In Alphabetical Order

Better Off

Now Let me tell you a story

I’m gonna tell you something true

It’s been 49 days

And I ain’t never thought about you

Don’t ya come around here

Trying to get me to miss you

I put that song to rest

Cuz baby we’re through

C:

See I’m doing just fine without you in my life

And I’m Better off without you

V2:

You did me wrong

You know you did

And nothing you can say or do

Is gonna make me forget it

So get acquainted with the back of this door

Cuz you ain’t never coming through

You had it wrong thinking when you left

That I’d be blue, alright

C:

See I’m doing just fine without you in my life

And I’m Better off without you

You held me down yes

Trying to lord all my time

I got some news for ya baby

You can’t shade my light

Since you’ve been gone I never shine so bright

You can see my glitter like a star in the night

See I’m doing just fine without you in my life

And I’m Better off without you

 

Can’t Take Anymore

You tell me its in my head

But I can’t hear what you’re saying

I see your lips move

But I’ve gone deaf

to the game that you’re spittin'

Now you ain’t gotta lie

I can see it in your eyes

C:

So you can just leave (just leave)

I don’t want you anymore

You can go (just go)

Get yourself another girl

Cuz I took all I can take

And I can’t take anymore

 

You say she means nothing to you

And that I’m acting crazy

That clever act is a tactic

That just won’t work on me

Now don’t look so surprised

I can see through all your lies

Chorus

B:

Now you must be some kind of fool to mess with me

I thought I told ya, you know I told ya

This isn’t just some kind of democracy

I operate on a one strike policy

Chorus 

His Game

Darling, you know you got me

Twisted up inside

Baby, you know just what to say

To bring me to my knees

Chorus:

I love him

And I need him

Why does he torture me so?

I know he don’t Love me

No he’s just playing

But lord knows I love

His Game

Sugar sweet thing, why do you do

All the cruel things you do to me

See I’m begging Yes I’m down on my knees

Won’t you just do right be me

I love you

And I need you

Why do you torture me so

I know you don’t love me

You’re just playing

But lord know I love your game

Bridge:

I just can’t help myself, and I know it aint’ right

Got willpower all day long, Till he calls me up at night

But my heart is growing stronger, And you’re running out of time

So won’t you straighten up baby and tell me you mine

Chorus:

I love him

And I need him

Why does he torture me so?

I know he don’t Love me

No he’s just playing

But lord knows I love

His Game

Yes only lord know, yes I love his game

 

Want me Too

Just last May

 I

 Passed a very handsome man

Along my way

Our eyes met

And he smiled

Oh the rest is history

Now I

Couldn’t be happier

Everywhere I go

There are flowers

He holds my hand oh

he understands me

And every night he’s singing to me

(what he says)

Chorus:

I want you, I need you, I love you

Do you love me too?

We went walking by the river

I got ahead just a little way

I turned around his knee was on the ground

I said baby did you fall,

He said yes he fell for me

Now we’re going to the chapel

And we’re gonna get married

And I can’t believe

It’s happened to me

I know it sounds cliché and

it makes me I feel silly

But every night for the rest of my life he’ll be singing to me

Chorus repeat

Move

He said he like the way I Move

He watched the way I work a room

Said I make his heart go boom

Cuz baby likes the way I move, move, move

Hey, clear some space

My ladies and I are gonna turn out this place

Oh, we put on a show

But you’ll just have to watch from behind those velvet ropes

VIP, that’s where we’ll be

So If you wanna step to me

You got to earn it baby

You got to show me how you move

If you wanna see my Hotel room

That’s the way to make my heart go boom

You got to show me how you move

If you got a pretty face, I bet I’ll like ya

And if you got height for me, I won’t deny ya

Think you can hang, then step right up boy

Now dance for me to get my number

B:

We came to party

All my ladies on the dance floor feeling naughty

I can see that you feel me

So if you wanna play

Then you got to got to show me how you Move..move

Hey mister watch the way I shake it

Don’t hold your glass too close I’ll break it

Cuz when I hear that drum beat and that bass groove

I just got to make my body Move

chorus repeat

 

Other Woman

Another Time maybe we,

Baby we could’ve been good

I know you ain’t free

 To treat me like you should

I’m never gonna be ok

With second place

So if you can’t give me all your time and loving

Then baby, you ain’t gonna get me

C: Now I like all the things you’re saying

But you can count me out of the games that you’re playing

I know it’s hard to stop something you began

But I’ll never be your other woman

I know you think you mean

All the things you’re saying

I heard through the grapevine

That you got another woman on the side

I don’t know who you think I am

But I don’t share my man with anyone

If you can tell me I’m your one and only then baby

You got to let me be

Now I like all the things you’re saying

But you can count me out of the games that you’re playing

I know it’s hard to stop something you began

But I’ll never be your other woman

 

Shed

Oops I didn’t know that you were so

Sensitive that I couldn’t tell you

All of the ways you screwed up,

Our relationship

Guess I didn’t notice you growing

Some new emotions and losing your backbone

But I wouldn’t recognize what I’ve never seen

Before

Pc

So don’t you point you finger at me

I’ll give up my silence to find some relief

You had you chance to make your amends

But you didn’t take it

Chorus

So I’m gonna shed

 All these emotions

I’ve been wearing around

Gonna shed

all your lying skin

It’s just weighing me down

Weighing me down

Thought I cleaned my blood of your venom

Yet here you are still spreading your poison

The face you don’t show is the one that I know

All too well

With all of your colors you like to fool them but

Never again will I be your victim

Now I am your mirror reflecting to you your

Fiction

P.C

Chorus

Bridge

You know that I got your number baby

And I intend to

 share that information

Chorus repeat and out

 

They Always Come Back

Baby girl,

I know you’re feeling

Like he took your world,

 and left you defeated

Well Save your tears,

you ain’t need em

It’s a fact they may leave

But they always come back, ya

They Always come back

All those feelings will grow dusty, you’ll see

And you’re gonna find another love in your life, trust me

That’s about the time he’ll be calling you up at night saying

baby baby forgive me

Now you see that,

 it’s a fact they may leave but they always come back

Just when you forget the curves of his face,

That when he appears at your place

Saying he heard you were looking great

So he thought he’d stop by

Just in case

B:

Darling darling

Don’t you forget it

He had his chance

But he failed ya

He realized it’s never gonna be as good as he had it

And that’s why, that’s why

They always come back

Trying to Remember

Didn’t you used to call me

Call me Baby?

And didn’t you used to

pick up your phone when I rang?

Now wasn’t there a time when I used to

Used to trust you?

Now here you are begging me

To come back to you

C:

I’m trying to remember ( when you were good to me)

I’m trying to remember ( the way that I used to Feel)

I’m trying to remember ( A time when our love was real)

But Right now all I wanna do

Is forget

V:

I know you used to be the kind of man

I could count on

But somewhere along these 3 years 2 months and 5 days

we went wrong

You’ve been hiding things and lying and you got me questioning everything

Now you’re standing her promising me you’re going to change,

(I don’t know what to think)

C: I’m trying to remember ( when you were good to me)

I’m trying to remember ( the way that I used to Feel)

I’m trying to remember ( A time when our love was real)

But Right now all I wanna do

Is forget

B: I invested my soul

Get my mind right is what I owe

seems I’m at a crossroad and I don’t know which way to go

 

Wicked

Something wicked this way comes

The first time you laid eyes on him

He was wearing black Armani

He looked like a movie scene

Drinking dirty martinis

He smiled at you in the mirrored bar

When he caught you watching

Now His attention is yours and you feel lucky

 But you’ll be sorry

He’s wicked, he’ll break your heart

A tangled web he’ll weave, and you’ll be caught

He flip ya and then he’ll slip ya

He’s wicked,

but you like it

Hypnotizing, little line schemes

say you’re so

Pretty pretty pretty pretty

Like he read your mind, he knows just what to say

But when you look away he’ll be on his blackberry

He blows in the a thunderstorm

One that shakes you all night

He’ll pull your hair just right

Then be gone with morning light

Bridge:

Love is just his game

Your hearts the currency

If you won’t walk away

I suggest you learn to play

Chorus

 

Your Boyfriend

Guess where your boyfriend was last night?

