[No lyrics]

Oooooh baby, Not tonight
I don't wanna fuss n fight
I just wanna make it right
Ooh, ooh there's work to do
I wanna get real close to you
I wanna get you in the mood

All the things you want to do
Just relax and I'll take care of you

And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that I love you every day
And I know that you love me
Baby, admit it

(Chorus)
Give me all your love and don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
(All night long)
Come into my bedroom honey
What I got will make you spend money
(All night long)

You know that I know that you love me
So if you just give me a chance
I can still show you romance
I know that you still savin' for
My flavor babe
So stop playin' hard to get
Let's make love like we first met

All the things you want to do
Just relax and I'll take care of you
And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that I love you everyday
And I know that you love me
Baby, mm baby

(Chorus)

And I'll say
Shoo do do do do do do do doo

(Chorus)

(Repeat)

Heyy, heyy, heyyy!
Heyy, heyy, heyyy!
Heyy, heyy, heyyy!

(Chorus)
I don't know what I would do
Do without you
In my life boy
I don't know if I could live
Live without you
You bring me joy

(Vs.1)
You know if the time is right
I don't wanna fuss n fight
I just wanna let you know
I'm feeling good tonight
I want you to take my hand
And promise you'll be cool
Cause I know you like the way that I move

Oh, oh boy you bring me joy
Some try to play me
But they can't fade me
Oh, oh boy you've go it goin on
And you make me happy (happy)
So very happy

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
You know when I think of you
I'm thinkin of myself
I just wanna be with you, my friend
And no one else
It's not hard
To say what I feel
Cause you know that my love is for real

Oh, oh boy I'll be your toy
Come on and play with me
And never leave me
Oh, oh boy you've got it goin on
And you satisfy me (yes you do)
You satisfy me

(Bridge)
So much joy
In my world
Be my man
And I'll be your girl

(Chorus)

(Vs.3)
Wait just a minute
Something else is on my mind
I don't wanna have to tell you
This but one more time
You're the only man I want
And I ain't never gonna front
On ya baby so relax your mind
And realize

(Chorus)(Repeat)

Realize that I'm gonna do you right

[No lyrics]

oooh...
I'm the only woman you need

(Chorus)
I'm the only woman you need
Only one you need take me
Don't be a fool like you have me
If you want to be happy
I'm the only woman you need
All you have to do is trust me
Never have to be sad again
Cause I'll always be your friend

(Vs.1)
I gave my heart to you
What more can I do
To show you how much I care
About you and all the little things you do
But see all I ask is that you make me feel like
I'm somebody
All day, all day, everyday, give your lovin' away
whoa...
Baby, can't you see
If we should part
That all my days of loving you
You know they weren't that hard
That's why I'm saying I gotta be strong

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
I know that I was wrong
For all that carryin' on
But are you gonna hold this
Against me for life
You know all I wanted to do is be your wife
And make you happy

(Chorus)

If you really don't want me (want me)
I wish you'd let me know
And I will go so far away
I can not stay
If you don't want me to, I can
Be a fool for you no more (I don't think so)

You see I tried
Tried to please you
The best way I know how
And I never decieved you
If only we could trust each other
Stop thinking foolish things
I don't want another lover

(Chorus)

[No lyrics]

(Chorus)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
(Repeat)

(Vs.1)
Life can be only what you make it
When you're feelin down
You should never fake it
Say what's on your mind
And you'll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease

And you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because He'll give you love

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
Take your time
Baby don't you rush a thing
Don't you know, I know
We all are struggling
I know it is hard
But we will get by
And if you don't believe in me
Just believe in "He"

Cause He'll give you peace of mind
Yes He will
And you'll see the sunshine
For real, yes you would
And you'll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would

(Chorus)

All you gotta do is take your time,
One day at a time
It's all on you
what you gonna do?

