I AIN'T BEEN LICKED

 

 

I AM ME
 
Don't give me circles to find the ending.  ring holds around to my beginning. so many winners of my identity, I know the answer of who I'm supposed to be.
(verse)  I am me.  Good or bad, I am myself.  I'm no carbon copy of no one else right or wrong, I will stand up like a tree, happy or sad, good or bad, I am me.  I am me
.  My lovely amour said by some other I would lose myself find me from another good or bad and come to my ruin or it might succeed.  It will be, be my doin'
(verse)
Different images, so many people see.  Not knowing themselves.  They are unique to copy may be flattering to understand.  I can be a better me than any one can.
(verse)
I am me.

 

 

 

I HEAR (THE VOICE OF LOVE) 
 
What is this I hear, falling softly in my ears.  Quietly, telling me to wipe away my tears.  Yesterdays are gone and love has cleared the way.  No matter who you are you can touch the stars.
(verse) Life's interactions can make you smile, just listen to the voice in your heart.  The voice is near you, it's never too far.  The voice is with you, wherever you are.  It's closer than close, calling to your heart...I hear the voice of love.  I hear the voice of love.
 The voice will never leave you.  It lives deep down inside.  It's calling you, asking you to open up your heart.  All things are acheivable, nothing is impossible.  You can reach your highest height.  You can make it if you try
(verse)
Follow where it leads you in the dark.  The voice will guide your heart.  The voice is always near.  I hear the voice of love.  I found the voice from the mountains to the sea, the voice of love is calling me...wherever you are.  The voice is near you, it's never too far.  The voice is with you wherever you are.  I hear the voice of love
(verse 3 times)

 

 

 

I NEVER LOVED A MAN BEFORE  

 

 

I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME (BUT TODAY I FELL IN LOVE) 
 
**Am I really hard to please?  Perhaps I have such special needs.  I wondered what was wrong with me, my friends all fall so easily.
 ***But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know...did I make myself imagine that he could love me so.  Cause the feeling was so unexpected, I could hardly keep myself collected.  
*I thought it took a little time to learn about loving, never did believe in love at first sight.  I thought it took time to learn about loving, all I know is now it's gotta be right.
In the midst of conversation, he looked into my eyes, and all though the conversation, much to my own surprise, half the words he said to me were missing, as my mind was so intent on kissing
(*repeat)
(**repeat)
(***repeat)
And the feeling was so deep inside me, I could feel him when he brushed beside me
(*repeat and fade)

 

 

 

 I WILL SURVIVE

 

 

I'M COMING OUT  
(verse) I'm Coming Out 
I'm coming out, I'm coming
 I'm coming out 
I'm coming out 
I'm coming out, 
I want the world to know Got to let it show I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show
There's a new me coming out and I just have to liveAnd I just want to give, I'm completely positive. I think this time around I am gonna do it, Like you never knew it, oh I'll make it through. The time has come for me to break out of the shell I have to show that...
I am coming out. I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show
I want to show the world all that I want to be All my abilities, there's so much more to me Somehow I'll have to make them just understand I got it well in hand and oh how I have planned I'm spreading love there is no need to fear And I just feel so good everytime I hear
I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show Instrumental I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show I'm coming out, I want the world to know Got to let it show
(Verse)

 

 

 

I'M STILL WAITING  
 
I remember when I was five and you were ten, boy.  You knew tht I was shy so you teased and made me cry; but I love you.  Then one day you came, you told me you were leaving.  You gave your folks the blame and made me cry again...
*When you said, "Little girl, please don't wait for me.  Wait patiently for love, someday it will surely come, ooh, little girl, please don't wait for me, wait patiently for love, someday it will surely come."  And I'm still waiting, ooh.  I'm waiting, oh, still waiting. (I'm just a fool) Oh, I'm a fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) for you, ooh and I'm waiting.  I'm still waiting, for love, for you.  
Then someone finally came, he told me tht he loved me.  I put him off my mind, he could see I had no eyes.  So he left me, once again alone, like a child without her playmate.  I had to face the truth, I was still in love with you.
(*repeat)
(spoken) Love has never shown it's face, since the day you walked out that door.  You filled my life with empty space, come back, can't you see it's you I'm waiting for?
(I'm just a fool) oh a fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) For love, for you (I'm just a fool) I miss you (I'm just a fool) Oh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool) Come on back, boy, (I'm just a fool) Wait patiently...

