ain't always what they seem cause I don't want to be

Just another name in your little black book
Just another face in the crowd and it's got me shook.
I've got to mean a little more to you
Than a space in your list of things to do.
Another g-shock gun in your Benz.
Another dumb bitch that you can show all your friends.
You can call me crazy, say I'm insecure.
But I don't wanna be just another girl.

Tell me, how you lie and reason my suspicious mind.
I've gotta know the truth if I'm just another girl you treated wrong.
Not the one you string along Is it you and me, is it two or three?
Cause I don't want to be

Just another name in your little black book
Just another face in the crowd and it's got me shook.
I've got to mean a little more to you
Than a space in your list of things to do.
Another g-shock gun in your Benz.
Another dumb bitch that you can show all your friends.
You can call me crazy, say I'm insecure.
But I don't wanna be just another girl...

What My Heart Says


( From Love Song Soundtrack )

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

So let them say its wrong
For me to love you
They could never feel
The way that I do when we kiss
When we're close like this

They can't see inside my soul
They can't know the love we know
All they do is waste their time
They can never change my mind

It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
What my heart says

Let them say that I'm a fool
To fall so deeply
Cause they will never ever be
Loved so completely
How can they even talk that way?

They can't see it through my eyes
They can't feel this love inside
All their words don't mean a thing
They can't change the way I feel, no, no

It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me

And I have never felt so sure about anything
See you are the one, the one that I need
It doesn't matter what they think
Or what they say
I'm loving you anyway, oh
All I know is what I hear

It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me

La, la, la, la, la
What my heart says
Oh, what my heart says

Missing You


( From Fled Soundtrack )

Didn't think I'd be without you
Didn't think that I would see
Didn't think that I would lose my love
How could this happen to me
I must have took for granted
That you would always be there baby, believe

Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love

The only one for me
Wanting you so much
That I don't know what to do
Strung out on your love
Baby, I been missing you
Crazy for your touch
Lonely without you
I be missing you so much, yea

Can't take one night without you
Don't wanna do anything
But sit around and think of
How I want you with me
Just can't erase these feelings
Somehow I know that time will make it better

Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love

The only one for me
Wanting you so much
That I don't know what to do
Strung out on your love
Baby, I been missing you
Crazy for your touch
Lonely without you
I be missing you so much, yea...

Somebody Bigger Than You And I


( Featuring Whitney Houston )
( From Preacher's Wife Soundtrack )

Somebody bigger than the Earth is round
Bigger than the saddest frown
Bigger than the brightest smile
And longer than the longest mile

Somebody bigger than the biggest fight
And darker than the darkest night
Bigger than the biggest gun
Cause he's the only shining sun cmon

Who made the mountains
Who made the trees
Who made the rivers that flow out to the seas
And who hung the moon in the starry, starry, starry sky

Somebody bigger
I know I know he's bigger than you and I
My God is bigger
Somebody bigger
He's bigger, he's bigger than you
He's bigger than you
My God is, my God is oh

Now who made the flowers bloom in the spring, yeah
And who writes the songs for the robins to sing uh
And who sends the rain when the Earth is dry
I know, I know, I know
Somebody bigger yeah
Than you and I
Somebody bigger than you and I
Bigger than you and I

He lights the way when road is alone
Keeps me company with love to guide you
He walks beside you just like he walks with me

When I am weary, and filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go on and on and on from there
And who gives me faith
I will never, never, never, never, never doubt
Somebody bigger yeah
Somebody bigger than me and you
Bigger than you and I
Somebody bigger
My Lord is bigger than you
Bigger than you and I

He lights the way when the road is long
Keeps you company with love to guide you
He walks beside you just like he walks with me

Somebody bigger than you and I
Bigger than the open sky
Bigger than the tallest tree
Bigger than the deepest sea
Somebody deeper than the desert sands
Bigger than the tallest man
And phatter than the phattest phat
Bigger than the Shaq attack

Somebody bigger
I know I know he's bigger than you and I
My God is bigger
Somebody bigger
He's bigger, he's bigger than you
He's bigger than you
My God is, my God is oh
