Blondie - Maria Lyrics

Blondie - Maria Video

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
 
Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?
 
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
 
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
 
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
 
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
 
Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
 
She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
 
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
 
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Avant - Wanna Be Close Video

Oooo I wanna be girl let me be ..
I wanna be everythin your man's not
And I'm gonna give you every little thing I got
Cause you are more than a man needs
That's why I say you're truly my destiny
I'm gonna get ya If it takes until forever
No you don't feel me if forever turns into never
I'll let you know my love is just as strong
And for you never just ain't that long
 
(Hook 1:)
 
I wanna be the smile you put on your face
I wanna be your hands when you say your grace
I wanna be whatever is your favorite place, oh
I just wanna be close
I wanna be the hat you put on your head
I wanna be the sheets you put on your bed
I wanna be the skirt wrapped around your legs
Oh, I just wanna be close
 
(Verse 2:)
 
And even if the day turns into night
I will love you by candlelight
And even if he water starts to run over
I'll be there to put you on my shoulder
And if it's hard for you to get to sleep
I will sing you a melody,
I wanna feel this way Till the end of time,
Cause I pray one day That you will be mine
 
(Hook 1:)
 
I wanna be the smile you put on your face
I wanna be your hands when you say your grace
I wanna be whatever is your favorite place, oh
I just wanna be close
I wanna be the hat you put on your head
I wanna be the sheets you put on your bed
I wanna be the skirt wrapped around your legs
Oh, I just wanna be close
 
(Verse 3:)
 
See my life is filled with up and downs
And I'm ok when you're around
And when I'm in a storm my nights are cold
Reach out your hands for me to hold
See you're my queen on a throne
And you're the reason For a song
And I can't wait to fill you up with love
Fill you with love
 
(Hook 2:)
 
I wanna be your sun, your stars, and your moon
I wanna be your hot summer day in June
I wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume
I just wanna be close
I wanna be the seed that bare your life brand new
I wanna be the one that's so faithful and true
I wanna be the man down that aisle in that suit, yes
I just wanna be close

Avant - Get Away Lyrics

Avant - Get Away Video

I'm back again, in this town, to find a girl that I used to know
I bumped into a friend of mine and she told me where to go
She said go right down to 56th street,
Make a left at the corner store,
There will be a house on the alley way
I hope she didn't move away
I pray she's still around
But somebody came to the door that I didn't know
And I knew I had to let her go
Is it over? All over?
I let a good girl get away
 
1~ How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
Baby I miss you and I need your love
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
It could have been our anniversary
I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms
 
Remember when we talked about
All the things that we planned to do
Our wedding day, a house in the valley,
And maybe a kid two
We could have had it all, but somehow it all fell apart
I agree to take the blame, see I'm feeling so ashamed
I never should have lied
I'll give anything to see your pretty face again
To hold you, to be with you, heaven give me one more chance
 
~Repeat 1~
 
If only it were possible for me to turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything, I'll give anything just to make her mine
I can't live without your lovin baby, I can't go on another day
Where did she go? I gotta know
I let a good girl get away, get away, get away
 
~Repeat 1~

Alicia Keys - Troubles Lyrics

Alicia Keys - Troubles Video

(Yea yea yea yea yea, ooh)
Dear Lord, can you take it away?
This pain in my heart just follows me by day
(Yea yea yea yea yea, ooh)
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall
Oh my goodness, goodness
 
Feels like the world is closing on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared
 
(Chorus)
If you're troubled
You just gotta let it go
If you're worried, baby
You just gotta let it go
All your hustles ain't for nothin'
You just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby
All you do is let me know
 
Why does it feel
That my mind is constantly tryin' to pull me down?
I can't seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place?
 
Chorus
 
(music break)
 
Chorus x4
 
Oh
Girl I'll run to you
You is all I have to worry
Amen

Air Supply - Lonely Is The Night Lyrics

Air Supply - Lonely Is The Night Video

Really thought that I could live without you
Really thought that I could make it on my own
Sent you away, yeah, I said, I didn't need you
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Now, I'm so lost without you
Now, you're not here and now I know
 
Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely am I
 
Never thought that I that I would need you
Never thought that I that I'd be missing you
Gotta get you back, I just got to find a way now
To let you know, to let you know, to let you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world it just ain't right
 
Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely am I
 
I can make it through the day, I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend, and I tell myself I'll be alright
But lonely is the night
Lonely is the night, now, I'm so lost without you
Now, you're not here and now I know
 
Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely is the night
 
Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely is the night
 
Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side

Take it easy
With me, please
Touch me gently
Like a summer evening breeze
Take your time,
Make it slow

Just let the feeling grow
 
Make your fingers
Soft and light
Let your body
Be the velvet of the night
Touch my soul,
You know how

Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down
 
There's a shimmer
In your eyes

Of a thousand butterflies
Please don't talk,
Go on, play

And let me float away

702 - Steelo Lyrics

702 - Steelo Video

I'm gonna keep it real,
How you make me feel,
Boy you give me chills, baby.
I'm gonna break it down,
You just drive me wild,
Whenever you're around.
 
