There ain't no shame in my game tell the world baby I love u

Sexy when you put it on me baby wit your rhythms
If you was a surgeon then you'd work me with precision
Got me goin deep I think I'm having innervisions
Got me going crazy got me wondering how I'm livin
Sexy when you put it on me baby wit your rhythms
If you was a surgeon then you'd work me with precision

"Batucada Suite"

"Batucada Suite"


Mary's into new things got a brand new bag
Superficial living made her life a drag
World stereotypes her as she coins the phrase
Living for the hot wax and the printed page
She no longer wants to boss the bull around
Contrary to popular belief
All she wants to do is get inside your head
And play the fun rythms of the street
Batucada Suite-rythms of the street
Music for the soul-Love to make you whole
Estebans a walker and a superman
Says that love will someday reign throughout this land
Says he's glad you let him try it all again
'Cause his last time on earth he lived life in sin
All he wants to do is spread his eagle wings
And fly south for the winter just like me
All he wants to do is get inside your head
And play the funky rythms from the streets
Batucada Suite-rythms for the feet
Music for the soul-geared to make you
Whole
Tribal drums of the African
The reggae of the Rastaman
The ragas of the indians
Rock-n-Roll music of my homeland
Tender lutes of the Orient
The salsa of Spanish descent
Jesus music is heaven sent
To remind us of what has went
Batu-Batu-cada
Batu-Batu-cada
I ya Ototele-the rhythms of Y Surdo
As I taste life bittersweet
I know I am not complete
Until the message in my
Songs are yours
If you feel a pain unfair
Crosses too heavy to bear
Preservation comes from
Peace not war
Batu-Batu-cada

"Beautiful (For Alia)"

"Beautiful (For Alia)"


[Verse 1:]
Today I watched your diamonds
Sparkling in the sand
God whispered to me
Everything's alright
She's a lot like you
That girl – she's special and...
Have you forgotten,
When you was throwin caution to the wind?

[Bridge:]
You were young and free
Three things from the wise
Hush now, let it be
If she comes back to you
You will always know
That you have to make her much more beautiful

[Chorus:]
Beautiful,
My baby – she's so beautiful
She sees down deep inside of my soul
She's so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful,
She's something like the summer rain
She gently plays her rhythms on my window pane
My baby's beautiful, my baby's lovely

[Verse 2:]
Tonight I had a movement
Here inside my hands
My tiny deserve
I don't have all the answers baby but you
Your fruit's like paradise
Little girl you're special and
So young and so restless
Sweet thing makes me breathless like the wind

You were young and free
Three things from the wise

She sees down deep inside of my soul

Beautiful,
She's something like the summer rain

[Verse 3:]
If she was a flower then she'd be a perfect rose
If she was a river then her heart would overflow
She sees inside of my soul
She takes me high and low
'Cause she's so beautiful

[Interlude:]
You're beautiful, beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, baby
My baby
Beautiful
She's something like the summer rain
She gently plays her rhythms on my window pane

Girl, you're beautiful
You're so beautiful
Girl, you're beautiful
Yea, you're beautiful

"Black Rain"

"Black Rain"


What Michelle say?
Do you love her as much as you love me?

I sit alone
I watch the phone get dial toned
Then you I've known
The marrow bone
A rolling stone

My body's well
On cigarettes and coffee grounds
Tears of a clown
Love had me downs
Reverbs and nouns

Because I can't stand the rain
Falling on the inside
Of my window pane
It gets so cold inside
So if you leave
Please make haste
Cause it's starting on the inside
And it just might be too late

Make no mistakes
You gonna drown and now it's on [? ]
To hear my rhyme
Sad as it goes
Five seven slow [? ]
I loved you so
Uh

The beautiful ones always smash the picture
Hooooo
No subtle hints
No words I missed
I quote a former Prince

Because I can't stand the rain
Falling on the inside
Of my window pane
It gets so cold inside
So if you leave
Please make haste
Cause it's starting on the inside
And it just might be too late

It's a thin line between love and hate baby
Here in my heart
Where pain is swift
And lyrics start
You took the best that I gave
As though I was your slave
Say it's not fair
It's willing tell her that you care
No time to delay
To be on your way

Black Rain
Black Rain
Black Rain
Black Rain!

