Oh Baby, Baby, Oh Oh Baby ......

When did you stop loving me
What did I do so wrong that you want to leave
When did you stop wanting me
No letters, no calls , girl you know I needed
Baby this thing has took its tole on my mind,
My Body, and soul

[Chorus]

Can't get you out of my system
Out of my head, out of my future,out of my bed
I hear your name, I see your face,
I lose all composure,
I need to see you one more time
I need closure.

Can we go somewhere baby
and talk about
all the things I did to stress you out.
I wont be satisfied
til I understand why
Why you aint here in my life
Can you just give me that much?
Dont leave me hanging without a crutch.

[Chorus]

Why - that is the question
Everyday, I ask myself, since you went away.
I wasn't perfect, tell me were you?
You said everyday "I Love You"

But you don't have to cry

Chorus

And whenever he won't do you
The way you want him to don't cry
Baby you're the air I breath
And I give the world to see you smile

Verse 2

Now you open up your eyes to see

Let him go just like a stormy breeze
I'll bring out your sun
Now your pain is in the past dry your eyes
And all I ask is one more thing

When your all alone, waiting by the phone
And he don't call smile baby

No more lonely nights
Baby won't you smile for me

Repeat Chorus

Verse 1
How do you say, Its over and still be friends?
We got so much in common
I just can't be her man
I can't be her man no, no
I love her but I'm not in love
She got my child, she got my baby
she got my baby
She can be so vindictive
What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do now?

Chorus

Sometimes I just wanna throw up my hands
but that's not the real manly thing to do oh no
Sometimes I just wanna give up and quit
To hell with it
What about my child? what about my child?
No matter how hard I try to do right
I can't win for loosen, no I can't win for loosen
Say my heart means well but I always fail
I can't win for loosen

Verse 2

No matter what step I take
its always in the wrong direction
No matter how close I come
to getting it right its never perfection
No way, now how

Verse 3

How many bumps and bruises can you take
before it looks like a TKO?
And how many hearts and promises
must you break before you leave it alone?
Let it got, let it go, let it go

Chorus

Just want to throw my hands up in the air
and say, "forget it baby"
How hard I try to do right
I can't win, I can't win
I can't win for loosen oh no
My heart means well but I always fail
I can't win for loosen, say I can't
can't win for loosen
no I can't, ohhh no, no matter how hard I try
I can't win, I can't win, I can't win, I can't win, no
can't win say, say, I can't win, I can't win,
I can't win, I can't win

No matter how hard I try
I can't, I can't win
No matter what I do
Just want to throw my hands up and say
oh baby, think I gotta, think I gotta
let it go, looks like another love TKO
Say no matter how hard
No matter, no matter how hard
No matter how hard
I can't win for loosen
I can't win for loosen

It's the same ol, same ol things we go through
You not trusting me, and me not trusting you

Verse 1

So you think I've been (moving around)

But now I'm going all out it;s the same ol thing

Chorus

How many secrets are you keeping?

Repeat chorus twice

Baby I tried (to do)
What was right (by you)
And it wouldn't hurt less if I didn't love you (but I do)
When did you become so conniving?
And don't you go and start that crying

Chorus

Baby you know I know you, I know you baby, baby
You can fool some of the people some of the time
but you can't fool the one you love no no
I don't trust you baby as far as I can throw you
and that aint too far, that aint too far baby, baby
Same ol thing, same ol thing, same ol thing
Far as i can throw you, far as I can see you

Got a baby in my hand and your momma on the phone

(Featuring Sean Levert And Joe Little III)

Everyday, everyday, everyday
I need to see your face

Verse 1

Stress has got me going
I been here at work to long
Damn is it gonna be every time they call
I can't wait till I get home
And when I walk through the door
You know then it's you I'm looking for
To brighten up my cloudy day
And make the rain go away
Just like you did yesterday

Chorus

Girl I need you to
Make my day, make my day
I had a real bad day
Lay me down and
Make my day, make my day
Make me a better day

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2

Come lay down over here
Rub your fingers through my hair
Kiss me and tell me what I need to hear
Then love me till you take me there
You know exactly what to do
To keep me coming home to you
You take away my rainy day
And make the clouds go away
When I'm not having a good day

Chorus repeat twice

Ad-lib

Just rub my back
With that thing that I like
Make my favorite meal
Its going down tonight
It's my day, day, day, day
Light a candle, turn on the radio
Be ready, set, cause here we go
It's my day, day, day, day

Chorus/adlib/fade

Since I woke up this morning
And my car wouldn't start
Then I went to work
Nearly lost my job, nearly lost my job
Aint nothing going my way
Lay me down and, yeah yeah
Make my day

[Verse 1]

I recalled when we first met, a long
time ago. How could I forget the way
I felt, when I first laid eyes on
you. I remember saying to my friends,
there is my future wife; and then, I
took the steps to meet someone who
would change my life.

