(1) SEX IN THE SUMMER



SEX IN THE SUMMER, GETTIN' IT ON
GIMME THAT NUMBER, WE CAN PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG
CHECKIN' FOR BIKINIS, LAYIN' IN THE SAND
RUB IT LIKE A GENIE, LIVIN' WHILE WE CAN

AFTERNOON IN THE CITY, SOMEWHERE IN JULY
POLICEMEN ACTING...YEAH, U KNOW
DE"ELEVATE A BROTHA'S HIGH
THE MAMAS IN THE SHORT DRESS, BLOWING IN THE BREEZE
THE PAPAS' JUST A"PRAYING 4 THE GUEST
THAT WILL BUST THAT BUTT OUT, PLEASE, OH!

CHORUS

EVERYBODY'S GOT A BLACK BOOK, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
IN CASE THE SUN IS SHININ' AT THE BEACH
AND THE HONEY'S ARE OUT 2 PLAY
THE COOL BOYS JUST A"WATCHIN'
ALL THE PRETTY MOVES U MAKE
FRONTIN' IN THE SUN, JAMMIN'FOR THE ONE
LOVER THAT U WANT 2 TAKE HOME

CHORUS

CHECKIN' OUT MAHALIA'S GREATEST IN THE UPPER ROOM
WHEN MY BOY KIRK CALLS, SAYIN':
"HOPE WE GET 2GETHER SOON
WE CAN FIRE UP THE HONDA AND PICK UP RHONDA
AND WE JAM ON A BRAND NEW TUNE
IMPROVISR ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
IT'LL BE JUST LIKE HAVIN'..."

CHORUS

CAN'T YOU FEEL THE NEW DAY DAWNING? ALL BELIEVES WILL SEE
AN END 2 SUFFERING AND EVERY DISEASE
EVERY WAKING HOUR WILL SOON BE SPENT
KISSIN' EACH OTHER
ANGELIC SISTERS AND BROTHERS
CLAP YOUR HANDS FOR ONE ANOTHER, WELL BE HAVIN'

CHORUS

RIGHT ON!

2) ONE KISS AT A TIME



OH I SEE THIS WHAT U WANTED
ONE KISS AT A TIME
I'VE GOT 2 B UP ON IT
IF I WANT 2 MAKE U MINE

THIS IS SOMETHING EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW
EVERY PART OF U COMES ALIVE WHEN U TAKE IT SLOW
EVERY NERVOUS TWITCH THAT HAPPENS, WHEN MY TONGUE IS THERE
YOUR LIPS UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK AND EVERY SINGLE HAIR
ALL MAKES UP THE BEAUTY OF YOUR GRAND DESIGN
EVERY MAN HAS GOT A DUTY, AND 2NIGHT I'VE GOT 2 DO MINE

CHORUS

THIS IS SOMETHING EVERY MAN SHOULD SEE
GIVE YOUR WOMAN WHAT SHE WANTS
AND GIVE HER WHAT SHE NEEDS
ASK HER IN A WHISPER THAT ONLY 2 CAN HEAR
WHAT CAN I DO WHAT CAN I SAY, BABY
"FORGET YOUR SINGLE FEAR"
SLOWLY I PULL YOUR STRAP DOWN
AND TOUCH U AS IF 2 HEAR
LAYER BY LAYER,INCH BY INCH
UNTIL YOUR TRUE LOVE IS REVEALED

CHORUS

IF EVERY MAN COULD LOVE THEIR WOMAN
THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU, TIME WOULD STOP
AND THE SKY WOULD FALL,
AND ALL WOULD SEE THE GLORY OF
WHAT TRUE LOVE COULD BRING
THAT'S WHAT I SING...

