[Nelly]

Plus I hear you kinda single right now boo (True)
And I got a perfect spot for a tattoo (Oh)

Cause I got a few places you can fly to
Bring ya partners cause you know I'm bringin' my crew

[Brian McKnight]
Girl don't you walk on by
We're not leavin' one more time
Shorty's got her back to me
Show me what you got for me
Watch you move from side to side
Lick your lips then close your eyes
Like something from a fantasy
Good for you and good for me girl

So we can talk about the things you want (Talk about the things want)
Or we can talk about the things you like
Girl I don't just talk to hear my lines
You've heard it all a thousand times girl
And we can talk about taking it slow (Takin' it slow)
And we can talk about taking our time
Girl how can I get you in my ride
Who's gonna take you home tonight

Baby let me love you (Baby let me love you)
All night long (All night long)
All night long (All night long)
Baby let me please you (Let me please you, yeah)
All night long (All night long)
All night long (Mmm hmmm)

We can take a ride in my ride
We can get it on outside
Hit it of like 1-2-3
The moon and stars is all we need
Then we can take it back to my crib
We don't have to say that we did
No one knows that we just met
What you see is what you get

So we can talk about the things you want (Talk about the things want)
Or we can talk about the things you like
Girl I don't just talk to hear my lines
You've heard it all a thousand times girl
And we can talk about taking it slow (Takin' it slow)
And we can talk about taking our time
Girl how can I get you in my ride
Who's gonna take you home tonight

Baby let me love you (Baby let me love you)
All night long (All night long)
All night long (All night long, yeah yeah)
Baby let me please you (Let me please you)
All night long (All night long)
All night long

Oh baby whenever you say
We can be out
I'm not in a hurry Ma
But we can go now
There's so many ways
We can get down
I'm gonna give all the lovin' to ya
Oh girl

[Nelly]
I wanna be your stability
Physically finance and mentally
If willing
I'll be fulfilling anything you reveal to me
Like ya fantasies
Ya dreams
Peaches and cream
You name it
You pick
I lick
That's the thing
Time don't mean a damn thing in this case
So unplug the clocks
And close the drapes
I got it all planned out
Me and you goin'
Until we both scream ouch
We both pass out

So we can talk about the things you want (Talk about the things want)
Or we can talk about the things you like
Girl I don't just talk to hear my lines
You've heard it all a thousand times girl
And we can talk about taking it slow (Takin' it slow)
And we can talk about taking our time
Girl how can I get you in my ride
Who's gonna take you home tonight

Baby let me love you (Baby let me love you)
All night long (All night long)

Mmm, mmm
Alright, yeah
Listen

Baby, can you put them bags down
Just wait hold on for a minute
Gotta say a couple things before you go
Even though I know that we're finished

I don't want you to leave without knowin'
Just where I'm comin' from, babe
I just wanna say I made a big mistake
And now I gotta face the fact that I

Shoulda been a better man
The kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done right by you

I coulda done this, I coulda done that
But I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah

I can tell by the look on your face
You ain't tryin' to hear what I'm sayin'
Maybe you done heard all of this before
To her this ain't no game that I'm playin'

This may be the last chance I ever have
To talk to you before you go
So I gotta say I made I big mistake
Girl, you know it's killin' me that I

Shoulda been a better man
The kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done right by you

I coulda done this, I coulda done that
But I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah

I should have done my best to love you, baby
I should have placed no one above you
And now it's killin' me more than you know
Letting you, that's why I...girl, I know that I shoulda

Shoulda been a better man (Coulda been a better man to you, baby)
The kinda man that you needed (Shoulda been there for
you every time you needed me)
Woulda been better off (Every time you called me)
If I done right by you (And you know that I coulda done this)

I coulda done this, I coulda done that (Coulda done that, yeah)
But I know I can't go back (You know I can't go back, baby)
'Cause now it's just too late (All I know need to know
is, girl, all I need to know is)
I'm sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah (Do you love me
like you used to, baby)

I know I shoulda, yeah
I know I woulda, yeah (All the things I coulda done)
I know I coulda been a better man (All the things I shoulda done)
Said I shoulda woulda coulda, yeah (Sayin' shoulda
woulda coulda, yeah)

I know I shoulda, yeah (Yeah)
I know I woulda, yeah (Cooulda woulda shoulda)
I know I coulda been a better man
Said I shoulda woulda coulda, yeah (Yeah)

Its been so long since i touched ur face
Its been so long since i had the taste
Its been so long since i had u here with me
Its been so long since i yesterdays
Its been so long since u get away
Its been so long i never thought i would have seen u again

[1] - So thats why, girl i dont wanna let u go
Thats why, feeling starts let u know
Thats why, babygirl dont tell me no
Why dont we try our love again?
So thats why, you're the woman i should be with
Thats why, miss u more than a little bit
Thats why, think i have had enough of this
Why dont we try our love again?

