I'm shoutin' out to anyone
Who is affected by a funky groove
I'll tell you now, you're gonna feel it
No matter what you do, oh

So let me hear you say yeah, I like it
Say yeah, I like it
Wanna hear you say yeah, I like it
Yeah, I like it

You know we'll do it, 'til you're satisfied
And groove you 'til you've had enough, oh
Me and the boys be jammin'
We hope you don't mind, if we funk you up, oh

So let me hear you say yeah, I like it
Yeah, I like it
Everybody say yeah, I like it
Yeah-yeah, I like it

I wanna hear you say yeah, I like it
Say yeah, I like it
Yeah, I like it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes)

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, or maybe just a change of mind
Working on my constitution, I began to realize
I've been doin' wrong forever, trouble was my favourite game, yeah
Breakin' hearts I tought was so clever
But, I'm the one who got hurt playin'.

I never could see it comin', no
Never could feel it 'til its come and gone
But, all of that don't mean nothin', no
When you're all alone

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes)
You're lookin' at a transformation
That's brought about a change in me
Love's a brand new situation, never have I felt so free

'Cause I can see it comin' - yeah
And I can feel it callin' louder. Now
Lovin' is so rewarding - yeah
When you let it out


Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes, sometimes x4)

I was born in the city
There's no flies on me
Life can't deliver
No surprise to me
Got a head full of trouble
The world's weight on my back
I'm a fighter
I survive like that

I'm a modern enigma
I am living proof
Cold eyes speaking volumes
Of my troubled youth
I believe in the future
From mistakes I have grown
Leaving the shadows
Which were once my home

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Been so long in the bitter
City air I breath
Seen a million believers
Cry in disbelief
I won't give in to the pressure
Keep my spirit intact
'Cause I know when I need you
You will watch my back

CHORUS:
Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need light to bring me closer
To your shelter
Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

They can't take you away from me
When they try it only makes me stronger
Through the dark it's your light I see
Helping to show me the way

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Repeat Chorus Once

You'll be cryin water water
You'll be cryin water

My car's outside
but before I go I'd like to say
What's on my mind and why
Ya got to know I just can't stay

If it's true what they say
'bout your good thing going away

CHORUS
Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

You'll be cryin water water
You'll be cryin water
You'll be cryin water water
You'll be cryin water

Now you know you're wrong
but it's much too late to make it right
It won't be long
before you understand this is goodbye

Cause it's true what they say
'bout your good thing goin' away

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water(repeat)

And like a dying man
Without a drop to drink
On the desert sand
In the burning heat
He thinks of all the days
When his thirst was quenched
Now he prays for shade and
Just pretends

Cause it's true what they say
'bout your good thing goin' away

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

Then you'll be crying water all alone
Soon as you realize that what you had is gone
And you'll be trying not to make it harder
So you'll be crying water

Together we got love, we got peace
Together we got everything we're ever gonna need

I don't know what you can call it
All I know is that it works
Here's the funny thing about it, sugar
Sometimes it feels so good it hurts

We've got a lover's fascination
Keeps getting better all the time
There's no sweeter sweet sensation
Than knowing what we've got is right

Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace

We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day

Baby, we ain't missin' nothin'
What we have is tried and true - ooh
And we know that this is somethin'
We don't ever wanna lose

We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time

We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day
We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day

Together we got love, we got peace
Baby we got everything we're ever gonna need
Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace

We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time

We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day
We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day

Together we got love, we got peace
Baby we got everything we're ever gonna need
Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace

Day by day, day by day...

It's not just another everyday night
When we get together, baby sparks fly
It's more than a friendship, it's deeper than that
Like the force of an engine, on a jumbo jet

And when we get close, it's just like a high
And then before we know, it's only you and I

This feels like right, tonight
'Cause the love we make is passion
And we can't deny that burnin' fire

This feels like right, tonight
When we get this close to heaven
It's a paradise so hard to find

It's somethin' we're keepin', just between us
But, there are no secrets, whenever we touch
It don't take a psychic, or readin' a book
And as long as we like it, 'cause baby it's all good

Cause when we get close, it's just like a high
And then before we know, it's time for you and I

This feels like right, tonight
'Cause the love we make is passion
And we can't deny that burnin' fire

This feels like right, tonight
When we get this close to heaven
It's a paradise so hard to find

Highest High
Deep inside
Lifts you up, sets you free like nothing else can.

