Raheem DeVaughn Album

Some people make music for a moment
I make music for a lifetime
And now that you’re tuned into the frequency
I’d like to welcome you
I go by the name of the R&B hippie, Neo-Soul rockstar
Raheem Devaughn
Aaa turn me up
And this music is for the people and…
And I hope it inspires you to…love
Love
And if you just got off your cell phone from calling about 20 people lettin’ ‘em know it’s finally here, well that’s love
Yeah, that’s love
And if you conceive a baby wit’ ya old lady to track #7 tryna find mo’ betta ways to find that four letter word, well that’s love (that’s love)
That’s love
And if you buy five more copies every time the holiday rolls around cuz they make good stocking stuffers (Ha-ha), well that’s love
That’s love (Yeah)
That’s love
That’s love

I guess you'd say
(Ladies and gentlemen, take it to the dance floor right now)
What can make me feel this way
(We gonna do a so so now)
(We gonna party like a three day weekend)

It's Friday night and I got stacks
The club was crunk, jammed packed
Mrs. Bartender what drink is that
T-Pain 'Buy A Drink', playin' in the back

And a plate full of ecstacy
So make your reservations

[x2]

Even, even if I don't have much to my name
And through the ups and downs that come with fame in my life
You pat me on the back and rub away the pain
'Cause you're my baby, my darlin'

Priceless, you're priceless
No dollar amount can buy the friendship you bring
You are the first lady worthy of a king, my queen
The moment I set eyes on you, I knew I would fall

See, life ain't so bad after all
You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it, you make it better

You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it
I know your love gets more better, more better with time

Like a rainbow cutting through, take out the clouds
And you come around, girl and make me smile
It's a joy to hear you say, "Things will work out somehow"
'Cause you're my baby, my darlin'

So promise, promise me and I'll promise you
Promise and I'll make a vow to, to you, girl
'Cause from the moment I set eyes on you
I knew that fairy tales come true, look at us, lady

See, life ain't so bad after all
You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it, you make it better

You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it
I know your love gets more better, more better with time

Now, I know I'm kinda young but I got a old soul
So I'ma break it down for you for a moment
Tell you how much I appreciate you
When you whisper in my ear
"Baby, it will be okay", you make it better

Rub my body down after a hard day's work, you make it better
Wakin' up to you in the morning, you make it better
Late in the midnight hour, you make it better
Now I could be the richest man on the earth and not have much at all
But we got somethin' priceless, baby

See, life ain't so bad after all
You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it, you make it better

You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better
You make it better, you make it
I know your love gets more better, more better with time

Our love, it gets better with time
Your love gets better with time
Your love gets better with time
Even as a man I cry sometimes

You make it better
Some kind of special woman you are
To make it better, oh yeah
Make it better

(feat. Malik Yusef)

Woman,

There is good music but there is no goodbye... so I'm finnin' to kiss that ass hello then praise high heaven, a scale of one to ten cannot appraise a fly eleven... you're my ghetto queen like thelma evans, if you looking for a dude then I am devin... woman, you are ice cold holy water when I'm going through hell, and we are a provocative love story that I'm going to tell... let me be so many cool breezes on the hottest day of the year, and you are holistically the topic of my discussion, not just your rear... so please baby let me make love to you, my career, and then flip me into a hypocrite cause I beg for your moisture as I dry each tear... damn woman, you sweet sticky thing... I am drenched in your wetness so this kool-aid smile can change the attitude of gratitude that you would even let this happen, and thanks for not snapping when our rapping didn't reflect your worth... so this is me tapping into your maple syrup and letting each drip, drop into my mouth so I skip downtown and slip down south, this way I can sip me some flow from the mouth of your mighty mississippi until I am tipsy... or till there's none left and if done right, you'll mention malik and God in one breath... I love you to death, na I love you to life, love of my life, love you as my wife... I don't even need a number to call you, sister, goddess, baby, momma, so blessed that you are my baby momma... super thorough although they seem to trip when you young... but woman you defy physics you crib out west but stay on the tip of my tongue... so technically you occupy two spaces simultaneously... you are God and body same as me... so I worship your dichotomy... shamelessly... cause you drown me... and set me on fire too...

Woman,
I desire you

Desire, where are you when I need you most?
Can't you tell the way I long for you?
I think it's unfairly wrong of you teasing me like you do, baby
Could it be you do it just for fun when you know I am the only one?
'Cause you know you are the only one I

Desire
(Ooh, you make me)
Desire
(In the morning I)
Desire
(You, baby)
Desire
(Make me desire you, you, you, you)

Desire, please tell me why must you make me beg?
Desire please stop running through my head
Is it that you love to play cat and mouse?
Give me a clue what to do, help me out

Perhaps I'm your subject or just your muse
It feels so damn good to be used
When you know I am the only one

Desire
(Oh, I desire you)
Desire
(I can't help the way I desire you)

Desire
(Oh)
Desire
(I can't sleep at night, at night)

Desire
(I wanna, I wanna touch you with)
Desire
(Desire you)

Desire
(Passionately with desire)
Desire
(I wanna kiss you with every)

Every, every part of me wants every part of you, I desire you
(Yeah)
I desire you, I desire you
(I desire you)
I desire you, I desire you
(If there ever was a time, baby)
(Desire you, I would say the time is now)

I desire you, I desire you
(Come to me, ooh)
(It's urgent, can't you, can't you hear it in my voice)
(How I desire you?)

Desire
Desire
Desire

Don't take too long
Don't take too long
Please come to me
I want you

Desire
Desire
Desire

[No lyrics]

I'm just built like this [Incomprehensible]
Love-makin' is a zone, the rhythm, the music
The movement, wet, devotion
Are you focussed? Are you?

I can help you last forever
[Incomprehensible], connect
She says things to me like
"Keep me coming"

As the seconds turn to minutes
As the minutes turn to hours
As the sound of love is hollered
Time just keeps elapsing
And I just keep climaxing

With sweaty palms to say the least
You know just what to do to curl my toes
When she blows, there I go
I lose all control and there's no need for batteries
Once you turned on your light

Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon
Your love-making's like a marathon
Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, on and on and on
Your love-making's like a marathon

Roll me something, baby
Let me light you
I respond to her femininity

The sweet taste of heaven
I taste when I kiss you
Suga, you fulfill the passion
You make all my daydreams come true

I'm caught in your seduction
You make me lust for more and more
When it rains, girl, it pours
From the vibe to the core

Now feel your hands stretch my back
As you play in my lap
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Like a marathon, baby, let it go, let it go

Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon
Your love-making's like a marathon
Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, on and on and on
Your love-making's like a marathon

Marathon, a marathon
Marathon, a marathon
Marathon, a marathon
Marathon, a marathon

Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon
Your love-making's like a marathon
Marathon, marathon, marathon, marathon, on and on and on
Your love-making's like a marathon

Kiss me like when I dream of you
Notice me, act like you have a clue
Flirt with me, act like I interest you
Like my eyes do, wish I could undress you

So I try to find the words
But I only suffocate
Then my palms, they start to sweat
And my shirt is soakin' wet

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don't walk by, just say hello, baby
You are my day dreams when I'm awake

Let's sleep like I pretend we do
Convince me that day dreams do come true
Picture as where I picture you
And I just panic when you're in bird's eye view
And I try to say hello and the words don't come out right
Wish I could find myself but it's a losing fight

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don't walk by, just say hello, baby
You are my day dreams when I'm awake

I go dreamin' you go wakin' me
You won't catch me and I keep fallin' girl
You only notice me in a perfect world
But the world is so imperfect so

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don't walk by, just say hello, baby
You are my day dreams when I'm awake
You are my day dreams when I'm awake
You are my day dreams when I'm awake

Not in this lifetime or even, even in the next
I could go a million places, meet a million girls
But none, none would compare to you
(None)
For example

It was pure coincidence, I met her on the block
When she was from the land of Venus
Her voice was like the perfect song
Brown eyes, hair long, chemistry was good between us

Met another on a charter plane
On my way back from Spain, her name was Maria
(Maria)
But I don't really need her
(I don't need her)
'Cause the fact of the matter is

Even if I took her number to call her
(She's not you)
If we laid down, there'd be no love involved
(She won't do)

Ooo, she can't do me like you can 'cause, no
(She's not you)
See my mind is made up, I don't wanna wake up
I don't wake up and roll over if
(She's not you, no)

Lips full, hips wide, dancer at fifty five
Make you wish, you was her pole
Drinks done, last call
(Where)
Gotta go, we can never be involved

Had a video shoot, real petite, pretty cute
Met a girl by the name of Suzanne
(Suzanne)
Just like Maria
(Maria)

I don't need her
(I don't need her)
'Cause the fact of the matter is

Even if I took the seven digits tryna be slick
(She's not you)
If I cross the line, laid with her one time, ooo
(She won't do)

She won't do, do, do, do, do, do, like you do, no, no
(She's no you)
Plus my mind is made up, I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up and roll over if
(She's not you no)

You, she don't compare to you, baby
Mm, mmm, mmm, mm
She, she don't cook like you, baby
Mm, mmm, mmm, mm
And if she did, probably wouldn't be good as your's

Forever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever
So you belong to me

Even if I took her number, hey, hey, yea
(She's not you)
And I called her one time
Trying to be slick one time and lay with her
(She won't do)

She won't do, do me like you do, no, no
(She's not you)
Plus my mind is made up, I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna roll over and over if she's not you

I don't want no breakfast from her in the morning
(She's not you)
365 days of the year, all I want is you
(She won't do)
Even if I tried to be slick, cross the line, lay with her one time
(She's not you)

See, my mind is made up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up to no one, no, no
(She's not you)
She's not you

My name used to roll off your tongue in the heat of...passion

I wish that love was easy and ever...lasting

Maybe you just love too hard, maybe I just love too free

But when you jumped ship baby...you took a piece of me

They say Rome wasn't built in one day, so somehow maybe someway...you can see past my imperfections and I can just love you for who you are

If time heals all wounds, I'm hopin' you will come around soon and...maybe we can try again

I thought I'd hear your voice
(Hello, hello, hello)
But instead the operator says
Your number's changed
My apologies
(My apologies)

Please forgive me, please
For I've been selfish and I'm to blame

If I could reverse the years
(If I could reverse the years)
To take back all the tears
I'd rewrite the screenplay

But life don't work that way
(What you mean it don't work that way?)
So lonely here I lay
Wishing you was still my lady

When it's not easy to walk away
(Try, try, try, try again)
When you don't really mean what you say
(Try, try, try, try again)

When you feel incomplete
Don't you go losing sleep
I think you should try again
Can we try again? Try again

The perfume you used to wear
(The sweet perfume you used to wear)
Sometimes I smell it in the air and do a double take
And sometimes I play your song
(Sometimes I play your song)
Just to dance along, just to cut the pain

Please forget me not
(Don't forget, don't forget
Don't forget, don't forget me)

If ever you should tie the knot
Or just find somebody new
I hope this rights the wrongs that I've done
See, I composed this song
'Cause it's hell without you

See, winter's too cold without you
Summer too lonely without you
And I can't stop thinking about you
Can we try again?

Oh fall, that's when we met
Spring, it was times I can't forget
My Cinderella, my Juliet
Can we try again?

Close your eyes and imagine life with me
Now imagine life without me, could you do it?
I couldn't imagine life without you

Without you I'd be empty
To lie in the bed alone-empty
Shotgun in the ride-empty
My heart, my heart-empty

Ooh, you know you're lovesick
When ya answer the phone
And you hope to hear her voice
Ooh, you know you're lovesick
When ya shut it down and make
That girl your only choice

Ooh, lovesick when
When you wake up in the morning
(Just to fix her breakfast)
And I'll tell you how you know, your heart'll tell you so
When you found something good, you just can't let it go

One might spend a whole lifetime
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
My heart and my speaks for you
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)

Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(So empty)

Ooh, you know you found the one
When you get on bended knee
And words come out like marry me
Ooh, yes, you know you found the one
When the seconds feel like heaven
In the blink of an eternity

Ooh, you know you found the one
When there's no thought of time
And she's always on your mind
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you wanna be a better man
And man up like you can

One might spend a whole lifetime
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
My heart and my speaks for you
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)

Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(So empty)

Only gonna be alone
Searching the world for whatcha got at home
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be

Only gonna be alone
Searching the world for whatcha got at home
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be

One might spend a whole lifetime
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
My heart and my speaks for you
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)

Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(So empty)

Right after a light rain, have you ever seen
A rainbow that touched the sky?
Where it meets next to a pot of gold
That's what your beauty, your beauty reminds me of

Like a full moon it hangs next to the heavenly clouds
From which you came, you're my shining star
I'd be lovesick

I taste sweet melodies
Every time I kiss you
I yearn and toss and turn
Every time I find myself missin' you

And rain-falls don't sound as wet
Don't feel as wet when I ain't inside of you
Your skin is soft as silhouette
At the stroke of my finger tips

'Cause I hope you're not the prototype
But the makings of the real deal
See, it's been some time since this came around
So I recognize just what I feel, my old friend's back

It's that old four letter word that I feel when I touch you, yeah
(Lemme tell you what it is)
It's that old four letter word that I taste when I kiss you, yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar, yeah
It's that old four letter word, love, love, love, love, love, love
(I got to spell it out, L O V E, love)

I feel sexy and confident
When I illuminate in your eyesight
I feel speechless and spellbound
So, what's the use of even tryin' to put up the fight

I let down all my guards
You persuaded me when you did the same
I'm throwin' in all my cards
I found a higher ground, a higher plane

See, it's been some time
I know where you been, I been waitin' on ya
But welcome back
I hope you're here to stay, here today

I always hear about, sing about
Even write about ya, talk about ya
(There was a time I was sure I had)
Just know I had till ya slipped away
But not this time, no, no

It's that old four letter word that I feel when I touch you, yeah
(That feels so good inside)
It's that old four letter word that I taste when I kiss you, yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar, yeah
It's that old four letter word, love, love, love, love, love, love
(L O V E, got to spell it out)

This time
This time
This time
...