You know how I do,
And you know how I flow,
Can I get your name and number,
Cuz I like your steelo.
And I dig the way you move,
And the way you do your thing,
Baby you can bring it on,
You can swing it this way.
 
Boy it's something about you,
That make me tell my friends,
But they don't understand, no, no.
They don't know your style,
With your high profile,
The flyest thing in town.
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
You stay on my mind
Think about you all the time
Got to get to know you well
If you kiss then I won't tell
(Repeat)
 
Kiss me, oh, hold me, I say squeeze me, oh squeeze me, whoa
Kiss me, oh, hold me, I say squeeze me, whoa, kiss me
 
(Ha ha, ha) One two, check it, check it, check it out,
Follow, follow me, Minnie Minnie Minnie Mouse.
One two check it out,
Lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme break it down.
(repeat)
This track is nasty like pornography,
Word to mommy I like Joe but he's sloppy, dag.
Poppy got a brand new bag, for real,
I taking 'keel O'Neal like Shaq, check.
Ask Michael Jackson who bad,
He says I am but the queen not drag.
Dag I'm bad enough to let my pants sag,
I be in Vegas where 702 be at,
Check that.

3LW - This Goes Out Lyrics

3LW - This Goes Out Video

My mom and dem don't like ya, my friends all think you triflin,
But I don't feel quite like them, in fact I'm out to spite them,
The love we share is special, its on a whole
Nother level, he's firm with me, he's gentle,
He's intimate, yet mental
 
But he's quick to flip,
He don't understand, street but sweet,
My kinda man, goes to church,
Might be a thug, he breaks me off,
Show a lot of love, disrespect,
He's off the heezy,
You don't want that, please believe me,
Thats the only way he knows how to show me how much he cares.
 
This goes out to my bandana rockin, out on the blockers,
Chasin that dough, bad baby daddies, 1st of the month,
Child support, all non-votin', newport smoking,
I still got love for ya'll and this goes out to my 3rd strike paroller,
Dry philly rollers, sittin' on dubs, cristal poppin, loud talkin, frontin,
Drunk in the club, live wit yo mamma, always in drama,
I still got love for yall.
 
Somebody's always hatin, they're always sittin around waitin,
Til you make a new mistake and get sent back
Upstate and they can just say that I told ya
Shoulda listened when I told ya,
So I'll cry on their shoulder,
They'll be so glad its over.
 
But he'quick to flip, he don't understand,
Street but sweet, my kinda man, goes to church, might be a thug,
He breaks me off, shows alot of love,
No disrespect, he's off the heezy, you don't want that,
You gotta believe me, thats the only
Way he knows how to show me how much he cares.
 
This goes out to my bandana rockin, out on the blockers,
Chasin that dough, bad baby daddies,
1st of the month, child support, all non-votin', newport smoking,
I still got love for yall and this goes out to my 3rd strike paroller,
Dry philly rollers, sittin on dubs, cristal poppin,
Loud talkin, frontin, drunk in the club,
Live wit yo mamma, always in drama, I still got love for yall...
 
(La, la, la...na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, la, la, la)
You keep chasin' that dough yeah...child support

And this goes out, to my 3rd strike parollers, dry philly rollers,
Sittin' on dubs....drunk in the club yeah, yeah, yeah

Dry philly rollers, sittin' on dubs, cristal poppin',
Loud talkin', frontin', drunk in the club,

Monica - I Wrote This Song Lyrics

Monica - I Wrote This Song Video

Verse 1:
He's the kind of guy
That runs the streets
But he treats me good
And he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
And I respect the fact that
He's chosen that life
But it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
Wondering where he's at, is he okay?
I wanna be by his side
But I commit a crime
I need to decide
If I don't wanna live that way
 
Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
But I need to understand
So I wrote this song
Couldn't look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye
 
Verse 2:
Though he promised that he would never put me in harm's way
That is something that he can't control
The game remains the same
Now he says he wants out of here
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he will go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at and it hurts so bad
That I had to chose if I wanna live, or die with you
 
Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
But I need to understand
So I wrote this song
Couldn't look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye
 
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
But I need to understand
So I wrote this song
Couldn't look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye
 
Bridge:
I tried to give him hope
And promise him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
The tears fell from my eyes
And there's no turning back
There's only goodbye
 
Chorus:
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
But I need to understand
So I wrote this song
Couldn't look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye
 
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
But I need to understand
So I wrote this song
Couldn't look him in his minds
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye
 
I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here without you
Without you
Without you
