"Black Velveteen"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

Black Velveteen
Simple and clean
Oh what a bad machine
Black Velveteen
Supple and lean
The 21st century dream
Ready to please
Free from disease
She’s waiting on her knees
It’s not a sin
Titanium skin
Just take her for a spin
Black Velveteen
Simple and clean
Oh what a bad machine
Supple and lean
The 21st century dream
Nice piece of kit
Electronic clit
Just sit down for a fit
Ready to trip
A guaranteed hit
She’s all you ever wished

Black Velveteen don’t give a damn she’ll do dishes
Black Velveteen knows all the night spots in France
Black Velveteen’s cat smells like strawberry kittens
Black Velveteen always is ready to dance
Black Velveteen

Simple and clean
Oh what a bad machine
Black Velveteen
Supple and lean
The 21st century dream

Black Velveteen don’t give a damn she’ll do dishes
Black Velveteen knows all the night spots in France
Black Velveteen’s cat smells like strawberry kittens
Black Velveteen always is ready to dance
Black Velveteen

Simple and clean
Oh what a bad machine
Black Velveteen
Supple and lean
The 21st century dream

"If You Can't Say No"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

If You Can't Say No

People get around
This is a part for you
If you come undone
Then this is what you do

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me
But I also know your kind
Baby you got a lot of nerve
So just try to keep me in mind

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me
You went with another man
And I cried when I read your letter
But I don't really want to know
Where you've gone
Or if it was better

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me

"Thinking Of You"


Music: Lenny Kravitz/Lysa Trenier - Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

Tell me mama is your life a better change?
And tell me mama
Would you live your life the same or come back
And rearrange?
Tell me mama how is freedom?
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama
Are the colors deeper shades?
And tell me mama are there great big brass parades?
Does the sun shine night and day?
Tell me mama no more sleeping
Tell me mama no more weeping
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama is it just the way they say?
And tell me mama are you missing me the way
That I’m missing you today?
Tell me mama can you hear me?
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you

"Take Time"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

You can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready? On your mark begin
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Do you feel your life’s a big mistake?
Don’t you hate the way it’s all so fake?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel
All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we’re buying one in every size
Can’t you see it in the children’s eyes?
It’s about to get wild
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

"It's Your Life"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

They say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they’re wrong I want you so bad
We’ve been together for so long
How could they think we don’t belong?
But they’ll never know what you and I have
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on
All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It’s your life, it’s your life
They say that we don’t have a chance
We’re victims of unjust romance
But they couldn’t see the truth in their hands
We don’t have to live like they do
We’ll run away if we have to
And we’ll start a life that’s shining and new
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

"Straight Cold Player"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

I’m a straight cold player!


Little Girl's Eyes
Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

All I have and all I do
Cannot compare to the love of you
You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl’s eyes
You’re my star and when I’m far
You’re not alone cause your heart’s my home
You are my biggest prize
So beautiful and so wise
All I want to do when I come into the room is see her smile
When I look in my little girl’s eyes
You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl’s eyes

"You're My Flavor"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

The way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When you’re not around me
You know it just don’t feel the same
And I’ve waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you
’Cause you’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
You’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain
And now I’m a junkie
I’m running around without a brain
I got this jones deep inside me
And you are what I wanna do
You give me this feeling
You always make me feel brand new
’Cause you’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
You’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of

"Can We Find A Reason"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

Is there anyone out there willing to try?
Or we satisfied with just getting by?
We’ve hurt mother nature can’t you see her she’s crying
We’ve robbed and we’ve raped her and taken her child
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
We’re fighting more battles everyday we’re alive
We should be rejoicing but instead we cry
This world’s so polluted you would think we were blind
We poison our children before they’re defined
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
Excuse me for saying ’cause I’ve never been shy
But if we don’t stop this we sho’nuff goin’ die
Yes I hope we can make it ’cause this river’s run dry
Now our only battle will be to survive
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
It’s the New Millennium

"Without You"


Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

The sun is shining
But I don't feel the rays
The boats are sailing
But I don't want to play

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

I live life in luxury
But I believe it's a crime
When you can't enjoy it
And all the time cry
Or maybe some kind of spell
'Cause it feels like a curse
When there's so much water
But all the time thirst

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on death row
'Cause you are not there
I need a pardon
I can't stand the pain
What I'd do for your love now,
If there's love to regain

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

"Battlefield of love"


I am a soldier
A casualty of love
I've been from heaven
All the way to hell
I've had a journey
Much more than I can tell
I've got stories
Much more than I can sell

All this mass confusion
Causes chaos in my brain
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love
With all of the illusions
I won't ever be the same
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love

I'm a prisoner
A prisoner of love
I have been captured
And kept underground
I have been tortured
But I don't make a sound
'Cause I know one day
One day I will be found

All this mass confusion
Causes chaos in my brain
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love
With all of the illusions
I won't ever be the same
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love
