Babyface Album

written by Babyface (1993)

I believe that a woman
Is the most precious thing on earth
And I'll do anything
And I do mean anything
To stop my baby
From ever being hurt

Well it might seem kinda crazy to ya
Somewhat outta style

I'm just a bit old-fashioned
And I can't help
Livin' that way
I'm just a bit old-fashioned
And I can't help
Livin' that way

I'll go and work
My fingers to the bone
And I'll work overtime
So she can have a home
And I'll do anything
And I do mean anything
Don't want my baby
To hurt for a thing

Well that might sound kinda crazy to ya
Somewhat outta style

HOOK

Oh baby
That's the only way that I'll ever be
Forever dedicated to thee
One girl is all I ever will need
Loving you forever indeed
My whole damn life is you
And I would die for you
I might sound crazy
But the only thing important is you
I love you

HOOK

written by Babyface, Daryl Simmons (1993)

We fell in love
And who could blame us
The word was we were just beside ourselves
And everybody said it wouldn't last
Now they wonder
Why we didn't last

We fell in love
It seemed so righteous
Couldn't compare our love to no one else
And everybody thought we could not win
It's no wonder
Love came to an end

And our feelings
Just aren't feelings anymore
They're just words that come from whispers
From people we don't know
And our feelings
Just aren't feelings anymore
They're just words without emotion
From people who don't know

We fell apart
The bond was broken
Should've kept our thoughts between ourselves
And though they say they cared
They didn't help
Makes me wonder
Should we blame ourselves

So here we are
Broken hearted
What in the world have we done to ourselves
When everybody said to let it end
It makes me wonder
We can't let them win

HOOK

If we'd only just try we could make it by
And maybe in time we could make it right
If we only had done what we shoulda done
We'd both be here still making love
I wanna know that, that we can go back
Back to the times when the lovin' was all that
When no one could come between our love

HOOK

written by Babyface, Daryl Simmons (1993)

Here we go round and round and round
And back and forth you know
Everybody goes through it sometime
And that's just the way it flows
So we go up and down and up
And in and out the door
Even thought you know you've been through it before

For every argument that we've experienced
It's nice to know that you've remained composed
And I wanna thank you for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This for the cool in you

Cool in you, cool in
This for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
This for you cool in you
Cool in you, cool in
This for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

Looking on back at all the changes
That I put you through
Any other girl in your position
Sho-nuff would've been through
Thinkin' about how you made it easy
Always there for me
Never once did you turn your back and leave

For every tear you've cried, I've cried a thousand times
Never once did I want you to hurt inside
I wanna thank you for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This is for the cool in you

HOOK

For every tear you've cried, I've cried a thousand times
Never once did I want you to hurt inside
I wanna thank you for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This is for the cool in you

HOOK (repeat to fade)

written by Babyface, L.A. Reid, Daryl Simmons (1993)

I can't imagine living one day without you
I'd rather just lay down and just die
'Cause all I care about is what I mean to you
Sweet baby just knowing you is heaven
I'll always want you in my life

I can't explain, I can't explain the way I feel
You are the rhythm of my heart
And every beat you give is just how I make do
Swear girly nothing else could matter
Just stay here in my heart

And I'll always love you
Deep in my heart
Always love you, always love you
And I'll always love you
Deep in my heart
Always love you, always love you

There's not a feeling in this world that can describe
All of the joy you bring to me
I can't believe you found a way to maximize
All the love you give and do commit
Stay here in my life

HOOK

And only everything you heart could desire
Is all that I want for you
That's all I desire
And everything and anything you wanna give
Say the word my darlin' and I'm there to commit
You can think it, you can dream it
And I'll make sure you receive it

HOOK

I can't explain, I can't explain the way I feel
You are the rhythm of my heart
And every beat you give is just how I make do
Swear girly nothing else could matter
Just stay here in my heart

You've gotta be
Outta your mind
You've gotta be
The best thing ever in my life
So why would i be
Taking a chance
Of losing the one most important thing
That I can call mine

When you know that I love you so much
And I never could love you enough
Girl the one thing I know I won't do
I won't break your heart
I love you

You much be trippin'
With an illusion
'Cause I don't sleep around
I don't sneak around
Girl stop your trippin'
With your illusions
Gotta stop now
'Cause I don't sneak around

Girl we should be
Having a time
We shouldn't be
Fighting each and every night
I don't understand
How you could feel
I've been untrue and so unfaithful
Girl you're making me ill

When you know that I've been there for you
Anything that you asked, I would do
In my heart of all hearts, I've been true
And I don't deserve this
Not from you

HOOK

Girl I think that I understand
But I'm not every other man
How can you blame me on what other have done
Can't you see this predicament
Doesn't make one bit of sense
Come back to earth
And you might come back to love

When you know that I've been there for you
Anything that you asked, I would do
In my heart of all hearts, I've been true
And I don't deserve this
Not from you

HOOK

written by Babyface (1993)

Lady, if you care for me
Then let me know
That you care for me sweet lady
And that you'll care for me the rest of your life
That's what I'd like to hear

I don't mean to be a bore but
I was hoping you would know what
Just what you feel girl, what you feel inside
And the reason I'm insisting
'Cause the heart just needs convincing
That you care
Before I ask of you to be my

