Brian McKnight Album

Oh, I want to be yours.......

Heart of mine, I'm sure you'll agree
We've never been in love before, honestly
I think she's the one
The lady for me
I know she feels the same way sincerly
Girl you're the on my mind always
Come feel my nights and my days
You make me so crazy
Darlin' you know I wanna

Chorus:
I want to be yours
I long to be forever yours
I want to be yours
I want to be yours

Every night I go to sleep
I wantcha layin' next to me-truthfully
I need ya by my side
To take care of me, I'm on my hands and knees girl
Come on
And show me the way to your heart
Don't make me wait forever
Now that you know I wanna

Chorus 2x

Bridge:
Oh yeah I'll be right there
Whenever you call me
I'll be there...just call and I'll come running

I remember how you used to wait by the phone
Counting every minute that I was gone
And you used to call me sweet things in the morning light
After you would hug me so tender
Each and every night
Lately you got so much to do
And your never at home
By the time I get to see you
You need your time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you
But I need to know

Chorus:
Is this the way love goes
Say it isn't so
Is this the way love goes
Right before my eyes
Wearing a disguise
I need to know
Is this the way love goes

Staring at a photograph of you and I inframed
When I blink my eyes you start to fade away
Oh, i recall that day in fall and all the things you said
All of the promises that you never kept
Lately you got so much to do
And you're never at home
When I finally get to see you
You need you're time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you
But I need to know

Chorus

Bridge:
Everybody needs to a love they can count on
I'm the kind of man who needs to know exactly where I stand

Vamp:
Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering
How we can make it right
Never gonna say goodbye
I'm crying
Find a way to make it right

There never was a fool like a fool in love
I oughtta know
But I can tell you one thing this fool's had enough
And it shows

When we were making love
I wonder who you were thinking of
Was it you and me, or you and he
I gave my all to you and you walked all over me
Girl, can't you see

Chorus:
I don't want to cry for love again
No more do or die for love again
I don't want to lie for love again
The only way to mend this broken heart
Is for me to say goodbye my love
Goodbye my love

There never was a moment I didn't need your love
I loved you so baby
Far too many lonely nights, it hurt so much
Girl just go

When we were making love
I wonder who you were thinking of
Was it you and me, or you and he
I gave my all to you and you walked all over me
Girl can't you see

Chorus 2x

(I'm goin' on)Goin' on with my life
Wipe my tears away, I don't wanna cry
No more do or die, sorry I have to say
(I'm goin' on)Gotta go on with my life
Wipe my tears away, I don't wanna cry
No more do or die, sorry I have to say

Every night I lie awake
Wishin' I could love you with all my heart can take
Tell me my love this time, do you want me to stay
You say you're in need of a little love
And baby it's me you're thinking of
And nothing in this world could keep me away
Darlin finally, I've waited so long for you to come to me
Darlin' with each passing day, there's nothing left to say
But I'm so glad we waited, it was worth the wait so

Chorus:
Love me, hold me
Don't hesitate, let's celebrate
Our love together
Love me, hold me
Don't hesitate, let's celebrate
Our love together
Let's make it last forever, for always

Can I open the shades, you ask me why
So we can have the moon and the stars as our only light
Cherish the moment, let's take our time
Passion flies across the room
The sweet aroma of true love in bloom
Softly I whisper, "Forever be mine"
Oh now I see, you're everything I dreamed of
Now it's reality
Oh love's so rare, now it's ours to share
It's me for only you and only you for me so

Chorus

I've been waiting to hear you say
You'd be mine for always
What would I do
Do without you
Know that it's true
I'm all about you darlin' oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh, ahh, ooh, hey hey

[verse]
I thought that love would conquer all
But nothing could break my fall
The moment you left my sid
And now there's nothing left to say
Since you took you love away
I been yearning for you deep inside

[b sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on
Can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over
'Cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[verse]
If I on;y had a clue
That I'd end up losing you
I might of held on to my heart
Taking for granted you'd be mine
'Til the end of time
Has torn my world apart

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
(where you belong)
When I think, think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[musical interlude]

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong (where you belong)
When I think of all the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the the love you thought was yours, mine and yours
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[end section]

(And after the love)
After the love is gone
Life must go on
[repeat 5 times w/ad lib]
After the love is gone

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry.....

I was here
You were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I goota put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...

