Anthony Hamilton Album

How did I make those mistakes, girl, in my life
I dont know
Everything I tried to do took another route
She rubbed out on me
You didnt have to make like a theif, girl, stole my life robbed me blind
Now this wound is getting deeper, see my blood as I cry
Where did it go wrong?
How did it go wrong?
Tell us what to do
Can I depend on you?
A punctured heart has no closure , torn for life
And its,
Its gonna take Gods hands to kill me, to get another try
oh no
I Had to fight strong like a soldier, soluted by faith and live in shame
oh no
how do I trust over and over I guess I gotta wait to see my fate
Where did it go wrong?
how did it go wrong?
Tell us what to do
Can I depend on you?
I hope I can depend on you
to come through
you shamed me once on my family name but still I want you
I must be a fool to wait around on you
but love has no aplogies
and no respect for me
Where did it go wrong?
How did it go wrong?
Tell us what to do
Can I depend on you?

No matter what the people say
I can't, I can't let go
No, no

Why must they try to tear down my house when they know it's made from love
And they could never stand in my way
We made a vow to love through it all
We are one
And no one has the right to tear my love down

No matter what the people say, I'm gonna love you anyway
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try til we get it right
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life, I can't let go
I can't, I can't let you go

How dare they say
That a love like ours wont last?
God made no mistakes
When He sheltered me with your heart
There's no safer place than to be in love
And here I will stand
And there ain't never
Ain't gonna never ever leave you alone

No matter what the people say I'm gonna love you anyway
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try til we get it right
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life, I can't let go
I can't, I can't let you go

All that I know now is to give you all of me
And no matter how long I take
And every part of me belongs to your love
Help me, help me

No matter what the people say, I'm gonngonna love you anyway
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try til we get it right
You are my life, I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life, I can't let go

Ain't nobody worryin' when the shots fly high and the siren starts to ring
Ain't nobody worryin' when the kids die young and the mothers are suffering
Ain't nobody prayin when they kneel down low all they doin is tiein their shoe
string
Ain't nobody worryin' no more no more

The homeless have no where to turn when their stomach starts to burn cause they
ain't got food to eat
How the children gonna learn when they gotta take turns cause they ain't got
books to read
Then a baby's turned to cry
Started gettin' high cause the job trains kinda slow

Cause ain't nobody worryin' no more no more
When the tears start to fall and you can't see your way
Carry on, c'mon judgement day
You don't have to mourn, help is on the way
Cause ain't nobody worryin' no more no more

These are our precious times
Ain't nobody worryin' when the kids die young and the mothers are suffering

You must be safe when you fall in love
Equal in the time you and I share together
Compromise, try and see eye to eye
Cause love's not blind, it knows when you care
Always kiss your lady, tell her that you love her, pray and make a baby, that
was made to love
Show her she's important, bring flowers for her, and build on the truth (build
on the truth)

Chorus:
If you take a little walk with me (walk with me) Girl I'll lead you to the truth
(girl, I'll lead you, lead you) And if you never give up on me (give up on me)
Girl, I'll share it all with you (Girl, I'll share it all) Show directions when
I've lost my way (lost my way) I'll be around to stay (I'll be around) to show
you the truth, truth

If you trust me, I'll make sure to build you up, through all your dreams
You and I will go together
Forget your past, the love you had that never last
God knew your heart and I was made for you
Girl, I won't mistreat you, never
Always make love to you
Go to church together, even get baptised too
We can read the bible (read the bible)
Play mom father
This marriage is true (ohh)

Chorus:
If you take a little walk with me (walk with me) Girl I'll lead you to the truth
(girl, I'll lead you, lead you) And if you never give up on me (give up on me)
Girl, I'll share it all with you (Girl, I'll share it all) Show directions when
I've lost my way (lost my way) I'll be around to stay (I'll be around) to show

(feat. Tarsha McMillian)

She had a habit tht she couldnt really stop, needed money so she had to hit the block, nobody knew it so
she steady had to play a role, went to church, but surely tearin up her soul, she'd repent sometimes,
then she'd press rewind, started over messin up her life, couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow,
started prayin to the lord, she was a

Preacher's Daughter
Sendin herself the tears [2x]

A preachers daughter so she had common sense, it's ashamed the way her life went, he's too busy though,
steady savin souls, to realize he lost one of his own, full of pain and stuck out in the dark, I even
heard, her father made his mark, now she's confused, now she's about to lose everything she thought she
ever owned

Preacher's Daughter
Sendin herself the tears [2x]

[Spoken Word] (its a cryin shame ohh) its a shame she couldnt make a way out now im sittin here twiddlin
my thumbs cause her life is gone and her kids are gone and she lost everything, and see her own father
was a preacher but he couldnt pray for her cause he was too busy prayin for everybody else and layin
hands on all the women in the congregation, but i guess thats what goes on when you walk right and
perfect and your whole house seems to be perfect, and behind closed doors, everybody suffers from some
kind of demon but nobody knows it, until it all unvails itself, your own daughter is out there locked out
in the dark she was a preachers daughter
[woman sings] help me lord, help me lord, help me lord, I need you right now, I need you daddy, could
you hear me prayin, don't you hear me prayin, (she's somebody's daughter) i need you, say i need you i
don't know what to do, I'm, dyin inside, (she's somebody's baby) I can't stop the tears from fallin, i
need you i need you i need you daddy, oh i need you

