[No lyrics]

Baby girl, I wanna tell you real quick
I'm not your average kind of brother tryin' to be slick
I want something real
Something my heart can feel
But you told me that your heart again you'll never reveal

Let me change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, 'cause I'm qualified
Let me change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, 'cause I'm qualified

Baby girl, are ready for this?
Let me lay this lovin' on you like a whip
Don't you know, I wanna be in your midst
Wanna be the jam you pick all night, your favorite hit

Let me change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, 'cause I'm qualified
Let me change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, 'cause I'm qualified

I don't like the way he treats you
That's not the way that I would do you
What gives him the right to say
Its you that he owns

All those nights he left you to cry
Left you with nothing but tears in your eyes
Girl just come with me
'Cause this house is not a home

Girl he's over and gone
You don't have to hurt no more
And I'll be there for you
To give all the love you're yearning for

And you don't have to hurt no more, baby he's over
I'll be what you're looking for
Let me take over
And you don't have to hurt no more

I'll make you see
I'll be what you're looking for and more
So you don't have to hurt
You don't have to hurt

No more
How could he look into those pretty eyes
And hurt you, oh no
You don't have to hurt no more

Every day I see you with those sad eyes
You try so hard to hold back from all you cries
Just come with me
There is no reason for your broken heart to stand

Girl you're heart will heal from all the pain you feel
Just let me show you the real love you've been waiting for
Just close the door, you cannot take no more
There is no reason for

Girl he's over and gone
You don't have to hurt no more
And I'll be there for you
To give all the love you're yearning for

You don't have to hurt no more, baby he's over
I'll be what you're looking for
Let me take over
You don't have to hurt no more

I'll make you see
I'll be what you're looking for and more
So you don't have to hurt

You don't have to hurt, no more, baby he's over
I'll be what you're looking for
Let me take over
You don't have to hurt no more

I'll make you see
I'll be what you're looking for and more
So you don't have to hurt
You don't have to hurt, no more

He must be a fool to leave you alone

You don't have to hurt

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on, oh baby

Oh, I like it, when I'm deep inside of you
You sigh 'cause you feel the same way
Too excited, when I touch you there
Let the love take control
Of mind, body and soul, yeah

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
A feeling that's good just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on with my baby

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Me and you just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Girl you drive me crazy

If you like, I just might go down for you
Kissing, all over your toes 'til
Ooo, you know from pleasures never known before
Just relax, I'll do the things that keeps you coming
Coming back, yeah

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
A feeling that's good just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on with my baby

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Me and you just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Girl you drive me crazy

Girl you got me high from every time you ride
Me around and round, around in you heart, yeah
You're my living one, deep as any ocean
When or wherever we are, I'll just love it when

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
A feeling that's good just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on with my baby

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Me and you just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Girl you drive me crazy

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
A feeling that's good just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on with my baby

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Me and you just can't be wrong
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Girl you drive me crazy

Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
Gettin' it on, gettin' it on
...

What Kind Of Man Would I Be

You say you feel disenchanted

'Cause lately he takes you for granted

Still faithful and true you remained

And to her so divine

You pour out your heart and I listen

And we catch a vibe reminiscing

Temptation so strong not to mention

The yearning inside

Chorus:
But what kind of man would I be
If I lived unfaithfully
And what kind of girl would you be
If you did the same

'Cause I don't wanna see her cry
And you don't need a reason to lie

'Cause if we lay down tonight

It won't justify throwing love aside

This feeling is strong and we know it

But we gotta see past the moment

There's too much to loose if we flow it

This is no lie

But still here we are altogether

With promises made that we never

You're feeling it now more than ever

I can't deny

CHORUS

Here we are
All alone
But somehow we got to remain strong

CHORUS
Makes me wanna say oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just gotta say oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(fade)

Yeah, talkin' 'bout a real friend
Set your mind at ease baby
Ain't nothing wrong with that

I guess we both have seen some brighter days
Somehow the love we shared, has slipped away
Still I wanna be the one who keeps you safe and warm
Let me be the one

Although things with me and you didn't quite work out
For you there's this special place deep in my heart
Though I want it X'ed in my unconditional love
Let me be the one

Chorus:
If you need a friend
Let me be the one
Someone that you call
Wanna be the one
The one through it all
You don't have to fall
Just let me be the one
Let me be the one

Promises made they've all worn paper thin
Still honey I'm not afraid to call you friend
Take a look and I know you'll see the possibilities
Let me be the one

To see you smile, there's nothing I won't do
Cause honey I only want what's best for you
You are a shining star, just stay the way you are
Let me be the one

{Chorus}

{Chorus}

Let me be (4x)
I wanna be the one you need
Let me set your mind at ease
Nothing wrong with being a friend
Wanna be there til the end
I wanna be the one you need
Let me set your mind at ease
Nothing wrong with being a friend
Wanna be there til the end

Just let me be the one, let me be the one baby
Just let me be the one (3x)

[Intro:]
MC
Mint Condition hook you up
Ain't hooking me up enough (come on)
Ain't hookin' me up enough (Now that you got me, what ya gonna
Do with me?)
Ain't hookin' me up

[Verse 1:]
Started out so cool
Everything was all so new
Through the air passion flew like we were lovers

