Brian McKnight - Could Lyrics

Brian McKnight - Could Video

Lying alone in my room
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Trying to figure out
If this is it, this time
Just can't stop thinking
About the way you make me feel inside
I just can't get you off my mind
No matter how hard I try
 
Could you be the one for me
Could we dance the night away
I wanna give you everything
Though I don't have much
Could you fall in love with me
Could you love me the rest of my life
Could you forever be
The one for me this time
I walk around in a daze
The ice is melting from my heart
Can I ever know if you feel the same
Are you the sunshine that's begging me
Come in from the rain
Or have you come into my life
To turn around and take your love away
 
When I look into your eyes
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
They tell me that you're mine
But I keep asking myself
 
Could you forever be
The one for me
This time

Brian McKnight - Back At One Lyrics

Brian McKnight - Back At One Video

It's undeniable
That we should be together
It's unbelievable
How I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know
If you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
Yeah
 
One.. you're like a dream come true
Two.. just wanna be with you
Three.. girl its plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four.. repeat steps one through three
Five.. make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start Back at One (yeah)
 
So incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional
Once you know what its all about babe
And undesirable
For us to be apart
Never would of made it very far
Cause you know you got the keys to my heart
Cause
 
One.. you're like a dream come true
Two.. just wanna be with you
Three.. girl its plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four.. repeat steps one through three
Five.. make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start Back at One (yeah)
 
Say farewell to the dark night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
 
One.. you're like a dream come true
Two.. just wanna be with you
Three.. girl its plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four.. repeat steps one through three
Five.. make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start Back at One

Bon Jovi - Damned Lyrics

Bon Jovi - Damned Video

I'm lying here beside you in someone else's bed
Knowing what we're doing's wrong
But better left unsaid
Your breathing sounds like screaming
It's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger
But my heart is in your hands
 
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Damned, damned
 
A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind that's blowing through those secrets that we keep
Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you
By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets
 
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Damned, damned
 
Why don't you talk to me? ('Cause I'm too blind to see)
Why don't you look at me? ('Cause I'm afraid to breathe)
What do you want from me? (All that I can stand)
The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know
My soul is damned
 
Don't worry
I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name
And if you see me on the streets, don't wave, just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight
The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate
 
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes

Bon Jovi - Bang A Drum Lyrics

Bon Jovi - Bang A Drum Video

I went to see the preacher
To teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then the preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart
Your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen
 
Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me
 
I called upon my brother just the
Other day, he said: John I'm gonna
Die if I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just trying to make ends meet
I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet
I'd bang a drum for the dying
 
Bang a drum for the truth
Bang a drum for the innocence
Lost in our youth
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for you brother
And a drum for me
 
I don't know where all the rivers run
I don't know how far, I don't know how come
But I'm gonna die believin'
Each step that I take
Ain't worth the ground that
I walk on
If we don't walk it our
Own way
No I don't claim to be a Wiseman
A poet or a saint
I'm just another man who's searching
For a better way
But my heart beats loud as thunder
For the things that I believe
Sometimes I wanna run for cover
Sometimes I want to scream
 
Bang a drum for tomorrow
Bang a drum for the past
Bang a drum for the heroes
That won't come back
Bang a drum for the promise
Bang a drum for the lies
Bang a drum for the lovers
And the tears they've cried
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believe

Arctic Monkeys - Potion Approaching Lyrics

Arctic Monkeys - Potion Approaching Video

I was biting the time zone
And we embellished the banks of our bloodstreams
And threw caution to the colourful
Then we fell asleep in the car
 
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth
And then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder
 
That yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on
 
I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
And she'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
 
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd spend it chasing after you
'Cause she's not shattering my attitudes
No matter how she folds the potion
 
Yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on to
 
I'm swinging on
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
 
Potion approaching
Shield your eyes
Potion approaching
Visualize
Holding a token
Swollen in size
Potion approaching
Shield your eyes
 
Oh, but if we're gonna escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go-kart?

Alicia Keys - A Woman's Worth Lyrics

Alicia Keys - A Woman's Worth Video

You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
(Baby, you know I'm worth it)
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
(Baby, you know I'm worth it)
 
Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat your woman right?
Not just dough, better show that you know she's worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth
 
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
(When he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
(Please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
(First)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
(A woman's worth)
 
(Hold up)
 
If you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
(Baby, I know you're worth it)
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
('Cause baby, I know you're worth it)
 
She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth
 
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
(When he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
(Please me)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
(First baby)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
 
No need to read between the lines spelled out for you
(Spelled out for you)
Just hear this song 'Cause you can't go wrong when you value
(When you value value)
A woman's
Say
(Woman's)
Woman's worth
(Woman's)
Yea
 
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
(When he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
(Please me)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
(First baby)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
(A woman's worth)
 
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
(Nothing like a woman's worth)
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
(Comes first)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
(A woman's worth)
 
Cherish that woman, you better please that woman

98 Degrees - You Are Everything Lyrics

98 Degrees - You Are Everything Video

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you
As she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed when
It wasn't you, wasn't you
Ooh, oh
 
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
 
How can I forget when
Each face that I see
Brings back memories, of being with you
I just can't go on living life as I do
Comparing each girl to you
No they just wont do,
There not you
 
Chorus

98 Degrees - This Gift Video

The snow is fallin', The city is white.
You're eyes are shinin', Like diamonds tonight,
And we're all alone, There's no one home.
You're finally in my arms again.
 
The night is silent and christmas is here.
I couldn't ask for more than havin' you near.
Cuz I love you girl, (Love you girl)
And I always will, (Always will)
And now I know the moment is right,
The moment is right.
 
'Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight,
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time.
It's something to last for as long as you live,
Tonight I'm gonna give you, (oh girl) all my heart can give.
 
I thought I'd give you sumthin' shiny and new,
I tried to find somthin' worthy of you,
But I realized, when I looked inside,
There's some things that money can't buy.
 
(Oh no), I feel the magic, whenever you're near,
I feel it even more this time of the year,
'Cuz I love you girl, (Love you girl)
I always will (Always will)
And now I know the moment is right,
The moment is right.

I'm down on my knees, there's no better time.

Tonight I'm gonna give you, all my heart can give.
 
You know I'll always be true to you,
And you know I'm the one you can turn to, (oh yeah)
Anytime, or anyplace, or anywhere,
You know that I'll always be there oh baby.
 
'Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight,
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time.
It's something to last for as long as you live,
Tonight I'm gonna give you, all my heart can give.

It's something to last for as long as you live,
Tonight I'm gonna give you, all my heart can give.
