we had the kind of night when morning comes too soon.
we used the light from a flickering candle across the room,
to make the kind of shadows that only one thing could make...
...love.
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire
That's the way love goes
Come with me don't you worry
I'm gonna make you crazy
I'll give you the time of your life
I'm gonna take you places
You've never been before and
You'll be happy that you came
Oh, I'm gonna take you there
That's the way love goes
Don't mind if I light candles
I like to watch us play and
Baby I've got on what you like
Come closer baby closer
Reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love
Oh sugar, don't you hurry
You've got me here all night
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
Oh baby, don't stop, don't stop
Go deeper baby deeper
You feel so good I'm gonna cry
Oh, I'm gonna take you there
that's the way love goes
my girls
goin' 'round talkin'
they say that you've been
watchin' me boy
i know
by the way you're talkin'
to get to me boy
not anyone i'll just let in my heart
you have to be hungry for me
girls may have been easy
but you have to please me
what makes you think
that i can say this to you
i know how bad you want this
(chorus):
if you want my future then
you better work it boy
no it won't come easy no
i know you want this
by the time i'm through with you
you'll be beggin' me for more
i know
your whole story
because you're fine and
and you know it

that you can have me
just listen closely
no it ain't so easy
every word

girls may have been easy
but you have to please me
one thing i've been told
nothin' else compares
to this lovin' body
(chorus):

by the time i'm through with you

so you want my lovin'

well, come here then
early in the mornin'
late in the evenin'
just about around midnight
'cause you know i'll do you right
baby
what's my name boy
'cause you gotta say my name boy
just a little bit louder now
just a little bit softer now
nice and easy
sittin' over here
starin' in your face
with lust in my eyes
sure don't give a damn and
ya don't know
that i've been dreamin' of ya in
my fantasy
never once you looked at me,
don't even realize that i'm
wantin' you
to fulfill my needs
think what you want
let your mind free
run free to a place that no one
dares to
how many nights i've laid in bed
excited over you
i've closed my eyes and thought
of us
a hundred different ways
i've gotten there so many times
i wonder how 'bout you
day and night, night and day
all i've got to say is
(chorus):
if i was your girl
oh the things i'd do to you
i'd make you call out my name
i'd ask who it belongs to
if i was your woman,
the things i'd do to you
but i'm not, so i can't,
then i won't
but, if i was your girl
allow me some time to play with
your mind
and you'll get there again and
again
close your eyes and imagine my
body undressed
take your time, we've got all night
you on the rise as you're touchin'
my thighs
and let me know what you like
if you like, i'll go down
da down down down da down
down
i'll hold you in my hand and baby
your smooth and shiny feels good
against my lips, sugar
i want you so bad i can taste your
love right now, baby
day and night, night and day
all i've got to say is
(chorus):
if i was your girl
oh, the things i'd do to you
i'd make you call out my name
i'd ask who it belongs to
if i was your woman,
the things i'd do to you
but i'm not, so i can't,
then i won't
but, if i was your girl
(repeat chorus)
CHORUS:
this time i'm not gonna stay
this time i must get away
this time you've gone too far
this time i'm not gonna stay
this time you have got to pay
this time you've gone too far
you runnin' 'round
with those nasty hoes
how long did ya think i could take this
you said to me
that's the way life goes
how long did ya think i could take this
i should have known
aw you weren't for real
but my love for you kept on strong
you betta know
you gonna miss my love
now you know that i'm not still holdin' on
that's right all my of my friends say
CHORUS
you've played the game
but you played yourself
oh boy take a look at who's sorry now
you're not the same
aw, how you have changed
so now look at you
it's a damn shame
i don't care if i
never ever see your face again
you broke my heart one too many times
you think that i'm
i'm not that strong
my bags are packed
watch me walk right through that door
come for me
i can feel your body
pressed against my body
wrap yourself around me
love to feel you throbbin'
throb
throb
throb...
i can feel your body
pressed against my body
when you start to poundin'
love to feel you throbbin'
throb

