1.Never Gonna Fall

Lyrics:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney
Music:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney

I searched, I found and I lost love
Now I've started all over
Now not a day goes by when
I'm not sure you're the one

'Cos you give me something baby
It's a feeling I just can't contain
You give me something baby
And it's something I'll never find again

Chorus:
You give me love you give me life
Darlin' what more can I want
I'm never gonna fail in love again
You're givin' me something more and I know
I won't be searching no more
I'm never gonna fall in love again

I wake and feel you by my side
And your touch is so tender
I'm so at home in your caress
In your arms

'Cos you give me something baby
It's a feeling I just can't contain
You give me something baby
And it's something I'll never find again

Chorus

'Cos I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you

Oh I've found someone
Someone who I can depend on
And it changed my life
Knowing that I can survive

Chorus

'Cos I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you
I got you baby, you baby, you

2.The Real Thing

Lyrics:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney
Music:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney

Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing

No more living in shame
And I'm not gonna run or gonna hide away
No more telling all those lies
It's been too long

No more living in chains
No, I don't give a damn whet the people say
There's no use holding back desire
We've burnt our fingers now lets jump into the flames

Chorus:
Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
Never mind the rain and the storm
We'll keep each other warm
We got something stronger than strong
This is the real thing

Gonna walk out hand in hand
So let them criticise 'cos they don't understand
We've got nothing to hide
It's just love

I've had enough of shy
So let's go out and show them what we have inside
There's no use holding back desire
We've burnt our fingers now let's jump into tho fire

Chorus

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
'Cos I've got a feeling that's higher than high

Oh, what you do to me, baby
Oh, what you do to me, baby

This is the real thing

Chorus

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
'Cos I've got a feeling that's higher than high

3.I'm Leavin'

Written:Taura Stinson/Craiyge Lindesay

I come home from work and have a glass of wine
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well it's way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?

See I was fallin' asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until I smelt perfume, the kind I do not wear
My baby's been messin' around again

Chorus:
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby I'm leavin' I'm leavin' I'm leavin'
Leavin' you
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby I'm leavin' I'm leavin' I'm leavin'
Leavin' you

How could I be so dumb? I thought I loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
and now I understand
But I can't baby sit no more, it not what I loved you for
I'd rather be alone bye-bye cos' I'm really leavin' this time

Chorus

Look at you now begging down on your knees
Thinking I'm coming back, Oh child please
I said I was leavin' I mean whet I say
There's no turning around I'm Ieavin' today

Chorus

No I can't baby sit no more, it's not what I loved you for
I'd rather be alone bye-bye cos' I'm really leavin' this time

4.Suzanne

Lyrics:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney
Music:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney

With lips inviting me to kiss them
You stare me straight in the hips
It's all so simple it excites me
I stand and wait for your fingertips
You run your fingers through my hair
I feel the sweat on my back
There's something everybody dreams of
My dream is in your hands

Chorus:
The kiss is sweeter when it's under the sugar tree
Sweet and dripping with with deceit, yeah, the sugar tree

We move in closer to each other
I start to sway from the heat
I want this feeling of excitement
To lay me under the sugar tree
This is my honeysuckle dream
That lets me be who I want to be
Give me the best of your attention
And let me see what I wannna be

Chorus

Tonight you're everything to me
and I don't care what tomorrow may bring
Because I'm lying in yoour arms and the smell is so sweet
Let me be wild, let me free

This is my honeysuckle dream
That lets me be who I want to be
Give me the best of your attention
And let me see what I wannna be

Chorus and fade

Lyrics:Barry White
Music:Barry White

Spoken:
Oh baby, you know I've waited, waited so long
To sing...to sing this song

Whatever, whatever, babe I'll do it
Forever and ever, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll see you through it

For someone just like you to makes me feel the way you do

6.Don't Cry For Me

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/M.C.Rooney/M.Morales

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cos they don't see me kissing you no more

My sky has fallen down through the floor
I go to sleep with no-one to hold
In bed when you were near me
I didn't really feel the cold at all

Chorus:
I'm picking up the pieces now
Know I'm gonna get through somehow so
Don't cry for me
I've gotta make it on my own
Learn to be alone
Ooh baby
Don't cry for me

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
I've gotta fill it up and make a new start
I can't sit here forever
Although it seems I'll never ever get that far

I'm gonna get outside and make some new friends
And put me back together again
It's no use feeling lonely
When I know I'm not the only one who feels like this

Chorus

It's hard baby it's hard
But I'm trying
Trying my best to make it through
I know deep in my heart when I'm crying
I'm trying to forgive you

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cos they don't see me kissing you no more

Chorus

7.The Line

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/T.Gomwells

I look at the sky to where my future's lying
And I almost start to cry
Blinded by the sun I'm trying to hold onto
The very last of precious time

Then I start to thinking what a mess we're making
And it won't get better by & by
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus:
We cannot overstep
We cannot overstep the
We cannot overstep the line

So many baby's arms with nothing to hold onto
But just a precious flake of life
You think you care about them
They think you care about them
But thinking's only wasting time

If we really want to say the things we want to
It takes a bigger man to try
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus

Well politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while
Little men go out to die
The only arms they're hugging are the ones they're running
Later to be justified

I say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus

Say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can point it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus


8.The Very Thought Of You

Lyrics:Ray Noble
Music:Ray Noble

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


9.You Know How To Love Me

Lyrics:J.Mtume/R.Lucas
Music:J.Mtume/R.Lucas

Sure you do
(You know how to make it right)
So nice
(You know how to love me
There's no denying
(Sweet as morning light)

Sooner or later
I knew you'd come my way
You're welcome to my love
Just promise that you'll stay

Chorus:
You know how to love me...Right
In a special way
You know how to love me...Tonight
And I wanna say
You know how to love me
You're the real that I feel never go away

Seeing's believin'
Don't you know you're a dream come true
Ain't nothin' deceivin''bout the way that I'm lovin' you

(You know how to love me) You know, you know
(You know how to make it right)
I can feel it
(You know how to love me)
No doubt about it
(Sweet as morning light)

Nothing's forever
That's what people say
But each time that we're together
Forever and a day

Chorus


10.I Cried My Last Tear Last Night

Lyrics:D.Warren
Music:D.Warren

Yesterday thought my world was over
Yesterday when you said good-bye
Thought I'd spend my whole life just crying
Hurting inside
Oh but you know that...

I decided to pull my heart together
And chase your face from my mind
From this day on all the hurt is gone
I'll be fine

Chorus:
I cried my last tear last night baby
And I'm not gonna cry,
never never gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry no more
I cried my last tear last night baby
And one thing it true
Won't be crying over you
Never again

I remember the pain you caused me
I remember the nights I cried
Now I'm gonna forget you baby
Push you right out of my mind
Oh don't you know that...

I decided to find same better weather
And chase that rain right out of my sky
I'm all through being sad and blue
Tell you why...

Chorus

If you think I'll be broken hearted
Think it's time that you think again
'Cos this time I won't sit here waiting
Waiting here for the tears to end
Baby I refuse to be blue one more minute over you

And one thing is true
Won't be crying over you

Chorus

If you think I'll be broken hearted
Think it's time that you think again
'Cos this time I won't sit here waiting
Waiting here for the tear, to end
Baby I refuse to be blue one more minute over you

And one thing is true
Won't be crying over you

Chorus

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/R.Darbyshire

(Honest)
(Honest)
I just want to be honest with you

Honestly baby you've got me down on my knees
And honey I'm sorry as sorry can be
You see it got me, my defenses were down
All I'm praying is you'll still want me around
Ooh baby

Chorus:
I wanna be honest with you
You've seen it through
But I've gotta tell you babe
I've done something wrong
I wanna be honest with you
'Bout putting you through this pain
It was only a sexual thing
So help me baby
'Cos I wanna be honest
I wanna be honest with you

Babe we've gotta stop now and take a look at ourselves
'Cos we took a good thing and ran it down to the ground
Found myself lonely and in need of some love
But if it ain't the real thing
Well it just ain't enough
Ooh baby

Chorus

How much can I say I'm sorry?
What more can I do?
I wanna be with you
Won't you say we'll stay together
Don't you say it's gone
I wanna be with you
So baby please understand
I love you

Chorus

13.Got Me Missing You

Lyrics:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney
Music:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney

Spoken:
Sometimes people make mistakes
They play the game, play hard to get
Then it all goes wrong and they end up being lonely
I'm one of those people

Got me missing you
You've got me missing you

At the time it seemed OK
Nothing too serious I said
Just two people having fun
Or so I thought

At the time I was playing it cool
I had it all under control
But then I broke the golden rule
I went and said you'd never have me
But baby you've got me...

Chorus:
Missing you
Every day every night
You've got me missing you
Without you this ain't a life
Got me missing you
And baby try as I might
just can't stop this pain inside

If I could do it all again
I'd say the things I truly meant
'Cos now you're gone I've gone insane
Funny how I always said you'd never have me
But baby you've got me...

Chorus

I stay up late at night 'cos
I've been sleeping light
I've made a full-time job of going out of my mind
Can't see one good reason
I should live my life without you
Without you

Chorus

14.Footsteps

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/R.Darbyshire/F.Musker

Don't give up, you're not alone
Though you're weak and chilled to the bone
I will shore the pain that you're going through
If there's one set of footsteps I'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

If you're losing faith, I'll understand
Don't be afraid I'm holding your hand
If you trust in me then I will be true
If there's one set of footsteps I'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

Then I'm gonna walk on, walk on
I'm gonna walk on 'till the hurt is gone
Walk on, walk on
I'm gonna keep going, gonna carry on
Walk on, walk on
I'm gonna walk on
I'm gonna walk on

Don't give up, you're not alone
Gotta try to be strong, you've got to move on
Just hold on tight and you'll make it through
If there's one set of footsteps I'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

Walk on, walk on
Walk on, walk on

I'm gonna walk on 'till it's gone

Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why

16.People Hold On(Bootleg Mix)

Written:M.Black/J.More/L.Stansfield

Everybody's looking for a meaning
Everybody's doing their own thing
And nobody's solving the problem
Ain't nobody helping each other

Some people give into fear
Some people give into hunger
Some of us live for the future
And some of us wonder

Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope, and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone

Chorus:
People hold on
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on

Everybody's getting frustrated
Why should we live with this hatered
We've all dancin' on a thin line
They're makin' out we're having a good time
So who's gonna give us the answer
Sister and brother

Givin' into life, givin' into love
Maybe there's enough for everyone

Chorus

People hold on, people hold on to it
you know you gotta do it

Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope, and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone

Chorus
