Heartbreaker

Yeah  Aight, let's go  Gimme your love--(16x in background until start of first verse)  Hey, you gotta bounce to this like this  You're almost kinda watching this  Uh-huh  Whoo oo oo  Escape  Oh you look so good  I don't wanna let go  And although I should  I can't leave you alone  'Cause your so disarming  I'm caught-up in the midst  of you   and I   can not   resist   at all  (Chorus 1): Boy you have to do              The things you want to do              The way I used to do              Could you love   me   baby              Holding me feelin' you              Could you go and break my heart?  (Chorus 2): Heartbreaker you've got the best of me              but I just keep  on  coming  back  excessivly              Oh why    did you have to run your game on me?              I should have known   right   from   the   start              you'd  go  and  break my heart  (Gimme your love)--8x  It's a shame to be  so euphoric and weak  when you smile at me  and you tell me the things  that you know are stated  to relinquish my love   to you  but I   can not   resist   at all  (Chorus 1)  (Chrous 2)  (JAY-Z RAP):  OK  Cool  Aight  Yo  She wanna  shop wit Jay  play box wit Jay  She wanna  pillowfight in the middle of the night  She wanna  drive my Benz with five of her friends  She wanna  creep past the block, spyin' again  She wanna  roll wit Jay, chase skeeos away  She wanna  fight wit lame chicks, blow my day  She wanna  respect the rest, kick me to the curb  if she find one strand a hair longer than hers  She want  make love in the Jacuzzi  Rub up in the movies  Access to the old crib,  keys to da newbie  She wanna  answer the phone  tatoo her arm  last one I got her  sent it back to her mom  She call me  Heartbreaker  when we apart it makes her  wanna piece of paper,  scribble down "I hate ya"  But she know she love Jay because  she love everything Jay say Jay does, and a...  (Chorus 2)  (Chorus 2)  (Chorus 2, with no background music but with background vocals)  ..(can't make out, sounds like "Hey Trique"), that's a wrap!

Can't Take That Away

They can say anything they want to say  Try to bring me down  But I will not allow  Anyone to succeed  Hanging clouds over me  And they can try hard to make me feel  That I don't matter at all  But I refuse to falter  In what I believe  Or lose faith in my dreams  CHORUS:  'Cause there's a light in me  That shines brightly They can try  But they can't take that away from me  From me  They can do anything they want to you  lf you let them in  But they won't ever win  If you cling to your pride  And just push them aside  See  I have learned there's an inner peace I own  Something in my soul  That they cannot possess  So I won't be afraid  And darkness will fade  'Cause there's a light in me  That shines brightly  They can try  But they can't take that away from me  No  They can't take this  Precious love  l'll always have inside me  Certainly the Lord will guide me  Where I need to go  They can say anything they want to say  Try to break me down  But 1 won't face the ground  I will rise steadily  Sailing out of their reach  Oh Lord  They do try hard to make me feel  That I don't matter at all  But I refuse to falter  In what I believe  Or lose faith in my dreams  'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly  They can try  But they can't take that away from me  From me

Bliss

Touch me baby  lt feels so amazing  And you stimulatie me  And you make me want you  More and more  What do I do  What do I say  Does it feel good  To you this way I wanna be  All that you need  Boy what's your fantasy?  Setter hold on, ready or not  Baby my love ain't gonna stop  Take it down low  Make me get high  CHORUS:  Ooh my love goes  On and on and on and on and on  My love goes  On and on and on and on and on (X2)  See, all my love's for you  Baby don't you rush me, no  You got to take it slow  Just let the feeling grow  Until it overflows  Anyway you want it now  Just gotta teil me how  To give you everything  You've even dared to dream  lsn't it bliss  To you right now  Don't be subdued  Say it out loud  Ain't it a sweet  Luscious delight  When you're immersed in my  Ocean of love  Coming on strong  Baby I've been waiting so long  Revel inside of paradise  REPEAT CHORUS  So  Gimme some pure delectabie love  Like I'm gonna give to you  Keep coming around  'Cause I won't run out  I can't get enough of you  My love goes on  REPEAT CHORUS  All my love's for you

