(Voice on telephone):
If you'd like to make a call,
Please hang up and try again.
If you need help,
Hang up and then dial your operator.

Intro by JD:
Live from College Park,
Still kickin' it you know,
Another year another hit,
S@#t, nigga you can't fade this.

Verse (Kandi):
If the music makes you move,
And you can fell the groove,
Then groove on, groove on.
If you feel like you wanna make love,
Under the stars above,
Then love on, love on.
If there's something you wanna say,
'Cos talking is the only way,
Then rap on, rap on.
'Cos whatever you do,
Oh, you gotta do your thang


. . .



Intro by JD:
Yo, it's Xscape,
For the nine-five,
And you know how they do,
So lay back, kick it,
and let's get live.

Verse One (Kandi):
Ladies, who often do you have,
A man that makes you wanna cry,
A man that makes you wanna laugh.
Sisters, well I think I've found the one,
He does everything I like,
And knows haw to get the job done.
He makes me...

Chorus:
Clap my hands, stomp my feet,
Every little thing that you do to me,
Feels so good, feels so good.
(Repeat x2)

Verse Two (Kandi):
Ladies, never have I felt this way before,
He makes me feel so good,
And keeps me warm.
He makes me feel so good,
So good from my head to my toes.
All the things that this man does,
Everyone should know.
And I...

Break (LaTocha):
Don't ever wanna lose this feeling,
His love is real,
I'm willing to stay right by his side,
'Cause I know he'll always be mine.
The way he touch me makes me lose my control,
And when you have a man like this,
Love dictates your soul.
He makes me...

Repeat Chorus (twice)

Outro by JD:
This is for those that like to pop the trunk and let it bump, b-bump.
(Repeat x4)

Repeat Chorus to fade

Verse One (Tamika):
Time has been short since you left me,
So I can't help but think,
Of how things between us used to be.
You were a piece of my heart,
And I thought we were swell,
Until you told me you were leaving,
To find a better life for yourself.
Oh I...

Chorus:
I wish we were together again,
Loving the way we used to love,
Boy I miss you much.
I wish we were together again,
Oh how I'm missing you,
It's so hard for me to say goodbye.

Verse Two (Kandi):
You know that I love you,
And for you there ain't nothing in this world,
That I won't do.
If you would only come back to me,
And let me show you how loving me could be.

Bridge:
(Tiny):
I, I've got feelings,
But you act like you don't care,
You treat me so unfair.
(Tamika):
Love has no meaning,
Since you walked right out my life.
You've touched a part of me,
Can't you see that I'm in need of you?

Repeat Chorus to fade


. . .



(feat. MC Lyte)
Intro by JD:
Let's get down
Let's get down

Verse One (Kandi):
You claim you've been waiting,
With no game, just anticipating,
How it would be if you and I were in the sack
But to me you look like you wouldn't know how to act

Bridge (LaTocha):
I need someone to hold me,
All night long.
It must be you my darling,
Am I wrong.
It ain't a damn thing baby,
Show me what you can bring,
Cause some try to swang but they still can't hang.

Chorus:
You and me let's get down,
Even though you claim that you've been around,
I betcha can't hang,
I betcha can't hang.
(Repeat x2)

Verse Two (Kandi):
You claim you can do this, this and that,
Ain't no shame in my game,
If it's wack I gotta tell you that.
So you betta be up on your down stroke,
You gotta know how to keep this boat afloat,
Cause in my mind I think your gonna slip baby.

Repeat Break and Chorus

Rap by MC Lyte:
You talk a lot of this and you talk a lot of that,
Is it all fact brotha man are you phat?
Cause if it's on the real I come with mad sex appeal,
Flip light delicious, you know the deal.
Hey that's me, I be the slick,
The one with the physique,
I freak you in the sheets.
I take a nigga deep down under,
I make him wonder,
How to make the lighting come before the thunder.
That's the pleasure I bring,
I make a nigga get up and sing,
Tinga linga ling ling.
I got the pow, da boogie and the bang bang
You can't hang don't talk da game

Repeat Chorus


. . .