I bet he wasn’t answering his phone

Had you wondering if he’d come home

Well I think it’s time you know

Guess where your boyfriend was last night

He was standing on my front porch

He was ringing up my door

Just like he’d done 9 times before

P.C

And he begged me, to let him in

Hollering that he was a changed man

Said this time would be different

Naively I believed him

Guess what your boyfriend said last night

That he came around to reminisce, honey

He missed the was we used to kiss, Ya see

Back when I was his

Guess what your boyfriend said last night

He’d been stalking my status on Facebook

Said I’m like a drug and he’s hooked

Then he gave me that old slick look

P.C

And He told me he was unattached

Said, baby, there’s no one else

Then he moved in for the kill

I felt a chill run down my back

Ladies Don’t trust Him

Don’t let him in

You’ve got to put him out

Like the Dog he is

And when your boyfriend left last night

I did some checking of my own

Found out he was never alone

He’d been playing me all along

Now don’t get it twisted I’m not the one who missed him

He lied on his own, I’m just another victim

This information is long overdue

But I swear it, I didn’t know about you

He’ll never change his dirty ways

Ulterior motives, that's the game he plays

Ladies Don’t trust Him

Don’t let him in

You’ve got to put him out

Like the Dog he is 

Guess Where Your Boyfriend Was Last night.

 

Your Presence

Your Presence,

Surrounds me

I feel you

Within these wall

Your scent lingers

On my pillow

I swear I see you

In the shadows

And I can’t breathe

I said I can’t breathe

Because your presence

Is suffocating

All the lonely nights

I prayed in vain

Asking why

But no answer came

I felt the pain

Lord I never felt that kind of pain

I tried to rest my weary head

But no sleep ever came

All those cruel shadows

Keep showing me your face

And it feels like

I’ll go insane

And It makes me wonder

Did I bring this on myself

Will I ever be whole again

Well I guess, only time will tell

And now Your Presence

Is all that you left me

Oh and now your Presence

Feels like a disease

Addicted To The Pain

Intro: Oh mia bello, mi struggio mi tormento, oh dio

Ever day feels like I’m hiding

Afraid of a pain I can not name

Wake me up, I’m dreaming

And I can’t seem to get away

Chorus:

I’m addicted, I must be baby

I put up with the things that you do to me

I’m an addict and I feel so ashamed

I’m addicted to the pain

I like the feeling of tears running down my face

I like the burn of the fight

Can’t get enough of the push and the pull and the crave

I keep coming back though I know it’s not right

Chorus

Bridge:

Use me, abuse me, tell me I’m nothing to you baby

And when you call I’ll still come runnin to you baby

Now I know something’s wrong deep down inside

Oh the pain I can take, but if you were to leave I won’t survive

Chorus:

 Outro

Happy 

I used to be so angry

I couldn’t face the way it all ends

Then I could see the gift I was given

To move on, I could be strong

And one day when I least expect it

I’ll see you on the street

Maybe our eyes will meet

And I’ll smile, oh I know

Chorus

I’ll be happy to see you, and happy to greet you, and happy for the life that you lead

Though I made it without you, I’ll never forget you

In my eyes you’d see, all the memories

Made me Happy

Bittersweet we left it

I tried my best to wish you well

But I wasn’t ready to let you go

I fought so long, It felt so wrong

Then slowly I came to see

We weren’t meant to be

You weren’t for me

But in my heart I hope you know someday I’ll be

Chorus

Bridge:

All our history, has come to mean so many things

Time changes everything

Happy- I hope you’ll be

Happy- I hope you know that I’m

Happy- Happy

Happy- And I hope you’ll be

Happy- I hope you know that I’m

Happy- Happy

And someday when I least expect it

I’ll see you on the street

Maybe our eyes will meet

And I’ll smile

It’s Too Late

It’s been five long years I’ve put up with all that mess

It’s been five long years, I’ve survived without your caress

And now it’s 3 am and you’re callin’ me late again

Sayin’ baby baby baby, won’t you please let me in

Chorus

I said it’s too late

Oh now baby it’s too late

I’m movin’ on

A long time ago I let you break my heart

Said A long time ago I let you play that part

Breakdown:

And then I threw you out, cuz there was nothin’ left to do

Now you’ve been callin’ me baby, I had enough of you

Think you can come back

Oh come back to my life – oh no-

Chorus

Break

Breakdown

Chorus x’s2

 

Little Bit Of Sun

Why do you wanna break my heart

Oh why do you wanna hurt me so bad

Why do you think you can just call me

And say the things you said

I am a strong woman

But you can make me so weak

You just took your love away

Took everything away from me

Chorus:

 And warm tears on my cheeks, don’t hide the cold heart you’ve shown

Oh cryin’ all night, don’t make it easy in the morning

Thoughts in my head, don’t make my heart feel less pain

And a little bit of sun, don’t dry up all the rain

I took you’re pictures down

And I put them away

I never really thought

 It would be this way

Do you think I’m naive

That you could play me for a fool

That the words  that you say

Could cover up all the wounds

Chorus

Breakdown

Chorus

 

Love Me Right

Boy Don’t I deserve some Lovin

All the things that I do for my man

I’ve done you right, night after night

But you paid me no attention and you gave me no affection

All of this time I stood right by your side

I gave my heart now I can’t get it back

Chorus

And It hurts me Baby, what have you done for me lately?

And I try, but I can’t seem to give up on you

All the tears I cry, when you don’t even try

To Love me, you’ve got to love me, right

Boy,  why don’t you see what you’re losin’

When everyone can see what you had

 Everything that I do, is motivated by you,

 But the times they are a-changin’, and my life I’m re-arrangin’

All of this time I stood right by your side

I gave my heart now I can’t get it back

Chorus

Repeat and Fade

Should’ve Known

I Thought what we had was special

I thought you held me with respect

And though it ended, still thought that you loved me

Thought I’d be hard to forget

Now you’re running around with another

Who couldn’t hold a torch to me

But it’s her you’re spending your nights with

And I’m left here feeling so foolishly

Chorus:

I should’ve known

You were nothing but a liar

I should’ve known, not to let you in my heart

Guess you lied when you told me ( boy you lied)

I was special and meant something

That you hold what we had in your heart

And you’d think of me tenderly

You can try to replace me (you can try)

We both know that you’ll fail ( you can try)

She can be your distraction

As you pretend anyone could compare

Chorus

Bridge:

Boy you were lucky to have me

And spend some time in my life

Soon you’ll come to regret

What you disrespect

When its too late to wake up

And see what you gave up

Chorus x’s 2 

 

You’ve Got To Love You

Girl Keep your head up, It’s all gonna be alright

Everything’s gonna be just fine

I know it seems to rain on you sometimes

But you’ve got to keep on walking in the light

Chorus

And I know it feels like they try to kick you

When you’re down

But baby remember that you’ve gotta love you and

Keep your feet on the ground

Girl keep your strength up, you’ve got a long way to go

And don’t you ever let them tell you no

I know your dreams seem far away at times

But you will never get there if you don’t try

Chorus

Bridge:

What you give ain’t always what you’re gonna get

Some days you will cherish

Some days you’ll try to forget

-Oh yeah-

Chorus
