"Grown Thangs"


[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah

What good is the money
When lately we've been missing each other
Cuz we've got work and kids, you know how it goes
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5
We spend most of the time chasing that dough

But not tonight, we're gonna both get fly
Call your momma, tell her come over
So we can have quality time
Cuz it's been too long since I held you in my arms
I can't wait no more, I'm ready to oooo

[1] - You make me wanna
Do thangs, do thangs, them grown thangs
Do thangs with you

Tonight we gon' forget our worries
Put the kids to bed
I'm going out instead with you

Steppin' out with you
I'm steppin on out with you, darling

Girl put that "celly" down
Don't even peek at your pager now
Just chill, relax, the kids will be cool
Grab two more Cosmos, we ain't thinkin' about tomorrow
We're in a club full of people
But it feels just like me and you

My baby's looking hot tonight
Catching everybody's eye
Look at them starin', but I ain't carin'
Cuz I know you're mine
We should do this more often
Got a fella feelin' kinda flossy
I can't wait to make your body go ooh, ooh, ooh

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

(You know how it goes)
(Keep chasin' that dough)

I'll ring the bell like I used to do
Hold the door for you, let you through
Take your hand and talk to you
Make you know you're my star
I'm gonna woo ya (yeah yeah)
Say pretty words to ya (yeah yeah)
Send chills right through ya (oh yeah)
And remind you how loved you are

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Bring Your Heart To Mine"


Why am I not surprised, I see it in your eyes
You're just not happy with your life
Running from guy to guy
Living another lie when you should be mine

I saw you on the block today
Was gonna speak, but I walked away
Couldn't find a single thing to say
Down the street the thought had still remained
Girl he must be insane
How could he treat you that way, oh

Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me this time
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth

I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
And I hope you understand it tonight
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
No mountain's too high to climb
To bring your heart to mine

Why do we play this game
Love can't be contained
I've got to make my move, oh yeah
I can feel the flames
Whenever you're close to me
I don't know what to do

I'll wait long as I can for you
Give all that I am for you
I know he's not the man for you
In my soul, I got plans for you
I'll be holding on (Yeah)
Cuz I know that he'll be gone, ooh

Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth

I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl I really hope you hear me this time
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
Just give me some kind of sign
And I'll bring your heart to mine

Girl, I know sometimes
That you feel like the sun don't shine
But if you look real deep inside
You'll realize you should be mine

Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
Won't you try to understand me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth

I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl, I swear that what I'm saying it right
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
I'll come for you anytime
To bring your heart to mine

Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
And give me your love
It's killing me but I'm trying
To bring your heart to mine

"Can Heaven Wait"


Quarter after seven, got a phone call
Telling me to get here quick
Said your girl is in a bad situation
They don't know if she's gonna make it

As I hurry to be by her side
I ask a thousand times, why oh why
There's no rhyme or reason in my life
With you lying here this way

I'd give anything just to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

[1] - Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life

Giving up the shame of my other life
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night

Thinking back on times that I've wasted
I should have cherished every day
All the different flavors that I tasted
Can't compare to you, no way

As I reminisce by your side
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes
All the things I did that weren't right
Wish I could apologize

I'd give anything if I could trade places with you
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

[Repeat 1]

I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive
Heaven has to wait one more day

Baby, take my breath so you can breathe
I need you here so don't you leave
Heaven has to wait

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Say It Now"


I hope you hear this cuz I'm about to say it now

Guess I'm to blame and it's just a shame
Cuz I had the chance to tell you what you meant
But I lived my life thinking I had time
And that in my mind I'd get to it

Now you've gone away, not a single day goes by
When I don't think about it
Your spirit's all around, I can say it now
I hope you hear this

Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way
And it ain't the same
Cuz you never ever got to hear me say
That I love you, cuz I waited too late
So oh, I've got to tell everybody
Don't make the same mistake

[1] - It's alright to say I love you out loud
And it's all good, so don't you keep it inside
Let it out, do it today
No no no, don't you wait
Cuz it just might be too late
To say I love you

Don't walk a mile inside my shoes
Cuz if you do, you're gonna regret it
Don't take it lightly thinking they might be
Here or there tomorrow

Why you wanna wait, communicate
Don't assume that they already know
How much, how much you're really feeling
And you really, really love them

Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way
And it ain't the same
Cuz you never ever got to hear me say
That I love you, cuz I waited too late
It's like I would tell anybody
Don't make the same mistake like I did

[Repeat 1]

