1.Someone Like You

Written：James Harris Iii／Terry Lewis／James Wright

I've waited a lifetime,
For someone just like you,
Somebody who will take my hand,
Someone who's warm and true,
Romancing by candlelight,
A touch from you thrills my heart,
Say if you love me and it feels right,
Nothing can keep us apart,
All my life I've waited for someone like you,
With a heart of gold,
I always knew you would come my way,
Ally my life I've waited for some like you,
From now 'til the end of the time,
That's how long I'll be loving you,
Together we will live in paradise,
A paradise made for two,
All my prayers have been answered,
And my dreams are reality,
I feel complete whenever you're next to me,
So I'm gonna hold on,
I'll never let go, No, No,
With a heart of gold, I always knew you would come my way,
All my life I've waited for someone like,
Everyday we'll make sunshine,
Every night like the first time,
Anything that's on your sweet mind,
I'll make it happen for you and only you,
Ain't no shame I my game,
All my life I waited for you.


2.I Like The Way It Feels

Written：Gerald Levert／Edwin Nicholas／Patti Labelle

I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real,
so real,
I like the way it feels, feels, feels, because you keep it real,
so real,
You rarely stay out late and if you do you call me up (oh baby),
I never worry about you in someone else's arms making love (oh
no),
There ain't no pressure when you know that I'm not in the mood
cause 365...
Boy I'll give my everything to you,
I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real,
so real,
Women do complain they can't find a man to satisfy heir needs
(oh no)
Someone sensitive, willingness to give and able to please and...
I like the way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real,
so real,
I like the way it feels, feels ,feels because you keep it real,
so real.


3.You Are My Solid Ground

Written：David Foster／Linda Thompson

When you're lying tenderly beside me,
And I feel your breath so soft against my cheek,
All my fears just disappear in darkness,
And I know for sure,
I could never leave,
You are the strength that I've found to see,
You life me up when I'm down-loving me,
When I never thought,
That I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground,
I don' t need a fairy tale to save me,
I've got all the magic I need in your arms,
And I won't even fly away in madness,
I'll stay close enough to always feel your warmth,
You are the strength that I've found to see,
You lifted me up when I'm down-loving me,
When I never thought that I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground,
I'm...so in love with you,
You're everything faithful and true,
I know I could touch every star,
When you're lifting me and I'm right there where you are,
You are the strength, that I've found to see,
You life me up when I'm down...loving me,
When I never thought, that I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground, you are my solid ground.


4.Flame

Written：Brenda Russell／Ira Antelis

Find me, you can always find me,
Lovin' you so kindly, your life is like candlelight,
And darlin' no one told us,
No one every told us,
What this love could hold for us,
Maybe we were meant to find it, faithfully,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know in your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
Know you, no one knows like I do,
There's one thing I'm sure is true,
That we were meant to share our whole lives through,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
Whether you're far away or near to me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on.


5.Let Me Be Your Lady

Written：James Harris Iii／Terry Lewis／James Wright

There was a time,
I said I didn't need you in my life,
I'll be alright,
I always had excuses to disguise,
How I felt inside,
So much loneliness is hard to hide,
So I'll testify,
I know in your arms,
True love I can find,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied,
It's hard to find,
But your love's given me a peace of mind,
So I fantasize,
I think of loving you everyday and night,
'Cause you take control,
And relax me 'cause you know where to go,
You're so wonderful,
Wanna tell the world,
I want them to know,
Just how good it feels,
I don't want bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisified,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
Just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied.


6.Does He Love You

Lyrics：Sandy Knox／Billy Stritch
Music：Sandy Knox／Billy Stritch

I've known about you for a while now,
Then he leaves me he wears a smile no,
As soon as he's away from me,
In his arms is where you want to be,
But I'm the one he rushes home to,
I'm the one he have his name to,
You never see his face in the early morning light,
I have his morning his babies,
And I'm the only one who has his nights,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
And when he's with you he knows he needs me,
And that he wants me and he believes in me,
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else,
If you think he'll ever leave me you're just deceiving yourself,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
Should I loose my temper,
Shouldn't you be ashamed,
Cause I have nothing to lose,
And you have nothing to gain,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me.


7.Shoe Was On The Other Foot

Written：Gerld Levert／Edwin'Tony'Nicholas

Sorry to disturb you,
But I have to get this off my chest,
I know you gotta get money,
I don't got time for emotional stress,
Taking care of home,
Means more than just rent,
It means calling now and then on occasions stopping in,
And sometimes having flowers sent,
What if I stayed out late and didn't even call,
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you fill,
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
Baby what would you do,
If the shoe was on the other foot,
I think you take for granted that I'm always gonna be here,
This is your final notice soon I'm gonna be out of here,
Now I'm not asking for a whole lot just think of me now and
then,
Years from now I don't want you saying how this love could have
been,
What if I stayed out late and didn't call,
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you fall,
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
Baby what would you do,
If the shoe was on the other foot,
You should do unto others as you would have them do to you,
You reap what you sow that's how it goes,
So be careful what you do,
Ain't no good gonna come to you,
What if I stayed out late and didn't even call,
Wasn't there to pcik you up whenever you fall,
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
Baby what would you do,
If the shoe was on the other foot.