Its been so long has been quite a while
Its been so long since i seen that smile
Its been so long since i had u close to me
Its been so long so much has changed
Its been so long girl i take the blame
Its been so long but i knew someday i'll see u again

[Repeat 1]

I used to have u here with me
I think about u constantly
And i just had to let u know
Cant remember why i let u go
But here we got us a second chance
The answers are our true romance
And we dont have to be alone
Its time for u to come on home

[Repeat 1]

I found an awful
I couldnt have left
I remember that day
And it was the best of times
You are my first
My beginning and my end
And my loose and my best friend
Am I coming or go
And if this is goodbye

[1] - Then now, where do we go from here
When everything seems so clear
Will I be left with the pains
Staying all alone, I be the rain
After the love is gone
When everything right turn wrong
And where do we go from here


Love have run out of time
You said you'd always be mine
Its hard to believe thats how we grown apart
Why the way that things have been
It just make no sense
Im just so unprepared for the way i feel inside

[Repeat 1]

What happened to the flame
It dont feel the same
And I dont know what to say

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]


[Thanks to notorious70@hotmail.com for these lyrics]

Praising right out of the blue
And i felt got the reasons why
Why i went away
Funny how u open that door
And asked me walks in
The only think that i know for sure
Exactely how long has been

[1] - Cause baby has been so long
Since i had u here with me
Baby is been so long
Baby come to me

Do you ever think of us
And the way it used to be
Day and night all over ur touch
Of the things u do to me
They say is just like writing a pad
Somethings u never forget
U know all the things that I'd like
Lets see how much harder it gets

[Repeat 1]

They playin my song
It might be wrong
I hope that this night dont end
It might be right
Right here tonight
What do u say, can u stay

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

(feat. Joe, Carl Thomas, Tyrese, Tank)

Uh Uh Uh

Neither one of us can get to sleep
Cause what's on your mind
Is what's on my mind
Both of us know we just may regret it
And neither one of us can fight for truth
Cause u feelin me and im feelin u
And both of us hope we will never forget it

Cause we are closer and we touch
And the feeling gets too much
No need to hurry, no need to rush
And Im tellin you
Girl im tellin you

[1] - And im just givin it up to me
Im not just givin it up to u
And senses, hope we both know what to do
Thats good enough (thats good enough for me girl)
And im just givin it up to me
Im not just givin it up to u
And senses, hope we both know what to do
Thats good enough (thats good enough for me girl)

Neither one of us can shake the past
Are we movin to slow?
Im movin too fast
Cant touch us now, if we dont let it
And neither one us wants to slide to win
If forever was low and got to spin
And us can true if we just say it

So cause we are closer and we touch
And the feeling gets too much
No need to hurry, no need to rush
And I say to u girl i say to u

[Repeat 1]

Ohh what we have right here now baby
Is good for me is all good u
Is all we were waiting for
Take my hand
And i take u to that special place
Come with me to this open door

[Repeat 1]

I try to pull myself together,
One lie, tore us apart.
We left so many words unspoken.
You walked away with my heart,
And I cried, I cried.
Heaven knows how much I cried.
Could you find the strength within you,
To give me one more try.

If I called you, would you believe what I had to say,
And if I saw you, would you, turn and run away.
If I had my way girl, you'd be with me right now.
Someday, someway, somehow.
Someday, someway, somehow.

I thought that I could go on without you.
Guess what? I was so wrong,
And I realized how much I really love you,
And it's been far too long.
I know you cried, I know you cried.
Heaven knows how much you cried.
But can you find the strength within you,
To give me one more try.

If I called you, would you believe what I had to say,
And if I saw you, would you, turn and run away.
If I had my way girl, you'd be with me right now.
Someday, someway, somehow.
Someday, someway, somehow.

So come on, don't I get my one mistake.
Let's forget about yesterday for tomorrow,
I know we've found what's at the end of the rainbow,
And it's meant to be, it's meant to be,

If I called you, would you believe what I had to say,
And if I saw you, would you, turn and run away.
If I had my way girl, you'd be with me right now.
Someday, someway, somehow.
Someday, someway, somehow.

Someday, someway, somehow.

Star light, star bright,
Have you ever felt the way I feel tonight?
Sparkle in your eyes, as the diamond shines,
Guaranteeing that you'll always be mine.

Let me tell you, for the rest of my life I'll be true.
Here to tell you this evening,
And the rest of my days and nights belong to you.
You can believe that there ain't nothing in this world that I'd rather do.
Now and forever my heart belongs to you.
Now and forever, for the rest of my life I love you.

And it's alright, go ahead and cry,
I'm so happy now that I could die.
(I understand your tears)
And you touched my soul,
More than you know.
So afraid that you would tell me.

Let me tell you, for the rest of my life I'll be true.
Here to tell you this evening,
And the rest of my days and nights belong to you.
You can believe that there ain't nothing in this world that I'd rather do.
Now and forever my heart belongs to you.
Now and forever, for the rest of my life I love you.

The countdown has begun until the day,
And I know that we're gonna be together come what may,
And if you want me and need to always be there,
Constantly, patiently, taking good care,
I'll be there, you'll know I'll be there.

