[No lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Hey girl how you doing
Do you feel like talking?
Or do you need me to call you back
You from round what way and when's your birthday
Or what's your zodiac sign (I'm an Aries)
Well I'm a Virgo so my sign's compatible
What you do for fun cause I don't drink or club
I just like to chill with somebody like you

[Chorus]
Everything is cool when love is all brand new
Cause you're learning me and I'm learning you (it's cool)
Cause you're learning me and I'm learning you

[Verse 2]
What type of work you do or are you still in school
Or do you have any kids (and if I did what?)
See I'm the type that don't mind
Cause I can understand that things happen sometimes
By the way I 'm wondering are you cool with your family
Cause I would like to meet your parents someday
Maybe we can begin something wonderful and beautiful cause

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Girl it's so cool (yeaaah)
Talking with you (yeaaah)
It gets better every moment I spend with you
Girl you're so nice (nice)
And you so fine (so fine)
Plus you're real and that's just what I like

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
Just a few years ago she was too young for me to know
So I had to let her go
It kinda hurt to make a young jawn cry
Now just yesterday I saw her around the way
And we sparked up a little conversation
She been diggin on me like a goldminer
And since then she got a whole lot finer and

[Chorus]
I'm caught up with her, I'm so caught up with her
I'm caught up with her, I'm so caught up with her
[Repeat 3x]

[Verse 2]
She got book intelligence street common sense
Ain't down for the bull...
She can switch her mode from corporate to ghetto
Even when she gone represent
She's that keep it real type
Cause see she's very opinionated
You can take it how you want it
Either you love it or you hate it see but

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Now I'm older and I'm wiser
Now my mother and my father know all about you,

[Chorus 4x]

[Verse 1]
We've been chilling together for a while
And I'm finding it hard to figure you out
See cause I can't tell if you wanna be
My girl or just cool.
First you catch an attitude when my phone goes off
Sometimes you act like you don't care at all
Things that you say and do leaves me so confused
When you know I'm feeling you!

[Chorus]
Won't you quit playing baby
Why you gon front
Won't you just say it
Say what you really want.
If you ain't wit it, just stop
Leading me on, on, on, on, on, on, on!!!

[Verse 2]
I don't mean to pressure you baby
But you really need to make up your mind
Let me know what you really want
Stop wasting, wasting my time
Cause on the real (the real) real (for real)
I could be out and find someone who's
Down wit what I'm about
Instead I'm waiting on you to decide if
I'm the one that you want in your life

[Chorus 3x]

[Bridge]
Hey baby tell me why must you treat me this way
How about you come on and stop playing these games
Let me know what it is you really wanna do
So I can know how I should feel when I'm dealing with you

One Sunday morning I woke up with you on my mind
Cuz I knew later on I'd see you in your glory looking so fine.
Now I could be a little forward and do things to show you how I feel
But I don't want to be disrespectful,
so I just be waiting for the day you try to baptize me
with
your kiss.

[Chorus]
The more I get to know you I hope and pray to
Everyday do whatever's righteous and true
Cuz your love is so religious
And Babygirl don't you know I worship the ground that you walk on, live by your
every word cuz your love is so religious.

I wanna thank your father for making you on that day
And give blessings to your mother for raising you so heavenly.
Now in my heart I know for certain without an ounce of doubt in my mind.
That I can preach a whole entire sermon just to testify on the goodness of your
love.

[Chorus]

What I want is your love, take me higher baby, take me higher,
what I believe, you're what I
need to live a life of wholesome and good love.

[Chorus x2]

Pardon me my darling
But do you have a second
Just so I can tell you
How you caught my full attention
Now how is it that you look
So well put together
Flawless as can be,
It just doesn't get no better.

Hey babygirl why don't you come home wit me
And let me show you what some good loving can be
Cause I got so much love inside and I wanna give
It all to you baby girl, to you baby girl.

Ya body's picture perfect and there aint
A brick that's missin
You look like yo mama raise you on them
Grits n chicken
Now I know you heard this probably like all the time
But if you come wit me
I'm gonna make it worth your while

Chorus

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la

Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I'm all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothings the same
And really I just want my friend back

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you
out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out
of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (yeah)

I'd hate walk away from you as if this never existed
Cause when we kissed the moment after I looked at you different
Lately I gotta watch what I say
Cause you take things personally nowadays
You used to laugh now you get mad
Damn I just want my friend back

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you
out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out
of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on

oh oh oh oh oh yeah
What happened to the one I used to know (oh yeah yeah)
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever whenever together yeah

And my mind's gone half crazy (oh) cause I can't leave you alone (I'm going half
crazy baby)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me (oh) holding on (over you)
Said my mind's gone half crazy (yeah) cause I can't leave you alone (and I just
don't know)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (said I just don't know what to do
now)
we used to chill (yeah) we used to hang
we used to do we used to do some many things together (yeah)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh oh
yeah
oh oh oh

[Verse 1]
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that

[Chorus]
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time

[Verse 2]
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.