Lady, lady, lady
For the rest of our lives
Can you take forever
Till the end of our time
Lady, lady
Say you'll be mine
Always, my lady
For the rest of our lives

Lady, will you please grant me
My miracle
And say you'll be my lady
And cherish me till the day that we die
That's what I need to hear

I'm not even sure you know what
What I feel inside, nor how much
How much I love you, you're my whole damn life
And the reason why I pressure
You, because I need to measure
How you feel
Before I ask of you to be my

HOOK

If there's one thing I know
Girl I'm sure how much I love you
But I'm not quite sure you're feeling quite the same
Could you please let me know
If I do anything for you, oh lady
Could you let me
Know right away

HOOK

written by Babyface (1993)

I never meant to lie to you
But I needed me an easy way out
I couldn't face the truth with you
Because I didn't want to lose my clout
I always have been good to you
Girl I promise you that nothing has changed
Momentary insanity
Must be the reason why I did you that way

So now I'm telling everybody
That I know I was a fool
To take a chance of losing
And girl I can't take losing you

So I'm
Never keeping secrets
And I'm never telling lies
I wanna make it up to you
No I'm
Never keeping secrets
Girl I swear it's all behind
I only wanna be with you

I didn't want to lie to you
But I didn't want to let you down
It never did occur to me
Sooner or later that you would find out
You know how much I care for you
And I would never want to cause you pain
I know that there is no excuse
How could I ever treat my baby that way

That's why I'm telling everybody
That I know I was a fool
But I don't give a damn about it
'Cause I wanna get back wit you

HOOK

If you wanna go
I want you to know
Girl that I understand it
But I don't recommened it
'Cause I love you more
I know you can't ignore
That I will die for you
And lay down my life for you
Girl I wanna see
You standing next to me
Girl I apologize
For each and every lie
I want you to be
The only one for me
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever

I was sitting here thinkin' 'bout my situation
Though I know you got reservations
I was thinkin' we could have it out
'Cause if we had it out
I knew that we could work things out
I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations
They like to know they got a man with dedication
To make a point they gotta put 'em out, but truly
Baby girl don't have to go out that route

So don't think I don't love you baby
So don't think I ain't been goin' crazy
Don't think for one minute
You ain't been on my mind
Don't think that I'm gone for good
Lord knows that I've been misunderstood
Won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why

I ain't never been down
I ain't never been out
And I ain't never hit rock bottom
Till the day you put me out
And I know I've done some wrong
But I ain't never hit rock bottom
So baby don't count me out

I was thinkin' in the mornin' it'd be over when I wake up
But then reality had hit me and I jumped up
I had to get myself a dial tone
I started callin' everybody tryin' to get back home
But everybody that I called was being difficult
I took it personal and took it as an insult
For all the time we had been goin' out
Girl I don't understand why you would have to go that route

Well I know that I love you baby
And I know that I'm goin' crazy
Don't think for one minute
You ain't been on my mind
Don't think I'm gone for good
Gods knows that I've been misunderstood
I won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why

HOOK

It's been much too long
Since you've been gone away from me
And I need you home
Oh come back to me baby
'Cause I'm all alone
I'm all alone down on my bending knees
Oh baby, baby
Can I come back home please

HOOK

written by Babyface, L.A. Reid, Daryl Simmons (1993)

Just gonna chill tonight
With you by my side
And look into your eyes
We gonna mellow out
Lay back on the couch
And maybe just unwind
And we don't care about what others might say
That we don't never ever go anyplace
'Cause we're all that we need
And that's where we want to be
'Cause we're so, so, so much in love

And that's the way love flows
That's the way it goes
On a saturday night (Saturday, S, S, S, Saturday)
That's the way love flows
Everybody knows
Couldn't be more right
(Saturday, S, S, S, Saturday)

Maybe take a ride
By the oceanside
And watch the sun go down
Play the radio
Jam to somethin' slow
Hey, tell me how that sounds
And as the night takes over the day
Let's initiate the love that we'll make
And that's just what we'll do
'Cause we're into me and you
Because we're so, so, so much in love

HOOK

And as the night takes over the day
Let's initiate the love that we'll make
And that's just what we'll do
'Cause we're into me and you
'Cause we're so, so, so much, so much in love

In the twinkling of an eye
Girl you had me hypnotized
And I didn't care a thing about love
But I quickly start believin'
'Cause I found myself a reason in you
Yea I got a thang for you
And when I think
Think of the way I used to be
I was always all alone
Always doing something wrong
And when I think
Think of the change you brought to me
Girl I wonder why it took you so long

Well alright
Well OK baby
I finally done me something right
I got you in my life
Well alright
Well OK baby
I finally done me something right
I got you in my life

It was deep within my heart
Where the feelin' had to start
I had reason to believe it was love
And I'm sure that's what it was
'Cause I've never felt so much in me
Yea you brought love into me
And when I think
Think of they way things used to be
I was always much too cold
I was always all alone
And when I think baby
Think of the love you brought to me
I don't konw how I could've ever got along

HOOK

In this wake of happiness
I can't help but feel blessed
From you baby
'Cause of you girl
For the first time in my life
I know I've done it right
I fell in love with you

HOOK

written by Babyface (1993)

When can my heart beat again
When does the pain ever end
When do the tears stop from running over
When does you'll get over it begin

I hear what you're sayin'
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you again

When does my someday begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

HOOK

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you
