1. Intro

Thanks for loving me
Thanks for caring so
I know that you care for me so
How could I forget about
How can I forget about, forget about

I want to give my all so thank you Lord
Thank you Lord, oh
Yeah yeah



2. Emotional

I knew you when
I had a friend
Very deeply
Lovely within
But somehow we got loose
From what was oh so tight
Somewhere we went wrong
When we were oh so right

What's a man to do when he just can't take no more
What am I to do when my heart leads me to the door
Now we've tried and tried again
But now this is the end
Tell me what's the use of holding on
If we can't be friends

I'm emotional
And I can't let go
I am trying to hold on to you
Though it hurts me so
Gotta let you know
That the love we once shared now is through
Say goodbye to you

You seem to hurt me purposely
I didn't understand it
Oh girl, why me?
I had no choice
What was best for us
Was to terminate our love and be free

What's a man to do when he just can't take no more
What am I to do when my heart leads me to the door
Now we've tried and tried again
But now this is the end
Tell me what's the use of holding on
If we can't be friends

I'm emotional
And I can't let go
I am trying to hold on to you
Though it hurts me so
Gotta let you know
That the love we once shared now is through
Say goodbye to you

I'm emotional
And I can't let go
I am trying to hold on to you
Though it hurts me so
Gotta let you know
That the love we once shared now is through
Say goodbye to you

What's a man to do when he just can't take no more
What am I to do when my heart leads me to the door
Now we've tried and tried again
But now this is the end
Tell me what's the use of holding on
If we can't be friends

I'm emotional
And I can't let go
I am trying to hold on to you
Though it hurts me so
Gotta let you know
That the love we once shared now is through
Say goodbye to you

I'm emotional
And I can't let go
I am trying to hold on to you
Though it hurts me so
Gotta let you know
That the love we once shared now is through
Say goodbye to you



3. I Wish

It was love at first sight
I know from the way she looked at me
Her eyes said it all
Long days and nights, we spent
Until she dropped the bomb on me
When she said that she
Was unhappily married with children

[CHORUS]
And I wish I never met her at all
Even though I love her so
She got love from me
But she still belongs to someone else

It hurts so bad, for sure
Because she wants to be with me
But she cannot be with me
She chose to stay, at home
So they could be a family
For the children
But what about me?

[CHORUS]

Maybe in another life
Things could be the way we both desired
It's a catch-22
Either way it hurts
Someone that you lose

[CHORUS (x2 with some adlibbing)]

I wish I wish I never met her at all
I wouldn't hurt so much inside
Oh I wouldn't feel this pain
If I never met her at all, at all, at all
Wish I never, wish I never



4. Anything (Interlude)

Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Oh, yeah yeah

Anything
I am anything
I'm the one that you're perceiving in your heart
Anything
I am anything
If you think of me I'll be right where you are
Anything
I am anything
I'm the distance love can go that you don't do

Anything
I am anything
If you reach for me then I'll reach right for you
Anything
I am anything
I'm the darkness in the ocean, the sea blue
Anything
I am anything



5. My Valentine

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

Sometimes at night I can not sleep
I think of you with revering
But like an ancient melody
You're beautiful but melancholy
Girl if I could
Don't you know I would
Take the pain away from

My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile

What can I do
To get through to you
My funny Valentine
I'd do anything just to see you smile

I know obsession is a sin
But I feel you underneath my skin
Are you the prize that I'll never win
Because you haunt me like a thousand violins

But I won't give up, no no
Until I earn your trust
Cuz you're a part of me
And it's my destiny to fly away with

My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile

What can I do
To get through to you
Tell me you're

My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile

What can I do
To get through to you
My funny Valentine
I'd do anything just to see you smile

Smile (To see)
Smile (Your smile)
Smile (Your touch, your smile)
To see (Your face) you smile (Your smile)
Smile (Your smile, your touch)
Smile (Your smile, your smile, your face)
Why won't you smile (Why won't)
Smile (You smile)
Smile (Why won't you smile)
I'll make you smile (Oh, why won't)
Smile (you smile)
Smile
Ooh



6. Giving You All My Love

[Intro]
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Oh oh, oh yeah

All alone by the phone
Waiting on you to call on a busy weekend
Tell me have I seen when I stayed around
Around the town waiting on you to tell me what to do
Cuz I'm happy being with you

Touching you, holding you
Is all I really wanna do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love

It's just a wish on my mind
Hoping you'd have the time
When I wanna see you
For something to hold on to
If love is just a silly game
Then I'm a fool that sang for loving you
Still I feel you don't have nothing to prove

Touching you, holding you
Is all I really wanna do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love

Maybe on tomorrow
I can show you years tomorrow
If you let me, baby we'll see
And we can get together
We can try to blend forever holding tightly
Then baby we can do what we want to

Touching you, holding you
Is all I really wanna do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love

Touching you, holding you
Is all I really wanna do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love



7. Cadillac Rap (Interlude)

Can I sit and talk to you for a second
[Woman] Whassup, whassup?