CHORUS

3) SOUL SANCTUARY



LOVING U IN SILENCE, KNOWING THAT IT'S RIGHT
UNDER YOUR GAZE I PONDER THIS LOVE 2NIGHT
UNBOTHERED BY THE CHAOS SWIRLING ROUND OUTSIDE
IN YOUR ARMS IS WHERE I WANT TO LIVE AND DIE
SOMEPLACE WHERE YOUR FACE IS ALL THAT I SEE
WHERE THE LOVE WE MAKE INTOXICATES INTENSIVELY
A MIRROR WHERE YOUR SWEET REFLECTION USED 2 B
THERE IS HOPE, THERE IS JOY, MY SOUL SANCTUARY
MY SOUL SANCTUARY

LOVING U IN SILENCE, NEVERENDING KISS
UNDER YOUR GAZE I CAN PEACEFULL EXIST
SANCTUARY, BABY, NOTHING COMPARES 2 THIS
IN MY DARKEST HOUR U CAN B MY BLISS
ALL OF ME, I GIVE 2 THEE DOWN AT YOUR FEET
THE REASSURANCEIN YOUR RHYTHM SPEAKS 2 ME
OVER AND OVER YOUR SCREAMS R LIKE A PRAYER
IN THE DARK, U R THERE, MY SOUL SANCTUARY
OOH, MY SOUL SANCTUARY

LOVING U IN PASSION UNMOLESTED IN THIS GARDEN
MANGO AND NECTARINE, SWEET HONEYDEW, I BEG YOUR PARDON
MY MOUTH RUNNETH OVER FROM ECSTASY
IT'S TRUE, BABY, I LOVE THE TASTE OF U

LOVING U IN SILENCE, KNOWING THAT IT'S RIGHT
UNDER YOUR GAZE I PONDER THIS LOVE 2NIGHT
UNBOTHERED BY THE CHAOS SWIRLING ROUND OUTSIDE
IN YOUR ARMS IS WHERE I WANT TO LIVE AND DIE
SOMEPLACE WHERE YOUR FACE IS ALL THAT I SEE
WHERE THE LOVE WE MAKE INTOXICATES INTENSIVELY
A MIRROR WHERE YOUR SWEET REFLECTION USED 2 B
THERE IS HOPE, THERE IS JOY, MY SOUL SANCTUARY
MY SOUL SANCTUARY
MY SOUL SANCTUARY
MY SOUL SANCTUARY
SOUL SANCTUARY

4) EMALE



OHH UHH OOH
THE EMALE LEFT SO CLEARLY
UPON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN
FELT LIKE A THREAT THAT CREPT INTO HER LIKE A SEX MACHINE
WANTED " ANY WOMAN WHO'S FIRST NAME BEGINS WITH A"Z
FROM THE SOUND OF THE KEYS THE PAWN MAKES A MOVIE
HER REPLY BRINGS ON THE GROOVE...

WWW.EMALE.COM
THE KING TAKES THE PAWN
WWW.EMALE.COM
IT'S ON IT'S ON IT'S ON!

HE COULDN'T WAIT 2 TELL HER
TILL AFTER HE GOT THE NELLA
HER LOVE WOULD ONLY EVEN THE SCORE
IT SEEMED HER DARLING FELLA
STOLE A HELLALOTTA BUCKS
FROM THE CORNER STORE
THE DECLARATION OF WAR THAT FOLLOWED
SHE NEVER BELIEVED
IN THE DARKEST CORNERS WHERE WIDOWS MOURN
THAT'S WHERE HE WHISPERED HER NAME
HE SAID:"WE CAN DO IT HERE, MY DEAR,
BUT I FEAR YOUR TEARS WILL FALL LIKE RAIN
BECAUSE I MUST TELL U WHILE I'M DEEP IN YOUR SMELL
U GOT THE MAN I WANT 2 INFLICT WITH PAIN
4 RUNNING A GAME WITH MY PAPER
I'M TURNING THE BOY 2 VAPOR
NOW I WANNA DO THE SAME 2 U
IF U DON'T TATTOO MY NAME UPON YOUR TRAIN".

WWW.EMALE.COM
THE KING TAKES THE PAWN

IT'S ON IT'S ON IT'S ON!

