"Hustle"

"Hustle"


[Spoken:]
I love when the day is new
We get to start all over
But the thing is sometimes getting through the day
Is just one big hustle

The world is waiting, dawn is here
Ain't got time to waste, we need to work, my dear
Hurry, hurry can't delay
Get up and start today, it's time to...

[Chorus:]
Hustle
Oh, trying to keep things together
Working all day, finding a way... to hustle
Soon I'll be back to you
But first I got a lot to do

We learn to fight to survive
And that's how we manage to stay alive
Then we lwt the night settle in
Then I get to see my bab again

I know you're waiting patiently
You're home beofre I am, and so you wait for me
Anticipatin', I rush I do
I'm coming back to you, I've got to

Hustle
Oh, I can't stay in this place
I've got to see my baby's face (Hustle)
Sure as I breathe and live
I've got a lot of love to give

You're my lady, I'm your man
Let's turn the music up
I think it's time to dance
Night has fallen
Spirits rise
Ain't no compromise, we came to...

Hustle
Up all night, don't stop yet
Just let the music make you sweat and
Hustle
Forget about the work we do
I just wanna be with you

"I (Who Have Nothing)"
(with Martha Wash)



I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so

I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you
But ooh, I love you

She, she buys you diamonds
Say they're bright, they are bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, boy, ooo boy, hear what I say

She could give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
That I love you, baby

You can go any place you want
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with her

My nose pressed up against the window pane
The window pane
Ooo yeah, yeah

I
Who have nothing
Nothing
I
Who have no one
Must watch you

I will watch you, baby
Go passing by
But you don't see me
Wrapped in the arms of
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else

When darling, it's I
Who
Really loves you, baby
Really loves you, baby

I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one

I want to be the one that you just can't live without
I want to be the one that you never feel no doubt
I want to be the one that you let give you the lovin'
But, I have nothing
Nothing

I want to be the one that you always want to be near
I want to say the words that your body and soul need to hear
I want to be the one that you let give you all the lovin'
But I have nothing

I want to be the one that you always want to be near
I want to say the words that your body and soul need to hear
I want to be the one that you let give you all the lovin'
But I have nothing

"I Can Make It Better"

"I Can Make It Better"



Well, once again my love
It's time for you to go
No need to explain anything
I know, I know, I know

This is the end of the road
It's the parting of the ways
And there's not much left for us to say

You keep telling me he's no good for you
You said you were gonna change your lock
You told me if he bothers you again, baby
He'll be dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Put him away, baby
Make him understand
Tell him his game is over
And then when you cry, I'll be your shoulder

Whatever you're going through
I can make it better
No one should be making you feel like you do
I can make it better
Oh baby, baby
Don't be a link in his chain
Tell him you want to be free, you want to love me
Don't let him get in the way

For every one time that he gives you pleasure
Ten times he makes you wanna cry
You spend every night with the toss and the turn, baby
And wonder why in the world, oh why
How in the world can you get any sleep
Every one knows the way that he creeps
It's time for the question baby
What has he done for you lately, no

Whenever you want me to
I can make it better
I just need this one chance to prove it to you
I can make it better
Ooo baby, baby
Don't be a pawn in his game
Go 'head and tell him it's over, tell him to go
Or darling, it's just a shame

Better for you is better for me
Let's fall in love, I'll make you see
Better for you is better for me, baby
Let's fall in love, I'll make you, I'll make you see

Never again will you hear a lie
Never again will you wanna cry
never, oh no, will there be a tear drop in your eye
Stop all this madness in the name of love
Tell him to leave cuz enough is enough
Let him go baby, save your love for me
Tell him you've found somebody
Who'll give you the love that you just won't believe

"I Can Tell You That"

"I Can Tell You That"



(Talk about love, talk about love)
(Talk about love, talk about love)
Love, love, love
(Talk about love, talk about love)
Alright, love, love, love
(Talk about love, talk about love)

One day I'll always remember
Was when you walked into my life
It was a very special night
When we danced so close

So tender, it gave my heart
The second chance that I'd been waiting for

Our love is falling, all kinds of pressure
Has temptation calling, it gives me fever
But no matter what, I ain't gonna leave you
I'm gonna stay 'til the last day

Worry no more, what is love for
I hear love knocking, honey
Come on, open the door

You know you've got me to love
I can tell you that
If you ever should need some love
You just call me back

I've been loving you for the start
Let me tell you that
And I'll keep loving you from my heart
Sure can tell you that you've got so much
(To love)

Every time that we kiss
I'm reminded it's you I miss
I just love it when we love like this
I can tell you that

Please forgive me if I pout
But my world would turn inside out
If on leaving me, you insist
Let me tell you that

I start to hold you but you pull back
Not much just a little, I can't control you
When you get so caught up in the middle
First you say yes, then you say no

Said, you're gonna stay
Now you're gonna go
You know I'll tell you, honey
But I think you already know

You know you've got me to love
I can tell you that
If you ever should need some love
You just call me back

I've been loving you for the start
Let me tell you that
And I'll keep loving you from my heart
Sure can tell you that you've got so much
(To love)

I can you this, anytime you go
I really miss you, nothing to do
Tired of my friends, won't you come back
And love me again, so I can tell you
That you've got me forever girl to love

