"Good Woman Down"

"Good Woman Down"


[Intro:]
In my life
I've seen
It all
Now it's time
For me
To pass
On this
Knowledge to you
All my sisters
My troubled sisters
This is my
Gift to you

[1st Verse:]
Been many days
Couldn't take
The pain
Felt like
I should take
My life away
See it everyday
In every other
Young sister's face
(Young sister's face)
See'em cryin' out
Life full of doubt
Runnin' in the streets
No self esteem
Thinkin' that
Used to be me
What a shame

[B-Sect:]
And life
Is a mutha
It's hard
To sit back
And see
The same thing
That happened to me
Happen to you
This ain't love
But here's
The love
I wanna give to you

[Chorus:]
It dosen't
Matter what
They say or do
Don't let'em
Get to you
Don't be afraid
You can, you can
You can breakthrough
Take what
I've been through
To see that
You can't
Hold a good
Woman down

Went through
The same point
Of givin' up
I-I felt
Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge
But I didn't jump
"My Life"
Will sum it up
You can't
Hold a good
Woman down

[2nd Verse:]
When I used to see
My daddy beat
My mother down
Down to her feet
I used to say
That ain't gon'
Never be me
(Never be me)
Now look at you
Bruised up
From him
Girl recognize
You're better then
Him tellin' you
That he'll never hit
You again
Girl don't cry

[Repeat B-Sect 1x]

[Repeat Chorus 1x]

[Bridge:]
Through your changes
I will hold your hand
Use my songs
As remedies
Whenever you're feelin'
Down or blue
I'll be there for you
Trust
And know
That I've been
Where you're at
Seen the things
That you can see
Lookin' at you
Resembles me
But you gotta
Hold your own

[Repeat Chorus 1x]

[Vamp:]
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
You can't hold me

Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
You can't hold me

[Outro:]
There you have it
I'm still with you
My sisters
My troubled sisters
I still have troubles, too
You're not alone
I'll always be there
For you
Rock on

You can't hold
A good woman down

"Hard Times Come Again No More"

"Hard Times Come Again No More"


Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus:]
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus]

Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"


Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful, faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more.

And through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates, if the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

"Hood Love"
(feat. Trey Songz)

"Hood Love"
(feat. Trey Songz)


[Trey Songz:]
Sometimes I don't get a chance to really tell you
But I promise you my love will never fail you
Don't you get it?
Right now we're writing history
A thousand years from now
They'll talk about you and me
I know sometimes I go hard
For no reason at all
Put your soul through the business
And test the weight of your heart
'cause when your back's on the wall
And there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you until the end

[Chorus:]
We got hood love
I be cussin I be screamin
Like it's over then I'm longing
Then I'm feening just to hold ya
Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is a good love
That's me and you
How you feel love?
Well I'm with u
Never quit u
Now that's real love
When you ain't here
Then I miss you
Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is a good love
That's me and you

[Mary J. Blige:]
Sometimes I think about leaving you
But when I think about what we've been through yeah
I get a feeling like it could be the worse
Cause I've given you my best and I don't mind it... that's fine
Cause when you love somebody hard then you'll love that way for life
You got all of my heart
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my word to love ya
All the way to the end
So no matter what I'll be right here
I'll be right here cause we got hood love

[Chorus x2]

[Trey Songz:]
Now I'll play tough but not for too long
You are someone I depend on
No matter how I act at times
I could never walk away
I thought about it plenty times
But no one can take your place

[Mary J. Blige:]
Well if there ain't no you
Then there ain't no me
If there ain't no us
Then I'd rather be
By my self
Cause no one else (oh)
Could know just what i need
And really understand me

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Hurt Again"

"Hurt Again"


[Verse 1]
Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don't wanna tell you how I, am digging you so
I can't let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I can't let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don't want you to, let it go to your head
I'm into you sometimes, but I can't get you off my mind
So I hit you with the game, always trying to act like you loving doesn't faze me when the
truth is that it amazes me
You know it's a big lie cuz you can see right thru my eyes
How much I wanna hold you, give you all my loving, baby boy let me show
And I really wanna get to know you

[Chorus]
I've been there and I've done that and I promise never to get hurt again, never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself never to get hurt again, never again

