1.Desire
Oom baby, oom baby, oom baby, oom baby
Oom baby, oom baby, oom baby, oom baby
Hey you baby
A feeling i can't control
Is haunting me when you're not home
A feeling roams deep inside
There really is no place to hide
(desire)
Chorus
Everywhere i go i have thoughts of you
Little fantasies of being with you
Having no control when having desires
Like having no more water to put out the fire
Every little minute grows my addiction
Each and every hour i fight the power
On and on the feeling never gives in
Don't never try to fight it, you never win
Chorus
Desiiiiiire
Hey you baby
Desiiiiiire
Hey you baby
Oom baby, oom baby, oom baby, oom baby
Oom baby, oom baby, oom baby, oom baby
Hey you baby
Desiiiiiire
Hey you baby
(repeat until fade-out)
Chorus：
Desire, ooh like fire
Come on baby light my fire
Ooh oh desire
Desire, ooh like fire
Come on baby light my fire
Desire, ooh like fire
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

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.Hip Hop Lover
Hip hop, do it 'til you drop
Don't stop - don't you ever stop
This is it and you know
I'm comin' free style
To the club to see en vogue
I'll run a country mile
Dope hat combat boots i'm comin'
Cutie pies
Yo i know en vogue will love me
'cause i'm too fly
I'll do my jerkin' dance make 'em
Stare yo give a laugh
Ask to dance they look me over
And say oh no we'll pass
But that's ok i'll just dance
And do my own thang
But when the night is over
They'll remember wayne wayne
Chorus
Me and my girlfriends broke down to the club
The minute we stepped in
We were being asked to the dance floor
Before i got his name
He was hittin' on me strong
But i knew from the conversation
He was a little bit too young
Chorus
Brown leather combat sales tag on his hat
He wore his clothes inside-out (yo mental tip - oh)
He had a funky step and i thought he was so cute
But as far as hooking up with him
He had to come harder than that, yeah
Chorus
When the set was over
We headed out to the car
He politely asked to walk me out
He's playng good so far
The minute i blinked my eyes
He snuck in a little kiss
So i swung out quick to smack him one
But i'm glad i missed
Chorus
The beat may drop but not like all the others
Chorus
Chorus：
Hip hop do it 'til you drop
Don't stop don't you ever stop
(do it to me baby)
Hip hop do it 'til you drop
Don't stop don't you ever stop
6.Hooked On Your Love
7.It Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings
(chorus)
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
Here's a flow
An en vogue hip-hop intro
Time to rap talk about the info
Pertaining to the four
Who re-opened the harmony door
(and let the vocals soar)
(shoo wop shoo wop)
All of the gossipin' it put us in a recite mode
Unloadin' while the grooves explodin'
Just steppin' and keepin' pepin'
A vocal lethal-weapon
In this song will be givin' ev-ology lessons
About our history and our passin'
How long (steady, strong)
Will the en vogue be lastin'？
Askin' or predictin'
The quad squad will roll
(and continue to kick it wicked)
Wicked doubts about the en-v
It's envy if you ask me
Trying to down dawn, maxine, terry or cindy
Black, beautiful, intelligent
Well structured and strong
It's gonna be along for ever hold on
Repeat chorus
(it ain't over)
So, continuing my flow
Goin' back about two years ago
Lip-synching was the way to go, though
A face to a voice, a voice to a face
All the real talent was just going to waste
The word was out
A talent-search was on
Auditioned with ambition
A vision
En vogue was born
To sing, the essential ingredients mended
Four individuals perfectly blended
Strong mind, positive, attitude is a must
Group trust
Eliminated the outside rush
Using lies as alibis to get to us it's strange
Negative attenion you gain in the world while you entertain
Stuck up - of course not
Just the knives in our back
Those coming from behind on a publicity attack
Not easy duplicating the four
There's a lot more in store
Until the fat lady roars
Repeat chorus
People wonder if we're rich
I'll tell you this
More money now than before the music hit
And our hair, of course it's real
We just jazz it up a bit for the sex appeal
And no we don't lip-synch
It's all from the heart
2 tuff-enuff productions put us on the charts
A few answers i thought i should give
For the minds who enquire how the en vogue lives
Born to sing, and we proved it
A gift from the man above
Peace to our fans, and to competitors
One love
Sorry, not in it for the competition status-quo
Our only perspective is to grow
And to blow, ya know
In house, in reggae, in rock, en vogue
Stylin' profilin' sippin' coke with a smile
2 tuff funk it, pump it, hip-hop jump it
Now en vogue's comin' versatile
(shoo wop shoo wop)
Repeat chorus
(it ain't over)
(got a long way to go)
Repeat chorus until fade-out
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
10.Thanks／prayer
11.This Is Your Life
I lived part of my life
Being scared of my dreams
Everytime someone asks
What i'm shooting for in life
I would hide my true feelings
And when i spoke up to my friends
They made fun of my dreams
So when times got too rough
I would think back on one thing
My mama would say to me
Chorus：this is your life, live it your own way
Forces of evil struck back and forth
Throughout my younger days,
Because i would listen
And care what other people would say
Like a four letter word
I ignored the whole world
And built my own tiny world with respect
But it took time to relate
What my momma would say time after time again, she said：
Chorus
Chorus
