Brian McKnight Album

Oh yeah

Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, la, hey
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, ooh

Do I know more than we knew then?
Or do we know less and we just pretend
Your brought out my heart and walked away
Your eyes tell me more than words could ever say

[1] - Should we take a chance
And dance the last dance?
Should we spend the night
One last time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see, let it be
The way that it will be
Should we take a chance
And dance the last dance

How can I be wrong?
When I feel the way I feel
How can I deny, emotions that's so real
In the middle of the night
I call out your name
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you feel the same?

[Repeat 1]

Let me go, come to me
Which way is the way it should be
This is so bittersweet
There's no way that we can love enough to show
If we take the chance

[Repeat 1 till end]

It's been too long
Since last time I saw your face
You've been keeping it tight and everything
Appears to be in its proper place
We laugh about back in '94
Reminiscing, I hoping for a little old time sake
Can you stay? Can you stay?

[1] - Do you want me?
Anything like I want you
Your body's calling
Tell me you can hear it too
I'm still crazy for you
What are we gonna do?
Can you stay? Stay?

The night is young and
A familiar mood fills the air
I bought the wine and
Run my fingers through your hair
My mojo's working, can you feel it?
It's most time to reveal it
Let's fly away
What do you say?

[Repeat 1]

Don't you worry 'bout a thing girl
Everything's alright, it's alright
See the smile upon my face
We'll be together, together
Let's forget about the past, its yesterday, yesterday
But today is today, stay

[Repeat 1 till end]

All you do is tell me lies
Can't you see I'm
not surprised
That you think that I'm
A fool
hey
'Cause you think that no
one sees
And you think you're
playin' me
I just think that your
confused
You're playin' you, baby

[Chorus:]
You didn't think that I would
catch you
You didn't know how I knew
You didn't think your girl
would tell on you
You played yourself that way

She was your bestfriend in
your eyes
But she told me the flip side
Guess she wanted in my life
If you would've seen her
plan
Would've known I was
the man
That she desired to have
You were too blind to see

I waited
Look enough for you
to throw your cards
You played it
But playin'didn't get you
very far

Its undeniable...that we should be together...
Its unbelievable how I used to say that I found in her...
The places you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...

One...your like a dream come true...
Two... jus wanna be with you...
Three... girl its plain to see...that your the only one for me...
Four...repeat steps one to three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One.(yeah)

So Incrediable...the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know that its all about babe...
And undesirable...for us to be apart...
Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart
Cause...

One...your like a dream come true
Two... jus wanna be with you
Three... girl its plain to see..that your the only one for me
Four...repeat steps one to three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One......

Say farewell to the dark night...I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child..whose life has jus begun...
You came and reached into the light,
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line...just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee.....

One...your like a dream come true
Two... jus wanna be with you
Three... girl its plain to see..that your the only one for me..girl and...
Four...repeat steps one to three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One.

What's up girl?
I need to talk to you for a minute
I can't keep playing myself like this
There's only one thing I wanna know
Should I stay or should I go?

It's not my fault that you make yourself regret the past
But all I know is, it makes me look bad
When I'm holding your hand and you see your friends you know
And they walk away laughing
Calling me a fool

(But baby I can't) change the things you did before we met
Even though I didn't know you
(It's hard for me to) trust you even more girl, I love you
So tell me what am I to do, yeah

[1] - Don't know if we will last
Nothing we do can erase the past
Now can you tell me, I don't know
Should I stay or let it go?
Don't know if we're meant to be
And if we should be committed faithfully
But can you tell me, I don't know
Should I stay or let it go?

I think of the night that I made reservations just for two
But you gave your attention to someone across the room
I should have known right then that things weren't right
But I couldn't see it cause love had me so blind

(Tell me how can) I be so secure in loving you
When everybody's calling me a fool
(I can't keep holding) on to broken promises from you
And I can't take no more from you, yeah

[Repeat 1]

Baby time and time again
I try to overlook the pain
And I think of losing all we had together
Girl if it takes me losing you
For happiness in me
I think that I might just have to let you go, oh

Why you playing those games huh?
I don't see how you'll do it when I walk out the door

[Repeat 1 till end]

Should I stay, or should I go?

Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe in nothing like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss

1 - It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away

Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Every time the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you
Is everything okay?

