Chaka Khan Album

(Stevie Wonder, Syreeta Wright, Lula Mae Hardaway, Lee Garrett)

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if you love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean

Seen lot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing for this girl
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

[Chorus:]
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean

Oh baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

(Brenda Russell)

Some girls need emotion
Some girls just want some fun
Some look for devotion
Some just wanna run
Some crave for affection
Burnin' up inside
Some need the direction
For the world outside

You can dance the dance 'til the mornin' comes
But I'll tell you where I'm comin' from

[Chorus:]
I wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'

It's the heart of the matter
It's the root of the cause
It's the still of the moment
It's that heavenly pause
Well I don't need a savior
And I don't need a slave
I just want to hear you
Through that magnetic wave

What I need is a link to the inner mind
If you want to know my bottom line

(Cecil Womack and Linda Womack)

Everybody's having a real good time
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'

[Chorus:]
It's my party, I'll start it, I'll end it
Baby, it's my party, I'm upset and offended

While I'm all alone, and the party's goin' strong
It's a celebration, to better our relation
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Kit got lost, and I found him all involved
He was wearing a guilty face
He had his arms around her waist
And lipstick on his face

[Chorus]

Everybody's having a real good time
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'

Say you had too much to drink
Lost your head and couldn't think
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Then you got lost, and I found you all involved
Wearing a guilty face
Had your arms around her waist
And lipstick on your face

[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what it is
[Chaka:] Ooh, you had lipstick on your face
[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what'd you see
[Chaka:] Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
[Cecil:] Oh baby, what it's gonna be
[Chaka:] Gonna stop this music playing
[Cecil:] Oh, do you trust in me
[Chaka:] It's very plain to see

(Prince)

Seems like an eternity since I've been in your arms
A multitude of colorless hours pass
I crave the life inside U, it keeps me from harm
I only pray that it's not just another God

[Chorus:]
Eternity, I want 2 be with U 4 all eternity
Darling U be, the only one 4 me together 4 eternity

I long 2 touch U (I long 2 touch U)
To feel the warmth in a world so cold
Whenever we (ooh) -- I don't know
But I want U all the time (I wanna hold on)
U R the beginning middle and end 2 every story told
U R the science of my mind

[Chorus]

And it seems like a year away
That U and I were making love
One should take life from day 2 day
But all my dreams R made of
All my dreams R made of eternity

(Prince)

[Chorus:]
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?

Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time 4 games

Sticky wicked
She just got a pair of tickets to the opera in her mind
No applause, no encore if she dies

[Chorus]

Kick it love, visions of her childhood
When her heart was gold
Sticky wicked
Tell me people what reason's good enough 2
Die before U're old? Kick it love, covenants of promise lay before your eyes
Stick wicked will trick U, lick U, then it kicks you aside!

[Chorus]

People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
Sticky wicked
Pretty stick wicked

(Scenario of a mother who can't remember her daughter's name)
Hey little baby, what's your name?
Oh ain't she cute?
Mama got 2 run today
I don't have time 4 games
No don't worry about me, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
If U want it, help is here today
There's a better God, don't U wanna play?

Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it

(Edward C. Redding)

So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?

So I talk a little too much and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

(Holly Knight and Billy Steinberg)

Baby, there's somethin' I like about you
You make me feel so wild and free
I don't know what you've been through
You're just crazy enough for me
And when you touch me I come undone
Do you do that to everyone?

[Chorus:]
Baby me, I'll baby you
I know that you're a big baby too
This world is crazy, you need someone to coo
Baby me and I'll baby you
Ooh, I'll baby you

It's past my bedtime, I can't sleep alone
Lay down beside me, I'll pull out the phone
Take me in your arms and rock me tonight
I'll tell you a story if you hold me tight
'Cause when you touch me I come undone
You better not do that to everyone!

(Chris Jasper and Margie Jasper)

Come on and stay with me for a little while
Hey can't we spend some time together
You look so good to me and I like your style
Come on let's make it last forever

I'm not an ordinary woman
I just want to love you with all my might
You better believe that I'm a good one
And I wanna guarantee I'll treat you right

Come on and stay with me for a little while
Come on and spend some time together
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make you smile
Hey can't we make it last forever

I know that love's a gamble
Puttin' all my lovin' on the line
There ain't a man that I can't handle
Give me your love, and I'll give you mine

(Gary Haase and Chaka Khan)

Got my love
Got my love lemme give it to ya
Got my love
Got my love lemme give it to ya
Got my love, got my love

Walkin' home, your kisses on my mind
Feelin' like nothin' can harm me now

[Chorus:]
Where are you tonite
Where are you tonite, Baby
Where are you tonite, (oh) won't you tell me baby
Where are you tonite

(Ooh where are you)

Minutes move, oh, so slowly now
And I can't groove, unless your answer's loud

[Chorus]

Love is true, love is real
Loving you is how I feel [repeat 4 times]

[Chorus]

(Ooh where are you)
(Ooh where are you)
Our love is such a special thing
It's what I feel inside
And my reason for existing
Is to keep you by my side
Keep you by my side

(Alec Wilder)

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I'll be around from now on
Your latest love can never last, and when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone

Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone

Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone
