Eric Benét Album

I believe in the power inside of my heart
God is the source from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great and no cause too small
This infinite love is inside of us all

[Verse 1:]
My buddy, Greg lost his leg serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking, thinking of things he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile, but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon, second year in a row

Oh, there's a storm that you're gone have to ride in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves when you're lost in your life
Just hold on and you'll go with the tide

[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na

[Verse 2:]
I knew a girl, a pretty girl, but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive, before her heart grows colder
And all the love she's dreaming of, maybe then she will know

Yeah, we've got stories and people to blame for our lives
No, don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie, the only way is to leave the past behind

[Chorus: x2]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

[Bridge:]
There's so much more inside you and me
That the world needs to still believe
Nothing's too great for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright

[Verse 3:]
Grab a gun, everyone, said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change the will of the other side
Some people swear that blood and fear will bring the world together
I believe that all we need love, patience, and time.

[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

[ad lib and fade]

Still wanting me, still hungering
Still wanting me, still hungering (Are you still?)
Still wanting me, still hungering

[Verse 1:]
Now, the first kiss was the one that let me see
Just how deep you're into me
Surprised by your intensity
I couldn't believe

Now, the next kiss happened seven days ago
That's when I started letting go
Dropped my guard and let you know
0I was ready for more

Oh, that's when I took you home
And I wasn't quite ready for how you came
Words can't explain pleasures we've explored

Oh, we've been making love six nights strong
And I can't believe just how long you can go
I'm ready for more of the hunger in your soul

[Chorus 1:]
Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me
It's amazing that I'm loving you're
Still wanting me, still hungering
We keep rising like we're never going to reach the top
I'm not trying to get you to stop because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering

[Verse 2:]
Now the first time was amazing like I said
Like nothing I've seen, done, or read
Colors and music played in my head
I wasn't prepared

Now, the next time happened when I finally caught my breath
I saw the sweat drip off your chest
Girl, you inspire my very best
And I gave nothing less and it seems

With every conversation in between
I get a little more attracted
When you open up your mind, girl
I find your perception of the world coincides with mine

And I try to let the fever in me subside
But every time I see that little look in your eye
I come back to life
And I rise, I rise, I rise

[Chorus 2:]
From the bedroom, to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body calling because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering
From one hundred miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves upon your ocean because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering

[Bridge:]
Did you know that you smile when you're asleep?
Is it there all the time?
Or only when you're with me?
When the morning sun shines on your face
Let me be the first breath you take
I wanna be

Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me
It's amazing that I'm loving you see
Still wanting me, still hungering
We keep rising like we're never going to reach the top
I'm not trying to get you to stop because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering

From the bedroom, to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body calling because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering
From one hundred miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves upon your ocean because you're
Still wanting me, still hungering

I'm going back to the day we parted
And all the ways you were broken hearted
Take a trip everyday in my mind

I see your face I recall it few word
Its playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye

(if I do what I know)
I'd walk back in time
(I will write every wrong)
Oohh.. I would change every line
(and you'll be here right now)
Just like yesterday
(But you'd feel no more doubts)
When you hear me say

Chorus:
You're the only one I want (you're the only one ..yeah)
You're the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You're the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You're the only one I need in my life

I see the world through a haze of mem'ries
And then the girls don't mean a damn thing to me
It's kinda sad how they just don't compare
(Time will tell, let's wait and see)
(if our love we had was meant to be)
Coz I know we got a future out there

(coz you're still my girl)
I don't care what they say
(let's go back to our world)
Baby don't you throw this love away
(coz I still believe)
In the magic of us
(this is the matter of time)
And it's a matter of trial

Repeat chorus

Now girl it took sometime to get real with myself
Now love ain't easy sometimes
But if you find it we'll stay together

Repeat chorus til fade

[Verse 1:]
Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool
I hear the bells, but they don't ring the way they used to
It's like breaking up is our next obvious move
But let's not move too soon, oh, no

See, the problem going 'round too often these days
People throwing in the towel once they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain
Or else we've been these years, cried these tears in vain (I'm saying...)

