Lenny Kravitz Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.All My Life

Is it the way that you feel when i'm kissing on you
Or is it the soul i can see in your eyes
The clothes that you wear or the smell of your hair
Or is it the way i can't sleep when you're not there
All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, i've been waiting for you

Is it the way that you feel deep inside
Or is it the way that i feel so alive
Your star and your flair are beyond compare
Or is it the way that we feel when we're on fire
All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, oh i, i've been waiting for you
Every night, oh i've been waiting for you

All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, i've been waiting for you
All my life, oh i, i've been waiting for you
All my life, i've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you


2.Another Life

Haven't you heard it could be coming tonight
Just leave all your things and come and celebrate life
This time is for love, not for heartache and strife
There's no time for games and there's no time to fight
Just feel all the love that is in the air,
The feeling so good and it's everywhere,
So come on along if you heart's feeling right,
Just open your wings it's a natural flight
You can do what you want, you can say i'm a fool,
And i'll see you in another life
See you in another life

He walked on this earth so we can party tonight,
He taught us of faith 'cause it's not about sight
He taught us of peace and unconditional love
He led us from wrong and forave us there of
He did all the things 'cause he wanted you
He died on that cross so you wouldn't have to,
And now all the worlds such a beautiful light,
Just open your eyes it's a beautiful sight
You can do what you want, you can say i'm a fool,
And i'll see you in another life
Another life, come on !

You can do what you want, you can say i'm a fool,
And i'll see you in another life
See you in another life, oh yeah
Another life
See you in another life, another life
See you in another life, oh yeah,
Another life, see you in another life
Take me higher higher, oh yeah yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !
Higher higher, come on -(living? you sinners?) yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


3.Anti Love Song(Sung With Skin)

(skin)
No i don't want love you,
'cos i know who you are,
That's why i've been staying away from you,
That is why i ever call,
Huummm, i know that you could possess my body,
And i know you could make me scrawl
I know you'd have me shaken,
Have me climbing the wall
That's why i don't wanna' love you

(lenny kravitz)
'cos i know how you are
Sure you say you're right on and your righteous, girl
Come with me, i know you'd be right off
'cos i know you could possess my body,
I know you could make me crawl,
And just as hard as i fall for you girl,
Well you know you would fall for me harder
That's why i don't want to love you

(skin)
'cos i know what you would do to my heart
You scourge me like a hot iron,
Leave me whining all alone in the dark,
'cos i know that you would make me suffer
I know that you would drive me wild (that's right) wild
You would take me in a circle
And when it gather you, i know you'd disappear
That's why i don't wanna' love you

(lenny kravitz)
'cos i know you like to be in charge,
And with me you know you can't control me, baby,
'cos you know you drive your car
I have you eating your ego (i don't think so !!)
I'd make it pocket your pride, oh no
And just as hard as i've been loving you, oh girl,
Well you know you'd be loving me harder

(lenny kravitz & skin)
That's why i ain't gonna' love you

(lenny kravitz)
Harold, come on

(lenny kravitz & skin)
That's why i don't wanna love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you
No i don't want to love you


4.Ascension

Brothers and sisters,
Everythings gonna be alright
We gonna be together in the moonlight
No more pain or strife or sorrow
It's a brand new day
You don't need no money
'cause everything's free

Come with me baby,
'cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild

Hey look at that smile
On that pretty girl's face
She got no positions,
But she's poised and has grace
It's an inner beauty thing baby,
That shines and shines
It ain't about your appearance
But the soul, look inside

So come with me baby,
'cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild

Rise up, rise up
Get up, get up
Come on, come on

It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild
Come with me baby,

To be wild, to be wild,
To be free to be wide

6.Be My Baby

Written:lenny kravitz/gerry deveaux

I saw you walk down the street
With some other girl
Always thought that i was the only one in your world
Baby can you tell me so
Out of sight of of mind ain't what love ought to be
And i hoped all the time that you'd be faithful to me
Faithful to me

All i'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby

Love is just like a flower baby it has to grow
And when you are away i'm even loving you more
I just have to let you know
One on one is the way and that's the way it should be
So if you're not gonna stay
Then don't be playing with me
You can set me free

All i'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'cause all this lovev is for you
And you know that i'm true
And i'll be your baby

All i'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'cause i knew from the start
That you were working my heart
Won't you be my baby

I remember our walk other saturday night
Sweet harmonies filled and floated through our minds
Never felt this way before
We were riding so high on love and understanding
So why go wasting your time when you have got such a find
That is everlasting

All i'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby

All i'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'cause all this lovev is for you
And you know that i'm true
And i'll be your baby
And i want you to love me baby.


