Gabrielle Album

Dreams can come true 
Look at me babe if I'm with you 
You know you gotta have hope 
You know you've got to be strong 

Move a step closer 
You know that I want you 
I can tell by your eyes 
That you want me too 
Just a question of time 
I knew we'd be together 
And that you'd be mine 
I want you here forever 

Do you hear what I'm saying 
Gotta say how I feel 
I can't believe you're here 
But I know that you're real 
I know what I want 
And baby it's you 
I can't deny my feelings 
'Cos I know they are true 

I've seen you sometimes 
On your own and in crowds 
I knew I had to have you 
My hopes didn't let me down 
Now you're by my side 
And I feel so good 
I've nothing to hide 
Don't feel that you ever could 

Do you hear what I'm saying
Gotta say how I feel 
I can't believe you're here 
But I know that you're real 
I know what I want 
And baby it's you 
Can't deny my feelings 
Because they are true 

I'm not making plans for tomorrow 
Let's live for tonight 
I know I want you baby 
So hold me so tight 
Put your arms around me 
You make me feel so safe 
Then you whisper in my ear 
That you're here to stay

Ain't goin' nowhere
Ain't goin' nowhere, I'll be right here

Right at this moment you're feeling insecure
I don't wanna hurt you baby, you've heard it all before
Your eyes reach out and say hey, don't wanna be hurt again
Give up yourself to me, I'll ease away your fears
You're afraid to test new waters
With me you won't feel cold (you won't feel cold)
I'm here to comfort you, I'm here to see you through
I'm here for you to hold

(CHORUS:)
Because I'm goin' nowhere
If you need someone to hold you, I'll be right here
Oh oh I'm goin' nowhere
If you need someone to hold you, I'll be right here

Love and affection, I can tell that's what you need
Tender loving care, you'll get those things from me
I've got so much to give, I'll give it all to you
No need to worry babe, I'll be here for you

(CHORUS)

(I wanna cherish you) just wanna cherish you
(And love you a lifetime through) love you a lifetime through
(All that I need to know is) what I need to know is
(Will you be mine)

(CHORUS)

No need to feel so lonely 'cause darkness turns to light
Just know I'll be right here to hold you tight
Love and affection, I can tell that's what you need
Tender loving care, you'll get those things from me

(CHORUS)

you don't know what you do to me 
sometimes I find 
you knock me off my feet 
oh how I wish 
that we could be alone 
oh how I wish to me 
that you belonged 

I often watch you 
when you're least aware 
even though I know 
it's really rude to stare 
sometimes I find 
I just can't help myself 
'cos I want you 
want nobody else 

my heart skips a beat 
whenever you are near 
and I just don't know 
what I'm gonna do 

oh how I wish 
that you were here 
oh how I wish 
that you were near 
holding me tight 
spending some time 
wish you were mine 

my thoughts revealed 
I'm showing all the signs 
when we're face to face 
I can't look in your eyes 
sometimes I find 
I just can't help myself 
'cos I want you 
want nobody else 

my heart skips a beat 
whenever you are near 
and I just don't know 
what I'm gonna do 

oh how I wish 
that you were here 
oh how I wish 
that you were near 
holding me tight 
spending some time 
wish you were mine 

my heart skips a beat 
whenever you are near 
and I just don't know 
what I'm gonna do

Touching the heart of me
That's what you do baby, can't you see
Right now you've got me falling
I'm falling, there's no stopping, no, no
Touching the heart of me

You can paint a picture using words
You can make me feel I top the world
When you're near I'm never feeling blue
'Cause you've always known just what to do, do
Touching the heart of me

(CHORUS:)
Baby it's because of you that I do the things I do
Every time we touch it means so much and it's all because of you
Baby it's because of you that I do the things I do
Every time you're near I have no fear
And it's all because of you

Because you're the best thing in my life
When I'm with you it feels so right
Oh how I miss you when you're gone
Although you're never gone for long, long
You're touching the heart of me

You know just how to cherish me
You know exactly how I feel
With you I'm always feeling fine
So fine, you know you blow my mind, my mind
You're touching the heart of me

(CHORUS)

Because of you

Should you ever feel the need wanna fly away (fly away)
I will fight to change your mind, I'll try to make you stay

Touching the heart of me
That's what you do baby, can't you see
Right now you've got me falling
I'm falling, there's no stopping, no, no
Touching the heart of me

You tried your best to show me that you really cared
Said if there were days I was lonely to call you, you'd be there
You tried your best, convinced me that you understand
And if I ever need someone to hold on to, you wanted to be the man

Then I knew it was true
All the feelings that I had inside for you
I could not deny
Many times I tried, ooh ooh

(CHORUS:)
Give me a little more time, I need to make up my mind
'Cause you know I'm in two minds
I wanna be more than your friend, oh I just can't pretend any longer
Feeling's getting stronger