[Chorus:]
Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)
Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)
Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)
Don't let go (Don't let it go)

[Verse 2:]
I've worked your patience, girl and you've been working my nerves
We scream at each other, but we're not hearing one word
We've made mistakes that neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired where I was concerned

I saw an old man and his wife early today
They were holding hands, his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways
In my mind, I could hear him say, "Stay, babe."

[Chorus:]
Don't let go (I could hear him say.)
Don't let go (Don't throw the love away.)
Don't let go (Aren't we worth it, baby?)
Don't let go (Don't let it go)

Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)
Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)
Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)
Don't let go (Don't let it go)

[Bridge:]
With some other girl, I could move on
Trading old problems just for new
To some other guy, you could belong
Going through changes we've been through

When another brother is trying to make a play
Don't you let go
When another woman jumps in my face
I will not let go
When the honeymoon starts fading away
I won't let go
If we're gonna make it I want to hear you say
I swear I won't let go.

Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)
Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)
Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)
Don't let go (Don't let it go)

[Ad lib and fade]

(feat. Terry Dexter)

[Verse 1:]
I never thought it was possible.
In my reality
I thought my chances for love were gone.
That time ran out for me.

My heart has been through some changes.
And heaven knows
What I thought was my everlove was so conditional

But my love, everyday with you I'm so surprised
Morning comes, I fall in love again
Each night, I'm thanking God you're in my life
I don't know how I know, but this feeling won't be ending

[Chorus:]
You're my everlove
Oh, my everlove
Everlasting through all changes in our lives

You're my everlove
You're my everlove
Ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove

[Verse 2:]
I'll never ask for perfection
That's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth in your heart
The rest we'll work out day by day

You've seen the best and worst of me
But you're still standing here, oh
There is nothing that can stop us now
'Cause we've got nothing left to fear

The future will show the power of a moment just like this
Whatever love can dream we both will know
Whatever we imagine will exist
Every kiss, I swear my life, will be deserving of your

[Chorus:]
Everlove
Oh, my everlove
Everlasting through all changes in our lives

Everlove
You're my everlove
Ever giving, ever learning with every cry
I found my everlove

[Bridge:]
The winds of change will blow
Your friends may come, may go
Each struggle in life may put us through the fire
But as long as I'm alive
I'll be right there by your side

[Chorus:]
Everlove
Oh, my everlove
Everlasting through all changes in our lives

Everlove
You're my everlove
Ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove

[Ad lib and fade]

[Verse 1:]
This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me
I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal

[Chorus:]
I need you to wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you wrap them chocolate legs around me
The memory of my day will quickly just fade away
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Please, baby, wrap them chocolate legs 'round me

[Verse 2:]
Your cocoa skin against mine, babe
Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love
You're the only thing I'm ever sure of(your love I'm sure of)
I need some reminding
That God is still, He's still behind me
Baby, come take my soul and set me free

[Chorus:]
When you come wrap your chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs around me
I need you to understand, and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you that's where I need to be
Oh, baby, wrap them chocolate legs around me

[Bridge:]
Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I need some reminding
That God is still, He's still behind me
So, baby, take my soul and set me free
I want you to know how much you mean to me
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs around me

Another Friday comin' round I think I know
what I need
a little time to escape from the pressures
of this week
I wanna see the city lights with someone
on my arm
but she gotta be just right to compliment
my charms

I'm not tryin' to lock her down not tryin' to
get too deep
cause she don't want to complicate her
life just like me
I might steal a kiss for her as we step
across the floor

Linda Kirally & Eric benet :

Now Baby, is like deep thing

Come on baby, tell me you in feeling me

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

[Verse 1':]
He let your love go.
You're a victim of a crime.
You're heart broken treacherously.
Your river just froze.
And now this happens every time you're faced with intimacy.
No one's been able to stable this painful phase.
It's like you just can't reach that high.
Would you mind it if I try?
Just lay back and close your eyes.
Guaranteed you'll feel the fire again.