It had to be my destiny

[Chorus:]

Cuz, I was made to love ya/my hands
to touch ya/my arms to hold ya/my legs
to stand/my time to spend,with you
forever. I was made, made to love ya.
My lips to kiss ya/my eyes to see
you/my legs to stand/my time to spend
with you forever and ever. I was made
[I was made] made to love ya [made to
love ya.]

[Verse 2]

I remember our first date, our first
argument. Our very first break up to
make up, that got us to this moment.
And every girlfriend and every one
night stand, every heartbreak, every
heartache, led me to ya, it drove me
to ya, made me better, better suited
for ya.

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Repeat Chorus with adlibs]

I was made, made, my lips to kiss,
these eyes of mine, oh baby, baby,
baby, together, I was made, I was made
to love you, love you, my hands. Only
you me and God knows, how deep this
love goes, baby ,oh baby, baby, I was
made, my lips to kiss you, my eyes
to see you, my legs to stand for you
and only you baby. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh

[Repeat Chorus]

I was made to love you, all over the
world you will be girl baby, Baby, oh
oh , forever and ever. How long is
eternity? That's how long we'll be
together. Forever. My legs won't stand
without ya. No, No, No, No, No, Oh! made
to love you baby From head to toe, only
you, me and God knows. I was made, made
to ya

Now we're looking face to face
and eye to eye
baby I can feel your pain,
he aint doing you right.
Think of all the time you waste
you tried and tried
he never really knew your worth
but you don't have to cry

and whenever he won't do you the way you want him to
don't cry
(I'll be there no more hurt, no more pain)
baby you're the air I breath
and I give the world to see you smile
(all I want is to see you smile for me)

now you open up your eyes to see
he's not the one
let him go just like a stormy haze
i'll bring out your sun
now your pain is in the past
dry your eyes
and all I ask just one more thing
let me see you smile

[chorus]

[chorus]

when your all alone - smile
waiting by the phone - smile
and he don;t call - smile for me
i'll be by your side - smile
no more lonley nights - smile, smile for me
baby won;t you smile for me

[chorus]
[chorus]

[Spoken]
Its days like this
I can’t help but think of you
Makes me wanna sing

[Singing]
Sittin’ here in my room
Wonderin’ what you’re doin’
I started hum – min up a tune
It sounded so sweet
Like you thought about, the good the bad,
The times we laughed, when we were sad,
I think about, your mom and dad, and your family

[Chorus]
But no matter how far
You’ll be in my heart
And wherever you are you should know
That you’re forever loved
Forever joy, forever girl, I’m your forever boy
And we’re forever one, forever sweet,
Forever yoooouuuu, forever me

No matter what, you do in life
I always know, you’ll do it right
And that’s what, makes you so special to me,
So every year, about this time, the day they call valentine,
I hope that you at least, think of me

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

But no matter how far (how far)
You’ll be in my heart (be in my heart)
And wherever you are you should know
That you’re forever loved

You’re my forever girl
(I said I really love you baby)
I’ll be your forever boy

[Ad lib out]

I've been up, I've been down
Been through changes and turned around
Chasing my dreams I reall need y'all (necessary)
Wanna come wanna go, it's just a house when your all alone
Did I get my wish?
Is this what will wished?
I don't want it then, tell me

What do you do with a dream and no love
It's lonely to bed lonely waking up
That's not enough
That's not what I want
What do you do
What do with a dream and no one to share it with (naw, naw)
It's lonely to bed lonely getting up
That's not enough (naw)
That's not what I want

See, see

My friends think I've changed but my heart and my soul is the same
They just can't see (naw)
I'm a man that's in need
Oh, I can't fake (fake)
And I can't front (front)
Really need me a woman to love
But she never come
Dreams unfulfilled with no love

What do you do?

What do with a dream and no love (with a dream, with a dream)
It's lonely to bed lonely waking up
And that's not enough, no baby that's not what I want

No, no, no, no, no

See I'm calling (I'm calling) for someone (for someone)
To fill my emptiness
Can you hear me (hear me)
Well I'm sending out an S.O.S.
I'm in distress (yes I am)

Now what do you do
What do you do with a dream and no love

It's lonely at the top when you ain't got nobody
Nobody to love (naw naw naw naw)
That's not what I want
That's not what I want
I betcha my family share my dream with me
Have a little wine with me
Picture that baby
I don't want to be alone (no no no no no no)
What do you want
What do you do with a dream, a dream and no love
It's lonely to bed, it's lonely when you wake up
No one to keep you warm...[fade]
