"Reconsider (U Betta)"

"Reconsider (U Betta)"


Please forgive me
I don't know what to say except I'm sorry
To scare you away from me
I get crazy and don't know what I've done
It's all hazy
Thought we were having fun
Was it so bad
You feel you had to leave me, baby
Now that you're gone
I need to belong, believe me baby

[Chorus:]
I would be so glad
If you would reconsider and stay
Reconsider, reconsider, reconsider

Baby's cryin'
It'so cold in our place
Inside I'm dyin'
We need the smile on your face
Don't need no money
I don't need no girlfriends
Want my daddy
To love me again and again and again and

[Chorus]

Sometimes honey
I know I talk too loud
Short temper
I'm apt to cuss you ou
I don't mean it
Passion gets the best of me
Still I love you
And I feel like you love me too

[Chorus]

If you walk out that door
You betta reconsider this
If you don't call me no more
You betta reconsider, reconsider that
Reconsider
If you think you were lonely before, you betta
Reconsider, reconsider this
That I changed the lock on this door, you betta
Reconsider that
If you stop payin' these bills, you gotta
Reconsider
I betcha somebody will, you betta
Reconside

"Roll Me Through The Rushes"

"Roll Me Through The Rushes"



Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Guide me to the new woman who waits
Current, leave me on the banks
By the cottage
Wher we will dine with silver cups
And golden plates

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

I've prepared for my last journey
You know I've worked all my life
To make this basket strong
But a woman alone on a river
She can't stay in the water too long

I've been chilled, I've lost my will
And I've stayed away from rivers
Much too long
I really must stay in this dirty dirty city
Till I found out that my strength was gone

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Just like Moses

Make my journey, make it short in space
Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord
Water, wash away all traces of hate
I will do what you say
If you just show me how, river

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes
Just like Moses on the Nile

River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)

"Round Midnight"

"Round Midnight"



It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.

Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.

When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.

Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.

Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....

"Sign 'O' The Times"

"Sign 'O' The Times"



Oh yeah

In France, skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
Soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Tellin' you somebody died

Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
They were sending rockets to the moon
September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Time, time, yeah

It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still want to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why?

Time, time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if the night falls and a bomb falls
Then everybody sees dawn

Time, time

It's silly now, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly, yeah
Until he dies, oh why?

Time, time, time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy

Time, time
Everybody, yeah
Sign o' the times
??
Time, sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)"

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)"


Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if you love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean

Seen lot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing for this girl
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

[Chorus:]
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean

Oh baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

"Sleep On It"

"Sleep On It"


[Chorus:]
(We've got to) Sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright
If we just sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright

Tonight there will be no more quarrelling
We'll shut out the lights, close our eyes
I don't know how this started
I don't know why we fight
I'll appologize for all the unkind things
I said to you
Why can't I see what's right for me
Might not be right for you

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
People are gonna think
What they what to think
Feel what they want to feel
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna see you compromise
The things that shine
The brightest in your eyes
Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to them tight

"Slow Dancin'"
(feat. Rick James)

"Slow Dancin'"
(feat. Rick James)



I catch your reflection
Through smoke filled ayes
I begin my inspection
And I'm watchin' you
Your smooth syncopation
You synthesize
Your beatin' vibration
Makes me watchin' you

[Bridge:]
(And) If I smiled at you
Would you walk away
Or would you have this dance with me

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Yeah, just you and me, baby, oh babe

Something about your freaky ways
Gives me a shiver
I watch you
You're a smooth operator
With sexy eyes, in anticipation
I watch you (I watch you, too)

[Bridge]

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
So fine (Slow dancin')
Oh baby, slow (Slow dancin')
And goin' low (Slow dancin')
Oh just you and me

Oh you dance with, oh you dance with
Oh you dance with, oh you dance with me
Just round and round, and dance slow

La la la slow, la la la dancin'

Slow dancin', slow dancin'
Slow dancin', just you and me, babe

Dance with me, dance with me, baby, oh
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'
Just you and me

Baby, just one slow dance
Baby, just one slow grind
Baby, let's get down low
And see what we will find
Baby, just one slow dance
Let's give it just one slow grind
Chaka just get down low
And see what we will find

[Bridge]

Dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
Just you and me

(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') You and me, babe
(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'

"So Close"

"So Close"



You've been keeping me in limbo
Playing hide and seek
You've been teasing me 'cause you know
That it makes me weak

You've done everything to fall in love
I know what you're running from
Kisses like these are few and far between

Now we're so close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move, with every touch
You're wearing down my resistance

You know your lonely days are numbered
There's nothing you can do

There'll be no more keeping us apart
I'm ready for the love to start
I can almost feel it breaking through

Now we're so close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
I'm wearing down your resistance

I wanna get closer, closer to you
I can almost feel it breaking through

So close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
I'm wearing down your resistance

So close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every touch and every move
You're wearing down my resistance

"So Naughty"

"So Naughty"


At the gypsy's eye
When the moon is high
And the mood is right for dancing, romancing

While Michael Wails
In his baggy tails
Makes it all seem so enhancing for dancing

[Chorus:]
Oh you're so naughty
Oh with your body
Oh you're so naughty
I wanna get naughty with you
If you want me to

All those fools out there
Could they be aware
I just need someone to come home to
But you are so rare, I don't even care
'Cause I got you to roam with

Could I be dreamin'
Am I with you
My heart is screamin'
Could this be true
Let's keep it goin'
Our love is rare
Let's keep it growin'
We're almost there

"So Not To Worry"

"So Not To Worry"



You think she's really waiting
I heard a different tune
You'll let her think he wants her
And I think she wants him too

What she don't know won't hurt her
She's got her secrets too
She doesn't know about me
The feeling's up to you, up to you

So not to worry
Don't be afraid, not tonight
It's all the same, love
I'm in no hurry and
If we make love, it's alright

Alright (tonight)
Alright (tonight)

Bring back the day I met you
We knew it then, my love
You smiled goodbye, then told me
That your time was not your own
I see you five years later
Two thousand miles away
You left her for a mission
And I left him for the same
For the same

So not to worry
Don't be afraid, not tonight
It's all the same, love
I'm in no hurry and
If we make love, it's alright

Well, well, well, well
My, my, my, my

So much for being faithful
We've let them down again
I wasn't very helpful
And you didn't stop my hand
Stop my hand, oh

So not to worry
When we made love, it felt right
It's all the same, love (all the same, oh)
We didn't hurry (we didn't hurry)
If when we made love, it felt right, alright
So not to worry
If we make love, it's alright

(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (aw, feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (aw, it feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (oooh, feels so good babe)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (alright, feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (oh, feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (aw, it feels so good, feels so good)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (oh, it feels so good, baby babe)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (oh it's alright)
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe
(Alright) It's alright, tonight's the night
That you're gonna love me babe (ohh)