Repeat 1

It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why

Repeat 1

Sing it for me
Ooh, ooh

Did you say you had to leave?
Is that the way it has to be?
How I hate to see you go
But it's okay because I know

1 - You could be the one I'm waiting for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my love
You could be the one to buy yourself a life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

Every night I wish upon a star
Just wanna every where you are
Body's calling out your name
Girl tell me that you feel the same

Repeat 1

Late at night whenever I thought I'd find it never
I just might be done
Think I found the one, oh
Babe oh

Repeat 1 (3x)

You could be the one
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

Repeat 1 till end

I remeber the day when
we first met
We both got caught in
the rain
And we were soaking wet
I looked in your eyes
You gave me a smile
You told me your name
You told me about
your career
I told you about my hopes,
my dreams, my fears
We had some laughs
One month has past
Tonight can't you stay

[Chorus:]
Now that
The time is feeling just right
Candles burnin' turnin; out
the lights
Anticipate the feelin' of
your skin
Shall we begin
Hit repeat and let the
music play
Until the night turns
into day
Open-up your heart and let
me in
Shall we begin

Over time
We've gotten closer
than close
You're the one
I wanna be with the most
Neither one of us was in
a rush
Agreeing to wait
Now I feel my patience
running thin
Anticipating when you tell
me when
the time is now
Tell me you'll stay

[chorus]

We're gonna take our time
Don't hesitate to
come inside
Relax your mind
Everything is alright
The candlelight and you
Just pour the wine
We're gonna take it
nice and slow
auto pilot
Steady as we go
Not in a hurry, no
Till I hear you say
That you're glad
you stayed

[No lyrics]

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Oh when I look at you
I probably should go
Cause I wanna be with you
More than you'll ever know
Hmm for a taste of you
I could calm my desire
Baby you blow my mind
You light my fire, oh

I want you (yeah)
Need you (yeah)
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Is it the way I feel?
The curiosity or the things you do
That brings out the lust in me
The thought of me and you, drives me wild
Come close to me
Can you stay awhile?

Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Yeah
Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Are you lonely for me?

Sunday night, two weeks past
The last time, I saw your face
Our separate ways, we decided to go
Now I find my self
Sitting down, thinking 'bout everything
To this place, we've come to how?
You used to be down
Memories of you
And could you be thinking 'bout me right now?

Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
You shouldn't try to hide the way you feel inside
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Just let me make it right, and stay with me tonight
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
I won't believe we're through
Tell me what you wanna do
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Hey

There's a good in your eye
That's a lie, I wish we could back when we first met
How to forgive and forget
I wish that I could have you right here next to me
You're supposed to be in my arms
Through stormy weather safe from harm
Can we be down?
Show me how, I wish I could hear from you right now

Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
You shouldn't try to hide the way you feel inside
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Just let me make it right, and stay with me tonight
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
I won't believe we're through
Tell me what you wanna do
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Hey

Lay it on the line
I won't waste your time
We can make it work
I know we'll be fine
Together we can start
Never be apart again
Are you lonely?

Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
You shouldn't try to hide the way you feel inside
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Just let me make it right, and stay with me tonight
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
I won't believe we're through
Tell me what you wanna do
Are you lonely for me?
(Are you lonely for me?)
Hey

[I]
Thinkin' back in time
Someone said that love was blind
But they were wrong
You just choose not to see me

[II]
When it's right before your eyes
You'd rather compromise
Then give your all
Then it don't turn out
The way it's supposed to be

[III]
Time and time again you disapoint
When she belives
Just do your best
And give her what she needs
And...

[Chorus]
Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone
Cherish her love

[IV]
It might be hard to conceive
Yougotta see the forest
Despite the trees
Before it all burns down

[V]
Not tellin' ya nothing you dont't know
But she'll let you have your fun
But when a woman's done when she's done
And then she'll go
Just when you're needin' her the most

[VI]
Time and time again you disappoint
When she beleives
Do all you can
To give her what she needs

[Chorus]

[VII]
And if you care about the weather
Keep her safe and warm
Let nothing in between stand in your way
They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm
Together come whatever
Come what may
Just...

[Chorus]

Thinking back when we first met
I remember what you said
You said you'd never leave me
I let go of your hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now I'm reachin' out again
And I'm not letting go
Till you

Hold me
Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See, I gotta find me way back home
So why don't you
Shape me
make me
Wah me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
Back home

Master upon my knees i pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in your hands
Lord, I know I'm just a man
I know you understand
This time I'm not letting go
Till you

Anoint me
Appoint me
Somstimes I feel so alone
See, I gotta find my way back home
So why don't you
Chastise me
Baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way

'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering
Long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And I'm not gonna rest
Till you

Choose me
Use me
Sometimes I feel so alone
I'm on my way back home

So why don't you
Direct me
Bless me
Wash me whiter then the snow
I'm on my way
Back home
