Falin

(Verse 1)
I keep on fallin'... in--- in and out of love with you
Sometimes I love ya, sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good, At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin', makes me so confused

[Chorus]
I keep on fallin', in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

(Verse 2)
Oh Oh, I.... never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure,
cause me so much pain,
'Cause when I
think I'm taking
more than would a fool And I start
fallin' back in love with you.

(Chorus)
I keep on fallin', in and out of love witha you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

(Bridge)Oh baby
I,I,I,I'm
Fa-a-allin'

Fall,fall,fa-a-a-allin'x2

O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-o-oh

(Chorus X 4)
I'm keep on fallin', in and out of love witha you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

I'm fallin', in and out of love witha you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

I'm fallin', in and out of love witha you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

I'm fallin', in and out of love witha you
I never loved someone the way that i'm lovin' you

"Stolen Moments"

Remembering the days when our love began
Thinkin of a million ways
to escape and be with you
But reality wasn't just you and i
It was long drawn out days and lonely nights

Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin' bout when you would say

[chorus]
let me take you to another place
where nothing ever seems to matter
its just you and me
we can take flight like a thief in the night
stolen moments with you (o0ohhh o0o0oh)

[Verse 2]
Destiny didn't have such a simple plan (simple plan)
I was just a girl and you a young man
how could age define
something so divine (so divine)
Can this even be real or just exist in my mind

Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin' bout when you would say

[chorus]

[piano breakdown]

Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin and waiting for the day
when noone and nothing else takes up our time
finally you're only mine

each and everyday
i dont walk with you right by my side
but instead we have to hide
sneak around and lie
just to spend time alone
This lovin is a crime
i'd rather do the time
and leave the world behind

[chorus]

[piano breakdown 2]

Let's get away
Let's get away
oooh ooh

we can get away
we can get away
ohhh ohhh

Let's get away
Let's get away
ohhh ohhh

we can get away
we can get away
ohhh ohhh

You know, the one with the braids?
Yeah, well I see you on Wednesdays all the time
You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think
And you always order the special, with the hot chocolate
And my manager be tripping and stuff
Talking bout we gotta use water
But I always use some milk and cream for you
Cause I think you're kinda sweet.
Anyway you always got on some fly blue suit
'n your cufflinks are shining all bright
So, whatchu do? Oh, word? Yeah, that's interesting
Look man, I mean I don't wanna waste your time but
I know girls don't usually do this,
But I was wondering if maybe we could get together
Outside the restaurant one day
Cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes
I mean we could just go across the street to the park right here

"Diary"

[Verse 1:]
Lay your head on my pillow
Here you can be yourself
No one has to know what you are feelin'
No one but me and you

[Hook:]
I won't tell your secrets
Your secrets are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary

[Verse 2:]
I feel such a connection
Even when you're far away
Oooh baby if there is anything that you fear
Call 489 4608 and I'll be here

[Hook 2:]
I won't tell your secrets
Your secrets are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary

[Bridge:]
Only we know what is talked about, baby boy
I don't know how you could be driving me so crazy
Baby when you're in town
Why don't you come around?
I'll be the loyalty you need
You can trust me

[Hook and out]

"Wild Horses"

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been be cried
Let's do some living before we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild horses, we'll ride them some day

"Streets Of New York (City Life)"
(feat. Nas, Rakim)

[Nas (Alicia Keys)]
Nasty, yeah, yeah (New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time again, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Come here, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time

["yeah, yeah, hey yo black it's time" - continues throughout song]

[Nas]
If you knew my streets
You would know all everybody talk about is who got beef
Who snitchin, who told police
Who came home, who still gone, who restin in peace
Now they killin over music money, not drugs, rap replaced it
Cause thugs with no brains got no patience
New jacks I pistol whip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin
Musician and flatten composition
A pain, I'm like Saddam Hussein
Still alive lookin at his dead children's burnt remains
I burnt the game, learnt you lames a new lesson
Your crew's soft man, ya'll need some new weapons
The P's breathe Warriorz and skullies and Timmies
Around mixed, spics, niggaz and giddies
From my ghetto kings in deep thought we don't blink
But don't think we wastin our time
It's a New York State of Mind

