Love & Life

Eric Benet Love & Life Lyrics
1.Love Patience & Time

I believe in the power inside of my heart
God is the source from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great and no cause too small
This infinite love is inside of us all

My buddy, Greg lost his leg serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking, thinking of things he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile, but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon, second year in a row

Oh, there's a storm that you're gone have to ride in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves when you're lost in your life
Just hold on and you'll go with the tide

Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na

I knew a girl, a pretty girl, but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive, before her heart grows colder
And all the love she's dreaming of, maybe then she will know

Yeah, we've got stories and people to blame for our lives
No, don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie, the only way is to leave the past
behind

Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

There's so much more inside you and me
That the world needs to still believe
Nothing's too great for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright

Grab a gun, everyone, said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change the will of the other side
Some people swear that blood and fear will bring the world
together
I believe that all we need love, patience, and time.

Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine

Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine


2.The Hunger

Still wanting me... still hungry

Now the first kiss was the one that left me seeing
just how deep your into me.
Surprised by your intensity, I couldn't believe.

Now the next kiss happened 7 days ago
that's when I started letting go
dropped my guard and let you know
i was ready for more.

Oh, thats when I took you home
and i wasn't quite ready for how you came
words can't explain
the pleasures we've explored.

oh, we've been making love 6 nights strong
and i can't believe just how long you can go
i'm ready for more of the hunger in your soul

Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry

You keep rising like you're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trynna make you stop
because you're still wanting me... still hungry

Now the first time was amazing like I said.
Like nothing I've seen, done or read
Colors and music played in my head
I wasn't prepared

Now the next time happen when i finally caught my breath
I saw the sweat drip off your chest.
Girl you inspire my very best
and I gave nothing less

and it seems
with every conversation in between
i get a little more attracted
when you open up your mind girl I find
your perception of the world coincides with mine.

and I tried to let the fever in me subside
but every time i see that little look in your eye
i come back to life
and I rise, I rise, I rise, ohhhh

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body call because
you're still wanting me, and you're still hungry

From 100 miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves up on your ocean
cause your still wanting me, and you're still hungry

Did you know that you smile when you're asleep?
is it there all the time...
or only when you're with me?
When the morning sun shines on your face
Let me be the first breath you take.

Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry

Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body call because
you're still wanting me, and you're still hungry

From 100 miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves up on your ocean
cause your still wanting me, and you're still hungry

Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry

You keep rising like you're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trynna make you stop
because you're still wanting me... still hungry

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body call because
you're still wanting me, and you're still hungry


3.You're the Only One

I'm going back to the day we parted
And all the ways you were broken hearted
Take a trip everyday in my mind

I see your face I recall it few word
Its playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye

(if I do what I know)
I'd walk back in time
(I will write every wrong)
Oohh.. I would change every line
(and you'll be here right now)
Just like yesterday
(But you'd feel no more doubts)
When you hear me say

You're the only one I want (you're the only one ..yeah)
You're the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You're the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You're the only one I need in my life

I see the world through a haze of mem'ries
And then the girls don't mean a damn thing to me
It's kinda sad how they just don't compare
(Time will tell, let's wait and see)
(if our love we had was meant to be)
Coz I know we got a future out there

(coz you're still my girl)
I don't care what they say
(let's go back to our world)
Baby don't you throw this love away
(coz I still believe)
In the magic of us
(this is the matter of time)
And it's a matter of trial

You're the only one I want
You're the only one I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one I need in my life

Now girl it took sometime to get real with myself
Now love ain't easy sometimes
But when you find it we'll stay together

You're the only one I want (you're the only one ..yeah)
You're the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You're the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You're the only one I need in my life

You're the only one I want (you're the only one ..yeah)
You're the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You're the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You're the only one I need in my life

You're the only one I want (you're the only one ..yeah)
You're the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You're the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You're the only one I need in my life


4.Don't Let Go

Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool,
I hear the bells but they don't right the way they used to
It looks like breakin' up is our next obvious move,
but let's not move too soon

You see the problem goin' round too often these days
People throwin' in the towel once they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain
Or else we've lived these years cried these tears in vain
I'm sayin'

Don't let go (that's all I'm sayin')
Don't let go (oo girl let's stop playin)
No, don't let go (think of all the love we've been makin')
Don't let go (don't let it go)

I've worked your patience girl and you workin' my nerves
We scream at each other but we're not hearing one word
We made mistakes that neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired when love's concerned

I saw an old man and his wife early today
They were holding hands his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways
In my mind I could him say . . . stay babe

Don't let go (I could hear him say)
Don't let go (don't throw the love away)
No, don't let go (you know we're worth it baby)
Don't let go (don't let it go)

Don't let go (that's all I'm sayin')
Don't let go (oo girl let's stop playin)
No, don't let go (think of all the love we've been makin')
Don't let go (don't let it go)

With some other girl I could move on
trading old problems just for new
To some other guy you could belong
goin' thru changes we've been thru

When another brotha is tryin' to make a play
(Oh no don't you let go)
When another woman is up in my face
(Oh I better not let go)
When the honemoon starts to fade away
(Oh no I won't let go)
If we're gonna make it, I wanna hear you say
(Oh no, I swear I won't let go)

Don't let go (that's all I'm sayin')
Don't let go (oo girl let's stop playin)
No, don't let go (think of all the love we've been makin')
Don't let go (don't let it go)

Don't let go (I could hear him say)
Don't let go (don't throw this love away)
No, don't let go (you know we're worth it baby)
Don't let go (don't let it go)