How Much

The way I feel for you  I can't describe  lt's almost too intense  To verbalize  Essentially you're all  I'm living for  And basically each day  I need you more and more  CHORUS:  Have you even been so enamored baby  That's how much I love you  All I need in this life, you see  Is me and my boyfriend  Have you ever feit lost  When you know you gotta leave me  That's how much I love you  Love is yours and mine  Till the very end  Just me and my boyfriend  Don't underestimate the love in me  lt's obvious these feelings run so deep  I fail and fail for you day after day  Nobody eise could ever take your place  REPEAT CHORUS  You don't gotta waste your time and worry  You don't gotta look for reassurance  'Cause elearly you're the only one that's getting this and  Sugar I don't need nobody else  But you  And honey I ain't letting go too soon  Because 1 can't get enough  Why you asking how much?  It's more than you can handle baby  REPEAT CHORUS

After Tonight

I look at you looking at me  Feels like a feeling meant to be  And as your body moves with mine  It's iike I'm lifted out of time  And time again  Patientiy I've waited  For this moment to arrive  CHORUS 1:  After tonight  Will you remember  How sweet and tenderly  You reached for me  And pulled me closer  After you go  Will you return to love me  After tonight begins to fade  I feel your touch caressing me  This feeling's all l'll ever need  With every kiss from your sweet lips  lt's like I'm drifting out of time  Alone will tell  If you feel the way I feel  When I look in your eyes  CHORUS 2:  After tonight  Will you remember  How sweet and tenderly  You reached for me  And pulled-me closer  After you go  Will you return to love me  After the night becomes the day  Time  And time and time again  So patiently I've waited  For this moment to arrive  CHORUS 3:  After tonight  Will you remember  How sweet and tenderly  You reached for me  And pulled me closer  After you go  Baby will you return to love me  After the night becomes the day  After tonight begins to fade

Ex-Girlfriend

CHORUS:  Ex-girlfriend you can't have him  lt's about time  That you found you a new man  He's moved on  Don't you know, don't you know  You gotta let him go,  Let him go, let him go  Ex-girifriend you don't listen  Stop trying  He's not gonna give in  He's not yours anymore  Don't you know  You gotta let him go  Let him go, let him go  Hey ex-girlfriend  lt's too bad when you had him  Y'all thing didn't work  But he's all mine now  So stop pursuing him  Before you get your feelings hurt  See our love is hot  And no, it won't stop  'Cause I got him on lock  And although he rejects you  lt don't seem to affect you  'Cause you just keep trying  To get wit him  So don't, don't keep, keep calling  Hanging up the phone  When I answer I know it  Tears you up inside and  Why do you sit in silence  On the other end  'Till I hang up and you  Predictably call right back again  REPEAT CHORUS  Hey ex-girlfriend  Whatever your name is  I'm really not amused  'Cause the things you do  Are very offensive  And sometimes straight up rude  All those late night calis and notes  On his car  Won't get you anywhere  You can call his mom  As much as you want  And he won't really care  So don't, don't keep, keep calling  Hanging up the phone  When I answer I know it  Tears you up inside and  Why do you sit in silence  On the other end  'Till I hang up and you  Predictably call right back aqain  REPEAT CHORUS  I understand why  You want him back  But don't you know  Our love's too strong  For you to penetrate  lt's too late  He's not your baby no more

Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away  Just let you leave without a trace  When I stand here taking  Every breath with you  You're the only one  Who really knew me at all  How can you just walk away from me  When all I can do is watch you leave  'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain  And even shared the tears  You're the only one  Who really knew me at all  So take a look at me now  Oh there's just an empty space  And there's nothing left here to remind me  Just the memory of your face  Take a look at me now  'Cause there's just an empty space  And you coming back to me is against all odds  And that's what I've got to face  I wish I could just make you turn around  Turn around and see me cry  There's so much I need to say to you  So many reasons why  You're the only one  Who really knew me at all  So take a look at me now  'Cause there's just an empty space  And there's nothing left here to remind me  Just the memory of your face  Take a look at me now  'Cause there's just an empty space  But to wait for you is  All I can do  And that's what I've got to face  Take a good look at me now  'Cause l'll still be standing here  And you coming back to me is against all odds  That's the chance I've qot to take  Take a look at me now

