"Lead Me On"

"Lead Me On"


Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watch for the emotions
On a guarded face
Saying lead me on

Victim of a dream
And a memory
But when I try to break free
You say to me
C'mon lead me on

A matter out of time
In the reaches of space
Caught up in the patterns
In the light of a life
Walk across the bridge
To the shadows of the night

Saying lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
On and on

Voices in the night
Chase the demons away
Looking in the mirror
It's easy to say
C'mon lead me on

The choices of a lifetime
In the dreams of a day
When the coast is gettin' clearer
I hear you say
Lead me on

A matter out of time
In the look on your face
Caught up in the patterns
In the light of a life
Walk across the bridge
To the shadows of the night

Talk to me of lightning - I'll hear what you say, my love
Reaching for the meaning all of the way
I can keep believing in you and me, my love
Finding the answers that we need - sometimes it's meant to be

Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watch for the emotions
As they cross your face
Saying lead me on

I see you in a dream
And a memory
A captive of the light
You say to me
Lead me on

"Light"

"Light"


Last night Jesus shined a heavenly light
Through my window in the dark of night
He made me see all of the joys that love could bring
He makes my spirit move endlessly
I am a child of the heavens
Alleluia my Jesus died for me
Thank you Father for all the sings you've given me

"Lips To Find You"

"Lips To Find You"


So you say you're leaving for the Southern tip of Spain
To soak up local color and forget my name
To live inside the major, not the minor chord
And forget how we made love in a '57 Ford

Lips to find you, lips to find you (Baby, I've got)
Lips to find you (And there's nowhere you can run, baby)
Lips to find you, lips to find you (There's nowhere to hide)
Lips to find you

Crystal blue persuasion in your dreams the spice
Will find you chilly killy in your bed at night
In the most remote of places you can't hide
'Cause once is not enough when you've been satisfied

Lips to find you, lips to find you (Baby, I've got)
Lips to find you (And there's nowhere you can run, baby)
Lips to find you, lips to find you (There's nowhere to hide)
Lips to find you (From the power of my tenderness)

There's nowhere to run
And there's no where you can hide from me
There's nowhere to hide
From the power of my tender
I've got lips to find your love

I'm talking to you, boy
What are you gonna do, boy
Hear me talking to you, boy
What are you gonna do, baby
What are you gonna do, oh, babe
What are you gonna do

So you say you're leaving for the Southern tip of Spain
To soak up local color and forget my name
To live inside the major, not the minor chord
And forget how we made love in a '57 Ford

But I've got lips, lips to find you
I've got lips, lips to find you

What are you gonna do when there's nowhere to run
When there's no where you can hide from me
When there's nowhere to hide
From the power of my tender
I've got lips to find your love

I'm talking to you, boy
What are you gonna do, boy
Hear me talking to you, boy
What are you gonna do
When you call my name from the South of Spain
What are you gonna do
When you miss my lips and you start to trip
What are you gonna do
When I get to you with my crystal blue
What are you gonna do
When you miss me, baby, and you're going crazy

What are you gonna do, baby, do, baby, do, baby, do, baby
What are you gonna do for me, do for me, do for me, do for me
What are you gonna do, baby, do, baby, do, baby, do, baby
What are you gonna do for me, do for me, do for me, do for me

I've got lips, lips to find you
I've got lips, lips to find you
I've got lips, lips to find you
I've got lips, lips to find you

"Lonely Desire"

"Lonely Desire"


Hey you, back there!
Crying out in dark despair
Your spark-long gone
Did it vanish like the light of dawn

You lied-you tried
Playing it off like it don't hurt you
You used to be so full of fire
Now all that's left is lonely desire

Lonely desire-who put out your fire
Lonely desire-who put out your fire

Why do-you do
All the things that you despise
Your ways so crazed
I could have told you they were born to die

Your heart bleeds-weak knees
Playin it off is so hard to do
You used to be so full of fire
Now all that's left is lonely desire

Lonely desire-who put out your fire
Lonely desire-who put out your fire

Oh did you know I saw what I pretended not to see
I saw you
You ought to think about it
You ought to let me get close to you

Let me start your fire
Let me start your fire
Let me start your fire
I'll put an end to this lonely desire, baby

Oh did you know I saw what I pretended not to see
I saw you
You ought to think about it
You ought to let me get close to you

Adlib... sho do sho do-
You need lovin' too
Let me start your fire

"Love Is A Gangsta"

"Love Is A Gangsta"


Love brought you in this world, baby
Love is gonna take you out,
Can't you see?
Love will make you stay out all night long,
Away from me,
Love will make you say the sweetest things,
Now you're talking crazy (gangsta)

Love is a pocket watch, solid gold,
Always runs a little late,
Kinda cold,
Love will have you stranded on the corner,
In the rain,
That's what happens when the hunter's captured
By the game (gangsta)

Love is a gangsta,
Love is the ultimate Don, it's a gangsta,
It's the black and white keys on a piano,
And an O-G singing soul,
Love is a gangsta,
Love is the Valentine's Massacre Gangsta,
Have you actin' kinda shady, making lots of babies,
Playing with the ladies' heads, oh

