Vanessa Williams Album

Where do we go
When there's a need to be loved
Like you need to be loved
Oh, I'll let you know
Just what to do and where to go
Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

After a hard day's work
There's one thing to be certain of
This ol' familiar love
It's not unusual to find that it's sensual
It's all you need to let go

There's no need to try
Or compromise
Or settle for another outside of my love
The thing to do
When you get through
Heed the message seek the comfort of my zone

Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

Hey let me make you comfortable
Let me take control
And give your mind a break from the day you made
Let's turn the lights down low
And oh the rest you know
I'll be here for you
'Cause you just stepped into the comfort zone


Written by Kipper Jones & Reggie Stewart

Boy, you've been running around too long
Now I think you're running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
It's time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one
Then walk out the door
And you think you can run around having fun
And just come back for more
I think you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
So if you try it one more time
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

Boy, I hope you see before too late
I won't play the fool - no not this time
And I'll show you just how wrong you are
To think I just can't get you out of my mind

So you think that you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run around
and come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasu
It's got to be them or me
And if you dis me once more
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

You can't just dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear you playing around when you wanna
Anytime that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want ah
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

I got so much work to do, work

w/ Brian McKnight

I never know why
Why we can't see eye to eye
And like a fool I believed
We would find a way to survive
I wish we could be more than just a memory
Cuz we loved, we laughed, we cried
And there's no good in goodbye

You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go

Then you gotta go

If you must go, you ought to know
I will get along, I will live without you
And if you should leave I hope you see
I won't be around baby if you should leave
You're gonna need me

You might think that leaving is easy
I had no right to lead you on
I should have told you the moment the feeling was gone
What I'm trying to say is that I need some space
I need to be sure

No, you'll never find another love like me
All around this world
Still you tell me

You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go

Then you gotta go

You said you'll always be mine
I need to be on my own
I gotta be on my own
Not gonna beg you to stay
But you'll be back boy I know
Baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go

Then you gotta go


Written by Dr. Jam/Brian McKnight/Mark Stevens

You look so sorry, please tell me what's wrong
Just what are you thinking, you look so forlorn
Maybe you're thinking that I have been untrue
So let me assure you and tell you the truth
I'm not one to fool around
The mistake that I made was not meant to hurt you
I needed somehow to try and find out
How I really felt inside
And I know I'm...
Still in love
I'm so...
Still in love
I'm gonna be all you want me to be...cos I am
Still in love
Ooh
Still in love yeah
I'm gonna do all you want me to do

Don't ask no questions won't tell you no lies
It's something that happened in which I can't disguise
I needed somebody to take me away
From feelings of doubt which in my mind delay
But you've always been the one
And there are days when I know I should have told you
So please don't you cry
Cos I'm gonna try
To make you believe in me
And I know I'm

Still in love
I'm so...
Still in love
I'm gonna be all you want me to be...cos I am
Still in love
Ooh
Still in love yeah
I'm gonna do all you want me to do

You must be the one for me
Cos as hard as I try
I just can't let you go
So that you know baby
Please, please don't go
Cos you are just all that I need
And I know I'm...

Still in love
I'm so...
Still in love
I'm gonna be all you want me to be...cos I am
Still in love
Ooh
Still in love yeah
I'm gonna do all you want me to do


Written by Derek Bramble

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last


Written by Waldman/Lind/Galdston

I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reasons we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart

When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart

When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart

Oh, what will I tell my heart


Written by Tinturin/Gordon/Lawrence

All alone, a rainy night
No one around but I feel someone watching me
I look around, the street is bare nobody there
I wonder what it could be
As I turned to walk away
Suddenly I saw his face
Never minding that we were alone
Didn't care about the time, at the moment I was feeling fine
I was looking into stranger's eyes
(He caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(He looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(That's when he came)
He came and captured me

Like a scene out of a dream, I can't believe it
Kind of strange and familiar
But in his eyes I get a sign, I get a feeling
I get the feeling he knows me
Maybe I could stay awhile, maybe I could make you smile
I don't have much to do
Maybe we could walk awhile
Maybe, maybe we could talk awhile

Can't help looking into stranger's eyes
I was looking into stranger's eyes
(He caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(He looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(That's when he came)
He came and captured me

How was I to know this would happen
Though I didn't know I would meet this stranger
It's the kind of thing that dreams are made of
And I keep thinking about stranger's eyes

I was looking into stranger's eyes
(He caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(He looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(That's when he came)
He came and captured me


Written by Dr Jam/Stevens

You struck me like lightning
Turned my world upside down
When I first laid my eyes on you
This feeling's really frightening
Cuz it seems to me I've found
The perfect man of all for me to choose
Used to dream of such a man like you
Never thought it would come true
Boy you are the answer to my prayers

I never felt like this before and
You have opened up the door
Into a space that I would never dare

