1.I Love You More

I love you i love you i love you
I love you i love you i love you
I love you i love you i love you
I love you i love you i love you

I love you more than there are ocean grains of sand
I love you more than there are voices in the wind
I love you so i can't let go
I love you so i want the whole wide world to know

It's not unusual to feel this way
Sometimes i feel a bit insane
I will confess i deserve nothing less than
What you've given me so far

I feel a high when i am by your side
My life's so bright like summer skies
I dreamed so long to have someone like you
And now you're here with me
And it feels so good

1 i love you more than there are ocean grains of sand
It must be love if i feel this way
I love you more than there are voices in the wind
Only love makes me do these things
I love you so i can't let go
Now that i have you
I love you so i want the whole wide world to know

I always thought you were my soulmate
And extension of my heart
The angels say it's a spiritual thing
We will never be apart

That's why i'm high when i am by your side
My life's so bright like summer skies
I dreamed so long to have someone like you babe
And now you're here with me
And it feels so good ooh

Repeat 1

I love you more than all the ocean grains of sand
I love you more than all the voices in the wind
I love you so yeah
Never let you go
I love you so i want the world to know

I love you more than all the ocean grains of sand
I love you more than all the voices in the wind
I love you so
Never let you go
I love you so i want the world to know

I love you more than all the ocean grains of sand
I love you more than all the voices i hear in the wind
I love you so
Never letting go
I love you so i want the world to know

Ooh boy i love you so
24/7 it won't get old
Ooh boy i love you so
24/7 it won't get old
Ooh boy i love you so
24/7 it won't get old
Ooh boy i love you so
24/7 it won't get old

3.No, No, No,(Can't Come Back)

Last night woke in bed
In a cold cold sweat so sweaty so funky
Dreamin' of bad things to be or not to be
Haunting things like homelessness all the lonely people
Without a job car or food to eat
Leaves you a little bit paranoid well well
Can you spare a dime
But it reminds me how easily
We let our fears affect who we are
No no no can't come back

No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

Had a friend in desperate need
Of a little attention compassion you see
Did i mention that friend was me nope
Who'd just broken up from a love affair well well well well
I must admit i was truly hurt
And i couldn't change the facts and that's a fact
He loves her more than he loves me
And it's truly just as simple as that
No no no can't come back

No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

Don't care what other people say
Don't listen to them anyway
Can't let the evil get it's way
Don't let bad feelings make you pay

Don't care what other people say
Don't listen to them anyway
Can't let the evil get it's way
Don't let bad feelings make you pay

No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back


4.Falling In Love

Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that i'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining it's wearing
I surrender completely

Ooh i wasn't ready for this
It's good it's bad
I'm happy and i'm sad
A mystery to behold
It speaks only to heart and soul
Like a melody deep inside of me
I saw that love keeps playing on and on
A symphony so glad i hear
Angels whispering

Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that i'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining it's wearing
I surrender completely

I never knew that life could be
So heavenly i'm feeling free
Oh how could something be so satisfying
And yet a feeling of fearfulness
Is lurking in the mist of the bliss
Inside my heart but i know that's all a part

Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that i'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining it's wearing
I surrender completely

I'm a business queen
In a courtroom kingdom
But when it comes to love
There's no software made for that
Love oh love you came
You turned my perfect world upside down
Like a work of art
Love has shaped my heart

Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that i'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining it's wearing
I surrender completely


5.Love You Crazy

I'm crazy, i got crazay love for you
It must be fate
I never would've met you if i wasn't late
Oh, my mistake for hitting your new car
Something 'bout you took me in, something 'bout that dark brown
skin
Something 'bout that sexy smile, something 'bout you drove me
wild
And now i'm crazy, they're gonna put me away
(chorus)
As i can't believe this world without the sun
I can't believe my heart without your love
Those who don't understand, i haven't had anyone to win my heart
Like you've done to me thus far
(chorus)
I'm in love with you
And the love is true
No one else will do
I got crazay love for you
(repeat)


6.Sad But True

It's a winter day five years too late
I'm feelin' cold inside
Holdin' on to what i don't know
No more reasons no more wise
Just my life and my love i worked so hard to keep