For the rest of my life I'll be true.
And the rest of my days and nights belong to you.
You can believe that there's nothing in this world that I'd rather do.
Now and forever my heart belongs to you.
Now and forever, for the rest of my life I love you.
I love you.

I see that look in your eyes, girl,
I might cross the room, that you're leading,
And I can't deny that I want you.
So I make my way up to you,
No, I see that ring on your finger.
Telling me that I shouldn't linger.
It's such a shame, a disaster,
That it has to be this way,

But if it was cool.
It would be me and you.
Think of all the nasty things we could do.
That would something, but only,
"IF" It was cool, but it ain't though,

Tell me, would he mind,
If I kissed ya,
Now he's at home, watching E-S-P-N
If I took you home, would he miss you?
But it dont' matter, cuz I don't get down that way.
No, if you were mine, would you do this to me?
While I'm at home, watching reruns of Drag
Net with a bottle of Hennesey.
Would you be ashamed when you saw,
And what would you say?

But if it was cool.
It would be me and you.
Think of all the nasty things we could do.
That would something, but only,
"IF" It was cool, but it ain't though,

Whoa, so nice to meet,
Oh, I try to teach you the best I could,
Like a true gentleman should.
Girl, I've gots to meet to him,
He right there, might just see it,
I'll be around, same bat time, same bat channel,
You know the station, whoa.

But if it was cool.
It would be me and you.
Think of all the nasty things we could do.
That would something, but only,
"IF" It was cool, but it ain't though,

If it was cool.
If it was cool.
If it was cool.

That would something, but only,
"IF" It was cool, but it ain't though,

[Continues on to a short track]

We meet and everything was fine,
We were so young, everybody drove a Mercedes,
We got, so high, so low, wasn't so long ago,
We coulda fell in love, but your girl got in the mix,
Made you sick, drove you crazy,
Then one day came out your face with a pack of lies.
When other people get into your business,
They should really shut the hell up and take five,
And now you're sorry, you say baby I'm sorry.
I might be able to forgive you and forget, but I dunno yet.

(Six John)

For everytime you had to go asleep alone.
For everytime I tried to rush you off the phone.
For everytime I said something to make you cry.
Now that all is said and done, I can't deny.

I'm so sorry for anything I might have done.
And I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt the only one,
And I'm sorry, the best laid plans sometimes fall through,
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.

For everytime I lied right to your face,
And you knew it.
For all the wasted time that we cannot replace.
For everytime that a discussion turned into an argument, we'd fight.
Hey, how I wish that I could have it back tonight.

I'm so sorry for anything I might have done.
And I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt the only one,
And I'm sorry, the best laid plans sometimes fall through,
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.

To try and count your tears, would be like standing in the rain.
The weather's been bad, for that I'll gladly take the blame.
Now our two separate lives will never ever be the same,
But I hope that you can forgive someday.

I'm so sorry for anything I might have done.
And I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt the only one,
And I'm sorry, the best laid plans sometimes fall through,
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.
For anything that I might've done, I apologize to you.

(feat. Kirk Franklin)

For every little girl and every little boy,
Whose mother and father is across the waters,
Fighting the war they know nothing about,
We pray for you tonight, God help us, listen.

We're running outta time, can't waste it.
Have you seen the news today?
War is on the uprise, who said it was to be this way?
Lord I know that millions won't make it.
This life's all I have to live and I'll gladly give it,
To be one of the one's who did.

Ever since creation, we've been counting down the time,
From then and we will see, nations fighting nations.
I hide the world inside my heart,
Then I read about, man inventing weapons of mass destruction,
To tear us all apart,
But like the rising of the sun,
We're waiting for you to come and take us away,
Those of us who believe in you,
Believe me when I say,

We're running outta time, can't waste it.
Have you seen the news today?
War is on the uprise, who said it was to be this way?
Lord I know that millions won't make it.
This life's all I have to live and I'll gladly give it,
To be one of the one's who did.

I'm gonna hang on to you Lord,
I'm gonna stay strong for you Lord, yeah,
I'm gonna keep holding on, gonna keep holding on,
To your unchanging hand, Lord you know the plan,
That you have for me, it's not my will,
But your way, and I'm gonna follow that way, Lord.
Oh lord, with a made-up mind, I'm willing to go on through.
I'm not gonna worry about what my friends might say,
Or my friends might do, hey,
I'm gonna follow you Lord, I'm gonna follow you Lord.
If I let it all go, if my momma don't go,
If my sista don't go, if my brotha don't go,
I'm going, I'm going through, Lord.
If my preacher don't go, said I'm going.
Oh Lordy, Oh Lordy, Oh Lordy,
I surrender all.
With a made-up mind, I'm going through,
Care,

So father we pray right now,
That you hear our cries,
For peace, for restoration.
Give us hope right now,
Without you we can't make it.
We tried and we're sorry,
But we look to the hills,
From it cometh our help,
Cause we know our help comes from you,
We gonna hold on, I said we're gonna hold on to you.
We're not gonna let go this time father,
We're gonna trust and have faith, the size of a mustard seed.
Bless your name Father, you're worthy.
Thank You