damn baby... shit... boom boom boom
until noon, noon, noon
what'll i do for satisfaction
honey who'll take care of me now
if you leave i can't make it
darlin' please don't you put me down
'cause what'll i do for satisfaction
if you take away your heart
what'll i do for satisfaction
when that funny funny feelin's gone
oh what'll i do
i can't take no more of missin' you
i don't know just what i'm gonna do
how can i love another
you don't know just what you mean to me
what'll i do for satisfaction
if you take away, away your heart
what'll i do for satisfaction
when my nights start to gettin' long
boy i love you
wanna hold you
your love's strong that's no lie
and i hate, i hate to put it down
but if you, if you leave me now
you won't want, want me hangin' around
'cause what'll i do for satisfaction
if you take away, away your heart
what'll i do for satisfaction
when that funny feelin's gone
oh i need you now
people gather 'round
at the lennox lounge
to hear the funky sounds
the beat hits so hard
there's no cover charge
you have to feel the groove
CHORUS:
one thing is you've got to be real
if you want to hear the
funky big band
he who knows it feels it
got to be real
if you want to hear the
funky big band
we who knows it feel it
harlem is the place
where you'll find the face
of those who feel the groove
it's not taught to thee
but it's born to we
aw and i feel the groove
chuck d.'s intro
it ain't nuthin' but an us thang
and it's time for us to step it up and respect
that level of sisterhood that's been holding up our neighborhood
and if it wasn't for our mothers,
there would be no brothers
and if it wasn't for our sisters,
there would be no misters
so it ain't nuthin' but a us thang
she's strong and that's a fact
now it's time for is to take up the slack
step it up, step it up, time to go to work
history hidden from me
to hide my identity
so i'd never feel
i am somebody
you've gouged my eyes
i see more clearly
you've tried to rob me of my humanity
my spirit you tried to break
my soul you tried to take
there's no need to be afraid
'cause i won't do unto you now
CHORUS:
amen
all that we've been through
our time has come to rejoice
a new agenda's due
amen
it's time to know the truth
our time has come to rejoice
a new agenda's due
because of my gender
i've heard "no" too many times
because of my race
i've heard "no" too many times
but with every "no" i grow in strenght
that is why
african american woman
i stand tall with pride
you want to know what it takes
to rid yourself of me now
there's nothing you can do
accept me for who i am now
CHORUS
chuck's rap
time to step it up, step it up
better check yourself
i get vexed to protect what we got
left her alone
lookin' for your own
here it is i know what i'm sayin'
but the klan ain't playin' at the range
gotta step it up us to discuss a must
it ain't nothin' but an us thing
rewind back to the time
where the color of our mother
had 'em call it a crime
brother what in the world?
and the world says where in the black man
support the woman and children
time to step it up, step it up, it's playoff time
and the rhyme go to check, so check yourself
that's the way love, that's the way love, that's the way love,
that's the way love, that's the way love, that's the way love,
that's the way love goes.
CHORUS:
because of love i know you better
because of love we are together
because of love you have my heart
because of love we'll never part
when i first met you
i knew that my life would never be the same
and i knew that you felt it too
i'll never feel alone again boy
'cause your love makes me feel so secure
you got me singin'...
CHORUS
i don't care what people say
you're the one that brings me so much joy
when i look at your smiling eyes
my heart wants to dance
there's only you on my mind and
i never want to leave your side
it feels right so lets stay together
i'll never feel alone again boy
'cause your love makes me feel so secure
you got me singin'...
CHORUS
it's cause of love we've shared great memories
the way you make me feel (weee oooh)
it's cause of love i feel so high
i don't need nobody else
because of love
because of love
i heard from a friend today and
she
said you were in town
suddenly the memories came back
to me in my mind
(chorus):
how can i be strong i've asked
myself
time and time i've said
that i'll never fall in love with you
again
a wounded heart you gave,
my soul you took away
good intentions you had many,
i know you did
i come from a place that hurts,
god knows how i've cried
and i never want to return
never fall again
making love to you felt so good
and
oh so right
(chorus):
how can i be strong i've asked
myself
time and time i've said
that i'll never fall in love with you
again
so here we are alone again
didn't think i'd come to this
and to know it all began
with just a little kiss
i've come too close to happiness,
to have it swept away
don't think i can take the pain
no never fall again
kinda late in the game
and my heart is in your hands
don't you stand there and then tell
me
you love me
then leave again
'cause i'm falling in love with you
again
hold me, hold me
don't ever let me go
say it just one time
say you love me
god knows i do love you again
love, my love
i regret the day you went away
i was too young to understand my love
but now i realize my mistakes
CHORUS:
where, where are you now
now that i'm ready to
ready to love you the way you loved me then
where are you now
do you still think of me
or does your heart belong to someone else's
love, oh my love
wonder sometimes were you just a dream
i sit in the dark
wondering if our paths
will ever cross again
oh lord i need to know
i sit and wonder
CHORUS
if i close my eyes and make a wish
when they open will you be right here with me
where are you now
do you still think of me
or does your heart belong to someone else's
could it be that two people were meant to be
in my dreams that's what i feel
or could it be that i'll never see you again
my love that was so true
still i'll sit here waiting all alone
by the phone for you
love
sensual physical love
is waiting here for you
when you unleash my desire
CHORUS:
these are the hands that'll touch you
these are the lips that'll kiss you
these are the arms that'll hold you
so come get this body that loves you
oh, how my heart does miss you
love
stroke it when you mmmmmm
when you realse my desire
CHORUS
baby my heart's achin'
my body longs for you
candle light and wine are waiting
create the mood for you
love
sensual physical love
is waiting here for you
when you unleash my desire
CHORUS
as i behold you with my eyes
they'll undress you and
you'll undress me too
i want to feel you move inside
oh how i long for your
love
sensual physical love
is waiting here for you
when you unleash my desire
CHORUS
love
stroke me so gently my love
i love it when you mmmmmm

CHORUS
undress me slowly
these are the hands that'll touch you
i want to kiss you all over, is that okay
these are the arms that'll hold you
hold me, oh baby, my body's arched for you
come get this body that loves you
come here, i've missed you so much
i forgot how good it could feel
oh, how my heart does miss you
please make love to me
come get the body that loves you
in the thunderin' rain
you stare into my eyes
i can feel your hands
moving up my thighs
skirt around my waist
wall against my face
i can feel your lips
BRIDGE:
i don't wanna stop just because
people walkin' by are watchin' us
i don't give a damn what they think
i want you now
i don't wanna stop just because
you feel so good inside of my love
i'm not gonna stop no no no
i want you all i wanna say is
CHORUS:
any time, and any place
i don't care who's around
any time, and any place
i don't care who's around
dancin' on the floor
feelin' the slow groove
my mind is startin' to burn
with forbidden thoughts
strangers all around
with the lights down low
i was thinkin' maybe we could
well...you know...
friday morning and all my work is done,
i've packed my bags, i'm on the run
i got a feeling that i'm gonna have some
