Mary J. Blige Album

[Rich Nice]:
The most innovative female singer of our decade
Many describe her as the paramount
The most soulful, the most prolific
Who else is accepted in the streets
As well as in the streets

(Awards shows)

No other can match her conviction
This is not a test
This is an actual emergency of the Track Master broadcast system
And this is where you should be tuned in
To receive the proper news and the banging joints

(Radio stations)

Back in the house once again...

(featuring Lil' Kim)

(Chorus)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

(Vs.1)
Sitting here,
Wondering why you don't love me
The way that I love you
And baby have no fear
Cause I would never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy I can

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
I know some times
Can get rough but we'll make it
We'll make it through the storm
And I know I will try
To make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say

(I can love you) I can love you
A little better than she can
oh,
(I know that you) I know that you
Wish that you could be my man
Cause I can love you better than she can

(Chorus)

(Rap: Lil Kim)
If I told you once, I told you twice,
Q. B. throw the bootie, like a groupie for mo' ice
Armor truck heist, hit the bonus like N'Bushe,
In love wit' you since the days of "Juicy"
Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colassals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin', who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!
You work more body than Jane Fonda,
Physical fitness, Mary Blige be my witness
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Cougar by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya
Because of you, I'm inheritin' trillions,
Buryin' billions, Bentley Coupe's millions
Playin' good samaritan, in the Sheraton
Crack the Don P's and Remy's
You better hurry in

(Won't you tell me who?)
(Who's gonna make you feel the way I do)
Who's gone love you like I do, huh? What
Who's gone treat you like I do, huh? What
(Nobody, nobody)
Mary Blige, Lil Kim, ha ha
Queen Bee, ah-hah, that's me
That's right, Mary J, Lil K

Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody

(Chorus until fade)

(f. Nas)

(Nas)
Mary...
Live ya life girl...

Mmm, Mmm...
Ohhhh
Love is all we need
Said it's all we need
Mmmmm...
Cause everybody needs love

(Vs.1)
Love is all we need
To make everything complete
If we try to live together and be happy
You and me are one
And we've only just begun
So let's make a new beginning and have some fun
Oh...

(Chorus)
Love is all we need
Said it's all we need
To make everything complete
All we need is L-O-V-E
Love is all we need
Cause to love you would mean everything
Cause everybody need love

(Vs.2)
Dealing with tough times
Seems to always blow my mind
But I know where my heart is so I am fine
If we remain friends
It would never ever end
And this love I give to you you can depend on, love

(Chorus)

Love is all we need
To make every little thing complete
Oh, if you would trust in me
I'd let you know, that I love

(Chorus)

(Rap: Nas)
Feel this hit, bangin' in your residential district
Presidential chipped out canary rock sizzlin'
Mary hot pop crisp shorty got this
Fly angel, my dreams of a queen came true
In this land that's dark, if you my man, then you my heart
I'll blast for you, need bail put up tha cash for you
Girls who mad loyal die for you, leave 'em if they actin' too fly for you
All up in yo mix then in somebody else six
Quick to put yo name in some murder one shit
I'm not the one cheatin' on you, or beatin' on you
Cause I'm laid back you thought that I was sleepin' on you,
Real love make a ill thug feel bugged
Nas analyze are you trustworthy by the looks on your eyes
Stay wit me, be my dog like Dollar and Richie
She convinced me, all we realy need is love strictly

(Chorus)

You know love is all we need
To make everything complete
I wanna be happy, we can be happy
Don't you wanna be happy with me?
You and me are 2 in 1
And our love has just begun
And we can love, we can love oh we need it

(Chorus)

(Nas)
One love, one life
Live on, stay strong
Live ya life girl

Cause everybody needs love

(Chorus)
Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know
Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know

(Vs.1)
I just don't understand
What is your master plan
What did you have me do
Confusion in my mind
Been hurt a thousand times
Now I know you're not true
(That's why I can't be with you)

You don't know what it meant to me
Just to make you happy
All this time I've waited
Now our love has faded
Please tell me why it's gone
So my life can go on

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
I told you once before
I'm walkin out the door
I'm leaving you behind
Thinking bout you all the time
Makes me so sad and blue
Now what are we gonna do
(That's why I can't be with you)

You don't know what you did to me
When you told me you loved me
Now you're actin' shady
Now I'm goin crazy
Please stop holdin back from me
Cause I got to keep from goin round

(Chorus)

Oh, ohhhh
Oh, ohhhh
Oh, ohhhh
Oh, ohhhh

(Chorus)

You promised me you'd never leave
You said you'd stay with me always
Always
You'd never leave

(Chorus)

(You'll never leave)

Man, woman, child
(share my world)
Intelligent minds
Share my world
Creative hands
Feel the queen in her beautiful blackness
And understand love
Is all we need

Share my world

(Vs.1)
Boy if you stay I'll always make sure
That you look to see a brighter day
Don't let our lovin' slip away
The things you do, they always make me feel
Like there's no one else but you
Promise you'll be true
Always

