El DeBarge Album

Oh baby, ah baby, oh yeah

I just wanna lay right here with you
Baby I just wanna lay with you

I know you have work
But I would love for you
To stay with me
For a little while longer
I'm asking a lot
But I don't want you to go away.
Cause I can't get you out of my mind girl

I could just look at you (all day long)
Your beautiful smile I just (can't go wrong)
If only you didn't have to leave
You could relax and chill with me

Let's not leave the house today
I just wanna lay with you
With your body close to mine
Room service will be on the way
I just wanna lay with you
Can't get enough of you (girl)

Oh baby, you're making it hard for me to leave
Wish I didn't have to go
So next time around let's hope it rains
So we can just stay in
Cause I just wanna lay with you

I could just look at you (all day along)
Your beautiful smile, I just (can't go wrong)
If only you didn't have to leave
We could relax and just chill in these sheets

Let's not leave the house today
I just wanna lay with you
With your body close to mine
Room service will be on the way
I just wanna lay with you (I wanna lay with you baby)
Can't get enough of you (girl)

Oh, one night with you is like heaven (like heaven)
I don't wanna go from here, oh baby
Kissing your neck while you're sleeping (sleeping)
Love when you need

Let's not leave the house today
I just wanna lay with you
(Baby I just wanna lay yeah baby)
Room service will be on the way
I just wanna lay with you
(Can I can I can I lay)

Let's not leave the house today
I just wanna lay with you baby
Baby I just wanna lay with you

I just wanna lay right here with you
I just wanna lay right here with you
I just wanna lay right here with you
Can I lay with you

I say what, I say what,
All the ladies in the house, I see.

I see things like heaven girl
Every time we get together girl, girl, girl.

Last night I saw an angel,
Opened her wings for me,
That girl has been here all along,
My love for her was secret,
And her love was meant for me,
She knows every time she hears this song.

[Chorus:]
And I hear the voice of angel sing with me, she's so loud,
And she's always there to pick me up when, all falls down,
And the love I had to give before is all hers now, all hers now.
Every time that I'm with you, it feels just like heaven,
Anytime I look at you, yeah, it feels just like heaven,
It's like the sun is shinin' through, my face, it feels just like heaven,
And I know that God must be missing you, cause it feels just like heaven.

I see the light in your eyes, it feels like eternity,
And I'll be in hell if she ever leaves, don't ever leave me girl,
I'm blinded by her beauty, she shines like a diamond
And I'm not afraid to tell her, shares what she needs to me.

[Chorus:]
And I hear the voice of angel sing with me, she's so loud,
And she's always there to pick me up when, all falls down,
And the love I had to give before is all hers now, all hers now.
Every time that I'm with you, it feels just like heaven,
Anytime I look at you, yeah, it feels just like heaven,
It's like the sun is shinin' through, my face, it feels just like heaven,
And I know that God must be missing you, cause it feels just like heaven.

Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven,
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven,
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
Just like heaven baby, it feels like heaven.

Every time that I'm with you, it feels just like heaven,
Anytime I look at you, girl, it feels just like heaven,
I see the sun shinin' through your eyes, baby, it feels just like heaven,
And I know that God must be missing you, cause it feels just like heaven.

Every time that I'm with you, it feels just like heaven,
And anytime I look at you, yeah, it feels just like heaven,
It's like the sun is shinin' through, my face, it feels just like heaven,
And I know that God must be missing you, cause it feels just like heaven.

Oh, just like heaven, you and me, just like heaven, baby
Just wait and see, I will hold you tight, baby, with all I got baby, hey baby,
Hooo, yeahhhh, ooohh, yeahhh, yeahhh, just like heaven,
When I'm with you, girl, when I'm with you, when I'm with you.

All I can do baby, to keep close to you baby,
All I can do baby, say baby

You say that you need a man in your life that you can love and trust,
And I'm thinking I know just who you need,
That would be me, I know that I can make you happy
Open your eyes and look at me, baby

[Chorus:]
Girl, I'm doing all I can do in my power to get close to you
Jumping through hoops and obstacles
Please tell me what I gotta to do,
Get close to you, I'm tryna get close to you,
Get close to you say baby

You're afraid to really open up and let me inside,
From all the hurt you ever felt in your life,
But if you don't try, you never know what we could be,
Take a chance on me, baby.

[Chorus:]
Girl, I'm doing all I can do in my power to get close to you
Jumping through hoops and obstacles
Please tell me what I gotta to do,
Get close to you, (I wanna get close to you)
I'm tryna get close to you, (baby)
Get close to you, say baby

Please don't make me pay, don't make me pay
For mistakes someone else made any longer
I long for the day to hear you say
That you're ready to receive my love

[Chorus x2]

Hey baby, say baby
To get close to you, tell me what I gotta do, get close to you,
I'm tryna get close to you, get close to you, say baby, ohhh, hey.

[No lyrics]

Ra ra ra ra, ohhh
Hooo, huuu.

Just a thought of you, be with someone else,
That will never do, want you for myself,
Girl, what we've been through,
Baby, me and you, guess we never knew who turned out to be who.