(5) CURIOUS CHILD



IN A ROOM FULL OF HARLOTS AND FANTASY
DETSONY, BECKONED US THERE
CURIOUS CHILD ON THE BALCONY
WE TOOK THE DARE

CARELESS I WAS 2 CARESS THEE
YET NEVER REGRETTING THE TIME
THE JOY THAT WE SHARED IT WAS MEANT 2 B
AND NOT A CRIME
NO, IT'S NOT A CRIME

IF MEMORY SERVES US, WE WILL ALIGN
TO THE TRUTH THAT WE MOST OFTEN SHARE
CURIOUS CHILD, U R ON MY MIND
DO U CARE?

6) DREAMING ABOUT U


IF THE WIND BLEW EVERY PETAL
FROM YOUR PRECIOUS RED ROSE
WOULD U BE AFRAID OF WHAT
U'D FIND INSIDE?

WHEN I'M ALONE IN MY ROOM
I CAN'T STOP DREAMING ABOUT U
DREAMING ABOUT U
WHEN I'M ALONE IN MY ROOM
I CAN'T STOP DREAMING ABOUT U
DREAMING ABOUT U
AND EVERYTIME I DO WHAT I NEED 2 DO
I CAN'T STOP DREAMING ABOUT U
DREAMING ABOUT U

REVOLVING AROUND EVERY WORD
THAT IS SPOKEN
LIKE THE PLANETS AROUND THE SUN"
I WANT U
YOUR TONGUE IS A GREAT PERSUADER
YEAH, U GOT ME SOLD
AND WHEN I'M ALONE IN MY ROOM
JUST WATCHING A ROSE
I DREAM ABOUT U
I DREAM ABOUT U

CHORUS

WHEN MY SANE TWIN REIGNS
CLAIMING YOUR AIMS R
2 MAIM MY SUBCONSCIOUS
INTO BEING WITH U
I DREAM ABOUT U
BETTING ON THE NOTION
THAT IF MY LUSTIER TWIN PREVAILS
LIKE THE RUINS OF ROME
I WILL LIE HELPLESS AT YOUR FEET
YEAH, WHEN I'M ALONE
I DREAM ABOUT U
I DREAM ABOUT U

AND HERE WE STAND
AMIDST YOUR CORE
THE PETALS ON THIS ROSE
I ADORE
IF THE INSIDE IS KIND...
KIND IN A SENSE
THAT ONE WILL COME FROM ALL
AND THE WISH THAT U WISH
WILL COME TRUE
IF U CALL
BUT IF U WILL FALL
AND I'LL STILL BE ALONE (JUST DREAMING ABOUT U)
WITH THIS BALL
IN MY STOMACH JUST
DREAMING ABOUT U

8) THE HOLY RIVER



LET'S GO DOWN 2 A HOLY RIVER
IF WE DROWNED THEN WE'LL BE DELIVERED
I CAN STILL SEE THE PICTURE UPON THE WALL
ON EYE STARRING AT NOTHING AT ALL
THE OTHER ONE TRYING TO FOCUS THROUGH ALL THE TEARS
U CAN TRY AND TRY BUT THERE'S NOTHIN' 2 HIDE
U CAN RUN FROM YOURSELF AND WHAT'S INSIDE
U GOT 2 FIND THE ANSWERS 2 THE QUESTIONS THAT U MOST FEAR

SO OVER AND OVER YOU ASK SOUL
WHY DID U COME DOWN 2 WHERE IT'S SO COLD

CHORUS
THE VOICE INSIDE SAYS TONIGHT THE TRUTH WILL BE TOLD

SURROUNDED YOURSELF WITH ALL THE WRONG FACES
SPENDING YOUR TIME IN ALL THE WRONG FACES
PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THINGS THAT ONLY MAKE U CRY
PEOPLE SAY THEY LOVE U AND THEY WANT 2 HELP
BUT HOW CAN THEY WHEN U CAN'T HELP YOURSELF
THE MORE THEY SAY THEY LOVE U
THE MORE I JUST WANNA DIE
SO HERE WE GO AGAIN " THE SELF ANALYSIS
HAVE ANOTHER GLASS OF PORT AND FORGET THIS
THE BAND'S PLAYIN' AT THE CLUB TONIGHT AND THEY'RE BOUND 2 GROOVE
THERE U ARE U THINK U'RE HIGH
U CAN'T ASK YOURSELF CUZ U'D ONLY LIE
IF U HAD A DOLLAER FOR EVERY TIME U TRIED
U CAN'T CALL NOBODY CUZ THEY'LL TELL U STRAIGHT UP
COME AND MAKE LOVE WHEN U REALLY HATE 'EM
RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON THE PHYSICAL OVER AND DONE
THERE OVER AND DONE
U'D RATHER HAVE FUN
IF ONLY ONE
IF ONLY ONE
ONE