Cuz you give my life a meaning
And this love we have together
Is lifting my heart to a higher ground
I was searching, seeking, finding
Love came out from its hiding
And baby, I'm so pleased at what I found

The way you seem to be, the only one for me
This love is truly special, we're 2 of a kind
I've got you on my mind, we're 2 of a kind

This heart of mine is beating inside my chest
And baby, it's you that I adore
The nights we spend together are by far the best
That any woman could be wishing for
We're lucky baby it's like that
This ain't no opposites atract
You make up for all the bad in me

So when days of trouble come around
You know I'd never let you down
Right by your side is where I want to be

Cuz you give my life a meaning
And this love we have together
Is lifting my heart to a higher ground
I was searching, seeking, finding
Love came out from its hiding
And baby, I'm so pleased at what I found

The way you seem to be, the only one for me
This love is truly special, we're 2 of a kind
I've got you on my mind, we're 2 of a kind


Written by Dr jam / Vanessa Williams

When it's time to get up you're gonna know it
You gonna get a feeling inside, you gotta show it
Come on relax and put your mind at ease
And forget all your insecurities
You gotta move, nothing can hold you down
And let nothing turn your move around
You start counting up 1-2-3
Come on people just get free

Get free
In the midst of a trouble love
Get free
Gotta find you another one
Get up - come on people just get free
There's a chance if you open up
Get free
Freedom dance if you open up
Freedom - come on people just

You've been holding back to long
Now the feeling is much to strong
Take a look at the other side of your heart
And begin to tear the rules apart
No your momma can't help you now
And your daddy can't show you how
You gotta do it all by yourself
And if you need it here's a little help

Get free
In the midst of a trouble love
Get free
Gotta find you another one
Get up - come on people just get free
There's a chance if you open up
Get free
Freedom dance if you open up
Freedom - come on people just

People listen to me
You don't have to worry - naw, naw
Just get up when you're down
And the whole world around
Will be a better place for me and for you - oh
We got to tell one another
Tell your sister and your brother that
If the world isn't as free like the world ought to be
That the world would be the sight to see


Written by Jones/Stewart

It's hard to realize we said our last goodbyes
Where could the dream have gone to
Now I know there's no way that I can make you stay
No matter how I want to
We made some memories that my heart will always treasure
Before you close the door let's make one more

Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you
And all I ask is just for tonight
Love me like you used to do
And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why
I won't even try to change your feelings
If you just hold me tight, just once more
Just for tonight

I thought the love we'd found
Was built on solid ground
And it would just grow stronger
Crazy as it may seem
I need to dream that dream
For just, just a little longer


So for the sake of all that magic we made together
Open your heart to mine just one more time

Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you
And all I ask is just for tonight
Love me like you used to do
And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why
I won't even try to change your feelings
If you just hold me tight, just once more
Just for tonight

All I want is one more night
So why don't you come to me, let me dream
This night means everything to me
All ask is for tonight
baby just hold me tight
Come to me, let me dream
This night means everything to me

Written by Keith Thomas / Chyntia Weil

We had each other
And we never knew how much we had
Hurt one another
'Till we took the good and turned it bad
But now we're so much wiser
And we both know the score
Can we try just once more

Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldn't give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again

Let's make it better
Now that we can see where we went wrong
Get back together
In each other's arms we belong

Let's put the past behind us
We've both had time to heal
So if you feel like I feel

Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldn't give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again

If you need me like I need you
Oh baby that's the one reason
Why we ought to fall in love again

Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldn't give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldn't fall in love again


Written by Keith Thomas / Chyntia Weil

I could feel it when we said goodnight
We both knew it had to and
We couldn't make it right
But we still came back again
Don't be sad 'cause we gave the best we had
We're better off now, better off now
Maybe we just don't know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
We're better off saying goodbye

I know I'll never feel the same
After loving you this way
I'd do it all again
Though I know my heart would break
Once you've loved like this how do you admit

We're better off now, better off now
Maybe we just don't know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
We're better off saying goodbye

Maybe we just don't know it
Better off now, better off now
It's hard to realize
We're better off saying goodbye

Close your eyes and I'll be there
If you ever think you need me

We're better off now, better off now
Maybe we just don't know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
We're better off saying goodbye


Written by Keith Thomas / Wndy Waldman

Do we rally have to say goodbye
Look at your heart ache as you try to tell me
The love we made is not enough for you
You're walking away from all that we dreamed of
The things you say are leading to...

Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart can't say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye

You wait at the door and turn 'round to see me
The look in your eyes says you really want to stay
And then we touch, your hands are a whisper
They tell my heart that you can't say

Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart can't say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye

Oh baby with or without you
I'll always love what we both knew

Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart can't say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye

Don't say goodbye
Baby, let's talk about love
Let's talk about it now
Please baby, don't say
Baby, let's talk about love
Without your love I can't go on
Without you
Baby don't say
Baby let's talk about love