 

 

 

IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER  
 
Don't lose your way, with each passing day.  You've come so far, don't throw it away.  Live believing, dreams are for weaving.  Wonders are waiting to start.  Live your story, faith, hope and glory.  Hold to the truth in your heart.
If we hold on together, I know our dreams will never die.  Dreams see us through to forever, where clouds roll by, for you and I.
Souls in the wind, must learn how to bend.  Seek out a star, hold on to the end.  Valley, mountain, there is a fountain...washes our tears all away.  words are swaying, somebody's praying, "Please let us come home to stay" 
(chorus)
When we are out there in the dark, we'll dream about the sun.  In the dark we'll feel the light, warm our hearts...every one.  If we hold on together, I know our dreams will never die.  Dreams see us through to forever as high as souls can fly, the clouds roll by, for you and I.

 

 

 

IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA LOVE ME RIGHT  

 

 

 

 

IMAGINE
Imagine there's o heaven, it's easy if you try, No hell below us, above us only sky.  Imagine all the people, living for today...
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for...and no religion too
Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
*You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.  No need for greed or hunger.  A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world
(*repeat)

 

 

 

IN THE ONES YOU LOVE   

From your lips, to God's ear..may every wish and every prayer find it's way always be heard...and everyday...may you see them answered...
In the ones you love..In the ones who love you..Your heart's reflections come shining through...Brighter than the sun....Stronger than you knew...In the ones you love...In the ones who love you.
With each tear, with each smile may your whole life dear, learning all the while.  what can't be changed try to accept.  And though you make mistakes, may you find forgiveness.
(chorus)
And in the ones you love, find shelter and have faith.  And through wathever comes rejoice and celebrate
 (chorus - twice)

 

 

 

IT'S MY HOUSE

 

 

IT'S MY TURN
 
I can't cover up my feelings in the name of love, Or play it safe, for a while that was easy.And if living for myself is what I'm guilty of go on and sentence me I'll still be free.
It's my turn to see what I can see I hope you'll understand this time's just for me, because it's my turn with no apologies I've given up the truth to those I've tried to please, but now
It's my turn if I don't have all the answers...at least I know I'll take my share of chances.  Ain't no use in holdin' on when nothing stays the same.  So I'll let it rain 'coz the rain ain't gonna hurt me.  And I'll let you go, though I know it won't be easy..
It's my turn with no more room for lies, for years I've seen my life through someone else's eyes...and now it's my turn to try and find my way, and if I should get lost at least I owned today.
It's my turn  Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holdin' on when nothing stays the same.  So I'll let it rain 'coz the rain ain't gonna hurt me.  And I'll let you go though I know it won't be easy.  It's my turn to see what I can see, I hope you'll understand this time's just for me...because it's my turn to turn and say goodbye, ... I sure would like to know that you're still on my side...
Because it's my turn... It's my turn ...It's my turn.... to start from number one.   Trying to undo some damage that's been done.  But now it's my turn to reach and touch the stars...No one's gonna say, at least, I didn't try
It's my turn Yes, it's my turn It's my turn It's my turn It's my turn It's my turn.

LAST TIME I SAW HIM  
 
Last time I saw him, he sweetly kissed my lips.  Last time I saw him, he said "I'll be back for more of this"  Last time I saw him, we were crying at the bus.  I knew he hated leavin' but he had to set us up.  I gave him money, I know I invested well.  Momma doesn't trust him, but he loves me I can tell.  Each day the Greyhound arrives at nine o'clock.  But I don't stop my cryin' till that last man's gotten off.
  Last time I saw him, the last time I saw my honey...last time I saw him, he was Greyhound bound.  But I'm still waitin' here, without a fear that bus will someday turn around.
I had no letter.  It's been six months maybe better.  I try forgetting him, but I love him more than ever.  I have decided I've waited long enough.  If there was nothing wrong he would return right on that bus.  There must be trouble, so I'm leaving on the double.  If he can't get to me I know he needs me desperately.
Last time I saw him...last time I saw my honey.  The last time I saw him, he was lookin' fine and as he waved goodbye he said, "don't cry honey, I'm comin' back rain or shine' Hey!