(Chorus)
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise I'll be here
Whenever you need me near
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise I'll be here
So baby don't you have no fear

(Vs.2)
To be with you would be like paradise
Everything would be so nice (so nice), so right (so right)
The joy you bring to me makes me feel so
Good inside
It's so right (so right), so high
Just thinkin about you
And my feelings I just can't hide

(Chorus)

I don't know what I would do
(Would do)
Without you (you)
When I'm down and out
I think about
The good love you give to me
Oh, the love you give to me
I'm so happy
So share, share my world

(Chorus)

Ooh, la la la
Won't you share my world
won't you share my world
(Repeat until fade)

(Vs.1)
I've been searching for someone
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obviouse looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that I
Would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed
I knew it had to be you
I never thought we would be together
I can't believe I just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do
Ohh

(Chorus)
Monday, a friend of mine
Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away
Thursday, things weren't the same
On Friday, you came back
I wanted to kiss you
On Saturday
On Sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do

(Vs.2)
As much as I, I want you
I don't wanna wreck a friend
I've already found in you
I've been there before
And I can't ignore
How two friends became one
But walked away with none
I cannot risk a friend
But the love is so good
I gotta make a choice
I would if I could
I never thought we would be together
How can I address you
"Hey lover?", "Hi friend!"
"How ya doin'?", "Where ya been?"
I gotta make a choice

(Chorus)

(Guitar plays: George Benson)

On Sunday we made sweet sweet love
Tuesday we played a game
But Sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do?
A friend of mine

(featuring R. Kelly)

(Chorus)
And it's on, and it's on,
and it's on, and it's on,
And it's on tonight
It's about time that we met
And it's about time a love I won't forget
(Repeat)

(Vs.1)
R. Kelly:
For so long I've waited for the chance
To be with you
And to lie with you baby
In my dreams I take you by the hand
In our house on the beach
Making love on jet black sand

bridge:
Baby finally the time
Has come for us to share
The joy that we will need
And nothing can compare

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
Mary J.:
I waited all my life
Boy for you to come along
And make that joyful sacrifice
Two kids, a dog, and a home
Is like a dream come to life
When I look into your dazing eyes

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

All my life I've waited
To get next to you
You, baby you
And every night I've prayed
Your love would come my way

Oh, I, I, I, I, I
How can I say thanks to you 
From the bottom of my heart
I wanna say
I give thanks to You 
(Thanks to You)
I owe it all to You
Lord, I thank you
Thank you, Jesus

(Vs.1)
I'm not in love
It's just some kind of thing I'm goin thru
Goin' thru, goin' thru
And it's not infatuation
Ain't nothin goin on between me and you
Me and you, me and you
But I dream about it every night, baby
Wantin you here with me
Makin love to me
And oh...

(Chorus)
I'm missin you like crazy
Body and soul is achin'
I'm out of control
Missing you so

I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you

(Vs.2)
I'm not in love, oh no no no
And that's what I just keep tellin' myself
Over and over again
And I'm not the least bit amused by it baby
Yet still I don't wanna be with nobody else
No no no
And I dream about you all the time
Touchin' and kissin' me
And makin love to me
And oh...

(Chorus)

God knows I'm tryin to keep you out of my head
I ain't tryin to love no one
I ain't tryin to get hurt again, no
But there's something that just gutts in my skin
And all I know is I can't let go
And that's the way it is

(Chorus)

You are my everything
You are my everything
You, my everything
Everything, everything, everything 
(Vs.1)
It's all because of you
I'm never sad and blue
You've brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend

(Bridge)
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can't be replaced

chorus:
You are my everything (you are my everything)
love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are everything
and everything is you

(Vs.2)
My darling only you
Can make my dreams come true
And every night I pray
You'll never go away
I promise I will try
Until the day I die
To treat you like a king
Cause you are my everything

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

You are everything
And everything is you
(Repeat 4x's)

When you're lovin me
Put your lovin arms around me
When you're lovin me
Said I feel so safe I found security
When you're lovin me
Forever I want you home with me
My everything
my every every every everything

(Chorus)

You take me away

(Vs.1)
The day seems so very long
But I'm trying to be strong
(Trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, I say
Things will soon turn my way
And then I'll have a clear view
But I gotta keep

(Chorus)
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why

(Vs.2)
I sometimes get worried
And I wonder why I worry
Cause I know that I will make it through the storm
I'm tryin not to lose my cool
Because if in this world I do
The only person that's gonna miss out on everything is me
And I gotta keep

(Chorus)

oooh, ooh
oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up
Don't you look down for nobody
Don't you do it, don't you do it
Keep your head

(Chorus)
Everyday's a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because I'm out here trying to do the right thing
And when I look around here's the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how I feel about me
But I gotta keep

(Chorus)

(featuring The Lox)

uh, Darkchild, wha'
ohh, Mary J. Blige

Whoa, whoa, whoa, (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, (whoa, whoa)
(Said I couldn't do it again, but I did)

(Chorus)
Can't get you off my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
Can't get you off my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time

(Vs.1)
The day we met was the last day
That I said I would look anyone else's way
Now you know that I'm with you
And I'll always be true
There's nothing in this world
That I won't do for you

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
The day you left, it was so sad
Now I'm standin' here holdin' on to the past
keep going on - gotta live your life
If we grow up in time
Maybe real love we will find

(Chorus)

Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa...yeah)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa)

(Rap: The LOX)
Styles:
You need rocks on the 4th finger
Of your left hand
Tell your bride's maid to hit off my best man
Always on my mind like money
You my honey, there when I'm laced, there when I'm bummy

Sheek:
Say word, it's type hard for me to get you off my mind
But I still get dough of course
True love, between a thug and a dove
Poppin' champagne in the tub, wha!

Jadakiss:
Ay yo, everything revolves around trust
Cause if it wasn't for you, then they wouldn't be no us
No jealousy, envy, and no lust
3-2-8 off the lot when I bust
Sittin' in the house countin' Lincolns and I'm still thinking
Can't get you off so I'm blinkin'
Sinkin', down in the silk couch, milked out
Your hole in my heart got my love all spilled out

Ooh, I can't get you...

(Chorus)

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

(Chorus until fade)

(Vs.1)
Why do we go through things unnecessary
Why can't we understand that our love is the key
We can solve any problem if we only were meek
But you won't take the time to try and understand me
Our Love

(Bridge)
Our love will grow much stronger
(grow much stronger)
Our love will last much longer (last)
If we would take the time out
To find out what love is all about

That's why I'm saying

(Chorus)
I wanna get to know you better (only if you let me)
Only if you let me
Love will grow much faster
Happy ever after
That is what I'm after
I just wanna be with you, you

(Vs.2)
I do not understand why we can't make it
But I will tell you one thing
I'm not trying to fake it
You can stay if you want to
Cause my love is the same
I will not disappoint you
And I won't be the blame
Our love

(Bridge)

That is why I'm sayin'

(Chorus)

La la la la la la (la la la la la la la)
La la la la la la (whoa laaa)
La la la la la la (la la la)
La la la la la la (la la)

(Chorus until fade)

(Chorus)
Searching (repeat 15x's)

(Vs.1)
Do you hear what I hear 
Can you see what I see
Everybody's crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
Mary? tell me why do you weep
Cause I'm trying to get over 
All the negativity
That's why I'm searching

(Chorus)

(Vs.2)
We are living in a world
Of "Who has what?" and "Who is who?"
But I'm telling you my friend
The answer's right in front of you
We are searching for a peace
Piece of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity

Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (everyday)
Oh ooh oh (it rains)
Oh ooh oh (can you stand the pain?)
Oh ooh oh (why do we live the way we choose to live?)
Oh ooh oh
Oh (I'm telling you my brother right now that we got to be...)

(Chorus)

Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (Why are we still searching)
Oh ooh oh (When the answer's right in front of you)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (I'm telling you)
Oh ooh oh 
Oh ooh oh (you better look straight a head of your path)
Oh (Because the love is always there)

(Chorus)

I don't wanna fuss n' fight
I just wanna make it right
What can we do to be strong
If we try to get along
I'm not trying to preach to you
But I am still searching too, yeah
Me and you can do it, oh
I don't ever wanna be stressed out
I just wanna live my life
The way I feel that I should be
Cause I wanna be happy, happy
What about you and me

(Chorus until fade)

(Vs.1)
You're my morning star
Shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love
It would last through all eternity

Just the way we are
A love story
It's just the way it should be

(Chorus #1)
Cause our love
Will stand tall as the trees
Our love
Will spread wide as the sea
Our love
Will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above
And we'll always be together
Our love

(Vs.2)
My love is surely one thing
You can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear
I go to you,
I know you'll make me strong

You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me smile

(Chorus #2)
Our love
will stand tall as the trees
Our love
Will be for the whole world to see
Our love
will change people's wrongs to rights
And will never die
Cause we will always have each other

(Chorus #1)

Break it down
Just a little
Because love is soft, love is sweet
Love is nice, love is gentle
Love is joy, love is pain
Love is light when you're in the rain
I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time
Love is you, love is me
Love is just a little baby
(Our love) I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time time
Love is you, love is me
Love is gonna set you free
(Our love)

(from Waiting To Exhale soundtrack)

(Vs.1)
While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

(Chorus)
Well I'm not gon cry, 
I'm not gon cry, 
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry, 
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry, 
I'm not gon cry, 
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry, 
it's not the time, 
cuz you're not worth my tears

(Vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

(Chorus)

I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part

(Repeat Vs.2)

(Chorus)
