Madly

He’s not the kind of man you can push around

No he’s not the kind of man who will run all over town

He’ll be right there to pick me up whenever I am down

I know he loves me madly, I know he needs me badly

Because he shows me every day in every way how much he cares

And he would never leave me, no he would not deceive me

I know that morning, noon, and night I call on him and he’ll be there.

He’s not the kind of man to just buy you flowers in the spring

He knows there’s more to commitment than a shiny a diamond ring

Oh my baby, I know that he loves me and he’ll always be true

And he’ll be there for me whenever I am blue

He’s got to care for me oh yeah the whole day through

And share his thoughts with me he knows just what to do

I know he loves me madly, I know he needs me badly

Because he shows me every day in every way how much he cares

And he would never leave me, no he would not deceive me

I know that morning, noon, and night I call on him and he’ll be there.

Come On and Dance

I see you sitting over there. Can’t help myself I’ve got to stare

You are so beautiful you see. I wanna have you all for me

I smile and when you look my way thinking of what I want to say

I walk over to say hello. Don’t want to scare you off move slow

The conversation’s going well. Do you like me it’s hard to tell.

The DJ plays my favorite song. I tap my toes and sing along

You get the hint and say let’s go. I’m not about to tell you no

‘Cause I’m ready to take a chance. You know I really want to dance.

Prechorus:

It’s just one night for us, come on take my hand

Let’s go out and dance

Chorus:

Come on and dance, baby just lose control

Come on and hit the floor

Come on and dance, baby just lose control

You’re what I’m looking for

Oh baby can you feel the heat, moving your body to the beat

I’m not looking for Mr. Right, just want to dance with you tonight

So move your body close to me and let the music set you free

Don’t wanna have a one night stand, don’t want a ring upon my hand

Prechorus

Chorus 2X

I think I’m falling for your charms, it feels so right within your arms

We move together perfectly, only just met how can this be

Don’t want to complicate my life, don’t want to be somebody’s wife

I only want you here and now. Where are we going anyhow?

Chorus 2X

Real

Baby boy we’ve been circling round now let’s cut to the chase

Either tell me what’s on your mind or I’m walking out of this place

We’ve been playing this gave for far to long and I’ve had quite enough

I’ve anted up so show your cards, baby I’m calling your bluff

Prechorus:

So tell me how you feel or I’m telling you goodbye

These are your only choices and I don’t want you to lie

Just give it to me straight. Do you love me or not?

‘Cause I’m getting on with my life if this is all you got

Chorus:

Baby tell me is it real

I gotta know just how you feel

Come on tell me is it real

I wanna know boy what’s the deal

Do you love me or not?

If you can’t say those three little words then I got two for you

I’ll say goodbye, walk out that door, it’s what I gotta do

You know that I’m not kidding around and this is quite absurd

I’ve had enough of your actions, it’s time to put into words

Prechorus

Chorus

I wanna know, come on let’s go

Tell me it’s real. How do you feel?

Don’t hesitate. I just can’t wait

Tell me now, I gotta know. Just one more chance. Don’t want to go.

Baby asks me if it’s real, damn how I love her sex appeal

I can look her in the face and say yeah it’s real

‘Cause her body sends me straight to chill

She feels like ecstasy every time she gets next to me

Me and you baby one on one.

So now you know just how I feel

I guess I gotta gotta gotta keep it real.

Chorus

Mirror, Mirror

You lie, cheat, and manipulate, pretending that you care

But never get the things you want, the world is so unfair

Things never seem to go your way, life’s throwing you a curve

Funny you can’t figure out, you get what you deserve

Chorus:

Mirror, mirror on the wall it wouldn’t lie to you

Take a long hard look and see what I already knew

You put the blame on everyone and none upon yourself

But your reflection doesn’t lie, it’s you and no one else

You work so hard to isolate, you must retain control

But you’re the devil in disguise and I want back my soul

I’m not some puppet on a string, I’ve got to cut me loose

I can’t keep on forgiving you, there’s really no excuse

Chorus

One by one you used your friends, now one by one they’re gone

You look around and wonder how you ended up alone

Chorus

Tonight Is the Night

written by Betty Wright

Tonight is the night that you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me and I-I hope you will, mmm...mmm...
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’ waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax but I just can’t keep still, no

I can hear your car door slammin’
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just can’t help actin’ like a child
You’re knockin’ on my door and you’re ringin’ my bell
Hope you’re not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we’re both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night that you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me and I-I hope you will, hmm...mmm...
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’ waitin’ for you to walk in
Tryin’ hard to relax but I just can’t keep still

Hope my mama doesn’t come home early
And catch us doin’ what we’re doin’
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship it’ll all be ruined
But we’ve gone a little bit too far now Oh, to turn around
So let’s just pray That true love is what we’ve found

