Anita Baker - Soul Inspiration Lyrics

Anita Baker - Soul Inspiration Video

If I lost you now

It would take my heart from me

I can't imagine life without you

The love of you, baby

 

Latley I confess

I've been short on tenderness

Too much time on work, I guess

Not enough on you

 

Now if I fogot to tell you I love you

I really got no excuse, no excuse

 

Because You're beautiful, my one desire

You're my soul's inspiration

And if I didn't say it, well I do now

You're my sweet inspiration-baby, baby

 

If I'm feelin' low

I've only got myself to blame

'Cause I can always share the load

When I'm near you-uh, huh

 

You can rescue me, baby

You bring out the best in me

I'm the girl I want to be

When I'm near you, huh

 

I may need reminding to say I love you

But heaven knows that I do, yes I do

 

Because you're beautiful, my one desire

You're a sweet sensation

And if I didn't say it, well I do now

You're my soul's inspiration

 

From the day I met you, baby

Yes, I knew insitinctively

Whatever our future

Together we were gonna be, baby

 

Huh, my baby

Nothin, nogthin's sweeter to me than

You, baby

You, baby

Yes sir I love you, baby

 

Hey-now I love you

Baby

Hey, ahh yahh

Ad lib

Anita Baker - Been So Long Lyrics

Anita Baker - Been So Long Video

I won't be neglected

I won't be denied

The pleasure of your kisses

The pleasure of your smile

 

I think you take for granted

I'll always be here

Just because I love you

It doesn't mean I won't disappear

 

CHORUS

Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

 

Thoughts and mellow memories

Of once upon a time

Slowly creepin' on me

And they linger on my mind

 

Just let somebody love you

I just don't know why

Whenever I get close to you

You want to run and hide

 

CHORUS

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

 

We began lovers' dance

The road was smooth to romance

And we sang love sweet song every day

 

I believe that love would stay in my heart

Now it's torn all apart

It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say

I don't believe that you could do me this way

 

Now don't you understand

I'm in need of comfort

The comfort of your hand in mine

And what I feel inside

Why don't you come closer

I can't hide

 

Been so long

Been so long . . . can't hide

Been so long

Been so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, baby

Been so long . . . won't you come home, see about me

See about me

 

Been so long

Anita Baker - Like You Used To Do Lyrics

Anita Baker - Like You Used To Do Video

I can smell the scent of fresh cut grass

You know it kind of took me back

To yesterday when we was young, oh so young

I remember we were so scared

To even hold each other's hands

But still we fell so deep in love

When did it start to rain

How did things get so strange

When did it go astray

 

Chorus:

'Cause you don't love or want me

Sometimes I think that you don't know me

I just ned for you to show me

Oh like you used to do

Like you used to do

You were my Weezy, you were my Boo

You was my Thelma, damn I was into you

Why can't it be that way again baby

You were my Marvin, my Billy Dee

Oh baby my, my, my sweet melody

Why can't you play that music today

I wanna play baby

When did it start to rain

How did things get so strange

When did it go astray

Girl you don't want me, need me

Girl you don't even try to please me

I would if you would squeeze me

Like you used to do

Like you used to do

You don't hear me, you don't feel me

Sometimes I think you don't even see me

Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah

Like you used to do

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Tell me when did it start to rain

How did things get so strange baby

When did it go astray

I wanna know when did it start to rain

How did things get so strange baby

I wanna know, I wanna know

 

Chorus:

Well you don't hear me, you don't feel me

Sometimes I think that you don't see me

Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Anita Baker - Sometimes I Wonder Why Lyrics

Anita Baker - Sometimes I Wonder Why Video

Sometimes I wonder why

I go on loving you this way

When I'm not sure that you are sure

That you will stay

 

Sometimes I wonder why

I go on hurting like I do

I guess this heart ain't very smart

It wants no one but you

 

But when I lay in your arms

Child this isn't pretending

This is a real fairy tale

With a happy ending

 

This tightrope that I walk

A tightrope without a net below

And if I fall, child I just fall

I want no one but you

 

But when I lay in your arms

Child this isn't pretending

This is a real fairy tale

With a happy ending

 

Darling this tightrope that I walk

A tightrope without a net below

And if I fall, child I just fall

Because I know

I know

I'll love you till I die

Sometimes I wonder why

Anita Baker - Just Because Lyrics

Anita Baker - Just Because Video

When I think about how much I'm loving you,

No limitations, no set of regimented rules...

I'm amazed how much this love has touched my life,

And the commitment that we share is a welcome sacrifice...

 

This must be sweet fatal attraction, my life-long date with destiny;

Love this strong, it just brings out the passion I never knew was here in me...

 

I love you just because, (I love you) just because,

Just because I do my darlin', you...

Emotions more than words can help me say;

I love you, (and I love you, and I love you) baby, just because you're you... (Just because you're you...)

Just because you're you...

 

You're a diamond in my mind, a treasure found;

A precious gem to me, you're so nice to have around...