7.Billy Jack(Custis Mayfield Cover)

Written:curtis mayfield

Just out of monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where i live

Ah! ah! sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message, from the message
He had to give

'bout a buddy of mine
Running out of time
Somebody past noon, shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives

Too bad about him
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder he lived this long

Up in the city they called him boss jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! didn't care nothing about being black
Oh! billy jack

Can't be no fun (can't be no fun)
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Body sprawled out, you without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh

Ah! ah! bad bloody bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest
One sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go

Up in the city they called him boss jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! didn't care nothin' 'bout being black
Ah, oh, billy jack
Ah! ah! ah! ah!


8.Buddha Of Suburbia

Written:david bowie

Living in lies by the railway line
Pushing the hair from my eyes
Elvis is english and climbs the hills
Can't tell the bullshit from the lies
Screaming along in south london
Vicious but ready to learn
Sometimes i fear that the whole world is queer
Sometimes but always in vain

So i'll wait until we're sane
Wait until we're blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it's got to give
Englishman going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way

With great expectations i change all my clothes
Mustn't grumble at silver and gold
Screaming above central london
Never bored, so i'll never get old

So i'll wait until we're sane
Wait until we're blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it's got to give
Englishman going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way

Day after
Day after
Day
Day after
Zane, zane, zane
Ouvre le chien
Day after
Day
Day after
Zane, zane, zane
Ouvre le chien
Day after


9.Buddy X

Written:neneh cherry, c. mcvey, k. barnes and j. barnes

Call yourself a family man
Talking 'bout the families plan
To bring the sweet talk deep and down
Works better than an average pick up line
You put your woman out to pasture
On the promises you gave her last year
Peace and love is on your head
And the grass is greener playing 'round
Your family seed is what you spread
Chorus:
Buddy my friend
Who you think you fooling
Buddy my friend
And what about your woman
Buddy my friend
Who you think you fooling
Buddy my friend

I don't care what you do
But there's a hypocrite that lives in you
Cause if your woman gave her love
In the same way that you do
You'd feel a-way
You know you would

Chorus

Buddy my friend
Treat her that way
And you'll be x-d soon
Buddy x-d soon


10.Cold Turkey(John Lennon Cover)

Written:john lennon

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish i was a baby
I wish i was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
I can't get to sleep
One thing i'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Come on,
Cold turkey has got me on the fucking run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh i'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey, cold turkey,
Cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey,
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oooh
Cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey
Yeahhhh


11.Confused

Written:lenny kravitz

Talking 'bout a woman
Talking 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Joining hands in hands
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks
I'm confused, so confused
And i got to tell you something's wrong with the news
Yeah
I'm confused, so confused
And i got to tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose

Baby baby baby baby baby
Let me feel you no good inside
All i wanna do is love you, love you, love you
Instead of making you cry
But when i come about
I just met another woman the other side of town

I'm confused, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose
I'm confused, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose

You ask me if i love you baby
And i tell you that i do
But don't you ask me if you're the only woman
'cause i can't say that it's thru

Talking 'bout a woman
Talking 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Joining with a man, hand in hand
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks

I'm confused, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose
I'm confused, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose
I'm confused
Yes i am darling, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I can't choose
I'm confused, have mercey, so confused
And i gotta tell you something's wrong with the news
I just can't, i just can't choose
Oh yeah baby


12.Deuce(Kiss Cover)

Get up
And get your grandma out of here
And pick up
Old jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do

Chorus:
'cause baby, if you're feelin' good
And baby, if you're feelin' nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce!

Honey
Don't push your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
And baby
Do the things he says to do

Chorus


13.For The First Time

Written:lenny kravitz

I want to fall in love again
For the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
I want to press your lips on mine
For the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
Love is something
You can't get in a five and dime
And love is the question of more time
And love is something
That's really hard to find
Love makes a strong man
Get down on his knees in the crowd
Just lay your hand
On mine
Yeah, for the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
And i wonder if you'll ever really be mine

15.Gotta Have It

Written:henry hirsch/craig ross/lenny kravitz

I know where i shouldn't be
You take my heart and drink it for tea
You mix me up and walk out the door
You take my love and hutr me for more

But i gotta have it
Watch out for the damage
From new york straight to paris
I'm talking lenny kravitz

