Al B. Sure! Album

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the bright red Benz
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibi's

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programmed to receive

Say lady remember that night in the garden?
(Let me love your body down)
I didn't touch you then
But I want to touch you now

[Chorus:]
Touch you, oh baby let me touch you
Tonight touch you, touch you right now
Tonight touch you yeah
Tonight touch you touch you right now

Can my love for you stand the test of time?
We'll see if it's just pleasures of the mind
(Pleasures of the mind)

Is it physical? I'm so young
So naive girl...These are new waters
And I hope they're not too deep for me!

[Chorus]

If I taste your love I hope you'll understand
(Hope you'll understand)
That my consciousness of life is more than just a man

In my secret place of love we can make so much love
And no one is the wiser but our hearts believe
...That when I touch

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You're more than just a flower and you'll grow into a tree
It's more than making love it's sweet harmony
And the way that I touch you, run my tongure down your spine
Ooh you'll never want another lover, you'll always be mine

And you'll treasure when I touch you, won't you?
Break it down (ooh ooh ooh)
Can you feel it? 'Cause I can yeah
Let us climb together so slow, so slow

[Chant:]
Won't you hold me, let me squeeze you
Don't you tease me (touch you) let me touch you baby
All night long (baby let me touch you)
Tonight touch you, touch you right now!

Won't you (tonight) hold me, let me squeeze you
Don't you tease me (touch you) let me touch you baby
All night long (baby let me touch you)
Tonight touch you, touch you right now!

AL B. SURE! LYRICS


"So Special"

Can you feel it baby?
I know that when I first saw you
I knew you were that special lady - yeah

[Chorus:]
All the love you give to me
Oh is so special
Special girl (Oh...Father)
Special girl

All the love you give to me
Oh is so special
In the morning is so special
Special girl (oh no, oh no) special girl

Ooh the way you touch my body I get a chill
Everytime I see your face I know
I know I love you still (...still will)

Hold my body, hold it tight and I just might
Take you places you've neer been before
All through the night

[Chorus]

When you're not here with me I can still taste your lips
Oh I can feel that heart beat right through me
With just one simple kiss

I'll never leave you
(See, we were friends before we were lovers)
Oh and we started out right
Now we've known each other for a little while
Let's make love all through the night

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Two hearts as one, your hand in mine
Ooh let's make love like the first time...oh!
Two hearts as one, your hand in mine
Keep your eyes on me, through as as climb...

Higher...oh Father
And higher...can you help me
And higher...understand this lady?
And higher - oh oh

Morning, noon & night hold my body, hold it tight!
Special girl, you're my special lady

Girl, can I take you higher?

[Chorus]



AL B. SURE! LYRICS

I want to know!

Ooh my baby can I hold you close to me?
Always thinking about you and I know you know that
That's why I can't get you off of my mind

Oh when I was a little boy (...little little boy)
I thought grown men were not supposed to cry
But now that I'm all man, all man now
I can't hold back the tears and I don't know why

[Chorus:]
I want to know ooh baby, baby, baby
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
It's all about you and me
I want to know, oh I want to know

Ooh sweet baby can I share sweet love with you?
I wnat to know is there a future?
That me what I've got to do oh?

Am I wasting my time? I want to know
Oh don't you play with my mind
Can I make love to you all night through
Please don't say no 'cause I do love you

[Chorus]

Ooh baby take away my insecurities and...

I'll always be strong for you
I hope nothing will go wrong with us two
Can I trust you when I'm gone away?
You can trust me each and every day
Every day (I want to know)
Break it down

Oh they say that curiosity killed the cat
And I know that satisfaction brought him back - hey!
Finders keeps, loser weeps
I want to know

(feat. Diana Ross)

Yeah hey I never thought I'd feel this way
(...Al don't play with me now...)
Please...can you take the hurt away? (...Al!)

My love for you is a bottomless well
For your tears and your fears
...And I do love you!

[Chorus:]
No matter what you do I'll love you (yeah) all the same
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I'll love you (oh) all the same, all the same

[Al:]
If we take our time I know you'll be mine
If we were to share our love would always be there
No matter what you do

If you decide to go then we will never know
But if...if you'll stay our love would find a way, a way
Oh no, I love you

[Chorus]

[Diana:]
Do you love me?
Let me know, don't keep it inside let it show!
If you and I were meant to be
In your dreams you'd see the things that I see
No matter what you do

If you don't want me (...I want you) Just tell me honestly
You know I can't take this pain
So please hold me now and whisper my name (...Diana!)
Hold me, oh I just want you to hold me (...like this?)
I love you!