[Chorus:]
Cause when I see you, I just die, girl
I can't explain and my heart stops
Without you, in my life, girl, the feeling takes me away,
When I see you, I come alive, girl
I never wanna be with somebody new in my life girl,
And that's the way that I feel when I see you, you, you.

No more loneliness, no more emptiness,
Tell I love you strong, let's hold on to this,
I will cherish you, let me shelter to you,
And I promise you, all your dreams will come true.

[Chorus:]
Cause when I see you, I just die, girl
I can't explain and my heart stops
Without you, in my life, girl, the feeling takes me away,
When I see you, I come alive, girl
I never wanna be with somebody new in my life girl,
And that's the way that I feel when I see you girl.

I never felt this much about anything,
Girl you know you got me good, you got me goin' insane,
I see traces of your faces in the strangest of places,
It doesn't matter what I do.

[Chorus:]
Cause when I see you, I just die, girl
I can't explain and my heart stops
Without you, in my life, girl, the feeling takes me away,
When I see you, I come alive, girl
I never wanna be with somebody new in my life girl,
And that's the way that I feel when I see you girl.

It's funny how all this time and all that we've been through
Gets better, and better, I love you forever,
Baby you never know who turns out to be true
From spring to September, I'll always remember,
It's funny how all this time and all that we've been through
Yeah, it gets better and better, I love you forever
Baby I never thought it turn out to be you
After all that we've been through, I'm still in love with you.
When I see you, girl, I just die, girl,
'Cause when I see you, girl I just die, girl,
When I see you, I just die, girl.

You know what?
You're such a perfect lover,
And baby you can do better than me,
But you stuck by me like a soldier,
Sweet loving until,
That's right baby!
Set me up on a pedestal,
Still love me wrong or right,
It's a mystery why I'm so lucky,
I keep trying to figure it out!

[Chorus:]
Tell me how can you love me so much, girl?
Put up with all of the crazy things I do
How can you love me so much, baby?
I can always count on you.

I think you're trying to tame me,
Yes, you are!
But I don't think you tryna change me no,
Say I'm your diamond in the rough
Your baby your man (Yes I am)
I'm so unpredictable,
Yet your love's unconditional for me.
I wanna know why!

[Chorus:]
Tell me how can you love me so much, girl?
Put up with all of the crazy things I do
How can you love me so much, baby?
I can always count on you.

I recall so many days,
Walk through the door and brought home all my selfish ways,
But you remained just as beautiful,
You never ever ever change,
Your love is strong,
It goes on and on.

Girl, put your weight on my shoulders,
I'll carry you, that's what good lovers do!
Pamper, stroke and please and hold ya,
Girl tonight, this is all about you.

[Chorus /w ad-libs: x2]
Tell me how can you love me so much, girl?
Put up with all of the crazy things I do
How can you love me so much, baby?
I can always count on you.

You're special girl, you're special baby

This is for the one you love, one you love, one you love
The one you love, one you love, one you love
It's for the one you love
Baby, it's as you've dropped down from Heaven,
How else can I explain the making of you?
In all of my life I never met such a girl, quite like you,
Knowing that you're not present and my future,
It warms my heart cause I've had myself a rocky past.
But right now I'm all smiles,
And it's you that I owe,
You made it possible!

[Chorus:]
So I, I'm serenading you,
Straight to ecstasy!
It's where I'm taking you,
Cause you were made for me!
And I was made for you!
So I celebrate our love with song,
With song, yeah!

And I'm lovin' how you take me for who I am,
And you ain't try to change me into someone I'm not.
It's a beautiful thing when two people get along,
The way we do!
When I'm grazing my fingers, gently through your hair,
The sweetest melody soft can pop out of nowhere
And it takes full control,
Girl is you that I owe!
You made it possible!

[Chorus:]
So I, I'm serenading you,
Straight to ecstasy!
It's where I'm taking you,
Cause you were made for me!
And I was made for you!
So I celebrate our love with song,
With a love song, yeah!

I'm serenading you,
From night fall until
The sun comes breaking through,
Cause you were made for me!
And I was made for you!
So I celebrate our love with song,
With song, yeah, yeah!

Sometimes, gotta get your grown man, get your grown man on
Every now and then
Gotta get your grown man, get your grown man on
For your lady,
Gotta get your grown man, get your grown man on!
Get it on! Serenading

[Chorus:]
I'm serenading you,
Straight to ecstasy!
It's where I'm taking you,
Cause you were made for me!
And I was made for you!
So I celebrate our love with a song,
A love song, yeah!

I'm serenading you,
From night fall until
The sun comes breaking through,
Cause you were made for me!
And I was made for you!
So I celebrate our love with song,

Yeah!
This is for the one you love, one you love, one you love!

