"Got You Home"

"Got You Home"


I Am Glad That You Accepted
My Offer To You When I Said, Excuse Me Miss? What's Your Name?
That Was The Spark That Lit The Flame
You Won't Be Regrettin It
I Promise You'd Be Satisfied
So Relax, Cause Everything Gonna Be Alright

[Chorus:]
Girl I'm Glad I Got You Tonite Nite Nite Nite
Finally We All Alone Tonite Nite Nite Nite
I'm Gonna Turn Down The Lights I'll Give You What You Like, Girl I'm Glad That I Got You Home, Now That I Got You Home Tonite

First Let Me Take Your Coat Off
And Let Me Show You All Around And If You Need Something I Think You Ought To Get It Now
We'll Be Busy Doing Whatever's Cool
And I Don't Want Interupptions Between Me And You

[Chrous]

I Can't Imagine Being In Another Place
Except With You Face To Face
I Can't Imagine Being In Another Place
Expect With You Face To Face

Cause I've Been Waiting
So Long For This Moment To Come
And Now Your Here
In My Arms

[Chorus]

Girl I Got You Home And I
I Got You Home And Now Babe
I Got You Home My Babe
I Got You Home Alright
I Got You Home I Got You
I Got You Home And Now Babe
I Got You Home
I Got You Home

[Chorus]

"Grown Thangs"

"Grown Thangs"


[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah

What good is the money
When lately we've been missing each other
Cuz we've got work and kids, you know how it goes
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5
We spend most of the time chasing that dough

But not tonight, we're gonna both get fly
Call your momma, tell her come over
So we can have quality time
Cuz it's been too long since I held you in my arms
I can't wait no more, I'm ready to oooo

[1] - You make me wanna
Do thangs, do thangs, them grown thangs
Do thangs with you

Tonight we gon' forget our worries
Put the kids to bed
I'm going out instead with you

Steppin' out with you
I'm steppin on out with you, darling

Girl put that "celly" down
Don't even peek at your pager now
Just chill, relax, the kids will be cool
Grab two more Cosmos, we ain't thinkin' about tomorrow
We're in a club full of people
But it feels just like me and you

My baby's looking hot tonight
Catching everybody's eye
Look at them starin', but I ain't carin'
Cuz I know you're mine
We should do this more often
Got a fella feelin' kinda flossy
I can't wait to make your body go ooh, ooh, ooh

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

(You know how it goes)
(Keep chasin' that dough)

I'll ring the bell like I used to do
Hold the door for you, let you through
Take your hand and talk to you
Make you know you're my star
I'm gonna woo ya (yeah yeah)
Say pretty words to ya (yeah yeah)
Send chills right through ya (oh yeah)
And remind you how loved you are

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Heart Of A Hero"

"Heart Of A Hero"



Hero, Hero

Someone above keeps sendin’ us love
He wants us to love each other
You see, the more we give, the better we live
Lets help the world of the future

We’re singin’, oh happy day
This life is for us
Life without love is a zero
(Come on, sing it together!)
Oh happy day, I heard someone say
inside every heart is a hero
You’re a hero

If you’re a friend to every man,
you’re that much closer to Heaven
Heaven knows the love we share, God wants us to care
Think of the world we’ll be getting

Keep singing, oh happy day
This world is for us,
The world without love is a zero
(There ain’t nothin’ to it!)
Oh happy day, give love to someone
and you’ll have the heart of a hero
You’re a hero

Sometimes a hero doesn’t know he’s a hero
and that's the beauty of sharing love
And it doesn’t take superman,
just plain ordinary people,
trying to give someone a hand, if they can
TOGETHER

Oh happy day, thank GOD for his love
cuz life with no love is a zero
(Come on, sing it together!)
Oh happy day, give love to someone
and you’ll have the heart of a hero
(oh yes you will!)

Oh happy day, life is for us
cuz life without love is a zero
(I wanna hear everybody say)
Oh happy day, I’ve heard someone say
that inside every heart is a hero
You’re a hero
Say it! Hero

"Hearts Get Broken All The Time (But The Problem Is, This Time It's Mine)"

"Hearts Get Broken All The Time (But The Problem Is, This Time It's Mine)"



So many times I've seen
So many people's dreams
Lost and washed away
Out to the sea, yeah

I said "No, not I"
Pain would surely pass me by
Happening to them, but not to me, yeah

Hearts get broken all the time
Never used to worry about things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Now I'm worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine

Love would be all I'd need
How naive could I be
Trusting other people with my care, yeah

Never thought I'd have to be
One of love's casualties
Up until now my belief was that love was fair

Hearts get broken all the time
But I never worried 'bout things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
I keep worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine

This time my heart's breaking
This time my love's failing
I'm trying hard not to be bitter now

