Toni Braxton Album

Your love's so exciting
Boy I can't deny it
Since you found a place in my heart
Givin' me a feeling
Ooh it's such a feeling
I pray that we never will part
How can I explain it
Please hear what I'm sayin'
You bring so much so much joy to my life
Words cannot express
So much happiness
I'll forever be by your side

And I will give you my heart
And I will always be true to you
And I will love you forever

If I could just make love to you
Make love to you
Girl I must confess it
You've been such a blessing
Never felt so good in my life
You know how to take it
I know how to give it
We both always have a good time
I hear what you're sayin'
Lord knows you ain't playin'
Ain't no doubt that I'm satisfied
And I'll keep it comin'
Keep bringin' the lovin'
So baby bring your lovin'
Every morning, noon, and night

[HOOK (2 times)]

Oh give me just a minute and
I'll jump right on in it
We can make love under the stars
All year pleasure pleasure
I'll be yours forever
Girl, I'll never leave now
I'll be there to please you
We won't have to worry at all

[HOOK (3 times)]

I will go all the way down
I'll make it feel so good
I wanna do you right
If I could just make love to you

(Babyface, Daryl Simmons, Bo Watson)

Should I even listen
Should I even try
Will I just be hearing the same old lines
Baby
See it doesn't matter
What you say this time
Cause our whole relationship
Is built on one lie
You say things aren't the way they seem
But still you can't come straight with me

How can you think that you're in love
When you don't know the meaning of

Love Shoulda brought you,
Brought you,
Home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Baby
If you cared anything for me
Then love woulda brought you
To me last night

Gotta hand it to ya
Ya had me there for a while
I was so in love with you
I couldn't see past your smile
Now I smell the coffee
Boy, I got a wake up call
And it left the message
That you just don't care at all
You can't expect me to
Believe that she doesn't mean anything
You say that you love only me
Your kinda lovin' my darling
I just don't need

Love Shoulda brought you,
Brought you,
Home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Baby
If you cared anything for me
Then love woulda brought you
To me last night

Then you woulda been sincere
And I wouldn't be in tears
And love woulda brought you
To me last night
Oh baby why
Why do men think that love's just for the moment
Not over time
Please tell me why
Why should I think that
You're gonna be sincere
Are you deservin'
Don't blame me if
I just don't believe,
I just don't believe
That you'll allways be here

Love Shoulda brought you,
Brought you,
Home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Baby
If you cared anything for me
Then love woulda brought you

(Babyface, Daryl Simmons)

Since you been gone
I been hangin' around here lately
With my mind messed up
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
Didn't help me
I guess I'm all messed up now baby
Soon as I jumped into my ride
Those memories start to play
A song comes on the radio
And there U are baby once again

It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you

Since you been gone
I keep thinkin' about you baby
Gets me all choked up
This heart of mine keeps
Dreamin' of you and it's crazy
You'd think I'd had enough
As soon as I get you out my head
I'm in your car again
Just one request from the radio
I'm back in love sugar once again

It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you

Here comes the strings
Then somebody sings
Only takes a beat
And then it starts killin' me darlin'
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
From that radio
It's just
Another
Lonely

(Babyface)

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again

And I can't stop thinkin' about
About the way things used to be
And I can't stop thinkin' about
About the love that you make to me
And I can't get you outta my head
How in the world will I begin
To let you walk right out my life
And blow my heart away

And I can't stop carin' about
About the apple of my eye
And I can't stop doin' without
Without the center of my life
And I can't get you outta my head
And I know I can't pretend
That I won't die if you decide
You won't see me again

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again

And I can't stop thinkin' about
About the way my life would be
No I can't stop thinkin' about
How could your love be leavin' me
And I can't get you outta my mind
God knows how hard I tried
And if you walk right out my life
God knows I'd surely die
And I can't stop doin' without
Without the rythm of my heart
No I can't stop doin' without
For I would surely fall apart
And I can't get you outta my mind
Cause I know I can't deny it
And I would die if you decide
You won't see me again