(CHORUS)

You've been there when I've needed, you've never let me down (ah-ooh)
I just don't know how I'd cope without you being around (ah-ooh)
Feelings have grown between us though friends we have been (ah-ooh)
Don't you think it complicates things or is it just me

Then I knew it was true
All the feelings that you had, I shared them too
I could not deny
Many times I lied, ooh ooh

(CHORUS x2)

Oh ooh, all the feelings that I had inside for you
I could not deny

You had to take the time 'cause you had to make up your mind
Really didn't wanna choose but you had too much to lose
Time was passing by, didn't have it on your side
Knew what you had to do, to win sometimes you gotta lose, ah
They've tried to change your mind, told you how to live your life
And they told stories, stories that shouldn't be told
It was you against the world but you chose to hold on to your girl
Gotta believe that she's the one worth fighting for

Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you

Forget about, forget about the world, yeah

Had problems in the past, there's no use in looking back
Future holds so much for you, go to the light and pass on through
You had a stronger love, outside forces weren't enough
They've tried their best to tear apart a love they said would never last
So they tried to change your mind, told you how to live your life
And they told stories, stories that shouldn't be told
It was you against the world but you gotta hold on to your girl
Gotta believe that she's the one worth fighting for

Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds

You gotta hold on to what you want, what you've been fighting for
You gotta believe in it, hold on until you can fight no more
You gotta believe and you will see, see your destiny
Then you will know which way to go

Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world, worry about the girl
Not what they say, not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world (forget about the world)
Worry about the girl (yeah)
Not what they say, not what they say (hold on to your world)
Your future holds for you (honey, oh, hold on to your girl)
Forget about the world (forget about the world)
Worry about the girl (hold on to your girl)
Not what they say, not what they say (yeah, you gotta hold on to your girl)
Your future holds for you (hold on to your girl)
Forget about the world (forget about the world)
Worry about the girl (hold on to your girl)
Not what they say, not what they say (forget about the world)
Your future holds for you (hold on to your girl)
Forget about the world (forget about the world)
Worry about the girl (hold on to your girl)
Not what they say, not what they say (yeah, you gotta hold on to your girl)
Your future holds for you (hold on to your girl)

w/ East 17

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a friend

* And if you ever fall in love again
You must make sure that the lady is a friend
And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way, too

If I said that I would be your one and only
Promise that you'd never leave me lonely
I just wait to be the one you need
I just want to be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share

Repeat *

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
And I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a friend

Repeat * x 3

thought I understood 
all the things that you told me 
you were going through 
tried to be there and wanted to pull you through 
and show you how much you're loved 

made a song and dance 
whenever I would ask you 
just what was wrong 
you would say something like nothing hon 
all along telling me lies 

if you really cared 
cared about me 
then you would care about 
care about us 
if you cared about me 
then you would have cared about love 

felt betrayed 
I was giving good loving 
yet still you strayed 
wasn't I good enough 
you were oh so sweet 
I guess it was your sweetness 
that blinded me 

if you really cared 

if you cared 
you would be there for me 
you wouldn't have left me feeling lonely 
if you really cared 
then you would have cared about us 
cared about love 

said you cared 
now you're asking for forgiveness 
it's much too late 
I don't want you near 
if you cared about me 
then you would have cared about love 

if you really cared 
cared about me 
then you wouldn't have 
hurt me as you did 
if you cared about me 
then you would have cared about love

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
You gave me when you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
You gave me when you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go so walk on by (don't stop)
Baby leave me, never see the tears I cry (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go so walk on by (don't stop)
Baby leave me, never see the tears I cry (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go so walk on by (don't stop)
Baby leave me, never see the tears I cry (don't stop)

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfill my fantasies

I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came I saw

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'Cos when you came you were my

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I said a truth
You wink at me
You're there for me

Sunshine (oh yeah)
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star

(Sunshine) Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine
My star, my star..

I know that it's over
But I can't believe we're through
They said that time's a healer
And I'm better without you
It's gonna take time I know
But I'll get over you

Chorus:
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now I'm ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Caught up in my thinking, yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
But the truth was hard to find
I better think twice I know
That I'll get over you

(Chorus)

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all?
My world of broken promises
Now you won't catch me when I fall

(Chorus)

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de

Early in the morning
My friends already calling
Ready for a party
They're just getting started
Wouldn't miss it for a moment
My heart's already stolen
Heard he's gonna be there
To miss it wouldn't be fair
No, no, no, no, no, no

When a woman wants her man
She'll catch him any way she can
I'm telling you I got a masterplan
I'm gonna get you boy
Make you my man

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de

Driving down the highway
Roberta, Donnie Hathaway, yeah yeah
Playing on the airwaves
As we're making our way
We pull up to a red light
Check the mirror for the last time (for the last time)
I know I'm looking just fine and I feel all right
'Cos I know I'm gonna party tonight, yeah, baby

