Refrain:
It's two clock in the morning and i just can't sleep
outside the rain is pouring and i'm lonely as can be
maybe 2night will be different than the nights b4

2night i wanna b somebody's somebody 2night i wanna belong 2 someone
2night i wanna be somebody's somebody 2night i want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done
This big ol'world can b so empty livin' in it all alone
i realize in its best disguise a pretty house don't make a home
there's a hunger deep inside me oh how the fire burns
i wanna give good love 2 someone and get good love in return
Chorus
Someone 2 hold me, in that hour midnight
someone 2 console me, when things ain't going 2 right
someone 2 bring me dinner sometimes
somebody i can call all mine
It's 2:05 in the morning and i got no one 2 call
i long 2 hear another voice inside these lonely walls
maybe tonight will be different than the nights before
i need 2 feel someone beside me i can't be alone no more
Chorus

1.4) get your groove on

Here i am in new york yeah

u gotta run... check it, i don't need u 2 have some fun
coming from the land of snow i guess i'm kinda used 2 cold
But one day i'll have a big white mansion
at the top of the road
i'm gonna wear the latest fashion
i'm gonna be happy, don't you know
I could use a new guitar
sing a tune at chazz'bar
maybe meet a debutante
be a toy, do what she want
9 o'clock " see john k. "
u don't rock, come another day,"
so low reaching up 4 ground one day
i'm gonna make it in this lonely town
And i'll live in a big white mansion
at the top of the road
i'm gonna buy the latest fashion
i'm gonna be happy, don't you know
Hey there, what's your name
can u tell me how 2 play the game
do i really have 2 cut my hair
now, that's a cross i could never bear
sell my publishing "what a laugh!
I don't know bo, but i dont know math
back 2 minneapolis, there u go
u can't find your house underneath the snow
Chorus

1.9) damned if i do
Tell me what's up with the teenage indecision
i'm mad in love but u won't give me permission
u said:"be here at 9." then sreamed at me
4 not giving u more time
Damned if i do, damned if i don't
u say u want me 2 love u
but when i try u won't
maybe we should say goodbye
Tell me the truth how many u do it 2
i smell the vermouth everytime i don't get 2 kiss u
enough's enough if you don't want my lovin', then i give up
Chorus
Damned if i don't try 2 make u see
yourself the way i open minded, worldly, always ready 4 taboo
Tell me, what's up are we gonna go 2 heaven?
I'll fill your cup
i won't do it like kevin
Chorus

1.10) i can't make you love me
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
turn these voices inside my head
lay down with me, tell me no lies
just hold me close, don't patronize don't patronize me
Cos i can't make you love me if u don't
i can't make your heart feel something it won't
here in the dark, in these final hours
i lay down my heart and i feel the power but you won't.
No u won't cos i can't make u love if you don't
Do u? Do u love me? Look at me
I'll close my eyes, they won't see
the love you don't feel, when you're holding me morning will come,
and do what's right just give me till then to give up this fight and i will,
i will give up this fight oh, yes i will
Chorus
Spoken part i wanna make u love me but u won't love me
Cos i can't make u love me if u don't
kiss me turn down the lights,
turn down the bed turn down these voices inside my head
lay down your knee, tell me no lies
just hold me close between your thighs
I can't make u love me

1.11) Mr. Happy
I will take care of u whatever u want i do it right
Chorus
I will take care of you mr. Happy day and night
Got some money, i got some juice somethin's funny,

Chorus
Sugarbaby, with the curly hair dancin' crazy,
underwear witcha name on it, lookin' fine keep smackin,

Chorus
Pump it up, pump it up brown man,
puffin' on a weak jam understand this is 80 proof
guaranteed to get your girl loose if she douche
so throw ya set up to the roof third finger down
if u're wild make a sound look at my people gettin' on down
skip the remy and let me have some
mary tyler more of that new power soul
comin' from the midwest passin' every test
with a fuzz tone remote control

1.12) in this bed i sream
2 these walls i talk
tellin'em what i wasn't strong enough 2 say
2 these walls i talk
tellin'em how i cried the day u went away
how do we ever loose communication? How do we ever loose each other's sound?
Baby, if u wanna we can fix the situation maybe we can stop the rain from coming down
In this bed i scream lonely nights i lay away thinking of u
if i'm cursed with a dream a thousand times i feel whatever i put u through
how we gonna put this back 2gether? How we gonna think with the same mind?
Knowing all along that life is so much better living and loving 2gether all the time
In this bed i, in this bed i in this bed i scream
In this car i drive
i'm looking 4 the road that leads back 2 the soul we shared with my very life
i'd gladly be the body upon the cross we bare
how do we ever loose communication? How do we ever loose each other's sound?
Baby, if u wanna we can fix the situation maybe we can stop the rain from coming down
In this bed i, in this bed i, in this bed i scream

blowing in the breeze the papas' just a"praying 4 the guest that will bust that butt out, please, oh!
Chorus

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

2.3) 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 reassurance
in 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

2.4) 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
www.emale.com it's on it's on it's on!

2.5) 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?