[Chorus]

No matter what you do, no matter
For evermore
For evermore
For evermore

For evermore (I love you, I love you!)

Ooh baby, baby what we're doing, what we're doing
Who we fooling, fooling
Let's stop hiding, no more hiding
From the feelings that we feel inside, yeah
I love you!

I never thought I'd feel this way
(Na na na na na na na na)
I just want you to hold me
Alright you've got to stop playing with me now

If you're serious there no more fooling around (...okay)
No hiding (...alright we won't hide then)
Just show your feelings
(...you know I've always wanted to do that)

God bless the day that you came
How do I know you came for me?
(Yeah now matter, yeah no matter)
But you're gonna' feel it baby I'm young and strong
A love that lasts so long

I guess you don't understand why
I want to be with you
You fascinate me
Yeah, you know why?
It's all in shades of grey!

Your life is yours, my life is mine
It could last forever if we took the time out to
Show the love that we share
I'll relax you places he wouldn't dare!

It's all in shades how I really feel
I won't play, I won't ever ever mess around
Can't you see oh how much I really love you?
They try to say that you're too old for me
...but they don't understand

[Hook:]
It's all in shades of grey, yes I do love ya'
You've been touched before...
...But this means so much more
Yeah it's all in shades of grey
Yeah I know this love is real...
...From the way that I feel
Yes I do love ya'

When you look at me what do you see?
Is it a young boy in a man body?
My lady you'll never know if you turn me away
This young boy just might make your day!

It's all in shades how I could make you feel
I won't play, ooh let me hold you in my arms
Can't you see oh a love so rare and strong?
They try to say that you're too old for me
...but they don't understand

[Hook:]
It's all in shades of grey,
...Our love won't go away
It gets stronger by the day, just got to love ya'
It's all in shades of grey
...Yeah it's all in shades of grey
A man so young and strong it won't be long girl
Yes I do love ya', aah yeah

It feels so strong it won't be long
Let me lay you down
It's all in shades of grey
It's all in shades of grey
Oh they try to say

You know, they try to say that
You're too old for me
But they don't understand...
...They just don't
Yes I do love you

Forget about the things that they say
Let's forget the things they say
You won't regret tonight if you'll stay
There's no question in my mind

Understand! Alright can you feel it baby?
'Cause I work...'ya know what I'm saying?
Alright, let's go...!

[Hook:]
I never have no private times (I never)
I think I'm going to lose my mind for sure!
Ooh I never have no private times (I never)
I think I'm going to lose my mind for sure!

There was a time I'd never be alone
(He's always with someone)
Never have no private times
(Or never even peace of mind)
I just want to have someone (So please y'all)
Just forget the "Rescue Me" yeah...oh!

[Bridge:]
I never thought I would say this before
Understand I'm just chillin' by myself
(So please girl)
So please girl don't walk right through the door

[Hook]

I guess I've always grown up thinking
Everything should always go my way
(And anytime it didn't...)
I would have a game to play just to get my way
(And when he did) you'd see me smile for a mile

[Bridge x2]

[Hook]

Devante' get...nasty!
Aw I'm with this
Wild Kyle West please
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

I want your love
Can't get enough without no private times
I never have no private times

I need your love, I'll give you more
just give me private times
Just time oh!

I never...I think I'm, for sure!
I never...I think I'm, for sure!
Westerville...
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

[Bridge]

[Hook]

I never...I think I'm...I hope I'm for sure!
...It ain't hard

Why is it every time I see your face
It's only when I got gas in my Chevy
There's something strange about that
What's up (it's just a)

[CHORUS:]
Misunderstanding
I'm not so demanding
Never will you play with my heart
Misunderstanding
I don't know what you're planning
Never will you tear me apart

I know I must be dreaming
All these brand new friends
And I've never seen such
Clever ways to make amends

You never know who's scheming
Is she out for herself
Nowadays you've got to be protected
And it's not for health