 

 

LET'S GO UP
 
Comin' back on Comin' back strong, Turnin' back on.  Takin' the heat out in the street, Baby too long.  Can you tell me how much fire will it take to get us higher.  Hearin' the news, singin' the blues, You gotta choose.  Stand up and fight, do it tonight, what can you lose?  In a world of fading teasure, love is the greatest pleasure.
So Let's go up, forget about down.  'Cause in this town, it's gonna get rough.  And goes down, is up to us.  So let's go up, baby let's go up.
When it gets hot, like it or not, you want to run.  Though it's so warm here in my arms.  You won't get burned.  In a world of fading teasures.  The pleasure of your treasures can not be measure up.
(chorus)
Ooh I can't free a person from their chains, but I'll tell you this for sure.  If nothing is ventured, then nothing is gained, let's go
 (chorus)

 

 

LET SOMEBODY KNOW  

 

LOVE HANGOVER
 
If there's a cure for this, I don't want it, I don't want it.  If there's a remedy, I'll run from it, from it.  I think about it all the time.  Thinking only makes me smile 'Cause I love you.  I've got the sweetest hangover.  I don't want to get over.  Sweetest hangover, yeah I don't want to get over  I don't wanna get, I don't wanna get...over.
 Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love.  Love hangover.  Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, love.  I don't need no cure, I don't need no cure, I don't need no cure.  I don't want it.  I don't.  Love hangover.  Don't call the doctor.  Don't call my mama.  Don't call no preacher.  No, I don't need it.  Don't want it.  Sweet Love Hangover.  Ooo Yeah.  

 

 

LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS
 
Sometimes we make each other cry.  Sometimes we're locked inside the prison of our pride.  Sometimes we break each other's heart witht he words we say...let anger get in the way...too many times.
(Verse) But always after all, ooh, Love is all that matters.  After everything, one thing remains the same, one thing we cannot change, ohh, we all have one heart, and one heart needs another.  Love, love is all that matters.  Love is all that matters...it matters after all.
Uhh, Sometimes we search this world for gold.  When all we really need is just a hand to hold (to hold).  Sometimes we let the greatest treasure just slip away, with words we forget to say...too many times.
(Verse)
Afte all that we've been through, it comes down to one simple truth...You need me, I need you 'cause love is all that matters.  Love is all that matters.  It matters after all (oh).  Love is all that matters....it's the only thing that matters.  It matters after all...oh....Love is all that matters.

 

 

LOVE ME

 

LOVE OR LONELINESS  
 
Had a nice time.  I enjoyed the picture show.  When you walked me to my door I knew I wanted more.  When I asked you in, it was already getting late.  Though I knew better, I didn't even hesitate.  I like the way you hold me and make me feel so good.  Though I say I wouldn't, you kinda knew that I would.  It's been so long since I've been with a man better ask myself, while I still can.
Is this love or is it just loneliness.  When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret.  Is this slove or is it just loneliness.  We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it.
And how about you?  Do you really want me or am I just here to please your masculinity.  You don't see me enough to let me know you care you know the worst thing for a woman is a sometime love affair.  Seems like every time I satisfy your needs...you don't call me back for two or three weeks.  O--Oh--Oh---  What am I gonna do?  I just can't fight the tempatation of loving you 
(chorus)
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference I'm just not sure if it's worth it
(chorus)
'Cause you never show up 'til midnight...then you go home early, now you know that ain't right.  I've got a question I wanna ask you...Do you really love me or am I just a fool?
(chorus)

 

 

LOVE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT
 
I knew from the first time I saw you, I wanted you for myself.  You feel the same though it's got to be wrong, we each belong to somebody else.  Once it was vague desidre.  Now it's a raging fire.  Those things that people are saying can't keep our love on the shelf.  How long can we talk about it, what good is life without it?
   Love will make it right.  Love will make it right.  Love will choose the night.  Love will make it right.
Four friends are driving on Sunday, our smiles a useless disguise.  By now they know what's inside our hearts, my sweet, it shows in your eyes.  Though all the foolish laughter, they know just what we're after.  How long can we keep on living, this life of unspoken lies?  Some will be touched with sadness.  But how can we stop the madness?  Love will make it right.
(Chorus)
Love will make it right, love will choose the night, love will make it right.
