1. Stole

He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one
With good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
But good don't get attention
One kid with a promise
The brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It's not enough, no
Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa

He's not invisible anymore
With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over primetime news

Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints
At Manns Chinese Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know

No no no no oh

They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcomed
He showed up the parties
We was hanging in
Some guys puttin' him down
Bullying him round round
Now I wish I woulda talked to him
Gave him the time of day
Not turn away
If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far
He might have stayed at home
Playing angry chords on his guitar

He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name

Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
At Manns Chinese Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star (She coulda been a movie star, oh)
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know, oh)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)
He had a try out with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)
Now we're never gonna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole)
Oh now we'll never know

Now we'll never never never know
Mmm now we'll never never never never know
Stole (Stole)
Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Mary's got the same size hands (Same size hands)
As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)
She put her fingers in the imprints
At Manns Chinese Theater Show (She was gonna be a star)
She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)
Never got the chance to go that far (Never got the chance)
Her life was stole (Stole, stole)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know, no)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (He had game, oh)
He had a try out with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him slam (Never see him)
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole, oh)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know)

Oh no no no
Yeah their lives were stole

3. Haven't Told You

Looking in my eyes
What do you see
Only me
Got nothing to hide
See can you find
What's on my mind
This happens so fast not a part of my plan
So I'm leaving my heart in your hand

[Chorus]
Haven't told you just how much I love you
Only if I'm dreaming I show my feelings
Haven't told you just how much I love you
Time for the revealing
And I will give you something too
A love from me to you
Oh yeah oh

Looking in my eyes
You know me so well
Can't you tell that I
Way in too deep
I'm going down
So catch me now
It happens so fast not a part of my plan
Now I'm leaving my heart in your hand

[Chorus]

I feel you every day
I breathe you every single moment from the start
I see you cause I live
I feel you oh
Your moving soul
No letting go
You smile at me
My heart is yours to keep

[Chorus]



4. Can't Nobody

[verse1:]
trying to let you know what it's all about
i know you wanna leave
so many little games silly people play
don't act foolishly
i'm so real, so soft to touch
my love my kiss so sweet, glorious
the look on your face
anyone can see
no one does it like me

[chorus]
oh no, oh no can't nobody
do it like me, uh uh oh no
can't nobody do it like me [repeat]
uh uh and get right down to it like me
uh uh, na na na na na na na na

[verse2:]
i knew you'd be the one to come out
your worth, i need you please to relax
i know i messed up but if you leave me now
ain't no coming back, no more no me no you
no us no kiss no hugs , tell the truth
see i'm the only one that can love you
babe, you're not that big a fool

[chorus:]
oh no, oh no can't nobody
do it like me, uh uh oh no
can't nobody do it like me [repeat]
uh uh and get right down to it like me
uh uh, na na na na na na na na

can't nobody but me
do the things that i do
to you the things that i do
to you [repeat]



5. Love/Hate

[verse1:]
i am so in love
i am so in hate
i just can't comprehend it
you get me so high
you get me so low
i can't show what i'm feelin
never was the type
to let someone like
you get under my skin
tried like hell
but you don't care for real
you stepped on my feelings

[chorus]
see i love to love you boy
and i love to hate you
but i got to let you know
i'm a have to let you go

[verse2:]
love to feel the love
love to heal from pain
is there really a difference
wonder who is right
wonder who is wrong
i'm just feelin some tension
you can't compromise
we can't coincide
we should really be chillin
cause i've wasted so much time
love is on the line
i've made my decision

[bridge:]
it's useless to try and work things out
don't need all of the stress
you're not worth it
i'm tired of all the ups and downs
so goodbye i'm leaving
made up my mind

[chorus:]
see i love to love you boy
and i love to hate you
but i got to let you know
i'm a have to let you go



6. Simply Deep
(feat. Solange Knowles)

[Verse 1]
Is anybody home in there?
I unexpectedly dropped by your heart
I simply wanted you to hear
The cry of my love's never ending start
Impossibly escaping you
And circumstances never stand a chance
So intrigued by the things you do

[Chorus]
Through my eyes I envisioned you
Your love protects my every move
My life swings to your heart beats
My everlasting love is simply deep

[Verse 2]
In seconds it's been timeless
When I'm with you, time seems to take a rest
No routines ever lay with us
'Cause everything is new, when you're in love
So delighted that you feel the same
You say with me you're never liable to pain
Never love another again

[Chorus]
Through my eyes I envisioned you
Your love protects my every move
My life swings to your heart beats
My everlasting love is simply deep

As I lay you in the midst of all gone in creation
As I hold, can only think of you
And you really are so wrong every mobile run
And I never sleep, without an endless dream
Our love is so simple deep
Between you and me!