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again

(Babyface, Antonio Reid)

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own

Darlin'
Darlin'
You know if you cared anything about love
You woulda been front and center
Lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey
Honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You woulda been much more tender
Ooh squeezin' me, caressin' me
You coulda had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
You had to be tough
You told your friends
You had me wrapped around your finger
You were talking kinda cocky
Like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew
That things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own

Sugar
Sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You woulda been talkin' to me
Everyday
Seven days a week
Baby
Baby
You shoulda been givin' me
A little more time
But you were just much too busy
Abusin' me and usin' me
I woulda done about anything
Ya wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy about you
When I was sittin' thinkin'
I was kinda special
You were runnin' round
Hittin' every other girl in town
How could you love me
When you knew you played me funny
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own

Deep in my heart
You were number one to start
But then you changed
You threw my heart away
Told your friends that
You were runnin' thangs
Why'd it have to be that way
You're wrong
Dead wrong
Tell me how
How can we go wrong

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own

(Antonio Reid, Babyface, Daryl Simmons)

If you could give me one good reason
Why I should believe you
Believe in all the things that you tell
I would sure like to believe you
My heart wants to receive you
Just make me know that you are sincere
You know I'd love for you to lead me
And follow thru completely
So won't you give me all I ask for
And if you give your very best
To bring me happiness
I'll show you just how much I adore you

Cause you mean the world to me
You are my everything
I swear the only thing that matters
Matters to me
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby,
Baby, cause you mean so much
To me

Now it's gonna take some workin'
But I believe you're worth it
Long as your intentions are good
So good
There is just one way to show it
And boy I hope you know it
That no one could love you like I could
Lord knows I want to trust you
And always how I'd love you
I'm not sure if love is enough
And I will not be forsaken
And I hope there's no mistakin'
So tell me that you'll always be true

Cause you mean the world to me
You are my everything
I swear the only thing that matters
Matters to me
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby,
Baby, cause you mean so much
To me

There's a feeling in my heart
That I know I can't escape
So please don't let me fall
Don't let it be too late
There's a time when words are good
And they just get in the way
So show me how you feel
Baby I'm for real
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Cause you mean the world to me
You are my everything
I swear the only thing that matters
Matters to me
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby,
Baby, cause you mean so much

(Vincent Herbert, Toni Braxton)

Must have been heaven sent to me
Cause I never knew love like this
You know you make me feel
So good inside and boy,
It's a feeling I just can't hide
And baby words can't express my gratitude
For each and every little thing you do
I want to understand
You're all the man
That I love and I know
That I need and I want and more
Baby let me count the ways

How many ways, I love you
Let me count the ways
How many ways, I love you
Let me cont the ways

You know you're so very special to me my baby
I'll never let you go
When I'm with you
I feel so free I could count
From 1 up to 99 and still believe
Although sometimes now baby
We disagree
There ain't never or will
ever be another love for me
And I want you to know I appreciate
All the things that you do when you do
What you do for me
Darling let me count the ways

How many ways, I love you
Let me count the ways
How many ways, I love you
Let me cont the ways

1, 2 I love you
3, 4 So much more
5, 6 I can't get enough of this
7 let me show you my love
And take you to heaven
8, 9, 10 let me start love

Lyrics and Music by Babyface and Bryce Wilson

I'll always think of you
Inside of my private thoughts
I can imagine you
Touching my private parts
With just the thought of you
I can't help but touch myself
That's why I want you so bad
Just one night of
Moonlight, with you there beside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Can't get my mind off you
I think I might be obsessed
The very thought of you
Makes me want to get undressed
I wanna be with you
In spite of what my heart says
I guess I want you too bad
All I want is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
All night, doin it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise, ooh boy
You're makin me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby

I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me
Let's make a deal you roll, I lick
And we can go flying into ecstasy
Oh Darlin' you and me
Light my fire
Blow my flame