[Man]
It's like baby, when I look at you
You know what I'm sayin', it's like in the morning
The stars, you know what I'm saying
And everything I can do for that
You're like everything I ever wanted and dreamed in a woman
It's like and everytime when I look at you
You know that girl?

[Woman] Really?

[Man]
Yeah, it's like uh, you know the first time I saw you
You know what I'm saying, it's almost like

And make some, um, just trust me

8. Woke Up In The Morning

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I shoulda known one day that you'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that I'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that we'd be

Why did you have to be this way
Baby all you had to say
Was that you were sick and tired of the man I began to be
But you planned a great escape
Bright and early before I wake
We both knew we had to break
You coulda chose a better way

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I shoulda known one day that you'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that I'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that we'd be

It was cold the way you left
Still the pain is in my chest
Because in my heart I felt you shoulda came and talked to me
If you put away your pride
And look deep into my eyes
It woulda been to your surprise
That I got up to apologize
But you were gone

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I shoulda known one day that you'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that I'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that we'd be

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I shoulda known one day that you'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that I'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that we'd be

Oh I thought we had forever, now it's gone
It's time to carry on
I thought that you made me happy
But it's this thing that's come between us girl
At one time you were my world
Now it seems it's gone away, gone away

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I shoulda known one day that you'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that I'd be gone
You shoulda known one day that we'd be



9. Come To Me

[Intro]
Baby, there's something that I just wanna tell you
And, you know I never needed you more than I need you right now
And I swallow my pride and
I'm really ready to listen
Just come to me
Tell me I'm the one

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

Said I need to know
About the way you're feeling, baby
Cuz in my heart love just wants to grow, oh
So I'll move it slow
Because there's no real way of knowing
If you feel the same and want to show, show me

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

You're my baby girl
And nothing else could ever matter
When we love I just can't get enough
But if we move too fast
Then we regret the morning after
When will there be time enough for us, for us

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

You make me feel so brand new
I just wanna spend my time with you
And I'll never let someone so true
I just wanna love you over

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again



10. Cold, Cold World

I can remember the day I left you
Wasn't that long ago
I said some things I shouldn'ta said
And I'm sorry
But you know? Ever since that day
I've vowed to myself
To get you 'round again
Just listen

Sitting here wondering what went wrong
Why did you have to leave me
Cuz I don't really wanna go on
Because I'd rather plead and beg you to stay
Cuz I need you woman, every single day

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

Baby love could you tell me what's on your heart
Because I really wonder if we can make a brand new start
Cuz I'd rather die then live without your smile
Come on back home, baby
I been missing you for a while

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

Girl all the wealth I have really doesn't mean a thing
If I can't share it with you, baby
Don't think I'd survive
Well, I've had it all, lost it all
To have you girl, I'd throw it all away
Oh, baby I need you

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why

It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why



11. Troubles Won’t Last (Interlude)

But I'm sayin'
Here I am, say lying and praying
That I'm laying something hot
Cuz baby, it's cold outside
And even when it's not, it still is

Baby shorties ask me what the deal is
Not listenin' to they mom and them
Cuz they all know what they talkin' 'bout, like Willis
I say what shorty desire, be what real is
And when I first came to her
I was still wet behind the ears
So I was just the lame to her
I heard older cats lay claim to her
And say they speak game to her
But they never put a name to her

So I called her desire
Like so many street cars that I did for
For her promises, little brothers, there bids for
And little sisters sacrifice they head for
Even street-wise vets wind up dead for
See she will attempt to straight pimp you
You'll scream "Fuck the world"
But soon go them too

She proclaim that my esteem was way off the rack
I had style but it was the Caddy I lack
The gangsta white walls and the diamond in the back

I asked her was she white or black
She said neither one, or somewhere in between
Plus she was mean and had been seen
In places where cats got big faces
Has made some trade in freestyles for freebases

