We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

This special need
That's within us
Brings out the best
Yet worst in us
Follow the passion
That's within you
Living the truth
Will set you free

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

Put others down
To fill us up
Oppressing me
Will oppress you
Outside leave judgment
Outside leave hate
One love's the answer
You'll find in you

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

Here I am in your face
Tellin' truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin' outta time
See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin' in your ear
Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win

Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth
If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away,you feel less than again

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

There's a feelin' inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make a try
And with it time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
'Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you,you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run for you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Have a feelin'
Now believin'
That you were the one
I was meant to be with
Oh, how I'm wishin'
Thinkin' dreamin'
'Bout you
And the love
How'd I ever let you get away

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

If I could turn back the hands of time
Make you fall in love
In love with me again
So would you give me
Another chance to love
To love you
Love you the right way
No games

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it aways seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's

Q-Tip: Let me just fuck with it for a minute

That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Q-Tip: Now you are realizing when the nights go long, right
Campaign for me to stay
When you know that I'm gone, right
You act all wild
When I tell you to settle
I was working 'round the clock
But your girls want to meddle
Talkin' about, I heard he swims with this chick on the beach
That was out with the tide but my love you impeached
Now you lookin' at the walls
Head in hand
Cold jonezin'
Ringing my house
Hang up and posing

Now why you wanna go and do that? Love huh…
And why you wanna go and do that? And do that? Huh
Now why you wanna go and do that? Love huh…
And why you wanna go and do that? And do that? Huh
Now why you wanna go and do that? Love huh…
And why you wanna go and do that? And do that? Huh
Now why you wanna go and do that? Love huh…
And why you wanna go and do that? And do that?

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep

Until the early light

'Cause in time I'll be out tonight
I'm startin' now
Makin' sure I look fine tonight

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
Cause we be up all night

'Cause I'm outta control tonight
(feelin' high don't wanna stop)
He's got me movin'
DJ groovin'
I feel way right
(groovin' I don't wanna stop)
I'm gettin' freaked from behind
I don't even mind
'Cause he lookin' damn fine
Make him mine in time
Gotta take him home
When I get him alone
I'll make him scream and moan
He won't wanna stop

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

I'm feelin' high tonight
Out of control tonight
I'm feelin' high tonight
I feel high

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me baby
I'll never forget my baby

When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey it's about you baby
Look deeper inside you baby

Dream about us together again
What I want us together again baby
I know we'll be together again 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

Good times we'll share again
Makes me wanna dance
Say it loud and proud
All my love's for you

Always been a true angel to me
Now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby
Wrap them around me baby

Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now baby
I'm so happy for my baby

Dream about us together again
What I want us together again baby
I know we'll be together again 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

Good times we'll share again
Makes me wanna dance
Say it loud and proud
All my love's for you

There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel you smile upon me baby
I'll never forget my baby

What I'd give just to hold you close
As on earth
In heaven we will be together baby
Together again my baby

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

How could it be
That you know me
My deepest fears
My fantasies
Confide in you
What no one knows
But it feels so real

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
When I see your name
My hearts starts to race
If I can't read your thoughts
Then I feel empty

Is this a new
Way to love
Never face to face
Is it enough
Does it really count
Or am I a fool
So tell me please
Am I wasting my time

Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
We've never met

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
When I see your name
My hearts starts to race
If I can't read your thoughts
Then I feel empty

I'm rushin' home
To turn you on
Sometimes you're there
Sometimes you're gone
Wait for hours
For your return
So tell me please
Am I wasting my time

Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
So tell me
You think that
Maybe we've gone insane
To find a, a lover
And through the words of pain
We've never met

We walked along the beach
What a moon lit night
He held my hand in his
He kissed me he said
I wanna spend my life with you
I want you for my wife
Just then I thought

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that

What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that

I took a pause
And then a deep sigh
He looked right into my eyes
As he said
I know I didn't say something wrong
I didn't have the courage to say
But then I thought

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that

What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh

What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said
No more please
What about those things
What about that
What about that

What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that
What about that

Don't wanna live my life in misery
Don't tell me you did 'cause you love me
I don't believe
I'm sick and tired
Your deceptive games
Wonder where
You have been
I can't live life wonderin'

My heart was poundin'
But the time had come
To stop lettin' my whisperin' heart control me
And tellin' my screamin' mind what to do
I looked him straight in the eyes
And then I said

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that

What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh

What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said
No more please
What about those things
What about that
What about that

What about the times you shamed at me
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that
What about that

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that

What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that

What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said
No more please
What about those things
What about that
What about that

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
'Cause everytime I see your face
My heart does begin to race every time

One half want me to go
Other half wants me to stay
I just get so all confused
I'm scared to fall in love
Afraid to love so fast
'Cause every time I fall in love
It seems to never last