[Repeat chorus 3X]

So simply deep, oohh-ooo



7. Strange Places

[Verse1:]
Clover walked in
In his baggy jeans and his Prada shoes
He had a nice shirt, nice scent, nice ice
But he's not the one--the one I'd choose
He was the type I never had
Country and thug with lots of class
Something inside me made me hesitate
So I made him wait

Didn't think he was the one to treat me right
Until he found the love I tried to hide
He said

[CHORUS]
LOVE LIVES IN STRANGE PLACES
IT'S THE OBVIOUS THAT NEVER SHOWS
IT JUST MIGHT FIND YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
UNTIL YOU JUST LET GO

[Verse2:]
Now my baby sister's got a two way
And a cell phone
She's always happy when she gets a page
But that's not love, girl, that's not a home
Real love isn't digital, isn't physical
It's the one that can reach inside
And you don't know why, but it makes you whole

So if you want the one who reaches deep
Let him see the you that's underneath

[CHORUS:]
LOVE LIVES IN STRANGE PLACES
IT'S THE OBVIOUS THAT NEVER SHOWS
IT JUST MIGHT FIND YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
UNTIL YOU JUST LET GO

[Bridge:]
It's in the corners of the sky
In the shadows of your mind
The unexpected suddenly
Like the child of destiny
No, you can't control the way
So just have faith

[CHORUS:]
LOVE LIVES IN STRANGE PLACES
IT'S THE OBVIOUS THAT NEVER SHOWS
IT JUST MIGHT FIND YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
UNTIL YOU JUST LET GO



8. Obsession

i wanna be
the everything you need
the every sight you see
the closest thing to epidemic
slightly your disease
a love without a cure
no uncertainties for sure
the closest thing to alcohol
that calls you back for more

your sensual tough
it's all too much
unbearing love
my obsession
i speak your tone
dance to your song
of my confession
of my obsession

it's fearful when i
replay over life
no existing night
feels like this one
i feel your presence
underrates romance
no fear, you're my one, slight obsession

you stand beside
and everything resides
every surrounding fights
to fall into the moment, take their seats into the night
an unexperienced heart
is begging & it starts
to collect all the elements of love
that's sure to draw

have you read the surgeon's general
tells me it's not healthy still i know
maybe i'll be the one to teach a lesson baby
but the first step is to admit my obsession baby

have you seen the way i look at you
my eyes glare along with fireflies in the night
your response is only a test and
obviously i failed
cause you're my obsession



9. Heaven

I wanna love together
Kiss and touching feels better
Now that I have, have you
I couldn't ask for nothing more like
Just a breeze in summer days
Autumn above the sun not to rain
You've always seemed too proud to me with your love
If you're far away
I want you near my selfish shade
No words I saw some city can
It takes the joy to stop my tears
I'm so in love

I have found those treasure in this ocean of pleasure
And now that I have, have you
I won't search for anything more
Oh love
What had been done to me
This crazy feeling I can't describe
It feels like love it must be love it must be love
Feels like snowcraze in mountain tops
When I see your eyes from afar
All I can do is run with the primes
Love is all I got
I feel so at home
Live alone

Oh love
Love, when I'm in love
It feels like I'm melting into you
You keep me so warm
Ooh I feel so high above
Got a glimpse of heaven in your eyes
It's sure it'd be love
Your love so good

Baby we grow together
This is the joy it never ends
There's nothing I'd rather see
Then the love in your eyes' on me
Cause it's feeling so surreal
It touch the places you didn't feel
I used to open now I feel trust in love
I'm a lady in love of joy
You're the disconnection of dirty boy
I were sent to tell you feel the voice
I'm so in love
Love, oh my love
You keep me so warm
It's like I'm melting into you
Melting, I'm melting
You keep me so good
Oh I feel so high above
I'd feel so high
Got a glimpse of heaven in your eyes
It's sure it'd be love
Your love so good
Love, love, oh oh
It's like I'm melting into you
I'm melting



10. Past 12

i met this guy
he was always on the floor
but he's dancing by himself
i don't know why
cuz he's lookin' hot to death
so i
began to think
if i go out on the floor
there's a chance he'll notice me
and when he did
it was poppin' sweet

we can get out on the floor
but take it slow
baby, won't you keep it right there
yeah, we can take it there
boy i don't really care
it's all good with me

we can bounce up in the club
or kick it in ya truck
long as it's sittin on doves, it's love
cuz we ain't gotta go no where
let's get it crunk tonight

i must admit
that i'm not so bold when it
comes to other guys
i ain't goin trip
first for everything
and i hope that this
is a thing i won't regret
when morning comes
when the party ends
is it gonna be you and me?

boy if the fleeling's right
we can rock all night for sure
don't you know that
boy, when the clock strikes 2
i'm gonna be with you for sure

it's past 12 o'clock
and i'm trying to put it on lock
makin' sure the party don't stop
bottles stay popped
think i'm feelin' what you got (all night)

it's past 12 o'clock
and i'm trying to keep it on lock
won't you come and dance with me
then we'll see
if you're gonna be with me


no coincidence
two distant hearts on a map both goin no where fast
both late for an appointment, they end up together in a city cab
they share a fare and some friendly conversation
that's no coincidence, that's love

she scrambles through her purse
he rushed in through the front
lookin for change, there's a joke box in the back of the restaurant
they start to dance til this day they're still dancing
that's no coincidence that's love

it's amazing, it's perfection
how each little bitty star makes up one big constellation of people
getting connected
it's truly heaven sent, it's evident
that love is no coincidence

he snapped a photograph
she took a sonogram
she didn't tell him he shipped off to war in a foreign land
left home a soldier but came back a father
that's no coincidence that's love

somebody crashed her car
he's got a failing heart
one thing can save them an operation
neither can afford
but through visitation, two families get acquainted
that's no coincidence that's love

how we intertwine is divine (extraordinary)
open your eyes and you'll find (it's involuntary)
seasons have reasons for changing (so that everybody)
can find love, lose love, find love again



