Brian McKnight Album

I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be, yeah
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now, more and more I wonder where you are
[Chorus]
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call
To say
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
(No more) loneliness and heartache
(No more) crying myself to sleep
(Don't want no more) wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me
Come back to me, oh
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
When I look into your eyes
(Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh)
They tell me that you're mine
but I keep asking myself
[Chorus]
Could you forever be
The one for me
This time

[Mase:]
Mase, and Brian McKnight, Bad Boy
C'mon
We don't stop, we rock we rock
Yo
I hit you with the sound that the world can't take
Can't sit out the gig playing 2.8
Real studded jewel funded
Got to love it
First rap cat with the R&B budget
Every day on the TV me and PD
Girl's so pretty, make their man break the CD
Why y'all forever roudy
I be out here somewhere in Maui
Till I go back to Cali
[Brian:]
Can't understand how he can treat you the that way he does
Give me the chance to show you baby, your better off with me
(OOh, so will you let me try
I wanna make you smile)
I wanna love you like you need to be loved
(I'll never let you go
I'll always be around)
And you should be mine
(He don't love you right
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time)
He don't treat you like he should (no baby)
You should be mine
You should be mine, baby
Why can't you see
You should be happy
And I don't know why you don't believe a man can love you for the
rest of your life
(So baby let me try
I wanna make you smile)
I wanna love you like you need to be loved
(I'll never let you down
I'll always be around)
And you should be mine
He don't love you right (Ooh)
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
He don't treat you like he should (now)
Then you should be mine
You should be mine (Ooh ooh)
[Mase:]
Yo!
What the deal honey
Insecure feel funny
I know you're used to dealin' with cats with real money
Plus I know you're like Mase in alot of ways
But it's hard to go on when you're lonely in the holidays
When you shopping did you shop for 2
Uh!
Take you where the waters aqua blue
Let you fall back
Treat you like you're all that
Under umbrellas with your shades and straw hat
You ain't the one out clubbing all day and all night
Just to save a fight
Or say he's right
And I know he ain't the cat that will stay in you life
Even though he gave you ice gown that will make you his wife
How a man deserve you if he hurt you
Then he give a woman 25 a curfew
Between me and you, you ain't heard that from me
Cuz Mase ain't the player with the PhD
[Brian:]
Girl come into my world
I love you the way that you need to be loved
No worries, no more
Girl open the door
And don't waste your time
Cuz you should be mine
He don't love you right (ooh baby)
Don't waste your time (don't waste your time)
He don't treat you like he should (ooh)
You should be mine (should be mine, baby baby)
He don't love you right
Don't waste your time (don't waste your time)
[Repeat and fade out..]

I remember days and nights were never cold
Had you in my life, I had you there to hold
And I remember love warm as a summer day
But I lost you
And I lost my way
Now I'm in the rain
Begging you please, please
Baby, won't you show me the way back to your heart
Let me see a sign to know if I'm close or far
Lead me back to the road
That leads back to your arms
Every night another lonely street
I walk down alone
Searching for a light
Your light to lead me home
Leave a candle in the window
And let it shine for me
Take my hand and take these tears away
I can't take the pain
I'm on my knees begging you please
[Chorus]
Take my hand
Take me in your arms
I'm out in the dark
Down on my knees, begging you please
[Chorus]

uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh,.........
Could it be that I can't stand to be alone
This long distance has us livin' on the phone
Ever since you've been away
I just can't get thru a day
Girl I just can't wait to have you here at home (oh baby)
[Chorus:]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo, oh baby
I, don't want you to go (oh yeah)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go
Sometimes I only get to see you for a day
If thats all I can get then thats what I'll take
Soon I know the day will come
That you and I will be as one
But right now the thing gets so hard to say
[Chorus:]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo (everytime baby)
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo, (we say goodbye baby)
I, don't want you to go (ooh ooh)
uh huh, uh huh, uh huh........
[Chorus:]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo (we say goodbye)
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Hey, hey [simultaneously with chorus]
Shall we make love just one more time
You'll see forever
This is the last and final time
Good bye
Don't want you to go
[Chorus:]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go
[Repeat and fade]

I can't remember
The last time I felt this way
You're keeping a smile on my face
You know exactly how I tick
Every time I light the wick
Seems like you're ready to explode
I want you to know

[1] - You got the bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb
Just keep on blowin' me up
You got the bomb, bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb, blowin' me up

I recall
The first time I kissed your lips
(Think I'm gonna shout about it)
(Baby, there's no doubt about it)
Whenever you want me, girl, I'm there
Whatever the time, girl I don't care
I got no place to go
Baby, I know

[Repeat 1]

Every day and night I pray
You'll never take your love away
You're all that I want, all that I need
You got the bomb
You you got it, you got it, you got it
The bomb
Keep on blowing me up
You got the bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb
You got the bomb, baby
Can I hear you