Use to be everyday of the week
Now all you wanna do is sleep
Seems I'm just hearin' one excuse after another (hey)

[Bridge 1:]
Wonderin' if I am the only
Feelin' deprived and feeling lonely
Or does that happen all the time

[Chorus:]
Ain't hookin' me up enough
Ain't hookin' me up enough baby
Ain't hookin' me up enough

Ain't givin' me (all your love)

Ain't hookin' me up enough
Ain't hookin' me up enough baby
Ain't hookin' me up enough
Ain't hookin me up

[Verse 2:]
Started out so good
We were doing it every chance we could
Now all I have is lonely night of reminisin' (reminisin' yeah)

I fuss and I fight to make you see
Don't wanna be unfaithful to thee
Temptation goes strong when I don't get no hugs and kisses (no,
No)

[Bridge 2:]
I don't know what more to do
Need to get more love from you
Got the thing of somethin' that'll blow you mind
Make you want it all the time

[Chorus]

[Jazz solo]

[Chorus:]
You know we use to play on uh Monday
You know you like it on Tuesday
You really love it on Wednesday
We be gettin' it on on Thursday
I really love it we do it on Friday
I really like it in the night time on Saturday
We take a break on Sunday
And get ready for Monday
Grab your hands

Our writhing filled with pleasure
And you agree

That endless love with you would be so sweet

Adlib Chorus til the end of song

The only never that's for sure

I said I'd never fall in love again
Just kinda happen like an accident
A head on collision
We fell in love

And I don't know what you did to me
Never knew just how good a love could be
The things I said I'd never do
I say them no more
Cause I found you

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

I tried to fight it every step of the way
But you are on my mind all damn night and day
I said I'd never let love have it's way
But things do change

The plan was for me to stay
Far from love
And find my way
But I don't know what to think or do
But that's alright
Cause I've got you

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

Cause you never know
Cause you never know
Never know
With the never that you never know

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

Cause you never know
Cause you never know
Never know
With the never that you never know

Cause you never know
Cause you never know
Never know
With the never that you never know

The only never that's for sure
Is the never that you never know
It's crazy just how love can go
With the never that you never know

Gots to raise up

People, tell me how are we supposed to live?
Together, well, with no harmony
Between us, tell me can we work it out?
And stop this war
We got to

Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up

So insane, that everyday, almost every way
Seems to get worse
Ain't tryin' to preach but I feel we all know
We got to get it together
Before the power people start to sweat ya
Assed you out, just press on and be devout

Don't want to shout and point the finger
'Cause I'm gonna start in my own mirror
Can we unite and stop the kill for you and me?
Can't we feel the sense of community?
We're still under seige
We gots to be free

Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up

Gots to raise up

For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up

Gots to raise up

I'd say that its going well
You and me

Feels like paradise
Our writhing filled with pleasure
And you agree

That endless love with you would be so sweet
So we should go

Chorus:

On and on and on and on and on
Let make it official girl
On and on and on and on and on
You know we can't go wrong cause
This is where we both belong
So let's go
On and on

Verse:

So let's keep that fire vibe all through
The end of our days

We'll argue then laugh about it later
Always

A real utopian love is waht it sounds like to me
A perfect flow
Why don't we go

Adlib Chorus til the end of song

I think that she like me, sometimes I don't think so
I feel like she needs me, sometimes I just don't know

I thought we were gonna get to go to bed
But she woke me up out of my dreams
She's keeps playing with my damn head
The things that she pulls, I just can't believe

Won't you spend the night, stop playin' with me?
Give me one chance, I'll make you never leave

Sometimes she wants to see me, other times I'm not sure
Sometimes she lets me kiss her, the next minute she's cold

If you ever let me touch ya
I know you'll let me touch ya more than twice
Baby be sure you'll wanna let me do it
Filling me would be the best thing in your life

I got some things that can make you see
I got some things make you wanna be with me
I got some shake that can make you right
I got some things baby, come on tonight

Won't you spend the night, stop playin' with me?
Give me one chance, I'll make you never leave
Won't you spend the night, stop playin' with me?
Give me one chance, I'll make you never leave

Won't you spend the night? Won't you spend the night?
Won't you spend the night? Won't you spend the night?

[Intro:]
Every hour of every day
Children come up missing

Crazy man who has no rights
Takes the life of young ones
On a weekend pass he asks,
"Hey, kid, do you want some candy?"

Crazy man proceeds to grasp
Young ones future in his hands
Keeps kids down and drives away
Left the town in dismay

[Chorus:]
Hear me cry (me cry)
In the night (the night)
Someone come and rescue me
The sun comes up (comes up)
No sign of us (of us)
And where I'm at's a mystery

Teach them now and show them how
So they won't come up missing

Peers and pressure go hand in hand
Every day's a moral task
Crazy man won't go away
Till the laws are passed to stay cagead

Search is on for kids at night
With first in mind a child's rights
Bend(?) to one and have no fear
Want everyone to steer clear of here

[Chorus]

Been through so many changes
Since you've been gone
Somehow I've got to find the strenght
Strenght to carry on

But if it wasn't for your love
Wasn't for your giving hands
If it wasn't for your love
Where would I be
