1.Doin' Just Fine

Lyrics:Shawn
Music:Shawn

There was a time when I thought life was over and out
When you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe
Would sit in my room
Because I didn't want to
Have to go out
And see you walking by
One look and I'd break right down and cry
Now you say that you made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
'Cause it may seem hard to believe, but

Chorus:
I'm doin' just fine
Getting along very well
Without you in my life
I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

You were my earth
My number one priority
I gave my love to only you
Anything you'd ask of me
I would do
But somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather and told me that you had to
journey on
A kiss in the wind and your love was gone
Now you say you never meant to play your games
Girl don't you know it's far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart

Chorus

When you said goodbye
I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn't sleep
My heart was much to weak to make it on my own
Baby after all the misery
And pain you put me through
So unfair to me girl
You're no longer my world and I ain't missin' you at all

Chorus

See baby when you walked away
You didn't think it would end up this way
But I knew you'd come around someday
Just as sure as my name is Wanya


2.Never

Lyrics:Boyz Ii Men/Babyface
Music:Boyz Ii Men/Babyface

In this world today
Love is scarce and far away
And your heart gets so afraid
To trust someone
All the times he let you down
There was no love to be found
Well it's not the end
There'll be time to mend
And you'll love again

Chorus:
Never
Never let a broken heart
Take a chance for love away
Don't never let it make you
Fall apart
Never
Never ever let the pain
Take your need for love away
Never, no never

And I know it seems hard
Open up let down your guards
But you owe it to your heart
With the past
Don't take the blame
Don't be ashamed
Throw your fears away

Chorus

Bridge:
I know don't be afraid
For you will never find
Another one love again
I know that you'll be sorry girl
Be strong before it's too late
Because forever is too long
For you to live in pain
Just don't give up
Please open up to love

Chorus


3.4 Seasons of Loneliness

Lyrics:Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis
Music:Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis

I long for the warmth of days gone by
When you were mine
But now those days are memories in time
Life's empty without you by my side
My heart belongs to you
No matter what I try
When I get courage up to love somebody new
It always falls apart 'cause they just can't compare to you
Your love won't release me I'm bound under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch 4 seasons change

Chorus:
In comes the winter breeze
That chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the misteltoe
When springtime makes it's way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume
When summer burns with heat
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare
When you're not here it doesn't feel the same

Remember the nights when we closed our eyes
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time
Anytime I think about these things I shared with you
I break down and cry 'cause I get so emotional
Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch 4 seasons change

Chorus

This loneliness
Has crushed my heart
Please let me love again
'Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain
Or 4 seasons will bring the loneliness again

Chorus


4.Girl in the Life Magazine

Lyrics:Babyface
Music:Babyface

I fell in love with the girl in the picture
That I use to keep
Carried her 'round in the back of my pocket
She was always with me
I imagine that I was a man of importance
And she had a fancy for me
And I use to dream she would call
Crying her eyes out
She had an obsession with me
I was the love of her life
And she was all mine

Chrous:
The girl in the Life magazine

The first time we met in an aisle
At the market
She was staring at me
I knew even then we would share
Something special
And it was like chemistry
I fell in love from the moment I saw her
So I took her straight home with me
And that's where I'd dream
She would step right out of the picture
And spend a while evening with me
And oh how she hated to go
Back to her picture

Chorus

All of my friends use to laugh
Said I was certifiably mad
'Til the day that she came
And she blew them away
And asked me if I'd be her man
It seems that she went and fell
In love with my letters
Says she's been looking for me
So the story ends well
We end up together

Chorus


5.A Song for Mama

Lyrics:Babyface
Music:Babyface

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I'll always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah
There isn't anything
Or anyone that I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there
To comfort me
And no one else can be
What you have been to me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times

Chorus:
Mama
Mama you know I love you
(Oh you know I love you)
Mama
Mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my sound

You're always there for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
(Yes you did)
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me
I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be
You will always be
The girl in my life

Chorus

Never gonna go a dau without you
Fills me up just thinking about you
I'll never go a day
Without my mama

Chorus


6.Can You Stand the Rain

Lyrics:Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis
Music:Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis

On a perfect day
I know that I can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me can you weather the storm
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
She will always, always be right there

Chorus:
Sunny days
Everybody loves them
Tell me
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain

Love unconditional
I'm not asking this of you
We've got to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
She will always, always be right there

Chorus

Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain

No pressure
No pressure from me baby
'Cause I want you
And I need you
And I love you
Will you be there for me?

Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain
Can you stand the rain


7.Can't Let Her Go

Written:Boyz Ii Men/P.Daddy/R.Lawerance/S.Jordan/L.Blackm

Chrous:
I can't let her go
I can't let her go
'Cause I need the love she gives to me
I can't let her go
I can't let her go
And she knows that we were meant to be

First time I saw her
Thought that I would lose my mind
Just had to have her
I had to haver her (all mine)
The way you make me feel
Is like no other feeling I ever had before
You give the kind of lovin'
Make a brother wanna come for more and more
She's the one I adore

Chorus

Just can't believe it
She's got me open all the time
She knows I'm never leavin'
Can't be wrong
'Cause it feels so right
The way you make me feel
Is like no other feeling I ever had before
You give the kind of lovin'
Make a brother wanna come for more and more
She's the one I adore

Chorus

Bridge:
No one can do what you do
When you do what you do to me
And I can't believe
Can it be that it's me
That you're feelin'
It's ecstasy

Chorus

Do you really wanna rock tonight
Come on come on come on come on

Say you really wanna get your
Body on tonight (come on)
We can dance if you wanna dance
All night come on come on

Wanna party all night long

Come on

Looks so fine, fine

The way you look into my eyes
And how you wear your hair
And oh the stylish clothes you wear
When you walked in the room
I knew that it was on
And I hope that this feeling goes on and on come on

If you wanna dance
Come and take a chance

10.All Night Long

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Keith Crouch/John'Jubu'Smith

Chorus:
You say the things you feel are right
But I feel those things are wrong
And for that we fight all night long
If you knew all the things I knew
Walked a mile inside my shoes
It could make our love flow all night long

There you go
Trippin' on the things I say
'Cause things ain't going your way
Friends say I should leave
But love forces me to stay
I try
Try to give you all of my time
Still I feel denied
And when we fuss and fight I keep askin' myself why

First Bridge:
Every single day I pray that we can make things right
'Cause when it seems we're going somewhere
Problems seem to arise
What must we do
Do to make each other see
This relationship should be
All about me for you
And you for me

Chorus

What's the deal
Do you ever feel the things I feel
I try to keep our lovein' for real
Even when it seems we don't see eye to eye
You know
I never wanna see you go
'Cause you're the best I've ever known
So tell me just how long it's gonna take to be

Second Bridge:
Happy every day and every night just like we should
'Cause to be happy with you all my life I know I could
What must I do
Do to make you trust in my
Is that a possibility
Don't you know that it hurts me when we disagree

Chorus

B Section:
Baby today
We'll put the past behind
Let's not waste no time
We can do it ohh all night
I like it when you do the things you do to me all night

Chorus


11.Human II(Don't Turn Your Back On Me)

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis

I know this was my fault but
How much should it cost
To make things right
Do I have to pay for life
We all fall short sometimes
And I'm guilty of that crime
But I just wanna make you see
That you can still believe in me

Chorus:
I know I make mistakes
I am what I am
I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

Speak to me let me know how you feel
If you feel like you can hold on and be strong
I will never leave you lonely
I cry sometimes 'cause I make you cry
And that ain't right
I won't make the same mistake twice
Baby please forgive me

Bridge:
No I can't erase the wrong I've done
But I hope you can give me another chance
'Cause if you were me you would want the same
And I'd give that chance to you


12.To the Limit

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Puff Daddy/Jeffery Walker/Steven Jord

Chorus:
I'll rub your back
Wash your hair
I'll do anything
I don't care
I'll cook your food
Buy your clothes
To the limit
I will go
I will go

I guess you wonder
Where I've been
I've been thinking 'bout
The perfect way
To express my thoughts within
You mean everything to me
And I wanna be the only man
To supply your needs

Chorus

I await your precious kiss
Gets my head when they spread sweet and wet across my lips
I respond to every single touch
Got me open on your love
Wanna give you so much

Chorus

Bridge: (Mike Speaks it)
Baby
The things I do for you
Take you out for a night on the town
And after I'll run you some bath water
With some bubbles
Do you like bubbles?
I'll dry you off
And lotion your body down
You'd like that wouldn't you
I'll do anything you want me to
You know I don't care


13.Dear God

Written:Boyz Ii Men/D.Bottoms/J.Jones/T.Huston/V.Green/R

Dear God,
It's me again...I am so far from where I could have been
Dear God, I would be incomplete
But you came and touched my life in time of need
So I'm thanking you for all you've done
And for sacrificing your only son

Chorus:
That's why I'm writing you this letter
To let you know that I love you
Thank you for all that I am and for being a friend
Lord, my love for you'll never end

Dear God,
It's Shawn this time...I'm so grateful for the way you've
changed my life
I'd give all I have, I'd just throw it all away
For a chance to walk with you through heaven's gates
That's why I'm thanking you for your love and your grace
I don't deserve these blessings that you give to me

Chorus

Interlude:
Dear God,
As a humble man I come to you like a child
Needing your knowledge, your love, and your guidance Lord
Thank you for trusting me with my own life's decisions
But I'm just a man, and I don't deserve this incredible life
that you've given me
I love you Lord, I love you

Dear God, it's me Wanya...I'm so sorry, so sorry for living for
me
But I promise from this day on I'm livin' for you
'Cause without you my life means nothing

Chorus
