2. Alone In This World

It's over now, I can't compete
I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet
So turned around and incomplete
I'm not that happy woman that I used to be

Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)

I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go

I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

It's over now, we can't go on
In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong
It's no surprise we both belong
Because of you my heart's singing us that song

Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)

I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go

I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

I can't believe our love is over now
Where did love go
And why did I believe that we would be together forever
Now it's all a memory

I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go

I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go

I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone



3. You Gets No Love
(feat. P.Diddy & Loon)

What

I know it's not the ghetto
I know it's not the ghetto
I know it's not the ghetto
I said I know it's not the ghetto

[Rap]

You betta check yourself, respect yourself
You betta go for self
Because I flow for self (You gets no love from me)

[Verse 1]

I tell you why there's no love
Simply you're not cool enough
For what we had between us
Don't you know you lost my trust

[Bridge]

People ask me where you been
And I tell them were just friends
Cause it's so obvious the that it's
never gonna work for us
Oh no

[Chorus]

Played with my emotions, you gets no devotion (You gets no love)
You can't even be my friend, and you gets no love again (You gets no love)
Whatever you do, it will come back to you (You gets no love from me)

[Verse 2]

Tell you why we can't hook up
Cause I had about enough
Hearing all the lies you tell
Boy I thought I knew you well

[Bridge # 2]

People think that you're my man
They don't even understand
Just because i let you get some that don't make you the one
We ain't even in love
You know that you played

[Chorus]

Play with my emotions, you gets no devotion (You gets no love)
You can't get no love from me
You can't even be my friend, and you gets no love again (You gets no love)

[Rap # 2]
You better
Rock my shit
Don't knock my shit
Because I got the shit
To make you cop my shit (you gets no love)

You better
Rock my shit
Don't knock my shit
Because I got the shit
To make you cop my shit (you gets no love)

I'm the
Diva with clout
Everybody rap about
Check it out
Rhymes I buss 'em,
Problems with my life
Don't discuss 'em

[Bridge 3]
Boy we had a cool relationship
But you couldn't handle it

Played with my emotions, you gets no devotion (You gets no love)
You can't even be my friend, and you gets no love again (You gets no love)
Whatever you do, it will come back to you (You gets no love from me)

Played with my emotions, you gets no devotion (You gets no love)
You can't even be my friend, and you gets no love again (You gets no love)
Whatever you do, it will come back to you (You gets no love from me)



4. Burnin' Up
(feat. Loon)

Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!

Sometimes you can be in love and having fun
And still not know what's goin on
Or on the other hand you separate, thinking that the feelin's gone
Feels like forever when we're together
I knew that we are destinied
So here's the last chance for the last dance
For us to bring back the dream

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got somethin' for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

[Rap:]

In the midnite
Wait a minute
I can be in a lonely place
Then along you come with the sweetest thing to say
And put the sun in my day

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got somethin' for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got somethin' for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!



5. I Love You

My heart belongs to you
So what could I do
To make you feel I'm down with
You see me hangin around
But you don't know how you make me feel for you, and

Each and every day, I try to make some sense of this
What you mean to me, I know it could be serious
Each and every nite, I dream about just holding you
Loving you like this, what is a girl supposed to do

I love you
I want you
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you
I need you
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

First time I saw your face
My heart just erased
All the guys I knew before
You walked into my life
I was the type to never want for nothing

Each and every day, I try to make some sense of this
What you mean to me, I know it could be serious
Each and every nite, I dream about just holding you
Loving you like this, what is a girl supposed to do

I love you
I want you
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you
I need you
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

I love you, I want you, I need you in my life
Can't you see what you mean to me
Baby come hold me tight
I miss you, wanna kiss you
Everytime I see your face
Baby I'll be waiting for you
Each and everyday

I love you
I want you
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you
I need you
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

You're the only one for me
And I know it's meant to be
What can I do to make you see
My love will carry on
So listen to my heart and know
You'll find out where my love will go
The future lies between us boy
Oh babe I love you so

I love you
I want you
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you
I need you
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

I love you
I want you
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you
I need you
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me



6. Everything (Interlude)

I was lost
But now
I found the greatest
Love
That saved
Me from
The fall
So glad you
Came around
To see
What's best for you is me
Boy you make me feel so right

Your love gives me the will
To guide you home
Your my everything
Nothings gonna stop us now
Baby your my everything



7. Back To Love

You remind me of
Of a love I once knew before
I was so open for love
So in love with no experience
But I like this feeling
You're really bringing back the memories
Of someone I once knew
I feel you bring it all back to me

