AND OUR FEELINGS

We fell in love
And who could blame us
The word was we were just beside ourselves
And everybody said it wouldn’t last
Now they wonder why we didn’t last

We fell in love
It seemed so righteous
Couldn’t compare our love to no one else
And everybody thought we could not win
It’s no wonder love came to an end

And our feelings
Just aren’t feelings anymore
They’re just words that come from whispers
From people we don’t know

And our feelings, yeah
Just aren’t feelings anymore
They’re just words without emotion
From people who don’t know, who don’t know

We fell apart
The bond was broken
Should’ve kept our thoughts between ourselves
And though they say they cared, they didn’t know
Makes me wonder should we blame ourselves

So here we are brokenhearted
What in the world have we done to ourselves
When everybody says to let it end
Well, it makes me wonder
We can’t let them win

And our feelings
Just aren’t feelings anymore (No)
They’re just words that come from whispers (Yeah)
From people we don’t know (Don’t you know that our feelings)

And our feelings, yeah
Just aren’t feelings anymore (Anymore)
They’re just words without (Without) emotion (Emotion)
From people who don’t know

If we’d only just try we can make it by
And maybe in time we could make it right
If we only had done what we should have done
We’d both be here still making love, oh

I wanna know that, that we can go back
Back to a time when the lovin’ was all that
When no one could come between our love

And our feelings
Just aren’t feelings anymore
They’re just words that come from whispers
From people we don’t know

And our feelings (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Just aren’t feelings anymore (No, no, no, no, no, no)
They’re just words without emotion
From people who don’t know (No, no, no, no)

And our feelings (Feelings, feelings, feelings)
Just aren’t feelings anymore (No more)
They’re just words (Just words) that come from whispers (From whispers)
From people (From people) we don’t know (We don’t know)

And our feelings (Whoa, oh)
Just aren’t feelings anymore (No, baby)
They’re just words without emotion (They’re just words, baby)
From people who don’t know

 

EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up
its gates for me and you

1-And every time I close my eyes
  I thank the Lord that I've got you
  And you've got me too
  And every time I think of it
  I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true
  That someone like you loves me too, yeah

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
Yes, you are, and you're every bit of a dream come true
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you
(repeat 1)

To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right that you be in my life
Right here with me, oh baby, baby
(rpt 1)


TALK TO ME

What must I say to you
To get inside your head
Why must you always think
I wanna get in your pants
And why I always gotta be
The closest thing to wrong
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need a woman to be strong
Well I ain't cryin', I ain't cryin'
Done 'bout run out of tears
But you're the closest thing to heaven
I need you to be near
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't make it more clear
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if I got you right here

Chorus
Ooo girl, talk to me
You're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is I want you for my woman
Ooo girl, speak to me
Let me hear you sayin' that you're
Stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you
I ain't nothin' at all

Why does everything I say to you
Have to be suspect
Feel like the only way I'll get with you
Somethin' blows off my head
Well I ain't tryin' to go out like that
I wanna keep myself clean
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need the strength from his queen
I ain't lyin', I ain't lyin'
Done 'bout run out of time
The only time I wanna do right now
Is feel you by my side
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't be more sincere
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if I got you right here

Chorus

Well I said everything's gonna be all right
When you stand by my side
Gonna work things out tonight
We're gonna make out just fine
For once I'd like for you to be
The one who has the faith in me
And I promise I won't
Let you down this time

Chorus

I SAID I LOVE YOU

Baby come to me
I will chase your tears away
Put your trust in me
Girl I swear I'll never change
Darling you will see
That my love is here to stay
I promise you, I will be true
From here and now, forever girl I

Chorus
I said I love you
I said I care
When I tell you I love you
It means I always will be there
I'll never leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart I will be there

Open up your heart 
Don't be afraid to love again
We can take it slow
You should know I understand
Baby take your time
And I don't care how long it takes
'Cause I promise you, I'm here for you
From here and now, forever girl I

Chorus

And I will be there
(and I will be there for you)
Forever sincere to you
(girl I'll always care for you)
I just wanna share my life with you
Right here, right now, forever girl I

Chorus

 

SIMPLE DAYS

I was born on the northside of a 
Midwestern town
There was nine of us living in a 
Three bedroom house
Didn't have much money, but we made do
'Cause Momma worked all day long
And Daddy did too
Did all they could
Made sure we had clothes and food
Went to public schools and we
Followed public rules
We used second hand books, but oh
I didn't mind the books
Momma taught us early in life
Everybody's gotta struggle sometime