Disappointments, all there seems lessons for the heart baby

Stop roaming round, settle down you can't erase this,
You got me and I got you, so don't be afraid to lose, appreciate it

It might take you some time to really get it
Don't take your baby for granted

So it's really up to you, to appreciate it

It's so joyful feeling the pain again
I get myself in trouble whenever I try to resist

I'm living indeed so joyful here I go again,

So I'm opening out to you,
I can feel you now, and I need you to show me how
I feel just like a flower in the rain
Who waits for the sun to shine again, but I appreciate you

It's so joyful feeling the pain again
I get myself in trouble whenever I try to resist
I learned to embrace the struggle whether I loose or win
I'm living indeed so joyful to feel the pain and love again

I get myself in trouble whenever I try to resist
I learned to embrace the struggle whether I loose or win

Hey sexy lady stay with me a while

And I don't wanna look like a clown, like a clown
But I could swear they're telling me that you want to get close to me

And please don't get me wrong I'm not tryna flatter you
Cause girl I know you heard that all before,
I won't break your heart if you give me the chance
I'll make it good to you

Ain't nobody gonna touch you like I wanna love you baby
Ain't nobody gonna need you like I wanna treat you baby, yeah baby
Ain't nobody gonna hold you like I'm gonna squeeze you baby, hey baby

All I need is just one night, all I need is just one night, all I need is just one night.

Yeah, so sad… there's another sad song, oh yeah
Sick and tired of sitting in this crib staring at the man in the mirror
Ever since that she left I felt a beat down in my chest heart
So many scars I can't remove it, it's so hard to get through it
And hitin' the club won't do it

I'm in this empty room playing my piano
Singing nothing but sad songs, sad songs
I'm so alone no one's here but these bottles
O what a sad song, sad song

Shouldn't have got up on my knee yeah
Make you feel like you were the only one I needed
Girl I gave you my heart for the keeping
All the love I put in your heart was deleted, yeah

Baby you took advantage, look at me damaged
It's not how we planned it, yeah
The lights are down, no one's around, tell me what is all about
The tears rolled down my face, time just won't erase
What we had ain't comin' back, stuck in the past what the hell was that?
Girl I miss you, why did you quit on?

I'm in this empty room playing my piano
Singing nothing but sad songs, sad songs
I'm so alone no one's here but these battles
O what a sad song, sad song

And the melody that I tender play, started when you left
And the key of loneliness I can't resist, hoping for your best
But just know that the door closes when you leave
Only thing here is these memories and the sad songs haunting me

I'm in this empty room playing my piano
Singing nothing but sad songs, sad songs
I'm so alone no one's here but these battles
O what a sad song, sad song

Sad sad sad sad songs [x3]

Hollow, such a lonely place, such a lonely place, oh
Such a lonely place without you, oh ah
My heart is aching me what should I do? Oh ah
We were playing with both fears of forever, oh ah
Until that clock tick-tock now was never, oh ah, oh ah

It's a shame same thing that you love so much
Can make you hurt that much on the other side,
Oh ah, oh ah, oh ah,
Oh why did you leave, you know I believe
And now I'm left here grieving for you
Seems like time's standing still with a forbidden feel,
Every step is a treacherous move, oh ah, oh ah

It's not fair losing to a dangerous liaison
You took much too long to wait upon
Somewhere between heaven and earth
It all got lost where has it gone, the horror, horror

It's a shame same thing that you love so much
Can make you hurt that much on the other side,
Oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah

Why should be just a memory
It's like a bell that keeps on ringing
Calling me

But I believe what I can see
And I can feel the warmth of love
Surrounding me

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I
A second chance

I have changed
(I have changed)
But take the blame
(Take the blame)

For all the words left and spoken through the pain
I played the game and lost and spayed
But I have cleansed myself by walking through the rain

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I
A second chance

If you listen there's a melody in how you live your life
(How you live your life)
You can write the song you want to hear
And I pray
(Pray)

To live mine
So in the mirror speaks
It tells me you have faced your inner fears
And in loving this song

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I

No, I'm not giving up
I am here to stay

A second chance
A second chance
A second chance

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Oooh, oooh, aaaah

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night

Frost on the window, just in from the cold,
Warmth of the fire feels so good to be home!
The time is near and I've been counting the days,
What more can I say?
The house is filled with ribbons and bows,
Silver bells, stockings over flows,
Decorating the Christmas tree,
Wishing you were here with me!

[Chorus:]
I'm listening to carols,
By Crosby and Cole,
Lots of kissing you under the mistletoe,
Oh the memories fall like snow,
But it won't be Christmas without you,
It won't be the same this Christmas!
Just won't be the same!

Feels like I'm living in make-believe,
Pretending that you're right next to me,
I'm holding onto these memories
Wishing you were here with me!

[Chorus:]
I'm listening to carols,
By Crosby and Cole,
Lots of kissing you under the mistletoe,
Oh the memories fall like snow,
But it won't be Christmas without you,
It won't be the same this Christmas!
Just won't be the same!

If I, if I could only have one wish,
You'd be the wish on my list,
Cause you're the most precious gift,
Baby to me!

[Chorus:]
I'm listening to carols,
By Crosby and Cole,
Lots of kissing you under the mistletoe,
Oh the memories fall like snow,
But it won't be Christmas without you,
It won't be the same this Christmas!
If you're not here! Oh, if you're not here!
It won't be Christmas without you here!
Just won't be Christmas, it won't be the same no
Just won't be Christmas
It won't be Christmas, if you're not here
Just won't be Christmas
Just won't be Christmas
If you're not here, if you're not here
This year