Oooh sad but true
Sad but true
It will be a very different world without him
So i just can't up and let him go
What would my children say

Mad just a little sad
Just a little had just a little
Had just a little time for me
Not good you see
I need just a little more
Just a little life just a little
Had just a little fun you see
There's more to me

When you're creepin' out at night
Always tried to cry myself to sleep
Sad but true it won't work no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say

So sad but true
So sad but oh so true

A world of make believe
It's a place i've lived
Joyous all the time
Never knew my world could cave in
Fall in right before my eyes i was blind
I would only see the signs i wanted to see

Ooh ooh ooh sad but true
Sad but true
And it will
You must take the time to deal with it
Before you fall too deep in it
Can't find your way back home ooh

Can't change his ways
Won't change my ways
If things stay the same
No one wins the game
I deserve better
He needs it better
I'm not so happy he can't be happy
Oh oh

And i feel it in my soul
Our love has come to an end
Sad but true it's not love no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say

So sad but true
So sad but oh so true


7.Love Won't Take Me Out

I had a love
And i had pain
Best believe
They come hand in hand
Cause i'm a soldier
For the love brigade
I'm prepared to do battle
With anything

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And i won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as i please
I take the blows and i do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And i won't let love take me out

I had to be
A fool indeed
To let someone
Break me down to my knees
I was wreckless
With my heart you see
There's no rule for that in my world
And yet that's plan

Say bye bye to the teary brown eyes
And the big sad face with an upside down smile
It's so beneath me it's so beneath
Say bye bye to the meaningless days
And the loneliest nights
Just wasting my mind
It's so beneath me it can't control me

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And i won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as i please
I take the blows and i do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And i won't let love take me out

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And i won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as i please
I take the blows and i do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And i won't let love take me out

Won't take me out won't take me out
Won't take me out won't take me out
Won't take me out won't take me out
Me out me out me out

Time to rise
Time to shine
Never again
Cause i decline
To be a victim
Of a broken heart
Cause i found the goddess in me
And now i leave my mark

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And i won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as i please
I take the blows and i do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And i won't let love take me out
Repeat x3

I have the power to do as i please
I won't let it take me out
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And i won't let love take me out


8.Whatever Will Be Will Be

Got a letter just the other day
So much was left unsaid
When you went away
How my heart grew so cold
From the misery of dreams ago

An open envelope
The last time that we spoke
You said that you would always be my man
And now this letter's here
What will you say my dear
To bring me to emotions once again
The truth of it you say
There's never been day
That you're not sorry you apologize
But life teaches new things
Beyond the pain it brings
You to a place where you are truly wise

Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant

I know we've made mistakes
Cause love is give and take
I mean to say it wasn't all your fault
I too had some regrets
Such pain i've felted yet
It's better to have love than not at all
The memories we had of all the good and bad
Has helped me be the woman that i am
So don't apologize
I've come to realize
Just what is meant by all in love is fair

Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant

Sometimes it's just not meant to be
But the love that we share goes on and on
Spiritually there'll be no more crying
No and there'll be no more lying no no no no no
And the truth that we gained will offset the pain
And now we finally see

Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
I'm happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant

Hmm hmm hey ooh yeah oh
Ooh


9.Beat Of Love

This is for the ones
That like to party till dawn
And the beat won't stop
Till the last one drops
And the people won't stay
If the dj don't play
This if for the ones
Who like to really have fun
And the bad girls do
What the bad boys want to
And the good girls don't
And the good guys really want to
But they're scared

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
Thumpin' bumpin'

This is for the old
And the new school too
From the beat box sands
To the hip hop waste land
From the house of blues
To the jazzy and the cool
This is for the world
Or wherever you are
On the sun or moon
Or in between those two
You are never too far
To connect with all of us
From which you stand

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
Thumpin' bumpin'

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
And it beats on time

This is for the year
And the years to come
So let's celebrate
And let us elevate our fellow mankind
It's purposive love through others
Human waste

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
Thumpin' bumpin'

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
And it beats on time

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
Thumpin' bumpin'

What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know but it's no place of mine
And that place i'll never be be
What's the world without a beat of love
I don't know cause my heart's beating fine
And it beats on time


