No Question - If You Really Wanna Go Lyrics

No Question - If You Really Wanna Go Video

Tell me why you're trippin
While I'm out acting a fool
You don't have to work for nothing
Cause I make sure that you're cool
The only thing that matters
Is that you stay honest with me
If I am your boy
Then who the hell is he
Last night you didn't even come home
I sat out on your steps and called you all night long
Feel God from the depth of my soul
I can't hold you if you wanna let go, oh,oh,oh,oh,
 
Chorus:
If you really wanna go,
Go on, don't stay
If you really wanna take your love away
If you really wanna go solo
It's okay
Babe it's you life, ooh ooh
 
Remember when I met you
You life was lack of love
I gave your life a reason
You should thank the Lord above
 
You felt someone to take your messes
And sometimes understand
Who would hold you next to God,
It will never raise a hand
I could've sworn I've done everything alright
You got a man who comes home to you
Each and every night
I'm so mad
I just wanna jump place
But if you wanna go
Then I can't make you stay
 
Chorus
 
Tell me what I'm suppose to do now
I wish that it could work out somehow
I laced you up,
Gave you all my love,
Showed you the game and I read you up
Now you say you just wanna bounce
 
Chorus till end

Nas - Heaven Lyrics

Nas - Heaven Video

(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you
 
Nas
If Heaven was a mile away
And you could ride by the gates
Would you try to run inside when it opens would you try to die today?
Would you pray louder finally believing His power?
Even if you couldn't see, but you could feel would you still doubt him?
How would you start acting?
Would you try to put the ki's down?
Thinking every drug sell that you make in the streets He can see now
Would a fiend even want to get high, would he stop smoking?
If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in
To get away and escape from the craziness
And I bet you there's a Heaven for an atheist
It's hard taking this
Racist planet where they take another brother in a handcuff
Even if he innocent nigga get on the car put your motherfucking hands up
Thinking I'm a lose it
My mom's in chemo
Three times a week, yo keep trying but people
Is hard and God, your young soldier's not so bold
But need you
This world's my home but world I would leave
 
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you
 
Nas
Nigga what you think I'ma stop building
I'ma stop feeling like I'm Amistad's great great grandchildren
How I'm not gonna want to make millions
Since the quarter water days in the hallways making fake coke
Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper in my mouth all day
But then my style has quite a while that same type as Ill and Al Skratch
Game time to them cats never looked back Cristal blowing dub sacks
That's when it all just hit me
You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less my nigga spend it all with me
I'd give it all away quickly
Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks free of any autographs so
Not to be recognized forgive me
It's becoming unbearable
Making hits is easy
Put a famous bitch on the hook there you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise
Preachers touching on altar boys
Sodomizing not realizing God is watching before the Lord
How can they do the devil's work?
A man giving another man head in church
Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought wishing that I fled the Earth.
 
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?
(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you

Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life Lyrics

Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life Video

One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll . . .
 
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
 
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
 
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
 
One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

I can remember when we had, we had it all

Do do do do da da dah
Ooh ooh ooh ooohhh
Do do do do da da dah
Ooh ooh ooh ooohhh
 
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away

Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely night
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away?
 
Dream lover, come and rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind

The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Every day
Of my life
Always
So come and take me away
 
Dream lover, come rescue me

Marc Almond - The Days Of Pearly Spencer Lyrics

Marc Almond - The Days Of Pearly Spencer Video

A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
 
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
 
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
He stumbles blindly on
 
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass has gone
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
 
Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot-gut gin
You played and lost not won
 
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost run
The race is almost run
 
A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
 
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from
 
The days of Pearly Spencer
Ahh Ahh
The race is almost won

Lionel Richie - Penny Lover Lyrics

Lionel Richie - Penny Lover Video

The first time I saw you
Oh you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
 
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
Penny love don't you walk on by
Penny lover you're my one desire
Tell me baby now could this be true
That I can need someone
Like I need you
 
Nights, warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl, I surrender
What more can I do
 
I spent all of my life
In search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl, I'd do anything just please stay
Oh oh oh oh oh
 
Penny love don't you walk on by
Penny lover you're my one desire
Tell me baby now could this be true
That I can need someone
Like I need you
 
I don't understand it
Oh what's come over me
And I'm not gonna worry
No, not anymore..
 
Cause when a man's in love he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist
 
Oh oh oh oh oh

Kimberley Locke - Change Lyrics

Kimberley Locke - Change Video

Sorry for what I forgot to say
But you know how words get in the way baby, lately
Wasn't strong enough to cut right through
All the red tape between me and you, baby
Time escapes me
 
What's it gonna take to shake these blues
Pushin' through the clouds just to get to you
Can't hold back the storm that's blowin' through, yeah
 
(Chorus)
 
I feel a change, babe
Washin' over me
I feel the rains, babe
Comin' to set me free
It's a one way track
 
Ain't comin' back
This trains about to leave
I feel a change comin' over me
 
Never noticed that it's kinda strange
Same story but a different day lately, baby
Gotta get up gotta change the scene
Gotta rip this page from the magazine
 
(Chorus)
 
I ain't tryin' to be difficult no, no
I ain't tryin' to be mean
I just gotta do right now
What's best for me, yeah
 
(Chorus)

India Arie - Complicated Melody Lyrics

India Arie - Complicated Melody Video

If he were a color
He'd be a deep dark forrest green
If he were a car
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number
He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind
If he were an animal
He'd be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometime
 
But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
 
But he means the world to me
 
If he were a building
He'd be a beautiful cathedral
Cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance
He'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango
 
But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
 
But he means the world to me
 
He ain't the reason for the sun and the moon
He is just the reason for this here tune
 
Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)
Said he means the world to me
Me me me yeah
He means the world to me yeah
 
Complicated melody that complicated fellow he
He's a complicated melody
I almost can not sing it on key
