Beverley Knight Album

Let me introduce you to... B-Funk (do-do-do-do-do)
Let me show you a new school concept of funkin'
It's called the B-Funk
And I am aware
Dawning of a new day in UK flavour
Thats on the rise
And I'm inspired by an older generation
Who weren't afraid to give their all and nothing else

I'm moving on up the right side
where money's no friend of mine
I realise your importance
I'm gonna leave what's left behind

Ooh I'm going uptown downtown roundtown baby
shaking my head for you
now I'm understanding 

Love is the only way to lead a better lifestyle
nothing else for free can change your whole way of living
the only security to lead a better lifestyle
the best things in life are free
thank you for showing me 

You're giving me all new direction
I'm leaving the rat race behind
I'm giving it all up 'cause I've found
a loving state of mind

Ooh I'm going uptown downdont roundtown baby
shanking my head for you

You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual
You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual

I knew the feeling was mutual
When I first laid my eyes on you
There was nothing anyone could do to change my mind
I could tell we would do just fine

As long as you love me truthfully
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
The way I feel is so strong
you're the one I really need
Make your loving real 

Together love can be beautiful
I know you're feeling the same way too
There's only few that can understand what we have
Except that they'll never catch the vibe

As long as you can see ain't no time for "3"
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
Cuz when you're down in my groove, baby

Feel the flavour for your feet

Everybody need a place to chill
Gotta stop the world standing still
Don't you know I got a place to go? I tell ya
Funky people let me come back to ya
Understand we got the stuff to move ya
Anybody with the funk oughta know 

So you don't have to play around
Take someone you love
Show them where it's at
'Cos there's a time for getting on
Time to feel the flow
like we used to know, and can we....

Keep the flavour of the old school
See what happiness we're bringing
Keep the flavour of the old school
Everybody's got that feeling
Keep the flavour of the old school
See what happiness we're bringing
Keep the flavour of the old school
Everybody's got that feeling, that feeling 

Keep the flavour for the babies growing
Pass it on so we can keep them knowing
that positivity is going on, I tell ya
I think about it with your head in motion
Funky music ain't the strangest notion
When you feel it in your soul

Feel the flavour for your feet
'Cos it's the one to make you move
Feel the flavour on the street

Oh yeah
Oohh-oh-oh
Oh, ooh, oh-oh

Put your arms around me
Feel what you can do
You can take away my bad mood
You can do me good
Oh-oh
Ooh-ooh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh oh your love

Your love is a remedy (a remedy)
The sweetness in my life (such a sweetness)
You have the ability
To put me right

As long as you're beside me
I am not afraid
You've given me security
You keep me warm and safe
Oh, I love you (I love you)
Oh, I need you (I need you)
Oh boy, I love you (I love you)

Who's on top, on top of the world

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

I recall the rise and fall
In the funky little jams we used to throw down to
Am I coming through?
For those who know the two-step flow
You'll remember how we used to love the 'tic tac toe'
It was strong but slow

Let it overcome you
'Til you got no choice to
Tune in to what we wanna see you do

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game (oh get down)
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

As you chill, recall the thrill of intoxicaing moves that make you feel so high
Like the Butterfly
And I would doubt you'd be without the best of what the DJ had to play to you
Like he oughtta do

Let it overcome you
'Til you got no choice to
Tune in to what we wanna see you do

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game (get down, get down)
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

Move your body to the funk!
(Just move it)
Move your body to the funk!
(Oh won't you get down?)
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!
(Just move it)
Move your body to the funk!
(Move it, move it, move it, move it up for me)
Move your body to the funk!

Let it overcome you (Let it overcome you)
'Til you got no choice to ('Til you got no choice to)
Tune in to what we wanna see you do (sing it, sing it, oh won't you go and get
down)

Down, like you know you should
Better get up on the old school flavour
Down, like you know you should
(Get up) Get down, (get up) get down (get down)
Down, like you know you should
Better get up on the old school flavour
Down, like you know you should
Get down, get down (you gotta, you gotta, you gotta get down)

Go down for the one

Down, like you know you should

You, you're steppin on my shoes
Oh yeah yeah
oh oh oh

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
But everything you see is a part of my history

"Life without ambition leads you to a no-win situation"
So, I said, in my position, that all my dreams will come to fruition
I fought to stay a winner, but every opportunity grew slimmer
How can I keep my sanity when all the odds are piled against me
I see

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
But everything you see is a part of my history

Life ain't so rosy
When circumstance is takin' all your money
The mailbox seems so empty
It's like the world's deigned to just drive me crazy

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
But everything you see is a part of my history

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
oh, but everything you see is a part of my history

It's kinda strange - you could arrange your future
A lifetime of making-other-people-plenty-money, y'know
It's suicide to analyse what's goin' on
But if you're willing to take a risk, maybe you can find the strength to fight
it

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
But everything you see is a part of my history

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
But everything you see is a part of my history

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes
Frontin' on my rules

People steppin' on my shoes
People frontin' on my fundamental rules
People steppin' on my shoes

Ooh ooh, ooh yes
Oh yes, oooh, oooh, mmm

Sometimes
The everyday things can really get you down
Yes, I know
And sometimes
You seem to carry problems
When I'm not around
And they grow, still I...

I could never leave you lonely
You know, you know that would never do
Sure as the sun will rise (and the moon will shine)
My love's the same for you

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Some hearts blow in the wind like falling leaves
In every changing season, easy to offend
Don't you ever think that's my intention
We're one person - you're my friend

I could never leave you lonely
You know, you know, you know that would never do
Sure as the sun will rise (and the moon shine)
My love's the same for you

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Whenever you think of me - Don't you worry bout a thing
Whenever I think of you - You're my everything
Whenever we think of each other - It's more than emotion
I may not be there, but I still care
Remember I'm talking forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I promise you forever

My mama said that before me, that before me she had to fight for any rights
Her mother told her "girl be bolder than the rest"
She said remember those who gave you the chance to be who you are today
Don't you think it's about time for you to shine?

In everything I've ever done you were the one to guide me
You lift me up, you help me out, you're always standing by me
Without your love, I realise I got no prize to dream about
So here it is, I say to you, you've given me joy

And I mean to say that there's no other way
Than to sing what it is that I'm feeling
I'm seeing that

I-I want you to know
That you make me feel
So happy, happy yeah

I-I want you to know
That you make me feel
So happy, happy yeah

I got a hope, I have a life, it's right, I owe that to ya
We're feeling good, we're having fun, the sun is passing over
I'll never stop for giving up the funk that gets you flowin'
It's all you need, it's guaranteed to bring you joy

And I mean to say that there's no other way
Than to sing what it is that I'm feeling
I'm seeing that

I can see, I can feel

A shockwave through my life
Now I feel so alive

It's funny how we see the worst of things
we look at our stress and strains
even measure our labour and pain
and it's all in vain.
Why do we feel some things will never change
feeding on a negative vibe.
Wheeling on a downward site
But I learned...

That thru' it all, I couldn't fall
on you I call; you deliver me
When fading fast, all troubles past
On you I cast; for you said,
"Let me carry all your problems
your fears are my concern, and in return
I ask you...

"Cast all your cares on me
Nothing is too much for me to bear
Cast all your cares on me
Understand that I will be there
Cast all your cares on me
Things will be alright, I'm telling you
Cast all your cares on me
for I care for you

The little things help me to realise
that I have a friend in you
even when I don't feel like I do
though inside I knew
And when I need to feel that I'm loved again
All I do is call your name ("Abba father")
and my pressure starts to wane

Lord I just call your name
and with your spirit you bring me love
Lord I just call, Lord I just call your name, your name
I know you're listenin'
Lord I just call, Lord I just call your name,
you answer my prayer
Anytime I need a friend, I call you Lord, I do I do
and when you touch me with your goodness

Mmm
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

How should I have know all this before
When I cluelessly came walkin' through your door
How should I expect to meet someone like you
I think I must have stood there as if glued
I was only thinkin'

All I need, all I want
Yes, you've got it
Makes me breathless
Ooh you got it, you got it
And I know
Ain't nobody
Who can do this
Nobody who can do this
Whatcha do, watcha do
To me, baby
Is mysterious
What you do for me baby
You're so good, you're so good
For me, baby
I'm delirious
Delirious

I would like to get to know you well
See I just can't escape your special spell
No I just can't stop thinkin' what it would be like
If you and I were together
I wish we would try
Yeah, I wish we would try

All I need, all I want
Yes, you've got it
Makes me breathless
Makin' be breathless
Ooh you got it, you got it
And I know
Ain't nobody
Who can do this
Nobody who can do this
Whatcha do, watcha do
To me, baby
Is mysterious
What you do, what you do for me baby
You're so good, you're so good
For me, baby
I'm delirious
I'm delirious oh yes

Oh, I just pray that you feel the same
That you don't just give me slap in the face
Cause I'm so hopelessly in love with you
Oh, I could not stand your turning away

Baby
I couldnt stand it
(turn away no no no no)
Ooh you got it

All I need, all I want
Yes, you've got it
Makes me breathless
All I need, all I want
Yes, you've got it
Oh baby
And I know
Ain't nobody
Who can do this
Nobody
Whatcha do, watcha do
To me, baby
Is mysterious
What you do for me baby
For me, baby
I'm delirious
I am delirious
All I need, all I want
Yes, you've got it
Makes me breathless
Everything about you

And I know
Ain't nobody
Who can do this

Making decisions over what I should do
I see no other way for me to go through
Things seem to crowd me when I need space to breathe
And all I can do is fantacise over how it should be
Thinking it over just makes me see
That for once in my lifetime I'll do right by me
Break inhibitions, loose all my fears
And wipe away my misty eyes so my vision is clear

Don't you know I'm a mover?
(don' you know I am)
Don't you know time's a healer?
(don't you know that oooh)
Everything has a place in life
And I'm gonna find my own way there

I'll start as I mean to go on
I'll hold to my faith and be strong
I wanna try
I'm gonna get by
In time

Facing the future with a positive eye
Problems from yesterday I'll leave them behind
If love should come my way - I'll be stronger this time
'Cos no-one with an attitude's gonna play with my mind

Don't you know I'm a mover?
(don' you know I am)
Don't you know time's a healer?
(don't you know that oooh)
Everything has a place in life
And I'm gonna find my own way there

I'll start as I mean to go on
I'll hold to my faith and be strong
I wanna try
I'm gonna get by
In time

Turning a page in my life
Closing the door to strife
I wanna try
Try to get by
In time
Time

Facing the future
So positive, yeah yeah
Oh
Making decisions
For me
Love should come my way
I'll be stronger

Written By Beverley Knight

Goodbye innocence, you didn't stay too long
You were her haven, her solace while she was young
But Fate decreed that fear would form her personality
And she would cry when daylight passed, knowing that the night would bring
...Daddy

Goodbye innocence, you made her happy 
Goodbye innocence, you saved her from pain
But you weren't enough, to break the heavy fall
Goodbye
Goodbye innocence

Now a woman, her character's 'unclean'
Childhood haunts her, she's fighting the things unseen
A slave to memory, relived as she sleeps
And freedom like the prisoner, whose fate is sealed by hate
Is a dream

Chorus

If only she found a reason to trust somebody
She would find a friend in me, o yes
See, I can't take away the pain, that she endured no, no, no
But I try to ease her misery