Sweet black rain
I've been ordained
Taken from me again
Only plain rain remains

My heart is stained
Baptized by flame
You gave me pain
Sweet black rain
Only plain rain remains

Lord I love Black Rain
Black Rain
Black Rain
Black Rain, uh

Black Rain
Black Rain
I've been ordained
Black Rain

My sweet Black Rain
I wanna go outside
In Black Rain

I sit alone
I watch the phone get dial toned
Then you I've known
A rolling stone
The marrow bone

My body's well
On cigarettes and coffee ground
Tears of a clown
Reverbs and nouns
Love had me down
Sweet Black Rain

"Breakfast In Bed"

"Breakfast In Bed"


I guess that you - got next to me
Honey you were so persuasive
I gave in much to easy
Why you wanna come around here
Boy looking so fine
Let's talk about first impressions
It was the lasting kind
And I must confess the evening went straight to
My head
Cause we made love all night and then had
Breakfast in bed
Breakfast in bed - heavy on the cream
Kisses over easy and a side of everything
Breakfast in bed - loves the seasoning
May I take your order please
You must have known that I was hungry for your loving
I gave you all of my love and
Then gave you some more baby
Love deep enough to swim in
I opened up my heart and told you to come on in
Come on - come on in and let's have breakfast in bed

"Call Me (I Got Yo Number)"

"Call Me (I Got Yo Number)"


Why do you play this sly game
Why do you freak-I know you're weak for me
I only got an hour baby
I hate to go-But this is life on the road
You knew it when you met me
You said it was no problem
You said that you could deal now you feel
Just like a part-time lover
And though I have no other
Hey girl-I got your number

[Chorus:]
Call me, If you need some love and affection
Call me, Just look in my direction
Call me, For a little understanding child
Call me, Hey girl-I got your number

Why do you play this shy game
Why do you square-I know you care for me
100 miles per hour baby
I hate to go-But this is life on the road
You knew it when you met me
You said it was no problem
You said that you could deal now you feel
Just like a part-time lover
And though I have no other
Hey girl-I got your number-ugh

Call me, If you need some satisfaction
Call me, Just look in my direction
Call me, If you need some understanding child
I know your every move baby
I know you inside out
I know what makes you tick child
I know you like the back of my hand
I know the things you like to do
I know you need a love that's true
I'll give you everything and more
That's what I'm living for
Baby girl you know the score

Call me-
[Chorus]

Yeah, I got your number
I know you like the back of my hand
Hey girl-I got your number
I know what makes you tick child
Yes I know you
Call me-(ad lib)

If you want to ugh
Hey girl-I got your number
Call me, If you want to dance all night
If you want a love that's right
Hey girl-I got your number

I know you like the back-back of my hand
I know you like the favorite book on my nightstand
I know you like the way that you talk to the chicks
When I turn my head and they call you slick
I know you like the song that stays in my heart
I know you like drama and in time you'll see
That I rock real hard 'cause I am L.T.
Call me-Call me R.J.-I got your number
I know you like the way that I turn you round
When I hold you tight and I love you down
I know you like the most important ecstacy
That I ever heard and that could ever be
I know you like the streets that I grew up on
I know you like my rap and I know it's strong
I know you like I know you and I got to say
That I rock real hard 'cause I am the R.J.

"Can It Be Love"

"Can It Be Love"


Looking out my window today
Seeing nothing but your sweet face
I wonder what this feeling can be
What's come over me

Can it be love

Lying in your arms I have felt
A space in time that makes my heart melt
I wonder what this feeling can be
What's this ecstasy

Can it be love
Can it be love
Can it be love
Can it be your love

I feel new fire in the glow of your eyes
Feeling for the first time your lips as sweet as wine
The thought of you caressing me knocks me to my knees
You swept me off my feet, you made my life complete

Can it be love
Can it be love
Can it be love
Can it be your love

(Can it be love)

Memories and distant refrain
Visions of the love we just made
I wonder if this heart of mine will do
What you want it too

Will it be love
Can it be love
Can it be love
Can it be love

I feel the fire in your eyes
Tastin' for the first time your lips as sweet as cherry wine
You caressing me knocks me to my knees
You keep me safe, you keep me warm
I'm feeling like a quiet storm

Can it be love, baby, yeah
Can it be love
Can it be your love
You make my heart fly sky high
I just wanna testify
Baby, what your love has to for me
What your love has done

I feel the fire, I feel the power
I feel the fire, the power, the fire
Can it be love, ooh
Can it be your love, ooh...

Can it be love, ooh
Can it be your love

I feel the fire, I feel the power
I feel the fire, the power, the fire, ooh...