Oh you will see I'm so down and out
Cryin' every day
Don't know what to do or to say

Mmmm, Mmmm
oh, you must believe, you must believe
Hey yeah

(Chorus)
You gotta believe
Gotta believe, gotta believe in me
You gotta believe in me
(gotta believe me)
That I won't never hurt you
(repeat)

(Vs.1)
I told you once before
That I love you
And I need you
But let me tell you once again
You were my closest friend
I'll never leave you
So hold me tight 
All through the night
Caress me with your tender care
Anytime or anywhere

(Big Bub & Faith Evans)
Anytime, anywhere
I will go with you anywhere
(Please won't you trust me babe)
Won't you trust in me baby
Stay with me (stay, death do us part)
Till death do us part
You'll always be (oh, oh) right in my heart
Won't you please stay with me
Baby please believe in me (please believe in me)

(Chorus)

(repeat)

(K-ci)
Mary, Mary, I hear you loud and clear

Why don't you believe in me
Tell me why you don't see
That you can put your trust in me
And let me lead the way
Please baby take my hand
I don't need another man
But if you wanna hold on tight
You can not be afraid

(Chorus)

(Faith Evans)
Take Me boy by the hand (take me)
Let me make you understand
(Make you understand)
That I can never let you down
Baby just believe in me
(repeat)

Please believe

(Chorus)

Yeah, yeah
You gotta believe
Whoa, oh yeah

Can't live without you
(Can't live without you)
Can't live without you, baby
(Ohhh)
Can't live without you

(Chorus)
I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing

I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing

(Vs.1)
What is this feeling? I can't sleep at night
Just thinking 'bout being without you
Work 'til I'm tired and I can't eat a bite
'Cause I know someday is only...

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
I have the man that I want
I prayed so many nights for you and then my prayers came true
Now that I have the answer, I'll be wishing on a star
I'll follow you where you are

I don't wanna be alone so baby let's stay together
Through any kind of weather, yeah
Let's make a happy home because you mean so much to me baby
That's why I wanna be your lady

(Chorus) 2x's

I don't wanna be alone so baby let's stay together
Through any kind of weather
Let's make this a happy home because you mean so much to me baby
That's why I wanna be your lady

(Chorus)

Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(Baby, won't you stay?)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(Stay with me for a little while)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(All I wanna know is...)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(...can you stay?) 
Won't you stay with me?
I need you
Oh, I need you
I need your warm embrace
I need your sweet, sweet taste, baby
C'mon, c'mon. C'mon, C'mon
Stay with me
Stay, stay

Time on my hands
Since you been away boy
I ain't got no plans
No no no no
And the sound of the rain
Against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy

Chorus:
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down

Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you been gone
Everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh baby

Chorus

Oooh baby love
goin' down, goin' down
Mmm ooh I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I...

Chorus

Ooh, goin' down
Goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you
I'll be goin' down
I said I'll be goin' down
Oh, please forgive me baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, what did I do wrong?
Please forgive me baby
And come on home
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh baby
Oh oh thank you thank you
Oh this is my life (this is my life)
You are my life (you are my life)
You are my life
And I thank you (I wanna thank you)
Oh I thank you (I wanna thank you)
I thank you for that
For blessing me

(Vs.1)
I can't deal with the fact that
You don't want me around
Why you wanna see me down?

It's so unusual
That you don't love me no more
Why you wanna close the door?

I spent all my days and all my nights with you
Just tell me what am I gonna do without you
If loving you is so right
Tell me how I'll make it through the night
You know that I don't ever want to leave you

(Chorus)
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna be with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
(I wanna be with you)
I want to spend my life with you

(Vs.2)
Let's take this time to think about
what was said and done
Now tell me why you had to run

Away from me
Now I can't sleep at night
Why we had to fight

Everyday from you I look and I see something new
Now tell me what I got to do to get this through to you
It's the little things you do for me
That makes me very happy
You know that I don't wanna leave you

(Chorus)

It seams like each and ever time I come around
You don't want me there
And it's beginning to make me so scared
So scared that I might loose you
All I wanna do is be with you baby baby baby baby boy

(Chorus and adlibs until fade)

oh, no no no...

(Vs.1)
I know
That you're just a man
But you're all the man I need
And I know
That you care and you'll never leave
No, you'll never leave

(Chorus)
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere

(Vs.2)
You promised
That you never would cheat or lie
Lie to me, don't lie to me babe
And you promised
That you'd trust and believe in me
Please believe in me

Unnecessary pain (pain is pain)
Now tell me who would get the pain
(You know it hurts)
If we should go astray
What would we do
What would we say

(Chorus)

(During Chorus)
I wanna stay
You know I'll wait

I wanna stay
I'll try to wait on you, my dear
Baby you know, Baby you know
Baby you know, Baby you know
I wanna stay forever and a day

