FOR THE RECORD

For the record
You oughta know
You wasn't thinking
When you let me go

But whatever
That's how it goes
Win some you lose some
And others you hold in your heart

Why it gets so hard
Tears you all apart
Even though you try to let go
No, no, no

Suddenly you're here
And it's so surreal
And I don't know
What the deal is

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

Them other irregularities
They can't compete with MC
The whole entire world can tell
That you love yourself some me

People see ya know
Asking all about
Me and how they always thought we
Were so perfect together

Let's re-write the end
Start over again
And it's gon go better now

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time
cause..

For the record
You'll always be a part of me
No matter what you do
And for the record
Can't nobody say
I didn't give my all to you

And for the record
I told you underneath the stars
That you belong to me
For the record
It's obvious that
We just can't let go of us, honey

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

For the record, baby
Now you know, baby

FOREVER

Those days of love are gone
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life
Only for you
From now until

[Chorus:]
Forever and ever my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
You will always be the only one...

As long as I shall live
I'll hold you dear
And I will reminisce
Of our love
All through the years
From now until

[Chorus]

If you should ever need me
Unfailingly I will return to your arms
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember
That we belong together
Never be ashamed
Call my name
Tell me I'm the one you treasure

[Chorus]

FOURTH OF JULY

Trembling
Starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine...

It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it swept over me
Like the wind through the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I've never truly felt the way that I
Felt that Fourth of July

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

GET YOUR NUMBER

(feat. Jermaine Dupri)

[chorus]
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number baby
So you and I can go get in it
Let me come and pick you up
And go take you out
Can I get your number baby
So I can show you what I'm all about
What I'm all about
Damn

I've been checkin' you out
And I noticed that you ain't just one of the crowd
So tell me won't you
Come on and see about me baby
I've got the Crys on ice and I'm 'bout to get nice
Up in VIP with all my ladies
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight
Tell me a little somethin' about you
Here's a little somethin' about me
I got a house in Capri and my own G4
And that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor

[chorus]
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number baby
So you and I can go get in it
Let me come and pick you up
And go take you out
Can I get your number baby
So I can show you what I'm all about
What I'm all about
Damn

Now that you're sitting next to me
I bet you're wondering
What my intentions are for you
And I to get into
Baby I just wanna
Hug and kiss and love ya
Look into my eyes baby don't be shy
Is it yes or no
We ain't got all night
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight
Tell me a little somethin' about you
Here's a little somethin' about me
I gotta pimp penthouse with a sick hot tub
We can watch the flat screen
While the bubbles fill it up

[chorus]
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number baby
So you and I can go get in it
Let me come and pick you up
And go take you out
Can I get your number baby
So I can show you what I'm all about
What I'm all about
Damn

La, la, la, la, la, la

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN

To save us all from Satan's power
When we had gone astray

HATE YOU

Ah... ahh... ahh...
Ahh... ahh...
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

La la la... ahh... ahh... ooh...
Ahh... ooh...

Once upon a time, we swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us and we changed
Then you sat alone in pride
And I sat at home and cried
How'd our fairytale just end up this way

We went round for round 'till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye

Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you...
Uh uh uh... Ah ah ah ahhhhh...


Oh this was a love phenomenon no one could explain
And I wish I could press reset and feel that feeling again
I sit and press rewind and watch us every night...
Wanna pause it, but I can't make it stay
(Just gotta let it play)

We went round for round 'till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye

Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a loss cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you...
Uh uh uh... Ah ah ah ahhh...

No need to call my phone cause I changed my number today
A matter a fact I think I'm moving away (away)
Sorry, the frustration's got me feeling that way
And I just keep having one last thing to say
And I just wanna hold you, touch you,
Feel you, be near you, I miss you baby baby baby...
I'm tired of trying to fake through
But there's nothing I can do...
Boy I can't wait to hate you...

Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you... baby...
Ah ah ah ahhhhh...

I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u
'Cause right now I need you
Can't wait to make you go (go) (repeat to end)

HEARTBREAKER

[Jay-Z:]
Yeah
Aight
([MC:] We're gonna do it like this)
Let's go
Jigga

[MC:]
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

[Jay-Z:]
Aight
You gotta bounce to this like this
You almost kinda watching this
Aha, whooo
Escape

[MC:]
Boy your love's so good
I don't wanna let go
And although I should
I can't leave you alone
Cause you're so disarming
I'm caught up in the midst of you
And I cannot resist at all
Boy if I do
The things you wanna to
The way I used to do
Could you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

It's a shame to be
So euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me things
That you know persuade me
To relinquish my love to you
But I cannot resist
At all
Boy if I do
The things you wanna to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

[Jay-Z:]
She wanna shop with Jay
Play box with Jay
She wanna pillowfight in the middle
What a night
She wanna drive my benz
With 5 of her friends
She wanna creep past the block
Spyin' again
She wanna roll with Jay
Chase skeeos away
She wanna fight with lame chicks
Blow my day
She wanna expect the rest
Kick me to the curb
If she find one strand of hair
Longer than hers
She want love in the Jacuzzi
Rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib
Keys to the newbie
She wanna answer the phone
Tattoo her arm
That's when I gotta send her back to
Her mom
She called me heartbreaker
When we apart it makes her
Wanna piece of paper
Scribble down "I hate ya"
When she know she love Jay because
She love everything Jay say, Jay does
And uhh

[MC:]
Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

HEAT

That's Mariah...

Heat, heat, heat
Heat, heat, heat
They said I couldn't come no harder
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother
They said I couldn't they said I couldn't
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother

I see you with your favorite dress on again
I guess you thought that you were slick
But I already peeped
You got your tag tucked in
You're strugglin'
Tryin' to look cute in your best friend's boots
But they don't hardly fit
Why you back again
Tryin' to steal my man
I told you once before but
You don't hear me
I ain't who you think I'm is
I will snatch off all this ish


You think I won't come out of
These heels and make it clear, ho?
(I ain't the one)
You think I won't f*ck up my hair and take it, b*tch?
Keep your hands off of my boo
Ain't no tellin' what I'll do
What makes you think you fly enough to
Take my man, no
Sho ain't the one
Sho ain't the one
I ain't the one


All these J.O.'s want what's mine
But they done lost their mind
They on him like the ice cream man,
Night and day
Why I got to fight to keep 'em all away
They crammin' but they know
They can't have none
Obsessin' but they're messin' with the wrong one


I ain't who you think I'm is
I will snatch off all this sh*t
You think I won't come out
These heels and make it clear, ho?
(I ain't the one)
You think I won't f*ck up my hair and take it, b*tch?
Keep your hands off of my boo
Ain't no tellin' what I'll do
What makes you think you fly enough to
Take my man, no
Sho ain't the one
Sho ain't the one
I ain't the one

They said I couldn't come no harder
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother
They said I couldn't come no harder
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother
They said I couldn't come no harder
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother
They said I couldn't they said I couldn't
Can't sleep on this heat don't bother

You think I won't come out these heels
And make it clear
I ain't the one
You think I won't f**k up my hair
And take it there
I ain't the one
Keep your hands up off my boo

Ain't no telling what I'll do
What makes you think you fly enough to
Take my man
I ain't the one
Sho ain't the one
Sho ain't the one

HELP ME MAKE IT

Take the ribbon from your hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin' soft against my skin.
Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side
'till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time.
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care if it's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
Cause, tonight I need a friend.


Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
And it's sad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.

Well, I don't care if it's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
Cause, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
Lord, it's bad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
