En Vogue Best Of En Vogue Lyrics
1.Don't Let Go (love) Chorus(Love)

What's it gonna be
Cuz i can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
Verse 1:
I often tell myself
That we could be more than just friends
I know you think that if we move to soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And i won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows

There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
(chorus)

Verse 2:
I often fantasize
The stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours
Like only lovers do
If i could wear your clothes
I'd pretend i was you and lose control

There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah

(chorus)

Bridge:
Running in and out my life has got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice
Somebody's got to choose
We can make it if we try for the sake of you and i
Together we can make it right

(chorus until fade)


2.Free Your Mind

I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes it doesn't make me a
prostitute
I like rap music wear hip-hop clothes
That doesn't mean that i'm sellin dope
Oh my please forgive me for having
Straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in
My heirs
I might date another race or color
Doesn't mean i don't like my strong
Black brothers

Chorus:free your mind and the rest will follow, be colorblind,
don't be so shallow(before you read me you gotta learn how to
see me)

So i'm a sista
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my
Credit is bad,
So why dispute me and waste my time,
Because you think that the price is too
High for me
I can't look without being watched
You rang my buy before i made up my,
Mind
Oh now attitude why even bother
I can't change your mind you can't
Change my color

Repeat chorus two times


3.Give It Up, Turn It Loose

I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday


What's the problem?
You keep comin' in and keep comin' out and singin flat
I'm sorry, i'm sorry
What's wrong? what's wrong?
You're not concentrating
Yes, i am concentrating
No, you're not
I'm sorry, let's just do it again
Nonono, uh uh. what's the problem
There's no problem.
Dawn, what's wrong?
There's nothing wrong, terry.
Kevin.
Mmhm
Please don't tell me it's kevin.
Mmhm
Ew, kevin swahili, i knew it! he's got cooties.
And he's seeing tamika right now
And everybody else
He is not seeing raneka
He is.
How you know?
Wait a minute guys.
Wait wait wait. you guys, we should not attack her, it sounds
like it's
Serious because we can't concentrate and get this right. so,
let's deal with
The problem.
You see, i've been through this myself, and, let's talk.
And it goes a little something like this - hit it.
Mmm.....

Verse 1:
Baby girl (unfair but true)
Can love him once but not twice
Who plays games with no rules (a fool)
Tears for fears (are no surprise)
Happens almost every time
Love knocks you on your behind
(loved you hard, loved you long, now his love is gone)
Love 'em and leave 'em (is the rule of most dogs)
You must be strong
Stand up on your own
Take control of your life
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around

Chorus:
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, you got to have

Verse 2:
Fact of life (so sad but true)
Love can often hurt you
Leaving scars most of your life (nightmares can haunt you)
But fairytales of love, can come true
Both play tricks on your mind
(you'll be fine, take this time, to find piece of mind)
Sooner or later (bad feelings will die)
You must be strong
Don't blame it all on love
In time good things will come
I've seen time and time again
It's not worth it, no no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around

Chorus:
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl... yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, you got to have
(give it up)
Give it up
(give up)
Give it up
(give up)
Give it up
Give it up turn it loose
Turnin' it loose, baby
(repeat till fade)


4.Giving Him Something He Can Feel

(shoo)
Verse 1
Many say
That i'm too young
To let you know just where i'm coming from.
But you will see
It's just a matter of time
My love surely make you mine

(1)
Well, i'm
Livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
With my man
People out there can understand

(2)
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real

Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why i'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.

Repeat (1)

Repeat (2) to a fade


5.Hold On

Intro
When i had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know i sit around
With my head hanging down
And i wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If i would of known then
The things that i know now
I might not have lost the time i complain about

Chorus
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love evryday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Chorus

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Chorus

Ad lib:
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

6.Let It Flow

Another wave has arrived
Being funk is so surprise
Welcome the world of xtc
When the funk takes over me
No need to try to run away
The funk will find you the mail today
It's best if you relax your soul
Grab someone, take the floor, let it go
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(what'd you say)
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(in your heart and in your
vein)
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(free your mind)
Did you ever make it stop?

Feel it groovin' hard within
Body is shakin' and head's in sea
Why would anyone dare to deny it
Funk is fine, don't try to fight it
The funk is the epitome

Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(what'd you say)
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(in your heart and in your
vein)
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow(free your mind)
Did you ever make it stop?

Don't you part with it
I devoured it
You can work with it
You can part with it
Satisfaction guaranteed
Give'em folks what they need
What you need is indeed
A little funk from ev
Now hit me
Sounds so funky, you'd agree
Funky divas in 3-d
Let if flow
Did you ever make it stop?


7.Lies

Chorus
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in
disguise

Chorus

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo i can't stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what debbie t. is really trying to say
When you break it all down we're all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies


8.Love Don't Love You

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care
Love don't love you, love don't care

Verse 1:
You said you'd always be there
You said you'd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I can't control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that something's wrong, yeah
The more that i fight with you
The more i realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care (it's got to be you, baby)
Love don't love you, love don't care (not love, baby)

Verse 2:
I thought i never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead i was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will i ever learn
Can't blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care (love don't love you)
Love don't love you, love don't care (got to be you)
Love don't love you (love don't care about you, no way, no way,
no way)
Love don't care no way

Bridge:

You see it takes a fool to learn
That love don't love nobody (got to be you)
But i've learned
That love don't love me
And it sure can't love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Don't just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me

You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
I'm gonna be there for you
Love don't love no one
And it sure don't care
Love don't love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care
Love don't love you, love don't care
(repeat chorus)


9.My Lovin'(You're Never Gonna Get It)

I remember how it used to be you never were this nice
You can't fool me
Now you talkin'
Like you made a change
The more you talk
The more things sound the same

What makes you think
You can just walk back
Into her life
Without a good fight

I just sit back
And watch you make a fool of yourself
You're just wasting your time

Repeat chorus eight times:no, you're never gonna get it, never
ever gonna get it, my lovin'

Now you promise me
The moon and the stars
Save your breath
You won't get very far

Gave you many chances
To make changes
The only thing you changed
Was love to hate

It doesn't matter what you do
Or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way

Maybe next time
You'll give your woman a little respect
Then you won't be hearing her say that-

Repeat chorus two times

Doesn't matter what you do
Or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way

Maybe next time
You'll give your woman a little respect
Then you won't be hearing her say that-
Chorus

11.Too Gone Too Long

Did i hear you say that
You want another chance
You need another try
You're ready to reclaim your prize
So you want my love back
Why'd you let it slip away
Why'd you ever let me go
Your change of heart has come too late
Well the door is locked you can't get in
The game has changed you've been
Chorus:
Too gone, too long baby
To ever get back again
In my heart
Too gone, too long baby
You're too many tears too late
To ever get back to get back
In my arms
Been gone too gone too long

Verse 2:
Didn't you hear me say that
You'd be a fool to leave
You'd regret the road you chose
You'd come running right back to me
You had such a good love sugar
You never found in no one else
But what i knew all the time
You had to find out for yourself
But now you'll never know
That love again
You're on your own

(chorus) bridge:
Did you really think i'd take you back
Let you back in my life
Oh baby just like that
Someone new is loving me
Loving you is what used to be
Baby you're too late to win my heart again