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
'Cause every time I see your face
My heart does begin to race every time
I'm scared to fall in love
Afraid to love so fast
'Cause every time I fall in love
It seems to never last

Every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
'Cause every time I see your face
My heart does begin to race every time

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes
And sit right down
Loosen up the back
Of your pretty french gown
Let me pour ya
A good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna
Stop us now

Come on angel
My heart's on fire
Don't deny
This one desire
You'll be a fool
To stop this time
Spread your wings and let me
Come inside 'cause

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna
Stop us now

Don't say a word
My virgin child
Just let your
Inhibitions run wild
The secret is
About to unfold
Upstairs before the
Night's too old 'cause

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna
Stop us now

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but

Sittin' here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin' if
I have to do
Withoutcha

But there's no reason why I
Fell asleep late last night
Cryin' like a newborn child
Holdin' myself close
Pretendin' my arms are yours
I want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but

I still remember to the day
In fact it was a 3rd Monday
You came along
To be the one for me

Now I'm alone
Sittin' here by the phone
Call and say that you're ok
So that I'll have
The chance to beg you to stay
I want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but

I get so lonely
(Every time I see your face baby)
Can't let
(Every time I hear your name)
Just anybody hold me
(Hard to believe that you and me)
You are the one
(are no longer)
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
(Every time I see your face baby)
Can't let
(Every time I hear your name)
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but

Gonne break it down, break it down, break it down
Gonne break it down, break it down, break it down
You know that I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let
Just anybody hold me
You are the one
That lives in me my dear
Want no one but you

When you walked into the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room
And tell me all fantasies

The passion in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blind fold
Tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things
You're gonna do to me

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

One in the mornin'
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin'
Just my imagination for you
Sensation will do

Can you feel the warmth of the
Candlelight embrace your body
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down the small of my back
You wanna know what mah tounge feels like?
You like that?
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

Hold me
Kiss me
Show me
You wanna be with me

Feel me
Taste me
And maybe
I'll let you have me

When you do convince me
Can't turn back
I'll be your best
You know that good things don't come easy

(Hold me)
So are you ready
(Kiss me)
To journey
(Show me)
Within me
(Feel me)
I'll satisfy you
(Taste me)
I'll do anything
(Have me)
You ask me to
(Ask me)
Anything
(With me)
Anything

When you do convince me
Can't turn back
I'll be your best
You know that good things don't come easy

Hey J
It's been a long time since
I've seen you last
A half and twenty-six years
(My time is fast)
I'm well
Though I've gone through
Some deep changes in my life
It hasn't been easy
Oh no not for me
It's been difficult at times
Sometimes I'd sit down and cry
Ask God oh why
(Fair... what is?)

I know how you're feelin'
Same thing I did deal with
Ya not as alone
As you may feel

You see but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with our past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

We need to remember
The love lies deep within ourselves
We have to want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn
We're all born with specialness inside of us
I have the need
To feel real special too

You see you can't run away from your pain
Because wherever you run there will be
You have to learn to water your spiritual garden
Then you will be free

I know how you're feelin'
Same thing I did deal with
Ya not as alone
As you may feel

You see but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with our past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

Nothing's gonna stop us
We can't be stopped

I know that it's not been easy
Tryin' to make it in this crazy world
But people around you try to stop you,stop you
Saying that you don't belong

You must remember that
(You must remember)
We were born with blood of kings and queens that can't be stopped
(They can't be stopped)
Stand strong my sister you can't be stopped
(Stand strong my sister)
No you can't be stopped

I know that sometimes you get to feelin' life giving up on you
The pressure seems to defeat you
Whenever you can't go on

You must remember that
(You must remember)
You were born of blood of kings and queens that can't be stopped
(No they can't be stopped)
Stand tall my brother you can't be stopped
(Stand tall my brother)
No you can't be stopped

Don't ever let nobody tell you "you ain't strong enough"

Strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you "you ain't strong enough"
Don't let nobody tell you

You know that I will be right here
To remind you that we need togetherness
'Cause the long ride has not forgave you
Don't forget where you come from

You must remember that
(You must remember)
We were born with blood of kings and queens that can't be stopped
(They can't be stopped)
Stand strong my sister you can't be stopped
(Stand strong my sister)
No you can't be stopped

You must remember that
(You must remember)
You were born of blood of kings and queens that can't be stopped
(No, they can't be stopped)
Stand tall my brother you can't be stopped
(Stand tall my brother)
No you can't be stopped

Ohhh...

Strong enough
I won't let nobody tell you "you ain't strong enough"
I won't let nobody tell you "you ain't..."

Ohhh...

...Back to Janet...

...Back Home...
