"Romantica"

"Romantica"


Romantica,
I'll always be so hopelessly romantic,
Just like the wind baby, the earth, the sky,
And you and I made magic... .

What about me, baby?
Will I live my life alone?
No one to comfort me,
Must I sing for everyone?
Was that a kiss I felt,
Soft on my cheek just then?
Did you awaken me?
And where did it all begin?
How can I time travel?
Must I encapsulate?
All that we ever were,
The sand, the sea, the shore and fate?
I'm riding in your rocket,
You crash me back to earth,
I cried when Steveland sang,
"And do you have angel wings? "

Romantica,
Just like Heaven works of wonders,
Two passing ships in the night,
Two restless lovers,
Romantica,
To the stars you must surrender,
So take your place as you return to forever,
Return to forever, my love... .my love.

What about you? Are you,
Sleeping with the angels now?
And are you making music?
Did you take a sacred vow,
To be an altar boy?
And do you ring the bells?
I hear you're with your mother,
Yes and she too is well,
I have my memories,
As I lay here in my bed,
Oh how we danced those nights,
On those days when we were wed,
I'm happy for you now,
So happy that you're free,
Ours was an epic tale,
Sung through eternity.

Romantica,
Just like Heaven works of wonders,
Two passing ships in the night,
Two star-crossed lovers,
Romantica,
Now your soul you must surrender,
So take your place,
As you return to forever,
Return to forever my love... . my love.

They say I'll see you again but I know,
That's intangible,
Why must I keep wanting things that I know,
Are not haveable?

Why is the earth so still?
Is it that surreal?
Has your cup been filled?
Will I grow old gracefully?

Romantica,
I'll always be so hopelessly romantic,
Just like the wind, the earth, the sky,
And you and I were magic... .

Romantica,
I'll always be so hoplessly romantic,
Just like the wind, baby, the earth, the sky,
And you and I made magic.

"Shadow Boxing"

"Shadow Boxing"


Loving, fresh as the morning dew
Sunrise talks just to you
Nocturnal night one last adieu
I'm coming, I'm going
I'm swimming, I'm flowing
I'm right here beside you babe
Passion was not the answer
Was not the question
Yet it was all of this and more
Your river and heartlight
The ebb in the tide at night
The do, in the do me babe

I'm dreaming of, the one I love
I fall into a slumber deep
In eyes as black as ebony
And if there ever was a spark
It's when we're shadow boxing in the dark
Shadow boxing in the dark
Do I have to break it down for you
Shadow boxing in the dark
For this is all the love I've found in you

Ooo baby
Loving, warm as a zephyr breeze
Soft when you're touching me baby
Rhythm inside -ooo- if you please
I'm coming, I'm going
I'm swimming, I'm flowing
I'm right here beside you babe

Here I am baby
Hush my drunken heart again
Savoring every moment of your love
Wanting so much what's inside of you
Needing your touch baby - oh what more can I do

Do I have to break it down for you - oh baby
For this is all the love I've found in you - oh darlin'
Shadow boxing in the dark
Shadow boxing in the dark
Do me, do me
I love you, I love you
Shadow boxing baby in the dark
I need to break it down babe
Straight from my heart
Do me, do me

"Since Day One"

"Since Day One"


Contrary to popular opinion I'm extremely shy
I'm not the kind of girl who goes for any kind of guy
I seem together yea you always say I'm cool
But baby ooh you know that there is always an exception to the rule

Cause I loved you since day one baby
I thought about it I'd swim the deepest sea
To love you my only lover

You are the answer and you are the deal
You are the driver the smoke and the spoke in the wheel
And I never, no I wouldn't lie
I'm gonna love you until I die

Since day one in my neighborhood
In my little black book, baby in my bed
Since day one in my daddy's car in my love my life
And I'll love you forever

Baby ooh I can't control my passion
I need to be free
I'm not too proud I want you baby
My desire it burns so righteously

I say forever that's a mighty long long time
I go down fast like second nature
Ooh wee baby that's the bottom line
Cause I loved you since day one baby

My knees were weak I loved you forever
I loved you since day one

You are the answer and you are the deal
You are the driver the smoke and the spoke in the wheel
And I never no I wouldn't lie
I'm gonna love you until I die

Since day one in my neighborhood
In my little black book, baby in my bed
Since day one in my daddy's car
In my heart and my soul
And I'll love you forever

Don't you get the feeling that
We've known each other somewhere before
Tenderly through time, Love's a mystery
Then it must be magic, effervescent, laced with passion Filled with ecstasy
Love is calling you, Love's calling me

Since day one... etc...

