Paula Abdul Greatest Lyrics
1.The Way That You Love Me

It ain't the clothes that you wear
It ain't the things that you buy
It ain't your house on the hill
It ain't the plane that you fly

It ain't your black limousine
It ain't your ninety-foot yacht
It ain't the things that you'll get
It ain't the things that you got

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey i ain't impressed with your material things

It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't your friends at the top
It ain't their fortune and fame
It ain't your heavy connections
It ain't the hollywood game

Ain't famous people or the parties they throw
Honey i ain't impressed with all the people you know

It's just the way that you love me
(in the heat of the night)
It's just the way that you love me
(baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(when you're loving me right)
It's just the way that you love me
(baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(and the things that you do)
It's just the way that you love me
(baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(make me crazy for you)
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey i ain't impressed with those material things

It ain't the trips to brazil
It ain't the weekends in rome
It ain't the french riviera
You know i'd rather stay home

Ain't the bahamas
It ain't monaco
Honey i ain't impressed
With all the places we go

It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
The way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
(it ain't the money)
It's just the way that you love me
(or the diamond rings)
The way that you love me
(ain't what you buy me baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(ain't material things)
The way that you love me
(ain't your maserati)
It's just the way that you love me
(your house on the hill)
The way that you love me
(it ain't the parties)
It's just the way that you love me
(or the trips to brazil)
Watch me dancin'...


2.Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up

(elliot wolff / howie tee / bryan abrams / mark calderon / kevin
thornton / sam watters)

Well there's not a bit of truth in what you hear
Just a whole lot of jealousy out there smearin'
My good name all over the place
Just to get you thinkin' that i'm two faced

But i would never go south
I was never dreamin' of anybody else
You're the only one i'd ever be with
I got a whole lot to say but babe the truth is

Chorus:
Ain't never gonna give you up
Ain't never gonna let you down baby
Ain't never gonna give you up
Hey hey hey hey
Yea yea yea
Ain't never gonna give you up
Yea yea yea
Ain't never gonna let you down baby

I wanna be right there for you so don't
Believe another word cause all those low girls
Only wanna put the split between us
They keep getting off on all the fuss
But i will always treat you
Just the way i always i'd do
You're the only one i'd ever be with
I got a whole lot to say but babe the truth is

Chorus

Baby don't you know that i want to be with you

Chorus


3.Blowing Kisses In The Wind

(p. lord)

So tell baby tell
Your true heart
Say what you say
When you're all alone
I'm trying
Trying to try
And feel you
And see if i see
I'm feeling alone
And all i want is
To get through
So baby, you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like i'm...

Chorus:
Blowing kisses in the wind
Giving you love that you
Haven't been given
I cross my heart
And hope to die
I'm only wishing you'd
Love me like i
Blowing kisses in the wind
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you is
Like blowing, blowing kisses

So please baby, please
Release me
If time after time
Your heart's growing cold
I'm saying
If you don't believe
In believing
Then how could true love
Ever be so
And all i want is
To get through
So maybe you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like i'm

Chorus

Like i'm like blowing kisses
I'm some-biddy-bum-bum
Like i'm blowing kisses
And all i want is
To get through
So maybe you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like i'm

Chorus

Like i'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Like i'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Like i'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Waiting for you us
Is like blowing,
Blowing kisses


4.Crazy Cool

(peter lord / v. jeffrey smith / sandra st. victor)

Sitting, chilling, thinking about you babe
You're like a long, cool glass of lemonade
Bitter, sweet and i want you so bad it hurts
You complete my life
And you quench my thirst, sexy

Sexy feelings just come over me
Playing with my dress like a summer breeze
Gentle as the touch of a falling leaf
You open me up to love
Now i gotta believe, gotta believe

Bridge:
Nothing's too good for my baby
Anything you want be free
It's the least that i can do
What you've given me, given me

Chorus:
Cause i'm cool, crazy cool
Crazy cool with you
In this groove, crazy groove
Back act a fool
Hey i'm cool, crazy cool
You're crazy cool with me
In this groove, crazy cool
Everything you need, sexy

Laying in the grass
Writing poetry
Looking up at the midnight sun
When you're making love to me
You showed me just how cool
Crazy cool can be
Now i know the meaning of ecstasy, ecstasy

Bridge

Chorus


5.Forever Your Girl

(oliver leiber)

Hey baby
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever...and ever and ever
(you know i am)

Baby pick your head up
Come on and look me in the face
Cuz i can tell that somethin'
Is bringin' you down
(why are you down?)