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away

It was hard to see
All the wrong my last love did to me
I was just a fool in love
That's not how it was supposed to be
But I like this feeling
And I don't want you to remind me of
Of someone I once knew
Just keep on bringing me back to love

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away

You make me feel so good
You treat me like I'm special baby
So take me back to love
Cause that is where I wanna be
Back to love

It's so good it's plain to see
The way that you keep loving me
Bringing back the memories
Of a love that used to be

It's so good it's plain to see
The way that you keep loving me
Bringing back the memories
Of a love that used to be

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away

Bring me back to love
Cause real love is what I'm thinking of
It would be so nice if we could run away
Run away



8. Faithful (Interlude)

Faithful to the end
She's a lover and a friend
Faithful to the end
And with this I know you can win, just stay faithful
Faithful till the end

Faithful to the end
Listen ya'll she's a mother and a wife, she is everything, faithful
Faithful to the end
Even when things go wrong and you got nobody else to call
You call on good ol' faithful
Faithful to the end
Cause I know you gotta stay faithful

Faithful to the end
She's the one that will cook and clean, wash your clothes
So you always gotta stay faithful
Faithful to the end

Ya'll just take it on home, I can't even sing no more
Faithful to the end
Yeah, I like that



9. Do Your Time

It's been a long time
And I hope you're doing fine
I just wanted to write you a letter
Saying hi, and explaining why
Why you mean so much to me
Well the reason is plain you see
You were always there when I needed you
And I wanted to let you know

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

I always did believe
That our love would be
Stronger than the bars you were behind
And my heart always seem to find
Find a reason to hold on
And the purpose to be strong
Baby can't you see that I need you
And I know that you need me too

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

And I'm writing with sincerity
Just to make you understand what you mean to me
And I can't wait till you come home
But I need you to be strong
Baby hold on

[Ad libs:]
Cause I'm down for you
You know I'm gonna do, I'll do your time for you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you

No matter what I gotta do



10. Don't Cry

Take just one look around me
Tell me what you see
Your reflection and the brokenhearted memory
I tried so hard to do the best I could
You lied and now we got to get this understood

Don't cry, don't call me
I don't want you around me
Who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me

You should have took advantage
Of every waking moment
But you thought that you had time to wase
And you were so dead wrong
I tried so hard to do the best I could
You lied and now we go to get this understood

Don't cry, don't call me
I don't want you around me
Who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me

I don't wanna see your tears
I don't wanna hear your voice
Don't you know you made the choice
Boy you did me so wrong

Don't cry, don't call me
I don't want you around me
Who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me

Don't cry, don't call me
I don't want you around me
Who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me

Take just one look around me
Tell me what you see
Your reflection and a brokenhearted memory

Don't cry, don't call me
I don't want you around me
Who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me

[Ad libs]



11. Faithfully

Nothing could compare to your love
I wake up feeling good everyday
I used to have a problem with love
Until you re-directed my way

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Some say love is just a word
But I know what it really means
A future and stability is what
That is what you've given to me

Even though we've had many arguments
This is stronger than any love has ever been
Baby through it all you've been there for me
And I love you just because you love faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Don't ever change
I just want you the same
If you take your love away
I don't ever wanna here about you not being in my life
Because you love me so faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully

Faithfully
You love me
You're just what I need
Please don't change
Everyone can see that you love me faithfully



12. Brand New Man

She never had respect for me
She knew I had a family
But I blame it all on you
She used to be a friend to me
And now I can't stand to see
Her when she comes around
See both of ya'll let me down
And now it's all over town
How could you do me that way?

Now that I got me a brand new man
You can't even understand
She's been wondering where we stand
I ain't got time you can have that man
Now that I got me a brand new home
I don't have to be alone
Got somebody who understands
I got a brand new man

See everything was cool with us
But you took advantage of my trust
Your crossed my faith in you, yes you did
He used to belong to me, how silly could you both be
I knew it all the time
I never thought you would do those things you did
Are you even concerned what I told the kids
(What I told the kids?because I cried yes I cried baby)
Now it don't matter cause baby I'm over you
Can't forgive you for the stress you put me through
But what goes around, comes right back around again

Now that I got me a brand new man
You can't even understand
She's been wondering where we stand
I ain't got time you can have that man
Now that I got me a brand new home
I don't have to be alone
Got somebody who understands
I got a brand new man