"Can't Last A Day"
(feat. Faith Evans)

"Can't Last A Day"
(feat. Faith Evans)



[Teena Marie:]
If the sun in the sky disappeared from view
If the love in my heart baby wasn't true
If the rivers and seas would just up and dry
If the moon pass away from the deep blue sky
If I lost all my faith in the Higher Power
Tell me where would I be in the final hours
I'll be losing my way baby I'd be through
Cause I can't live a day honey without you

Can't live a day baby without your love (can't last a day)
Can't even last one day without your love

Look at me baby
Thinking that I'm real cold
Thinking that I can keep from calling
To talk to you
Filling my days with
Things to occupy my mind
My mental state playing tricks on me
But my body never lies
Trust when I tell you
Baby your love is king
I'll be alright 'til you come back
But I wish you'd never leave
Losing the battle
What's up with my defense
Can't last a day without you
This don't make no sense

[Chorus:]
Don't need your touch (I don't need your touch)
Don't need your voice (your voice)
Don't need your hands (baby)
Can't last a day (can't last a day)

Don't need your arms (I don't need your arms)
Wrapped around me (wrapped around me, baby)
Don't need your love (I don't need your lovin')
Can't last a day (can't last a day)

[Faith Evans:]
Don't need your lovin'
Don't need your candy kiss
Don't need your voice to remind me
These are all the things I miss
Feels kinda crazy
When my love's coming down
Try not to listen baby
But my heartbeat starts to pound
Hot like the summer
Sweet like the morning dew
I need you like the four seasons
With each day comes I love you
Where have my faith gone
You hold it in your hand
Guess I should learn to trust you
Cause I need you baby, baby, baby

Don't need your touch (I don't need your touch)
Don't need your voice (your voice)
Don't need your hands (baby)
Can't last a day (can't last a day)

Don't need your arms (I don't need your arms)
Wrapped around me (wrapped around me, baby)
Don't need your love (I don't need your lovin')
Can't last a day (can't last a day)

If the sun in the sky disappeared from view
And the love in my heart baby wasn't true
If the rivers and seas would just up and dry
If the moon pass away from the deep blue sky
If I lost all my faith in the Higher Power
Tell me where would I be in the final hours
I'll be losing my way baby I'd be through
Cause I can't live a day honey without you

[Chorus:]
[Faith Evans:]
Would you tell that you love me can I have you?
[Teena Marie:]
Would you be my baby and my one and only Would you listen
I can't last a day without you

[Together:]
Trust me when I tell you baby

[Teena:]
Baby, your love is king
I'll be alright 'til you come back
But I wish you'd never leave

[Faith Evans:]
Losing the battle
What's up with my defense

[Together:]
Can't last a day without you (cause I need you baby)

[Chorus: fades out]

"Carte Blanche"

"Carte Blanche"


[Verse 1:]
You can take possession of my body
I'll give you the full authority
Call me on my unrestricted number if you like
If you want some company
I'm gon' leave it up to your discretion
'Cause it seems I've finally found my dime
And, if you wanna play with my affection
Then call me on my private line

[Chorus:]
Carte blanche, baby
Any story you write
I'm gonna sign for you, baby
You've got carte blanche, baby
You're really bossy, I know
But, I love when you take control

[Verse 2:]
There's someone here who wants to handle something
Giving you complete autonomy
It seems a crime to forget all we once were
I'm gon' let you handle me
I'm giving you the blank card, it's the black card
Like the jokers, highest guaranteed
And, if I let you kiss me it's all over
The kiss would give me much more potency

[Chorus:]
Carte blanche, baby
Any story you write
I'm gonna sign for you, baby
You've got carte blanche, baby
You're really bossy, I know
But I love when you take control

[Verse 3:]
Ask me; what you want?
And, I'll give you the world on a silver platter, baby
Here I stand holding a heart so true
And, if that doesn't do
Baby, then I'll try something new

[Interlude:]
What you wanna do?

[Verse 4:]
Handle your business, baby
I'm gonna let you handle me
I'm gon' let you dominate the hour, baby
I'm giving you the power over everything

[Chorus:]
Carte blanche, baby
Any story you write
I'm gonna sign for you, baby
You've got carte blanche, baby
You're really bossy, I know
But, I love when you take control

[Outro:]
So nice with it, baby
I'm gonna let you handle me
Got my signature, baby, you can rest assure
You got the cure, baby
Sign my name on the dotted line
And, it's right on time
You're so fine