Whenever he is around
He puts me six feet under the ground
And when you call he can never be found
'cause he is always out on the town

But i gotta have it
Watch out for the damage
From new york straight to paris
I'm talking lenny kravitz

He's so funky and he's looking good
And he does it like a good man should
And i would love him if only i could
But his heart is like a piece of wood

But i gotta have it
Watch out for the damage
From new york straight to paris
I'm talking lenny kravitz

17.If Six Was Nine(Jimi Hendrix Cover)

Witten:jimi hendrix

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, no baby i don't mind
And if the mountains fell in the sea
It ain't me, you know you've got to be free

I got my own world to live through
And i ain't gonna copy you

Now if six turned out to be nine
I don't mind, no baby i don't mind,
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, no baby i don't care

Because i, i've got my own world to live through,
And i ain't gonna copy you

White collar conservative walkin' down the street
Pointin' their plastic finger at me,
Hopin' my kind will drop and die
But i'm gonna wave my freak flag high,
So..., play on drummer

I've got my own world to live through,
And i ain't gonna copy you


18.I'll Be Around

I'm sorry if i tell you that you don't smell like roses
I'm tired of all the hypocrisy and all your silly poses
But honey what i tell you is the truth
So don't turn away
When i said i accepted you
I was here to stay
And i'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, i'll be around

I'm sorry if i offended you
But don't walk away
But someone's gotta speak the truth
About the things you say
You can't just dog everybody
Who's supposed to be your friend
Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin' on a friend

And i'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, i'll be around

I'll be around
Out on the town
I'll be around
Oh, i'll be around
I'll be around

I can always be found
Cause i'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around


19.Is It Me Is It You

And so there comes a time,
We must both make up our minds,
Is our angel singing true,
Is it me is it you ?

I just got to know it now,
Rode somewhere, some place, somehow
Is our love as deep as blue
Is it me is it you ?
Is it me is it you ?

I'm lost in your love
Don't think i ever stopped
I got the feeling that's the reason why
And the question's loud and clear
Should we stay or should we bend
It just gets deeper in the end
I know you want to know it too
Is it me is it you ?
Is it me is it you ?


20.Just As Long As You Are There

Written:lenny kravitz/henry hirsch

I'll walk across a river without any thought
So it for you baby

Just as long as you are there my love
Just a long as you are there

I'll go up to the mountain
Go into the sea
Gonna save you baby
Alright you and me
Just as long as you are there

Just as long as you are there my love
Just a long as you are there

Boy you know i won't be far
And if you call me i'll be there
And we'll leave all our troubles behind
As i walk through life i see that life
Has taken me through so many changes
But as long as we can learn to love
I know everything's gonna be alright
So take hold of my hand baby

Just as long as you are there my love
Just a long as you are there

So baby just call me
And you know that i'll be there
And you don't have to beg or plead
Just call my name

I'll walk across the river
I'll walk across the water


21.Justify My Love(The Beast Within Mix)

Lyrics taken from the bible

(from revelation 1:3)
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy
And blessed are those who hear
And who keep what is written therein
For the time is near

(from revelation 1:7)
He is coming with the clouds
And every eye will see him
Everyone who pierced him
And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him

(from revelation 2:1-4)
Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things
of satan
I know your works, i know your toil, and your patient endurance
And how you cannot hear evil men
But have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are not
And found them to be false
I know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my
namesake
And you have not grown weary
But i have this against you
That you have abandoned the love you had

(from revelation 2:9-10)
I know your tribulation and your poverty
And the slander of those who say that they are jews, but they
are not
They are a synagogue of satan
Do not fear what you are about to suffer
Behold the devil is about to throw you into prison

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love
Hoping, praying for you to justify my love

(from revelation 13:1-10)
And i saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven
heads
And a blasphemous name upon its head
And the beast that i saw was like a leopard
Its feet were like a bear's
And its mouth was like a lion's mouth
And to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great
authority
One of his heads had a mortal wound
But it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healed
And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder

Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the
beast
And they worshipped the beast saying
'who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?'
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous
words
And it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against god

It was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer
And authority was given it over every tribe
And a people and tongue and nation
And all who dwell on earth could worship it in vain
If anyone has an ear let him hear
If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will go
If anyone who slays with the sword, with the sword

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love
Hoping

(from revelation 21:1-8)
Then, i saw a new heaven and a new earth
And i heard a great voice from the throne saying:
'behold the dwelling of god is with men
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people
And god himself will be with them
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore
For these things will have passed away

To the thirsty i will give water without price
From the fountain of the water of life
He who conquers shall have this heritage
And i will be his god and he shall be my son

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted
As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all
liars
Their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and
brimstone.'