"Sleeping With The Enemy"

"Sleeping With The Enemy"


Creep, creep, creep,
Creep, creep, creep,

Baby's got another girl,
'Cross town by the tracks,
Baby likes to sleep around,
Well I guess I shoulda asked,
Lipstick on your collar baby,
Y'all know that's not my shade,
My phone's been ringing off the hook,
And I got hang-up calls for days.

Please don't stand so close to me,
I know you're lying,
Please don't kiss my neck baby,
I know you're cheating,
Please don't say another word,
I can't hear ya,
Your voice'll make me sleep with the enemy,
The way you talk silky soft,
Your touch'll make me sleep with the enemy,
I can't resist when we kiss,
Your hands'll make me sleep with the enemy,
In other words it's a shame,
Be careful not to sleep with the enemy,
Sometimes I just don't know my name.

Baby's like a sex machine,
He got limbs that's made of steel,
Got a six-pack showing strong,
And I like the way it feels,
What's that perfume I been smelling?
Y'all know that's not my scent,
You got a whole lot going on,
And it's more than just the rent.

Please don't push up on me boy,
I know you're cheating,
Please don't kiss my lips baby,
'Cause you been creeping,
Pelase don't say another word,
I can't hear you,
Your voice'll make me sleep with the enemy,
The way you talk silky-soft,
Your touch'll make me sleep with the enemy,
I can't resist when we kiss,
Your hands'll make me sleep with the enemy,
In other words it's a shame,
Be carfeul when you sleep with the enemy,
Sometimes I just don't know my name.

Feel so good to me, it must be a sin,
Somebody hold me back I'm giving in, yeah,
And if the man would ever leave I'd rather be blind,
Somebody call the doctor I'm about to loose my mind.

Creep, creep, creep,
Shit, baby,
Creep, creep, creep.

Your voice'll make me sleep with the enemy,
The way you talk silky-soft,
Your touch'll make me sleep with the enemy,
I can't resist when we kiss,
Your hands'll make me sleep with the enemy,
In other words it's a shame, baby,
Be carfeul when you sleep with the enemy,
Your life just might not be the same.

Now that I have made my bed,
I gotta lie in it,
Truth be told, don't say a word,
'Cause I ain't buying it,
I can't be blamed,
It's a shame, the way you make me feel,
You know your touch is just a tease,
I'm sleeping with the enemy.

Don't stand so close to me,
When you try to get the last kiss,
I know your moves,
Don't touch me, don't push up on me,
I can't avoid you,
Boy, you got me going in circles.

"Slow Grind"

"Slow Grind"


Everybody knows I've had my share of lovers baby
Let's let the record show
Some of them were rich and famous
But most of them were poor and shameless
Then came you and what was I supposed to do
When we're rolling around to a saxophone sound
Sassy slow
I like the way that you lfow deep inside
As we glide on a magic carpet ride

Give me a slow grind cause it'll do it to me
Every time - baby, baby
I want some more grind cause it'll do it to me every time
Slow grind - I told you I was going to have my cake
Slow grind - I told you I was going to have my cake

Everybody knows I'll have my cake and eat it too baby
This is my secret G
So put your finger on my trigger
When you pull back I figure
That you are ready to fire on me
When we are rolling around to a saxophone sound
Soakin' wet
I like the feeling I get deep inside
As we glide on a magic carpet ride

Give me a slow grind 'cause it'll do it to me every time
Slow grind - I told you I was going to have my cake
Slow grind - I told you I was going to have my cake

Loving you like this I can't help reminisce and wish
That we could do it all over again my sweet sweet baby
Memories of love we made you and I lying in the shade
You and I would never stop
You were on the bottom and I was on the top

"Smooth Tip"

"Smooth Tip"


This is a story about 2 Lovers
Who went their seperate ways
Impassioned lovers wrestling as one
The Smooth Tip