5.Everlove (Duet With Terry Dexter)

I never thought it was possible
in my reality
I thought my chances for love were gone
that time ran out for me

my heart has been through some changes
and heaven knows
what I thought was my everlove
was so conditional

but my love everyday with you I'm so surprised
morning comes I fall in love again
each night I'm thanking GOD you're in my life
I don't know how I know but this feeling
won't be ending

everlove oh my everlove
ever lasting through all changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove

I'll never ask for perfection
that's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth in your heart
the rest we'll work out day by day

you've seen the best and worst of me
and you're still standing here
oh, there is nothing that can stop us now
cause' we've got nothing left to fear
the future will show

the power in a moment just like this
whatever love can dream we both
will know
whatever we imagine will exist
with every kiss I swear my life will be
deserving of you

everlove, oh my everlove
everlasting through all changes in our lives
everlove, you're my everlove
ever giving, ever learning with every cry
I found, my ever love

the winds of changes will blow
(come what may)
your friends may come may go
(I'll never go away)
these struggles of life they my put us
through the fire
but as long as I'm alive I'll be right there
by your side

everlove oh my everlove
ever lasting through all changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday and every night

I never know that love could feel this way
let's share a life of love together baby
everlasting through all changes in our lives
come what may I'm gonna be here
with you
love you forever till my life is through
ever giving ever learning with every cry

I found my everlove


6.Chocolate Legs

This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me
I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal

I need you to wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you wrap them chocolate legs around me
The memory of my day will quickly just fade away
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Please, baby, wrap them chocolate legs 'round me

Your cocoa skin against mine, babe
Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love
You're the only thing I'm ever sure of(your love I'm sure of)
I need some reminding
That God is still, He's still behind me
Baby, come take my soul and set me free

When you come wrap your chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs around me
I need you to understand, and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you that's where I need to be
Oh, baby, wrap them chocolate legs around me

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I need some reminding
That God is still, He's still behind me
So, baby, take my soul and set me free
I want you to know how much you mean to me
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs around me

9.Spanish Fly

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

He let your love go.
You're a victim of a crime.
You're heart broken treacherously.
Your river just froze.
And now this happens every time you're faced with intimacy.
No one's been able to stable this painful phase.
It's like you just can't reach that high.
Would you mind it if I try?
Just lay back and close your eyes.
Guaranteed you'll feel the fire again.

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

Don't be afraid, oh I promise you if you let it flow
Your face will be stuck with a smile
Let's take off our clothes then let's take it nice and slow.
Let's stare at each other for a while.
No one can figure your trigger that's what you say.
How about you give me give it a try?
Like an aphrodisiac, I can bring the fire back.
'Cause I know exactly what to prescribe.

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

It's been so long there a fire trapped inside you.
All I want is to be there when it burns you.
Baby, let me squeeze you, wanna hold you, wanna please you
Let me feel you, 'cause I need to

Lay you on the table, let me lick from your navel to your
flowers, for hours
Baby, don't you see that there's nothing wrong with getting
freaky,
When you need to, to release you

Baby, I'm on fire, we gonna take it a little higher
Till it's time to come inside you

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.

I know just what you need.
I feel what you're going through.
I've got the remedy.
Use me like Spanish Fly.


10.Still I Believe

I once believed that the face of love
would be so clear to see
one kiss conceives giving birth to
endless joy
that's what i believed

but i've been slapped out my trance
from this bliss of ignorance
while the stench of disappointment i
would breathe
i've played the roles brilliantly
the villain, the victim, and in between
pushed the limits of my strength and
sanity

still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love

your eyes your eyes if given half a chance
could slice my heart in two
i've tried at least a half a dozen times
probably the same for you
i've been the angel, been the beast
i've been confused and had clarity
i went the distance only to find there was
nothing there
take your hearts place your bets
on this game of russian roulette
if you loose they won't remember or even care

still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love

though i walk thru the valley i don't fear you
i'll never stop believing though i hear you
though i walk thru the valley i don't fear you
i'll never stop believing though i hear you
though i walk thru the valley i don't fear you
i'll never stop believing though i hear you

still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe in love
still i believe
still i believe
still i believe in love
still i believe in love


11.Sing to Me

Can I tell u shall I count the way
Can I find the words that could explain
I have my heart of my life soul u changed forever

When im with u im a better man
And I never ever understand the way

That u sing to me without musical words
The Sweetest melody that I've ever heard
When I look in to ur eyes

Cause u sing to me

There so much evil in the world today
Everybody tried to made a way
Looking for a peace love to make Get better
But we can make it through and rise above
With ur letter says I made of love
And I know that will be strong enough to
Go on and go on and go on

Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard
Sweet enough to make me cry
Cause it keeps a lover lie
Sing to me sing baby

Cause When I look in to ur eyes
I hear the song that never dies
Cause u sing to me
(everytime I look in to ur eyes its like I can hear)
u sing to me
Sing to me ( I love u so much babe)


12.One More Tomorrow

Last night I dreamed my life was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven, but I know it was a lie
For when I looked, you weren't inside

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no more pain or sorrow there with you

Last night my dream revealed the day could soon come
Without your kiss, your touch, your love
The first tears of Heaven cried would be mine
Till you were there right by my side

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no more pain or sorrow there with you

If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would

Sometimes life makes us feel so secure
Like our days will last forever
Time will come when I'll be no more
Just think of me and remember

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no more pain or sorrow there with you

If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would
