"Lovely Day (Part II)"
(feat. Busta Rhymes)



What's up my people?
You know
I am your weather man Busta Rhymes
I've come today to give you your weather forcast
you know today looks like one of those beautiful days
you know? to be perfectly honest,
there aint a cloud in the sky
you know this is the kind of weather you take your girl to the beach
lay her down and talk to her
Luther, step to the microphone

When i wake up in the morning love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
something strange without a one in love
That is heavy on my mind
then i look at you
and the world is alright with me
just one look at you
and i know it's gonna be

[Chorus]
a lovely day
oohh..
a lovely day
it's gonna

when the day that lies ahead of me
seems impossible to face
when somebody else instead of me
always seems to know the way
then i look at you
and the world is alright with me
just one look at you
and i know it's gonna be

a lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely, come on come on
a lovely day

(it's gonna be a lovely day) today i love the world, and i love you yeah

[Busta Rhymes]
Huh

and park under a lamp post
recline your seat, relax and lets listen to Mr. Vandross
I'm watching how my mami watching her do

especially when we rockin the songs we make babies to

and as we lay i look at you
i sit back and think how today was such a lovely day

(Lovely day, lovely day lovely day come on come on)
It's gonna be a lovely day
oooh yeah

"Make Me A Believer"

"Make Me A Believer"


Superman can fly high way up in the sky
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
(Imagine a time, imagine a time)
And let's go be lovers

Believing me, Ooo wee baby
Is believing right, yeah yeah yeah
And...

[Chorus:]
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)
So make me a believer
(Wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna girl)
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)

[Interlude:]
Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear (Whatever we fear)
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay, make me stay

Yeah, I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place and a day and a time (A place and a day and a time)
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay, make me stay

[Chorus]

[Fade]

"My Sensitivity (Gets In The Way)"

"My Sensitivity (Gets In The Way)"


At times I don't believe that I can't control my heart
It skips a beat even before the Lovin' starts
I seem to fall in love
With just the slighest touch
And even the little things
Begin to mean so much
And though I should hold out longer
Just to make sure things get stronger

[Chorus:]
You tell me that you love me
And before I'm sure you really do
You say you love me more and more each day
And that's when my sensitivity gets in the way

It's hard for me to play those fancy games of love
Just say the right thing baby and it's automatic love
I try not to let you know
How easily I go
Off into lovers' land
Just when you touch my hand
And though I should wait to see
How things are gonna really be

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Never Let Me Go"

"Never Let Me Go"


Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling, won't you hold me tight
And never let me go

Dry your eyes
No tears, no sorrow
Cling to me with all your might
And never let me go

A million times or more
We said we'd never part
But lately I find
You're a stranger, stranger in my heart

Give me the right
In summer or in spring time
To tell the world you are mine
And you will never let me go
And never let me go

[Fade]

 

[fox69]

"Never Too Much"

"Never Too Much"



I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you

I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started
I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'

Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar
I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much

"Nights In Harlem"
(feat. Precise)

"Nights In Harlem"
(feat. Precise)



There's a party in Harlem, come on

I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
It was somewhere one night in Harlem
The nights were hot and bright
You could treat your honey right
Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night

The people there were really something
(You know that's right)
The music always kept us jumping
And it used to knock me down
When Smokey came to town
(And the miracles, please)
My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah

There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
And I'm gonna take my baby back
To the heart of Harlem

Big sister had a group
And they'd sit out on the stoop
And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)
My cousin Joe could blow
Just like the radio
And he used to drove them "B" girls wild

But when grandma started happy dancing
(Oh, she gon' break somethin')
She really turned the mother out
I like the way they do it up in Harlem
When there's a party up in Harlem
That's what it's all about

Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
They never fake the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo

There's a party in Harlem
They say that all the stars will be there
Everyone is going to Harlem
Harlem is a party and everybody's going there

[Precise]
Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around
Originallly everybody headed uptown
Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car
On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R
And yes, we are about to set it
Forget it, I thought you knew
The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew
From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac
He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back
Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance
Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant
What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch
Precise can flaunt with this and never too much
It's such a love flow, high but natural
The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no
The only thing that they was shootin' was pool
While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool

Nothing like them nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem

Nights in Harlem
They never fake the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
Back to the Harlem Apollo

Nights in Harlem
They don't let you fake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my honey
Back to the Harlem Apollow

Nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby
Back to the Harlem Apollo

"Nights In Harlem (A Darkchild Extended Remix)"
(feat. Guru)



[Guru]
In the big apple, scars embedded like tattoos
Ghetto love, protection from what's coming at you
Keeping our heads up, maintaining self esteem
And reminiscing on the Harlem Nights scene
We used to party all night
We used to hang out all night like it was all right
Hoping we all might make it through
Doin what it takes to do to keep it true

[Luther]
I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
It was somewhere in Harlem
The nights were hot and bright
You could treat your honey right
Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night

[1:]
Remember the times we struggled and still held on
Remember the Nights in Harlem
Remember the times that we would dance all night long
Remember the Nights in Harlem

Big sister had a group
And they'd sit out on the stoop
And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)
My cousin Joe could blow
Just like the radio
And he used to drove them "B" girls wild

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

[Guru]
Hey, yo, the blocks are hot
Uptown you know the spots
Night life where this playa's game is quite tight
One two five where my name's inscribed
Sparkin' trees, avoiding felonies, keepin' it love
Headed for them riches, straight to stardom
Can't forget the struggle, all Brooklyn to Harlem
Dapper Dan's, shows at the Apollo
Harlem days, summertime is my rhyme ya follow
And through the pain, we held on
With more to obtain, more to gain
Ya can't dwell on bad vibes and sad lives we encountered
Take care of self and family, that's what it amounts to
Inhale so you could feel this realness
In New York sound, down with more cats than Felix
Steal this? Yeah, some they may wanna
You can't duplicate the great, I make it warmer
Just like the Harlem world streets we all knew
We coming up this time, we all flow, we all glow
Each one's gotta shing, a better life
That's what each one's gotta find

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Nobody To Love"

"Nobody To Love"



Hey baby, what's your game?
I ask you the question and the answer's still the same
How can you go on day to day
Without someone to care
If I wanted to take that chance
If I wanted to be your man
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
Hey there baby, you're not shy
We talk for hours and you seem just fine girl, but...
Every time I bring up love
You run for cover
Suppose I told you something that's true
Suppose I told you that I want you
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
What are you gonna do?
Heart feels empty, there's no one home
Nights are longer when you're alone
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
What are you gonna do?

"Now That I Have You"

"Now That I Have You"


You found me when I was alone
You held me and you made my heart your home
I sit around and dream
And there's no one else I see
Cuz there's no one else for me
I don't feel like crying

[1] - I have no tears
Cuz I have no reason to cry
Love is on my mind
And my heart's no longer blue
Now that I have you

I don't let anyone tell me what to do
How to love, who to love
They don't know you like I know you
This is so natural, it's hard to believe
People all around me
And there's no one else I see
Cuz there's no one else for me
I don't feel like crying

[Repeat 1]

I have the world, and I have no fears
And I know where my happiness is
Now that I've got you to care
Now that you've got me forever
Everything I don't want is gone
And I know I can't live without your love

All the things I wanted now
Are starting to be true
And all the dreams I ever dreamed
Are coming now that I have you
Love is on my mind
And my heart's no longer blue
Now that I have you
Oh, now that I have you
Now that I have you

"Once Were Lovers"

"Once Were Lovers"


We shared a life, we shared a heart
But what we united seems to be breaking apart
It’s a haunting pain, goes right to the core
Now we’re dividing what’s mine from what’s yours
I’ll keep the same old things I had when we met
And you’ll keep what’s yours ‘cause that would only be fair
But what about the heart that we both created together?
[CHORUS]
We used to be the toast of the town
We used to have the best love of all
We had blue skies but they came falling down
What happened to us
You and I once were lovers
No cheating hearts and no one did wrong
So why did we break, can’t say our love wasn’t strong
But I know with time things that start to mend
So let’s fix these hearts so they can’t be broken again
You need a man who sees how lonely you’ve been
Don’t worry, I will start all over and then
We will get back the heart that we both created together
[CHORUS]
Last night I cried but girl you were not here
So it was just a big waste of tears
But then I smiled, I heard your voice in my ear
Tellin’ me you wish it could be like it was in the beginning
[CHORUS]