AND THEN IT HIT 'CHA LIKE A FIST ON THE WALL
WHO GAVE U LIFE WHEN THERE WAS NONE AT ALL
WHO GAVE U SOME PERMISSION 2 RISE UP EVERYDAY
IF U ASK GOD 2 LOVE U LONGER
EVERY BREATH U TAKE WILL MAKE U STRONGER
KEEPIN' U HAPPY AND PROUD 2 CALL HIS NAME
JESUS

CHORUS

LET'S GO DOWN 2 A HOLY RIVER
IF WE DROWNED THEN WE'LL BE DELIVERED
IF WE DON'T THEN WE'LL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT
IF U DIE BEFORE U TRY
U'LL HAVE 2 COME BACK AND FACE THE LIGHT
CAUSE WHEN U BELIEVE IT U GOT A GOOD REASON 2 CRY
SO WHEN I'M DOWN 2 THE HOLY RIVER
I CALLED MY GIRL AND TOLD HER I HAD SOMETHING TO GIVE HER
I ASKED HER TO MARRY ME
SHE SAID YES
I CRIED
THAT NIGHT I DROWNED IN HER TEARS AND MINE
INSTEAD OF A GLASS OF SORROW, AND WINE
LOOKING BACK YA'LL I DON'T MISS NOTHING EXCEPT THE TIME
AND WHEN I SEE THAT PICTURE UPON THE WALL
THE ONE EYE STARING AT NOTHING AT ALL
MY EYES TRYING 2 FOCUS BUT THESE ARE MUCH DIFFERENT TEARS

LET'S GO DOWN 2 THE HOLY RIVER
LET'S GO DOWN 2 THE HOLY RIVER
LET'S GO DOWN 2 THE HOLY RIVER

9) LET'S HAVE A BABY



I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE, LET'S HAVE A BABY
WHAT ARE WE LIVING 4? LET'S MAKE LOVE
SO LONG HAVE I GAZED INTO YOUR EYES
WONDERING WHAT THEY'D LOOK LIKE
ON A NEWBORN CHILD
AND I CANNOT LIE, WHEN MY HAND ON YOUR THIGHS
I'M THINKING, " ISN'T IT A MIRACLE THAT LIFE COMES FROM INSIDE..."
SO LONG I HAVE LISTENED 2 YOUR VOICE,
WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD SOUND LIKE
COMING FROM A GIRL OR A BOY
ISN'T IT FUNNY, THAT WHEN U'RE TRULY IN LOVE,
HOW JUST THE THOUGHT OF SUCH THINGS
CAN BRING U SO MUCH JOY
AND I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE, LET'S HAVE A BABY...
GO ON AND SHUT THE DOOR, LET'S MAKE LOVE.
U WANNA MAKE LOVE?
I'M LEAVING IT UP 2 U
I'LL DO WHAT U WANT 2 DO
BUT U GOT 2 UNDERSTAND, U'RE MY WOMAN
AND I'M YOUR MAN
I CAN'T EVEN GO 4 A RIDE " BELIEVE ME, HONEY, I'VE TRIED
WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT A LITTLE BABY
RIGHT THERE, SITTING RIGHT BY MY SIDE
AND IF ANYBODY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVER THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD DO THAT 4 ME
THEY ARE MISTAKEN GIRL
COS BABY U GOT ME, U GOT ME OPEN, YES U DO
AND WE'RE DOING JUST FINE
IF U REALLY LOVE ME, BABY
IF U CAN FIND THE TIME "
I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE, LET'S HAVE A BABY
DON'T U WANNA?
C'MON AND SHUT THE DOOR.
U KNOW WHAT I WANNA DO
LET'S... LET'S MAKE LOVE