[Verse 3]
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you

[Chorus 4x]

[Chorus I]
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll don't you ever let no one tell you to grow up and give up
on your
dreams.
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll ain't nothing worse than to let someone tell you to grow up
and
give up on your dreams.
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll
Everybody's got something that they want to be in life
And I'm sure it's something that you may have wanted to try.
It don't matter how old you are or how many dreams you have
Or how many people got your back
Let me tell you.

[Chorus]

Everybody's got something that they want to be in life and I'm sure it's
something that
you may have wanted to try.
It don't matter how old you got, or how many kids you got, or how many things
you
gotta do.

[Chorus II]

Don't worry you can do it baby (It's yours)
Ain't really nothing to it baby (It's easy)
Take your time and you can do it cuz
Whatever you want it's all up to you it ain't hard
I promise you can get it but in order for you to get it you gotta be in it.
(Alright)
And once you in it you can win it cuz whatever you want it's all up to you it
ain't hard (word)

[Chorus II]

Juslisen
Juslisen
Sometimes I wonder why people, act like the way they do
All the drama and changes they, like to take you through
Now it's cool to think that you're cool with somebody but the bottom line
reality
No matter how bad that you think you do, dawg you don't know me
When you see me in public don't you worry about it yo it's cool
I shake your hand give mad love I ain't got no beef with you
Just understand that sometimes I need my space to breathe
You probably feel the same as me, if these shoes were on your feet,
I can't control how you feel about it
But all the drama I sure can do without it. Yeah
So go on, and feel the way that you want bout how you think I am
But remember at the end of the day
I'm just a person like you trying to do the best that I can
And that's real.

I wanna thank you for letting me be myself
I wanna thank you [repeat]

[Verse 1]
I know this girl from way back some time ago
Fine as the autumn sun with a heart of gold, yeah
One day we talked about some men in her past
Cause I was just trying to understand

[B section]
Why it's always like she always tried to hide
What it is she feels or what's on her mind
When it comes to love
She gets so afraid that someone will come
And hurt her again someday

[Chorus]
All of her life she never had
Someone show her what it means
To have or be in real love

[Verse 2]
She never had a man who was kind to her
Never told her I love you without getting hurt, no
Some people say she's bitter some think she's scared
Some people say she thinks nobody cares

[B section]
Now she walks around and protects her heart
Never looks for love
Lives behind a wall
Tell it to herself all men are all the same
Cause that's how it is
And that is such a shame

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
All, all this time we've been wasting baby
You've been playing baby
Sending me all, all these signs
But never, never saying a word
See now I, I'm not trying to figure out, so how bout you.
Tell me what you wanna do? So I can give you all you want
If you just say it, so, say it baby.

[Chorus]
I can understand if you're not ready
If you need me to be patient
Then I'm cool wit waiting
We can take our time, lets get it right
Make it last forever, not just for one night

[Verse 2]
Girl forgive me if I come across to forward baby
And if I offended you in any way baby
See I just wanna get next to you
Cuz being closer makes it better
When I get to know you baby
Tell me how am I suppose to do that when you
Keep leading me on and you keep pushing me away
When all along I know, yes I do
That you really want me to stay baby. Ooooh!

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Look baby I know that you want me cause I could feel that
You you need me but you seem to be just a little afraid
That cools its ok, it's alright cause I want you baby
I mean I really want you baby. But if you need some time
I'm willing to wait just as long as you know that I want you girl
Cause I want you, but I want you to want me too.

I want you to want me
Just as bad as I want you cause I can understand baby if you're
Not ready and if you need me to be patient wit you
I'll take my time wit you baby, I'll take my time as much time as you need so we
can get this
thing right girl and make it last forever. Cause I don't want you to feel I'm
here for now and
gonna be gone tomorrow, I want this to be the beginning of a beautiful
relationship. Do you feel
that baby I mean can you understand that, that's real. That's from my heart.

[Verse 1]
First things first girl recognize
Who is wit you now
Second thing, can't blame me for
How you were treated before I came see
I'm not Steven, Anthony even, Leroy or Ivan
Damn girl I've been right there for you
Since day one, so where's all this coming from

[Chorus]
See now I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats, yeah
Who had your heart before me, girl no
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me

[Verse 2]
Now what is with all the questioning about
Where I've been and why must you roll your eyes
When I say she's just a friend I knew before
Not like I call you Sabrina, Pam or Tanisha
Andrea either. Girl we go deeper then any other
I had before so tell me why you ignore.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Now I don't know (I don't know)
What them young boys did (what them young boys did)
To make you insecure, but I think you need to let it go
(Let it go) don't let your past get all in the way
Cause what is here today may not be guaranteed tomorrow
I'm not out of line just speaking my mind when I say that I
I put in to much time for another's brother's crimes.

