Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I, I'm doing
(Fine)
So fine
(So fine)
So fine
Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I doing?
(fine)

Written By Knight/Drakes/Shorten/Noble

From a place that had no meaning
From the wilderness of time
To the land of new beginning
Starting with a new design
Never doubted for a second
That I'd do it on my own
And I held onto my corner
Trusted in the things I know 

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
To do this once again
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
Once again I made it back

Got a chance to fix up neatly
Set it off and not too late
Saw the light and walked towards it
I'm the master of my late
Coming up just wasn't easy
It took all the strength I had
Now I'm ready for the action
Mamma got a brand nu bag

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

Chorus (x2)

Flava, flava, flava

Written By Knight/Pheto/Thomas

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Funny how, when in love, everything your baby does has meaning
Then it ends, love is spurned and then your sanity returns you seething
What do you do?
You scream you shout you fall about, you do whatever suits ya
Yourself control is left to doubt
Revenge it seems so right
You weep you wail you tell your tale
To anyone who'll listen
Then when you find the time to chill, discover life is out there still, so

Find a way to start it again 
Bring it back and start it over
Find another way to begin
Fade to grey and turn it over
Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over, again, again, again 

Most of us in our lives, made a choice and sacrificed our feelings
And who's to say, that you're okay, when you feel like the layers of your soul
are peeling 
Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood 
But you gotta find a way to start again, so

Chorus

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

You're a medicine baby
Just a little dose and I feel so fine
You're everything that I want
Yet everything that I fear
You are

You're an enema baby
You don't feel right but you can't leave my system
You're everything that I have
Yet nothing that I own (this is so wrong)

Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Knowing when I'm lonely I just keep coming back to you
Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Always coming back to you

(Gotta tell you)
You're an opiate baby
Send me on a high but in the end you'll kill me
I need to keep my sanity
That's the one thing that you'll take from me

(Ooh ooh ohh ooh baby)
You're a tidal wave baby
Dangerous to ride, but the rush is amazing
You've made me what I have become
Something I should have never have begun

And how is it so
That you stay with me like my own shadow
Hell, I've got my pride
So why do I keep coming on back
To
You
And oh

Chorus

Ain't nothing but those silly games
That's bonding you to my mind
Ain't no rhyme or reason other than "ooh bedtime"
Simply put, I just love to look at you
'Cos to love ya is a waste of time
That's the sum of it
No denying it
Cos we both know we're through

Oh! Damn the reason
That you should make me want you so
When I'm lonely - that's when you come
Why do I invite this misery?
Oh! Damn the reasons that make me cover both my eyes
So I can't see just what you are
And what you've done to me

Chorus (x2) 

Written By Knight/McIntosh

I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave 

In life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya
And how it's good to be alone sometimes
I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on me
And runaway when day turned into night

Cuz you're a good time sister, always out for something better
Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave
Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave

So many people that I found say they're down with ya
Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze
See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em
They fall around you like the winter leaves

A little rain and they would run for cover (I can still remember)
When no one else could see the need to shelter (How could I forget?)
And knowing better times were round the corner (O I can still remember) 
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say

Chorus (x2)

I never hear I never see you 
I never hear I never see you no more (x3)

Written By Knight/Wolinski/Gammons

Sittin' alone with a head full of empty thought
Playing with time that she just doesn't have
Dreamin' that life is a stranger that brings you flowers
Prayin' the dream is real as she feels it is 
Dreams bring you anything
Hoping that chance could
Bring you to the other side
Wanting a future there
Feeling that love affair with the other side

Sista sista
Better run better fly
Better weather on the other side
Sista sista
Stand up tall don't you ever fall
Sista sista
Can't you hear my call 

Over the bridge turning right at the stop sign
Lives a woman who thinks as you do
Watchin' the world thru' the glare of a TV screen
Wonderin' what's round the corner for you

I would give anything
Hoping that chance could bring me to the other side
Soon as my thoughts are clear
One day I'll see you there
On the other side

Remember the time, I needed more than loving
The reassurance, that someone cared for me
You gave completely, with no conditions added
I'm standing by you for your time of need
You will see...

Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand
Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand

Let me enfold you, in love that feels familiar
I see you're hurting; I'll take your pain away
Rivers of sorrow, flow only for a season
Into the sea of tranquility, you will see...