I never dreamed that the broken heart would be mine

Hearts get broken all the time
You think it's love, but it never really is
Never could imagine a thing like that (I wouldn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Got me worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This is mine, this is mine, yeah

Hearts get broken all the time
Never cared a doggone thing about that (I didn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
And the problem really is (This one is mine)
See the whole thing is the heart is mine

This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine

This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine

This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine

"Heaven Knows"

"Heaven Knows"



Heaven knows I love you
Heaven knows how much I care
Couldn't live without you
Look for me and I'll be there

But, even though you're a joy to me
I think you think, "he's a bore to me"
What your thing, am I still your guy?
I'm so confused, my darling, I could die

You're the one on my mind
Got me working overtime
I only think about love and you
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven knows I really try to love you...
I try to love you

Used to be amazing
Used to make the world say "wow"
Heaven brought us together
That's how I know it'll all work out

We bulit our love on a solid ground
And can't a thing ever bring us down
Back together like we wanted to
Forget me not, 'cause I remember you

You're still the one on my mind
Love is working overtime
I only dream about love and you
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven know I really try to love you...
I try to love you, yeah

You're the one on my mind
Got me working overtime
I only think about love, don't you?
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven knows I really try to love you...
I try to love you, baby

This is love that you can't ignore
I never knew a girl like you before
And heaven knows I couldn't love you more...

This is so right
This is so right
This is so right
Because I love you
I really love you, baby

Back together like we wanted to
Forget me not, 'cause I remember you

Work, it can work
Gonna work out, gonna work out
Work, its going work
Gonna work out, gonna work it out
Work, its gonna work, 'cause I love
Heaven knows and I know it can...

"Hello"

"Hello"



I've been alone with you inside my mind.
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
a thousand times.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your smile.

You're all I've ever wanted, my arms are open wide.
'Cause you know just what to say.
And you know just what to do.
And I want to tell you so much,

I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair.
And tell you time and time again
how much I care.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow.
Hello, I've just got to let you know.

'Cause I wonder where you are,
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely,
or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying,

I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are,
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying ...

I love you.

"Here And Now"

"Hit It Again"
(feat. Queen Latifah)

"Hit It Again"
(feat. Queen Latifah)



Well by now you know I’m insatiable
‘Cause when you step to leave I want a full repeat, yeah
It’s a miracle, you were right inside my head
If the feeling’s nice, why not do it twice?
It is not against the law, no baby
I slave all through the week
And I need my release
I work hard so when I stop
I gotta get a little satisfaction for me
Hit it again
Don’t care if I’m late
The world just has to wait
Hit it again, hit it again, baby
Hit it again
I loved it the first time
Sent chills up through my spine
Hit it again, hit it again, baby
Deep emotion ain’t got nothing to do with it
And being in love ain’t really got a thing to do with it
I hope you understand
But I can’t worry if you don’t, oh no
If I can’t double up
It’s like I didn’t get enough
Call me greedy if you want, just do it
But it’s something that will never change
I don’t get no complaints
They know it when they ring my bell
That this could be a thing that could take a little while, well, well
Hit it again
Don’t care if I’m late
The world just has to wait
Hit it again, hit it again, baby
Hit it again
I loved it the first time
Sent chills up through my spine
Hit it again, hit it again, baby
I declare the point to be
Once is not enough for me
Two time lovin’ makes me smile
One time love just ain’t my style
Repeat the love and I have found
More the second time around
It builds me up I love to love
And if I can’t hit it again
It ain’t natural
Hit it again
Don’t care if I’m late
The world just has to wait
Hit it again, hit it again, baby
Hit it again
I loved it the first time
Sent chills up through my spine
Hit it again, hit it again, baby

"How Do I Tell Her"

"How Do I Tell Her"


[1] - How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before

I'm doing all I can to try and understand
Why my feelings faded away
She's been nothin' but good to me
I don't wanna hurt her but I must be free
I can't stay in this love
How do I say goodbye

[Repeat 1]

She pretends she can not see
The love is gone from me
She carries on as if it is what it was before
But I don't love her anymore
I have to let her know
That I must let her go
I can't stay in this life
How do I say goodbye

[Repeat 1]

Oh, I don't know what to do about it
Gotta tell her, gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Oh, there's no way to go around it
I've got to tell her now
But I don't know how

Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I just gotta tell you
All the love we once had is through

Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I can't stay, I can't stay

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
(with Dionne Warwick)

"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
(with Dionne Warwick)



Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on and trying to pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find the solution
But Darling
All our dreams have been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye

We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us abusing
Both of us using
Darling
It's time to stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we both know we're losing, but

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye

How many times can we breakup and makeup
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on
Living a lie
Though I'll always love you

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we watch love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye

Good-bye
