3T Album

(Taj Jackson/ Taryll Jackson/ TJ Jackson)

Nothing can hold me back
I'm stronger than before
You tried to knock me out
But I'm coming back for more
You and your selfish ways
You tried to hold me down
You bet that I would lose
But it's you who's losing now

Cause I'm on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
There's no thrifin' partner on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour

They smile up in my face
Than stab me in the back
You didn't soul me out
You have to live with that
Turn on the TV screen
Flip on the radio
You can't get rid of me
My things unstoppable

Cause I take the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
You can't stop me on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour

Should've believed in me
Should've never pulled me out
Said I would never be
I don't need you and your doubts
Didn't wanna see
Didn't wanna see me reach my destiny

Should've never pulled me out
I don't need you and your doubts
Didn't wanna see me reach my destiny

Dance...

Detour
Detour
There's no thrifin' partner

Written by Taj Jackson, Taryll Jackson, and TJ Jackson

Verse 1
Girl, I love your sex appeal
And it's driving me wild baby
You got me hooked in everyway

So there's no use in fighting it babe
And you knpw you liked it too
Let's get together and do it again, come on girl

I love your sex appeal
When you shake it I can't take it no more
I love the way it feels
I gotta have it....your sex appeal

Verse 2
You turn me on, no doubt about it
Every time I rub against you babe
I lose control thinkin' about it
You make me wanna go and do some thangz
To you babe
Now I know I worked it well
So why you wanna fight it with me
When you know you want it too
So tell me what you wanna do
Come on baby

Hook
I love your sex appeal
When you shake it I can't take it no more

Just bring your body to me
I don't understand the reason
Why you're playing hard to get girl
Why don't you just give it up
To me babe

(Taj Jackson/ Taryll Jackson/ TJ Jackson)

Verse
After everything we've been through
You're gonna question me
After all that I've done for you
Tell me how
That you forget to stop and think
Or even talk about it with me
I can't believe you're accusing me
You let me down

Bridge

Didn't do it
I'm innocent
Baby you know this
Stop listening to what they say
Baby just focus
Because the truth it ain't hard to find
And you know that I wouldn't lie
But I'm telling you one more time
Baby I'm innocent

Chorus

Everyone's blaiming and accusing me
Girl I know what it looks like but it wasn't me
I swear
Girl you're gotta stay by my side
They're just trying to confuse your mind
If you want you can call me guilty
But I'm guilty of loving you
I'm just guilty of loving you
I'll be guilty of loving you
I'm just guilty of loving you
Guilty of loving you

What makes you think that I would go around and hurt you
You say you love me and you trust me so now show it baby

Chorus
Didn't do it

Guilty of loving you

Girl you gotta stay by my side
They're just trying to confuse your mind

Verse
Baby I’ve been being cool with you for quite a while
Trying to pick and choose my fights 'cause girl that is more my style
But lately I’ve been so confused
The way you acted just ain’t you
What am I supposed to do
You know that it’s not fair whenever
You say ,you’re giving me all that you can
When you say you wanna find another man
Well I’m not gonna be a fool
Telling you what I’m through with you
Your constantly breaking the rules
And I refuse to play your silly game

Chorus
It’s a shame that you’re never gonna change
I can see that you’ll always be the same
What you do ain’t what you say
You just sit, whine and complain
And it’s a shame,babe,that you’re never ever gonna change your ways

Verse
Girl you act like you are perfect
Well guess what,you’re not
Who was there for you when you were down,yet you forgot
The time and love I gave to you
What’s up with your attitude
Your middlename it should be ‘’rude’’
Still I don’t really care when you say you never wanna speak again
When you say I’m not a gentleman (ha!is that right)
Well baby I’ve got news for you
I’m packing up and leaving you
You ain’t gonna see my face again
'Cause I can’t take your stubberant ways

Chorus
It’s a shame that you’re never gonna change
I can see that you’ll always be the same
What you do ain’t what you say
You just sit, whine and complain
And it’s a shame babe that you’re never ever gonna change your ways

Hook
Even if we tried our best to work it out
You’d find something else in two weeks to complain about
You never smile
You just focus on the negative
And that’s not the way you ought to live
So you say you want another man
Well baby understand
He’s not gonna want your stubborn ways
And girl you know that it’s a shame

Chorus
It’s a shame that you’re never gonna change
I can see that you’ll always be the same
What you do ain’t what you say
You just sit, whine and complain
And it’s a shame babe that you’re never ever gonna change your ways

It’s a shame that you’re never gonna change
I can see that you’ll always be the same
What you do ain’t what you say
You just sit, whine and complain
And it’s a shame babe that you’re never ever gonna change your ways

(Lionel Richie)

I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck on you

Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

(I'm stuck on you)
I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck on you

Stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on my way (hey baby)
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
I'm mighty glad you stayed

Chorus
Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long
Stuck on you
Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long

Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I'm going
I've packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away
'Cause this time little darling
I'm coming home to stay (ooh)

