Very Best Of

After 7 Very Best Of Lyrics
1.'til You Do Me Right

Written:Babyface/Melvin Edmonds/Kevon Edmonds

Lead vocals:melvin edmonds, kevon edmonds

I was in love with you
And gave my heart to you
I did my best to keep you satisfied
You took the love from me
And used it selfishly
You did not give back your
Love to me at all

I gave the sun to you
You said it was too bright
I gave you diamond rings
You said they didn't shine
I gave my world to you
But you said it's not enough
What in the world could i have done
To make you be so rough

'til you do me right
I don't even want to talk to you
I don't even want to hear you speak my name
'til you do me right
Only wrong is gonna come to you
Nothin' good is gonna come 'til you change
Change your ways
Until you change your evil ways

Girl i was there for you
Someone you could talk to
How could you just keep breakin' my heart
What did i do to you
To make you be so cruel
I don't understand why you've been so wrong

I tried to be your strength
You said i was too strong
I tried to compromise so
We could get along
I gave my love to you despite
Your evil ways
I guess it's clear to me there's only
One thing left to say


There's a time when you know what you
Feel inside your heart
It's tellin' you that somethin' feels strange
You don't have to deny it
All you gotta do is just try it
You'll find our love grows
Stronger if you're willing to change


2.Baby I'm For Real/natural High

Baby baby you dont understand
How much i love you baby
How much i wanna be your only man
And baby baby baby you don't have to go
Stay a little while longer, i wanna talk to you just a little
more

I see the little tears in your eyes, about to fall
You are wondering, if i'm for real

But if you cry, i wonder why you cry
I tell you no lie, this how i feel
Oh, baby i'm for real (hook)

Do do do do do do
Do do doooh

Baby baby baby you don't have to go
Stay a little while longer baby
Hold me baby, love me baby, yeah yeah
This is how i feel

Baby i'm for real
Baby i'm for real

But if you wanna know the truth about it
Girl i just cant live without it and that's why i'm professing
my love to you
So i can live my lif with you
Do do do do do
Do do dod do do

Baby i'm for real
Baby wipe the tears from your eyes
Now you wont have to cry no more
Baby i'm for real
Darlin hey yea baby

Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more till the day i die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you kissing you telling you why

Repeat hook 2x


3.Can't Stop

Last night, I had the time of my life, it's true
For last night, I made love for the very first time, with you

I never knew love could be so sweet
It never made a differece to me
But ever since the day that you appeared
I'm telling you, you've made the difference
Now love is so clear

Hook:
And I can't stop (I can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin on you
You diggin on me
We diggin on we

Last night, you brought something special out of me
And for the first time, you made my dream a reality

I never thought love was meant for me
For I was blind and could not see
You brought about a love that's so sincere
And I'm telling you, you've made the difference
Now love is so clear

Hook

You've got me thinking that I need protection
'Cause your love is so strong
I don't wanna do wrong
Girl your love seems like it's true perfection
You just give me a call
And I'll give you my all

Hook

You've got me thinking that I need protection
'Cause your love is so strong

You just give me a call
And I'll give you my all

4.Can He Love You Like This?

You give him all your love, well
You know you don't get that love in return
How could i get you to know
And though you seen it comin'
Girl you just couldn't get that man to ever learn
So this time i hope you move on
Cause you know, i'm what your missin
And you know that i'm good and its good that you need
So please tell me baby

Can he love you like this
Can he give the good lovin you need
Top it off with a kiss
Can he make you go all night long (hook)

I know it might seem dirty
But i'll do what i gotta do just to make you mine
And it was always a matter of time
You see i know that you want me
Cause i can tell by the way that you squeeze
You can't get that kinda lovin at home
I'll be strokin you, rockin you, turnin you on
And girl you know, that i'm what your missin'
And you know that i'm good and its good that you need
So please tell me baby, baby, baby

Repeat hook 2x

Oh cause you know, that i'm what your missin
And you know that i'm good
So please tell me baby noooo

Give you the love that you know that you need

6.Heat Of The Moment

L.a. reid and babyface

There comes a time in every man's life
You're gonna do wrong
I made a mistake girl..just let me..
Just let me explain

I can't believe it
Although i did it
I've never been that kinda man
I must admit it
I wasn't with it
But you were the best i've ever had

Right now i'm going thru some changes
I've always thought i was
A faithful kind of man
I never thought i would be tempted
Baby you licked my lips
And i said right now...right now

In the heat of the moment**
Baby i lost my head. lost my mind
Didn't know what to do
In the heat of the moment
Baby i fell in lust with you

Now that i've done it
Oh how i want it
But i've got to be a stronger man
I love my lady
Can't lose my baby
Cause if she knew
I'd lose everything i have

Don't want to go thru no more changes
From now on i promise i will be a better man
But here you are again temptin'
Baby when you lick my lips. i said
Right now, right now

Repeat chorus**2x

Baby baby you've got to slow down
From now on i promise i will be a better man
Now...now i know that you know
That we can't carry on like this
Girl stop...just stop
Baby when you kissed my lips, i said
Right now...right now

Repeat chorus 3x


7.Nights Like This


8.Not Enough Hours In The Night

i got so much i want to say
I got so much i want to do
There never seems to be enough
Time to be with you, so let me
Hold you in my arm and when the
Moment here and gone i'll be
Missing you. it's not fair when
The morning come and the night
Must fade, ooh i can't wait to
Hold you again cause there just

Chorus:

Not enough hours in the night
( to hold you), not enough hours
In these arms, to show you, the love
I feel inside, there just not enough
Time to love you.
Not enough,not enough

Verse 2

I want to hold you in my arms
I want to look into your eyes
I want to spend the rest of
Time making love with you, oooh,baby
I love so much, no time would ever be
Enough to be close to you, it's
Not right when the moon light fade
And the kisses end, ooh, i can't
Wait to kiss you again (yeah)

Chorus:

Not enough hours in the night
(to hold you), not enough hours
In these arms (to show you), the
Love i feel inside there just not
Enough time, (ah), not enough minutes
In a day (not enough to tell you that i
Love you), not enough time to do the things
(the things i want to do, yeah), not enough
Hours in the night, to love

If i can stop the clock every kiss
Would last forever, if i can spend for-
Ever here by your side, still wouldn't
Be no enough time for you and i, no,no

Repeat chorus


9.One Night

You've got that look in your eyes
And I've got plans for 2
Though you're the kinda girl
Who like to take her time with love
I'd gladly wait forever for you

But in the middle of the night
I know somethin ain't right
We've got something special girl
Let's give it a try

Hook:
1 night of touchin'
2 nights of trust
3 nights of huggin'
Makes 1 night of love

You've got that love in your heart
And I've got love for you

Who like to get right to the point
I wanna give my love to you

So in the middle of the night
When I'm holdin you tight
I'll show you how precious lovers
Love through the night

Hook

But in the middle of the night
I know something ain't right

10.Ready or Not

I'll give you the sun
The rain
The moon
The stars and the mountains
I'll give you the world
And all that you wish for
And even more

And that's for sure
I'd climb the highest hill
Cross the widest sea
Nothing could discourage me
And I pray that you will be
Always there for me
Forever more

Ready or not
I'll give you everything
And more
All that I've got, it's yours
I'll give you everything
All that you're lookin for

My time
My love is a fountain
I will be your earth
And all that you need for
And ever more
'Cause girl I love you more than words can show
My love is pure
I'll walk a thousand miles
Sail a thousand seas
Nothin' will discourage me
And I pray that you will
Always be there for me
Forever more

Everything's not anything
If you're not here to share my dream
You don't know what it means to me
If you'll accept my love
I dedicate my love
My soul
My heart beats for you
Girl I can't get enough
So I'll wait for your love
There's nothin that I'd rather do

Close to me
Indefinately
They say good things come to those
Who wait i need to hold you in my arms
