Soulful

Ruben Studdard Soulful Lyrics
1.Sorry 2004

(I'm sorry)
(I'm Sorry)

It's like I missed a shot,
It's like I dropped the ball.
(Damn I'm Sorry)
It's like I'm on stage,
and I forgot the words.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like building a new house,
with no roof and no doors.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like trying to propose,
and I ain't got the ring.
(Oooh damn I'm sorry)

But girl I've apologized
a million times before.
(I'll apologize a million more)
So here it comes again
for all the wrong I've done.
(so get ready babe)
Here's One million one.

Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

Its like stayin' out at night,
had way too much to drink.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like you change your hair,
and I dont say a thing.
(Damn I'm sorry)
It's like we're fallin' fast asleep,
with no kiss, and before we hit.
(yeah I'm sorry)
And It's like I forgot your gift,
on 02 14 03.
(Damn! So sorry!)

But girl I've apologized
a million times before.
(I'll apologize a million more)
So here it comes again
for all the wrong I've done.
(so get ready babe)
Here's One million one.

Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
(I'm 'a take my time)
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

I'm sorry for the way that I did you
I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for how I hurt you girl
I'm sorry on the weekends, sorry on the weekdays
sorry for the things I did, Sorry for the things i said
sorry for the lies
sorry for the time
That I didn't get you what you want,
That I didn't get you what you like.
What can I do to tell you that I'm sorry babe.
(sorry, sorry)

Wooooooooh!
All them strip clubs,
all them hot tubs.
I'm gone give them up,
'cause I dont want to lose you love

Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
Sorry 2004
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
Sorry 2004

Keep securcurcurcurcure.

From hangin out late in the Bama, to Beverly Hills, California.
From heatin up the leftovers, to becomin a restaurant owner.
From a litle block, from a little hood, to the whole world and
it's all good.
And if ya didn't know, i was a star before the show, but if it
was....

No block, No Ruben
No hood, No Ruben
No boulevards, No Ruben
No cornerspots, No Ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be
alright.
And if it wansn't no yoouuu...
there would be no Ruben.

From wearin my big brother's clothes, to buyin him a new
wardrobe (yes I did)
From listenin to Fred Hammond, to hangin out wit Fred Hammond.
From a little block from a little hood, to the whole world and
it's all goood,
and if ya didn't know I was a star (was a star) before the show
(before the show) but if it waas...

No block, No Ruben

No cornerspots, No Ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be
alright.
And if it wansn't no yoouuu...
there would be no Ruben.

Aaaaahaaaaaheeey
This goes out to the barbershops, the black man's country club.
And this goes out to the single mothers, at the laundry mat
fooldin covers.
Your my inspiration, and you've been my motivation.
And that's whhyyyy, I had to do this dedication cause if it
waaaaaaas...

No block, No Ruben
No hood, No Ruben
No boulevards, No Ruben
No cornerspots, No Ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be

And if it wansn't no yoouuu...

Hey Ruben let's take em to church...
If it wasn't for the block (No Ruben)
If it wasn't for the hood (No Ruben)
If it wasn't for the boulevards (No Ruben)
And and the cornerspots (Nooo Ruben)
Stayin up (late nights) late nights (tellin mama) tellin mama
(everything gone beee) all right (heeeyy)
And if it wasn't for yoouuu... there would be, there would be,
No Ruben.
Ay Ruben I don't think they heard you let's tell 'em again.


3.How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the
sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

5.What Is Sexy

Artist:Ruben Studdard/Fat Joe

Big Boys anthym! 718, 205 come on

What is sexy? Love's in the eye of the beholder
Sex me, Baby we can get closer, freaky
Up in the crib, Come on over, sex me
Your so sexy, What is sexy?

Baby I saw you through my rearview
And you know I'm a big man
They say to know me is to love me
And you love me for who I am
So Imma win some, I lose
But the point is to chose
That one that keeps my happy
And my point of chosing you
Is the fact that you are so sexy, yeah


I've been thinking (girl)
About you (girl)
If this world was mine, then its yours (girl)
But the cribs and the cars and jewels
Imma keep so I can floss with my boys on the weekends
And, I'm not scared of commitment
But the big man, Handles his business
And my business is you and me, coz you are so sexy...


Baby I would do anything (girl)

Yo, When it comes to chicks, Im sick wit it
late night quick in it
or til late when the daylights still in it
yah when I rock, bounce with it ma
Love it when that pretty brown brown get on top
wont go ...but I kiss around it
and I pound that whoo! like the place was surrounded
Listen to me, its the big boys anthym
and I speak like this coz u know that this big boy's handsome
its the high yelling bad boy
U say Cris gotta thing for the fast toys
I aint lyin or flyin with ease
G-4 knockin Alicia Keys

Da da da for the big boys
this is for the big boys (big boys big boys)
this if for the big boys (the big sistas too, know wha I mean?

6.What If

(anywhere you want) girl you know I'll do whatever it takes,
You know I love you like I used to love bay,
Would you be cool if things changed,
If I didnt roll the benz and you didnt push the reign,
I know what we got its gone
Last bay dont be mad but I still gotta ask,
What if I was broke what if I was slim
What if couldnt sing and I didnt win
What if I had to catch the bus I'll still stay
Wit my momma so there aint no making love baby
What if I had to used the payphone jus to get my game on would

Take the keys to my crib (anytime you want)
Jus come over take a dip (anytime you want)
How much you need girl imma front

Long ago and oh so far away

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripple on a stream

So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was meant for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
We know

So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was meant for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
We know

13.Flying Without Wings

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the faces of their children
Some find it in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you find that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find the cheer in every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your lives
And when you know how much that means
You have found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So impossible as they may seem
You've got to find for every dream
'Cuz who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

But for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunlight on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's the little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you smile
And it's the flying without wings
'Cuz you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
You're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy it brings
I'm flying without wings


14.We Have Not Forgotten

Artist:Ruben Studdard/Fred Hammond
