Baby Come To Me
I will chase your tears away
Put your trust in me
Girl I swear I'll never change
Darling you will see
That my love is here to stay
I promise you, I will be true
From here and now, forever girl I

I said I love you
I said I care
When I tell you I love you
It means I always will be there
I'll never leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart I will be there

Open up your heart
Don't be afraid to love again
We can take it slow
You should know I understand
Baby take your time
And I don't care how long it takes
'Cause I promise you, I'm here for you
From here and now, forever girl I

HOOK

And I will be there
(And I will be there for you)
Forever sincere to you
(Girl I'll always care for you)
I just wanna share my life with you
Right here, right now, forever girl I

HOOK

written by Babyface (1997)

You get inside of me and I don't even
(Know how to act, girl)
You have synergy that gets in me that's
(That's better than sex)
When we get inimate it's got to be as
(As good as it gets)
And I just can't wait to get home

Your sexuality it smothers me and
(And less I forget)
My own reality is fantasy it's
(I just got to admit)
That I desire you and think of you like
(Like all thru the day)
That I just can't wait to get home

Girl I be
All day, all day, all day
All day thinkin' about you
I be
All day, all day, all day
All day dreamin' about you

You are the good in me, the bad in me
(The love of my life)
You are the up in me, the down I me
(The love of my life)
And you are there for me to care for me
(At the end of each day)
And I just can't wait to get home
Your sexuality, it captures me
(And blows me away)
That I must think of thee at least a thousand
(A thousand times a day)

Word is bond

I will love you any way baby any way and every way I can
'Cause I'm that kind of man
I will give you everything baby
Give you more than any girl can stand
I'm gonna love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I'm talking 'bout makin' love in the shower
At least an hour
And let you dangle in my arms
'Cause love is power
Can you feel it the sky's the limit
Once you reveal it
Your heart was wounded
God sent me to heal it
On a mission ain't no stress love
Touch you with precision
Just undress love
I know the right position
Come one trust me girl
Throw this rock up on your hand
I'll give you the world
Yo Face
On the real
Was the honey looking laced

Ooh baby baby baby

This is for the lover in you
This ring means I'll always be true
This is how we'll start love anew
This time it's gonna last forever

I will love you all the way baby
Girl this means this love will never end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I will take you anywhere baby
Just say when and girl I'll take you there
I'm gonna take you baby, baby, baby, baby

We're going from Tahiti to France
To Italy in one night
Drop top Bentley coupe parked in the spotlight
And you can drive it laced in all white
I'm wearin' triple black
Our gear is top flight
Trips to venice
The man of steel when I'm in this
A match made in heaven
When we blend this
Lovers everlasting
In other words endless
To love any other man
Would be senseless
Yo Face
On the real
Was the honey looking laced

Ooh baby baby baby

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, 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 (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 (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

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

Somebody told me
There'd be trouble at home
'Cause we never talk a lot
When we spend time alone
So how are we supposed to know
Know when something is wrong
Well, we've got a right to communicate
It keeps a happy home

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me
Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

When we go to work
How the day seems so long
The only thing I think about
Can't wait 'til we get home
'Cause we got a way of talking
And it's better than words
It's the strangest kind of relationship
Oh, but with us it always works

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Whatever you want
It's alright with me
'Cause you've got that whip appeal
So work it on me
It's better than love
Sweet as can be
You've got that whip appeal
So whip it on me

Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me
Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me

HOOK 4 times

Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me
Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

SPOKEN:
Hey, come here for a second
I don't like the way he treats you
He doesn't deserve you
He really don't

What kind of man
Would leave you standing in the cold
Must've been a silly one
To sacrifice a pot of gold
You're the kind of woman
That needs a man that's always there
It's not that you require a lot
Just need some tender love and care

I give good love
I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too
Soon as I get home from work
I'll pay your rent
Your faithful lover
Soon as I get home, soon as I get home from work
Girl, I'll treat you right
And I'll never lie
For all that it's worth
I give good love (good love, good love, good love, good love)

It doesn't make sense
That you should have a broken heart
If I were the only one
I'd never let you fall apart
You're the kind of woman
That needs a man with lots of cash
With a stack of major credit cards
And with me you don't have to ask

I give good love
I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too
Soon as I get home from work
I'll pay your rent
Your faithful lover
Soon as I get home, soon as I get home from work
Girl, I'll treat you right
And I'll never lie or flirt
Soon as I get home, soon as I get home from work
Girl I'll be around, never let you down
For all that it's worth
I give good love (good love, good love, good love, good love)
I give good love (good love, good love, good love, good love)

You're not alone, no
And no one's gonna hurt your heart again
And this I know, yes
You can count on me, I'll be there as your friend
For no one knows the pain that you've endured
They took the best from you
Girl, I know
You gave 'em all ya got

You tried, they played around
You cried, they let you down
You gave 'em everything you had
They treated you oh so bad

Given a chance
I'd make it up to you
Given a chance
I'd prove this world was wrong
Given a chance
I'd give my all to you
I'd teach this world a lesson
And I'd never let you fall
Given a chance

It's not yuor fault
That you were born with such a trusting heart
Erase that thought
You're so beautiful, please stay the way you are
And no one understands how much it hurts
You tried to make it work
Girl I know
You gave it all you got

Don't cry, it's over now
Don't sigh, things are better now
I will give you everything you need
You can always count on me

Given a chance
I'd make it up to you
Given a chance
I'd prove this world was wrong
Given a chance
I'd give my all to you

Last night I laid with you
'Twas like a dream come true
I've never felt so right
I want you for the rest of my life

Maybe we should settle down
And raise a family
A girl for you
And maybe a boy for me
'Cause that is how much
That is how much
How much I love you girl

Sunshine
You brighten my life
Sunshine
You make me feel alright
Sunshine
You turn the darkness to light
And you brighten up the corners of my mind

You really do, yeah

Last night I prayed for you
That you would forever be cool
'Cause you brought back love in my life
And I gotta tell ya baby
The feeling it's so nice

So maybe we should just settle down
And raise a family
A girl for you
And maybe a boy for me
'Cause that's how much
That is how much
How much I love you girl

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true
That someone like you
Loves me too

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true

The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me