There will never come a day
you'll ever hear me say
that I want and need to be without you.
I want to give my all.
Baby, just hold me.
Simply control me.
'Cuz your arms, they keep away the lonelies.
[chorus]
When I look into your eyes
then I relize
that all I need is you in my life.
All I need is you in my life.
'Cuz I've never felt this way about lovin'.
Never felt so good.
Never felt this way about lovin'
It feels so good.
How it takes my breath,
starts a pounding in my chest,
makes me weak, when I think about you.
Makes me wanna give my all,
Life wouldn't mean a thing.
Not a happy song to sing,
just emptiness if I had to live without you.
[repeat chorus]
'Cuz I've never felt this way about lovin', darlin'
Never felt so good.
Never felt this way about lovin'
It feels so good. woo!

Baby I saw you standing all alone
In the moonlight, wishing as I may
And I might have just one night with you, pretty mama
Showdown, not ready but willing
To slow down, cause I want to please you
I'll be around, after the lovin' is through

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

Chorus:
I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be makin' a big mistake

Don't get me wrong, cause I want you
More than you know, but let me get to know you
Make my heart show what my feelings show
Then I'll closer to you
But I'm just so helpless against your touch
I'm defenseless, you're making me weak
But I've got to be strong
If right by you, I'm gonna do

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

Chorus

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
(I wanna do right by you baby)
It's too big a move to make
We'd be makin' a big mistake

Chorus

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take

I want you so

Try to say how I feel when I'm
Holding you close to me
But my temperature rises so I can hardly believe
That finally you came to me
We made loneliness our enemy
Don't go, don't you know

Chorus:
Feels so right, and I can hold you longer
If you stay the night, oh
The time is right
And we will grow much stronger
If you stay the night

Tonight pretty baby

Stay........the night

Words cannot express to you
How I'm burning up deep inside
I took one look and I knew
This was a feeling I couldn't fight
But now that you're here with me
Now that you're here with me, hey
Let's make togetherness our destiny
Don't go

Chorus
Tonight with me baby

At the start I thought it was too good
To be true, but know I know that all along
It should have been me and you

At the start I thought it was too good
To be true, but know I know that all along
It should have been me and you

Chorus

Is the feeling gone, my love
Is it not as strong to you and I
Are we still in love
Has the fire died my sweet
Don't I sweep you off your feet anymore
Tell me if I'm right
This is killing me baby
It makes me wanna cry
The message you're sending me, baby
Tears me up inside, tell me where
Where are all the butterflies
Do they no longer move inside
Of you, my love
Are they dead and gone
Have they flown away, my sweet
Or am I buried somewhere deep
inside of you, my love
Tell me where I am
If I've done something wrong, lady
What's the nature of my crime
Don't keep me hanging on, baby
This is the place and time

[jazz interlude]

Is the feeling gone, my love
Where did all this doubt come from
In me, my love
Have we grown apart
Is it cold right here in my arms
Or have you found another's heart
To keep you warm
Is the feeling gone, my love
Is the feeling gone
Tell me if I'm wrong

I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop where do you dare me to draw the line
Use the body now you want my soul
Oo, forget about it no say no go

Chorus:
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah
But I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go on for just repeating the same old line
Use the body now you want my soul
Oo, forget about it now say no go

Chorus 2x

Rap:
Jump into you're Eldy just like a swimming pool
Head first to quench for thirst but ended up the fool
Stay cool I wish that I could
But I can't so I shan't
Keep giving it all that I got to give
And that's a hell of a lot of a plan
Why can't you see that I'm the man
Our love coulda been great
But a mistake is what you made
My cuisine you're dissin the plate
Never the giver just the taker
Take a listen to the the fact, in fact
Can't go for that

Can you hear me
I'm calling your name oh Lord
I can't go on this way
Will I make it another day

Oh Lord, was I made just to beg and crawl
Who will catch me whenever I fall
Does it really matter at all
I've been waiting here for you
To answer my call

Can you see me
I'm down on my knees oh Lord
I'm lost and I'm so all alone
Does your world have a heart of stone

Oh Lord, was i destined to be what I've been
Never a thick and a barely a thin
Where do I fit in
I've been waiting her for you to answer my call

You say it won't be long
But I got to keep holding on
To this world just so cold
So cold, so cold, so cold
Oh Lord, am I destined to be what I've been

I have been so far away
Counting the times until today
So long I have wanted a chance
When I could spend some time with you
Just with you

You are growing so very fast
And I know I'm always the very last
To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down

But when I'm gone
I need you here to carry on
My son, I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame, you're my claim
That's why you've got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so
And there will come a day
When all that's mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours, I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh Lord, this is my prayer