Verse 1:
Another day
chance to make another chance
A fragile place
running on empty
A smile so faint
barely even breaks the space
worlds own shoulders now

Dont be afraid
he who knows will make a way
His word alone is what has kept me
Born a son, king of eternal peace
lay your burdens down

Chous:
If you catch me dreaming
please dont wake me til I'm done
Just leave me sleeping
until the morning comes
Just pass me over
Make believe that I'm not there
just leave me be
until the savior comes

Verse 2:
Another night
makes her way to the morn
Sleep in peace, joy come early
A covered child, steps away victorious
Salvation holds joy for all of us

Cours 2x

musical interlude

[Verse 1]
Another day chance to make another chance, a fragile place runnin on empty, a smile so faint
can barely even break his face, world is on shoulders now, don't be afraid, he who knows will make a way,

[Chorus]
If you catch me dreamin please don't wake me til im done, just leave me sleeping until the
morning come, just pass me over, make believe that im not there just leave me be until the saviour comes

[Verse 2]
Another night makes a way to the morn , sleeping peace joy come early, a covered child steps
away victorious, salvation holds joy surrounds her

[Chorus 2x]

Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Til the saviour comes [repeat]

Someday I'll be walking along
And you'll step on the scene where I be
Hopefully you'll be touched by my charm
And the words of the song will lead the way
Bright eyed and thangs long hair earrings
Just a few things I like about you

Sista big bones (big bones)
Can a brother walk you home (can I walk right beside you)
Look like a plate of neckbones (look so good, look so good)
I like to keep your body warm (uh,huh)

Frankly i admire your style
How you go into work everyday
Confident in your walk and your stride
Got my note open wide, miss thang

I'd like to take you on a nice date
Shoot some riddles have some vittles with you
Make no mistake i'll be a gentleman
Take your coat open doors things I'll do

Sista big bones (big bones yeah)
Can a brother walk you home (can I walk right beside you
Look like a plate of neckbones (oh look so good, look so good)
I like to keep your body warm (I like to keep your body warm)

I like to dance with you
Hold hands and walk with you
Sing songs and stare at you
Miss Thang, Miss Thang

Sista big bones (big bones)
Can a brother walk you home (can I walk right beside you)
Look like a plate of neckbones (oh you look so good, look so good)
I like to keep your body warm (I'd like to keep your body warm)

Sista big bones (sistah big bones, yeah)

verse 1
I'd be in the hall of fame
The mere mentioning of your name
If they knew I love you, the way that I feel
And kissing couldn't be a shame, when you love someone
And falling in love, there's no blame When it's all said and done

[chorus]
And I never knew about this thang, yeah
Cause there were no clues, oh what a shame

Oh when you stop
And start falling in love
It changes your whole world
Turns your world upside down

verse 2
I must admit I stand accused
Of falling in love
Long before you said hello and I said I do
It was all new to me
An unfamiliar world
A beauty unknown to man
And a cure for the blues

How could I ever have what I felt
How could you ever say you never knew
All along it was there on my mind in my heart
It was the feeling, I was in love
You act as if you never knew my name
How could you pleasure putting me through so much pain
Like a child in the womb I needed you to give me love
I miss that feeling of being loved.
[Chorus]:
How could I ever love again
How could I start to love again
After you broke me down it's hard to trust that feeling to fall in love again.

A man don't usually fall no more than twice
And if he does you never know cuz he wont say
For the fear of being fooled taken twice by the heart is in his nature
To be afraid, He starts to wonder if it's really right
To let his past take control of his life
Maybe I'll run into hope someone theres right for me
And she'll love freely
And fall in love again.

[Chorus]

Love
You know what they say about a man
It's hard for him to fall in love, once hurt he'll never give in
It's hard for him to trust
Found out it was hard to cope when your love broke down on me
It's hard for me to trust again
Love.

It's about finding a new experience
With someone you'd never thought you'd meet
Who totally turns your life around completely
Helping you get a job and keeping you off the street
Church on Sunday morning, eventually I'm saving money
Sending my life in a new direction
Now I'm friends with my old man again
Standing here wearing this wedding band
I can say I know love because of you see I know love

I know what love's all about
And you showed me love
I know what love's all about
Ohhhhh

I used to think that love was just a weekend thang
The way you make me feel, sharing the moment of emptiness
Because you see that wasn't nothing because the moment she left I forgot about
her
Until you came in and you showed what it really felt to be loved, and kissed and
held
And prayed for, and wanted, and nurtured and guided and ohhhhh to be understood

I know what love's all about
You showed me love now I knowwwww
I know what love's all about
See I don't have to worry about a thang now
Cause I know real love