[Verse 1]
See we both shared a crowded room
Not formally introduced
But I've been watching her watching me all night
And then she disappeared for a few
Must have got herself a drink or two
To work up a nerve to come and say hi
She politely spoke her name
Like a gentleman I did the same
And she sat down and we talked for a moment, yeah
She told me she'd be pleased to be
The lucky lady leaving with me
That sounds nice but I'd hate to hurt my woman

[Chorus]
So what, so what, it's all love, it's all love, show love
That's what she said to me, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, goodbye, goodbye
But for now you gotta live for the moment

[Verse 2]
Now what I look like deceiving my lady
The future mother of my babies
And lose a love that took years to build
To do that I must be crazy
And right now I don't feel crazy
Even though you're killing me with your sex appeal
And on the real she may never know
But the problem is I'll know
But how can I look into my baby's eyes
Now it just might be cool for some
But I refuse to be the one
To let a moment ruin my life

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I must admit you look remarkable
But my woman puts you to shame
Cause what we have is more than physical, yeah
More like spiritual souls intertwining.
Intertwining like a braid.

[Chorus]

Verse 1
Now a days I don't understand
Why my love doesn't love me like she use to before
Now lately the sun just doesn't shine and my paradise
Is gone

B Section
Cause most of the time
We argue and fight
Over things that doesn't really matter
Lord knows that I tried
To give all my love
So what should I do?
(Carrol)
Chorus
You got to understand it's all about give and take
You can't be so demanding
Things won't always go your way
If you just give it time
And think about her feelings
Then things will work out fine
Learn to make her your best friend

Verse 2
I hear what you saying but my girl she's always
Complaining and blaming me for things I'll never do
And I don't know what, what it is that I did that was
So wrong to make her feel I'll ever be untrue to her

B Section
Cause most of the time
We argue and fight
Over things that doesn't really matter
Lord knows that I tried
To give all my love to her what should I do?

Chorus

(Carrol)
Bridge
See what you need to do is stop catching attitude's
And just try to take the time to hear her out
Stop being so defensive try to be more attentive
Show her you respect what she's talking bout
Cause you know how us women can be and when we
Feel threatened we react instinctively when our emotion
has grown to its high we can tend to just let it control
Our lives

(musiq)
All right I'll try next time I'll try a little tenderness
Even make sure that I give her more complements
Maybe I could practice being more patient
And compromise for my baby

Vamp
If you want her in your life
Then you got to be willing to try
See it's worth the struggle
Cause in the end she will always
Be your best friend

[Verse 1]
Lately you've been questioning
If I still see you the same way
We gonna both physically change
Now don't you know you you'll always be
The most beautiful woman I know
So let me reassure you darlin that
My feelings are truly unconditional

[Chorus]
See I'll love you when your hair turns gray
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, No

I was meant for you and you was meant for me yeah
And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

[Verse 2]
Cause I'm not impressed, more or less
By them girls in the T.V and magazines
Cause honestly I believe that your beauty
Is way more than skin deep
Cause everything about you makes me feel
I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldn't see myself being with another girl

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
So don't waste your time worrying bout
Small things ain't relevant to me
Cause to my understanding your all I want and need
See what I'm trying to say is I'm here to stay
Baby, baby darling I swear that I,
I swear I ain't going nowhere no.

[Vamp]
You are my baby
Don't you change baby
I love you, got to know,
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Mother-Father before I forget
Thank you for all that you have been to me
And just in case you are wondering I love you

[Verse 1]
I know that our difference caused
Us to waste so much of our time we could have used
Getting to know each and one another
But now that I've grown into my own
And learned some things about life
I now can see that it wasn't easy to raise someone like me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I remember those days when you used to sit me down
And try to school me about the plenty opportunities in life
Hoping and wishing and praying that something would stick
And somehow click within this mind of mine
See you used to say, if you throw enough on the wall
Something is bound to rub off
And I'm here to tell you
That you don't have to really worry about me at all

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Listen now
There was no limit to all the things that you've done
And would have for me my sisters and brothers
And I'll never understand how you would talk all day long
And just as you said, in one ear and out the other
Isn't it funny how things change when you get older?
Now I know that I'll never find another
Love like yours inside anyone else

[Chorus (repeat 4x)]

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover, no
Something in her style that shows me yeah
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how yeah,

You asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know, no I don't know, no

You stick around and it may show
Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know no, no, no
no ooooh, ooooh, ooooh....

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her yeah...
Something in the things she shows me
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Listen, something in the way she moves
Something in the way that she moves me
Somewhere in her smile that she knows
Something in her style that it shows me
Something in the things that she shows me
Something