11. Everytime You Walk Out That Door

Oh oh yeah yeah
The table set for dinner only just for once
Serving at your empty chair
Remembering our love the crazy lives we shared
Last time you were sitting there

I can hear your voice still calling out my name
It's now your symptom upon the pillow next to me
Imagining your kisses when I close my eyes
They don't replace you holding me

A house is not a home when I'm alone here
Summer turns to winter when you're gone
And all I see are clouds outside my window
Everytime you walk out the door

And in the morning as I slowly wash my face
Feel you
Sneaking upon me
Go to my reflection staring tells me everything I'm alone
You're not really there

I can hear your voice still calling out my name
It's now your symptom upon the pillow next to me
Imagining your kisses when I close my eyes
They don't replace you holding me

A house is not a home when I'm alone here
Summer turns to winter when you're gone
And all I see are clouds outside my window
Everytime you walk out the door

I'm not saying that I can't just live without you
But I'm fine so much better when you're here
You turn my darkness to light
And you make everything all right by my side

A house is not a home when I'm alone here
Summer turns to winter when you're gone
And all I see are clouds outside my window
Everytime you walk out the door



12. Train On A Track

[verse1:]
i wonder
if he knows i've been watching him
and i wonder
if he knows i can feel him
and i wonder
in my dreams when i'm sleeping, and i'm keeping him close to me
i'm thinking
he's the thunder, i'm the lightning
and i'm thinking
maybe we can come together
and i'm thinking
we can bring the rain with a lovely breeze with such harmony

[chorus]
like a train on a track like spokes inside a wheel
involuntary motion like rolling down hill
and there's no way to stop it
it's a natural thing like sunrise and dusk
snowflakes, waterfalls same thing like us
and there's no way to stop it
once you fall in love

[verse2:]
i'm glowing
and overflow of happy laughter
i'm growing
closer to you more than ever
i'm blowing
daffodils and kisses, baby breaths, and roses gently
touching noses
i'm sailing
without a destination
i'm sailing
explore uncharted places
i'm exhaling
no more lonely seasons, i'm underwater breathing
drowning in the sea of love

[chorus:]
like a train on a track like spokes inside a wheel
involuntary motion like rolling down hill
and there's no way to stop it
it's a natural thing like sunrise and dusk
snowflakes, waterfalls same thing like us
and there's no way to stop it
once you fall in love

[bridge:]
i heard a song bird, a seed came through the earth
strangers holding hands, a crowd cheering in the stands
i've already seen all the evidence
it's obvious love's in the air again
saw dark clouds blow, chased by rainbows
saw two roses bloom just like me and you
caught up in the magic i can't pretend
it's obvious love's in the air again

there's no way to stop it, no way
boy you and i
are luv in love you see
that you and i , are luv in love
there's no way to stop it, no way
boy you and i
are luv in love you see
that you and i , are luv in love



13. Beyond Imagination

[verse1:]
you speak only what you hear
easily influential
so secluded no one's near
this home's full of rituals
your mother's goin on strike
tired of preaching sermons and
father's vacation tonight
is somewhat permanent

[chorus]
i gotta go
to somewhere beyond imaginations flow
hear my tone
it says i am alone

[verse2:]
your life seems dysfunctional
it only acts what you show
you're your own psychiatrist
a slight minute from quitting
showing signs of depression
life's falling over and crashing
your heat burns through life lava
and rapes your problem solver, now go

[chorus:]
i gotta go
to somewhere beyond imaginations flow
hear my tone
it says i am alone

[bridge:]
a hideout
manifest stability
let go of doubt
getaway
no flaws will inject or exit my
present place
i gotta burn
experience only allows what i will learn
hear my tone
it says i am alone, yeah.....

[vamp]
na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na

i hear your tone
and you're so not alone
you're so not alone



14. Make U Wanna Stay
(feat. Joe Budden)

[Verse I:]

It's been a minute
We been talking on the phone
Hit me on my two way turning me on
And I'm a bout to lose my mind
Say you wanna meet me
Baby it's been way too long
Time to quit playing
Let's get it on
I'm a show you, I'm for-real, for-real

[Pre Chorus:]

I'm gonna make you want me
I'm gonna make you come see me, never gonna want no-one but me
I'm gonna make you come see me, never gonna want no-one but me
I'm gonna make you mine

[Chorus:]

Make you wanna stay baby, I'm gonna
Make you wanna stay baby, I'm gonna
Make you wanna stay baby
Make you, Make you

[Verse II]

Baby we been waitin, But I ain't gonna wait no more
Boy cuz what cha feel you can't ignore
(Baby you can't ignore)
Don't even deny it
We wasted too much time
I'm a bout to make you see
I'm a bout to make you mine
