2.Boys To Men

Growing up can be a pain
You're not an man until you come of age
We've given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our career
Who assumes responsibility
Of having to support our families
Who's protecting us from harm
Is there anyone around
That we can trust

So we search for answers to our questions
Looking for answers
No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
Life's responsibility falls in our hands

Keep on learning
Keep on growing
'cause wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing
Without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men

Oh the goals we set may exceed reality
Cause failurealways a possibility
Who can tell us that we're wrong
It's up to us to figure out
What life is all about

So we search for answers to questions
Looking for the answers
No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
'cause wisdom helps us see our responsibility.


3.Candy Girl

When you were 17 and i was 19
We feel deep in love growin' up in queens
We didn't know a thing about love
We was innocent, sneakin' on the doorstep to hug
Held you tightly and promised you the world
You gave me hickeys and said you was my girl
When i think about it now it makes me smile
＆cause i ain't felt these butterflies in a while
Funny how you grow up and innocence fades
We used to live for love but now we're afraid
{of what？}
Of the darkness and bitter memories
Lovers who crushed us through infidelity
I promised you i'll love you to the end
Always and forever, since way back when, uh
You're like candy,
The world's sweetest friend
You taste better now than you did back then

You will always be my candy
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
(you'll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
I want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
(i'm down for whatever)

While you suck caramel apple lollypops
Rain, sleet, or snow i'm troopin' up the murdock
We used to walk down the block, hold hands
I would get you after school ＆cause i was your man
And, any guys that wanna socialize
Just know that i'mma flip on any cat that tries
My peeps used to say i was whipped
All your girls said, since you got with him you flipped§
But, uh, they couldn't feel the feelings we felt
Mirrors on the ceiling we melt
I would look up at ya
I remember the afternoon you surrendered
We made love,
Your temperature was high as could be
You said, todd, promise you ain't lyin' to me§
And as we went our separate ways you turned back
Smiled, i remember all that

You will always be my candy
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
(my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
Want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
(okay, take it to the bridge)

Candy girl
You are my world
Look so sweet
You're a special treat

Candy girl
(mmm, mmm, mmm)
All i want to say
I need your love
Each and every day

When i'm alone in my room,
Sometimes i stare at the wall
And in the back of my mind,
I hear my memories call
For days when love was true,
I slept and held you
Taste the brown sugar,
Let your climax melt you
Candy,
You're occupyin' all of my thoughts
Turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
I could feel you
Even when you're far away you're right here wit' me
Sweet love strictly
And i'mma bend over backwards to keep you on my side
Take you for a mental and emotional ride
Make love to your soul,
Your heart, and your mind
In your hour of need, girl,
I'll be there every time
And as long as you support my dreams
Stayin' right beside me as a part of my team
I'mma take you where the average man can only dream of
＆cause in a world so sour i got the sweetest love

You will always be my candy
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
(you'll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
Want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
{i love you too}
(i'm down for whatever)

Candy girl
You are my world
Look so sweet
You're a special treat
(you'll be my candy girl forever)

Candy girl
All i want to say
(word is bond, sweetheart, i swear)
I need your love
(i'm down for whatever)

Candy girl
(i love you baby, i love you baby)
(sometimes you gotta go back home)
Look so sweet
(yeah)
{i love you}
Candy girl


4.Can You Stand The Rain

On a perfect day
I know that i can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me can you weather a storm
'cause i need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and the bad times
She would always-always be right there

Sunny days everybody loves them-tell me baby
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come-this we know for sure
Can you stand the rain

Love unconditional
I'm not asking just of you
Girl to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
But i need somebody who will stand by me
When it's tough she won't run
She would always be right there for me.


5.Cool It Now

Everybody's saying, seeing things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And they've been checking all the time
My friends say i'm love sick cause i...
All i keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And i won't be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to

You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love

Everyday i walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And there's no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind
Cause all i keep thinking about is her in my arms
And i won't feel the same until she is mine
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
All i keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And i'll never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you can't mess with her mind
If she feels the same she'll letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
And i hope this message stays in your mind
Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
There's one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control

You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love

You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know you're only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
But this time i'm gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, bobby, ricky and mike
If i love the girl who cares who you like

Cool it now
Cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Gonna lose control
Cool it now
Slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love

7.If It Isn't Love

I don't love her
I tried to tell myself
But you can see it in my eyes
So don't deny
I can't fool no one else
The truth is in the tears i cry cause

Chourus：
If it isn't love
Why do i feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
If it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside
Of it isn't love

I told her i'd never fall in love (rap)
But now i know better

How does it feel
I can't describe this feelin'
That came when i saw her last night
She got to me
I'll let you know the reason
I saw her with anohter guy so

Chorus

Maybe she'll take me back
Hey girl he's begging
I made a big mistake
Won't you forgive him girl
Now i can feel it
He's never felt before
I really love her
You love her, what？

It took my heart
To shatter in a thousand pieces
Before i'd ever drop my pride
Losing love worrying about my image
Really helped me realize that

Chorus


8.Is This The End

Is this the end？ are you my friend？
It seems to me, you ought to be free.
You used to be mine when the chips were down.
You used to be mine when i weren't around.
Girl, can't you see how i feel？ all these feelings that i feel
are real.
Oh, girl, can't you see i need you？

Is this the end？ are you my friend？
It seems to me you ought to be free.
You used to be mine when the chips were down.
You used to be mine when i weren't around.
Girl, can't you see how i feel？ all these feelings that i feel
are real.
Oh, girl, can't you see i need you？

Aw, baby, is this the end？
Aw, baby, is this the end？

Mama told me one day it was gonna happen
But she never told me when.
She told me it would happen when i was much older.
Wish it would've happened then.
Mama told me one day it was gonna happen
But she never told me when.
She told me it would happen when i was much older.
Wish it would've happened then.

Is this the end？
I wanna know, i wanna know, i wanna know.
Is this the end？
I gotta know, i gotta know, i gotta know.
Is this the end？

9.Lost In Love

Would you love me
When nights are cold
Would you love me
When i grow old
Would you care
Baby it's not easy
Take me by surprise
And say you're there

Would you love me
Give me one more chance
Would you love me
Try and understand
Would you share a life
That is music
Show me in your eyes
That you'll stay with me tonight

I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And i'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

Would you love me
When i'm in doubt
Would you love me
Just to be around
Would you share my
Life that is music
Take me in your arms
And sing my melody

I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And i'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

And i'm lost in love
Say you really want me
Love is a passion
Just can't hide
And i'm lost in love
Time and again and it
Hurts me

You'll be my reason
For starting again, again

I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love
And all my dreams around you
I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm lost in love
Baby i can't live without you
