When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise

[Chorus:]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land

[Chorus]

I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

[Chorus]

So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

. . .


I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

[Chorus:]
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

[Chorus]

Give my all for your love
Tonight

. . .


(I got you stuck off the realness)
(I got you stuck off the realness)

It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
That warm November night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark

[Chorus:]
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

And so we finished the Moet
And started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
In your arms
(You took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)

[Chorus]

. . .


Trembling
Starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine...

It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it swept over me
Like the wind through the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I've never truly felt the way that I
Felt that Fourth of July

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

. . .


Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down

You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

[Chorus:]
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

[Chorus]

Yeah, c'mon
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon
Break break down
Gotta get control
Roll roll roll along
Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll roll along
Break break down
Gotta get control
Roll roll roll along
Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll along

It'll break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crucial situation wrackin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it
Forget it

I've been feelin' like you're breakin' me down
Kickin' me around
Stressin' me out
I think I better go and get out and let me
Release some stress (stress)

Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
Hoping for the sun
But it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
Oh, i just wanna maintain

Yeah, when you feel the pressure's on
But nevertheless
Krayzie won't fall
It's over
It's endin' here, here

[Chorus]

. . .


It's 2:11 and I'm stressing
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn't called me
So I'm gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I'll just check my machine
Again and again because I'm
Obsessing on you

[Chorus:]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me
You wanna be my babydoll

Zoning out thinking about
You and me between the sheets
I want to get intimate
But you're not within my reach
So I'll have a little more wine
And I'll try to drink you
Out of my head
And I'll lay awake awhile
'Til I'm high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again

[Chorus]

Slipping into dreams
I feel my love surround you
My subconscious seems
To weave itself around you
Do you care for me
Beyond idolization
Tell me how you feel
But don't keep me at bay
'Cause I won't be waiting long

[Chorus]

I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And cuddle up next to me
C'mon and be my babydoll

[Chorus]

. . .


I was wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know

[Chorus:]
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

[Chorus]

Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time

Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)

[Chorus]

. . .


Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one

[Chorus:]
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised

[Chorus]

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside

[Chorus]

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call

[Chorus]

. . .


Don't be afraid to fly
Spread your wings
Open up a door
So much more inside

Don't
Be afraid to fly
Come spread your wings and just fly with me and you'll see why
It's alright to
Fly
Fly
Just fly
Just fly
Don't be afraid
Don't let your spirit die
Just

[Chorus (repeat):]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid to fly
Fly
So much more inside
Come spread your wings and just flutter right into the sun

Don't be afraid to fly
Don't be afraid to just fly
You
You have become a butterfly
Don't be afraid to just fly
(Spread your wings)
Prepare to fly

Butterflies
Are free to fly
Fly away
Bye bye
Butterflies
(You have become a butterfly)
Are free to fly
Fly away
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
Butterflies
Are free to fly
Bye bye

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
(Spread your wings and fly)
For you have become a butterfly
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Bye bye
Fly away
Fly
Bye bye
Fly away
Fly
Butterfly

Baby, baby, baby
What's it gonna be
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me
Don't make me waste my time
Don't make me lose my mind baby

Baby, baby, baby
Can't you stay with me tonight
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't my kisses please you right
You were so hard to find
The beautiful ones
They hurt you everytime

Paint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one's mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always everytime

If I told you baby
That I was in love with you
Oh baby, baby, baby
If we get married
Would that be cool
You make me so confused
The beautiful ones
You always seem to lose

Do you want him
Or do you want me
'Cause I want you...

. . .


It's hard to explain
Inherently it's just always been strange
Neither here nor there
Always somewhat out of place everywhere
Ambiguous
Without a sense of belonging to touch
Somewhere halfway
Feeling there's no one completely the same

[Chorus:]
Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it's good enough to be what
You really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

Early on, you face
The realization you don't have a space
Where you fit in
And recognize you
Were born to exist

[Chorus]

And it's hard
And it's hard
And it's hard

Irreversibly
Falling in between
And it's hard
And it's hard
To be understood
As you are
As you are
Oh, and God knows
That you're standing on your own
Blind and unguided
Into a world divided
You're thrown
Where you're never quite the same
Although you try - try and try
To tell yourself
You really are
But in your heart - uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the outside
You'll always be
Somewhere on the outside

. . .


If Jermaine likes it, he do
You know what? Y'all ain't ready for this
Still scrambling from the damage of the last remix
Most of your stories bore me I love to lie
To my royalties be the glory Mariah my honey be fly

Ah me and B R, B R
Usually seen in hot spots jumpin' outta two seaters
We got money to make and many records to break
We not sometimes to any so make no mistake
Listen, so so def

Oh, honey, you can have me, when you want me
You can simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one, who makes me come running
'Cause what you got, is far beyond compare, ooh

And it's just like honey when your love comes over me
Oh baby I've got a dependency
Always strung out for another taste of your honey

It's like when it rushes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you, crying for you, I adore you
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you darling, don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

Honey I can't describe, how good it feels inside
Honey I can't describe, how good it feels inside

Yeah, ooh, I can't be elusive with you honey
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feeling you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing I wanna do

Y'all be saying this and that
But y'all don't wanna see this new phenomenon
This Don Chi Chi, it's somethin' nasty
Word to B.I.G. I'm in it for life, dead president for life
And by the minute I get more nice
I'm the J E R the M A I N don't forget the E
And she go by the unforgettable name
Of the B To the R To the A To the T

I like colloso size pieces of rocks
And getting pushed in the Bentley drop top
Undefeated indefinitely, don't stop
We rock in all kinds of spots, calling all the shots
And y'all knows how we get down
My beliefs is being dolla bill seeker
And a Benjamin keeper, don't mind popping if y'all
Or slow wind with some clown with seven digit accounts

They say, "Hey, JD won't you play that song?
And Keep 'em dancing all night long
Hey, JD won't you play that song?
Keep 'em dancing all night long"
They say, "Hey, JD won't you play that song?
And Keep 'em dancing all night long
Hey, JD won't you play that song?
Keep 'em dancing all night long"

It's like when it rushes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you, crying for you, I adore you
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you darling, don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

It's like when it rushes over me

Te estoy pensando
En mi larga noche en soledad
Si el error fue amarte
En mi corazon vuelvo a estar mal
Porque estoy en ti
Y no se vivir
Si a mi lado no estas

Mi todo yo te doy
Por una noche mas
Y asi poder sentir
Tu cuerpo junto a mi
Ya no puedo estar
Reviviendo aqui nuestra cancion
Mi todo, todo doy por tener tu amor

Dime si me sientes
Imaginando verme frente a ti
Y en mis sue?os logro descubrir
Siempre estas presente
Que aunque ya no esta mi estrella fugaz
Te deseo alcanzar

Mi todo yo te doy
Por una noche mas
Y asi poder sentir
Tu cuerpo junto a mi
Ya no puedo estar
Reviviendo aqui nuestra cancion
Mi todo, todo doy por tener tu amor

[guitar break]

Mi todo yo te doy
Por una noche mas
Y asi poder sentir
Tu cuerpo junto a mi
Ya no puedo estar
Reviviendo aqui nuestra cancion
Mi todo, todo doy por tener tu amor

Mi todo yo te doy, mi amor
Mi amor