[Bridge repeat:]
If you ever been hurt keep your head up
If you been hurt, keep your head up, you'll find
If you ever been hurt keep your head up
If you been hurt keep your head up, head up

[Ad libs]



14. Where We Stand

[Intro - Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving too fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)

[Faith]
Today you said some things to me
That made it plain for me to see
And now I do believe
That there's a chance for you and me
Elated I would be
If it became reality
I'll put away my fears
Cause only fait brought us here

[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When i just meet you the other day
Why do believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)

[Faith]
It's just a few days but I'm open wide
Or maybe I should take my time
I think where moving fast but I want you bad
My mind is telling me one thing
But my body says another
I wanna be your lover

[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving to fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)

[Faith]
It's hard to figure out
In the back of my mind there's so much doubt
Why do I look for clues
When there's no reason to question you
It's only natural
I Just gotta wait and see
Will we ever be
Will we ever be

[Chorus]
Tell me if it's too soon to love
When i just met you the other day
Could it be that I'm scared to take a chance
Deep inside I don't know where we stand

Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)



15. Heaven Only Knows

Who knows what tomorrow brings
And heaven only knows what's on the other side of the rainbow
All I know is what the seasons bring
And even with the seasons come uncertainty

[Chorus]
Who knows
Do you know
I don't know
Heaven only knows what the future holds
Heaven only knows what's over the rainbow
Just imagine all the possibilities
Heaven only knows what the future holds

[Verse 2:]
God gave me a conscious heart
And my responsibility is to teach my people
Tryin to make them understand
Your will, your perfect plan

[Chorus x2]
If we come together we can change it
Take it one day at a time
Live your life and you'll be find

[Bridge:]
We can't live for tomorrow
So make the best out of today
We gotta keep the faith
If we just keep that faith through the night
We'll be alright

[Chorus x3]
If we come together we can change it
Take it one day at a time
Live your life and you'll be find
Can you imagine all the possibilities



16. Love Can't Hide

Tears on my pillow keep falling
And I'm crying over you, crying over you
How long will the time last before my heart
Is blessed to see the day I'm back with you, the day I'm back with you
See I'm yearning for you baby, constantly I'm reminscing
Always think bout the things we used to do
And I'm singing baby

[Chorus: x2]
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Love can't hide
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
The pain inside

Am I wrong for love that's been lost and found
Looking for someone to make the claim, oh tell me
Why am I an example of heart turned cold
Looking for someone to take the blame, won't nobody take it for me baby
Reflections of your silhouette at the corners of my bed
I try to close my eyes and go to sleep, still I see you in my dream

[Chorus x2]
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Love can't hide
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
The pain inside
[ad libs]

[Bridge:]
Are my dreams of love a mirage of paradise
As the weeks turn to months
And so many sleepless nights
For the day I pray my tears will wipe away
You'll hold me in your loving arms always

[Chorus x2]
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Love can't hide
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
The pain inside
[ad libs]

[Bridge:]
Are my dreams of love a mirage of paradise
As the weeks turn to months
And so many sleepless nights
For the day I pray my tears will wipe away
You'll hold me in your loving arms always

[Chorus x4]
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Love can't hide
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
Bop ba da ba da
The pain inside
[ad libs]



17. Can't Believe
(feat. Carl Thomas)

[Carl:]
I always dreamed that everything would be okay with me and you,
I was wrong
When I looked into your eyes I didn't see all the things I used to, what's
going on
[Faith:]
You gave me reasons to believe that we were always meant to be
but now I see
You were wrong
You can't keep running back to me with all those baby baby pleases no more
no more

[Chorus]
Never imagined you would be a faded picture I'm emotional (I'm emotional)
It's so believing your deceiving it's official I'm emotional, (I'm emotional)

I can't forget last night I saw you in the corner wrapped up tight
You were warm ooh
Slow dancing on the floor while I was watching from the door so hurt
There you were
You gave me reasons to believe that we were always meant to be
but now I see
You were wrong
You can't keep running back to me with all those baby baby pleases no more
no more

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You had your chance
But you threw it all away
Thought you had my love always (oh baby)
I don't understand (I just don't understand)
How you think that we could stay
In total unhappiness

[Chorus]



18. Love Song (Interlude)

This is a love song
This is a love love song
This is love love song
And I'm singing it for you
You baby
That's what it is
A love la la love song
That's what it is
Nothing but a simple little love song
And I want to sing it for you baby (singing it for you)
Singing it for you
Singing a love song
Singing a love song
Singing a love song
Love song