8.Addicted To You

Written：Sheldon Goode／Sami Mckinney／Denoise Rich

In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to yo,
I try to let go,
But I can't say no,
It's sad but it's true,
I'm addicted to you,
What am I doin' I wish I knew,
This hold you got on me,
Won't let my heart be free,
From this confusion,
When will it all end,
In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to you,
I was detemined,
I made up my mind,
Once I walked out that door,
I couldn't take no more,
Of sad delusions,
Here I go again,
In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to you,
I try to let go,
But I can't say no,
It's sad but true,
I'm addicted to you,
I wanna be strong,
I know although it's wrong,
I keep holdin' on,
But my will is gone,
I look in your eyes,
I see past the lies,
There's nobody else,
In spite of myself.


9.When You Talk About Love

Written：James Harris Iii／Terry Lewis／James Wright

I'd like to give you a test,
So darlin' prepare yourself,
When I say Love please explain,
What picture pop in your brain,
'Cause when you talk about love (love, love, love),
When you think about love (love, love, love),
When you talk about love (love, love, love),
You should be talkin' 'bout me.
Now if you need to be taught,
Don't make me an after thought,
For every lesson that's wrong,
You can bet my good lovin' will be gone,
So let's erase any doubt,
Take a few seconds to figure out,
Speak from your lips to my ears,
Yes, I know you know what I wanna hear,
'Cause when you talk love (love, love, love),
When you think about love (love, love, love),
When you talk about love (love, love, love),
You should be talkin' 'bout me.
No I'm not gonna play tit for tat,
When it comes to affairs of the heart,
But if I love you I want you back,
And I know that I love you so just do your part.


10.Love Is Just A Whisper Away

Written：Sami Mckinney／Kenny Moore／Denise Rich

People will tell you,
So many things,
Just to be closer to you,
Darlin' believe in me,
I'm gonna try,
To help you see your way through,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or right,
Live is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Love is just a whisper away,
Really don't matter,
Where you may be,
You've got a griend in me,
Don't be shy,
I'll be here,
Stop on by,
All of your tears I'll dry,
No doubt about it,
No one should stand alone,
Come on in time of need,
My love will guide you,
When you can't find your way,
I'll move mountains for you,
If you just ask me to,
Baby let me do something for you,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or night,
Love is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Love is just a whisper away.


11.If By Chance

Lyrics：Bernard Belle
Music：Bernard Belle

If by chance,
We meet again,
I'll be sure to say I love you,
If by chance,
I see your face,
I'll be dazzled by the magic in your eyes,
They look so sweet,
If by cjhance we should happen to meet,
I'll run into your arms so safe and warm,
By your side I'll stand,
If by chance we meet again (3X),
I talk to you,
I wonder if the words would come out right,
If by chance,
I held you close,
I could drift away with the warmth of your embrace,
You were so sweet,
If By chance we should happen to meet,
We'll start all over again,
Me and my best friend,
A whole new life we'll plan,
If by chance we meet again,
If by chance we meet again.


12.Let Me Be There For You

Written：Jayne Oldeman／Dwayna Kitz

We stood on an island of our own,
From the moment we first met,
And we will forever,
So seldom found ; A privilege to hold,
Like a precious stone,
That I will always treasure,
In my mind I picture you,
And thought you're far away,
It's like you're right here with me everyday,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can trun to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there,
You think you've got a friend and then you see,
When your eyes are closed,
They're out to deceive,
No need to wonder when it comes to me,
By now, You should know,
I'm the one you can believe,
In this game of life we play,
You can't always win,
And when you look for refuge,
Take my hand,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can turn to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there.


13.You Saved My Life

Lyrics：Terry Steele／Tom Keane
Music：Terry Steele／Tom Keane

Now and then,
I look where I've been,
It seem the good sometimes went wrong,
I see in YOU, the love that pulled me through,
The love that kept me strong...
You saved my life,
When drowing in a lonely sea,
You reached out and rescued me,
You save my life,
With love You saved my life,
Yo've been there,
When no one dared to care,
Somehow you shield me from all harm,
A guiding light, in my darkest night,
My shelter in the storm...
You saved my life,
When all around was sinking sand,
You were there with out stretched hands,
You saved my life,
With love you saved my life,
With nothing to gain, you bared my pain,
From the start, showed me love from the heart,
And when all else failed, on faith in you I held,
Yes my life, my soul, I owe you...
I... saved my life,
It took time, but now I see,
Your love supplies all me needs,
You saved my life,
With love YOU saved my life.


14.Don't Block The Blessings

Written：Don Graham／Pam Wolfe／Malcolm Allison／Armstead Edw

There's no such a thing as a broken heart,
It can't be shattered, can't be torn apart,
It won't start bleeding when love seems gone,
It just keeps beating on and on and on and on,
Someday this hurt that I feel will pass,
These tears I cry over you won't last,
I know my dreams won't really die,
And there's life for me so much life when I,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessing,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I'll move out of the darkness,
And make my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some,
Brand new chance to overcome,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessings,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I moved out of darkness,
And made my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance,
I think I will overcome,
Don't block the blessings,
Don't give up what ever you do,
Don't block the blessings,
Good things will hapeen for you.