Lyrics and Music by Babyface

First thing Monday morning
I'm gonna pack my tears away
Got no cause to look back
I'm lookin' for me a better day
You see the thing 'bout love
Is that it's not enough
If the only thing it brings you is pain
There comes a time when we could all make a
change

Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right, Y'know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go

Don't nobody want no broke heart
And don't nobody want no two time losers
Ain't nobody gonna love you like you are
If you take whatever he brings your way
You see the thing of it
Is we deserve respect
But we can't demand respect without change
There comes a time when we must go our own way

Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right, Y'know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go

Sometimes love it can work out right
Sometimes you'll never know
But if it brings only pain in your life

Lyrics and Music by Diane Warren

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on

Lyrics by SoulShock & Karlin, Andrea Martin, Gloria Stewart
Music by SoulShock & Karlin for Soulpower

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

All those days and lonely nights
Have all gone away
I never thought the day would come
When we'd be more than friends
You made me smile when I was down
You turn my world around
The way you give me love feels so right

You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You were there for all my needs
So baby--stay

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

Just like a dream come true
I wished for you
I have never been so happy 'bout a love so new
You opened my heart to a brand new start
My love's there wherever you are
I won't let no one take you away

You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You were there yes indeed for all my needs--yes

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

'Cause you came along
And changed my life
Told me things would be all right
And they were thanks to you
And now I have the strength to carry on
In my heart you have a home
And I never want to be alone
I love me...

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you

Lyrics and Music by R. Kelly

I really don't feel like talking on the phone
And I really don't feel like company at home
Lately I don't want to do the things I used to do
Baby since I lost you

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I dont' want to live my life without you babe yeah
It's driving me crazy (crazy)

I really don't feel like smiling anymore
And I haven't had the peace to sleep at all
Ever since you went away, baby my whole life has changed
I don't want to love and I don't want to live

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I dont' want to live my life without you babe yeah
It's driving me crazy (crazy)

I don't wanna laugh, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna talk, I don't have nothing to say
I don't want to tour, forget the show how can I go on
Now that you're gone

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I dont' want to live my life without you babe yeah

Darkchild, oh yeah
Toni Braxton, oh
Ha-ha, uh-huh
Yeah, uh, uh
Darkchild yeah

Listen girl
Who do you think I am?
Don t you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?
Looking at me like I m hurt
When I m the one who said I didn t want it to work
Don t you forget I had him first?

1 C What you thinkin ?
Stop playing me
He wasn t man enough for me
If you don t know now here s chance
I ve already had your man
Do you wonder just where he s been, yeah?
Not be worried about him
Now it s time you know the truth
I think he s just the man for you

2 - What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back them?
Do you know about your husband, girlfriend?
I m not thinking bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn t man enough for me

Listen girl
Didn t he tell you the truth?
If not then why don t you ask him?
The maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worrying about me
And hopefully you won t find
All the reasons why his love didn t count
And why we couldn t work it out

Repeat 1

Repeat 2 (2x)

Oh yeah
So many reasons why are love is through, yeah
What makes you think he ll be good to you, no
It makes no sense cause he will never change
Girl you better recognize the game, oh yeah

What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back them?
Do you know about your husband, girlfriend?
I m not thinking bout him
But you married him
You know I made him leave
And you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn t man enough for me

Written by Toni Braxton, John'ta Austin, Teddy Bishop

Hey, hey hold up a minute
Let me stop up here and use this pay
Phone real quick
Hey, hey Toni, it's me, I was just calling
You know
Just calling to let you know, don't
Wait up for me tonight
I mean I just got a lotta things on my
Mind I gotta think about, you know
Just umm, I'll be over Brian's house,
You know, just for tonight
I mean, I know things are different, but
You know
It's not you, it's me, you know, it's
really me, you know
I mean basically, I just think I'm gonna
need some space

Why are you calling me on the phone
Why you not at home on time
You say you're staying over your
Friends
'Cuz you got a lot on your mind
Now you're swearing up and down that
It ain't me
Still you say that things have changed
So tell me what exactly does it mean
When you say you need your space

