Work your thing out (out, out) [x4]

Cause so many you girls I hear you been running
From the beautiful queen that you can be becommin
You can look in my palm and see the storm coming
Read the book of my life and see of overcomming
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Wanna hold your head high cause you a pretty woman
Get your front way stride home and keep it going
Girl, live your life

Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me, follow me, follow me

Celebrating the things that everyone told me Would never happen but

And ain't a man alive could ever take it from me
Workin with what I got I gotta
Keep on taking care of myself

Ain't never ashamed what life did to me
Wasn't afraid to change

But it's something about this joint right here

Can't let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, going do what you want to do
Can't let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we

And no time for negative vibes, cause I'm winning

Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

So I like what I see when I'm looking at me

Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn't change my life, my life's just fine

Feels so good, when you're doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I'm not complaining
And I'm a still wear a smile if it raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I'm so glad I got mine

So I like what I see when I'm looking at me
When I'm walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I'm a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
You see I wouldn't change my life, my life's just...
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won't change my life, my life's just fine

(I ain't gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain't gon' let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say

Feels so good, when you're doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new

Lyrics(Won't you show and prove)
Feel like a woman.

[Verse 1:]
I'll admit things ain't been the way I thought they would be.
Didn't expect so much stress to develop between me and you.
I knew that it wasn't easy but sometimes when we fight it don't seems like God's design.
But then I hear words you said and I promised I would stand for you and be true through the bad and the good.
And I know what it means to be committed.
So here's a word for you but you just ain't with it.
Lyrics
[Chorus:]
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)
Stay down. (We took and passed the test)
Stay down. (Yeah, we gotta lot of work)
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
One day we'll look back on this. (Yeah)
We'll be like "Remember this"? (Remember this)
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
Cause in the end we stayed down.

[Verse 2:]
I ain't gone lie, at time you amaze me.
You be talking and I swear that you're crazy.
But I learned a long time ago that pride don't help.
It only hurts.
And I just want you to know... I need you baby.
(I need you)
I'm just like Weezy baby.
Not Weezy like the sauna baby.
But the wife of George and we're moving on up.
Ten years strong and we're looking like a plan.
I'm looking like your woman and you're looking like my man.
We looking like real.
And the haters look fake.
Especially when they hear me say...

[Chorus:]
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always have a place in my heart)
Stay down. (We took and passed the test)
Stay down. (You know we gotta lot of work)
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
One day we'll look back on this. (One day we'll look back on this.
We'll be like "Remember this"? (We'll be like "Remember this"?)
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
Cause in the end we stayed down. (Stayed down)

[Bridge:]
Understand you are the one of my heart.
(And I'm holding yours so we can't live apart)
When things stop making sense we'll figure it out.
(I walked into this and I don't wanna walk out no, no)
(Everything ain't gonna be how we like)
(And what is worth keeping if it didn't take a fight?)
(Your healing is in me and my healing is in you)
(So get your mind right cause this's what we're gonna do)

[Chorus:]

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind.
Cause I really don't wanna tell you how I am digging you so.
I can't let go.
But it hurts me to my soul.
To tell you every little thing that is on my mind.
I can't let you know so I hide it inside.
All my feelings for you.
Don't want you to let it go to your head.
I am mean to you sometimes.
But I can't get you off my mind.
So I hit you with the game.
Always tryna act like your loving doesn't faze me when the truth is that it amaze me.
I know it's a big lie.
Cause you can see right through my eyes how much I wanna hold you.
Give you all my loving.
Baby boy, let me show you.
And I really wanna get to know you.

[Chorus:]
But I've been there.
LyricsAnd I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again. (Never, no, no)
Never again.
Never hurt again.
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. (Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again.

[Verse 2:]
I can't never ever let you see me this way.
So I take all my feelings and I tuck them away.
Frontin like I don't want you to hold me tight.
So I act like I'm putting up a fight to get your attention.
And make you stay around longer.
So I tell you I don't like it cause I know that that would make you wanna hold me tighter.
I can't help myself.
I really like ya.

[Chorus:]
But I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again.
Never again.
Never hurt again.
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. (Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again.