Highest High,
Highest High,
Takes you there, brings you back again

Big dreams never sleep, no
I made a promise to myself I've got to keep, I...
I was down for something,
always looking outside for the one thing I could feel.

But when my faith was under fire,
I never turned around
and never once backed down
from my desire
my heart and soul
still had control
and I knew I...

I had the highest high
that power deep inside
that lifts you up, and sets you free like nothing else can.
Highest High
Love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again.

Ever since that day, yeah
I know I'll never feel alone or be afraid, I...
I was on a mission,
on a search for fear,
trying to find the reason for the trouble that I've been.

But when my faith was under fire,
I never turned around
and never once backed down
from my desire
my heart and soul
still had control
and I knew I...

I had the highest high
that power deep inside
that lifts you up, and sets you free like nothing else can.
I got the highest High
Love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again.

I got the highest high
that power deep inside
that lifts you up, and sets you free like nothing else can.
I got the highest High
Love is the highest high
That takes you there and brings you back again.

I'm high I'm so high
Feet don't touch the ground
head's up in the clouds
I'm high I'm so high
Feet don't touch the ground
head's up in the clouds

I was down for something,
that so for real
always looking outside for the one thing I could feel.
and when my faith was under fire, fire...
I never turned round, and...
I never backed down, yeah...

You're the future, and you've come for what is yours
The hidden treasure, locked behind the hidden doors
And the promise of a day that's shiny new
Only a dreamer, could afford this point of view
But you're a driver, not a passenger in life
And if you're ready, you won't have to try 'cause

You are the Universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do

You're a winner, so do what you came here for
The secret weapon, isn't secret anymore
You're a driver, never passenger in life
And when you're ready, you won't have to try 'cause

You are the Universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do

You are the Universe
And there ain't nothin' you can't be
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, and I believe in me

(Yes I do
Believe in you
I do)

You're a driver, not a passenger in life
And when you're ready, you won't have to try 'cause

You are the Universe...

No, you cannot stay for the night
I'm not your anytime you want me delight
I've been healing both my body and mind
Found the courage that can free me this time

We're playin' by a new set of rules
Baby these were not designed for some fool
See, I've taken all that I'm gonna take
It's the rest of my life that's at stake

So, don't you come around drinkin' high and thinkin'
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, you're so wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in, do the talkin'
Puttin' your hands where they don't belong, they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby - stay gone, you can stay gone

I'm no longer falling apart
See, I finally got you out of my heart
And if I ever think of taking you back
You'll remind me how I feel about that

So don't you come around drinkin', high and thinkin'
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, oh yeah damn wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in do the talkin'
Puttin' your hands where you know they don't belong, no, no they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby, you, you, you - you can stay gone
(You can stay gone...)

I don't need the smooth talk on a good night
Doin' just fine, doin' alright - stay gone
(I don't need you, no)

I don't need the false hope, or the bad dope
Or the rough love, had enough of it - stay gone

You can't be a no show, whem I'm real low
It's a no blow, it's a no go - stay gone, stay gone...gone

So don't you come around drinkin', sad and steamin'
Baby let me tell you
I won't work this time
It ain't gonna work no
Ain't gonna work no
I'm tired of letting you hurt me, scream and curse me
Baby, that pain is more than you're worth
Today is gonna be my day, find you a highway
Hear me baby, stay gone - you can stay gone

You can stay, out there, somewhere
I don't care, I don't care - stay gone
(You don't believe it)

You can take a slow boat or a long road
To a fast plane, to a slow train
Stay gone, stay gone - you can stay gone

Do you have a minute, I've got something on my mind
I'm gonna make it clear now, let me lay it on the line
You're giving me the runaround dishonestly and lies
The time has come to hear me out & recognise the fact

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Just the other night I overheard you on the phone
Whispering sweet nothings
Guess you thought you were alone
Well, you might think that I am blind
But hear me when I say
I can see right through you and your double crossin' ways

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss
Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

After all that we've been through
I can't believe you'd be untrue
Still you're telling me our love can grow
So you better let it show

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss
Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay...
