You say you've seen too many things,
that turn out to be too good to be true.
Against your better judgment, opened up your heart,
'til you found the joke was on you.
Looking out on the rest of our lives,
If we're gonna be together or apart
About the only way I know how to come,
is right straight from my heart.
I want you now,
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around,
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me.
Say you'll never fall again
You won't subject yourself to such pain
If you give me half a chance I will
Never leave you standing out in the rain
But if you think that I could look you in your face and lie right
through my teeth
then turn around and walk away
Cross my heart, girl I care for you and when I look into your eyes i
must say...
I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
cause you're the only one for me

I always will
cause you're the only one for me

"The Rest Of My Life"

"The Rest Of My Life"


It's 3 in the morning
I can't be dreaming
I' m wide awake
watching you sleeping
and I realise
there's no place
that I'd rather be

I reach put to touch you
my heart starts to race
at the touch of your skin
there ain't no mistake and I'm lost in your eyes
I see all that i need to see
I'm feeling new things everytime that I hold you
I'm telling you things
I would never have told you

[hook:]
I'm feeling my feet coming off
off the ground
I wasnt looking
But lok what I found
I wasn't so sure at the start
Now I wanna be there wherever you are
and I can't deny
How you got me feeling inside

[chorus:]
If you think this is
as good as it gets
I swear you haven't seen nothing yet
I promise you I'm
gonna love you
the rest of my life
My life

You turned a kiss when
no one could find the taste of your lips
I get so excited
I'm losing my mind
The way that
it's supposed to be
mmmmmmm
Everything that we do
Is a thing worth repeating
I only think of you
When my heart is beating

[hook:]
I'm feeling my feet coming off
off the ground
I wasnt looking
But look what I found
I wasn't so sure at the start
Now I wanna be there wherever you are
and I can't deny
How you got me feeling inside

[chorus:]
If you think this is
as good as it gets
I swear you haven't seen nothing yet
I promise you I'm
gonna love you
the rest of my life

[bridge:]
You cannot show
through the pain
I didnt know what I wnated
Thank you for changing my life

I wasn't so sure at the start
Now I wanna be there wherever you are
and I can't deny
How you got me feeling inside

[chorus:]
If you think this is
as good as it gets
I swear you haven't seen nothing yet
I promise you I'm
gonna love you
the rest of my life
My life

It's 3 in the morning
I can't be dreaming
I' m wide awake
watching you sleeping
and I realise
there's no place
that I'd rather be

"Thinkin' Bout Me"

"Thinkin' Bout Me"



Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Today is your wedding day
And that's a beautiful thing
No use in me going into
The way things used to be
How I cared for you
You cared for me
And that wasn't that long ago
But I can't help but smile
As you walk down the aisle
Cause there's one thing I know, hey-hey

Every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me, yeah

I know you think it's easier
To lie to yourself
Even got yourself believing
You're better off with somebody else
So you sacrifice for security
Cause your impatient self did run away from me
And you settle for
The first thing through the door
When you know what you want is me

Every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me, yeah

I know he thinks you're crying
Cause it's the happiest you've ever known
But girl you'd just be lying
Cause what he doesn't know
You're strong for me
You belong to me
And here's the one last chance for you to go

Cause every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
It may not be tomorrow
But there will come a day
But when you realize I hope its not too late
Cause things won't be the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

"Till I Get Over You"

"Till I Get Over You"


I remember the way you used to
Touch me all time
I told you how I was
The luckiest man alive
And now I hear you showin' off
Your new boy, frontin'
Like everything's all right
I'll be damned if I let you know
That I still
Find it hard to sleep at night

[1] - Outside I'm smiling
Inside I'm crying
I just keep denying
Till I get over you

[Repeat 1]

Endless times I stayed up
All night, waiting for you to call
Lying to myself
'Cause, you aren't thinking 'bout me at all
My eyes are holding back the tears
My pride won't let you see me act a fool
Cuz I'll be damned if I let you know
That I still feel something for you

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1]

Can't forget the way we touched
(Every day, every night, baby)
And the way we used to make love
(I still remember how it feels)
Baby, but now it's over and you're gone
(I've got to say goodbye)
Because I know, I can't go on without you

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Try Our Love Again"

"Try Our Love Again"


Its been so long since I touched your face
Its been so long since I had a taste
Its been so long since I had you here with me
Its been so long since our yesterdays
Its been so long since you went away
Its been so long I never thought I'd ever see you again

[1] - So that's why, girl I don't wanna let you go
That's why, feel this time I'll let you know
That's why, babygirl don't tell me no
Why don't we try our love again?
So that's why, you're the one that I should be with
That's why, miss you more than a little bit
That's why, think I've had about enough of this
Why don't we try our love again?

It's been so long it's been quite a while
It's been so long since I seen that smile
It's been so long since I held you close to me
It's been so long so much has changed
It's been so long girl I take the blame
It's been so long but I knew someday I'd see you again

[Repeat 1]

I used to have you here with me
I think about you constantly
And I just had to let you know
Cant remember why I let you go
But here we got us a second chance
The answers are our true romance
And we don't have to be alone
Its time for you to come on home

[Repeat 1]

"Trying Not To Fall Asleep"

"Trying Not To Fall Asleep"


[Verse 1:]
My eyelids are getting very heavy
My will to stay away is getting weak
As I lay here tonight
Mama's turning out the light
I know that there is so much more to see

[Chorus:]
If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something
A shooting star or something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall asleep

[Verse 2:]
Whatever's going on outside my window
I'm not tall enough to look out there and see
When things go bump in the night and I'm terrified from fight
I thank God that I have Teddy lying next to me

[Chorus:]
If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something
A shooting star or something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall asleep