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now
Just be a man about it

I Mean, you gotta understand I love
You, you know what I'm saying
And I love you enough to say that I
Think,
I Think you deserve somebody better
Than me, you know
And right now, I can't give you what
You need, you know

I mean, I wanna love you, and I'm gonna
Love you, one day but, you know
I mean, you just gotta understand
Where I'm coming from

You say right now that you're not
What I'm looking for
And what you really need is time to
Grow
You're promising that one day you may
Come around
And I'm supposed to let that go
But where the hell do you get off
Telling me your mama said
I'm not what you need
Tell you what, since she knows it all
Then that's where you need to be

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now
Just be a man about it

Can you tell me how you can
Say you're in love and then
Treat me so bad
Boy, you know it just ain't right
I cannot believe the way you handled
Things
You want to lie

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now

feat. Loon

And we don t stop, no ma
What s the problem
Always complainin when there s chick are starvin
What type of game is this
I used to support ya
I thought you d appreciate some of these things that I
bought you
Shoes from Milan, Louis Vuitton
Animals on back and jewels on your arm
Mami, it s nothin to make moves with a Don
Loon the Big Fish, leave them fools in the pond

Just when I made up my mind
I thought but you would allow
You re hard to trust, you owe me
What makes you wanna call now

Can you try to tell me
What made you choose her as your friend {Chose you as
a friend, baby}
Just when I think you ve given up
It s you again

All I can say
Take away my lonely one
Nothing else can be done {So hit the freeway}
I don t ever wanna see you again
You didn t do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodbye {So hit the freeway}
Maybe in some other life I ll see you again

I would have bet the Dow Jones
If men compared to out of the fun, yeah
Imagine how crush it was
When you say I was not the one {Wait a minute, girl,
I m sorry bout that}

My friends say I was in denial
Defendin you as a perfect friend
Now how new is your love
I ll ask you again

Now all I can say
Take away my lonely one (Take away)
Nothing else can be done {So hit the freeway}
I don t ever wanna see you again {Sing it, girl}
You didn t do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodbye {So hit the freeway}
Maybe in some other life I ll see you again {Bridge}

Now that you ve left me
Crazy you upset me
You only could have kept me
But baby, you didn t get me home
To finally discover
Explorin covers
World as we know it
But you had to go and blow it

Damn, it s been so long
Since I head your voice last summer
To be honest it made me smile
When I seen you not with her {Hey, baby, you know I
miss you}

Will you tell me what I should feel
Instead of being your regret {You know}
Maybe some day in your dreams, my love
You could say, Damn, it s you again

Now all I can say
Take away my lonely one (Take away)
Nothing else can be done {So hit the freeway}
I don t ever wanna see you again (Don t wanna see you
again)
You didn t do me right so (Do me right, baby)
So long, goodbye (Bye, bye) {So hit the freeway}

Now what you need I got it
Hey yo Toni now what you need I got it
Darkchild now what you need you got it
Lets go

Let me tell you how it goes when I handle mines
You know who you with
No one else can cross the line
Your let it be known
I'm your girl that's why
There's no need to roam
You can just call me any time

Chorus:

What your looking for
You can find in me
All I want to do is spend sometime with you
All your fantasies will be reality
I'll be all that you dream
So come and be with me
And you'll see that
What you need
I've been waiting for you
So decide if you really want it
What you need
I've got more than enough
Believe it I've got it
What you need
I'll be available to you 24-7
What you need
I got all of me
Everything that you need
That you need 8x

Now that I've got your attention
Let me tell you how I feel
Ain't say this no more
Cause I'm laying it down for real
Ain't no need to go and cheat
There's no need to lie
Don't go wasting my time
Cause if your mine your all mine

Chorus

Look at me
Can't you see I've got what you need
If tonight is for real I'll give something to you too
Do you realize fantasize
What you want to do
Look around can't you see
I've got what you need

Lyrics and Music by Diane Warren

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights

Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on