[Chorus:]
I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

[Verse 2:]
Don't be afraid, oh I promise you if you let it flow
Your face will be stuck with a smile
Let's take off our clothes then let's take it nice and slow.
Let's stare at each other for a while.
No one can figure your trigger that's what you say.
How about you give me give it a try?
Like an aphrodisiac, I can bring the fire back.
'Cause I know exactly what to prescribe.

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge:]
It's been so long there a fire trapped inside you.
All I want is to be there when it burns you.
Baby, let me squeeze you, wanna hold you, wanna please you
Let me feel you, 'cause I need to

Lay you on the table, let me lick from your navel to your flowers, for hours
Baby, don't you see that there's nothing wrong with getting freaky,
When you need to, to release you

Baby, I'm on fire, we gonna take it a little higher
Till it's time to come inside you

[Chorus: ad lib and fade]

i once believed that the face of love would be
so clear to see -- one kiss conceives
giving birth to endless joy- thatʼs what i believed
but iʼve been slapped out my trance
from this bliss of ignorance
while the stench of disappointment i would breathe
iʼve played the roles brilliantly
the villain, the victim and in between
pushed the limit of my strength and sanity
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
your eyes your eyes given half a chance
could slice my heart in two (in two)
oh iʼve tried (iʼve tri----ied) at least a half a dozen times
probably the same for you (for you)
iʼve been the angel, been the beast
iʼve been confused and had clarity
i went the distance only to find
there was nothing there (nothing there)
take your hearts place your bets
on this game of russian roulette
if you lose they wonʼt remember or even care
(oh well)
but still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
yes i do---ooo
though i walk thru the valley i donʼt fear you
iʼll never stop believing though i hear you (hear you)
i know youʼre looking but youʼll never find me (find me)
when ever i smile--you are grieving (grieving)
when ever loves around me you are leaving
(youʼre leaving-----g)
shut the hell up now and get behind me
shut the hell up and get behind me
chorus + adlib xʼs 3
fade out

Can I tell you, shall I count the ways?
Can I find the words that could explain?
How my heart, my life, my soul, you changed forever

You ease my pain with such gentle hand
And when I'm with you I'm a better man
And I'll never ever understand the way

'Cause you sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
And when I look into your eyes I hear a song that never dies
'Cause you sing to me

There's so much evil in the world today
Everybody's trying to make their way
Looking for a piece of love to make it better

But we can make it through and rise above
With your letter serenade of love
And I know that we'll be strong enough to go on and on and on

'Cause you sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
Sweet enough to make me cry 'cause it keeps our love alive
Oh you sing to me, oh won't you sing baby?

And even through the fire
I know our love will find a way
And you're the reason why girl
I'm singing stronger everyday

You sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
'Cause when I look into your eyes I hear a song that never dies
'Cause you sing to me, oh sing baby

You sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
Sweet enough to make me cry 'cause it keeps our love alive
When you sing to me

You sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
'Cause when I look into your eyes I hear a song that never dies
'Cause you sing to me

You sing to me, sing to me
Please baby sing to me
Sing to me, sing to me

[Verse 1:]
Last night I dreamed my life was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven, but I know it was a lie
For when I looked, you weren't inside

[Chorus 1:]
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no more pain or sorrow there with you

[Verse 2:]
Last night my dream revealed the day could soon come
Without your kiss, your touch, your love
The first tears of Heaven cried would be mine
Till you were there right by my side

[Chorus 1:]
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no more pain or sorrow there with you

[Chorus 2:]
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would

[Bridge:]
Sometimes life makes us feel so secure
Like our days will last forever
Time will come when I'll be no more
Just think of me and remember

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