(from revelation 22:10-13)
And he said to me, he said to me:
'do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near
Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy
And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy
Behold, i am coming soon
I am the alpha and the omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end.'

Amen

What are you gonna do?


22.Justify My Love

Written:lenny kravitz/madonna

I wanna kiss you in paris
I wanna hold your hand in rome
I wanna run naked in a rainstorm
Make love in a train cross-country
You put this in me
So now what, so now what?

Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love

I want to know you
Not like that
I don't wanna be your mother
I don't wanna be your sister either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me

Yearning, burning
For you to justify my love

What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Talk to me -- tell me your dreams
Am i in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories
I'm not afraid of who you are
We can fly!

Poor is the man
Whose pleasures depend
On the permission of another
Love me, that's right, love me
I wanna be your baby

I'm open and ready
For you to justify my love
To justify my love
Wanting, to justify
Waiting, to justify my love
Praying, to justify
To justify my love
I'm open, to justify my love


23.Let Your Love Come Down

Written:steve winwood/walden/capaldi

Some say i know, others say i don't
That's alright now
What i'm saying every day is that love will find a way
That's no lie now
When the road's getting tough and you think you've had enough
Don't give up now
Show the world how you feel, gonna let them know you're real
Don't be shy now

Let your love come down
Let it flow now
Just let it flow now, baby, yeah
Let your love come down
Come on and show me now
Don't hold it back now
Oh girl, you got to
Let your love come down
Let your love come down
Let it all go now
Let your love come down, baby
Let your love come down

Make sure that you're true in everything you do
Don't you fake it
And when you're caught in the heat and you think it's got you
beat
You can take it
You got time on your side and this door is open wide
You can make it (oh yes we can)
It was there from the start, got the power in your heart
Don't forsake it

Give your heart, darling, every day
Wear your love now, baby, don't hide away
Roll it over, don't delay
Let's start a new day

25.Like Father Like Son

Written:elton john/tim rice

Like father, like son
Like father, like son
Like father, like son

Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes
No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes
Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your
fate
To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's
child
At times acclaimed, at times reviled
You wind up doing just what i've done
Like father, like son
Like father, like son

Don't assume your vices get handed down the line
That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design
I've done wrong, i can't deny, but at least i know that i
Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock
But i'm no chip off any block, i wouldn't wish those words on
anyone
Like father, like son
Like father, like son

Son, you're nervous, take my hand
All is settled, all is planned
You've got the world at your command
I don't think you understand

Just have the slave if you must, and be done with her
Don't ever speak of her like that again

I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excel
It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smell

From this day on i choose my own way
If i choose to be with aida, then i will be
And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop me

He's lost all sense of reason, and why some foreign slut
Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shut
Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will it mesh
Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sight
Then i think he will see the light
He won't walk back to daddy, he will run
Like father, like son
Like father, like son
Like father, like son
Like father, like son


26.Line Up

Written:steven tyler/joe perry/lenny kravitz

If you think that you're strong
Wanna fight well come on and line up
When the going gets tough
And your talk ain't enough, line up

We gotta get up, get out before
They get us down
'cause livin' up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up
So don't be surprised
When they pull the wool over your eyes
Yeah, don't get funked up

If you got all the stuff
And you can't get enough then line up
If you're out on a limb
And you wanna come in then line up

Your heads down, sittin' round
Pick yo face up off the ground
And get yourself together baby
And learn to stand tough
Come on and line up

We better get to it instead
Of just standing around
Its time to get down

If you're playing to win
Then your only way in is line up
If we all wanna live
Then we all gotta give, line up

(vanessa paradis)
Tonight, i'm yours
And you are mine
I know a place we can hide
I know a place
Where we can finally see the rainbow
And we can fly fly fly fly fly

I know a place
Over the lonely lonely rainbow
Were we can make things right

I know a place where we can
Always be together
And we can go tonight

(lenny kravitz)
I know a place where we can live our lives
And i know a place
Where we can see the light

I know a place
Over the lonely lonely rainbow
Where we can make things right
Over the lonely lonely lonely lonely rainbow

29.Main Squeeze(Duet With Teena Marie)

Written:teena marie and doug grigsby

Hey you, where are you going with that suitcase
Naw, put that down, you ain't going nowhere