Tonight, tonight, Tonight, tonight
oh, I’ll never forget tonight
No, I’ll never forget tonight
That’s when you make me feel real, mmm...hmm...
You make me feel real, real good, yeah

You make me feel good and I wanna thank you darling
‘Cause you gave me Uh, uh, pure love, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, pure love Said I like that, baby
Uh, uh, pure love Uh-uh-uh, pure love

I love ya, I know it, I ain’t too proud to show it 4X
Tonight, tonight, Tonight, tonight

Step by Step (Love Is On the Way)

You never know where you’re gonna find love, you just might be surprised

When you go about your day like any other day and someone comes into your life

In the past you were searching high and low, you were looking everywhere

And just about the time you had all but given up, you see him standing there

Chorus:

Step by step and minute by minute love is on the way

You don’t always know what you got till you’re right there in it love is on the way

And you’re whole world can change in an New York minute love is on the way

Take the time to look for love every single day

Your problems just seem to melt away when he holds you in his arms

He’s kissing your neck, runs his hands through your hair. You’re falling for his charms

And you can see a future filled with happiness when you look into his eyes

The feeling that you get you’ve never felt before and then you realize

Chorus

Step one we’ll be having some fun

Step two oh baby I’m falling for you

Step three this is how it should be

Step four you know I want you more

Step five God I feel so alive

Step six and then everything clicks

I can’t believe this is happening to me ‘cause baby this is the way love’s supposed to be

Chorus

Your Kiss

Every morning when you leave home

I miss you the minute you are gone

Your conversation and your warm embrace

Your laughter and your beautiful face

But most of all I miss

Your kiss, yeah, it’s everything I’m looking for

Your kiss is what I miss. Each one leaves me wanting more

If I say I don’t need it well you know I lied

Your kiss makes me feel so good inside

And you know I gotta have it like the earth needs sun and rain

Kiss me once, oh baby kiss me again, cause you know I need it

And if the world should end tomorrow (I could not bear)

I would be filled with so much sorrow (cause I can’t live without you baby)

To never feel your lips again on mine (I need you, I need you)

I need your kiss till the end of time (till the end of time)

You know I got to have it. I just can’t live without it

I’m gonna tell the world yeah. I’m gonna jump and shout it

You know your kisses baby make me weak in the knees

It’s like you cast a spell, Oh kiss me baby please

Please don’t make me beg

Cause I just can’t wait

I need your kiss

I’m gonna shout it

Tell the world about it

Uh your kiss

Trust in Me

The world can be so cruel boy and love won’t always last

Sometimes it’s hard to put the pain in the past

To take a risk on something that may not be meant to be

Not knowing will it imprison you or will it set you free

Trust in me. I won’t let you down yeah baby I’ll always be around

Have faith in me. I won’t let you fall, you know I’ll answer when you call

I see a deep sadness when I look into your eyes

All the pain that you’ve been through and then I realize

I never want to be the cause of one single tear

I want to make you smile, I want to wash away your fears.

So if you put your trust in me, if you believe in me

Just reach your hand out to me, have faith that we can be

Then all the sadness will melt away

And the dawn will bring a much brighter day

Trust in me. I won’t let you down yeah baby I’ll always be around

Have faith in me. I won’t let you fall, you know I’ll answer when you call

Reach out to me. I’ll always comfort you and baby we’ll see the world anew.

Ya gotta believe in me. That’s all you gotta do. You know our love will see us through.

Open Your Heart

Open your heart and let the light shine in at last

Just let the love wash away the pain of the past

Then look around and you’ll see all the joy life can bring

In each and every smile on every face and every song that you sing

Chorus:

And like a child who is born already willing to trust

Just close your eyes, take my hand and believe that you must

Begin down the path of a journey that will lead from despair

Just take that first step and soon you’ll be there

Through all the rain w hen it seems the sun might never shine again

Fight through the pain and in your heart you know that some day you will win

Whatever challenges you might face down whatever road you may choose

If you just believe in yourself there’s no way you can lose

Chorus

And then you’ll learn that everything in life you need

Will come to you if you just make room and believe

And once you know wherever you are

I’ll be right by your side if you open your heart

Chorus

Just open your heart and let the light shine in on you

Open your heart

You Say

You’re tramping round on me. Think I’m too blind to see

Well that’s just stupidity ‘cause I’ll figure it out eventually

When you realize you’re off track a nd you come running back

I’m serious as a heart attack w hen I say it’s intelligence you must lack

Chorus:

