living wasn't easy
cuz we didn't have much money
but i knew i would make it someday.
they told me i was nothing
that i'd never be something
but i knew i would make it someday
verse 1
this is my story, i was a girl who
came from nothing, life in my surroundings
was bad. but deep inside me
i would pray for god to guide me
cuz i knew he'd give me strength for life
and all it's problems back then.
verse 11
hand me down clothing
empty shelves inside the cupboard
and mama kept three jobs to make do
i'd hear her cryin
but she never stopped between
3 girls, light bill & the rent ya'll
livin wasn't easy back then

oh oh oh oh oh oh-----------------------------(backgrounds)
by faith i believed one day i'd
sing, things would get better
so don't give up no matter what it seems
(modulate)
hook 11
livin wasn't easy
cuz we didn't have much money
but i knew i would make it someday
no matter what it's seeming

and you know that you can make it someday

Verse 1
I found a love so real
It fills my head right down to my heels
Never thought that I'd ever feel this way
My love please stay

Move my clouds and gave me the sun
There's no doubt that you are the one
Made my world complete and now I see how love
Should be--- and I like

Like how you make me feel
The way you make me feel
It's too good to be real

Verse 1
Happy days cuz now I have you
Pain erased I'm no longer blue
Filled my empty space with love so true
I never knew I'm in love, I can't deny
Found someone who makes me smile
Butterflies inside
This feels so right
You've changed my life

Bridge
Every single part of me
Loves everything you do to me
Don't ever go away
Baby, always stay
Boy you know it's true
I like the things you do

(feat. Keith Murray)

(feat. Eric Clapton)

Verse I
Sorry I never meant to hurt you
You know I really love you
And if you give me one more chance I'll prove it to you
Stop! Cuz I don't wanna hear it
Please don't say your same old speech
Another time, I think I have it memorized

Hook
Again, boy lied to me
Again, and you're hurting me again
I've made up my mind and I won't take you back this time
Again, don't start calling me
again, no apologies again
I won't change my mind
I won't take you back this time

Verse II
I'm sorry, those words for you are easy
You think that they appease me but I know now
They're just two words you use to play me
Stop! Cuz I will not believe it
This time I'm leaving all the hurt and pain behind
So I can just be happy once again

Bridge
Happy once again
This time I will find someone to love me
And find someone to really be my friend
Happy once again
Never will I let another hurt me
Like you hurt me so, again

[No lyrics]

When I was a baby girl, mama put in me
You can be anything that you wanna be
Now, that I'm older and I'm much bolder
A time or two love has walked out on me

I don't know why, guess it was the wrong guy
And he didn't fit into my destiny
But that's alright and that's okay
'Cause I got someone who will love me anyway

Strong man, got me a strong man
Real man, got me a real man
Good man, got me a good man
He's my man, glad that he's my man
So, listen while I talk about it

I worked too hard to remind me
That God gave His best when He created me
Many lonely nights and many teary eyes
'Cause how would it be me they refuse to be with

I don't know why, guess it was the wrong guy
And he didn't fit in to my destiny
But I'm alright y'all and that's okay y'all
'Cause I got a man who loves me any, any, anyway

Strong man, got me a strong man
Real man, got me a real man
Good man, got me a good man
He's my man, glad that he's my man

I found someone, he builds me up
He gives good love
I found somebody, body
Who knows my body, body
He loves this smile of mine

Strong man, got me a strong man
Real man, got me a real man
Good man, got me a good man
He's my man, glad that he's my man

Strong man, got me a strong man
Real man, got me a real man
Good man, got me a good man
He's my man, glad that he's my man

hook
how does it feel
now that you know
you could've had me
but you let me go
you're on the outside
of your own world
cuz someone else married
married your girl.
verse 1
destiny said we were to be
but you tested fate so
you could run free.
now you watch in disbelief
while someone else is living your life with me
bridge
your wife, your kids, your house, your cars
your white picket fence around your green acred lawn
was written long before you were born
you gave it away, oh what a mistake!
verse 11
all along you wasted time
scared to settle down and make up your mind.
but was it worth it all?
to do your do?

verse 1
it was valentines day february the 14th
my baby took me to a special place
said he had a surprise for me
he told me to close my eyes
so that i could not see and when i opened them up
he was on one knee reachin' for my hand (that's when)
chorus
he proposed to me- he proposed with a diamond ring
i started crying- he placed it on my finger and i said
yes- he proposed to me- he proposed with a diamond
ring i couldn't believe it i looked in his eyes and i
said yes.
verse 11
i'll never forget that night- it was 8:43 pm to be
precise
he looked into my eyes and said-you've made me the
happiest man alive. soon as i got home i called my
mother on the phone- said you won't believe what just
happened to me
bridge
we will be together-this i know
we will love forever my heart told me so
if you promise to hold me tight and never let me go
we'll be husband and wife
for the rest of our lives

verse i
i'm waiting at the door
with just a little more than
a birthday suit and a smile just for you.
see i been thinking all day boy
of brand new ways to say boy
this thing that's on my mind
so i'll just take my time and say
hook
so sweet to me baby
it feels good to me honey
heaven sent my soulmate for sure
love was never like this before
verse ii
thoughts of things you do
keep me wanting you more
your tender kiss
lord knows i can't resist
you're so much man
and i don't think you understand
that just one word from your mouth
and i'll be melting in your hands
bridge
when you're in my room
and i'm looking at you
i wanna do (i wanna do things)
so let's take our time
look in my eyes
and i'll come alive
you got my five senses
all woke up
i see your passion
i feel your touch
i hear your voice
i taste your love
i'm breathing in the scent of us
verse iii
i'm waiting at the door
cuz i want a little more love

verse ii
and so i creep trying to find

bridge

or do you even care?
are we gonna try and work it out
start again or will you doubt
we can win, make it new
so whatcha gonna do????

verse i
she couldn't take it anymore
so she got to steppin' out the door
so many years you beat her down
now you've got another one
better straighten up
there's a new girl in town
hook
i live here now
the other woman had to leave
cuz she was trippin'
now the right one has your keys
i live here now
and i'll never take from you the things she took
that just won't do
verse ii
so many years she lived for you
so many tears she cried them too (she wet the pillow)
so many memories that won't erase yes
but she's never comin' back
don't you look for her
cuz i've taken her place
bridge
i can't be that woman who let you break her down
i can't be that woman who let you make her frown
cuz now i see that i deserve better than you've given me
and more i deserve more, i deserve more!

hook
before the house, before the kids
before the history and all the years
can we take it back again?
can i be your girlfriend?
before the fights, before the storms
before the silence, before this song
can we take it back to then?
can i be your girlfriend?
verse i
do you remember, remember when just you and me baby
and nothing else exists?
seems like a memory from way back when
but if we were happy before
we can be happy once again if we would
take the time, do the things
long before, vows and rings
verse ii
i know you love me from deep within
just look at our family and the life we've given them
but baby show me the way it is
i'm not just a mother or your other
but a lover and your friend so can you?
bridge
flirty looks and playful eyes
all night calls and long good byes
sneaking in because it's late
the way we were on our 1st date
butterflies and sweaty hands
summer walks and makin plans
if we had it once before
we can get it back again like before

hook i
if i could love you
if you had came into my life before
if i could turn and walk away
i would if i could but i can't so please understand
hook ii
if i could kiss you
if i could hold you in my arms awhile
if i could be with you tonight
i would if i could but i can't so please understand
verse i
baby, baby, baby
i've been wondering
whatcha doing now
and how your life has been
and now i see you baby
cuz you're back again
and you wanna know
if we can kick it again?
but so much has changed now
i gotta man and some kids
i've got responsibilities
so i can't just up and leave
but i wanted you to know that
verse ii
it's our secret baby
is what you said to me
but there's too much at stake
my home, my family
the thought is tempting baby
but i won't be weak
can't go out like that
never, no way, no how not me!

bridge
another life, another space
another time, another place
but not right here and now
i gotta honor my sacred vows
passions high, desire strong
it's feeling right but this is wrong
and i'm not that kinda girl
i gotta go home to my world

hook
you were just a boy
and i was just a girl in love
cabangas was a toy
and the rubics cube made life seem tough
truth or dare was a game
all your crew would dress the same to
school each day
i remember when oh do you remember when
back in the day, back in the day.
verse i
life was so simple back then
double dutch and talking junk
was what we did
hangin outside with my friends
till the street lamp said
it's time to come in (sometimes i)
b-sec
long for the days
no work and all play
long for the times
innocently blind
verse ii
life was so simple back then
quarter water's when we're thirsty
gave the quench
we were so easy to please
candy necklaces and rings
were to us the finer things
verse iii
life was so simple it seemed
rockin kangols w/adidas and lee jeans
nameplates and 4 finger rings
jelly sandals for your feet
mr. softee made life sweet
how i long___________________
bridge
new edition sang to me
ronnie, bobby, johnny, ricky and mike
(don't forget ralph)
that's what i remember
loving you came easily
first time we ever kissed goodnite
do you remember?

verse i
i'm reading your "dear john"
it says you're moving on
you need your space, you need some time
and greener grass you seek to find
i saw it from afar
i knew it in my heart
the happiness had gone away
pretended we would be ok
hook
for every time you've made me cry
i gotta sit and wonder why
i love you, i still do
i need you, i always will
i want you to hold me tight
i need you with me tonight
i still do
verse ii
why do i hold on?
why can't i be strong?
i know it's time to walk away
but still inside i hope and pray
that you'll return to me
my eyes too blind to see
that love should never bring me pain
i know i can't go on this way
bridge
i gotta wipe away the tears
i gotta stand and face my fears
i gotta love myself enough to make it better
the woman that i used to be
i know she's still inside of me
i'll find a way to breathe again
this won't be how my story ends

VERSE I
You made my day
You came my way
You heard me everytime I pray

Verse II
You gave me peace
You gave me grace
You put a smile upon my face

Hook
You brought the sunshine
In my life
You are the lifeline
Save my life (Repeat)
Since that I have found Christ
There has been such a change in my life

Bridge
I'm a witness
That Jesus
He'll make a difference in your life

Vamp
You made
You made my day
You came
You came my way