10.Latin Soul

Me and my friends, we went out last night
To a small simple club on the nights
It didn't have much room, but hell they never do
Just chairs, a few tables, and some food
A small cramped band started playing, and all the room was
swaying
Soon i found myself dancing, with a tall dark man
I was in a trance, a sort of romance
Between the rhythm and my soul, ohh
(chorus)
Oooh, i wake up in the morning
And it's all me, i can hear the calling
And it's haunting each and everything
I didn't know my latin love was oh so strong
Even in the middle of romancing, really love the rhythm when i'm
dancing
Can't deny the spirit when you feel the latin soul
After that night, my life had changed
I had no control and now i would behave
Every chance i got, i was at the club
Wining and dining like there was no tomorrow
Ooooh, oooh, so free
Ooooh, oooh, so me, yea yea
Ooooh, oooh, so lifting
And i don't want it to stop, no
(chorus 2x)
If your life can't seem to get going, hopelessness is showing
To your soul, and to latin
Get into the sounds, of the rhythms beating out
Cuz when your dancing, your spirit will be free, yea
Ooooh, oooh, so free yea
Ooooh, oooh, so me, yea yea
Ooooh, oooh, so uplifting, yea
And i don't want it to stop, no
(chorus 3x)


11.Work It Out

You know i got a thing for you
I know you got a thing for me too
So tell me baby what's it gonna be ooh
Here we are alone again
Just like before we had a chance
For romance baby
And now it's slippin' out our hands baby
Oh well

Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this here's not enough
We need changed
Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin' old

The love is gone
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye
How do we choose
When we have so much to lose
Stop it stop pretending nothing is wrong
Just admit this is it so we can move on
Cause i can't go on living my life this way
Day after day just sitting here

Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this here's not enough
We need changed
Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin' old

We could be livin' like my dream fantasies
Where you hold me in your arms and kiss me so softly
My thoughts would be always of you
And the kind and gentle things you do yeah
But reality pulls me out of my mind
And instead of that i'm still sittin' here

Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this here's not enough
We need changed
Sittin' here ain't got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin' old


12.Those Dogs

I'm not much in to dogs and they're not in to me
That's my history, i can't change it now
Cuz those dogs are still on the prowl
(chorus)
Dogs are puppies, they grow up wild
And they don't do what you want them to
They treat you nice just to get a prize
And once they get it then they're through with you
Get your digits to call you back, you never hear form them again
that's wack!
He tells you, your the only one that's fact
Then hits your friend up behind your back
(chorus)
He asked you out, to see a show
And lost his wallet, how he doesn't know
He asked you if, you'd pay the bill
He'll pay you back, oh yea i bet he will
(i bet he will) i bet he won't
He'll probably use it for a pack of smoke
(a pack of smoke) you know the kind
It makes you tipsy like a bottle of wine
They like to bite, they like to fight
They like howl at every girl in site
They like to beg, they like to whine
They like to smell at every stray behind
A stray behind
(you know the kind, they're big and round and they're easy to
find)
Easy to find
(they are for dogs)
Cuz for a dogs life it's a world of fun
(chorus)


13.Number One Man

Number one man
Well, five long years and then there it go
He met his friends, and took that bonding road
Never knew where the road would end up, no, no
Sometimes it feels like hell to me, yea
I gotta keep it together cuz it's good for me
(chorus)
Sometimes you make me laugh
Sometimes you can make me cry
But i know that i love you
Your a very good friend of mine
Even though we may have fights
We know it's a part of life
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
Just trust in me, you'll always be
My number one man, yea
I have no questions, so there is no answers, uh-uh
What's to be, is meant to be, oh yes it is
But it feels like treason, every time i reason
Found me parting ways with you
So tell me, what's a girl to do
I guess i'm stuck with you, yea
(chorus)
The part of life remains the same
That you made me see, just what it means to me
To have someone that you can count on
When things are right, and sometimes wrong
What a small price to pay
I bless the day you came my way
(chorus)
My man
My number one man
I said you always gonna be my man, yeah
My number one man ohhh, yea
Said your gonna always always gonna be my number one man
