(clap your hands, yall its alright....)

If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)
And I'm standin' on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did w/ my life
I will say I spent it withyou

If I wake up in WW 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if youcommin' with me

Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through eachother's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe

chorus

If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what people day
I'll be waiting for you after jusdement day

chorus

feat. Faith Evans and Kelly Price 
Written by: C. Schack, K. Karlin, T. Savage

This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
You said that you'd be here by nine 
And said you took your time 
You didn't think to call me boy 
Here I sit trying not to cry 
Asking myself why you do this to me
Chorus 1 (sung by Faith Evans) 
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face 
I'm writing you this letter, and this is hat I have to say: 
All I really wanted was some of your time 
Instead you told me lies 
When someone else was on your mind 
What you do to me 
Look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right 
Until you play with my emotions and you made me cry 
What you do to me 
Can't take what you did to me
Now I see that you been doing wrong 
You played me all along. 
And made a fool of me, baby 
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out 
That you were cheating on me. 
How could you do it to me?
Chorus 2 (sung by Kelly Price)
This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
Chorus and ad lib
I aint goin to take it no more (4x) 
(Kelly Price)Everthing you said was a lie 
Don't lie to me (fade out)

If there's a time when the fears should fill your eyes 
And you can't see past thge shadows 
To the sun on the other side 
Don't despair, vecause there always will be 
someone there 
Don't lose faith, love won't let you lose your way 
Because

You, you'll never stand alone 
I'll be standing by 
I'll keep you from the cold 
I'llhold you when you cry 
I'll be there to be strong 

When you can't find the strength inside 
And you, you'll always have a home 
In these arms of mine 
You'll never stand alone 
Love is standing by

If there's a dayt when the rain should find your heart 
And you're cold and tried and lonely 
And this would has you in the dark 
Don't be scared, you can just reach for me and I'll be there 
Don't lose hope, love will see you through you know 
Because

You, you'll never stand alone 
I'll be standing by 
I'll keep you from the cold 
I'llhold you when you cry 
I'll be there to be strong 

When you can't find the strength inside 
And you, you'll always have a home 
In these arms of mine 
You'll never stand alone 
Love is standing by

Standing by to life you above all the hurt and pain 
Standing by to carry you through all the tears and ain 
Reach for me, I'll be with you 
Reach for me, I'll see you through 

I'll be the one to hold you 
The one to show you that
You, you'll never stand alone 
I'll be standing by 

I'll keep you from the cold 
I'llhold you when you cry 
I'll be there to be strong 
When you can't find the strength inside 
And you, you'll always have a home 
In these arms of mine 
You'll never stand alone 
Love is standing by

I lost my heart 
A long time ago 
You make me feel 
Like no one had before 
Boy you make me love you 
Then you walked out the door 
Well I will not rest 
Until the say I am forever yours

And boy I won't stop at nothing 
I won't give you up and 
You've gotta feel sometthing I know 
I will not love again 
Until you come back 
Come back to my arms 
Till you come back to me baby 
Until you come back (to me)

Don't care how long 
It's not important to me 
Don't care how far 
Love's never too far for me 
I just might be crazy 
When it comes to my heart 
But I can not rest 
Until the day we're no longer apart

And boy I won't stop at nothing 
I won't get you up and 
You've gotta feel sometimes I know 
I will not love again 
Until you come back 
Come back to my arms 
Till you come back to me baby 
Until you come back (to me)

Nobody plays with my heart 
U can't walk away from it all 
U can run but your heart cannot hide 
Cause it knows you belong in my life

And boy I won't stop at nothing 
I won't get you up and 
You've gotta feel sometimes I know 
I will not love again 
Until you come back 
Come back to my arms 
Till you come back to me baby 
Until you come back (to me)

Now tell me how you feel if I told 
You that I have feelings for you 
And would it be so wrong to say 
What's on my mind 
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time 
What I feel inside for you has changed 
But I'd give up on love, if I thought 
That it was untrue for you

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

I know that we were just friends 
But what if I decide to bring something's in 
I hope it won't offend the trust 
We have cause I don't want this to end
I you think that we'll lose what we have 
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same 
(I'd rather stay the same) 
Cause I don't wanna choose 
Between two of the most precious things to me 
(tell me)

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

If we take this chance and extend 
To each other romance 
I hope it would be 
The right thing for you and me

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

Would you be there for me 
Could you dare to hold me 
Will my feelings leave me 
Lonely if I told you