[Chorus:]
But I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again. (Never to get hurt again, no, no)
Never again.
Never hurt again. (Never hurt again)
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. (Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again. (Oh boy)

[Bridge:]
I don't deserve it.
I can never get hurt again.
Never get hurt again.
Never.
I don't deserve it.
I can never get hurt again.
Never get hurt again.
Never, ohhh...
I've been there...

[Chorus:]
But I've been there.
And I've done that. (And I've done that)
And I promised never to get hurt again. (And I promised never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never)
Never hurt again. (No, no)
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. (You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never, no, no, no, no)
Never hurt again. (Ohhh)
I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again.
Never again

[Intro:]
See today
I'm havin' one of
Them days were
I just don't
Wanna be bothered
But it seems like
You can't understand that
Because it's your way
Or no way
But check this out
It's my way today
And I'm really, really
Sick and tired
Of you steppin' into
My little box
When I just don't wanna be bothered, OK?
So check this out

[Verse 1:]
I've had my way
LyricsAnd I've had my share
Of ups and down
I've been in trouble
And I couldn't tell
My ups from downs
I've been your baby
And I don't know why
It don't seem like
That no more
Welcome to
This new definition
Of love

[Hook:]
It ain't all roses
Hey
Flowers and posin'
Hey
Said it ain't all candy
Hey
This love stuff
Is demanding
Hey

Said it ain't all roses
Hey
Flowers and posin'
Hey
Said it ain't all candy
Hey
This love stuff
Is demanding
Hey
Sometimes I need a hug

[Interlude:]
See, you, you just
You just wanna
Really, really, really push
All my buttons
'Cause you Mr. Right
And I'm Misses Wrong
But right now today
I feel like
I'm-I'm the one
Gon' sing this song

I'm a be Misses Right today
It's my way or the highway
But with you
It's just no... gettin' around that
I gotta be bumpin' heads
With you
What's up with that?
Listen, see

[Verse 2:]
I love my man
And I know my place
I know my worth
And I just can't stand
To see myself
As I hurt
It's been a long time
And I think that
I can get a little
More love
From you
I know some of ya'll
Go through it to 'cause

[Chorus]

[Interlude 2:]
Sometimes I just wish
You just put
Your arms around me
When I'm feelin' so
Sp, so very needy
But instead you just turn your back
And say, "Suck it up! "
Oh, you don't know how I'm feelin' right now
If you knew how I feel
On the inside
You wouldn't say suck it up
Now what the fuck?
Cause'

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
It ain't all roses, you know?
Everybody ask me how
Good it is
It's great
Love is great
But when you just
A mess yourself
It ain't gon' be all roses
'Cause you just want your time
You wanna be selfish
You know
You don't want nobody
Messin' with you
You just wanna rip
Somebody head off
When they step to you with
"Oh you need some help. Oh, you need to figure it out"
You figure it out!
You figure it out!
You go figure it out!
You suck it up!

Ohhh...
Ohhh...

[Verse 1:]
It's starting to rain again.
Everything's gone now.
Even the sun.
It's starting to rain again.
Don't go away.
What have I done?
Hmmm...
I've been high and I've been low.
I've been wealthy and I've been poor.
I don't know much.
But one thing I know, this ain't no fun.
Hmmm...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohh...
LyricsSo that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Verse 2:]
I painted a picture with her in his arms.
Hmmm...
It's starting to rain again.
It's all in my mind.
He's done me no harm.
Hmmm...
I've been up and I've been down.
Through all my drama, he's still around.
I can't believe that even now I put us through the storm.
Ohhh...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Bridge:]
Couldn't look at myself in the mirror.
Asking myself "How dumb could you be? "
Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.
Hmmm...
Ohhh...
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Ohhh...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
Hey...
Hey...
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Invisibility would be great

[Verse 1:]
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight.
Makeup, breakup, wrong or right.
Heaven for all it's worth can equally be held right here on earth.

[Pre-Chorus:]
(And no one really knows anything about it)
No, but everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
(And that's the way it goes)
Darkest day.
Brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

[Chorus:]
And it feels like joy.
And it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine.
Feels like rain.
LyricsAnd excuse the dying.
Reason to live.
And if you don't know that's what love is.
Love is, ohhh.

[Verse 2:]
Gentle kiss.
Sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Argue until my head hurts.
I can't remember what you said.
Out screaming loud.
Don't know what we're screaming bout.
So confusing.
Yes, it's true.
But if it wasn't there what would we do?

[Pre-Chorus:]
(And no one really knows anything about it)
No, but everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
(And that's the way it goes)
Ohhh, darkest day.
Brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

[Chorus:]
And it feels like joy.
And it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine.
Feels like rain.
And excuse the dying.
Reason to live.
And if you don't know that's what love is.
Love is, ohhh.

[Bridge:]
That's love.
Anything that can bring you up or break you down. (Break you down)
That's love.
Can be the sun up in your sky or the darkest cloud. (Darkest cloud)
That's love.
And we need it.
That's love.
And we need it. (And we need it)
That's love.
Ohh, ask anybody how it feels.
And it feels like joy.
And it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine.
Feels like rain.
And excuse the dying.
Reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.
And it feels like joy.
(Joy)
And it feels like pain.
(Pain)
And it feels like sunshine.
Feels like rain.
And excuse the dying.
Reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is, ohhhh.
That's it

Look in my eyes.
Tell me what you see
Do you see perfection in me?
To you, do I look complete?
Now take one more look pass my celebrity.
That's where you'll find the real me.
To you, do I still look complete?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm)
I got the love from my fans that adore me. (Yeah)
And I'm grateful. (And I thank you so very much)
But my love for myself is lacking a little bit. (Just a little bit)
I can admit that I'm working on me. (Hmmm)
Staying faithful. (Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is...)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Just like you, I get down)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed.
LyricsAnd just like me, tryna be complete. (And just like me, tryna be complete, ohh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress.

[Verse 2:]
Life can be difficult.
No one promised that it would be...
(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time)
Sunshine all the time, easy.
Some pain is guaranteed.
But it ain't impossible.
You can find the joy, you see.
Took me a while but I did finally.
Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you.

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, ohh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (Just wanna cry)

Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (Just understand we're all a work in progress)

Just like you sometimes I get down. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (Can you hear me, can you feel me?)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (I am, I am, I'm just like you)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (A work in progress)

Ohhh...
Hmmm...

[Verse 1:]
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time
I need to get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
For reasons that only I know
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting

[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't

[Chorus:]
Give me something
To spark the flame
Take away the paint
LyricsTake it away
I can feel the heat
From my face

[Verse 2:]
Ooh
Holding on isn't healthy
But it's killin' me
To let go
Trying to stare
At your picture
But I can't see it
For all this smoke
Hmm
Not for all the smoke
Ooh

[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
But it don't
It don't
It don't
Oh, it don't

[Verse 1:]
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time to
Get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
For reasons that only I know
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting

[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't

[Chorus:]
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face

Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face

Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my...

That was love
That was then
That was us, miracles
I changed you
You changed me
This is how these things go
I was broke
And you were scared
But you stayed by my side, yea

I was yours
You were mine
It seemed we'd last forever, oh yea
I'd be the one you need
You would be the one I marry
And I'm just trying to invite my way back in your heart
And I'm telling you to...

[Chorus:]
Come to me
I'll restore freedom
LyricsI'll carve away the worries in your heart

Your heart is missed
I'm a mess, what happened to second chance
This is now, this is how easy things can get out of hand
We were cold, and we were slow then, now we end faster than light, than light

And I'm not ashamed cause my love ain't changed
I'm prepared to beg you back the whole way
Bring me your arms, I'll bring mine too
And we will heal, mend, me and you, telling you...

[Chorus:]
Come to me
I'll restore freedom
I'll carve away the worries in your heart
I'm telling you to...

Come to me
I'll restore freedom
I'll carve away the worries in your heart
And I'm here to make peace, peace, peace
I'm here to make peace, peace, peace
I'm here to make peace, peace, peace
I'm here to make peace, between u and I

Through my doors, and take my hand
Replace our love beyond this land
This is just too much to give away
I love you baby, so why don't you stay

Let the air of your voice dry my tears
Let "I love you", fall on my ears
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I want you to just...

[Chorus:]
Come to me
I'll restore freedom
I'll carve away your worries in your heart
And I'll be here to make peace
I'm here to make peace peace peace
I'm here to make peace peace peace
I'm here to make peace peace peace between you and I

Wanna make peace with you peace baby
I don't wanna fight, I just wanna do everything right
Show me how to make peace with you
I do wanna make peace with you
