::The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

My world moves so fast today,
The past, it seems so far away,
And I squeeze it so tight that I can't breathe,
And everytime I try to be what someone else thought of me,
So caught-up I was unable to acheive,
But deep in my heart the answer it was in me,
And I've made up my mind,
To define my own destiny,

I look at my environment,
And wonder where the fire went,
What happened to everything we used to be,
I hear so many cry for help,
Searching outside themselves,
Now I know His strength is within me,
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me,
And I've made up my mind to define my own destiny,
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me,
And I've made up my mind to define my own destiny.

::Ex-Factor

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will


Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working, it ain't working
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy


I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I'll let go too
'Cause no one hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me

There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me

::Can't Take My Eyes Off You

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna
hold you so much. At long last love has 
arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're
just too good to be true. Can't take my
eyes off of yoy.

Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing 
else to compare. The sight of you leaves me 
weak. There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel. Please let me know
that it's real. You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.


I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love
you baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty 
baby, don't bring me down I pray. Oh pretty
baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me 
love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

Repeat 

I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love
you baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty
baby, don't bring me down I pray. Oh pretty
baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me 
love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love
you baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty
baby, don't bring me down I pray. Oh pretty
baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me 
love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

::Tell Him 

Yo heh heh tell him it's like uhh you know uhh 

Sweet sweet sweet tell him 
Let me be patient let me be kind 
Make me unselfish without being blind 
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not 
And endure what comes 
Cause he's all that I got and 
tell him... 

Chorus 
Tell him I need him [yeah] 
Tell him I love him [tell him] 
And it'll be alright 

Background singing
 Telll himmm be alright be alright 
Tell him tell him I need him 
Tell him I love him 
It'll be alright 
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall 
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all 
I can give away everything I possess 
But left without love then I have no happiness 
I know I'm imperfect [I know I'm imperfect] 
& not without sin [& not without sin] 
But now that I'm older all childish things end 
and tell him... 

Chorus 

Bridge 

I'll never be jealous 
And I won't be too proud 
Cause love is not boastful 
Oooh and love is not loud 
Tell him I need him 
Tell him I love him 
Everything's gonna be alright [w/ adlibs] 
Oooh oooh yeah yeah aww yeah 
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth 
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth? 
See what we now know is nothing compared 
to the love that was shown when our lives were spared 
and tell him... 

Chorus w/ adlibs til fade