2.6) 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

2.7) joint 2 joint
If u wanna we can kick it, baby - joint 2 joint sex me...safe...joint 2 joint
Before i melt the wax 2 quizzical,
let me just say that u r physically the most toned one i've ever seen
u're making me proud 2 be a human being and if we're ever naked in the same machine
i gonna lick it, baby " joint 2 joint
Sex me...safe...joint 2 joint
first i need a picture of your mother 2 verify the fact that there is not another one in the universe so supreme
yeah, u got the rock 2 give a brotha cream and if we're ever naked in the same machine
i gonna lick it, baby, joint 2 joint
Sex me...safe...joint 2 joint come upstairs to my room...
Spoken word by the poet 99: joint 2 joint, nothing comes 4 free if you show your love, u can get wit me u can get wit me up the stairs 2 my lovely room stroke your face and you're under soon sittin, in the corner in your underwear lettin' me caress your nappy hair
Joint 2 joint, nothing comes 4 free if u show your love, u can get with me and if you light my candle, we can share the stone fountains of desire, sweet gypsy moans
Joint 2 joint, nothing comes 4 free
if u show your love, u can get with me oh great.
Now u think u're my soul mate u don't even know what kind of cereal i like
wrong. Captain crunch. With soy milk
cuz cows r 4 calves u'd probably take me 4 half
u don't love me, u're a faker u only want me 4 my acres
Joint 2 joint joint 2 joint, nothing comes 4 free
if u show your love, u can get with me and if we're ever naked in the same machine owe can kick it, baby, joint 2 joint

2.8) 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 dollar 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

2.9) 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

2.10) saviour
Saviour, saviour how did i ever come this far without u, baby?
What was i thinkin', what did i wanna be never

Like 2 petals frome the same flower, baby

I use 2 say, no one lover could ever have me
no one lover that was before my eyes had seen the light
2 make love with another no, i couldn't do it, no way
u're my saviour u're the only one that does it right
Cuz we,re like 2 petals from the same flower, baby

2.11) the plan

2.12) friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
If i ever held a hand, it was only because
i had never held your hand that was part of the plan"
i had 2 get it right if i was 2 be your man
if i ever kissed your lips i needed time 2 cross the others off my list
a higher high 2 the trip i wanted u 2 go that was my wish
Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
-chorus- air, food, water, love of my life
If i ever shared a bed it was only cuz i wanted 2 live up 2 what the people said now i'm livin'

all i have 2 do is think about it and i just wanna die
how'd i ever make it by i don't know, baby hope i never have 2 try
Chorus
The eyes of my child i see every time u look at me
and sweet baby would smile like a light that shines 4 all 2 see
If i ever held a hand it was only because i had never held your hand
that was part of the plan i had 2 get it right
if i was 2 be your man if i ever kissed your lips

my enemies kept it turning but how they pound the gavel

a pill that will make a baby never seek political gain what's it all 4?
When u can alter biology " who or what, then my friend, will u and i be?
When the sharpest vibration saves u from obliteration
when the melting pot stirs how we gonna take it?
When u can't tell him from her how u gonna fake it?

3.3) the human body
Can u take me home? Where we can b alone?
Can u make me happy till my pain is gone?
Can u get me excited? Excited enough 2 thank the god above 4...
The human body?
Yeah yeah yeah the human body
Can u get me excited till my love is long?
Can u let me ride it till the early morn?
Can u freak me dirty? Freak me till i thank the god above 4 the human body?
Yeah yeah yeah the human body ooh!!!!!

3.4) face down
Somebody once told him that he wouldn't take prince 2 the ringer
let him go down as a washed up singer ain't that a bitch
thinkin' all along that he wanted 2 be rich
never respected the root of all evil and he still don't 2 this day
bury him face down let a mf kiss a ass - ok?
Face down! Face down!
Him and her meaning who i'm singin' about and his psychoanalyst kinda saw the catalyst as the devil with the blue jeans on
ain't it kinda funny when u see the dawn?
Sign the name they gave u, but when them mf's turn around, ass up"u're what?...
Face down! Face down!
It's in his will - i read it he shot 2 kill - he said it
4 those who know the number and don't call... F all y'all!
Face down! Face down!

3.5) la la la means i love u
Many guys have come 2 u with a line wasn't true
and u passed them by though u're in the center ring
and their lines don't mean a thing why don't u let me try now
i don't wear a diamond ring
i don't even know a song 2 sing
All i know is la la la la la la la la la means i love u
la la la la la la la la la means i love u
If i ever saw a girl that i needed in this world u are the one 4 me
let me hold u in my arms girl and i fill u with my charms
i'm sure u will see the things i am sayin' are true and the way i explain them 2 u
Listen 2 me...
La la la la la la la la la means i love u

3.6) style
Style - is not something that comes in a bottle
style - is more like jacki o. When she was doing aristotle
style - is not alogo that sticks 2 the roof of one's ass
style - is like a second cousin 2 class
Style - u got it!
Style - ain't sittin' court side with the owner of the team
style - is owning the court and charging them all a fee
style - is not lusting after someone because they're cool
style - is loving yourself till everyone else does 2
Style - u got it!
Style don't get drunk on saturday night then try 2 dress up, every sunday night
style don't get married and break the vow in a year style is keeping a promise raise your hand y'all if u hear me
Style - is not biting style when u can't find the funk
style - is the face u make on a michael jordon dunk
style - ain't the jeep u bought when u know yo broke ass got bills

