"Love Will Lead You Back"

"Love Will Lead You Back"


Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said, you stay forever
So if you must go darlin', I'll set you free
But I know in time, we'll be together
I won't try to stop you now from leaving
'Cause in my heart, I know

Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

One of these nights, I'll hear your voice again
You're gonna say, how much you miss me
You walked out this door but someday you'll walk back in
Darling I know, I know this will be
Sometimes it takes, sometime out on your own now
To find your way back home

Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

I won't try to stop you now from leaving
'Cause in my heart I know

Love will lead you back, I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, it won't be long
One of these days my love will lead you back

"Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)"

"Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)"


I don't know why but I'm feelin' so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin', ooh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me but no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can feel like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me
Oh, strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
A-huggin' and a-kissin', ooh, what we've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can feel like, heavenly, heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
A-huggin' and a-kissin', ooh, what we've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

Lover man, oh, where can you be?
Lover man, lover man, oh, where are you?

"Make Tonight Beautiful"

"Make Tonight Beautiful"


I have some beautiful thoughts
And I need a man like you
To share them with me darling, hey

I've been waiting to taste your kiss
Touch you in the dark, hold you to my heart
I've been hoping for that moment
We'd be making love now that time has come

Come with me tonight
Share my dream
Change my life and

Make tonight beautiful
(Make it nice)
Make tonight something more
Than any night I've ever known
In my life before
(I know you're the one who can do it)

Make tonight beautiful for me
Hold me close and don't let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night

Oh, why don't you
Turn the lights down, tune the world out?
There's a world of love waiting there for us
Let me take you to a place you've
Never been before open up a door

To a dream come true
Take my hand
And show me how to

Make tonight beautiful
(Make it, oh)
Make tonight something more
(I need you to)
Than any night I've ever known
In my life before

Make tonight beautiful for me
(I need you to make it nice)
Hold me close and don't let go
(I want you to hold me close and don't let go)
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Oh, make it beautiful

And show me all the magic the night can bring
You're my door to Heaven, you're all I need
I've waited all my life to look in your eyes
So stay with me, make love to me

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
(Make it nice)
Than any night I've ever known
In my life before

Make tonight beautiful for me
(Oh, hold me)
Hold me close and don't let go
(Hold me close and don't let go)
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
(Stay, I've got good love for you)

Please lay with me and stay with me tonight
(True love for you, oh, I)
Honey, lay with me and stay with me tonight
(Oh, just love me all night)
Oh I, oh I, oh, I'm satisfied

"MM, MM, MM"

"MM, MM, MM"


You're driving me crazy
It's something I can't explain
Whatever you're doing to me
Why don't you do it again
I've never been so in love
Must've been sent from above
To fill my empty nights
Make everything alright
Your love is too good for words

[Chorus:]
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything

If I could imagine
The perfect man
It would be you
You bring out the woman in me
With everything that you do
I've never been so alive
Where have you been all my life
I love the way it feels
To have a man that's real
I'm so happy inside

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Anything you want from me
I will give you what you need
Just say the word
And its done
I know you're the one
Your kiss is like a drug to me
Love the way you're touching me
I'm addicted to you
And that thing that you do

[Chorus]

"Moanin"

"Moanin"


Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Every evening I am moanin'
Cuz of all the trouble I see
Life's a losing gamble to me
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Lord I spend a many days and nights
Alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Lord I spend a many days and nights
Alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'
I'm moanin'
I'm moanin'
I'm moanin' moanin' moanin'
Yes I am
(At least I used to be)

"More Than Material"

"More Than Material"


Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day I only shop for me
Don't get mad if I buy the clothes
That you think are not the style for me
Who I am is not what I wear
And what I think has nothing to do with hair
Love me by what my heart shows
But it seems like you just can't let it go

[Chorus:]
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'
(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical
I'm so much more than material

Don't get mad if I treat me


To a day of cosmotology
Don't get mad if you see me
Exploring different sides of me
Deep inside of my outer shell
There's only so much I'd show and tell
Love me like the real girl you know
But it seems that you just can't let it go

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
More than material
More than the typical
More than just a video
A respectable
And effectual, girl

[Repeat]

[Chorus]

"My Best Was Good Enough"

"My Best Was Good Enough"


Sittin' by the window all alone
Tryin' to understand just what went wrong
The man I love has gone away
But the reason why he couldn't say
Perhaps he just got tired of making plans
And promises of things we never had
Well I done my best yet things got kind of rough
But for me, my best was good enough, yes

I try to keep an open mind
That he would come to realize in time
But as I go from day to day
I tell myself that there's no other way
And perhaps he never understood
That I was only doing the best I could
Well, I wish him all the very best of luck
As for me, my best was good enough, mm hmm
Said I wish him all the very best of luck
As for me, my best was good enough

"My Love, Sweet Love"
(from "Waiting To Exhale" soundtrack)



[1:]
My love, sweet love
With you, nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me, there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more

And I swear to you, there's no one more important
And I trust you with my life
So I pledge my heart to you

[1]

'Cause with you, my world
Is filled with so much pleasure
When I'm blind, you are my eyes
So I pledge my trust to you

[1]

And I swear to you
That I will always love you
And I trust you with my heart
So I pledge my world
I pledge my world, I pledge my world to you

"Need A Little Faith"

"Need A Little Faith"


This I know is true, all my life
It's been hard for me to just let go
And to trust someone again
And oh, I will be alright, still I can't let go
So I hold too tight

And I've been hurt like you in my life
But you just go on and start again
Since you left the sun shining
I know that your heart won't break
It'll just get strong, it's a choice we made with our life

Hold on to me and we'll be stronger
Together, stronger forever
Gotta have a little faith
To help us see things through

And I agree that we live our lives
With a hope we'll find that special one
Who knows all that we can be each day
It's a chance we take if we just hold on
Only love's at stake this time

Hold on to me and we'll be stronger
Together, stronger forever
Gotta have a little faith
To help us see things through
(This I know is true)

Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
Together, me and you
(I believe that we)
(Oh we need)

Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
(A little bit)
To help us see things through
(You and me, together, forever)

Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
Together me and you
(That's all we need, that's all we need)

Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
To help us see things through
(A little faith, a little bit of me that's all we need, that's all)