Just reflecting on the way it was - it is irrelevant
The fact we're still together baby doll - is so significant
I love you child i always will this will never change
I sign myself to you baby every time i speak your name
Back in the days when i was young and blind
Hanging with the sista's we was fine as wine
Checking you out on a regular basis
I even let you touch me in all my secret places

And i gave in when you held me
And we move and we groove and you wanted me
And you loved me and you wanted me
And you moaned and you groaned so don't you be
Crazy i'm your baby hold me tighter baby ahh
I'm your main squeeze - come on and squeeze me baby
Don't erase me i'm your baby
Kiss me one time and it's over
I'm your main squeeze - squeeze me - tease me

Round and round we go
In and out and up and over
Give me your love - ooh i need your love - i want your love

I couldn't see the forest for the trees
And every guy that tried to turn my head
Could not obstruct my view
You love me child you always will
In this you have no choice
You sign yourself to me every time you hear my voice

Back in the day when you was leading the pack
Honey you're my man - young gifted and black
Riding around in an old '64
I even let you touch me, even let you score
And i gave in when you held me
And we moved and we grooved and you wanted me
And you loved me and you wanted me
And you moaned and you groaned so don't be crazy
Couldn't see the forest baby, through the trees
All i saw was you - ooh baby
And we moved, and we grooved
And we moved and we grooved and you wanted me

30.Mean Sleep(Duet With Cree Summer)

Written:cree summer

What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence
Handfuls of hate and the bittersweet ambivalence
'cause i am pushing cobwebs and i'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep

How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life

You could burn a thousand days
And i would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And i'd still love you back to life
But my needs rising angry and loneliness like quicksand
Who will find me under still mean sleep

How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life

I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by my memory
Had shut down half my mind
Just to still the space you left behind
'cause i am pushing cobwebs and i'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep

How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life


31.Move With Me

Written:neneh cherry/c. mcvey/lenny kravitz

Into a world i plunge thru my headphones
Escape into the streetlight
I begin to believe in destiny
When my surroundings in rhythm with me
I'm just a grain of sand walking in a sea of people
I look around me and my name is just someone
For a moment in time i belong
Where my heart beats the fear is gone
Like destiny

So move with me i'm strong enough
To be weak in your arms
Move with me i'm strong enough
To be real in your arms

Whispering as i was driving
Quietly the car was rolling
Like a bullet
I was feeling the speed moving
Me faster. addicted to the rhythm
On my ghetto blaster
That's me supposing
That the clarity of thought
Is clear enough to think
It's real enough to touch
The wind on me got me tripping
Can i keep you next to me
Till the end of the world

Like the joker on the pile
Never coming or going
The colour of my true cards was showing
Keeping in touch with an idea
That i been growing
Trust trust i must trust
With my head on my chest
I rest with the rest of the restless


32.My Flash On You

I don't wanna be in your company,
I don't need you take care of me,
Let me long, let me long, let me long, won't you let me be,
'cause all i want in this world is to say i'm a man as we,
People talk about the way i look,
I think that all the things they say have got enough to write a
book,
But don't they know, don't they know, don't they know, it's a
waste of breath
'cause i don't want to be like them i just want to be myself
Woke up !

Don't try and push your ??? trust my way,
'cause baby i lose my soul and that's where is gonna stay
You try to put them down on the ground, anywhere, that you
choose
Get your kids from your fist 'cause baby this time, you gonna
lose
Woke up !


33.Natural High

Written:lenny kravitz

All i give
Is all i got
And all i am
Ain't what i'm not
And i ain't gonna lie or beg
For your love
I'm on a natural high

When morning comes
Take my hand
To free your mind
Come to my land
But i ain't gonna lie or beg
For your love
I'm on a natural high

And i don't require no service
And i'll make sweet love to you
Every day and night
I live my life for you
I'm on a natural high

All i give
Is all i got
And all i am
Ain't what i'm not
And i ain't gonna lie or beg
For your love
I'm on a natural high


34.No Expectations(Rolling Stones Cover With Mick Jagger)

(mick jagger)
Take me to the station,
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations,
To pass through here again

(lenny kravitz)
Once i was a rich man,
And now i am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have i felt so like this before

(mick jagger)
Your heart is like a diamond,
You throw your pearls at swine
And as i watch you leaving me,
You pack my peace of mind

(lenny kravitz)
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music,
It's here and then it's gone

(mick jagger)
So take me to the airport,
And put me on a plane
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again

(lenny kravitz & mick jagger)
To pass through here again

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight

You like me, and i like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

They put you down, they say i'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, i love you so!

