1.On Bended Knee(Human Rhythm Mix)

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 that I don't need to be alone
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


2.Doin' just fine

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've 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 me 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 a 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


3.Please don't go

Hey baby I'm sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Please don't go

Slowly my eyes began to see
That I need you near right with me at all times, yeah
My feelings are so deep for you
That I won't let go, oooh no, of you

BRIDGE:
I can't let this love (Slip away)
And I can't turn it around (you will see)
And only then.....

CHORUS:
Please don't go away from me
(I'll be there for you)
When you call my name (call my name)
I'll reach out my hand to you
(And I'll welcome you)
To my heart (my future my heart)
Please don't go away from me
We can work it out
Whatever it may be girl
Please don't go(no,no,no,no,no,please don't go)

You know, It's not often that we see each other,
That's why I cherish every moment that we spent with
each other

When you're away, Temptation may come
Above of when I get caught up (by you), I let go
Thinking about you each day
I feel (I love you and I'll never let go) Your love
makes my head spin
round and round in a daze, yeah oh baby

REPEAT BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS

Please don't go away
I'll be there, I'll be right there


4.End of the road

(spoken)
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing
With my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby, you just see

(verse)
We belong together
And you that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart,
hy do you play with my mind?

Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say good-bye?

When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around

Chorus:
Although we've come to the End Of The Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the End of the Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Girl, I know you really love me,
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time

Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together
Forever, you and I

Can you love me again like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me, don't let me down

Chorus

(spoken)
Girl I'm here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just run out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you do you?
I'm here for you

I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby but that's all right
Hey, I love you anyway
And I'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain baby
Coz you just won't come back to me
Will you? Just come back to me

(Lonely)
Yes baby my heart is lonely
(Lonely)
My heart hurts baby
(Lonely)
Yes I feel pain too
Baby please

This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go

Chorus

Chorus (a cappella)


5.It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.


6.Can you stand the rain?

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 (4 times)
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 (6 times)


7.Lonely heart

I never thought that it could be, you would turn and do this to
me
How can the love we had here between us merely fade away?
You told me you'd never go away, and for me you'd always be here
Now you tell me that something's wrong and you must move on

Chorus
A lonely heart is what I'll be
If no-one cares for me
Let me show you now the way that it would be
If you were with me now
I can feel the love we share
When you say it's not there
Deep inside I know that you still care
But I need you to show me now

I'm looking for a quiet place where love is free
And the dreams we share last eternally
I feel now that it's the time so won't you please come over here
The closer and the closer I get to you
Keeps me warm to know that you'll stay around
So please keep your promise to me and don't go

Chorus x3


8.One Sweet Day

Lyrics:Mariah Carey/Michael Mccray/Nathan Morris
Music:Mariah Carey/Walter Afanasieff

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

Chorus:
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Eventually we'll sing in heaven

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
And I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

Chorus

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

Chorus

Chorus

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say


9.4 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


10.Water runs dry

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 sayin' 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


11.A song for mama

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone 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 always will 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 soul

You're always down 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


12.I'll make love to you

Lyrics:Babyface
Music:Babyface

Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru 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 gonna 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


13.Your home is in my heart

SPOKEN:
Don't be afraid. Love has no age.

CHORUS:
Even from away across the sea
(So far across the sea)
I can hear you callin' me
(Baby, come to me)
Destiny controls it all
(No matter where you are)
Dream and dare to love again
(Your home is in my heart)

I know the way I feel about you won't pass
Oh yes it's gonna last and stand the test of time
So your search for love is about to end
Your future holds a place where true love begins

I'll be right there

REPEAT CHORUS

Take alone a journey
Just start at the beginning
You won't know where you're goin'
Till you're there

Is it just physical or is it lasting love?
Please don't give up
We won't know unless we try

REPEAT CHORUS


14.I will get there

I've been wonderin' 'round in the dark
Been lost somewhere
Where no light could shine on my heart
I have known a pain so deep
But I know my faith will free me
(Get there)
I'll get through this
(Get there)

CHORUS:
I will get there
(I will get there)
I will get there somehow
Cross that river
(Cross that river)
Nothing's stopping me now
I will get through the night
And make it through to the other side
Get there, get there

I've been in these chains for so long
But I'll break free
And I'll be there where i belong
I'll hold my head up high
I'll stand tall
And I swear this time I won't fall
(Get there)
I will do this
(Get there)
No matter what it takes
'Cause I know no limitations
And I'll reach my destination
I will get there

REPEAT CHORUS

Well the night is cold and dark
But somewhere the sun is shining
And I'll feel it shine on me
I'll keep on trying
I'll keep on trying

REPEAT CHORUS


15.Yesterday(Spanish Version)

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney

Yesterday
Hoy me siento lejos del ayer
Tantas cosas han cambiado que
Quisiera estar en el ayer

Yo perdi la mitad de todo lo que fui
La memoria vuela sobre mi
Y en ayer quiero vivir
Ella se marcho
Yo ne se muy bien por que
Fue alguin desliz que acabo con el ayer

Yesterday
Al amor jugamos sin perder
Hoy yo busco desaparecer
Quisiera estar en el ayer

Ella se marcho
Yo ne se muy bien por que
Fue alguin desliz que acabo con el ayer

Yesterday
Al amor jugamos sin perder
Hoy yo busco desaparecer
Quisiera estar en el ayer


16.End Of The Road

(Insturmental)
.


17.So amazing

When your life is a wall
Can see the light of day
And your hope is gone
When you second-guess your faith
When you turn around
And realize no one else
Will be leaving you only yourself

When you are holding on
Can find the will to breathe
Can you right the wrong
That has brought you to your knees
Though you barely lived your life
You keep on believing you will survive
And know all that left is whats inside

CHORUS:
Oh, so amazing
I have learned my inner voice
And finally can rejoice
I was lost, so lost way down
Never thought that I would be
So amazing that now I'm free

So let it go
Your love is holding on
And you close your eyes
Never thought of being alone
You surrendered half of your life
To the world of pain and sacrifices
Soon you will know that you make things right

REPEAT CHORUS

Desperate, oh so desperate
So confused, so confused
Everyday losing touch
Oh, I'm losing touch of my mind, my mind
And I gave my pride
Isn't it carzy
So amazing
I'm alive

REPEAT CHORUS

So amazing that
Now I'm free