Is it the rumor
That another boy
Wants to take your place
(i hear he's after your heart)
Have you been hearin' the stories
They're goin' around
(all of my friends are talkin')

Baby just remember i gave you my heart
Ain't no one gonna tear us apart
He could promise the moon
And the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember i'm forever your gurl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Honey listen to me
Your love is all i need
You should know that i don't need nothin'
That money can buy
(it's no lie)
So if a boy were to come along
And try to make me leave you
(girl i'd go out of my mind)
There'd be no need to worry
I'm tellin' you why
(i need to hear that you really love me)

Baby don't you know that i love you
And i'd never put nobody above you
He could promise the moon and the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember i'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

I'm forever your baby
Just remember i'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

When the mountains crumble into the sea
That's the day someone'll come
Between you and me

Baby just remember i gave you my heart
(tell me) ain't no one gonna tear us apart
Baby he could promise me diamonds
Even if he promised me pearls
Honey you know i ain't lyin'
Listen as i tell it to the world

You gotta remember baby remember
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Baby forever and ever and ever
We'll be together
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever and ever and ever
You gotta remember
I'm forever...
Hey baby he could promise the world

Girl you know i love you
And i always will
If we live 'til forever
I'll be lovin' you
I'll be lovin' you still

I'm forever your girl


6.Knocked Out

(l.a. reid / babyface / d. simmons))

I was in love the moment that
I saw you
I followed you thru the crowd and i almost lost you
I was dying to tell you but scared of your reaction
But i can't hold back because i'm rushed
With this thing called passion

You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
You swept me off my feet

I walked your way hoping that
Maybe you noticed
I don't want to move so fast
I don't want to blow it
Never did i think love could be so amazing
But the things that you're making me do
It's driving me crazy

Repeat chorus twice

I want us to be closer, boy i wanna be
Startin' somethin with you baby
My heart is steady knockin boy you've got my body rockin,
Caught blow-by-blow, love t.k.o.

Repeat chorus twice and fade


7.My Love Is For Real

(rhett lawrence / paula abdul)

I made mistakes when i played with your mind
Gave you excuses with each story line
If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real

Watching you wondering what i feel inside
Deep in my soul i've got nothing to hide
If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real

So baby please don't worry
I wanna make it better
I wanna be your only love
This time i'll understand you
I'll never leave your side
This time it's got to be for you

Let's put an end to these long lonely nights
Things that were once wrong now turned out all right
If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real

You told me, you loved me
You said that
I need you, you want me
I told you

So baby i won't tease you
I'm gonna make it better
I'm wanna be your only love
This time i'll understand you
I'll never leave your side
This time it's got to be for you

If you ask me how i feel
My love is for real


8.Opposites Attract

(oliver leiber)

Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And i like t.v.
I take thing serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And i party all night
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
Cuz i move slowly
And baby i'm fast
I like it quiet
And i love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby i get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And i like to smoke
Things in common
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Repeat chorus

Baby ain't it somethin'
How we lasted this long
You and me
Provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever
Get our differences patched
Don't really matter
Cuz we're perfectly matched

Repeat chorus twice

Raps:
I'm m.c. kat on the rap so mic it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and i'm playing it cool
With my homegirl, paula abdul

Nothing in common but this trust
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus
One going up, one coming down
But we seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong we make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Try to fight it but i'm telling you jack
It's useless, opposites attract


