All Saints - Never Ever Lyrics

All Saints - Never Ever Video

A few questions that I need to know
How you could ever hurt me so
I need to know what I've done wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention
Or did I not give enough affection
Not only will your answers keep me sane
But I'll know never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face
Or even on the phone,
You can write it in a letter
Either way I have to know
Did I never treat you right
Did I always start the fight
Either way I'm going out of my mind
All the answers to my questions I have to find
 
My head's spinnin'
Boy I'm in a daze
I feel isolated
Don't wanna communicate
I take a shower
I will scour
I will run
Find peace of mind
The happy mind
I once owned, yeah
 
Vexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting,
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
 
Chorus
Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling yeah it just don't feel right
 
I'll keep searching
Deep within my soul
For all the answers
Don't wanna hurt no more
I need peace gotta feel at ease
Need to be
Free from pain
Going insane
My heart aches yeah
 
Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head
The alphabet runs right from A to Zed
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done, nothing wrong
Now I'ma just a-waiting,
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
 
Chorus x3
 
You can tell me to my face
You can tell me on the phone
Ooh you can write it in a letter babe
'Cause I really need to know
You can write it in a letter babe
You can write it in a letter babe
Repeat to fade

98 Degrees - The Love That You've Been Looking For Lyrics

98 Degrees - The Love That You've Been Looking For Video

Lonely, that's not how we're meant to be
But looking in your eyes I see
A heart that was abandoned
By a world that used to show you love
You feel like you're the only one
Whose day begins without the sun
You're left to turn and face it all alone
 
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if
Fate has done you wrong
But if you look inside your heart
You'll find the strength to carry on
 
You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
It's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
 
Suddenly, your broken heart begins to see
A love that lasts eternally
Just look ahead and never, ever let a single tear drop from your eye
It breaks my heart to see you cry
The pain that haunts you every night
Because of all the emptiness inside
 
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if your heart is caving in
But if we look inside the soul we'll find the love we have within
 
(well) You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
It's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day) (find your heart someday)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears (just turn away)
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
 
I know sometimes when things go wrong
You search for strength to carry on (carry on)
But all we need to take control
Is the love within my soul
'Cause you know (you know) that love will find a way
To reach your heart again someday
You must believe it's true
Now all you have to do...
 
(well) You've got to leave it all behind you (oh no)
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
It's gonna find your heart someday
(find it one day) (it'll find your heart someday)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you (oh oh oh ohhh)
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears
'Cause the love that you've been looking for, is here...

2Pac - Shorty Wanna Be A Thug Video

Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's wanna be
Shorties gonna be's a Thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
Said he gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
 
Verse One:
He was a nice middle class nigga
But nobody knew the evil he'd do When he got a little bigger
Get off the final blaze
While puffing on a Newport
Plottin' on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old niggas
But you the only one who ain't telling
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me its a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, 'n break rules until we major
Blaze up, getting with hoes through my pager
Was raised up, commencing to money makin' tactics
It's getting drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigga, Tell the lord
To make way for another straight Thug Nigga
I'm sitting getting buzzed, looking for some luv
From the homies, cuz shorty wanna be a Thug
 
Chorus
 
Verse Two:
Straight from the Hall to the Penn
Adolescent nigga scaling weight and standing Six feet Ten
He carried weight like a Mack truck
Gonna bust on some playa haters
If the mutha fuckas act tuff
Then thats when the lethal weapon with the razor
This little nigga smoking weed and getting blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast pull the trigga
Could take the life of a young nigga guns bigger
No mother and father, you see, the niggas all alone
Old timers my role model, the war zone
Released with this game 'til its a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear and it ain't hard to see
The future is looking dim
I'm trying to make a profit out of living in this sin
I'm in the dark getting buzzed, looking for some love
Out with the homies, cuz shorty wanna be a Thug
 
Chorus
 
Outro:
Shorty gonna be a thug
 
You little bad ass nigga, to the young niggas
Gotta stay sharp nigga, play your part
You got plenty of time (you bad mutha fuckas)
You only get three mistakes, then thats life, big baby (niggas craaazy)
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but sixteen nigga?
Sixteen?!?!
That's a bad muthafucker

Usher - Take Your Hand Lyrics

Usher - Take Your Hand Video

Verse 1
Hey, I feel I could just blow up, anytime I sould just lose control
Caught up in your lovin' every time I feel your touch
Second thoughts, small doubts start to beat me up
You're everything I wanted before I knew just what I wanted
And hey, hey, you're killing me on the inside
You're the only one I want I can't deny
 
Hook
Don't know what to do, what to say.
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused which way
Do I take your hand or let go?
Do I take your hand or let it go?
I can't take this feeling much more,
Do I take your hand or let go?
Don't know what to do, what to say,
I'm not sure what to tell you,
Confused which way do I go?
 
