"Run"
(with Mica Paris)

"Run"
(with Mica Paris)



I live my life
Just the way that I wanted to
I do what I like
I only move how I want to move

Well excuse me please for saying
You know I don’t want to complain but
It seems to me that you need
A little time on your own, so

Run run away you run
Don’t look back don’t come back no more
Ain’t gonna be the one to live like that
So don’t call me back no more

I opened my eyes
I didn’t know I was hurtin’ you
I swallow my pried
‘cause when you’re gone I’ll be missing you

You took your time to see
All that you had in me
I don’t really need to stay
I ain’t gonna live this way, so

Run run away you run
Don’t look back don’t come back no more
I ain’t gonna be the one to live like that
So don’t hold me back no more

Time on my own
It showed me just what I need
All that I have I would give
To get back to you

I don’t know what to believe
But I would love it to be true

If you come back to me
I’d show you all I feel

Run run I’m gonna run
To your arms
I’m coming back oh oh
I ain’t gonna be the one to hold you back
And live like that no more

I can live like that
I said run run I’m gonna run

"Same Woman"
(with Jackie Barnes)

"Same Woman"
(with Jackie Barnes)



She keeps in her car about a thousand hair clips
All of them bent to the roof
As she runs out the room leave her cloths on the floor
Trying hard not to look too loof
She adds her lipstick and pouts
If times running out
And a mirror with not enough light
It don’t seem like she sees
The same woman as me tonight

With a sigh and a frown as she turns her top down
And her high heels are touching the ground
And she feels so alone as she sits by the phone
Where there’s so many people around
She has the eyes of an angel
She looks so amazin’
With a figure that lights up the night
It don’t seem like she sees
The same woman as me tonight

‘Cause I want to tell her not to worry
Sometimes love takes time
And I’m gonna try my best to she her
That she’ll always have mine
And I’ve been waitin’ for a life time
And the girl I see tonight
Will do just fine

When the suns coming up and she leaves in a rush
With the sun glasses hiding her eyes
And she walks out the door
But she’s looking for more
And she get in her car and she drives
And she feels so alone as she drive to her home
And she climbs in her bed and she cries
It don’t seem like she sees
The same woman as me tonight
She don’t see
It don’t seem like she sees
The same woman as me tonight
She don’t see
It don’t seem like she sees
The same woman as me tonight
She don’t see
Same woman

"Say It Ain't So"
(with Rahsaan Patterson)

"Say It Ain't So"
(with Rahsaan Patterson)



I got taken all the way down
She was high class from a low town
She wore makeup under a frown
And that cinnamon way she said

I’ve had enough of you telling me you’ve had enough
The only time that we touch is when push turns to shove
The only thing I feel is a sickened sensation
I’m watching you drown in your own medication

Say it ain't so
If ya feel that you leaven me I think I’ll go
It smells like gold
And there’s a real reason leavin’ me alone
Say it ain’t so

Took me in the dark and let me lose, sad
Whispered in my ear baby don’t you do it
Everybody knows your way
I guess I’ll go and smile another day

Say it ain't so
If ya feel that you leaven me I think I’ll go
It smells like gold
And there’s a real reason leavin’ me alone
Say it ain’t so

For something so good to stop and end up turning so bad
And I awaken in my bad wondering what we once had
Instead of swimming in love I know I am sinking
Instead of hopin’ and preyin’ I’m crying and drinkin’

Say it ain't so
If ya feel that you leaven me I think I’ll go
It smells like gold
And there’s a real reason leavin’ me alone
Say it ain’t so

I had enough of you telling me
Every time that we touched

Say it ain't so
If ya feel that you leaven me I think I’ll go
It smells like gold
And there’s a real reason leavin’ me alone
Say it ain’t so

"Settle For Me"
(with Ej Barnes)

"Settle For Me"
(with Ej Barnes)



When I am down your lovin’ lifts me up
Makes me feel I need no more
And when I’m up you take me higher still
Than I’ve ever been before
You fill me with your heart and soul
Empty the one they be
And when I’m blinded by the light
It’s you that let’s me see

Well when I look into my soul
I feel so afraid because I know that I’m
Not worthy
You deserve an angel by your side
And I don’t know why
I don’t see how you could settle for me

But take me up there to be by your side
Help me serve you as I should

You shown me love now in a whole new light
Like I never know you could
You fill me with your heart and soul
Empty the one they be
And when I’m blinded by the light
It’s you that let’s me see

Well when I look into my soul
I feel so afraid because I know that I’m
Not worthy
You deserve an angel by your side
And I don’t know why
I don’t see how you could settle for me

But take me up there to be by your side
Help me serve you as I should
You shown me love now in a whole new light
Like I never know you could
I thank god
I thank god
Thank god
You settle for me

"Seven Days"

"Seven Days"



Seven days
Seven more days and she’ll be comin’
And I’ll be waiting at the station
For her to arive
Seven more days and all I got to do is survive

I’ve been good
I’ve been good while I’ve been waiting
Maybe guilty of hesitating
But I just keep holding on
Seven more days and all that’ll be gone

Kissing in the valley
Thieving in the ally
Fighting every inch of the way
Trying to pretend that there’s someone
That I remember in a night
That’s always brighter than the day
Seven days

But I just keep holding on
Seven days

"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 your love's still strong
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)

Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean, didn't I?
Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl

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

Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)

Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)

"Sister Mercy"

"Sister Mercy"



You know baby
That you’ve been hurting me
And you can see it in my eyes
But I know that if you asked me
I’d be the one to testify

‘Cause a woman’s got the power
To take control of me
Well she can wrap me round her finger
And make a damn fool of me

I keep on pleading with my love but in vain
I’ve been hurting but I can’t stand the pain
Keep on pushing and you’ll drive me insane
I keep on telling you again and again

Sister mercy, keep on coming down on me
Sister mercy, any time that you set me free
Show me mercy, let me get up off my knees
Sister mercy have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

I wanna tell you honey
Ain’t the kind that would love and lie
And I don’t want to argue
And I don’t want no alibis

You keep me spinning like I’m under a spell
I try to hide it, girl you know me too well
I feel pressure when you’re squeezing me tight
Your teeth are shining when I turn out the light

Sister mercy, what are you trying to prove
Sister mercy, give it up you’ve got to turn me loose
Show me mercy, I’ve got nothing left to lose
Sister mercy have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

I’d like too look beyond her masquerade
I’m sure I’d find a way to make her change
‘Cause I can tell that girl ain’t quite so hard
My sister mercy’s gonna have a brand new start

"Sit On My Knee"
(with Dallas Crane)



Just in time my love
Made a wish tonight
This old daddy’s gonna
Keep you away from nasty satan

Kisses on the lips
And leave a swig for me
I’m so glad you could
Come on over and

Sit on my knee
And fall in love with me
It’s aright
I can sit here all night

I’m the araldite
On your broken dreams
I’m your green percent
In your nicotine
I’m your friend for life
And i cross my heart
And it's fair to say we
Make a good start

Sit on my knee
And fall in love with me
And hey it’s aright
I can sit here all night

Come on now
Sit on my knee
Come on over
Oh won’t you sit on my knee
Come on over

Sit on my knee
And fall in love with me
Hey it’s aright I can see ya all night

Sit on my knee
All night
Sit on my knee
All night
