Motownphilly


Boyz II Men, Boyz II Men, Boyz II Men, Boyz II Men

Chorus:
Motownphilly back again
Doin' a little east coast swing
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft


It's long overdue but now
Philly's slammin'
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
The east coast family
Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South Street
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
And all the Philly steaks you can eat


Back in school
We used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen?
Or do dreams fade away, yeah
Then we started singin'
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you


Chorus

Michael Bivins' Rap:
Yo these four new jacks is real
Smooth on the harmony tip
Nate, Mike, Shawn, and Wan
You know the mentality
Keep flippin' the gift


The spotlight is on us now
Watch us do this
Da da, daaa da da, da da da da da da
Live and direct from Philly town
Rap and hype and we can get down
We are ready to roll
So now the world will know that we flow


Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen?
Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you


Chorus

Everybody its Boyz II Men,Everybody its Boyz II Men,Everybody its Boyz II Men,Everybody its Boyz II Men,Everybody its Boyz II Men,Everybody its Boyz II Men
Everybody we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth


Michael Bivins' Rap:
Now check this out
One day back in Philly
Four guys wanted to sing
They came up to me I said
What's your name? (Boyz II Men)
Ya know what I'm sayin'
Than I said alright fellas
Well let me see what you can do
And then Wan said
Yo Mike, check this out
See if this one moves you


Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa ahh aahh
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa ahh


Chorus

"Muzak"

She came to me like a thief in the night
And whispered in my ear
She had my undivided attention
And told me everything I wanted to hear

She said that she wanted to give me a gift
And that she'd give it to the rest of the world
No matter how many people hear it
She would always be my girl

She makes me want to say...la la la la la la la la la

Sometimes she's smooth, sometimes she's rough
And I love to see her rock
Sometimes she's a little alternative
Bu nowadays she's more hip hop

No matter how you interpret her
She's always at the top of the chart
And if you look around and she can't be found
You can always find her deep in your heart...music

[Chorus:]
I can't help myself...I love her, she's my everything
I won't ever be without her...she's the reason why I sing
I can't help myself I love her, what she does to me
Makes me feel so good about her...music is my everything
Very rarely does she disappoint
She always says something good to me
Whoever wrote the words that come out of her mouth
They know just how to get to me
Well she's my muse and I get sick to my stomach
When somebody disrespects
They don't value her opinion
They just use her for her sex
She's beautiful, sensual and I love the way her body works
Sometimes she makes me happy
And sometimes her message hurts

No matter what she says to me
I'll always be around
Some will say she lost her way
But here is where she's found...music

When she was young and comin up
Nobody really knew where she would go
But now she's really opened up
And now the whole world can feel here...don't you feel her

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Now if you're booed up with your baby
This is what you say
Say baby, don't go nowhere
And I promise I'll stay

Let me hear you say... [Adlib]

Never Go Away Lyrics




[Intro]
Come here baby
Let me talk to you
I've been watching you
And you look so, so good tonight
Words just can't express
The way that you're makin' me feel
I'm just captured by your love
And your sensuality
Let me explain

There you are, standing there
Make me wanna reach out and touch you
And run my fingers through your hair
I know you gotta go
But I want you to stay
So we can get a little closer
And do things my way

Baby, you're so beautiful
Honey you're special too
You make me wanna do things, yeah
I never thought I'd do
Like put you up in my home
And buy you fancy things
We can make lots and lots of babies
And I'll buy you a big diamond ring, ohh

[1] - Never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me
Oh, never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby stay with me

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in
Wanna know every single detail
Feel the movement of your skin
If you are to ever leave me
My heart would sure enough die
So please be with me forever
And don't you ever say goodbye

[Repeat 1]

See you are (you are everything to me)
Can't you see baby
All of my friends think I'm crazy
Ooh, but they don't know
They don't know
A thing 'bout you and me

[Repeat 1 to fade]

Never Lyrics




In this world today
Love is scarce and far away
And your heart gets so afraid
To trust someone
All the times he let you down
There was no love to be found
Well it's not the end
There'll be time to mend
And you'll love again