Written by: Diane Warren

I tired of playing this game
And I won s play it no more
And I won s take it no more 
Through with being your fool
And I won s do it no more
And I won s, I won s keep up this act
Not for one minute
I l gonna pull, I l gonna pull this curtain down

This time I won s play this game
I made a vow to make a change and
I Bow Out (I won s be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade
I Bow Out (I won s be staying around baby)
I Bow Out

Can s go on with the show
Your just a stage I went through
Now your just fading from view. Yeah!
Time for a change of scene
Guess I kl be taking my leave
I guess I won s, I won s stay in this play
Not for one minute
I gonna make, I wanna make my exit now

This time I won s play this game
I made a vow to make a change and
I Bow Out (I won s be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade and
I Bow Out (I won s be staying around baby)
I Bow Out

When your left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you kl realize 
You should have learned to treat me right
And when this final act is finally through
Maybe you kl wish you c been 
The kind of man you should have been
Now watch me say goodbye and walk rightout of your life

Instrumental Break

Chorus: Fade out

Baby why I get so many people telling 
Me they seen you up in 
The mall 
Are they mistaking 
All up on some chick 
As though I don't exist 
What is this
Why they all up in our business 
It's just 2 ridiculous 
I can't get no sleep 
They just keep warning me 
Should I believe it 
They say I don't need it 
I just can't make up my mind 
Up my mind
Honey 2 many people say you're faking me 
They ask what have you done lately 
They say we won't last so they are predicting 
That it's over, it's over
Too many girls they dislike me 
Since I got you 
They wanna fight me 
Cause I'm the chick walking around 
With the ring 
Tell me why these hoes don't even like me

Why they all up in our business 
It's just 2 ridiculous 
I can't get no sleep 
They just keep warning me 
Should I believe it 
They say I don't need it 
I just can't make up my mind 
Up my mind

Oh boy it's all the love that you're giving 
They mind cause love is what they're missing 
That's why they stay up in our business

The day you held me in your arms 
I still smell da scent of you 
On my dress unbelievable 
And you was so masculine 
The way I felt your chest up next to mine 
I fell you in my heart 
Now I breathe love
You are so amazing 
Unbelievable baby 
It's you that make me smile 
When everything gets crazy 
And you the one I love 
No other man can faze me 
Cause you're in my heart 
Every minute, daily
The time you looked into my eyes 
I felt like falling in love 
And I was mesmerized 
Cause it's something you do 
That makes me feel this way
I can't explain 
You're my joy peace and happiness 
And you...
You are so amazing 
Unbelievable baby 
It's you that make me smile 
When everything gets crazy 
And you the one I love 
No other man can faze me 
Cause you're in my heart 
Every minute, daily

Remember when 
It all began 
We were all in love 
Then came the friends 
Telling you when your time for me 
Was good enough 
I constantly had to compete 
With you crew and their schemes 
Remembering 
Back in the day I used to mean everything
If we could just get it back 
(To the way it used to be) 
My only wish would be that 
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was 
(And I know that for a fact) 
We were oh so deep in love 
(If we could just get it back)
Now tell me why 
All of them nights 
You had so much to go 
When you said bye 
Sometimes I tried, I tried 
To make you choose 
Now tell me how you can allow
You boys to control the time 
We shared it was unfair 
But now it's time for you to know 
(Now if I told you) 
That I'm moving on 
(Boy what would you do) 
Things just ain't the same 
(We were supposed to) 
Conquer everything, yeah 
(Boy let me tell you)
You're got to make a change
If we could just get it back 
(To the way it used to be) 
My only wish would be that 
(Nothing would change with you and me) 
I remember how it was 
(And I know that for a fact) 
We were oh so deep in love 
(If we could just get it back)
If we could just get it back 
(To the way it used to be) 
My only wish would be that 
(Nothing would change with you and me) 
I remember how it was 
(And I know that for a fact) 
We were oh so deep in love 
(If we could just get it back)
(Do you rememebr) 
The way you used to love 
You would kiss and hug me 
(I rememebr) 
U haven't lately 
(Do you remember) 
All the things you gave me 
Everywhere you'd take me 
(Can't you see that) 
I really really need you back
If we could just get it back 
(To the way it used to be) 
My only wish would be that 
(Nothing would change with you and me) 
I remember how it was 
(And I know that for a fact) 
We were oh so deep in love 
(If we could just get it back)