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl 'cause she's
Not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight

You like me, and i like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it now

They put you down, they say i'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess

Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, i love you so!

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And i love your dress
Because your face is a mess
???
So how could they know?
How could they know?
I say i could they know?
How could they know?
How could they know?


36.Silver And Gold

Written:lenny kravitz

(vanessa paradis)
How many children must die
How many rivers run dry
How many angels must cry
For silver and gold

(lenny kravitz)
Why don't we learn
From our past
How many more years
Will we last
'cause life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold

(vanessa paradis)
For silver and gold
How much more time
Can we waste
How much more land
Be defaced

(lenny kravitz)
Oh yeah
'cause soon we will all be erased
For silver and gold

(vanessa paradis)
'cause our earth should last forever
And our lives forever on, on ...

(lenny kravitz)
For god gave us all to partake

(vanessa paradis)
Why can we just learn to relate
We're pissing on our children's face
For silver and gold.

(lenny kravitz & vanessa paradis)
For silver and gold

(vanessa paradis)
For silver and gold

(lenny kravitz & vanessa paradis)
For silver and gold

Waiting impatiently for you to come
Wondering if you will always be the one
Is this good for you
Is it wonderful for you too
'cause baby i told you i'm ready for love

Well whatever it is darling, i just want you near
And we'll be together just you and me dear

38.Sundays Mondays

Written:Lenny Kravitz/Henry Kirsch

The sun is out
The clouds are slowly going
And now my heart is growing fast
So let's get up
Put on you hat and clothing
Let's take a trip and lose our minds

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day

Sometimes it's fun
To just escape and run
And leave the troubled world behind
So let's get lost
And get our juices flowing
And let's go see what we can find

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day


39.Superstition(Stevie Wonder Cover)

Written:stevie wonder

Very superstitious
Writing's on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder's about to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't want to save me
Sad is my song

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
Devil's on his way
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Superstition ain't the way...
Superstition ain't the way...


40.The Future Song

Written:lenny kravitz

Life brings on unexpected changes
But we must carry on despite it
Are we gonna try
Are we gonna make it
Why is love so very hard
Why is peace so very far
I can't make it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

We can't control all our situations
And we can't console underpriviledged
Nations
So why don't we try
To make more smiling faces
We're so full of disregards
We feel pain within our hearts
I can't take it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

So i'm calling out
Out to all he races
We can't gain control
Without communication
And we need to learn for future generations
There is a future in our stars
There is beauty that is ours
We're gonna make it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye


41.The Majority

Written:duff mckagan

You call me the mean man
You point your finger at me
Having problems with authority
In every major city

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
The majority

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be i'll be me to the end

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

You got to think about your children
Fuck bureaucracy
Take the weight off your shoulders
We're not the public enemy
Can't you see, can't you see

You call me the mean man
I say you call me the mean man

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need your to be
Cause i'll be me to the end

Got to think about the children
Think think about the children

You got to think about the children

Written:j. pankow/g. o'connor

What's been goin' on
I've been tryin' to get through to you
Has it really been that long?
I've been thinkin' about you baby
And the way it used to be
There's so many things i want to say
But will the words come out all wrong?
After all that's said and done
You're still the only one

You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see
You're still the only one
Each and every night i pray
Hopin' there'll come a day
Baby you believe
You're still the only one

Got to find a way
To get back inside your heart again
If i let you walk away
I'd be dyin' without you baby
So i just keep holdin' on
Don't you know we were meant to be
But then i knew it all along
After all that we've been through
You're still the only one

You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see
You're still the only one
Each and every night i pray
Hopin' there'll come a day
Baby you believe
You're still the only one

And the fire of our love
Keeps me runnin' back to you
And no matter where you are
I will never be that far
Away

You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see
You're still the only one
Each and every night i pray
Hopin' there'll come a day
Baby you believe
You're still the only one
Ain't no need to wonder why
I'll love you 'till the day i die
Baby i believe
You're still the only one

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one for me sweet baby

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one for me sweet darlin'

Written:bill withers

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Uh huh but my answer about all that use me stuff

I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting
used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that i ought to not let you just walk on me
Well i'm sure that he meant well, yeah but when our talk was
throught

I said brother if you only knew you'd wish you were in my shoes
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
Oh you get me in a crowd of high class people
And you act real rude to me
I said, oh baby, baby, baby, baby, when you love me i can't get
enough

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