I knew that my best friend was meddling
But I continued peddling
But I got arrested before I got rich
Trying to make some scratch
Like trigger fingers that itch
She told me she call me an ambulance
If I ever called her a bitch

(I'm so glad)
Alright, I tried to be online
(Trouble don't last)
But the matrix had a major glitch
(Always)
She said my style could never switch
I was her nigger for life
(Always)
She said her peeps
Probably couldn't pronounce Malik Yusef
But they could pronounce us man and wife
(I'm so glad)
So the script I attempted to flip, flop
(Trouble don't last)
Flip floppin' to backwards, know
(Always)
In the backseats



12. You Ain't Right

I'm working hard
50 hours a week paying for the car
And the house we had built on the boulevard
And as soon as you get home you wanna start
With something negative
Besides phsyical harm, what do you give
And you make lots of noise for someone who sits
At home all day watching One Life To Live

You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no

We're suppose to be a team
At least you could do things like cook and clean
But I ask you what's up, you start looking mean
Smackin' your lips like you're still a teenager
And I'm sick of this, but I end up in this perdicament
I would rather go somewhere and pitch a tent
Then to stay here with you acting ignorant

You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no

You shouldn't take for granted my love
Cuz one day it could be gone
Taking the best of me and my love
I gave to you and you gave me none

You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no



13. Lady Lay Your Body

Oh, lady would you lay
Lady would you lay
I'll rub them all around

Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
Places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away

Last night I think I fell in love with you
It was from a window watching you around my way
I was too shy to even call to you
So I wrote some words that made it easier to say
Lady would you lay

Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
Places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away

Visions of you around my bed
Nothing but roses when you rest your lovely head
And I'll put my everything in you
You know I'm the only one who knows just what to do
Lady

Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
Places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away

You've waited, oh so long for me to come your way
But now I'm here and sadness is gone away
Lay lady lay, lay
Won't you lay with me, oh oh
Whoa oh, lady would you lay

Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
Places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away

Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
Places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away

All away
Hey hey, I wanna rub them all away



14. Supastar

Girl

You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
Cuz you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are

You must have been there waiting all the while
While I played the field just like an anxious child
Oh when I heard one day you would come to me
Now here we are, baby you set me free

You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
Cuz you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are

How sweet it's been since you've been loving me
First we were friends and now we're family
But what the future holds, just don't know
But I'll be OK, long as there's you to hold

You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
Cuz you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are

Happiness with you, can't ever believe it could be true
But now that you're my girl
You know you make me a better world
You know I never knew love like this before
The way you hug me, and love me
You know I like it all over, oh

You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
Cuz you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are



15. Summer Rain

Storming outside, rain
She keeps me home
Quiet conversation makes me warm
So

Summer rain
Whispers me to sleep
And wakes me up again
Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name
To wash away the pain
My summer rain

In the middle of the night when I'm alone
I feel her kisses on me even when she's gone
Can't wait 'till she gets home

Summer rain
Whispers me to sleep
And wakes me up again
Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name
To wash away the pain
My summer rain

I don't mind if it rains forever
Let it rain, rain, let it rain
I said I don't mind if it rains forever
Let it rain, rain, let it rain

So go ahead and make it rain
You bring the sunshine back again
So go ahead and make it rain
Your tender touches wash away my rain

Summer rain
Whispers me to sleep
And wakes me up again
Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name
To wash away the pain
My summer rain

Summer rain
Whispers me to sleep
And wakes me up again
Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name
To wash away the pain
My summer rain

So go ahead and make it rain
You bring the sunshine back again
So go ahead and make it rain
Your tender touches wash away my rain

So go ahead and make it rain
You bring the sunshine back again
So go ahead and make it rain
Your tender touches wash away my rain

Summer rain
Whispers me to sleep
And wakes me up again
Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name
To wash away the pain
My summer rain

17. Special Lady

Baby, for every time that you felt love was taken for granted
And I didn't care
Well, these are just a few words
To let you know how I feel
Hey, yeah
(Let me be the first to let you know)

Oh, I had an awful dream
That you were needing someone else's love to take the place of mine
So I over came the distance
That challenged my persistence
I let my ego go and drowned my pride
And you ask why

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

One more thing I need to say
Is that I need you every day
It's not the same 'till you come back to me
Girl I've loved you from conception
So if you follow my direction
I'll lead you where you always need to be
Right next to me, oh

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

Let me be the first to let you know
I appreciate the things you do for me
When you're loving me at night
Let me be the first to let it show
I'd show the way to go
Cuz every waking move is oh so right

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