Oh, I love you
Oh, I need you
Everything is gonna be alright

You know I'll try to wait
I love you baby, love you baby yeahhh

(Hook)
Why can't we work it out
Why baby? can't we try (why, why, why, why, why)
You said our love would always stand the test of time
(repeat thru chorus)

Let's take our time
Let's build our love
Stronger than it ever was

(Chorus until fade)

Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Baby don't go

(Chorus)
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me
Don't go, don't go
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me
I love you so
(repeat)

(Vs.1)
I've been hurt before
Stay around for a while
Let's work it out
Let's try to make it happen
Don't do the things
That other guys did
To hurt me
They make me cry
Break my heart, oh why?

(Bridge)
I know you're a busy man
But you don't understand
How it feels to be alone
When times get hard and
I want to feel your
Sweet and tender touch
That's all I'm askin' baby
Cause I never asked for much
Oh, ohhh

(Chorus)

This may be a fantasy
That I dream of baby
Time and time again
I knew that we would be
More than friends
I gave you my heart
And all of my time
But now you're actin shady
Is it all in my mind?

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave me alone
I wanna be with you
Oh, oh, oh, Mmm, yeah oh oh oh
I wanna be with you
Yes I do, yes I do

You've got my heart boy (you've got my heart)
You are the only one (Oh, you're the only, only one)
If I can't be with you (if I can't be)
I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do)
(repeat)

You've got my heart
(Repeat 4x)

I wanna be your everything

Ohhhhh

(Chorus)
All those pretty memories,
I know you can hear me now
For the record,
I love you, I love you
(Repeat)

(Vs.1)
When I found out that you were leaving me,
I couldn't sleep thinking about
All the things that we've been through
Now all that I want to do
Is tell you that I, (I)
Miss you...so much...
(You know I really really miss you...)

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
Now that I'm on my own
I know that in time I'll find somebody new
(Who'll treat me better than you)
So I'll go all alone without you
But I still love you
You know I'll never live without you

(Chorus)

I wish you'd change your ways soon enough
So we can be together
You just don't understand good enough
But now all we have is memories...

(Chorus)
Memories we shared
No one else could compare
Ohh, I miss you, I miss you
Oh I miss you

...of the way we used to be,
Oh, those pretty memories

Oh.......
I miss you...
I miss you...
Oh, I miss you...
Ohh...

(Vs.1)
Many have called but the chosen are few
The best of the few is you
You know exactly what to do

Baby, your time is so perfect
Why in the hell I deserve it
Keep on doin' what you do

(Chorus)
No one else
No one else
Can do me like you do me

No one else
No, no one else
Can do me like you do me

(Vs.2)
Happy 1 plus happy 1 is 2
Happy 2 is me and you
Our love was meant to be

Yes, we have our up's and down's
But some how we came around
And we made each other love so free

Bridge:
Can't lie
Now I'm satisfied
Yes I'm satisfied
Even when I cry

Won't stray
Stray away from you
I would be a fool
You know these words are true

(Chorus)

(Repeat bridge)

(Chorus and adlib until fade)

(Vs.1)
How can I love somebody else
If I can't love myself enough to know
When it's time,
Time to let go
Sing

(Chorus)
All I really want
is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
(Repeat)

(Vs.2)
I ask for the sign
From the sweet Lord above
I know the answer is in front of me
But when you think you're in love
You only see what you wanna see
And all I see is me for you
And you for me

Oh I cannot hide the way I feel inside
(No I don't know why)
I don't know why but every day I wanna cry
(Every day I wanna cry)
If I give you one more try
To there rules, will you abide
And if I mean anything to you
Would it make everything all right

(Chorus)

I just wanna be so, so, happy
But the answer lies in me
I do believe
That we can be happy
I said I wanna be happy, yeah

(Vs.3)
Life is too short
To be tryin to play some games
Now take some time and think about
If it's really worth losing me
Why must it be this way
Why do you have to play with my mind
All the time
Help me sing it

All I really want is for me to be happy
Ohhh, just help me sing it
All I really want is for me to be happy
Yeahhhhhhh
All I really want is for me to be happy
Oh, you know I wanna be happy, yeah, yeah
~repeat through chorus~

I don't wanna have to worry about nothin no more
Said I wanna be, said I wanna be, said I wanna be
(Chorus)