Chorus

Ah yeah, Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
You know
That my hand is strong
Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
(You know)
That my hand is strong

You-ou
You can lean
Yes you can
You can lean
Ooh-ooh

Written By Knight/Thomas/Pheto

It's a good thing the air feels cool today
And it's better that God, don't send the rain
And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds
Cuz inside 'o' me there's fire untamed 

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life
And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life 

It's a good thing your heater broke down today
And it's better you keep them drinks on ice
And it's best if you got them chills down in your soul
Cuz the heat inside 'o' me will surely suffice

And none of the world's restraints could ever hold me
and none of the superficial could tie me down
and none of the pain I felt was enough to break me
See my face was never made to from

Chorus

And I'm feeling... (Good)
Could you qualify that? (Never better)
And what day is today people? (The greatest day of my life, ah-ooh!) (Good)
Ohh (Never better ooh)
And what day is it?
(Whoah greatest day, greatest day)

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

All things work for better (gotta work together)
When people learn to love

We know that all things work together for our good (let me sing about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (so good)
We know that all things work together for our good (and that's alright)
And that's alright

We know that all things work together for our good (think about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (alright)
We know that all things work together for our good (I know, I know)
And that's alright
So right
So good

And it feels good
(Work together for our good)
Let me shout it out
(that's alright, so right)
(Alright, so right)
Said it's all good
So good
(Work together for our good)
(And that's alright)

Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

We're not over yet
See our journey's just beginning and the future's set
Cos' see I need to be with you
Don't you worry none
See my shoes ain't walking nowhere but right back to home
Cos' see this vibe I feel is love

Chorus

There's a higher source
That sets the wheels of love in motion
It's the unseen force that'll bind us closer still
I just can't resist - and if I did it would be futile
See with every kiss, I, I, I can't help myself

Chorus

I believe it (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (yeah)
Believe it
I believe in us (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (so deep)

Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
And it's getting deeper, yeah
Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
It's getting deeper

(Over and over and over)
Mmm, send me, move me love me
(Over and over and over)
Send me
Sugar

Have you ever seen me sit and wonder why you're here with me?
Of anyone you'd have your pick
Yet here is where you choose to be
Oh-oh
When you ask me why I smile (when you ask me why I smile)
Whenever you say my name (my name, my name, my name)
See when you speak you got this tone (talk to me babe)
Gives me thoughts I shouldn't say, ooh

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (send me)
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)
Sugar ohh...

Lover's Rock describes your groove
Rude boy, love is heavenly (Rude boy gimme rude boy love come on)
Cocoa butter chocolate smooth (cocoa butter chocolate smooth)
Dark skinned angel all for me (yeah yeah)
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

Love just doesn't say enough (enough enough)
And yet it's everything and more
God gave you all the stuff (sent me an angel)
to give me what I'm looking for

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

Send me (send me)
(Move me)
(Love me)
Sugar don't you know?
Don't you know? Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (over and over and over again)
(Move me baby love)

Written By Knight/McIntosh (1998)

Would I want, what I got, what I need (x2)

I got a canvas, paint and brushes too
What I need is the memory, to paint a picture of you
Love at a distance, my world's torn in two
And nothing, that I got, could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

I know the journey, I know the distance and the time
But what I need is you beside me, to make my drive sublime 
Love at a distance, my worlds torn in two 
And nothing I got could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

Would I want, ain't no little one time thing
What I got, is a bondafire love
What I need, is to have you closer to me
Cuz all this spare and time it don't ease my mind no 

What I want, is for you to remember me 
What I got, is the fear that you won't 
What I need, is to bring our minds together 
So we're synchronized when we fantasies oh, love at a distance

Written By Knight/Sharbek

Starting at the beginning in a history of pain
It's hard to realise, a dream I've fantasised for so long
Suddenly my position turns around within one day
A transformation came born with freedom's name

This brave new world I live in seems a little easier to face 
This deep blue sea I swim in, bears me up enough so I can float away

Hey hello good morning world 
Yesterday's another girl 
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life 
Morning came to right the wrong 
Yesterday's another song 
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life 

Got a whole new religion, I got a change of scenery
And yet in different ways, nothing ceases to amaze me
I'm a whole new woman, In a different kind a'way 
Yet I remain unfazed my mind and body still un-swayed 

This brave new world I live in never seems to hurt me anymore 
This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore 

Chorus

Hello, good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine 
Hello good morning, how are you? Fine so fine 
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine

This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore
