and how your love is everything to me

that shakes away my pain

cause being without you i could never be i don't wanna be
it's so hard to find a love so true
but if you mean what you say i love you

chorus

i wanna call you sometimes
tell you your the best
that without your precious love

chorus

Yeah

I tried to run but couldn't get too far
My heart is bumpin' but still runnin' in place
No matter how hard I try to get your touch
When you're away to love a girls is too much
But everytime I run I ? oh so bad

But i'm running as still my heart?s beatin? so fast
I heard that you could make a man change his plan
that's why i'm running fast, i'm running to honey your (dash?)

I run for the heels, girl that you wore
How you appeal you see I never know
I told her folks (her love a double face ?)
Delight me a smoke so I can sing some jazz

Now here come in late, here come those eyes
And me the one I can never deny
I try to ?, move as I can
But I guess I need another plan
I need you lovin? baby, oh so bad

Girl I'm runnin' as (still?) my heart's beatin' so fast
I heard that you could make a man change his plan
that's why I'm running fast, I'm runnin' the 100 yard dash

Your love gets stronger
And it feels like everyday it's getting longer
I feel your love like a monkey on my back
Girl your honey's so big see I can feel the attack

Oh, Oh I need some lovin'
I, I want your lovin'
I can have your lovin'
I need to, got to, got to have your lovin'

Oh-Oh-Oh

Well there’s nothing you can do
Well there’s nothing you can say
‘Cause everything just ain’t gon’ go your way
If you’re feeling kind of strange
And he wanna lay it down
If it’s hard for you to keep your feet on solid ground

You better keep on, keep marchin’
Oh-oh keep marchin’ on
You just gotta keep on, oh yeah, keep marching on
Oh-oh keep marchin’ on
Keep, keep, keep marchin’

When a poor girl shines
And a rich girl cries
And the clown is wearing no make up
You got to get up and run
You got to get up your stride
You got to put all your pride into makin’ it

You gotta keep on, keep marchin’
Oh-oh, keep marchin’ on
You gotta keep on, come on now, keep marchin’
keep on marchin’ now
keep marchin’ on

You gotta keep, keep, keep marchin’
You gotta keep, keep, keep marchin’

Keep, keep marchin’
keep marchin’
keep marchin’
keep marchin’

You gotta keep on, you gotta keep on, keep marchin’ on
That’s all we gotta do today is keep on marchin’, oh-oh
Don’t let nobody tell you no different, oh no, keep marchin’ on

Mmmm mm mm
Yeah
Whoa
Ay-ay ay ay

[Verse]
Somebody tell me
What's going wrong
I aint seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
They say them ladies broke
And my baby's gone
Listen
It's been a couple of days
And real dark nights
I miss my only child
I aint seen her since that night
She left home about eight
And never to return
Our body's floatin' -- Floatin' into that river

[Chorus]
I gotta know
What's going wrong
I aint seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong

And that's why (I can't imagine when)
i'm so grateful (that you are here)
I feel the sunshine (when you appear)
Girl you changed my life (my whole life around)
You make me see (you make fun of me)
See I never (want this to die)
All of life just (should never ever end)
Now there's four (shake and move the floor)
The more we listen (the more we know)
Let?s take a stand (before taking three)
For today (today is all we see) SEE!

Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.
Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.

You know I love (the way you hold me tight)
I tell all the girls (don't even try)
I found the women (of my life)
I don't even (have to think twice)
Took me places, baby (I never go)
Cause I sit back (cause she's a show)
What i'm thinking (she's thinking too)
Girl I swear (i'm never leaving you)
When you put your hand in mine (and you're in my hand)
I know that we (will be the best of friends)
Who would have thought (after all this time)
We?d be searching (for another life)
How could love (ever fool us both)
After we took turns (reap sights of old)
Girl it makes me (want to cry)
Cause now we're living (separate lives) separate lives!

Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.
(So tricky, baby)
Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.
(Somebody help me out right here, come on now?)
Fall in love,
Sho? enough gone be tricky baby.
We try ? we try, baby!
See-EE!

Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.
Falling in love can be easy,
Staying in love is too tricky.

You can scream my name
And you'd be glad you came
Let's talk a walk

(Walk outside)

She so sexy, the way she talks, the way she walks
It really drives me crazy, I think I like you girl
Enjoys the moment, and takes her time, and does it right
Cause she not just the average, I really like you girl

And something about her lips, the way she kiss
The way she rocks them hips yo
I see I like you, sure do, Oh then she'll look, and it's so sweet
It knocks me right up off my feet, now baby, I see I like ya suga

Oh, Girl I'll never give you up
Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Oh oh oh , here I stand and when I fall (When I fall)
Only you'll come back for more
Greatest love I'll ever see
And girl your love just can't be beat!

Girl you, got me, thinking, bout you, everyday
I'm not complaing, nooo
I wanna say, her touch, her smile, keeps me, livin right
I gotta say, she's the best for me
(I guess I tried and tried), to hide the way I feel
I can't explain it, (can't explain it)

So I can tell the world, you got my heart
I love your mind design

Oh, Girl I'll never give you up
Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Oh, here I stand and when I fall

Oh, Girl I'll never give you up
Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Let me tell you about my day, it's such a very long day
It started around seven and I can hear her pray
That is why I love Sunday mornings even when it was cold
There was always something burning that was good for my soul

As I walk through the yard I could feel your presence
Giving me the time of my life and showering me with life's lessons
Now I know what they mean when they say keep your head to sky
And don't be to quick to fit in and don't feel you have to try

This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes, sometimes

I am so proud people see the young man I came to be
With lifelong struggles you kept a smile on my face
And as I am looking all around me I say how can I ever repay you?
Mama was worth more than gold and she always tried to tell me

This road is strange, so strange, strange my dear
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
And no matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

There's have been a few days when people truly let me down
And said crucial things just to bring me down
And they will rob beg and cheat just for the own self-motives and greed
But I guess it ain't nothing new just something I gotta go through

This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it really hurts sometimes yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

Now how much more can I take before I shot to kill
Don't let them mess with your heart
'Cause what you feel is very real, yeah, yeah

You know it makes me cry sometimes baby, sometimes
Yes it does
Out of all the days and all the stories you taught me about
You know it still hurts inside yeah, sometimes, sometimes

I go through life with my hands in the air saying oh Lord help me there
Oh, it hurts sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes
Nobody can tell me better than you about these things I will go through
Oh, it hurt sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes

I say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes

You know you saved me from myself
You knew I needed help
Now many girls consume my time
and all of this hurts my life
And there you were

Oh girl (oh girl)
Oh girl (oh girl)
Oh girl (oh girl...oh girl)
You changed my world
Oh girl (and...oh girl)

I promise I won't let you down
I'll make (imma make you so proud)
you proud
I promise I won't let you down
I'm gonna make you so proud
I'll keep you hear next to mine
And I'll be everything you need
Believe me girl

Oh girl (oh girl)
Oh girl (oh girl)
Oh girl (oh girl...oh girl)
You changed my world
Oh girl (and...oh girl)
You changed my world
You changed my world
and...love you girl
oh how can I repay you
You changed my world
You changed my world