[Chorus #1 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York
New York City, whoa oh
New York, New York, New York
New York City, baby

[Alicia Keys]
It's like a jungle, out here
So much struggle, out here
And my dream's still unphased
Greed still the cousin of death
Always feels like always somethin farther time
In the Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York State of mind)

[Alicia Keys]
All I see is street homes
And who it's holdin, our people
Only comforts the brain
It's like I'm going insane
The revolution has to start, don't waste no time
In the Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York state of mind)
C'mon

[Chorus #2 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of mind (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of crime (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big dreams (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big schemes

[Alicia Keys]
Oh, break the game
Just ain't the same
Baby loves and girls with no shame
Can't get away (get away), epidemic plague
Every hood in every state
Don't have no reasons cause relieve is hard to find

[Break - Alicia Keys]
In the streets of New York (New York state of mind) - [4X]
["New York state of mind" is also repeated in background]

[Rakim]
I'm from the home of a million legends and trend settin
A lot of footsteps to follow, I've been steppin
Mind stressin tryin to find a record crime shreddin
Time precious, I ain't have rest since nine eleven
I live fast, hustle like today is my last
I get cash, the struggle's like a day on the Ave.
Crack bein raw, gats squeezin off
Manhattan squeezin off, from cats who tease with war
The eve of the Apocalypse, evil keep movin politics
Every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
The opposite of Liza Minelli and Frank Sinatra
Alicia Keys, Nas and Ra the gangsta's opera
So New York City walk with me, talk gritty
It's up to us New York it's our city
Here the man come with the anthem, hands up
It's time the thrill is back New York, let's stand up

[Chorus - w/ ad libs]

[Rakim - talking behind Chorus]
Oh yeah, crucial Keys
Your God Rakim Allah
New York City, Nasty Nas
A. Keys, yeah, c'mon

"Every Little Bit Hurts"

Every little bit hurts,
Every little bit hurts..

Every night I cry,
every night I sigh,
every night I wonder why
you treat me cold,
yet you won't let me go.

every little hurt counts,
every little hurt counts,
you say you're coming home,
yet you never phone,
leave me all alone,
my love is strong for you,
I'd do wrong for you.
I can't take this loneliness you've given me.
I can't go on giving m life away.

Oh, come back to me,
darling you'll see,
I can give you everything that you wanted before,
if you will stay with me.

Every little bit hurts,
every little bit hurts

To you I'm a toy and you're the boy,
who has to say when i should play.
yet you hurt me, desert me.

Oh, come back to me,
darling you'll see,
I can give you everhything that you wanted before.
if you will stay with me.

Every little bit hurts,
every little bit hurts,
every little bit hurts,
every little bit hurts.

"If I Ain't Got You"

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

[Outro:]
If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

"If I Was Your Woman"

[Verse I:]

If I was your woman
And you were my man
You'd have no other woman
You'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strength
To walk out my door
My love would over rule my sense
And I'd call you back for more

[Chorus:]

If I was your woman
If I was your woman
If I was your woman
If I was your woman
And you were my man, yeah

[Verse II:]

She tears you down darlin
Says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up darlin
When she lets you fall cause
You're like a diamond
But she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you
But me you won't ask

[Chorus:]

If I were your woman
If I was your woman
If I were your woman
If I was your woman
If I were your woman
If I was your woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, never no no
Stop loving you, yeah

[Verse III:]

Life is so crazy
And love is unkind
Because she was first darlin'
Will she hang on your mind?
You're part of me
But you don't even know it
I'm what you need
But I'm too afraid to show it

[Chorus:]

If I were your woman
If I was your woman
If I were your woman
If I was your woman
If I were your woman
If I was your woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, never no no
Stop loving you, yeah
If I was your woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, never, never
Stop loving you, yeah

[Bridge:]

If I were your woman
If I were your woman
If I was your woman
If I was your woman
If I were your woman

How Come You Don't Call Me Lyrics


But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good...

I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody said
Everybody said that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart


All I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me