When a woman wants her man
She'll catch him any way she can
I'm telling you I got a masterplan
I'm gonna get you boy
Make you my man

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de

Walking through the party
With all my girls behind me, yeah, yeah
Suddenly I saw him
My heart it started jumping (and jumping and jumping and jumping)
Then he led me to the dancefloor
Then he held me closely (so closely, baby)
Then he whispered softly (ooh)
Will you be my one and only
My only girl

When a woman wants her man
She'll catch him any way she can
I'm telling you I got a masterplan
I'm gonna get you boy
Make you my man

When a woman wants her man
She'll catch him any way she can
I'm telling you I got a masterplan
I'm gonna get you boy
Make you my man

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
When a woman
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
When a woman
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
When a woman wants her man
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
When a woman
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
When a woman
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de
She'll catch him any way she can,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, de

Here I am, waiting for a sign, I never seem to know
If you want me in your life, where do I stand
I just don't know
I never feel I know you
'Cause you blow hot and you blow cold, it seems I've grown attached
Though we're not the perfect match
I just can't explain

Chorus
Should I stay
Should I go
Could I ever really stand to let you go
Can you now find the right words to say
That maybe I'm getting in your way

I feel your warmth, got me wanting more, you've left the door half open
I'm in two minds to explore, but then again
Am I being honest, being truthful to myself, can I see my life without you
Could I be with someone else
It seems I've grown attached, though we're not the perfect match
I just can't explain

Chorus x2

It seems I've grown attached
Though we're not the perfect match

Chorus

Knew the signs 
Wasn't right 
I was stupid for a while 
Swept away by you 
And now I feel like a fool 

So confused, my heart's bruised 
Was I ever loved by you 

Out of reach, so far 
I never had your heart 
Out of reach, couldn't see 
We were never meant to be 

Catch myself from despair 
I could drown if I stay here 
Keeping busy every day 
I know I will be OK 

But I was 
So confused, my heart's bruised 
Was I ever loved by you 

Out of reach, so far 
I never had your heart 
Out of reach, couldn't see 
We were never meant to be 

So much hurt, so much pain 
Takes a while to regain what is lost inside 
And I hope that in time, you'll be out of my mind 
And I'll be over you 

But now I'm 
So confused, my heart's bruised 
Was I ever loved by you 

Out of reach, so far 
I never had your heart 
Out of reach, couldn't see 
We were never meant to be 

Out of reach, so far 
I never had your heart 
In my reach, I can see 
There's a life out there for me

It's been a while, 
But your smile always brightens up my day, 
I guess you know because it shows, 
You can see it on my face, 
Feels like you've put a spell on me, 
Feels like you've captured me, 
And baby, this is how I feel ... 

Don't need the sun to shine to make me smile, 
Don't care if it's dark outside cause I've got you, 
And though the rain may fall, 
No I won't care at all,
Cause baby I know that I got you.

Everyday there's a change, 
You bring out the best in me, 
My inner soul is what you know, 
That is how you speak to me.
You seem to understand,
You know just who I am, 
And baby, this is how I feel ...

Don't need the sun to shine to make me smile, 
Don't care if it's dark outside cause I've got you, 
And though the rain may fall,
No I won't care at all,
Cause baby I know that I got you. 

Don't need a rocket man, 
To help me touch the sky, 
I don't need to fly a plane,
To get this high,
Don't need to hitch a ride,
When I could run a million miles,
Yes I would, just to see you smile.

Don't need the sun to shine to make me smile, 
Don't care if it's dark outside cause I've got you, 
And though the rain may fall, 
No I won't care at all, 
Cause baby I know that I got you.

Uhuh
Uhyeaheah

After all is said and done
How can we carry on?
And after what you've done to me
How did you think that I would be?
You had your chance
When I took you back
Now we're here again and you're hurting me

What would you do?
What would you say?
If you found me gone
If I walked away
What would you learn?
Would your heart be burned?
What would you do babe?
What would you say?
If I walked away

All the promises you made
They never saw the light of day
Many times you said you'd changed
I was a fool to wait
You had your chance
When I took you back
Now we're here again and you're hurting me

What would you do?
What would you say?
If you found me gone
If I walked away
What would you learn?
Would your heart be burned
What would you do babe?
What would you say?

Now that you've been pushing me I'm close to the edge
I'm losing all patience
I have nothing left
We've been here before
I can't take it no more
I've tried

What would you do?
What would you say?
If you found me gone
If I walked away
What would you learn?
Would your heart be burned?
What would you do babe?
What would you say?
If I walked away

(what would you do)
If I walked away
(what would you say?)
If I walked away
(what would you do?)
Tell me would you feel the pain?
Feel the pain
If I walked away