Verse One:
(LaTocha):
As I stand here contemplating,
On the right thing to decide.
Will I take the wrong direction,
All my life, where will I go,
What lies ahead of me?
(Tamika):
I have strong determination,
And I'm not afraid of change.
I have yet to find that someone,
Who would care to satisfy me,
To stay right by me.

Chorus:
Who can I run to,
To share this empty space?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?
Who can I run to,
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?

Verse Two:
(Tiny):
And my mind is so confusing,
Who would be that special one?
Everyday I'm trying to find you,
All along, I've got to know,
Is there a place for me?
(LaTocha):
I know love has many names,
And a message very clear.
All it takes is time and patience,
To bring you near,
But look at me, tell me

Repeat Chorus


. . .

. . .



Intro (Tiny):
Hey baby, I wanna know one thing...
Do you want me as much as I want you?
Say you do.

Verse One:
(Tiny):
Never should have kissed you,
Never made that call.
I told myself,
In love I shouldn't fall.
Would've been a pleasure,
Just to know your name.
Look at me, silly me,
Now I'm back in love again.
(LaTocha):
And there's nothing you can tell me,
Nothing I can do.
I just hope that you're in love with me,
The way that I'm in love with you.

Chorus:
Do you want to,
Like I want to be in love with you.
Say you do.
Do you want to,
Like I want, I want to make love to you.
Say you do.

Verse Two:
(Tiny):
Never understand it,
Loving takes control.
Oh, I ask myself,
Girl, should you let it go?
That would be too crazy,
Life without you know.
Hate to think of it happening,
That you won't be around.
(LaTocha):
Now there's something you can show me,
Something you can say.
Promise me you'll stay with me,
Until my dying day.

Repeat Chorus

Break:
(Tiny):
Now my deep emotions
Have completely come over me.
I'm into you, I'm loving you too deep,
Oh, yes I am.
(LaTocha):
Should have seen it coming,
Felt my heart beating much too weak.
I can't control, I can't let go,
Of you baby, you baby, you.

Repeat Chorus to fade

Outro:
(Tiny):
Did it feel good to you, baby,
Like it felt good to me.
Do you want it again baby, baby,
'Cause I want it right now, yes I do.
(LaTocha):
Sometimes I cry, baby,
Sometimes I weep at night, baby.
Take me, take me, tell me you love me, baby,
Say you really, really love me, baby.
Sometimes I can't sleep at night,
'Cause I want you right here by my side.
Baby, baby, baby,
Say you want to make love to me, baby,
Like I do to you


. . .



Verse One (LaTocha):
My man done left me on a midnight train,
He said he wasn't thinking of ever coming back again.
He told me he wanted me to find somebody else,
He done left me here all by myself.
Tell me...

Chorus:
What can I do?
What, I'm still in love with you.
Tell me what can I do?
What, I'm still in love with you baby.

Verse Two (LaTocha):
When it first started it was all good,
The things you done to me I never thought that you would.
Didn't give me a reason why it had to end,
I can't believe you left me for another ladyfriend.

Bridge:
(Kandi):
You know I've been searching for someone,
Who could share that special love with me.
(Tamika):
I thought you was the one, I gave my trust to you,
I'm such a fool, I want you back,
Tell me what am I to do?

Repeat Chorus

Break (LaTocha):
I'm sitting by the phone, all alone,
Tell me what can I do, tell me, tell me...

Repeat Chorus to fade


. . .



Verse One (Kandi):
We've been to the movies once or twice,
Had a candlelight dinner baby,
That was oh so nice.
I enjoy all the times at the fair,
And walking hand in hand on the beach,
With the wind in my hair.

Bridge (Kandi):
Oh I really like all the things you do,
But right about now my body's calling you.
It seems like, it seems like,
It's time to put all of that to the side.
There's a time and place for everything,
And at this time all I ask you bring is yourself,
Cos tonight is just for you and me.
I want you to...