[Chorus:]
Hold me, Love me
Givin' me all that you've got
Tell me, truly
Can I get in for a spot
For so long I've waited for you to come and love me
Don't waste my time
Cos I need you to let me know if you want me to
Do the things to you that no other can do
(I want you to love)
I want you bad
And I won't lie
And I can't deny
That I want you tonight
[Chorus:]
Hold me, Love me
Givin' me all that you've got
Tell me, truly
Can I get in for a spot
I wonder what is it that turns me on when I'm next to you
Can't figure out why I want you
Is it lust or love
Either one will do
I want you for myself and nobody else
(Take the place of you)
Right now
Cos it is on
So unplug the phone
Cos I want you to hold me
[Chorus:]
Hold me, Love me
Givin' me all that you've got
Tell me, truly
Can I get in for a spot
(Can I get into your spot baby) [x2]
Oh baby, you drive me crazy
Put your arms around me baby
And hold me now
Thats what I wanna do (thats what I wanna do)
Right now baby
I want you to hold me
[Chorus:]
Hold me, Love me
Givin' me all that you've got
Tell me, truly
Can I get in for a spot [x2]

You say you've seen too many things,
that turn out to be too good to be true.
Against your better judgment, opened up your heart,
'til you found the joke was on you.
Looking out on the rest of our lives,
If we're gonna be together or apart
About the only way I know how to come,
is right straight from my heart.
I want you now,
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around,
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me.
Say you'll never fall again
You won't subject yourself to such pain
If you give me half a chance I will
Never leave you standing out in the rain
But if you think that I could look you in your face and lie right
through my teeth
then turn around and walk away
Cross my heart, girl I care for you and when I look into your eyes i
must say...
I need you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
cause you're the only one for me

I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
cause you're the only one for me

I remember the way you used to
Touch me all time
I told you how I was
The luckiest man alive
And now I hear you showin' off
Your new boy, frontin'
Like everything's all right
I'll be damned if I let you know
That I still
Find it hard to sleep at night

[1] - Outside I'm smiling
Inside I'm crying
I just keep denying
Till I get over you

[Repeat 1]

Endless times I stayed up
All night, waiting for you to call
Lying to myself
'Cause, you aren't thinking 'bout me at all
My eyes are holding back the tears
My pride won't let you see me act a fool
Cuz I'll be damned if I let you know
That I still feel something for you

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1]

Can't forget the way we touched
(Every day, every night, baby)
And the way we used to make love
(I still remember how it feels)
Baby, but now it's over and you're gone
(I've got to say goodbye)
Because I know, I can't go on without you

[Repeat 1 until fade]

I want you for myself
I don't wanna have to share you with nobody else
I want you, baby
Come to me
Let me give you all the lovin' that you need
I wanna touch your body
Feel your arms around me
I wanna be your fantasy, your dream come true
I wanna need your loving'
Make you my only woman
I wanna love you, love you, love you, baby
I belong to you

[1] - Until I feel your heartbeat pounding next to mine
I've got work to do
'Til every single star up in the sky
Knows that I belong to you

I want you satisfied
Anything your heart desires
Let my love provide
I want you baby
Only you and I swear
I'm gonna make you want me too

[2] - I'm gonna touch your body
Wrap your arms around me
I'm gonna be your fantasy
Your dreams come true
I'm gonna taste your lovin'
Make you my only woman
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you
Baby, I belong to you

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 2]

[Repeat 1]

One more time

[Repeat 1]

[1] - Baby don't stop, let your body rock
While you listen to my jam knock
We can party all night
If you don't stop, let your body rock
While you listen to my jam knock

Friday night, after 8, smiling' face, just got paid
You know how it feels
Gotta find the party, paint the town
Pick a hootie, go get down
Then come with the real, yeah, yeah

[2] - In and out, scream and shout
This is what it's all about
Baby girl, you're the one I came to see, yeah
On the floor, more and more
Show me what you came here for, baby
Babe, come closer to me

[Repeat 1]

Let's groove tonight

Don' t wanna think about tomorrow
Whatever comes what may
It's you and I here and now
Mr. DJ let the music play
Everybody's singing, everybody's swinging

[Repeat 2]

[Repeat 1]

Let's groove tonight

[Repeat 1]

[3] - Don't stop tonight, relax your mind
And my jam will knock 'till the morning light
If it's feelin' right then take your time
And my jam will knock
I'm on this

[Repeat 1]

Let's groove tonight

Now throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
All the honies in the house tonight
Let me hear you say oh, yeah

If you don't stop, let your body rock
While you listen to my jam knock

[Repeat 3]

Let's groove tonight

[Repeat 1 until fade]

Hey ho, hey ho [repeat throughout song]
Oh, oh, gidyup

All of these flowers
For this friend of ours, it's such a shame
All of these people
All of them equally feel the same
There's silence and weeping
Looks like he's sleeping, the children say
They say he was ready, I hope he was ready
Is the prayer I'm praying

When Gabriel begins to blow
Victory shall be mine
When the horses get ready to go
Angels won't leave me behind

[1] - I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes
(When the chariot, when the chariot comes)
I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes

(Giddyup)
Over the prairie
The pallbearers carry and lay him to rest
Satan's a cheater, Christ is the teacher
And life's the test

Oh Lord, take me higher
Never liked fire, I can't stay here
I gotta get ready, gotta get ready
Time has drawn near
When Gabriel begins to blow
Victory shall be mine
When the horses get ready to go
The angels won't leave me behind

[Repeat 1]

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray my soul you keep
If I die before I wake
I pray my soul you'll take
'Cause I gotta be, gotta be ready, when Jesus comes
When that chariot comes
Got to be , got to be ready, when the chariot comes

Said I've got to be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes

[Repeat until fade]
