:: Real Love

Verse 1
We are lovers true and through and though
we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searchin' for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need

Chorus
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Verse 2
Oooh, when I met you I just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspirations
Lead me to want some real love

Chorus

I got to have a real love
Loves so true and oh baby
I thought your love was true
I thought you were the answer to
The questions in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe
I'll find my real love

Verse 3
So I try my best and pray to God
He'll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me twards
A love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime,
winter, spring, and fall

Chorus(x2)

You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
And still I'll never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way because it
Seems he can't be found

Chorus(x2)

Real Love

Verse 1
Baby, there's no need to tell ya
As far as I can clearly recall
My love has been here for you
So you don't have to worry at all
I'll sacrifice my time 
I'll make sure you're satisfied
And it's no hard thing to the joy I bring
I wanna give you all my love

Chorus
Loving you 
(That's all I wanna do)
Every day
(And every hour, baby)
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit

(That's all I wanna do)
Every day
(And every minute, every hour, baby)
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
(My love is yours)

Verse 2
Baby, I'm in need of your love
And you got that touch 
That I need so much
And I am about to explode
Freely, completely, everything you want I'll be
Good love down to the last drop
And I'm not gonna stop

Chorus

Loving you, is all I wanna do
Loving you, is all I wanna do

:: I Don't Want To Do Anything


(Chorus)
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else

(Vs.1) K-ci
Listen baby

Every night and day
I dream of another way
to tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong 
You just wanna be loved all night long baby 

(Chorus)

(Vs.2) Mary J. Blige

You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

K-ci
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong

Mary
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
(Mary & K-ci) Cause we belong together baby

(Music plays)

Mary and K-ci
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you

When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time 
And get it, get it right in the groove

When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last

Chorus

Now I've got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it

:: My Love


Ohhhh,
Baby
What'cha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love

Verse 1
I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart
That was so long ago that I thought 
We could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you wanna come back

Chorus
What'cha gonna do without my love
(My love)
My love
What'cha gonna do without my love
(What'cha gonna do, what'cha gonna do, baby)
What'cha gonna do without my love
(My love)
My love
What'cha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you

Verse 2
Sweet memories of yesterday 
When it all seemed so right
I was loving you, kissing you, 
Holding you tight
I wish you know that a woman
That you learn to leave today
And it's a shame that you wanna come back now baby
My love has gone away

Chorus

Bridge
I played the fool for you baby
And you stole away my heart
(What'cha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
(What'cha gonna do)
Sweet memories of yesterday
(What'cha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away

:: Changes I've Been Going Through


Oh, don't you wanna be with me

Chorus
Can't you see what I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
Changes I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you

Verse 1
It's all gone
The love I thought we shared is gone away
Maybe it's better that we didn't stay together

Seems like we've gone through this a thousand times
Maybe I still don't have the answer
Why can't you tell me why we couldn't be together

Chorus

Verse 2
See, I didn't want to ever hold you tight
But still I need love and affection
Was it that hard for you to show me some attention

Tell me baby, did I push you away
Was I coming on to strong for you
Why can't you tell me
Tell me what am I do
Oh can't you see

:: What's The 411?


(Chorus)
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on, hun
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

(Vs.1- Grand Puba)
Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year 
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
let suckas step up and see
I'll flip the script and get harder than Jepordy
I shot the sherif and the muthafuckin deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast 
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster 
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?

(Chorus)

(Vs.2- Mary J. Blige)
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week 
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin that, No I'm not havin that
You gotta do alot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just aint runnin up in me
I need a man who's lookin out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you aint with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?

(Bridge)
M All my love is all I have
P And Grand Puba's very special
M All my life I look for you
P And today your dreams come true
M You need me and I need you
P Grand Puba is very special 
M Things just seem to do devine
P This is how the two combine
M I know this love was meant to be
P Mary Blige is something kinda special
M Love is life and life is living
You're very special
