Brave

It's a new day, new day, and it's evident
You must have been heaven-sent
Sometimes we should be hesitant, but I'm not at all
Just feelin more confident
Just using my common sense
Just trust in it, I'm lovin it

I can't refuse an offer so benevolent
Can't assume he's gon' use me
And after he'll never call again
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
This is your day, this is your day

[Chorus]
It's time to be brave
Say I'm not afraid, not anymore
I used to be cold, now the temperature's changed
It just ain't the same
I'm not afraid, i'm not afraid
Cus I've become brave
As the light of day straight into a cave
To show me the way, that I might be saved
Now I'm turning the page
Thanks to the power of love I can love
Because I am brave

I am brave, I am brave

I heard him say this thing moving too fast for him
It's a feelin I was straddeling
Foolishly adamant, but It's all in his eyes
Really wish he would let me in
Cus the same way I'm scared of him
I'm scared of being hurt again

It's time to let go, let go of your heart
It's time for a brand new start
Never know, we might never part
Baby don't be afraid, don't be afraid
This is your day, this is your day

[Chorus]

I wouldn't take back anything that I've gone through (no)
I pray for strength for anything that I'm gonna do
Whether joy, or it's pain, I'm still okay (I, I'm still okay)
I'm a be alright cause I'm not afraid
No, I am brave (brave)

[Chorus]

I am brave

     Gotta Be There

(I wanna be where you are)
(Could it be I stayed away too long?)

I remember I said we should split
Had a lot goin' on And you weren't part of it
You tryin' to reason with me I admit
But I did
And now I'm walkin' around so so sick
And now I'm thinkin' for you that's a fact
Got me missin' you Like LA misses Shaq
What I gotta do
On my mission to get you back
Because I'm just that way without you
Baby baby I

Really didn't mean it
When I said it, I'll repeat it
I was trippin' flippin' out It was nothin'
I was on a whole other level
Now I got it all together
I was sick, but now I'm better
I was trying to push you away
Really wanted you to stay
Didn't know that was the case
It was just plain crazy 'cause around here lately
Been thinkin' about nothing but my baby

If you're in Houston, Hosted in Atlanta
(I wanna be where you are)

Chillin' in New York
(Baby I gotta be there)
Somewhere out in Puerto Rico
(Baby I gotta be there)

If you're in Chicago Hangin' out in the MIA
(I wanna be where you are)

Maybe you can be in LA
(Baby I gotta be there)
I just wanna be your lady
(Baby I gotta be there)

(I wanna be where you are)
(Could it be I stayed away too long?) 2x

What's gone is gone
And I wanna take it back
I'm not livin' in the past
But now I want you back
Gotta get you, gotta get you here
I been looking for you everywhere
Everywhere, baby
I'd apologize 1000 times to you if I could prove (prove)
Baby I'm wrong and out of breath
I been around the world tryin' to get to you

Really didn't mean it
When I said it, I'll repeat it
I was trippin' flippin' out It was nothin'
I was on a whole other level
Now I got it all together
I was sick, but now I'm better
I was trying to push you away
Really wanted you to stay
Didn't know that was the case
It was just plain crazy 'cause around here lately
Been thinkin' about nothing but my baby

If you're in Houston, Hosted in Atlanta
(I wanna be where you are)

Chillin' in New York
(Baby I gotta be there)
Somewhere out in Puerto Rico
(Baby I gotta be there)

If you're in Chicago Hangin' out in the MIA

   Hold It Don't Drop It

[[Chorus]]
You dont know what your doin
What you're doin to me
Try to stop it, cant stop it
Cuz you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin to leave
Hold it dont drop it, dont drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it

Everytime I try to run
Somethin keeps stoppin me
I try my best to turn around
But your touch wont let me leave
I cant control it
You put somethin inside of me
Cuz you're a problem
Boy you must have poisoned me

[[Chorus]]

Boy I must be buggin
Let you play those games I dont understand
Ill be that yo-yo on a string

Roll it down Ill come right back to your hand
I make excuses
But we keep on rockin anyway
But it aint workin
When I let you go you make me stay

[[Chorus]]

Wont let, me leave
Control, of me
You got, what I need
Hold it dont drop it, dont drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it
Wont let you go
Cant let you leave
I need your love
Inside of me
You got control
Control of me
Hold it dont drop it, dont drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it

[[Chorus]]

       I Need Love

Oh, oh oh...

This is where my story begins
Standing here with you
I'm about to give in
And I'm gonna give all I can give
Even though in previous relationships
I might have been mischievous
I wasn't always ready
I admit to this
But what a good feeling it is
I've had a lot of crushes
Close to nothing like this
Everytime the subject would come
I made up every excuse that I could think of
I used to run but now I'm getting warmed up
In a few words this feeling I could sum up

I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

I need

I was hangin' out with my friends
Seven nights a week
If there's a party I'm in
I started getting sick of it
But when I looked back I didn't know what it meant
I guess I wasn't interested
In finding something real
Though I was looking for it
You should've been looking for me
But you opened up my eyes
And now I can see
And everytime the subject would come up
When they say "I love you"
Then I only dumb up
A lot of guys
A girl or shut up
But you're the only guy that told me your love was endless
A lot of words with feeling can not sum up
But first I had to figure out who I was
To try and understand that there ain't no shortcuts
Now the only thing that's missing is your love

I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'

That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'

I need

Slow dance, hold hands
All I want is romance
If it's real, let me know it's real
Baby take a chance
'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me

Slow dance, hold hands
All I want is romance
If it's real, let me know it's real
Baby take a chance
'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me

For the first time in my life
I need love
Oh I need
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

I need

For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

I need

For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

I need

Slow dance, hold hands
All I want is romance
If it's real, let me know it's real
Baby take a chance
'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me

      Mile In These Shoes

Strangers always got some mess to spread
But I have learned to flick them off
Can’t walk a mile in my YSLs
I strap them on and I walk it off

Got ‘em saying: I can’t believe
She did it no she didn’t
My wild factor's got them crazy
Got ‘em saying: yea she did it
But I can’t believe it
Never said you can’t believe

Even if they try
They still can’t walk a mile in these shoes
They couldn’t even lace them up right
Honey these pumps are too big to fill
Ten million men can’t walk a mile in these shoes

My strut's so fierce
Steven's gotten mad at me
Laugh and talk behind my back
But they'll never get the best of me
I see ‘em doing my dance
I hear ‘em singing my song
I'm surpassing the rest
Cause that's how I was raised to do it

Got ‘em saying: I can’t believe
She did it no she didn’t
My wild factor's got them crazy

Got ‘em saying: yea she did it
But I can’t believe it
Never said you can’t believe

Even if they try
They still can’t walk a mile in these shoes
They couldn’t even lace them up right
Honey these pumps are too big to fill
Ten million men can’t walk a mile in these shoes

Even if they try
They still can’t walk a mile in these shoes
They couldn’t even lace them up right
Honey these pumps are too big to fill
Ten million men can’t walk a mile in these shoes

I’m walkin tall
I don't let their hatred test me
They bite the dust
Head above water, they still can’t breathe
My feet pound the ground
As I stomp it out
I dare you to walk a mile in my shoes

Even if they try
They still can’t walk a mile in these shoes
They couldn’t even lace them up right
Honey these pumps are too big to fill
Ten million men can’t walk a mile in these shoes

      Never Gonna Give Up


Forgiving him
was the first thing i had to to
in order to move on
forgetting him was not as easy to do
i had to teach myself to be strong
and its so easy to be scared
when i think of all that i shared
when i think of how he made me feel
the bad and the good sometimes i wish i could take it back
but we cant go back gotta keep moving
its so good
don't wanna hear no would or could
maybe i should've
stayed with someone who never knew that i was true
its so good now that im going forward
now that im growing now that I'm knowing
never gonna give up on
never gonna give up on love
never gonna give up on love


i have to admit
you weren't the only one
i thought i was at wrong to
Tried to be someone i knew that i wasn't
i thought i could make myself happy with you
and its so easy to be scared
when i think of all that i shared

when i think of how he made me feel
the bad and the good sometimes i wish i could take it back
but we cant go back gotta keep moving
its so good
don't wanna hear no would or could
maybe i should've
stayed with someone who never knew that i was true
its so good now that im going forward
now that im growing now that i'm knowin
never gonna give up on (ohh ohh )
never gonna give up on love(ohh)
never gonna give up on love

i knew i was gonna get through it
braking up is hard to do
but i had to do it
time had something to do with me figuring it out
what this is all about
when he came to me when he comes to me gotta do what best for me
its so good
don't wanna hear no would or could
maybe i should've
stayed with someone who never knew that i was true
its all good now that im going forward
now that im growing now that i'm knowing
never gonna give up on (ooh ooh )
never gonna give up on love(ooh)
never gonna give up on love

      Stay Together


Yeah .. Whoo!

Through the bumpy roads the others bite the dust
'cause they be thinking they're in love when they're in lust
But cliche breakin' up so easy
Im about to throw a curve ball honey
People let the stormy weather push them out
Back against the road it's easy to be over

Dont Sweat the little things wake up
Stay together
It's a new break up

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin'
Toe to toe
So strong and on and on
We up and runnin'
Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not A Thing Goes Out Just Keep Reachin'
Through The Storm We Stay Warm And On And On
We Keep On Lovin'

The stars are in our favor
This stuff comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together
That's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious
'Cause romance is underrated
Stay together
That's the new trend

Through the bumpy roads the others bite the dust
And seems like everyone's giving up when
These days breaking up is so cliche
Hear 'em screaming out, "Baby no please stay"
People wanna always hurry up and wait for
Someone better than the person they won't stay for
They Sweat The Little Things Wake Up
Stay together
It's the new breakup

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin'
Toe to toe
So strong and on and on
We up and runnin'

Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not A Thing Goes Out Just Keep Reachin'
Through The Storm We Stay Warm And On And On
We Keep On Lovin'

The stars are in our favor
This stuff comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together
That's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious
'Cause romance is underrated
Stay together
That's the new trend

(Hey, yeah...)

And though there will be the nights of fights
We must face it
It's like a rollercoaster
Ups and downs will come
As long as we hold tight
And never act complacent
Remember how we built this
Then our love is never done

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin'
Toe to toe
So strong and on and on
We up and runnin'
Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not A Thing Goes Out Just Keep Reachin'
Through The Storm We Stay Warm And On And On
We Keep On Lovin'

This time is in our favor
This time comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together
That's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious
'Cause romance is underrated
Stay together
That's the new trend

(Hey, uh!)

The Way It Is

It always feels like a love to me…in the beginning
My mind is just a mirror of the way my heart wants it to be…
I hope to see everything in his eyes, cause that’s where it starts with the truth and the lies
And I can-not hide my emotion; you cannot hide your intentions from me.

(Chorus)
Don’t you think, what I’m saying is, it’s just the way it is, it’s just the way it is
Not everything is what you say it is, that’s just the way it is, the way it is, the way it is

And everything you do to me, it’ll be done to you
And everything I put you through, well then-I’ll-go-through
But I’m willing to take that chance, for this type of romance…its special baby
I always look for love to be, so exciting…
But you can’t force it I’m finding, in reality chemistry is everything.


(Chorus x 2)
Don’t you think, what I’m saying is, it’s just the way it is, it’s just the way it is
Not everything is what you say it is, that’s just the way it is, the way it is, the way it is…

Yeah yeah

What your perception is, of our connection is simply perfection and it’s the same thing
If you’re accepting it, then I’m accepting it, simple perfection and its just the same thing,

uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uuuh-----uh uh uh uh uh uh uuuh-----uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uuuh-----uh uh uh uh uh uh uuuhh

(Chorus x 3)
Don’t you think, what I’m saying is, it’s just the way it is, it’s just the way it is
Not everything is what you say it is, that’s just the way it is the way it is the way it is!

     Wrong When You're Gone

Guess I Should Have Shut My Mouth
But I Had To Get It Out
So Much For Being Headstrong
Now Im, Going Halfway Out My Mind
I Know I Was Outta Line
No Scratch That, I Was Dead Wrong

Know I Shoulda Let It Go
But I Just Had To Be Right
Coulda Left It Alone
But No, I Had To Be Right
Swear I Woulda Just Fell Back
If I Knew All I'd Be Left With Is These
Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas Cuz You're Gone

Now Im Here Trippin
Cuz You Came Up Missin
And My Head Keeps Spinnin
It's Gettin Outta Control
I'm Backin Down This Time
I Don't Wanna Fight
I Don't Care Who's Right

Cuz I'm Wrong When You're Gone
When You're Gone
(3x)

Heaven knows if you were here
I'd be all up in your ear
Least you could do is answer your phone
Cause I realize my mistake
Baby I'll do what it takes
if I could just get you one on one

Know I Shoulda Let It Go
But I Just Had To Be Right
Coulda Left It Alone

But No, I Had To Be Right
Swear I Woulda Just Fell Back
If I Knew All I'd Be Left With Is These
Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas Cuz You're Gone

Now Im Here Trippin
Cuz You Came Up Missin
And My Head Keeps Spinnin
It's Gettin Outta Control
I'm Backin Down This Time
I Don't Wanna Fight
I Don't Care Who's Right



Cuz I'm Wrong When You're Gone
When You're Gone
(3x)


I Know I Pushed You Out
Runnin Off At The Mouth
Sayin All The Wrong Things
Callin You Out Your Name
I Was Unpredictable
I Was So Emotional
I Swear I'm Gonna Do Better
Can We Get This Back Together Again

{Pre-Chorus}

{Chorus}

Cuz I'm Wrong When You're Gone
When You're Gone

{Chorus}