[Chorus:]
Never, never let a broken heart
Take a chance for love away
Don't ever let it make you fall apart
Never, never ever let the pain
Take your need for love away
Never, no never

And I know it seems hard
Open up, let down your guards
But you owe it to your heart
To try again
Oh, comes the time
When we must change
With the past
Don't take the blame
Don't be ashamed
Throw your fears away

[Chorus ]

I know, don't be afraid
For you will never find
Another one you love again
I know that you'll be sorry girl
Be strong before it's too late
Because forever is too long
For you to live in pain
Just don't give up
Please open up to love

[Chorus ]

"On Bended Knee"

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It can heal all things
We won't hurt any more
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family

"On, Come, Oh Come Emmanuel"

Oh, come, oh, come Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Oh, come, O key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Oh, come, oh, come our Lord of might,
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times gave holy law,
In cloud and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

One Sweet Day Lyrics


[B II M:]
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Ayyy

[MC:]
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC: Together]
One sweet day
[MC:]
Evetually I'll see you in heaven...

[B II M:]
Darling, I never showed you (I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there (I thought you'd always be there)
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
([MC:] But I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC: Together]
One sweet day
[MC:] Eventually I'll see you in heaven

[B II M:]
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
[MC:]
Yeah
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC:] Together
One sweet day

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC:] Together
One sweet day

[MC:] Sorry I never told you (oooh)
[all:] All I wanted to say

Pass You By Lyrics




She was like nothing I'd ever known
Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field of snow
Man. that destiny led her to me
Made her feel that life was now complete

A thousand days have passed
And nights gone by
You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Though she denies her pain and her dismay
Know I said this to her anyway

Don't have to stay with someone that makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Ooh oh no
Ooh don't let real love pass you by

I know you are nervous
But take it from me
Cause you deserve so much more than you receive
Listen to your heart and let it show
Don't hold on to your pain
Just let it go, let it go

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Oh yeah
Girl don't let real love pass you by
You can find a love you need
If you set your heart free
Girl...
Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
Don't be discouraged baby
Don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't you let nothing
Don't let no one take you away from love
Don't let real love pass you by
You'll see I know, I know, I know
You'll be alright
Don't let real love pass you by
You just can believe in love, in love, in love, in love
Don't let real love pass you by
Oh yeah
Don't let real love pass you by
Ooh, yeah
Don't let real love pass you by
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let real love pass you by
Oh yeah, oh
Don't let real love pass you by...

"Sara Smile"

Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me, and we're waiting for the sunlight

When I feel cold you warm me
And when I feel like I can't go on you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

Sara smile (smile)
Why don't you smile awhile for me
Sara

If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow
If you wanna be free, you know
All you got to do is say so

When you feel cold I warm you
And when you feel you can't go on I'll come and hold you
It's you and me forever

Sara smile (smile)
Why don't you smile awhile for me
Sara

Smile...

"Snow White"

Settling along the scenery, beneath the steady fall
The dusk accompanies a loneliness, descending as snow
Tears can drown the embers in this broken heart of mine
Another portrait in my life watching the seasons passing by

Crystallizing every breath I take, even the subtle sighs
The wind carries a solemn melody through uncovered trees
At the red brick station the trains can catch their breath
And I've been patient, waiting for someone who won't come back to me

Tonight the tears will go away, I'll find a way to play this Serenade
How can I break this song away from my emotions
The snow is falling from the sky and turn to White Love

[chorus:]
By the time the bells are swinging in their rhythmic symphony
Imagining a dreamy hinterland is where I will be
Angels all around, floating slowly from the sky
And bring a look of tenderness only the spring can show me how

So I'll be holding on strong and keep from going on to Loneliness
The glistening angels in the sky are waiting for me
And I will wish upon a star and carry in my heart for Foreverness
These tears eventually will frost and turn to White Love

[chorus:]

This endless white love
My love

I just want to hold you
Can't be without you
I'm calling out your name
In my heart