[Verse 2]
I can never, ever let you see me this way, so I take all my feelings and I tuck 'em away
Fronting like I don't want you to hold me tight, so I act like I'm putting up a fight
To get your attention, and make you stay a while longer
So I tell you I don't like it cuz I know that'll make you wanna hold me tighter,
I can't help myself I really like you

[Chorus (2x)]

I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again, never get hurt again, never
I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again never get hurt again, no

 

[fox69]

"I Am"

"I Am"


Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

When you're out at night and you're in the streets
And you have time to yourself
Think of all the love that you get from me
That you can't find nowhere else

When you're far away and I'm not around
And temptation fills your heart
Think of all the ways that I'm faithful, babe
And to replace me would be hard, 'cause there's nobody

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
(No, nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
(No)
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

You can try to act single if you wanna
You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna
You can even behave like
You don't care

But you know
(But you know)
Like I know
(Like I know)
That you ain't that foolish, who you foolin'?
You won't ruin what's been here all along
You ain't movin' from what you got at home

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Ain't nobody gonna touch you)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody's gonna touch you)
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

I just want you to know, baby, I love you so
There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
'Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
But if you feel that you need to leave, just know

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

As I am
As I am
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

(Nobody, nobody)
As I am
(Nobody, nobody)
As I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

"I Can Do Bad All By Myself"

"I Can Do Bad All By Myself"


Mmmmm
Ohh ohh
Ah yea
Ah ah yea

[Verse 1]
Somebody told me once that pain is a game we all gotta play.
Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day.
I know that for the good of life there's a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day, yeah

Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do.
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you.

[Chorus:]
I don't need no one to put me down,
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower.
And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no no no I can do bad all by myself

[Verse 2]
Somebody told me once that running from the rain don't make no sense.
I had my own dark cloud for awhile now, it goes where ever I'm going, yeah
They're telling me the grass just might be greener on the other side.
But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even though the grass has died.

Oh since everybody knows what it is that I need to do,
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Don't waste time feeling bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
No I know God is watching over me
So I guess this is where I'm suppose to be
Ohh yes

[Chorus to the end]

I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)

Sitting here,
Wondering why you don't love me
The way that I love you
And baby have no fear
Cause I would never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy I can

[Chorus]

[Vs.2]
I know some times
Can get rough but we'll make it
We'll make it through the storm
And I know I will try
To make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say

(I can love you) I can love you
A little better than she can
oh,
(I know that you) I know that you
Wish that you could be my man
Cause I can love you better than she can

[Chorus]

[Rap: Lil Kim]
If I told you once, I told you twice,
Q. B. throw the bootie, like a groupie for mo' ice
Armor truck heist, hit the bonus like N'Bushe,
In love wit' you since the days of "Juicy"
Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colassals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin', who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!
You work more body than Jane Fonda,
Physical fitness, Mary Blige be my witness
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Cougar by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya
Because of you, I'm inheritin' trillions,
Buryin' billions, Bentley Coupe's millions
Playin' good samaritan, in the Sheraton
Crack the Don P's and Remy's
You better hurry in

(Won't you tell me who?)
(Who's gonna make you feel the way I do)
Who's gone love you like I do, huh? What
Who's gone treat you like I do, huh? What
(Nobody, nobody)
Mary Blige, Lil Kim, ha ha
Queen Bee, ah-hah, that's me
That's right, Mary J, Lil K

Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody

[Chorus until fade]

"I Can See In Color"

"I Can See In Color"


It took a long time to get to this place
And now that I'm here no one can ever erase
The joy that I feel way down deep beside
The love that I have for me will never, never die

I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, new song to sing

Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see in color

Everything looks beautiful, sky so baby blue
I'm anxious to know where the rest of this road will go
If April showers bring flowers then I need, I need more rain
To quench the drought in me, so rain on me, rain on me

I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, a new song to sing

Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open, open my, open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see

I can see in color the first sign, the first signs of spring
It looks so beautiful to me
I can see, I can see, I can see, I can see in color
Sky so baby blue, so baby blue

I can see, I can see
I can see in color the first sign of spring
And now the rose buds are blooming

I can touch them, I can feel them
I'mma hold them forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever, I'ma hold 'em ever, I'ma be forever

I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, see in color, color, color, color
It's all clear
