I can remember when we had, we had it all
You and I, You and I
You know, you know we had it all
You and I
Reminisce

(Verse 1)
I know that we've been here before
The candle light and you walking softly through my door
Come on in my sweet. How have you been?
Your so nice but tonight we're gonna be more than just friends
I recall the days and ways of love we made
I still feel the heat when we shared each other
Don't you feel the magic, the mystery's in the air
Lets go down to lover's lane with the love we shared

(Chorus)
Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right
Reminisce on the love we had
Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right
Reminisce on the love we had

(Verse 2)
I can see you standing there alone 
like an angel tryin' to find his way home
I don't remember how we fell apart
Here we are again, c'mon, right into my heart
I recall the days in ways of love we made
I still feel the heat when we shared each other
don't you feel the magic, the mystery's in the air
Let's go down to lover's lane with the love we shared
(Chorus) 1x

(Bridge)
Make the time tonight, the feeling's oh so right
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight
Make the time tonight, the feeling's oh so right
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight

(Background)
Let's make the time tonight
Feeling is oh so right
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight
Let's make the time tonight
Feeling is oh so right
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight

Oh, baby, reminisce
I know we been here before
Some candle light and you walking softly through me door
C'mon in my sweet
Tonight we're gonna be more than friends
Feelings right my, my. sweet baby, baby, baby
I can see you standing there like an angel
Oh boy, oh reminisce, reminisce on the love we had

[Puffy]
Yes indeed once again
For those who don't know
What the sounds of the youngest DJ in charge
Ron G
I wanna say whassup to Mary
And this that uptown classic

Give it to 'em
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground

[Mary]
We are lovers true and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need

[1] - Real love
I'm searching for the real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love

Oh when I met you I just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration
Lead me towards a real love

[Repeat 1]

I've got to have a real love
Love so true and oh, baby
I thought that love was you
I thought you were the answer
To the question in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe I'll find a

[Biggie]
Look up in the sky
It's a bird, it's a plane
Nope, it's Mary Jane, ain't a damn thing changed
Kickin' ill flava with the Teflon Don
Record shop getting props
She got it goin' on
So what's it gonna be?
The real one, the fake one
Ya need a minute to think for whom ya better take
What up? My time is up
Peace out to brooklyn
Helpin' daddy-o hey yo, bring the verse in

[Mary]
So I try my best and pray to God
He'd send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me
Towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all and all
And give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring and fall

[Repeat 1]

You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
I've been around the world and high and low
And still will never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cuz it seems there's none around
I gotta end it in this way
Because seems he can't be found

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1 until fade while:]
[Puffy]
It's that flavor
That's what I'm talking about
Ain't no other way to explain it

. . .



Oooh you remind me, yeah
you remind me of such sweet memories

(Chorus)
I saw you before baby
It's a deja~vu honey
don't you know that you remind me

I saw you before baby
It's a deja~vu honey
Don't you know that you remind me

(Vs.1)
You, you remind me of a love that I once knew
Is it a dream or is it deja~vu
I just had to let you know so I had to sing it
'cause for you boy I don't know

The way you walk and the way you talk and
the way you move and you remind me, yes you do
Of the way you dress and the way you dance and 
you really like to move it. You remind me

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
You, you remind me of a memory
and this is something you should know
Sweet baby darling c'mon just stop playing with my mind

And the way you walk and
the way you talk and

You remind me, yes you do
The way you dress and

You remind me, you remind me

(Chorus)

but 'ya act so undercover
Love 'ya child my whole life long

don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny but...

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
You are my heat, you are my fire
you make me weak with soft desire
Love 'ya child my whole life long

. . .



(Vs.1)
Baby, there's no need to tell ya'
As far as I can clearly recall
my love has been here for you
So you don't have to worry at all
I'll sacrifice my time 
I'll make sure you're satisfied
And it's no hard thing to the joy I bring
I wanna give you all my love

(Chorus)
Loving you every day
don't you look no more
love without a limit
Loving you every day
don't you look no more
love without a limit

(Vs.2)
Baby, I'm in need of your love
and you got that touch 
that I need so much
and I am about to explode
Freely, completely, everything you want I'll be
good love down to the last drop
and I'm not gonna stop

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Loving you is all I wanna do
Loving you is all I wanna do
Loving you, said loving you
is all that I, all that I wanna do
baby, baby, baby, heeeeey

(During Chorus)
I'm loving you everyday
Loving you everyday every hour baby
Don't look no more, don't look no more
Loving you everyday
Loving you babe everyday 


. . .


(f/ K-ci Hailey)

(Chorus)
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else

(Vs.1) [K-ci]
Listen baby

Every night and day
I dream of another way
to tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong 
You just wanna be loved all night long baby 

(Chorus)

(Vs.2) [Mary J. Blige]

You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

[K-ci]
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong

[Mary]
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
(Mary & K-ci) Cause we belong together baby

(Music plays)

[Mary and K-ci]
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you

[K] Will you love me
[M] I will love you
[K] Will you please me
[M] I will please you
[K] Girl, don't leave me
[M] I won't leave you

[K] Will you love me

[K] Will you please me
[M] I will please you, you, you
[K] Girl, don't leave me
[M] I won't leave you

[K-ci]
They can take my possessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me

[Mary]
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
(Oh no)
Cause I love you baby
K I love you too
And I need you baby
K I need you to baby

[K-ci] (Mary in background Ad-libing)
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know

I love you
Oh yes
Oh you make me feel so good baby


. . .



Slow down baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere.

(Chorus)
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down

(Vs.1)
When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time 
and get it, get it right in the groove

Now there's no need for us to be
in a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right. 

Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
Now I got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it. Don't fight it.

If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion
Slow it down baby. Keep it right there. Keep it right there.

Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feelin good
so let's just take our time and make it last

(Chorus) 

(Ad libs and Chorus until fade)


. . .



Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Baby
Whatcha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love

(Vs.1)
I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart
But that was so long ago that I 
Thought we could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you wanna come back

(Chorus)
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do without my love

Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you

(Vs.2)
Sweet memories of yesterday 
When it all seemed so right
I was loving you, kissing you, holding you tight
I wish you know that a woman
That you learn to leave today
And it's a shame that you wanna come back now baby
My love has gone away

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I played the fool for you baby
And you stole away my heart
(Whatcha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
(Whatcha gonna do)
Sweet memories of yesterday
(Whatcha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away

(Chorus repeat and ad-libs until fade)


. . .



Oh, don't you wanna be with me

(Chorus)
Can't you see what I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
(Baby, don't you wanna be with me?)
Changes I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you

(Vs.1)
It's all gone
The love I thought we shared is gone away
Maybe it's better that we didn't stay together

Seems like we've gone through this a thousand times
Maybe I still don't have the answer
Why can't you tell me why we couldn't be together

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
See I didn't want to ever hold you tight
But still I need love and affection
Was it that hard for you to show me some attention

Tell me baby, did I push you away
Was I coming on to strong for you
Why can't you tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do
Oh can't you see

(Chorus)

Chorus repeated and ad-libs until fade


. . .


w/ Grand Puba

(Chorus)
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on, hun
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

(Vs.1- Grand Puba)
Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year 
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
let suckas step up and see
I'll flip the script and get harder than Jepoardy
I shot the sherif and the muthafuckin deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast 
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster 
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?

(Chorus)

(Vs.2- Mary J. Blige)
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week 
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin that, No I'm not havin that
You gotta do alot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just aint runnin up in me
I need a man who's lookin out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you aint with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?

(Bridge)
M All my love is all I have
P And Grand Puba's very special
M All my life I look for you
P And today your dreams come true
M You need me and I need you
P Grand Puba is very special 
M Things just seem to do devine
P This is how the two combine
M I know this love was meant to be
P Mary Blige is something kinda special
M Love is life and life is living
You're very special