3.7) sleep around
Do it like she like it so your baby
don't wanna sleep around
give her what she wants when she want
when it comes 2 u she's down
Baby, let me read her journal or should i say-
she turned around and it was gone the innuendo reads eternal or should i say-
every other page i'm on when she come 2 cook your dinner
u can ask her if what i say is true the secret will remain within her
but her shade of red will turn yours blue
Chorus
Maybe u recall last summer when u saw her riding in my car
a kiss or 2 later she was back in your bed smellin' like a fallen star
just because she's fine u think she don't wine & dine with everyone
you know as long as u're fooled i'm cool she says she gonna put me in her video u need 2...
Chorus
Sleep around, sleep around sleep around, sleep around
I'm the one who sent the herbs and a book on how 2 ues'em
im the 1 who pointed out her fears and how to lose them
And if a difference love will make" this advice u ought 2 take:
Do it like she like it so your baby
don't wanna sleep around
give her what she wants when she want when it comes 2 u she's down

3.8) dadada
Is venting worth the ink?
Solution-ask yourself your destination
what the source of your inspiration be and u will find a spirit
tryin'2 get u back 2 on my mind like it was in your mama's belly
live and let live was the order of the day what u say?
Loving one another is the only way! Dadada
Time and time and time again i was gettin' the feelin'
that i couldn't distinguish my friends from my enemies
then i got on my knees and asked my saviour
please show me how 2 tell the pimps and the liars from the chosen ones
the quick deniers who live by the gun just tell me what i need 2 do
and i'll do it show me what hill 2 climb " 'll go thru it
And what's the story behind your name? Trace it back far enough and don't be ashamed
when at the root of your family tree somebody quite different than u be stands up
and says repeat after me " we're the only race that will succeed in the land of opportunity " mf, please!
U could see a man who beats his child as a good father
or u could see this man as a father beating on himself
either way if your heart fills up with sorrow then u probably know
that the seeds he plants 2 day will feed this man 2morrow "
tell me now what u say? Da, da, da

3.9) my computer
It was sunday night
instead of doing what i usually do i
scan my computer, looking 4 a site
sombody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
i scan my computer, looking 4 a site
make believe it's a better world a better life
Nothing on tv i ain't seen before
another murder on the news i can't take no more
evil incorporated, blowing up bombs and thangs
i have a child, i have a lot 2 explain
i could write a letter, but who would i send it 2
it was sunday night
Chorus
I called an old friend of mine just the other day
no congratulations, no respect paid.
All she did was wonder, if the rumors were true
i said: "no i ain't dead yet, but what about u?"
i can count my friends with a peace sign: one, two
it was sunday night...
Chorus
I don't wanna see a doctor unless he's lonely 2
every sunday night instead of doing what i usually do...
I scan my computer, looking 4 a site
somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
i scan my computer, looking 4 a site
make believe it's a better world
A better life a better life a better life a better life a better
Goodbye

3.10) one of us
If god had a name what would it be and would we called it to his face
if we were faced with him and all his glory what would u ask if u had just one question?
Yeah, yeah god is great
yeah, yeah god is good
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
what if god was one of us?
Chorus
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus tryin' to make his way home
If god had a face what would it look like and would u want to see
if seeing meant that u would have to believe in things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets
Chorus
Back up 2 heaven all alone
nobody callin' on the phone
except for the pope maybe in rome
Chorus
Like a holy rolling stone back up 2 heaven all alone
just tryin' 2 make his way home
nobody callin' on the phone
except for the pope maybe in rome

3.11) the love we make
Desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those who do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow from the table god set 4 his son
Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing
all the wile watching 2 see u fall deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering is the one being dug right by them all
Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens no matter how heavy or dark the day
pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow it's never as bad as it seems untilwe say
Precious is the baby with a mother that tells him that his saviour is coming soon
all that believe will cleanse and purify themselves
put down the needle, put down the spoon put down the needle, put down the spoon
Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing while seeking 2 give thanks for every breath we take
blessed are we inside this prayer 4 in the new world we will be there
the only love there is is the love we make
the only love there is is the love we make
the only love there is is the love we make
the only love there is is the love we make
the only love there is is the love we make

3.12) emancipation
Ever since i was a little baby i had 2 have double everything
when they tell me that's enough that's when i wanna fill my cup 2 the top, johnny - hear me sing
Emancipation- free 2 do what i wanna
emancipation - c u in the purple rain emancipation - free 2 do what i wanna
emancipation - break the chain, break the chain
Ever since eve did unto adam what somebody been sho nuff doin' 2 me i been tryin' 2 break the chain
get my little ass out the game i'd rather sing with a bit more harmony
Johnny please, when i was on my knees my back was broken and my spirit ill at ease
now it seems just like the autumn leaves yo money's turned from green 2 brown and now u best believe
Chorus
I'm free - don't think i ain't!