Verse 2
Hey, I feel I could just blow up, every time I
Feel your love I get get so caught up
It's your kiss it's your touch ti's just everything
But I'm feelin' like I wanna just run away
Can't tell you what I want, but you're everything I want
And hey, hey it's killing me on the inside
'Cause you're all I ever wanted so I can't deny
 
Hook
 
Bridge
Somebody tell me, oh, is it that I'm so wrong, I can't say
Or is it my life, so young, careless ways
And now in your eyes so much have you wanna give
But the more I hold you in my arms the pressure
Starts to build, build, build, build, build
 
Hook
 
Take your hand or let go, take your hand or let go. (5x)

U2 - Elevation Lyrics

U2 - Elevation Video

Yeah, yeah
 
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
 
I've got no self-control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation
 
A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
 
A mole, digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation
 
Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
 
A mole, digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation
 
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation

Train - Drops Of Jupiter Lyrics

Train - Drops Of Jupiter Video

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring, and she talks like June, hey, hey
 
Tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that Heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall from shooting star
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
 
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, mm
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's a room to grow, hey, yeah
 
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who was too afraid to fly so he never did land
 
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
 
Can you imagine your love, pride, deep-fried chicken?
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine your first dance, freeze dried romance?
Five-hour phone conversation, the best soy latte that you ever had
And me
 
But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
Tell me did you sail across the sun?
 
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights are faded
And that Heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall from shooting star
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself?
 
(Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na-na na-na na)
And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?
(Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na-na na-na na)
 
And did you fall from a shooting star, fall from a shooting star?
(Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na-na na-na na)
And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

Toni Braxton - He Wasn't Man Enough Lyrics

Toni Braxton - He Wasn't Man Enough Video

Darkchild, Toni Braxton
Darkchild yeah
 
Listen, girl, who do you think I am?
Don't you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?
Looking at me like I'm hurt
When I'm the one who said I didn't want it to work
Don't you forget I had him first!
 
(Bridge)
What you thinkin', stop blaming me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know now here's your chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been, yeah
Do not be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you
 
(Chorus)
What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him, but you married him
Do you know I made him leave
Do you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn't man enough for me
 
Listen, girl, didn't he tell you the truth?
If not then why don't you ask him
Then maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worrying about me
And hopefully you won't find
All of the reasons why his love didn't count
And why we couldn't work it out
 
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
 
Oh yeah, so many reasons why our love is through, yeah
What makes you think he'll be good to you, no
It makes no sense 'cos he will never change
Girl, you better recognize the game
 
(Chorus) x3

Tim McGraw - One Of These Days Lyrics

Tim McGraw - One Of These Days Video

Used to chase that boy home from school
Called him freckled-face, red-headed fool
He was different...he wasn't cool like me
Sticks and stones didn't break any bones
But we never left well enough alone
And one day he ran away from home, you see
And I passed him as he walked away
And in his eyes I heard him say
 
One of these days you're gonna love me
You'll sit down by yourself and think
About the times you pushed and shoved me
And what good friends we might've been
And then you're gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little but
One of these days you're gonna love me
 
Patty Sue was a small town beauty
I took one look at her and had to pull her to me
Lord knows she should've seen right through me
When I promised her the world
But at 17, you only want one thing
I left her standin' with my high school ring
Innocent tears in a pourin' rain
As I walked away
And I still see her in my dreams
And to this day she's whispering
 
One of these days you're gonna love me
You'll sit down by yourself and think
About the time you turned from me
And what good friends we might've been
And then you're gonna sigh a little
And maybe even cry a little but
One of these days you're gonna love me
 
Now everybody stands up
The congregation sings
It's a song of sweet forgiveness
And as the chorus rings
The wind blows clear my memory
The pages start to turn
Then suddenly I'm singin'
The moment that I learn
 
One of these days I'm gonna love me
And feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days, I'll rise above me
And at last I'll find some peace
Then I'm gonna smile a little
And maybe even laugh a little but
One of these days I'm gonna love me

Tamia - Show Me Love Lyrics

Tamia - Show Me Love Video

(Chorus)
When I'm down
You show me love
When times get rough
You show me love
When I can't go on
You show me love again
Over and over again
 
When I had no one to call my own
So brokenhearted and all alone
You were there to comfort me
You're my everything
And no one can love me like you do
 
(Chorus)
 
When I had no one to turn to
You were always there to see me through
No one can love me quite the way you do
You're my heart, you're my joy
And everyday
You make it alright
 
(Chorus 2x)
 
Late at night
When I'm troubled 'bout tomorrow
You come and make everything alright
In my time of need
Baby you give love to me
My love, my joy
You know you do
You know you give me love
 
(Chorus )

Stevie Wonder - Lately Lyrics

Stevie Wonder - Lately Video

Lately I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you has been hanging
Round my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say, no special place to go
But when I ask, 'Will you be coming back soon?'
You don't know, never know
 
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
 
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I had no reason
With your heart
Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But, when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping
You just say, 'Nothing's changed'
 
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye
 
Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