9.Rush Rush

(p. lord)

You're the whisper of a
Summer breeze
You're the kiss that puts my
Soul at ease
What i'm saying is i'm
In to you
Here's my story and the
Story goes
You give love, you get love
And more than
Heaven knows
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run, i'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Oh baby, baby please

Chorus:
Rush, rush
Hurry, hurry lover
Come to me
Rush, rush
I wanna see, i wanna see ya
Get free with me
Rush, rush
I can feel it, i can feel you
All through me
Rush, rush
Ooh what you do to me

And all i want from you is
What you are
And even if you're right
Next to me
You're still too far away
If i'm not inside your arms
I get dramatic baby,
Yes i know
But i need you, i want you
Ooh man, i love you so
Ooh, ooh
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run, i'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Ooh baby, baby please

Chorus

When you kiss me
Up and down
Turn my senses all around
Oh baby, oh baby
I don't know
Just how or why
But no one else
Has touched me
So deep, so deep
So deep inside
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All me heart, all the joy
Oh baby baby please


10.Spellbound

Why does love hurt so
How do you just know
How to get to me baby
Words aren't only words
When they're from you they're
Heard
When you say
You really love me
Maybe it's a trick
Something doesn't click
Maybe it's a spell
That you've got me under
Something's going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and i found
I was spellbound.

Chorus:
Spellbound
So
Spellbound
So wicked
Spellbound
And your prison
Feels good so
Spellbound
Your kisses
Spellbound
Against my wishes
Spellbound
I wouldn't help it if i could

Metaphysical past the visual
You touch the heart of me
Night turns in to day
Shadows fade away
When you say you
Really love me
Maybe it's a trick
Something doesn't click
Maybe it's a spell
That you've got me under
Something's going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and i found
I was spellbound

Chorus

Maybe it's a trick
Something doesn't click
Maybe it's a spell
That you've got me under
Something's going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and i found
I was spellbound


11.Straight Up

(elliot wolff)

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby i'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am i caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When i think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am i caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am i a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus cont.

How about some information--please

Chorus out


12.The Promise Of A New Day

(p. lord / s. st. victor / v.j. smith / p. abdul)

Eagle's calling
And he's calling your name
Tides are turning bringing winds of change
Why do i feel this way
The promise of a new day

Chorus:
The promise
The promise of a new day
As thru time
The earth moves
Under my feet
One step closer
To make love complete
What has the final say
The promise of a new day

And so time over time
What will change the world
No one knows
So the only promise
Is a day to live, to give
And share with one another
See the wisdom
From mistakes in our past
Hear the younger
Generation ask
Why do i feel this way
The promise of a new day

Chorus

And so time over time
What will change the world
No one knows
So the only promise
Is a day to live, to give
And share with one another

Repeat song

14.Will You Marry Me?

(p. lord / s. st. victor / v.j. smith / p. abdul)

Just girl to boy
I'd like to share this thought with you
Our love's a joy
Two one's have made inseparable two
Last night my heart spoke to me
And it said
You've found that lover-friend
So now i've finally got the courage
Just ask you baby ooh

Chorus:
Will you, will you
Will you marry me boy
Will you, will you
Will you marry me
Will you, will you
Will you marry me boy
Will you, will
Will you, will you, will you
Come on baby now

I lay awake
So full with hope of things to come
For heaven's sake
I pray i'm not the only one
I never dreamed i'd be so bold
I'm standing here, my heart's been sold
So now i've finally got the courage
Just ask you baby ooh

Chorus

Think of love as wings
Not a ball and chain
And your fear of things
Unnecessary
I only want to share your name
Share your name
Last night my heart spoke to me
And it said
You've found that lover-friend
So now i've finally got the courage
Just ask you baby ooh

Chorus

Maybe sunday
Come on monday
Baby any time this week
Get an old house
Find a back yard
Buy some flowers down street
Tell your mother
Tell your mother
Don't tell anyone at all
All we need is
Just the two of us
And ooh...
