Patti LaBelle Album

Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day I only shop for me
Don't get mad if I buy the clothes
That you think are not the style for me
Who I am is not what I wear
And what I think has nothing to do with hair
Love me by what my heart shows
But it seems like you just can't let it go

(chorus)
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'
(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical
I'm so much more than material

Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day of cosmotology
Don't get mad if you see me
Exploring different sides of me
Deep inside of my outer shell
There's only so much I'd show and tell
Love me like the real girl you know
But it seems that you just can't let it go

(chorus)
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'
(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical
I'm so much more than material

(Bridge)
More than material
More than the typical
More than just a video
A respectable
And effectual, girl

Repeat

(Chorus)
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'
(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical

(chorus)
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

You're a woman now, and it's time for you
Time you grow up and learn your way
Make this house a home, and make sure he knows
You're the one he can count on

(chorus)
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

Now that you've settle down, how could you wear a frown
Knowing that he is the one
His love has been so good, it's time you understood
That he'll never let you down

(chorus)
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

(Repeat)

(Bridge)
Has there ever been a time, you let him slip away
You didn't know what you had, now you wish he would have stayed
Girlfriend it's time to grow and learn what it takes
To hold on to the real thing

(chorus)
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

Seems my life
Is finally coming together
Feels so good
Don't think I've ever been better
It's clear to me
My future will bring
The peace I've been living for will be mine
Forever more

(Chorus)
It's a new day
Open my eyes and the path is clearer
It's a new day
Pushin' ahead til my goal is nearer
It's a new day
Spread my wings
I'm doin' things my way
It's a new day

Made the same mistakes
Over and again
Now it's time
For the illusion to end
For every door that shuts
Another opens
Takin' a chance I'm gonna win
Can't go back where I've been

(Chorus)
It's a new day
Open my eyes and the path is clearer
It's a new day
Pushin' ahead til my goal is nearer
It's a new day
Spread my wings
I'm doin' things my way
It's a new day

(Bridge)
I'm excited for the things ahead of me
I decided I can make it on my own
Embrace the good and bad
And let go of the past
I'm loving what's inside of me

(Chorus)
It's a new day
Open my eyes and the path is clearer
It's a new day
Pushin' ahead til my goal is nearer
It's a new day
Spread my wings
I'm doin' things my way

We talk, it's always good
So much is already understood
We spend time, I like being with you
You're mine I wouldn't deny it's true
Even though I think you, dream about you
Want you so much
There's something you gotta know

(Chorus)
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more
It's got to be more

You said that you're taking your time
But I wonder
In the end will you be mine
You're sweet, I crave your touch
We make good love
But sometimes that's not enough
Even though you're good to me
And another woman would settle for less
There's something I must confess

(Chorus)
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more
It's got to be more

(Bridge)
More than just a feel so good emotion
Something I can count on in the midst of a storm
To bring back the sunshine again

(Chorus)
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more
It's got to be more

(Chorus)
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more

When you love someone like you do
There's no in between, not for you
You give him everything that you got
You love him all the way or not
When you love someone it just hurts
When you've done everything to make it work
So when everything's not enough
Maybe he's just not the one

(Chorus)
Sometimes love walks away
Sometimes love has to change
Sometimes the heart has to break
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love
Sometimes love's not the way
That you thout it would be
Sometimes you just got to leave
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love

When you love someone it's natural
To have second thoughts, should you go
It's not easy girl, being strong
You keep wondering if you were wrong
But don't you fall for that it's a game
The trying to make you feel you're to blame
To protect your heart there's no shame
You know better girl walk away

Does my discomfort
Comfort you
Do you believe that joy
Is too much to hope for
Can you see?
Our existence could be so much more
Create yours
And allI ask is
Just a little respect from you
Do you even know who I am

(Chorus)
Do you hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you

You shaped my passion
But shame my name
Your fear is to listen
And to recognize my pain
You block my journey
You mock my tears
Tell me why
I spoke for us, for we
But now there's just silence

(Chorus)
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do yo believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you

(bridge)
For a brighter day
I hope to see you again
For a brighter day
I'm hoping we can still be friends
For a brighter day
I wish we could fly away
Together baby you and I
Can't you hear my cry,
My cry, my cry

(Chorus)
Hear my cry
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you

You're driving me crazy
It's something I can't explain
Whatever you're doing to me
Why don't you do it again
I've never been so in love
Must've been sent from above
To fill my empty nights
Make everything alright
Your love is too good for words

(Chorus)
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything

(Verse 2)
If I could imagine
The perfect man
It would be you
You bring out the woman in me
With everything that you do
I've never been so alive
Where have you been all my life
I love the way it feels
To have a man that's real
I'm so happy inside

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Anything you want from me
I will give you what you need
Just say the word
And its done
I know you're the one
Your kiss is like a drug to me
Love the way you're touching me
I'm addicted to you
And that thing that you do

(chorus)
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

I used to think that we were
Always gonna be in love
But I was so naive back then
I wasn't wise enough
To know there ain't nothing
In this life that's guaranteed
You take your chances
When you let your heart lead

And heaven knows how much
I wanted to keep loving you
You let me down
When you said some things
That were untrue
So I'm giving you up
Cause there ain't enough
Love in this world
To change my mind
We're out of time
The dream is over

(Chorus)
I've got my reasons
For the way that I feel
Suffered in silence
When I had to conceal
My honest emotions
Truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just
Got to be real

(Verse 2)
We could go on forever
Never really letting go
What's the sense in that
When in our hearts we knew
This isn't working
We're on a dead end road
Don't think my back can stand
The weight of the load

And while it's hard for me
To admit we made a mistake
I can't pretend no more
It's too much to take
Time for moving on
Said all I have to say

Won't live a lie
This is goodbye
The dream is over now

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And as I walk away
Though I'm leaving
With tears and regrets
There are memories
Of you I will never forget
Shared I will never
Forget

But it's time for me to
Do what my heart
Tells me to

I have to be strong
But right or wrong
I'll always love you

It's hard to see the fear inside
As I walk away from you
And distance overcomes the miles
As slowly I pull through
And I cannot reach the world today
Cuz I'm suffering from you
And the more I think, the more I cry
As I walk away from you

(Chorus)
I'm two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive
And I'm feeling incomplete

I don't understand my life
Or the version that chose you
And the warring hearts and winter came
Now there's nothing left to do
And I cannot reach the world today
Cuz I'm suffering from two
And the more I think, the more we die
As I walk away from you

(Cchorus)
I'm two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive
And I'm feeling incomplete

(Bridge)
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away

Two steps away
Two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive

Two steps away
Two steps away

Feat. Miri Ben-Ari

Here you come
Walking my way
So much inside me
I wanna say
I've been holding on
For the longest time
Yeeesss...

(Chorus)
Finally got the nerve
to tell you how I feel about you
The nerve
I can't live without you
The nerve
To tell you
What's been on my mind
For a lifetime
I finally got the nerve
I found the words to say
I got the nerve
Can't wait another day
Got the nerve
I don't wanna lose it
This time, noooo...

(verse 2)
I'm trying to make
Trying to make a connection
But I'm afraid that there
Might be rejection
On your part
It would break my heart
In a million pieces
Can't go through it (through it)
Another day
I gotta let you know
I feel this way
About you man
I just dream about you
In my life

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
When you walk by me
My heart skips a beat
I contemplate
The thought of you and me
I get weak for you baby
I can't speak
But that's how it is

I know I gotta, gotta keep it real
Cuz you know how
You know how I feel
I'm wanting you
And I'm needing you
Every day

I can't believe we have to deal with so much misery
We tear each other down, it's such a shame to see
All the love we could share, we take for granted
You never miss what you had until its gone

(chorus)
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside

It's up to us to make a better way
We have to change our hearts to heal the world today
Don't cost you nothing but a smile
To make somebody's life feel worthwhile

(Chorus)
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside

(bridge)
You can take it to a place
Beautiful, wonderful, unpredictable

(chorus)
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time

feat. Sheila E.

(verse)
In my life I never
Dreamed I'd ever
Feel the way I do
When we're together
Loving you I'm brand new
Nothing could be better
Every moment spent with you
Is so incredible
You're the king of my heart
Your kiss is on my soul

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
When you smile

(verse)
All it took was just a glance
And I was captivated
I'm so glad that we've had
This time beneath the sun

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
When you smile

(bridge)
I don't crave gold
To make me whole
I just need you
To soothe my soul
And be for me
My shining star
I love you just
The way you are

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
