Gettin it straight in 98 y'all

Tired of all the talk they're talkin' all over this town
I'm tired of all the negativity that's going 'round
We focus all our energy on things that bring us down
Let's put our voices all together and make a joyful sound

Do just what you wanna do
Oh let the sun come shining through
Everybody
Live, live
Everybody live
Everybody live
You got to do it ...

Life is the most precious gift I thank the Lord for mine
I hope you feel the same my friend I hope you're feeling fine
The choice is yours your destiny is waiting on the line
You better get busy with living or you're busy dying

Do just what you wanna do
Oh let the sun come shining through
Everybody
Live, yeah yeah yeah yeah, live

You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star

You lift me from up above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mind are entwined
Before you I was blind

But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind

I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday

So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, and you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make my life complete

You can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready ?
On your mark begin

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

Do you feel your life's a big mistake ?
Don't you hate the way it's all so fake ?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel

All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we're buying one in every size
Can't you see it in the children's eyes ?
It's about to get wild

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

Ha yeah
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
Any you want it
You can have it any way you want it
Hey hey

You can have it any way you want it
Any you want it

You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it

Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away

The milky way or even Mars

Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

They say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they're wrong
I want you so bad

Oh we've been together for so long
How could they think we don't belong ?
But they'll never know what you and I have

Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life

They say that we don't have a chance
We're victims of unjust romance
But they could'nt see the truth in their hands

We don't have to live like they do
We'll run away if we have to
And we'll start a life that's shining and new
That's shining and new

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life
( Repeat 'til the end )

All I have
And all I do
Cannot compare
To the love of you

You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl's eyes

When I look in my little girl's eyes X4

You're my star
And when I'm far
You're not alone
'Cause your heart's my home

You are my biggest prize
So beautiful and so wise
I can see the woman from within my child
When I look in my little girl's eyes

When I look in my little girl's eyes X4

You make me feel alive
And you are my highest high
All I want to do when I come into the room is see her smile
When I look in my little girl's eyes

When I look in my little girl's eyes X4

. . .



The way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When you're not around me
You know it just don't feel the same

And I've waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you

'Cause you're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of
You're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of

The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain
And now I'm a junkie
I'm running around without a brain

I got the jones deep inside me
And you are what I wanna do
You give me this feeling
You always make me feel brand new

'Cause you're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of
You're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of

Is there anyone out there
Willing to try ?
Or are we satisfied with just getting by ?

We've hurt mother nature
Can't you see her she's crying
We've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?

We're fighting more battles
Everyday we're alive
We should be rejoicing
But instead we cry

This world's so polluted
You would think we were blind
We poison our children
Before they're defined

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ? yeah

Excuse me for saying
'Cause I've never been shy
But if we don't stop this
We sho'nuff goin' die

Yes I hope we can make it
'Cause this river's run dry
Now our only battle
Will be to survive, hey

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Come on and think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?
Yeah it's the new millennium

Yeah yeah yeah
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
To live another season ?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
It's the new millennium
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

(Guess who / Austin powers Soundtrack)

Huh!
American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama let me be

Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you

Now woman
Stay away
American woman
Listen what I say

American woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama let me be

Don't come knocking around my door

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman
Get away
American woman
Listen what I say

Huh!
American woman
I said get away
American woman
Listen what I say

Don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more

I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman
Get away
American woman
Listen what I say

American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama let me be

. . .



The sun is shining
But I don't feel the rays
The boats are sailing
But I don't want to play

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

I live life in luxury
But I believe it's a crime
Well you can't enjoy it
And all the time cry

Or maybe some kind of spell
'Cause it feels like a curse
There's so much water
But all the time thirst

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on death row
'Cause you are not there

I need a pardon
I can't stand the pain
What I do for your love now
If there's love to regain

I don't think I can make it without you
I don't think I can make it without you

I don't think I can make it without you
I don't think I can make it without you

I don't think I can make it without you