Crybaby

When I think of our untimely end  And everything we could have been  I cry, baby I cry  Ok so it's 5 am and  I still can't sleep  I took some medicine  But it's not working  Someone's clinging to me  And it's bittersweet  'Cause he's head over heels  But it ain't that deep  I finally changed my number  Got a different pager  Then last Saturday  Your cousin called to say you're  Tryin' to reach me  Probably because you see that  I'm with someone new  CHORUS:  Late at night like a littie child  Wandering around alone in my new friend's home  On my tippy toes  So that he won't know  I still cry baby  Over you and me  Sipping Bailey's Cream  Sy the stereo  Trying to find relief  On the radio  I'm suppressing the tears  But they start to flow  'Cause the next song I hear  Is a song I wrote  When we first got together  Early that September  I can't bear to listen  So I might as well drift  In the kitchen  Pour another glass or two  And try to forget you  REPEAT CHORUS  SNOOP'S VERSE  REPEAT CHORUS (3X)

Did I Do That ?

I really hope  When you hear this song  That you're happy  With someone new  I found a love I can call my own  And I owe it in part to you  Don't you know that you seem  Just a little crazy  You had my trust and intimacy  But you threw it away just threw it away  And now it's all in the past  When I think of you  I just laugh  My friends must have thought  I was high to have given so much  To someone not worth my time  CHORUS:  Funny how sometimes  You can really lose your mind  And things you would never do  You rhapsodize  And get caught up in the hype  'Till your senses return to you  Love plays you for a fool  You were so insecure  And your crew was so immature  Conversations, painfully weak  You were much better off  When you didn't speak  But boy to teil you the truth  lt was my illusion of you  Being somehow destined for me  That had me in a daze  But we're not the same in truth  REPEAT CHORUS  I really hope when you hear this song  That you know it was meant for you  Though your attention span's not that long  Try to do the best you can do!

Petals

I've often wondered if there's  Ever been a perfect family  I've always longed for undividedness  And sought stability  A flower taught me how to pray  But as I grew, that flower changed  She started flailing in the wind  Like golden petals scattering  CHORUS 1:  And I miss you dandelion  And even love you  And I wish there was a way  For me to trust you  But it hurts me every time  I try to touch you  But I miss you dandelion  And even love you  I gravitated towards a patriarch  So young predictably  I was resigned to spend my life  With a maze of misery  A boy and a girl befriended me  We're bonded through despondency  I stayed so long but finally  I fled to save my sanity  CHORUS 2:  And I miss you little sis and  Little brother  And I hope you realize  l'll always love you  And although you're struggling  You will recover  And I miss you little sis and  Little brother  So many I considered  Closest to me  Turned on a dime and sold me  Out dutifully  Although that knife was chipping  Away at me  They turned their eyes away and  Went home to sleep ...  CHORUS 3:  And I missed a lot of life  But l'II recover  Though I know you really like  To see me suffer  Still I wish that you and I'd  Forgive each other  'Cause I miss you, Valentine  And really loved you  I really loved you -  I tried so hard  But you drove me away  To preserve my sanity -  And I lound the strength to break away  Fly...

Thank God I Found You

(Mariah)  I would give up everything  Before I'd separate myself from you  After so much suffering  I've finally found a man that's true  I was all by myself for the longest time  So cold inside  And the hurt from the heart it would not subside  I felt like dying  Until you saved my life  (Chorus - all)  Thank God I found you  I was lost without you  My every wish and every dream  Somehow became reality  When you brought the sunlight  Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude  Cause baby I'm so thankful  I found you  (Joe)  I would give you everything  There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do  To ensure your happiness  I'll cherish every part of you  Because without you beside me I can't survive  I don't wanna try  If you're keeping me warm each and every night  I'll be all right  Cause I need you in my life  (Chorus - all)  Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)  I was lost without you (so lost without you)  My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)  Somehow became reality  When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)  Completed my whole life  I'm overwhelmed with gratitude  Cause baby I'm so thankful  I found you  -Bridge- (Mariah & Joe)  See I was so desolate  Before you came to me  Looking back I guess it shows  that we were destined to shine  After the rain to appreciate  And care for what we have  And I'd go through it all over again  To be able to feel this way  (Chorus - all)  Thank God I found you  I was lost without you (lost without you baby)  My every wish and every dream  Somehow became reality  When you brought the sunlight  Completed my whole life (whole life)  I'm overwhelmed with gratitude  Sweet baby I'm so thankful  I found you  (Chorus - all)  Thank God I found you  I was lost without you  I'm overwhelmed with gratitude  My baby I'm so thankful  I found you  (Mariah)  I'm overwhelmed with gratitude  My baby I'm so thankful I found you