Chorus (Kandi):
Let the night wind down baby
Fall into my groove
And meet me at my house
To do like true lovers do
I want you to...
Let the night wind down baby
Fall into my groove
And meet me at my house
To do like true lovers do

Verse Two (LaTocha):
When you come through my doors,
Take off your clothes.
I ain't got all mine baby,
So you won't need yours.
The places I'ma take you,
You won't be needing them.
So let's stop all this talking,
And let the party begin.

Repeat Bridge (LaTocha)

Repeat Chorus to fade

Outro:
Let me show you how to love me,
Let me show you where to touch me,
Let me show you how to groove me.
(Repeat x2)


. . .



Verse One (Kandi):
Play me some music, and pour me some wine.
I'm in the mood now, I got love on my mind.
I want you to know, that I like it real slow.
And whenever your ready, you can slide off my clothes.
And touch my body, anywhere,
I'm yours tonight, Make it right,
Baby just take me there.

Chorus:
Take your time and work me slowly (work it),
Cause I'm the kind of girl,
Who needs the kind of guy,
That can last, (work it).
Don't need a man around,
If his's throwin down too fast,
You gotta work me slowly.

Verse Two (Kandi):
Now change your position, and keep it right there.
Just go with my motions, rub you hands through my hair.
I hope you don't mind it, if I let out a scream,
Cause it's feeling to good to me, it's more than I dreamed.
It's more than pleasure, it's ecstasy,
Up and down, Round and round,
Baby just come with me, Take your time.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge (LaTocha):
Then in the morning,
We'll do it all over again,
(Do it all over again)
I don't want this feeling to never end.
I can't believe how your loving me,
You give me all,
I can't believe your still stroking me,
Cause baby your taking it all.

Repeat Chorus


. . .



Intro:
Shoop be doop
Shoop be doop doop dah
Shoop be doop
Love's a funny thing

Verse One:
(Tamika):
Was only last night I felt you slip away,
I tried so hard to hide the pain inside of me babe.
I held you close but you weren't with me,
I felt your mind a thousand miles away.
(Tiny):
I was a fool to let you break me down,
You think by now that I would know,
Just what to expect from you, oh.
Everytime I fall, I make myself believe,
That you are changing,
And some day, the sun will shine through.

Chorus:
Love is a funny thing,
Your love is a funny thing,
Love is a funny thing,
Oooh.

(I don't wanna fall, don't wanna fall in love again)

Verse Two:
(LaTocha):
When I first met you your heart was empty,
You were innocent and so full of joy.
But now you've changed and I don't know you,
You played me baby like a toy.
(Tiny):
You see, I was surprised to see you with that girl,
When you said you'd never ever ever ever see her again, no.
I don't want to control you, so baby if she's gonna hold you,
Then why don't you just stay, stay where you've been.

Repeat Chorus
(I never never wanna fall again, no no no)

Bridge (Kandi):
Everybody needs someone to hold them through the night,
And everybody needs someone to tell them it's alright.
I gave you my heart and you only turned away,
So tell me baby, what's going to make you stay.

Repeat Chorus
(I never ever want to fall in love again)

Shoop be doop
Shoop be doop doop dah
Shoop be doop
Love's a funny thing
(repeat to fade)


. . .



No no,
Tell me, tell me.

Keep it on the real,
(the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real).

Verse One (Kandi):
Trust is something that we can't live without,
Honesty must be there, ain't got no room for no doubt.
Reality can't waste no more of our precious time,
Trying to escape the pressures of our mind.

Chorus:
I don't ask for much, no no,
Baby if you want me you gotta tell me something, yeah.
All I want from you is just to keep it comin',
Keep it on the real.
(the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real)

Verse Two (Kandi):
Faithfully I'll give my loving to you,
Soulfully our spirits will make it through.
Respect me baby and I'll respect you,
What more can two lovers do?

Repeat Chorus to fade