I'm so glad I took the path that led to this,

And it's amazin' loving you, I'm doin' things I never thought I'd do...

 

I don't know, there ain't no explanation of why I'm sharin' love at last this way;

I won't try to work out all my reasons I'II use these words to simply say...

 

I love you just because, (I love you) just because,

Just because I do my darlin', you...

Emotions more than words can help me say;

I love you, (and I love you, and I love you) my baby...

 

I love you just because, (I love you) just because,

Just because I do darlin', you...

Emotions more than words can help me say;

I love you... (And I love you, and I love you...) You know I do, baby...

 

Could it be that there's more to this that meets the eye? Maybe that's the reason why;

All I know is when I'm in your arms, it feels all right I hold on tight, and I come alive...

 

(I love you) just because, (I love you...)

Surely do my darlin'...

Emotions more than words can help me say;

I love you... (And I love you, and I love you...) Hey, a-hey-hey, a-hey, hey...

 

(I love you) just because, (I love you...)

Just because I do oh, yeah... (Darlin'...)

I, I couldn't take it back if I wanted to;

I just love you... (And I love you, and I love you...) Hey, hey, I just love you baby

 

(I love you) just because, (I love you...)

Ain't nothin' I can do... (Darlin'...)

Nothin' I can do about it, nothin' I can do about it;

I just love you... (And I love you, and I love you...) I just love you, I just love you...

 

(I love you) just because, (I love you...)

Couldn't take it back if I wanted to... (Darlin'...)

That's just the way it is, baby... That's just the way it is, baby...

(And I love you, and I love you...) Oh, hey, don't I love you...

 

(I love you) just because, (I love you...)

Anita Baker - Whatever It Takes Lyrics

Anita Baker - Whatever It Takes Video

I've always told you

I'd give you anything

My baby you've been my best,

My only friend

There's nothing like the joy you bring

 

I wonder what would happen

If you would trust in me

I'd make you believe, I'd make you see

No need to run from me

 

I'd make you feel like never before

Here I stand, heart in hand, help me find

The door

Anybody can see baby, you've been

Hurt before

Let me heal all your pain, won't ever hurt

No more

 

Whatever it takes to make you happy, baby

Whatever it takes to make you smile

Whatever it takes to make you feel good, baby

I'll be around

 

One moment spent near you

Rules all my pain

Your miracle soothes me

Your hurricane moves me

I cannot explain

 

Burdens get heavy

Become too much to bear

Honey, don't you say nothing

Hold on, I'm coming

I want you to know that I'll be there

 

I'll make you feel like never before

Willing and able, baby, open up the door

Anybody can see, baby, you've been

Hurt before

 

Let me heal all your pain

Never let you hurt anymore

Oh, ahh, ahh, hmmm

My, my, my, my, my

Hmmmm

Anita Baker - Good Love Lyrics

Anita Baker - Good Love Video

Ah, many days it goes unspoken

But this desire never seems to go away

It's gonna take much more than hope to bring

You close

I think I'll pray

 

I hear you say you've got got a lot to give up

And there is so much more this heart of mine

Can take

If what you have to bring to me is positive you send

It right away

Right away

 

Chorus 1

 

I want to know what good love feels like

Good love, good love

I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time

I want to know what good love feels like

Good love, good love

Morning, noon and night, forever all mylife

Good love, good love

Good love, good love

 

There is a void that stands between us

And it seems it's getting harder to relate

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine

Life this way

 

Repeat Chorus 1

 

Chorus 2

 

I want to know what good love feels like

Good love, good love

I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time

I want to know what good love feels like

Good love, good love

Hear me when I say, bring it to me baby

 

Babe, you're the man I hear you say you are

I don't quite understand why loving me

Is so hard

Never have I felt the need to be this close

Words cannnot say, heaven only knows

 

Repeat Chorus 1 and fade

Anita Baker - Fairy Tales Lyrics

Anita Baker - Fairy Tales Video

I can remember stories, those things my mother said

She told me fairy tales, before I went to bed

She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in real tight

She turned my night light on, and kissed my face good night

My mind would fill with visions, of perfect paradise

She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice

He'd ride up on his horse and, take me away one night

I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight

She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie

She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye

 

The story ends, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise of fairy tales uh

No, uh huh mmm mmm

 

She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this

She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince

She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas

I'd understand the story, it would be good for me

You never came to save me, you let me stand alone

Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold

 

My story end, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise no fairy tales yes

 

I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby

Need reality, now, said I

Don't feel the need to be pacified, don't cha try

Honey, I know you lied

 

You never came to save me, you let me stand alone

Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold

I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly

I found the poison apple, my destiny to die

No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin

My fantasy is over, my life must now begin

 

My story end, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise no fairy tales eh,

Hey, hey eee mmm, mmm

Lord have mercy ooo

Ooo mmm oh Lord

Hmm...

 

What have you done to me

I can't eat, I cannot sleep

And I'm not the same anymore, no, no

I don't know what to do

'Cause all of me wants all of you