Don't you know she drives me crazy
Does she like my walk
Or maybe all she knows
Is that money talks
(Money, money, money, money)

It's a shame the way it is
I really like her smile
I'd like to get to know her
Cause she drives me wild

(Can you tell me why) hey
You need diamonds, you need pearls
(You gotta buy 'em) oh, I've got to buy 'em

(Don't you know) don't you know
(To by my lady) to be my lady
(Drive my Mercedes) drive my Mercedes
(Start giving me that loving) hey

[CHORUS]

Can't you read between the lines
I never go for stealth
Should I try to sleep the lady
And misuse my wealth

I don't know
The times have changed
I can't sell out
I grew up doing right
And I won't throw it out

(Can you tell me why) hey
You need diamonds, you need pearls
(You gotta buy 'em) oh, I've got to buy 'em

(Don't you know) don't you know
(To by my lady) to be my lady

(Drive my Mercedes) drive my Mercedes
(Start giving me that loving) hey

[CHORUS]

Yo, Eddie, are you in here
Ha ha, yeah, I thought so

Sounding swell
You know what I'm saying
You know what time it is now, right
Nevelle, get funky

Misunderstanding, misunderstanding
Misunderstanding, that's all it is
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding
Misunderstanding, it's just a

[CHORUS]

Hey, hey, uh huh
Never will you play with my heart
Oh, uh huh (misunderstanding)

[CHORUS x2]

Uh huh, never will you
Play with my heart, oh

Aw yeah-now that ain't Al B. Sure!

[Hook:]
'Ya know I always see the lady
She drives me crazy all night
Except my baby doesn't know
I need to have that special lady
Channel J might break her heart
If I ever left my baby I'd never be the same
ya' know

Excuse me if I stop to stare at your body
So fly I don't understand
How could one woman be blessed with so much?
Are you single my lady? I'll be your man!

Girl don't make me promises you can't keep
Promises are conferred to fools
Come straight ahead you know the time
It's you on my mind (that one day you'd know)

[Hook]

Dinner for two, no one else me and you
Candlelight makes it right, romance all night
Please let your hair down, take off your heels
I'll massage you...how does it feel?

Girl don't make me waste my time
I won't stop 'til you're mine
I'm trying to see the night when we get it right

[Hook]

[Chubb:]
Now here comes the man, the man that had the plan
That in one year he would gain a million fans
And if you mapped out how he did
Accomplish and astonish and ground the hearts
of every kid
Yes I've created a realistic mirage in my garage
That one day Chubb would be large
Not large in the sense that I would be immense
But my financial status and my pockets
Would be the fattest around
With a booming sound which bounds
To give Al B. Sure! a royal crown
On his head or his noggin
I don't know how you be loggin' em
Or the simple sound inside your walkman
when jogging
Or toboggan down the hill with a few minutes
to kill
You flip in the tape and just barely escape
The tree in your way and just realize that
Hey you have to be very careful
of the tape that you play
If it's one of mine you have to sit
and relax and max
And prepare to hear funky tracks
So all of you succulent sexy skunk ske

(feat. Devante Swing)

Had Enuf?
Have you had enuf?
Have you had enuf?
Have you Had enuf?

[Hook:]
All I have to give you
Is my love until you've had enuf
All I have to give you
Is my love until you've had enuf

You've got me in this position
Don't make me feel all alone
All this pressure you're dealing
You think my heart's made of stone

If that's not enuf you don't know true love
You need to grow up
True love's hard to find so don't pass it by

[Hook]

Are you materialistic?
If so girl you know I can't hang
All this good love I'm giving
Hope girl you don't start to change,

You need to grow up
True love is so hard to find

[Hook]

Just for the moment, just for the moment
Don't ya know I tried so hard to please?
Just for the moment, just for the moment

The way we first me, it happened so fast
I thought too soon, but I hoped it would last
I didn't know you and yet we still made love
We rushed into things, but it was heaven above

[Bridge:]
I know you were not sincere, you were not sincere
I know you were not sincere, 'cause if you loved me
I know you'd be here

You'd be here with me

[Hook]

You know I love ya' so right don't throw it away
You've got to feel right if you want me to stay
I want somebody to love me for me
'Cause if you come back around I need to get up and leave

[Bridge]

You'd be here my dear

[Hook]

[Bridge]