Common sense may tell me that the ending will be blue
Listening to my friends all goes up in smoke
When I'm making love to you
No one knows how you do your thing.
I'm a puppet on a string
Cause still waters run deep and kisses never lie
And day light turns to darkness
Humming birds do fly
And if I loved you too much baby,
It really don't matter
Just do it, do it
Do it to me on the smooth tip
Can't nobody groove me like you do
Do it to me on the smooth tip
Cause I'm down for you
I just got caught up in a triangle my dear
Then you ran away from here
Steal my heart and then you rob me blind
But no one in the world is that fine
Cause violets are blue
And roses are red
And I forgave all of your short comings once in the bed
And even though you never touched my sensitivity
I've got to admit it
You did it to me on
The smooth tip smooth tip baby
Can't nobody groove me like you do
Do it to me on the smooth tip
Cause I'm down for you
Nice and easy so bitter sweetly
You did me on the smoothe tip-I was down for you
And even though I may not kiss
Those sweet sweet lips again
I'll never forget you did it to me on the smooth tip
Ooh child come here
And let me whisper something in your ear
Smooth - I am smooth as silk baby

[rap: Lady Levi]
De way the man rest he is like a smooth operator
Wicked inna bed make me run likkle fever
Hug me kiss me rub me all over
Killing me with caresses
Yes me long fi be your lover
Long long time una still de pon me mind
You come first rest of dem ah reverse
I see you and I want you
And I hope that you want me to
You have the sweetest grind it a blow fi me mind
You make me whine my line
In the park in the dark you can get my love anywhere

"Snap Your Fingers"

"Snap Your Fingers"


Saw you there, Tall and dark, Handsome too
Put it all together baby and you got
Lots of groovy loving, Lover by the dozen
Giving you things like diamond rings
What they wouldn't do for you
At it's best there's still the emptiness
You travel down that road alone
Really got it going on

Snap your fingers and they all come running
But what about your love baby
Snap your fingers and they all come running
What are you thinking of baby

There you go up and down, in and out
What's another casual fling in the life of a groovy lover,
Underneath the covers
You hold on tighter still, to the thrill
What you wouldn't do for this
In your eyes you're so desensitzed
Traveling down the road alone
Really got it going on

Do you really have it all together,
I don't think so baby
I don't think that passion lasts forever, no no no

Snap your fingers and they all come running
But what about your love baby
Sanp your fingers and they all come running
What are you thinking of baby

[Rap:]
You got snakeskin boots, and raw silk suits
A big old house with lots of loot
Fancy cars with compact discs
And plenty of lips to kiss
You got leather and polished satin
You got that umpth, you're what's happening
You walk that walk, and talk that talk
But what about your love baby

Snakeskin, diamonds materialistic things baby yeah
Really kinda got it going on

You got cool boy
You got it all together
Snap your fingers and they all come running
I've been down that road a time or two
I've had my share of lovers just like you

[Rap:]
You got satin sheets, a penthouse suite
Diamonds in your rolex, honey
Materialistic things sonny
Snap your fingers and they come running fast
The old and young
Snap your fingers, but what about your love baby

(feat. Shirley Murdock)

"Soldier Boy"
(feat. Shirley Murdock)



Soldiers...
I'm sending this one out to all the men and women overseas...
Soldiers...
In hopes that you come home to your families...S
Oldiers

Give your love just for a lifetime
Faith is just at the right time
Hope here in the night time
Daylight brings the sunshine

Comfort when you needed it
Triviality trust try chance believed it

Send you sweet things through the front door
Give you all of this and much more

Soldier boy sleep there with the angels
Soldier boy keep you safe from danger
Soldier boy we will always be together
I love you, but God he loves you better

So much war and poverty
Wished that you could rest your head on me

To kiss each others' tears away
Keep all your fears at bay

Home as soon as possible
Remind you of the golden rule
See your son and daughter's eyes
In them I keep hope alive

Soldier girl sleep there with the angels
Soldier girl keep you safe from danger
Soldier girl we will always be together
I love you, but God he loves you better

Open up your heart you'll find it's heaven sent
And all your thoughts become so pure so relevant
Exceptions in your mind you'll find immaculate
And all you winter is no longer; test for test

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

I look around the world and all I see is so much pain and turmoil
Got to teach your kids not to waste and destroy the earth's soil
Send our children off to war and watch them die for crude oil
Find a positive of what is blue or we are foiled

If I had one wish right now, I'd wish I could hold you
Remind you of the sweet things your mama told you
Wrap my arms around you until this has been brought to closure
Read my letters back to back; you'll always be my soldier

You can count on me to understand; in my milk and honey land
Things are really not that bad; joyous tidings don't be sad
I'll be waiting right here for you; I am well and I adore you
Unconditional my love; higher than the stars above

Soldier boy sleep there with the angels
Soldier boy keep you safe from danger
Soldier boy we will always be together
I love you, but God he loves you better