You say I love you baby. Can’t live without you baby

Oh please forgive me baby. ‘Cause I need you in my life

I say forget it baby. You know I don’t mean maybe

Boy you must think I’m crazy t o let you back into my life

Born your mama’s pride and joy. Still a spoiled rotten little boy

But I’m not some convenient toy no matter what tactics you employ

Now you know I’ve moved on a nd you miss me since I’ve gone

It’s too bad that all along y ou couldn’t admit when you were wrong

Chorus

I Need a Man

You say you’re coming home but not home to me

You see you’ve got a wife and a family

And you say baby baby baby baby that’s just how it’s got to be

But some day soon I promise you that I will be free to love you

But I need a man, I need one true love

Someone to hold my hand, I need one true love

Yes I need a man, I need one true love

Someone to understand, I need one true love

I’ve got a friend and he loves this girl

But she doesn’t notice him, he’s not part of her world

And he says I would give anything if she’d just look my way

Oh baby boy, I’m sorry but I just got to say she don’t love you

‘Cause she’s got a man, and he’s her one true love

He’s there to hold her hand, yes he’s her one true love

She’s got a man, and he’s her one true love

He’s there to understand, yes he’s her one true love

You know it’s hard when you love someone

And they’re not right for you, it hurts so bad

You just don’t know what you’re gonna do

They say be patient, is there someone out there for me

‘Cause I need a man, I need one true love

Someone to hold my hand, I need one true love

Yes I need a man, I need one true love

Someone to understand, I need one true love

Conquer the World

Chorus

Together you and I, we can fly, we can conquer the world.

Yes we can spread our wings and do a thousand things. You’re my boy; I’m your girl.

Come fly with me through eternity, till the end of time.

Our life’s an empty page and the world’s our stage. I’m so glad that you’re mine.

Chorus

If you’re on my side this rollercoaster ride is just one big thrill.

So let’s roll the dice, don’t have to ask me twice. Say the word and I will.

Chorus

Bridge:

There isn’t any storm that we can’t weather safely

‘Cause all we gotta do is stick together baby

And now we understand our life has just begun

Come on and take my hand, we’ll fly up to the sun

Hand in hand we’ll make our plans and we’ll write our fate.

Whatever road we choose, we can’t lose, and I just can’t wait.

Chorus:

Yeah baby you and me ‘cause it was meant to be all we gotta do (is hold on to each other)

And we can make our way each and every day you know that it’s true (if we believe in one another)

You’'re Not Really Mine

Brought together by circumstance

Two lonely people took a chance

Found a moment, made it ours

Dancing underneath the stars

Fireworks, a stolen kiss

Nothing else compares to this

It feels so right yet it’s so wrong

But we both knew that all along

Chorus:

You’re not really mine and I’m not really yours

We’re stealing moments of time hiding behind closed doors

And this ride has no destination

C there be a happy ending

When the players know they’re breaking every single rule

I think of you both night and day

Knowing you’re so far away

Separated by miles or obligation

Darling that’s no consolation

I know that’s how it has to be

But is there any chance for you and me

Or is there only here and now

Where are we going any how

Chorus

Is it joy or is it pain

Or are they both the same

When you’re playing a losing game

Chorus

Top

Alone

I’m alone inside my head, playing back each word you said

Hoping that I’ll somehow find something honest, true, and kind

But every word was just a lie, not the truth you felt inside

All the pain that I try to hide through all these tears for you I cried

Chorus:

(Because/And now) I feel so alone

Surrounded by faces that can never know

All the pain I cannot share

Finding out you didn’t really care

Will it go away

I don’t know if I can go on another day

With all this emptiness I feel inside

It’s just so hard to say goodbye

I used to feel so secure, never doubting or unsure

Confident because of you and the love I thought I knew

How could I have been so wrong to not realize all along

That your love never belonged to me. If it never was, how could it ever be

Make this pain go away

Keep this loneliness at bay

Let me feel love again

And this time don’t let it end

Is there someone out there for me

Someone to love eternally

Come set me free

Chorus

Top

A Poisonous Kiss

Boy I’m so in love with you but I can’t take the hurt

I gave you everything I had till you found me without worth

It wasn’t me you wanted. It’s someone else you want me to be

Trying to be someone that I’m not leaves me drowning in misery

Chorus:

Your smile lights up my face

Your kiss it makes me melt

But your cruel words cut so deep

I feel like I’m losing myself

You say you don’t need me on your side. Boy I feel sad for you

But not as sad as when you wake up and realize that you do

Some day you’ll come to understand what I’ve known all along

You can’t live without my love. Well too bad and too late ‘cause I’m gone

You tell me that you love me. But you don’t catch me when I fall.

You tell me that you miss me. But you don’t answer when I call.

The highs are just too fleeting on this rollercoaster ride

Just one poisonous kiss leaves me feeling empty inside

So that’s it boy I’m through, I’ve had enough of you