Those three words make all the difference in the world
You might wait and miss your chance
So don't be scared to say what you're feeling
You can't turn back the hands of time
If you get the chance, do it right
Let it out, say it now
Say it

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

I'm ready
Ready to shout it out, shout it out loud
So ready
Oh how I wish I could tell you right now
But I waited too late
So today I won't make the same mistake, no
I won't do it, and if I get the chance I'll say it

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

It's alright

"Hearts Get Broken All The Time (But The Problem Is, This Time It's Mine)"


So many times I've seen
So many people's dreams
Lost and washed away
Out to the sea, yeah

I said "No, not I"
Pain would surely pass me by
Happening to them, but not to me, yeah

Hearts get broken all the time
Never used to worry about things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Now I'm worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine

Love would be all I'd need
How naive could I be
Trusting other people with my care, yeah

Never thought I'd have to be
One of love's casualties
Up until now my belief was that love was fair

Hearts get broken all the time
But I never worried 'bout things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
I keep worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine

This time my heart's breaking
This time my love's failing
I'm trying hard not to be bitter now

I never dreamed that the broken heart would be mine

Hearts get broken all the time
You think it's love, but it never really is
Never could imagine a thing like that (I wouldn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Got me worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This is mine, this is mine, yeah

Hearts get broken all the time
Never cared a doggone thing about that (I didn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
And the problem really is (This one is mine)
See the whole thing is the heart is mine

This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine

This time it's mine

The heart is mine

"How Do I Tell Her"


[1] - How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before

I'm doing all I can to try and understand
Why my feelings faded away
She's been nothin' but good to me
I don't wanna hurt her but I must be free
I can't stay in this love
How do I say goodbye

[Repeat 1]

She pretends she can not see
The love is gone from me
She carries on as if it is what it was before
But I don't love her anymore
I have to let her know
That I must let her go
I can't stay in this life
How do I say goodbye

[Repeat 1]

Oh, I don't know what to do about it
Gotta tell her, gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Oh, there's no way to go around it
I've got to tell her now
But I don't know how

Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I just gotta tell you
All the love we once had is through

Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I can't stay, I can't stay

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

"Any Day Now"


Any day, you'll be gone, oh yeah
Any day, you'll be gone

Any day now
I will hear you say goodbye my love
Then you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown
Any day now, I'll be alone
I know that, hey, I know that

Any day now
When the clock strikes go, you'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town
Any day now, love will let me down
Cuz you won't be around
No baby now, yeah

I know I shouldn't wanna keep you
If you don't wanna stay
Until you're gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
And I'm begging you to stay

Any day now
When your restless eyes meet someone new
And to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town
Any day now, I won't last for long
Cuz any day, you'll be gone
Then any day, you'll be gone
I know, I know that

You'll be gone, you'll be gone, you'll be gone
Yeah, mercy, any day now
Any day, you'll be gone
Mercy, yeah
Any day, you'll be gone

"If I Was The One"


I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
There's nothin' I can do, baby
Cuz your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
You'll never be, never be mine

[1] - But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night

If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life

If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
I'll never be, never be, never be right

[Repeat 1]

I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
And take you in my arms right now
And scream I love you right out loud
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say

[Repeat 1]

If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
If I was the one in your life

"Let's Make Tonight The Night"


Livin' day to day, the same old things
Enough to make you want to scream
Limited time, border line
Peace of mind is all you need
But I know a place far away
From all the noise and crowded streets
If ya jump in the car, it ain't that far
The ride with me is free

[1] - Let it flow, let it go, let me get your coat
Baby let it be me
Let me open that door, let me get your seat
Show a little bit of chivalry
Let me kiss you right there
Smellin' your hair, let me hold your hand
Play some soul
Baby let me know (I wanna be your man)

[2] - Let's make tonight the night
That we ride underneath the stars so high
Let's make tonight the night
That we fall in love if we think it's right
Let's make tonight the night
That we both decide what it's gonna be
Let's make tonight the night
That you fall in love with me finally

I remember when I used to sit
And wish that it would rain
Knowin' the sun would come to stay
And chase the clouds away
Ya gotta know that somethin' beautiful
Is always on the way
And deep in your heart
You feel the spark of love and everything's okay

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2]

Finally you'll say you love me
I betcha betcha you do
I betcha you do yeah

Finally tonight you're gonna be in love with me
Fall in love with me, yeah
Let's make tonight the night
Let's make tonight the night
Let's make tonight the night
Let's make tonight the night