Our love is falling, all kinds of pressure
Has temptation calling, it gives me fever
But no matter what, I ain't gonna leave you
I'm gonna stay 'til the last day

Worry no more, what is love for
I hear love knocking, honey
Come on, open the door

You know you've got me to love
I can tell you that
If you ever should need some love
You just call me back

I've been loving you for the start
Let me tell you that
And I'll keep loving you from my heart
Sure can tell you that you've got so much
(To love)

And stay around - you the man

"I Gave It Up (When I Fell In Love)"

"I Gave It Up (When I Fell In Love)"


My friends told me all about it
They said I had to see for myself
But I never really cared much about love
I thought I could live without it
Until I met this one girl
And she was so fine
I knew she was the one who could change my mind

[Chorus:]
See, I used to be such a bad bad boy
And good times were my toy for joy
That was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to know the party people around the world
I gave it up when I found that girl
And she's the one treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love

I thought I was justified
To only see the world through my eyes
And that it was a waste of time talkin' 'bout love
But it only took a little time to make change my mind
'Cause when she said goodbye
See, I really thought I'd never stop crying

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Now, every night I dream about you and our new love
All of my friends say I'm such a different guy
And they wonder
Oh, how they wonder

Ad lib
I gave it up
Sho' nuff gave it up
That was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love

"I Know"

"I Know"


I know that you've been good to me
And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town
And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe
Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby
This is love that you see on my face
And it's impossible to erase
Still it scares me when I hear what I hear
You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear

[1] - But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)

I know about their jealousy
And I know about the talk that's growing in this town
And I know know know that they don't want to believe
That I'm not just a run-around baby
They say we will break up, just you wait
They gamble on the time and the date it will end
Not much longer, they swear
You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere

[Repeat 1]

I don't believe what they think of you and me
When they say that we're in trouble
Cuz they don't know what they're talking about
It's just too bad we've got what they've never had
So they just stay busy talking
"She don't love him, he don't love her!"

[Repeat 1]

I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real big heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop us

[Ad lib until fade]

"I Know You Want To"

"I Know You Want To"


If only I could read your mind
I could heal your broken heart
I could mend you when your falling apart

I wanna love you
I wanna care
But there's not a thing that I can do
Not until you say that you want me there
And that you want me to love you forever
I know it's what you want
Though it's easy to say that you don't

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

No.no no no no love...

I hear your heartbeat
I feel you shiver
And in the stilness of the night
(I can hear the angels saying to me)
She wants to love you
She wants to care
But she's so afarid of a broken heart
(She's afraid to dall0
Will someone be there

We'll I'll pick you up and put you together
I know it; s what you want
Though you constanly say that you don't

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

[Bridge:]
Do you spend every moment
Trying to hide out
From the way you know you truly feel
And is it really real... you know
How can you keep denying
That you really love me
You can try to fool somebody else
But your lying to yourself

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(You're all I ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, I know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

No love
No love doo doo do doo
Yeah...

"I Really Didn't Mean It"

"I Really Didn't Mean It"


[Chorus:]
I told my girl bye-bye (bye)
And I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)
And I really didn't mean it

[Verse 1:]
Out of my head to say the things I said
I didn't mean a word
Think jealousy just took a hold of me
I hope she'll ignore the things she heard
(No doubt about it) My heart is in her hands
(With every moment) I'm waiting for a second chance
(Maybe an angel) Will come and help her see
I can't face the world if she don't love me

[Chorus:]
I told my girl bye-bye (bye)
And I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)
And I really didn't mean it
When I walked away I cried (cried)
And I really didn't mean it
So she took me back cause she knew I (I)
Really didn't mean it

[Verse 2:]
Dear one from me take my apology
I need you back
I promise I know o never let you go
Is there a chance to see you baby
(They talk about all) the love that we still share
(From her emotion) I barely miss your happiness
(You're missing and mourning) the way it used to be
I know it's true but I don't believe

[Chorus:]
I told my girl bye-bye (bye)
And I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)
And I really didn't mean it
When I walked away I cried (cried)
And I really didn't mean it
So she took me back cause she knew I (I)
Really didn't mean it

[Hook:]
I want you back it can't be any other way
I want you back and I've waited for the day
I want you back I'm gonna be a little smarter
I want you back I'm gonna try a litte harder
She's good She's fine and always on my mind
I know our love will stand the test of time
She's my girl and my best friend
And I really didn't mean it
Her love is love so fine and so for real
I want the world to know the way I feel
She's my girl and my best friend
And I really didn't mean it
Yeah... yeah... oooh...

"I Want The Night To Stay"



In your arms
In your arms, yeah

I dream enough to know
The way true love should feel
I'm strong enough to show you
The heart can always heal

It shouldn't be so hard
To let our love just live
It's really all we have
The love we need to give

I've been dreaming
I don't wanna be awake
I don't wanna see the day
I just want the night to stay

I want the night to stay
And last a little longer
So we can always be
In love you see

I want the night to stay
In your arms
In your arms, yeah

Tomorrow's gonna come
And chase tonight away
And leave me sitting right here
To cry the day away

I've been hoping
That tomorrow won't rush in
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want the night to end

I want the night to stay
And last a little longer
So we can always be
In love you see
I want the night to stay

Forever, together
Forever, together
Forever, together
Forever, together

In your arms, yeah