Written by: Diane Warren

Did you really think that 
I would really take you back 
Let you back in my heart one more time 
Ohh. No. No.
Did you think that I c still care 
That there c be more feeling there 
Did you think you could walk back in my life. 
So you found you miss the love you threw away. 
Baby but you found it out too late. Too Late.
Chorus:And so now you know the way it feels to cry 
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two. 
Baby I learned the way to break a heart 
I learned from the best. 
I learned from you. 
Oh baby now. 
I learned from you
I remember cold nights 
Tears I though would never dry 
How you shattered my world 
With your goodbye.Your goodbye baby
Would u sold my soul then. 
Just to have you back again 
Now you're the last thing on my mind.
Now you say your sorry and 
You've changed your ways 
Sorry but you changed you ways too late.
Chorus
So when all you've got are sleepless nights 
When those tears are clouding up your eyes 
Just remember it was you who said goodbye 
Who said goodbye.

Chorus

Hey, oh, hey hey hey
See I was born in Newark (sure was)

We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tales
Nip wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
You know some disapproved it
They even boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time and time again

You know I was made to love him
Build my world around him and
Hey, hey, hey
He’s been my inspiration
Sho’ nuff appeciation
For the love I gave him through the years

Like a sweet magnolia trea
My love blossomed tenderly
My love grew sweeter through the years

I know my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That’s why we made it through the years

I was made to love him
Worship and adore him, yes say
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, oh Lord

All through thick and thin
Our love just won’t end
But I love my baby, love my baby, oh

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
I know I ain’t going nowhere
I was just a little thing
The love bug hit me
I had the fever with each passing year

If all should tumble
And the whole world crumble
By his side I’ll still be standing, yeah

Cuz I was made to love him
Made meant for him, say
Hey, hey, hey
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey

I love my baby
Nip aint’ going nowhere
Say hey, hey, hey

[Ad lib until fade]

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out
But you came home around three
Yes you did
If six of y all went out
Then four of you are really cheap, yeah
Cuz only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

1 -     It s not right, but it s ok
    I m gonna make it anyway
    Pack your bags, up and leave
    Don t you dare come running back to me

    It s not right, but it s ok
    I m gonna make it anyway
    Close the door behind you, leave your key
    I d rather be alone than unhappy

I pack a bag so you can leave town for a week, yes I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
(Why turn and look at me)
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street, boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

(I ve been through all of this before)
I ve been through all of this before
(So go out an dget your things)
Don t think about it, don t think about it
(And all the sleeping around, it takes some, boy )
They gon get yours
(Things are gonna change)
Things are gonna change, baby
( Cuz I won t be your fool anymore)
You don t stand a chance, boy
(That s why you ll have to leave)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(So don t turn around to see my face)
Don t you turn around
There s no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
Tell me boy
See I m moving on
And I refuse to turn back, yeah
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out you were making a fool of me, yeah

Repeat 1 until fade

Featuring Mariah Carey

Many nights we prayed 
With no proof anyone could hear 
In our hearts a hope for a song 
We barely understood 
Now we are not afraid 
Although we know theres much to fear 
We were moving mountains 
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes 
There can be miracles 
When you believe 
Though hope is frail 
Its hard to kill 
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve 
When you believe somehow you will 
You will when you believe 
[Mmmmmmmmmyeah] 
Mmmyeah 
In this time of fear 
When prayer so often proves in vain 
Hope seems like the summer bird 
Too swiftly flown away 
Yet now Im standing here 
My hearts so full, I cant explain 
Seeking faith and speakin words 
I never thought Id say 
There can be miracles 
When you believe (When you believe) 
Though hope is frail 
Its hard to kill (Mmm) 
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve (You can achieve) 
When you believe somehow you will 
You will when you believe 
[Hey] 
[Ooh] 
They don't always happen when you ask 
And its easy to give in to your fears 
But when you're blinded by your pain 
Can't see the way, get through the rain 
A small but still, resilient voice 
Says hope is very near, oh [Oh] 
There can be miracles (Miracles) 
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah) [Though hope is frail] 
Though hope is frail [Its hard] 
Its hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah) 
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh) 
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow) 
Somehow you will (I know, I know, know) 
You will when you believe [When you] 
(Ohoh) 
[You will when you] 
(You will when you believe) 
[Oohoohooh] 
[Oh...oh] 
[When you believe] 
[When you believe]
