Jennifer Hudson - Love You I Do
I never met a man quite like you
Doing all he can, making my dreams come true
You're strong and you're smart, you've taken my heart
And I'll give you the rest of me too
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do
Mmm, I love ya
I never ever felt quite like this
Good about myself from my very first kiss
I'm here when you call, you've got it all
And confidence like I never knew
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do
You've got the charm, you simply disarm me every time
As long as you drive I'm along for the ride your way
You said it before, there won't be a door that's closed to us
I'm putting all my trust in you 'cause you, you'll always be true, oh!
I never could have known this would be
Oh, you and you alone, yeah, all for me
I know you're the best, you passed every test
It's almost too good to be true
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do, do
Doing all he can, making my dreams come true
You're strong and you're smart, you've taken my heart
And I'll give you the rest of me too
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do
Mmm, I love ya
I never ever felt quite like this
Good about myself from my very first kiss
I'm here when you call, you've got it all
And confidence like I never knew
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do
You've got the charm, you simply disarm me every time
As long as you drive I'm along for the ride your way
You said it before, there won't be a door that's closed to us

Jamie Foxx - Family
What about what I need?
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group.
What about what's best for me?
He feels the Dreams can crossover.
What about how I feel?
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.
What about me? What about me?
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real,
And you can't stop us now because of how you feel...
It's more than you, It is more than me
Whatever dreams we have, there for the family,
We're not alone anymore now there are others there,
And that dreams big enough for all of us to share,
So don't think that your going,
Your not going anywhere, your staying and taking your share, and if
You get afraid again, I'll be there,..
We are a family like a giant tree branching out towards the sky, we are a family we
Are so much more than just you and I we are a family like a giant tree,
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free... we need you... we are a family...

Jamie Foxx - It's All Over (Highlights Version)
Effie, Curtis was supposed to
Love me
Curtis was supposed to love me
There you are Effie, I've been looking all over
I turn my back and find myself out on the line
You could have warned me, but that would have been too kind
I've been warning you for months to clean up your act
You've been late, you've been mean
Givin' all kinds of bullshit flack
That's a lie, that's a lie
It's just I haven't been feeling that well
Effie, please
Stop excusing yourself
You've been late, you've been mean and getting fatter all the time
Now you lying, you lying
I never been so thin
You lying, lying
'Cause you're knocking off that piece who thinks she's better than everybody
She ain't better than anybody, she ain't nothing but common
Now who you callin' common?
You self-indulgent, self-absorbed and unprofessional
You
I'm calling you, I'm calling you, the common piece is knocking off
Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World
See, I put up with you for much too long
I have put up with your bitching
I've put up with your nagging, and all your screaming too
Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?
Stay outta this Lorelle, this is between Deena and me
Yeah, well it's between me too
I'm as much a part of this group as anybody else
And I'm tired, Effie, I'm tired
Of all the problems you're making up
I always knew you two were together
What?
Always knew you two were ganging up on me
She had nothing to do with this change
It was you
It was you always thinking of you
Always thinking of you
I knew you were trouble from the start
Trouble?
You were real bad trouble from the start
Curtis, I'm your woman
But you're getting out now
I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart
Go ahead and rant and scream and shout
Don't worry, baby, I'll buy you out
There's no money dirty enough to buy me out
You remember that, Curtis
Lay off Effie
Just take the money and run
You in this with them, CC?
Cool it Effie
This time you know what you've done
So they've got your black ass too, huh?
I said, cool it Effie
This time you've gone too far
Oh, I can go further, I can go further
I don't wanna stay around this
I'm just breaking into this business
This is between all of you
This is none of my affair
Yeah? Well, it's between you too now, little sister
This small job is just as much your sin
Look at me, look at me
How much did you put out to get in?
Now you watch your mouth, watch your mouth, Ms Effie White
'Cause I don't take that talk from no second-rate diva
Who can't sustain
I'm not feeling well, I've got pains
Effie, we all got pains
Oh, for seven years I sung with you, I was your sister
You were a trouble
And now you're telling me, it's all over?
And now we're telling you, it's all over
And now I'm telling you, I ain't going
It's all over
I ain't going
It's all over

I know you have questions
same ones as me
How long has it been?
How long will it be?
When will come the morning
to drive the night away?
Tell me when will come the morning
of a brighter day?

Take each other by the hand

And a mountain to climb

It's gonna take some time

We must walk in Peace

We got to walk in Peace

Jennifer Hudson - I Am Changing
Look at me
Look at me
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am.
I'm trying
To find a way
To understand.
But I need
I need
I need your help.
I am changing
Seeing everything so clear.
I am changing.
I'm gonna start right now right here.
I'm hoping to work it out.
And I know that I can
But I need you
I need a hand.
All of my life I've been a fool
Who said I could do it all alone.
How many friends have I already lost?
And how many dark nights have I known?
Walking down that long road. There was nothing u could buy.
All those years of darkness
Could make a person blind.
But now I can see that
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend
To help me start
All over again.
That would be just fine
I know it's gonna work out this time
Cause this time I am,
This time I am
I am
Changing.
I get my life together now.
I am changing
Yes I know how
I'm gonna start again.
I'm gonna leave my past behind
I'll change my life.
I make it up
And nothing is gonna stop me now.
Look at me
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am.
I'm trying
To find a way
To understand.
But I need
I need
I need your help.
I am changing
Seeing everything so clear.
I am changing.
I'm gonna start right now right here.
I'm hoping to work it out.
And I know that I can
But I need you
I need a hand.
All of my life I've been a fool
Who said I could do it all alone.
How many friends have I already lost?
And how many dark nights have I known?
Walking down that long road. There was nothing u could buy.
All those years of darkness
Could make a person blind.
But now I can see that
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend
To help me start
All over again.
That would be just fine
I know it's gonna work out this time
Cause this time I am,
This time I am
I am
Changing.
I get my life together now.
I am changing
Yes I know how
I'm gonna start again.
I'm gonna leave my past behind
I'll change my life.
I make it up
And nothing is gonna stop me now.

Eddie Murphy - I Meant You No Harm/Jimmy's Rap
And now the mellow sounds of Jimmy Early
I meant you no harm
I never meant to make you cry
You were the only one I've ever loved in my life
And though its hard for me to show it
I have got to let you know it
'Cause darling I love you more each day
But the words got in my way
Oh I meant you no harm
And I would die
If you ever said goodbye
I love you, I love you
I meant you no harm
I never never meant to make you cry
You are the only one I'll ever love in my life
Hold it, hold it hold it
I can't do it, I can't do it no more, I can't sing no more sad songs
One two three hit me
Bop be bop, bop be bop be deed bop
Bop be bop, huh yeah
Bass man, huh, come on up
One two three hit me
Uh, sound good, yeah
Saxophone on the floor, one two three, hit it
Yeah, hey, uh, come on
Horns hit it, uh, yeah
Hey curly let's rock with Jimmy Early
Got a home in the hills, Mercedes Benz, hot swimming pool, got lots of friends
Got clothes by the acre, credit to spare, I could wake up tomorrow and find nobody there
But Jimmy want more, Jimmy want more, Jimmy want, Jimmy want, Jimmy want more
Jimmy want a rib, Jimmy want a steak, Jimmy want a piece of your chocolate cake
And more than all that Jimmy want a raise, 'cause
Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul
Sooner or later
The time comes around
For a man to be a man to take back his sound
I gotta do something to shake things up
I like Johnny Mathis but I can't do that stuff
'Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got S-O-U-L soul
I can't do rock
I can't do roll, what I can do baby is show my soul
'Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got Jimmy got Jimmy got soul
I meant you no harm
I never meant to make you cry
You were the only one I've ever loved in my life
And though its hard for me to show it
I have got to let you know it
'Cause darling I love you more each day
But the words got in my way
Oh I meant you no harm
And I would die
If you ever said goodbye
I love you, I love you
I meant you no harm

Jennifer Hudson - One Night Only (Highlights Version)
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my love and soul, right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you, forever
The only trouble is, you really don't have the time
You've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have 'til dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give
One night only, one night only
You'll be the only one
One night only
Then you have to run
One night only, one night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only
Words get in the way
One night only
One night only
One night only

Beyonce - Listen
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own
A melody I start, but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind

If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me

Beyonce - Hard To Say Goodbye
[ Featuring Sharon Leal, Anika Noni Rose ]
Deena (The Dreams)
We didn't make forever.
We've each got to go our seperate way,
And now we're standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say.
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
When you're not sure what you're going for.
We didn't want this to happen,
But we shouldn't feel sad.
We had a good life together.
Just remember, remember, all the times we had.
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
And no matter I'll far I may go
In my heart you'll always be there
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love (It's so hard)
Hard to see you cry, my love (It's so hard)
Hard to open up that door.
When you're not sure what you're going for.
But we've got to grow
We've got to try
Though it's hard so hard
We've got to say goodbye
(We didn't make forever, but I'll always love you)
But I'll always love you
(We didn't make forever, but I'll always love you)
But I'll always love you
[repeat until fade]
(It's so hard, baby it's so hard)
Hard...

Jamie Foxx - When I First Saw You
[ Featuring Beyoncé ]
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my, that's my dream
That's my dream"
Oh, I needed a dream when it all seemed to go bad
Then I find you and I have had the most beautiful dreams
Any man's ever had
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my, that's my dream
That's my dream"
I needed a dream to make me strong
You were the only reason I had to go on
You were my dream, all the things that I'll never knew
You were my dream, who could believe they would ever come true?
And who would believe the world will believe in my dreams too?
Before you appeared, life was only a game
And day in and day out were the same, oh
Now the dream's (the dream's)
Coming true (coming true)
Like a star, see it shine (like a star)
A dream that is yours (that is yours)
That is mine (that is mine)
You were my dream
(Now I've got dreams of my own)
All the things I can never be
(Dreams you'll never know)
Oh-oh-oh
You won't take my dreams from me
When I first saw you, oh
I said, "Oh my"
I said, "Oh my
That's my dream"