If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something
A shooting star or something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall...
I'm just trying not to fall...
I'm just trying not to fall asleep

"U Turn"
(feat. Fabolous & Six John)



Mommi, you got a minute
Just wanted to say I love the way your linen
Is huggin' your hips, one dimple when your grinnin'
No pretendin', I'm here to put my bed in
(My bed in)

For real thats no kiddin'
(Nope)
Complex fantasy, thoughts are forbidden
Just save those playful thoughts for the children
(Yeah)
Six John, Mr. McKnight is about business

She's super fly but she don't know it
She might be mad but she don't show it
She stands alone above the rest
She makes me pass the gamma test
She hurts the lies but she don't tell it

I wanna be loved, I wanna be right
I wanna lay up with the same somebody every night
I wanna be one, I wanna be real
I've got someone who feels the same way that I feel

I'm lookin' for a U-turn girl, from up around the way
U-turn girl, every night and every day
U-turn girl, if I never do the personality
U-turn girl, sounds good to me, good to me, good to me

Yo I double back, 360 degrees spin it
Two-a-smooth steering wheel one finger in it
Nineteen's a touch, twenties' a rub, twenty one's on that luxury
It's more than enough, pull up with a

Your body kept it up, I never went Hollywood
Just stepped it up
So what I speak you should see it is true
She loved the Modena but never seen 'em in blue!
(yeah

You make me work but not that hard
I might just let her drive my car
'Cos she won't go disrespectin' me
She'll be my queen and come with me
She'll be the one to give my all

I wanna be loved, and I wanna be right
I wanna lay up with the same somebody every night
I wanna be one, I wanna be real
I've got someone who feels the same way that I feel

I'm lookin' for a U-turn girl, from up around the way
U-turn girl, every night and every day
U-turn girl, the attitude of a personality
U-turn girl, sounds good to me, good to me, sounds good to me

U-turn girl, good to me
She's a U-turn girl, good to me, good to me
U-turn girl, good to me
[Incomprehensible] U-turn girl, U-turn girl

Slow down rock be killin' 'em
I think I'm ready to wake up with the same somebody
So when they ask in the interviews, I can name somebody
I used to gang some hotties
And get right without gettin' the names from hotties, but

I'm bustin' a U-turn out the player lane
Still struttin' smooth without the player cane
Never Fabolous Brian McKnight connection
Two brothers that's throbbin' in the right direction

I'm lookin' for a U-turn girl, from up around the way
(Up around the way)
U-turn girl, every night and every day
U-turn girl, the attitude of a personality
U-turn girl, sounds good to me, good to me, good to me

U-turn girl, from up around the way
U-turn girl, every night and every day
U-turn girl, the attitude of a personality
U-turn girl, sounds good to me, good to me, good to me
Hey yeah, hey

"Uh Oh Feeling"

"Uh Oh Feeling"



So long is the night
Without you by my side
To feel you breathe
So selfishly, oh mine
Feeling come alive
When I look into your eyes
Feel you reach
Way down deep inside

You're my world (my only)
You're my girl (my only)
Everytime your lips meet mine
Girl, girl you give me that (you give me that)
You give me that
Uh-oh feeling

Ohhhh
You make me ohhh
And I'd never felt this way

You've always find a way
To brighten up my day
Joy you bring
Makes everything alright
Everytime you call my name
You'd always starts the flame
Up and down
And all around my spine

You're my world (my only)
You're my girl (my only)
Everytime your lips meet mine
Girl, girl you give me that (you give me that)
You give me that
Uh-oh feeling

Ohhh
You make me ohhh
And I'd never felt this way
For you all the life I've paid
Baby all that I can say
Is ohhh

You make me ohhh
And I'd never felt this way
Ohhh
You make me ohhh
And I'd never felt this way
I-I'd never felt this way

"Unhappy Without You"

"Unhappy Without You"


[Verse 1:]
Girl we've really need to drop it out
Somethings I know I need to say out loud
And we talk about it
There are matters what you need to know
And how you act determines where we go
So here we go

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be all by my self
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you
I don't want nobody else
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you

I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
Without you, out you

[Verse 2:]
I hate it when you turn it off and on
When the mornin' love is right then you turned of and the day is gone
It's like a cycle through what's going on
It almost like we don't want it
I'm losing you and I don't know why

[Bridge:]
Used to feel so good and
Used to be so right and
Used to make love to me every single night
Girl, how can we get back to
That blessful energy
You gotta give me everything
If you wanna be with me

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be all by my self
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you
I don't want nobody else
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you

[Sing]

I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
Without you, out you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
Without you, out you

[Bridge:]
Used to feel so good and
Used to be so right and
Used to make love to me every single night
Girl, how can we get back to
That blessful energy
You gotta give me everything
If you wanna stay with me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be all by my self
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you
I don't want nobody else
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you

I don't wanna be all by my self
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you
I don't want nobody else
But I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you, out you

I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
Without you, out you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
I can be unhappy without you
Without you, out you

"Up Around My Way"

"Up Around My Way"


[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[verse]
Michael Angelo would faint
Rembrandt would cry
To stand in line for a lock of your hair
I'd fly around around the world
Just to be close to you
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way [repeat]

Just tell me what I should do
Tell me what I should say
Rub me I'm your genie
Your wish is my command right away
Can we talk about it
Lady can we get together
I'm free, I'm free

[rap part]
Left of the sun
Right of the moon
You're hotter than the fourth of July
Ah oooh
One taste of your sweet sweet lips
Will have me doing cartwheels and flips
Kinda shy to say that I'm sweating you
Judging by the smile on your face
Says I'm getting through
You no rush, come will the day
You come around my way
Come on

[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[repeat and fade]
