"Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart"

"Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart"


I know you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
And if you just shut the door
I would not be surprised

Even though I know you've heard it
These words I'm tryin' to say
I think the others only flirted
With the true meaning of always

[Chorus:]
Well you can say what you wanna
But I ain't gonna
Stop this journey to the center of your heart

I see the candle through your window
It burns there every night
The shadow leaves an innuendo
Of no one holdin' you right

Many nights I've dreamt you near me
But awakened to you gone
I know one day you'll hear me
I don't care how long

[Chorus]

I've waited a lifetime baby
Just to know your name
We've done everything in our minds
Let's stop the game, lets stop it

Even though I know
You've heard these words I'm tryin' to say
Somehow I think these others
They only flirted with the true meaning of always

"Keep Givin' Me Lovin'"

"Keep Givin' Me Lovin'"


Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'

Time after time, I've pondered this love that I'm feeling
I feel so divine
It must be a crime
Don't take it away

[Bridge:]
More than a few told me "I love you"
Now I know better
When it got down to you
Somehow I knew
My number was up for some sweet sweet lovin'

[Chorus:]
Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
I'm talkin' 'bout lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'

You've captured this girl, rockin' my world ya got me reelin'
Ain't no future with another
You're my one and only lover
Come on and stay

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Is it any wonder I want you so
Only you can satisfy my need
Can't you see my hunger won't let you go
Babe you belong to me, just to me

"La Flamme"

"La Flamme"


(Back to me)

Lovers walk off on each other
Brothers go their separate ways
You wake up somewhere in the middle
Wonderin' why nobody stays

You are a child of wild desires
When you're innocence leaves, yeah
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight
(What, what, what, what'cha gonna do for me)

You thought her love was too good
But she's the reason for your pain
But hey I'm gonna make you happy
I'll never let you hurt again
Almost killed you with her honesty
Back when you innocently stayed
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
(Ain't, ain't, ain't nobody) Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Oh, set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

Tonight, make it happen for real
Make your fantasies happy, completely
Come stay with me, stay with me

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything tonight
J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
My nomme is Chaka Khan
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll, I'll take care of everything

[French Lyric Translations:]
J' m'appel La Flamme / My name is The Flame
Ooh ce soir / Ooh tonight
‡ c'est mon nomme / That's my name

"Life Is A Dance"

"Life Is A Dance"


[Chorus:]
Life is a dance, life is a dance
Life is a dance, life is a dance

Everywhere coast to coast
Around the land
We all have one thing in common
We all love to dance
In and out of discos, crazy lights
Keep on movin' all through the night

[Chorus]

Why don't you listen
Listen to the groove
I am sure enough sure you'll find
Just the rhythm, the rhythm of your soul
Dance to the music keepin' steady time

[Chorus]

Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance to the music on crazy lights
Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance

"Love Has Fallen On Me"

"Love Has Fallen On Me"



Love is a burning inside
I never had this feeling before, no
All I know is that it won't let me be myself
Hey, is this really love
Oh maybe that's the reason
I feel so good when you're around
(Feel so good when you're around)

Why can't I remember
The day I melted before your charms
Oh was it way back in September
When you held me in your arms
Now that I see that you're the one for me
It's no more a mystery
Love has fallen down on me
Ooh I'm in love with you

Love has fallen on me
Now I really see
Love has fallen on me

Oh what tender love you bring
No, it's not a game
Oh what tender love you bring
No, it's not a game
Hey what tender love you bring
I fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

One day in September love came falling down on me
One day in September love came tumbling down on me

Ooh what tender love you bring
Oh now Lord I can't, no no,
And I can't believe my eyes
No no one day in September,
It came on down
Oh fallin' down, love came falling all around

I fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

"Love Of A Lifetime"


Love of a lifetime

Good for you (heart of change)
Got to be the heart of change

I know we'll get it better
Stir it up (got to be)

You're such a rock steady lover, baby
Keep up the good love for Chaka
You can hold it, boy
'Cause you don't let it go

I know where you're comin' from
We can steal
And baby, we'll hit and run together

We got the love of a lifetime
Ooh, we're such rock steady lovers, baby
Keep up the good love together

"Love With No Strings"

"Love With No Strings"



I, I can't explain
How ya got inside my system
But I feel the sweetest pain
I, I can't do that
But I got to break this tension
If it makes you feel the same

An ordinary woman
That's all I am
And I think I'm falling
For an ordinary man

Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I can only try
To make a love with no strings
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We're making love with no strings
No conductor
Could've played this situation
Better than a fool or millionaire
I won't tie you down
With a little love and affection
All I wanna do is share

A little time together
Maybe holding hands
An ordinary woman
And an ordinary man

Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I could say goodbye
And we'll always be friends
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We got a love with no strings

"Love You All My Lifetime"

"Love You All My Lifetime"


Cold endless summer days
Since you went away
Tore my heart in two
And now wandering through the night
I see the city lights
Feelin' so in need
I'll never be at peace

[Chorus:]
Love you all my lifetime
Lost to you eternally
Everything in my life
Tells me we were meant to be

Strange there's always something wrong
Dreams don't last that long
What part did I play in that game
And now, now you turn away
Excuses are too late
Feelin' so in need, i'll never be at peace

[Chorus]

You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky

"Make It Last"

"Make It Last"



Come on and stay with me for a little while
Hey can't we spend some time together
You look so good to me and I like your style
Come on let's make it last forever

I'm not an ordinary woman
I just want to love you with all my might
You better believe that I'm a good one
And I wanna guarantee I'll treat you right

Come on and stay with me for a little while
Come on and spend some time together
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make you smile
Hey can't we make it last forever

I know that love's a gamble
Puttin' all my lovin' on the line
There ain't a man that I can't handle
Give me your love, and I'll give you mine

"Move Me No Mountain"

"Move Me No Mountain"


Just as sure as I live
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so

[Chorus:]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just say you love me, baby
Long, strong and true
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do

Fill my life with your love
You're my bread, you're my wine
Fill my life with your love
And I'll fill yours with mine
You'll never hear me cry
Tears of regret
It's fine with me if all I see
Is all I get
Oh

Just say you love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true

Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide

Just love me, baby
Say that you do
Just love me, baby...
