::Exhale
(Shoop Shoop)
Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale (yeah, yeah, say)
Chorus:
Shoop, shoop, shoop
Shoop be doop, shoop, shoop
Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us, the when's or why's
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find your point when
You will exhale (yeah, yeah, say)
chorus
Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's answers to your prayers
If you're searching for a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there
Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us, to wish you well
You'll find your point when
You will exhale (yeah, yeah, say)
chorus
::Step By Step
Well, there's a bridge and there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost
And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
But no one told me just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
'Cause I'm taking it...
Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile
Go your own way
And this old road is rough and ruins
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles I have to face
But I won't let my spirit fail me
But I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slow
Because I'm taking it...
chorus
Say baby, don't give up
You've got to hold on to what you've got
Oh, baby, don't give up
You've go to keep on moving
Don't stop
Yeah, yeah
I know you're hurting
I know you're blue
I know you're hurting
But don't let the bad things get to you
I'm taking it...
chorus
C'mon baby, gotta keep movin' [ad lib]
::Why Does It Hurt So Bad
Why does it hurt so bad?
Why do I feel so sad?
Thought I was over you
But I keep crying
When I don't love you
So why does it hurt so bad
I thought I had let you go
So, why does it hurt me so
I gotta get you outta my head
It hurts so bad
My life's been better since the day I left you boy
I must admit life's been kind to me
I went and did the things I said I would do boy
I found someone who loves me for me
Haven't had much drama since the day that we split boy
My heart's never been more at ease
And when I think of all the things you put me thru
Leaving you has been the best thing for me
chorus
Never again that's what I said to myself
I never wanna feel your kinda pain again boy
Just when I think it's over
Just when I think it's thru
I find myself right back in love with you
chorus
::Count On Me
Count on me through think and thin
A friendship I will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on...
I can see it's hurting you
I can feel the pain
It's hard to see the sunshine though the rain
I know sometimes it seems as if
It's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can...
chorus
I know sometimes it seens as if
We're standing all alone
But we'll get though it
Cause love won't let us fall
chorus
There's a place inside of all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answers there within, oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it
Just don't give in
chorus
::Heartbreak Hotel
(feat. Faith Evans and Kelly Price)
This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
You said that you'd be here by nine
And said you took your time
You didn't think to call me boy
Here I sit trying not to cry
Asking myself why you do this to me
Chorus 1 (sung by Faith Evans)
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writing you this letter, and this is hat I have to say:
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies
When someone else was on your mind
What you do to me
Look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you play with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me
Can't take what you did to me
Now I see that you been doing wrong
You played me all along.
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
That you were cheating on me.
How could you do it to me?
Chorus 2 (sung by Kelly Price)
This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
Chorus and ad lib
I aint goin to take it no more (4x)
(Kelly Price)Everthing you said was a lie
Don't lie to me (fade out)
::It's not right,but it's okay
Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out,but you came home around three
Now if six of ya'll went out
then four of you were really cheap
Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
It's not right ,but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
And don't you dare come
Running back to me
it's not right,but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week
The phone rings then you look at me
(why'd you turn and look at me)
You said it was one of your friends
from over 54th street
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID
I've been through all this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around
And take some more
Things are gonna change
Cause I won't be a fool anymore
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
Cause there's no more tears
Left here for you to see
Now is it really worth you going out like that
See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back
See all of this time I thought I had somebody
down for me
It turns out,you were making a fool of me
::I Learned the Best
Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart one more time
Ohh No No
Did you think that I’d still care
That there’d be more feeling there
Did you think you could walk back in my life
So you found you miss the love you threw away
Baby but you found it out too late
Too Late
Chorus:And so now you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now
I learned from you
I remember cold nights
Tears I though would never dry
How you shattered my world
With your goodbye.Your goodbye baby
Would’ve sold my soul then
Just to have you back again
Now you’re the last thing on my mind
Now you say your sorry and
You’ve changed your ways
Sorry but you changed you ways too late
Chorus
So when all you’ve got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you who said goodbye
Who said goodbye.
::All The Man That I Need
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same
Chorus:
He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got,
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need
And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close and won't let go
He won't let go
chorus
I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one for me
Oh yes you will
And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cos' I believe in you and me
I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down
See I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you
I will never leave you out
I will always let you in
To places no one's ever been
Deep inside, can't you see
That I believe in you and me
Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
But I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles
And love's a miracle
Baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free
I believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I'm free
'Cause I believe in you and me.
::Oh Yes
The day you held me in your arms
I still smell da scent of you
On my dress unbelievable
And you was so masculine
The way I felt youir chest up next to mine
I fell you in my heart
Now I breathe love
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy
And you the one I love
No other man can faze me
Cause you're in my heart
Every minute, daily
The time you looked into my eyes
I felt like falling in love
And I was mesmerized
Cause it's something you do
That makes me feel thuis way
I can't explain
You're my joy peace and happiness
And you...
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy
And you the one I love
No other man can faze me
Cause you're in my heart
Every minute, daily
::Joy
Chorus:
Joy, joy, my sweet joy
Joy, joy, down in my soul
Sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy
Oh!....Joy, joy, in my soul
Listen to the music, sound of the angels
Come and see the child who can make you whole
Lying in a manger, away from harm and danger
Oh!....Joy, joy, in my soul (2)
chorus
He's sent from up above, this special gift of love
He's sent from up above, this special gift of love
More prescious than silver or gold
He was sent this holiday, to take the pain away
Oh!....Joy, joy, in my soul (2)
Go tell it on the mountain, shouted from a valley
Tell 'em of the baby in swaddling clothes
Middle of renation, joy the celebration
Oh!....Joy, joy, in my soul......
Way down deep joy, unspeakable joy
I've got joy ... in my soul...
In my soul
::I Will Always Love You
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter sweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
I will always love you
I will always love you
::Get It Back
Remember when
It all began
We were all in love
Then came the friends
Telling you when your time for me
Was good enough
I constantly had to compete
With you crew and their schemes
Remembering
Back in the day I used to mean everything
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
Now tell me why
All of them nights
You had so much to go
When you said bye
Sometimes I tried, I tried
To make you choose
Now tell me how you can allow
You boys to control the time
We shared it was unfair
But now it's time for you to know
(Now if I told you)
That I'm moving on
(Boy what would you do)
Things just ain't the same
(We were supposed to)
Conquer everything, yeah
(Boy let me tell you)
You're got to make a change
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
(Do you rememebr)
The way you used to love
You would kiss and hug me
(I rememebr)
U haven't lately
(Do you remember)
All the things you gave me
Everywhere you'd take me
(Can't you see that)
I really really need you back
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