Chorus
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said

Had a friend named Bobby
Who always kept his word
We went through schoolyard fights
Had a thing for pretty girls
Didn't cost much money
To see the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That's where all the girlies used to go
Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
'Cause Booby's girl she worked there
And sometimes she'd break the rules
Picnics in the summer
Wouldn't wake up 'till noon
And even though Bobby's gone now
I can still hear him laugh
In the middle of June

Chorus

Sometimes I sit, I wonder
I reminisce
I think of all the good times
That we had in our lives
Sometimes I can't get over
How wonderful those days were
Back in our lies
Simple days for simple times

 

SEVEN SEAS

Sitting by the window
All day thinking of you
Watching the days go by, I started to cry
But they weren't tears of sadness
They only meant I love you
And I wanna tell you girl that I, oh I

Chorus
I'll travel round the seven seas for you
It's written in the melody I adore you
I wrote my love a symphony
To show you there's nothing I won't do
Baby I'll walk around the China Wall for you
If there's a way I'll do it all for you
Anything you want me to
You know I would do

People think I'm crazy
They say I'm just a nothing
Letting my life pass me by
Believing you're with me
Well I can't speak for no one
But in my heart I know you love me
And that's why I'll always tell you I
Oh I, oh I, oh I

Chorus

Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Chorus

THE DAY (That You Gave Me A Son)

'Twas late December the news came
And I got so excited, I cried all day
And you were such a lovely, precious sight
When I saw our baby in your eyes

Chorus
It was like falling deep in love
I heard the angels cry above
I felt a blessing straight from God
The day that you gave me a son

I called 'bout everyone I knew
Just think, I'll be a father 'cause of you
There's no greater love than what you gave
A brand new baby on the way

Chorus

Oh such tears of joy, I've never known
I can't remember
It's like a song, I've never heard
I've never sung, but know the words

Chorus

 

HOW COME, HOW LONG

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love with the wrong kinda of man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world that could save life of this
little girl

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help she even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell our self
But no !it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda of man
And she paid with her life for loving that man
So we cannot ignore we must look for the signs
And maybe next time we must save somebody's life

Chorus

Trips to Venice, the man of steel when I'm in this
A match made in heaven when we blend this
Lovers everlasting in other words endless
To love any other man would be senseless

I CARE ABOUT YOU(avec K-Ci & Jojo, Melvin & Kevon Edmonds de After 7)

Sometimes I feel so alone
I call your heart
But there's no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I'm reaching out
But there's no one inside
It doesn't feel right, when I look in your eyes
I know love is blind, but the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time,
Maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl what's deep in your heart

Girl I care 'bout you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care 'bout you

I spend like all of my days
Trying to cess out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don't know what you want
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you're not home by design
But still I'm gonna try
You're the love of my life
In hopes that you will open your heart

Girl I care 'bout you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care 'bout you

Sometimes
I'm not sure
I'm all you've got
Sometimes I'm not sure if you love me or not
One thing I know
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want
Is that you care for me too

Girl I care 'bout you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care 'bout you

SLOWS JAM (avec SWV et Portrait - Q's Jook Joint de Q. Jones)

BABYFACE:
Baby dim the lights
So while I pour the wine
Zip the music up nice and slow
Wanna move with you inside a groove
Like no one's ever known
Let your body unwind and walk the mile
Tell me what you like
'Coz tonight I wanna turn you up to paradise

Sweet thang hold me close
Share my desire
And we can make the magic flow
Once the music is rocking

Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me with that tender dance (Baby get closer so we can feel the power of love)
Share my sweet groove the whole night through
Let me lay my beat on you (we'll keep the music playing movin' in time)

COKO:
Can we get a taste of some Babyface
And you know it'll be alright
'Coz the road that ends at Boyz II Men
Is the road that I wanna ride
We can go to the moon or give a Stevie tune
Fly ribbons in the sky
Give me everything R Kelly sings
Let us bump and grind

Baby feel the beat
Hear my heart
Move with me in ecstasy
Let the melody start

Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me with that tender dance (I wanna feel the passion so give me all you got)
Share my sweet groove the whole night through
Make tonight a dream come true (let's keep this groove thing going never never never stop)

BABYFACE:
It's something that feels so right
Take this side of your rhythm

ALL:

COKO:

COKO:
Sweet thang hold me close
