Every Time I Close My Eyes

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' yes it has

It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you yeah

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you (that I've got you) yeah
And you've got me too (you've got me too)
And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true yeah
That someone like you loves me too yeah

Ooh ouh girl, I think that you're truly somethin', yes you are, yes
And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true yes you are, yes
With you baby, (with you baby) it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you (that I've got you) yeah
And you've got me too (you've got me too)
And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause

Talk To Me

What must I say to you
To get inside your head
Why must you always think
I Wanna get in your pants
And why I always gotta be
The closest thing to wrong
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need a woman to be strong

Well I ain't cryin', I ain't cryin'
Done 'bout run out of tears
But you're the closest thing to heaven
I need you to be near
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't make it more clear
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if I got you right here

Ooo girl, talk to me
You're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is I want you for my woman
ooo girl, speak to me
Let me hear you sayin' that you're stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you
I ain't nothin' at all

Why does everything I say to you
Have to be suspect
Feel like the only way I'll get with you
Somethin' blows off my head
Well I ain't tryin' to go out like that
Wanna keep myself clean
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need the strength from his queen

I ain't lyin', I ain't lyin'
Done 'bout run out of time
The only time I wanna do it right now
Is feel you by my side
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't be more sincere
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if I got you right here

[HOOK]

Well I said everything's gonna be alright
When you stand by my side
Gonna work things out tonight
We're gonna make out just fine
For once I'd like you to be
The one who has the faith in me
And I promise I won't let you down this time

When Your Body Gets Weak

Tonight I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna touch you, and lay you down
Tonight I'm gonna kiss you
I'm gonna taste you, all the way down

Tonight you don't have to be lonely
You need only to call me
And I will be down

When your body gets weak
And you need some affection, oh baby
I'll lay you down
When your body's in need
And you need some attention, oh lady
I'll lay you down

Tonight when I've been inside you
I'll lay down beside you, and stay all night long, yes I will
Tonight I just want you to teach me
Girl I just want to please thee
So just let's get it on, baby

Tonight there be no intermissions
I have only one mission
That's turning you on

[HOOK]

Tonight you don't have to be lonely
You need only to call me
And I will be down

Simple Days

I was born on the northside of a
Midwestern town
There was nine of us living in a
Three bedroom house

Didn't have much money, but we made do
'Cause Momma worked all day long
And daddy did too
Did all they could

Made sure we had clothes and food
Went to public schools and we
Followed public rules
We used second hand books, but oh

I didn't mind the books
Momma taught us early in life, everybody's gotta
Struggle sometime

[Chorus]
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you menat what you said

Had a friend named Bobby
Who always kept his word
We went through schoolyard fights
Had a thing for pretty girls

Didn't cost much money to
See the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That's where all the girlies used to go

Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
'Cause Bobby's girl, she worked there and
Sometimes she's break the rules
Picnics in the summer

Wouldn't wake up 'till noon
And even though Bobby's gone now
I can still hear him laugh
In the middle of June

[Chorus]

Sometimes I sit, I wonder
I reminisce, I think of all the good times
That we had in our lives
Sometimes I can't get over

How wonderful those days were
Back in our lives
Simple days for simple times

All Day Thinkin

You get inside of me and I don't even
(Know how to act, girl)
You have synergy that gets in me that's
(That's better than sex)
When we get inimate it's got to be as
(As good as it gets)
And I just can't wait to get home

Your sexuality it smothers me and
(And less I forget)
My own reality is fantasy it's
(I just got to admit)
That I desire you and think of you like
(Like all thru the day)
That I just can't wait to get home

Girl I be
All day, all day, all day
All day thinkin' about you
I be
All day, all day, all day
All day dreamin' about you

You are the good in me, the bad in me
(The love of my life)
You are the up in me, the down I me
(The love of my life)
And you are there for me to care for me
(At the end of each day)
And I just can't wait to get home
Your sexuality, it captures me
(And blows me away)
That I must think of thee at least a thousand
(A thousand times a day)

Seven Seas

Sitting by the window
All day thinking of you
Watching the days go by, I started to cry
But they weren't tears of sadness
They only meant I love you
And I want to tell you girl that I, oh, I

I'll travel 'round the seven seas for you
It's written in the melody I adore you
I wrote my love a symphony
To show you there's nothing I won't do
Baby I'll walk around the china wall for you
If there's a way I'll do it all for you
Anything you want me to, you know I would do

People think I'm crazy, they say
I'm just a nothing
Letting my life pass me by
Believing you're with me
Well I can't speak for no one
But in my heart I know you love me
And that's why I'll always tell you I
Oh I, oh I, oh I

Hook
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

The Day (That You Gave Me a Son)

'Twas late December the news came
And I got excited, I cried all day
And you were such a lovely, precious sight
When I saw our baby in your eyes

[Chorus:]
It was like falling deep in love
I heard the angels cry above
I felt a blessing straight from God
The day that you gave me a son

I called 'bout everyone I knew
Just think, I'll be a father 'cause of you
There's no greater love than what you gave
A brand new baby on the way

[Chorus:]
Oh such tears of joy, I've never known
I can't remember
It's like a song, I've never heard
I've never sung, but know the words

[Chorus:]

How Come How Long

[ Featuring Stevie Wonder ]

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save
Somebody's life

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some ... wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a man
Soon reality ...
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

This Is For The Lover In You

[ Featuring LL Cool J, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniels ]

Uh, uh, check it, uh, uh, uh
Word is bond, yeah

I will love you anyway baby
Anyway and every way I can
'Cause I'm that kinda man, yes
I will give you everything, baby
Give you more than any girl can stand
I'm gonna love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I'll talk about making love
In the shower least a hour
And let you dangle in my arms
'Cause love is power, can you feel it?
The sky's the limit once you reveal it
Your heart was wounded , God sent me to heal it
I'm on a mission ain't no stress love
Touch it with precision, just undress, love
I know the right position, come on, trust me, girl
Throw this rock up on your hand
I'll give you the world
Hey, yo, face, whoa
(Ooh, baby, baby)
On the real was the honey looking laced

[Chorus]
This is for the lover in you
This ring means I'll always be true
This is how we'll start love anew
This time's gonna last forever

I will love you all the way baby
Girl, that means this love will never end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'll take you anywhere baby
Just say when and girl I'll take you there
I'm gonna take you baby, baby, baby

We're going from Tahiti to France to Italy in one night
Drop top Bentley Coupe parked in the spotlight
And you can drive it laced in all white
I'm wearing triple black, a Gear's top flight
Trips to Venice the man a steel when a menace
A match made in heaven when we blend this
Lovers everlasting in other words endless
To love any other man would be senseless in yor face
On the real was the honey looking laced?

[Chorus]

Ladies and gentlemen, Howard Hewitt
I can say I never met a girl, no, no
Who satisfied my mental and my physical thing
When I lay me down to sleep
I rest assured with the thought
That you are right, right next to me

[Chorus]

It's for the lover in you, baby
With this ring I'll show you there ain't no maybe
It's for the lover in you baby. oh, yeah, yeah
Oh this time's it's gonna last forever, and ever, baby
It's for the lover in you, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh
It's for the lover in you, baby
And this time's it's gonna last forever