I'm stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
I needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
I'm mighty glad you stayed

Chorus
Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long
Stuck on you
Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long

Stuck on you

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long
Stuck on you
Oh girl, I'm stuck on you
And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)
I've been a fool for way too long

Guess I'm on my way

Verse
Looking outside my window wondering what you're doing
Girl I'm thinkin' about you baby (I'm thinkin' about you baby)

Losing my strength as the days go by,
I'm trynna be strong but it hurts in side
I'm crazy about you baby (I'm crazy about you baby)
I don't know what else I could say (What I could say)
All I know is that I can't make it this way

Chorus

Living my life without you girl
There's an emptiness inside my world
And I don't know why
I have to live my life without you
I don't wanna carry on this way,

I don't wanna live life without you

Verse
You are the one I need,
you're all that I want you're my everything
(I can't live without you baby)

God knows how hard I've tried
(But I just can't say goodbye)
Oh I'm missing your love oh baby

I don't know just what I should do
(what I should do...)
All I know is that I can't live without you

Chorus

I don't wanna carry on this way,
I don't feel that I'm that strong.
I don't wanna live life without you...

Hook
You're the one that gives me strength without you
I feel weak
And by your side is where I belong,
I need you here with me
(And everyday I think about you)
even though you're far away and
no matter what I promise
I will love you till the end of our lives

Chorus
Living my life without you girl

(Taryll Jackson/ TJ Jackson)

I was afraid
That you would hurt me this way
Girl, I thought that you said
That it would be okay
But now you are gone (you've gone away)
And I'm feeling lonely again
Don't know how, why or when
You decided to leave me

What am I supposed to do?
There's no way I'll survive
I really need to turn to you
But you're not by my side

'Cause you just disappeared
Walked away from me
And left me all alone
Without a reason why
Didn't even say goodbye

You just disappeared
Walked away from me
And left me all alone
When you know I need you girl (ooh ooh)
You just disappeared from my life (hmm mmm)

I don't understand
Why it all had to end
You were like my best friend
I just can't believe it (just can't believe it girl)
Where did it go (where did it go?)
Was it something I said?
Or could it be it was just too much too soon?
Was I too in love with you?
What am I supposed to do?
There's no way I'll survive
No I need to talk to you
But you're not by my side

'Cause you just disappeared
Walked away from me
And left me all alone (left me all alone)
Without a reason why
You didn't even say goodbye

You just disappeared (you just...)
Walked away from me
And left me all alone
When you know I need you girl (ooh hoo ooh)
You just disappeared

Why did you think it's cool to play with my heart
I give my love and my life to you
So many things that we planned to do
I keep on wishing that one day you'll be back (one day you'll be back)
And rescue me from this hurt and this pain


You just disappeared
Walked away from me
And left me all alone (you left me all alone)
Without a reason why
Didn't even say goodbye

You just disappeared (you just disappeared)
Walked away from me
And left me all alone
When you know I need you girl (ooh hoo ooh)
You just disappeared from my life (you just...)

Disappeared
Walked away from me
And left me all alone (left me all alone)
Without a reason why
You didn't even say goodbye

You just disappeared (disappeared)
Walked away from me (oh girl)
And left me all alone
When you know I need you girl (ooh hoo ooh)

(Taj Jackson/ Taryll Jackson/ TJ Jackson)

Verse
First time I saw you
I knew inside
By the way you looked at me
I can make you mine
And it feels so good to be with a girl so you need
No matter what they say we've got all we need

Bridge
I promise I will love you for life
And make your dreams come true every night
Girl you don't have to worry for as long as I'm alive
I will be there for you, I'll take care of you
Just trust in me, in time you'll see I'm right

Chorus
They say we'll never make it
I say that it's is meant to be (I say that this is meant to be)
They say that we're mistaken
But I don't think it's plain to see
Tell me why why why why
They say our love is weak
Yet here we are growing strong
They say we'll never last
But I know we can prove them wrong

Verse
Baby baby baby won't you tell me why?
Why you listen to the words they say when you know they're lies?
They'll never understand what we have is true
So never let them get between me and you

Bridge
I promise I will love you for life
And make your dreams come true every night
Girl you don't have to worry for as long as I'm alive

Hook
As long as we both believe (if we believe)
You and me
Nothing else will break us apart
Girl, open your eyes (open up your eyes)
Can't you see they're trying to take our love away
Just stay with me, in time you'll see that I'm right

They can say there's no way we will make it
They can say what they want, that I'm taken
Right away they know they're mistaken
They can say what they want we'll still make it

Chorus

They say we'll never make it
(They can say there's no way we will make it)

(they can say what they want, that I'm taken)
But I don't think it's plain to see
(Tell me why why why why)
They say our love is weak

Yet here we are growing strong(here we are growing strong)
They say we'll never last

This pain that I feel goes deep
And I'm lonely,I can't eat,can't sleep
It hurts so much 'cause I thought you would be