Love is a Marvin Gaye, hear the call,
Baby you sure love to play, "Love to ball"
Love is gonna soothe the savage beast,
Hear me now,
Before I put you right back on your leash,
'Cause you been foul,
Love is a natural,
Nice and round,
Foxy just like Ms. Pam Grier,
Pretty and brown,
Love will have you sexing all night long,
'Cause you're the man,
Now you're laying up in the cut,
With the upper hand (Gangsta)

Love is a gangsta,
Love is a pintstripe suit-wearing gangsta,
A machine gun in a violin case,
Take you here and take you there,
Love is a gangsta,
A bootleg liquored up gangsta,
Gets no better than this, has an iron-clad fist,
It's a diamond tiara, a gangsta

Love'll make you come home early, (early),
Make you stay out all night long, (all night long, gangsta),
Love'll make you do some things, (some things),
Baby that you know is wrong, (know is wrong, gangsta),
Love'll have you stranded out on Crenshaw, (Crenshaw),
Crying the blues there in the rain, (in the rain, gangsta),
Make you forget who you are, where you going,
Where you came from baby,
Now you're feeling so much pain (so much pain, gangsta),
Love'll have you crawling 'round your carpet (crawling),
Searching for your rock cocaine (cocaine, gangsta),
Make you forget to count your blessings (blessings),
Knowing God's love will sustain (sustain), ooh,

Love is a gangsta,
The ultimate Don, it's a gangsta,
Machine gun in a violin case,
Take you here and take you there,
Love is a gangsta,
A bootleg liquored up gangsta,
Have you actin kinda shady, making lot's of babies,
Playing with the ladies' heads

Be careful 'bout the company that you keep,
Or you might just end up loosing sleep,
Paying the price that most of us will find too steep,
And in the end you're right back on the street,

Love is an O-G gangsta,
A diamond tiara, a gangsta,
The ultimate Don, it's a gangsta,
A platinum chain, it's a gangsta,
Love is an O-G gangsta,
A diamond tiara, a gangsta
The ultimate Don, it's a gangsta,
A platinum chain, it's a gangsta...

"Love Me Down Easy"

"Love Me Down Easy"


Love me down easy and then say good-bye
Love me down easy and I'll try not to cry
Even if it means I have to wait until my next life
I don't care it's just something to do
Like the petals of five dozen roses with white chocolate
And champagne in bed that's how I think of you

'Cause you're sweeter than the taste of a cherry so rare
When you love me-love me-love me down easy

Love me down easy and then savor each kiss
Love me down easy for it's you that I miss
Even if it means I have to wait beside my telephone
When all the while I know it might not ring
Call it foolish I think not-for false pride is a sin and baby
You know that you've been my everything

'Cause you're sweeter than the taste of a cherry so rare
When you love-love me-love me down easy

I think it's time for you to call my name
Don't say a word darling
There's no need to explain
'Cause you're sweeter than the taste
Of a cherry so rare
And no matter where you are just call my name
Say the words darling and I'll be there

You turn my head around
Ooo when you love me down easy baby easy lover
Baby baby baby love-easy-easy

"Love Starved"

"Love Starved"


[Verse:]
I was looking for love baby in all the wrong places
Trying to put a square pet into a circular hole
Trying to recreate something I felt back in my youth
A long, long time ago when life was beautiful

Settling for some things that just weren't me baby
Trying to turn pain into ecstasy baby
Just when I thought I could never be truly happy baby
The sky turned blue, and then it came you

Baby I'm love starved, hungry for real love
Wishing on a star, looking for pure love
With a heart that's true,
Need a confident protection boy
Love's all for you

[Chorus:]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved

[Verse:]
Hunger pains and I was thirsty
Seem like all the time
No one could fulfill the empty spaces in my mind
You're the kind of guy that turns a gray sky colorful
That's why I love you so, deep down inside my soul

Just like on a circle sweetness in a candy store
You're everything I want in a man and so much more
Stop, look, listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
That's the one who walking down to lover's lane

Baby I'm love starved, thirsty for real love
Wishing on a star,
I still wait to send me somebody sweet and kind
Need all of your provision shall
And I will find

[Chorus:]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved

Hungry for real love
And here you are, thirsty for somebody
With a heart that's true
Need a substance baby, I'm starving for you

[Chorus (x2):]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved

[Verse:]
Wake up girl it's time for you to recognize
Open up your eyes it's time to realize
Hungry quite in love will make you so all alone
Make you feel like a stranger in your own home

[Chorus (x4):]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved

[Bridge:]
If you're hungry for real love baby
Come round here
If you're looking for real love sugar
Baby just come right here
If you're feeling thirsty or lonely
Come round here
If you're love starve for me boy
Baby just come round here

[Chorus (x2):]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved

I'm love starved, I'm hungry for you

[Chorus (x3):]
Baby I'm hungry, thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved
