Boyz II Men Ii Lyrics
1.Thank You

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Dallas Austin

I was young (bop)
And didn't have no where to run
I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)
What's in front of me (na-na-op)
There had to be, a better way
To show I'm grateful (hum)
So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me

Chorus:
'Cause even though when times get rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank uooo)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)

All through my life
I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing every where I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
You've seen me through
I sure enough couldn't have survived without you
And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long...
You don't know how much you mean to me

Chorus

3.U Know

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Tim Kelly/Bob Robinson

I heard you're gonna leave me
I've known it for awhile
I wasn't naive to the news
My mind just couldn't walk a mile
I only see you with me
'Cause I know the things you like
I know all that you believe
And all the plans of your life
So take a minute to understand me
To re-evaluate your mind
I'm everything you need
And in this world a good man is hard to find
And I know you miss me
When all is said and done
You'll think about this day
And then you'll realize I was the one

Chorus:
You know that all you need is in me and
You know that my love's all right and
Baby you know I can't be denied girl
You know, ohh you know, you know

Gave you all a man could give ya,
Made sure I found the time,
To keep it all together,
But the way you're treating me ain't right (can't understand) it
Why you're doing me the way you're doing,
Do you enjoy to see our love fade away
Can't face the world without ya
Can't even sleep at night
Gave you all that treasured
And I tried to love you will all my might
And I know you'll miss me when all is said and done
You'll think about this day and realize I was the one
You know


4.Vibin'

Written:Boyz Ii Men/Tim Kelly/Bob Robinson

Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe

Coolin' at the studio you know how the story goes
Bobbin' our heads to the tune we're about to do
It's laid back swing thang
The groove we feel is strong, we need peace here to get it on
Having fun as we go, makin' sure the flavor shows
'Cause we're feeling alright
Takin' our time to free our minds and have a ball, ya'll
Everything's fine, it ain't nothing to it 'cause
We're gonna do it all, what are we doin'?

Chorus:
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', non stop until the break of day

In a dark room with blue light
In the basement music just right
Nothing goin' down but the mellow sounds
Of Mr. DJ's turntables goin' round
A mad sensation, a crew of women around sparks inspiration
To set something off the right way to hear the people say
That we're feelin' alright
Takin' our time to free our minds and have a ball ya'll
Everything's fine it ain't nothing to it
'Cause we're gonna do it all, don't you know that

Chorus (repeats a lot)


5.I Sit Away

Lyrics:Tony Rich
Music:Tony Rich

Who says the sea can't move in winter
Or clouds stand still in a storm
We says a man can't cry and be lonely
Who says a man can't tend to be bored

And if you could see inside my heart
You would see loneliness
And if I could show you my mind
You would be depressed

Chorus:
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes

So I gather my things
And be on my way
Into my lonely place
Said I'm feelin' lonely and lonesome
And I just need to get away

And if you could know what I'm afraid of
You would be frightened
And if you could feel the pain that
I'm feelin'
Then you would know why, I

Chorus

Breakdown:
Sit away
Said I get away
Said I sit away
Said I sit away

Why do I feel
Like I will never be loved again
There I go
Back in my mood again
Lonely, lonely

Chorus


6.Jezzebel

Lyrics:Wanya/Shawn
Music:Wanya/Shawn

(The Characters:Troy Taylor/Charles Farrar)

Saw you on a Sunday afternoon
Riding the B train
Yes, I was coolin' on the train
You had an air about you I had to know and soon
First sight and I didn't
Even mind the rain!

Your glow was the alment
To all my pain inside
I sat beside your body and asked your name
Your fragrence made it hard to explain my plight
Of how you're driving me insane

Chorus:
Jezzebel don't know you well
I can't believe how my feelings took over
But I'd like to
Let me know let you know that I'm on
And I want you
Aiming to please just let me show you

The moment that you opened up your lips
I knew that you were the one
Hope you don't mind if I touch your finger tips
Please don't draw the line just yet
I promise I won't go too far
'Cause you've been warning me
Ever since I saw your face
I can't escape you now
Be mine and wait and see love that
Many people search their whole life for
Here to let you know babe,
That I'm real, oh so real

Chorus

Breakdown:
Wanna get to know you
Don't know your nationality
Can we converse and see
When's a good time to get together
Baby...am I being a little fast
No, I don't know
Maybe so I don't think so
In fact I don't care
All I want to do is touch your hair
What perfume are you wearing
Oh, oh the smell

Chorus


7.Khalil(Interlude)

Lyrics:Nate/Shawn
Music:Nate/Shawn

To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain

To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
Here we go again


8.Trying Times

Written:Wanya/Tim Kelly/Bob Robinson

Baby I'm so glad you're here
'Cause I have so many thing to tell you
So many things to talk to you about
'Cause your the strength I hold onto
And I hope I'm the strength that you hold onto
So we can strive together and be perfect
Til' death do us part

The nights gone the morning's here
And soon it's time to talk about
Where we stand and where we plan
To be in life long years I need to know
I keep crying tears of joy
I guess that's why you're put here for
To change these tears of pain
To tears of happiness

Chorus:
Through the trying times
Trying to get the best of me
I'm still finding time to show I care
With my crying eyes
I see contentment because of you

Trials and tribulations build up walls
In front of faces made of stone
Yet we stand strong enough
To break the walls down to journey on
But I know if we just bond our hearts
There will be nothing that will stand in our way
And we'll be together forever and a day


9.I'll Make Love to You

Lyrics:Babyface
Music:Babyface

Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all through the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask

Chorus:
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Till you tell me to

Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me, you know, I'll do

Chorus

Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life

Chorus


10.On Bended Knee

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

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll gurantee
That I'll never let you go

Chorus:
Can we go back to the days when our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
They way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

Chorus

Mike's Monolauge:
Baby, I'm sorry
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done
Please come back home girl
I know you put all your trust in me
I'm sorry I let you down
Please forgive me

Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirt of love
It can heal all things
We won't hurt anymore
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

Chorus

Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family

Chorus (repeats to fade)


11.50 Candles

Written:Shawn/Tim Kelly/Bob Robinson

It's gettin' kinda dark already, should I light 'em?

Hey baby I'm ready, oh so ready
I wanna make love to you, hey
Take 'em off, throw 'em down
Come here and let me feel what's in front of me
The outside world is of no concern
Just let our bodies and the candles in the room burn
With feverish passion uncontained

Chorus:
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right

Give me your hand touch me right here
Oh so good want it more and more
Each moment your fingers linger all around
As I kiss you in the place where your composure comes undone
And your mind runs
We'll make love 'til the sun completely rises
Come play with me
Let me be the toy
That fufills your needs
'Cause I'm yours tonight and you're all mine, roll with me
Don't be afraid let the feeling take you away
To a world of ecstasy
Where all you go to do is be free and give your all and all

Chorus

Rap:
Come and get this, waited all my life for your touch and soft
kiss
And life will never be the same, while ya moan and groan
I hear your voice call my name
Holding your body like a plastic molding
Your soul I'll be controlling
As the candles burn, we toss and turn
From night to day, all our pleasures we learn
Come and play with me tonight's our night baby,
50 candles burn bright
Come and roll with me
Make love to me
Hold on tight
It's going to be a bumpy ride

Chorus


12.Water Runs Dry

Lyrics:Babyface
Music:Babyface

We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
'Cause saying how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change

Chorus:
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby

Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
'Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away

Chorus


13.Yesterday

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney

Yesterday...
All my troubles seem so far away
Now it seems as though there here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I use to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go, I don't know
She wouldn't say, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday...
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Oh I... had to go I don't know
She would not say
I said something wrong
How I long for yesterday
Yesterday...
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
I believe in yester...day

Was so far away
Oh yesterday was far away
And I know I can't turn back
'Cause yesterday is gone
