Chapter 1-Love Pain&Forgiveness

Syleena Johnson Chapter 1-Love Pain&Forgiveness Lyrics
1.The Beginning(Intro)

Once upon a time there was a young soul
Filled with fears.
She lacked love in herself which brought many many tears.
Until one day
God sent her the challenge that would change her life.
A man, the fairest of them all, dark and handsome, fit for a
wife.
He brought love to her mind, and he hypnotized her soul.


2.I Am Your Woman

Let's take a minute
And talk about
What turned this home into a house
I don't know what this war's about but
Been through too much
Not to work it out
Now you say you've been lovin' me
Me only baby faithfully
It's might strange when my eyes can see
That you've been cheatin' around on me.

I am your woman (i'm your woman)
Woman (oh yes i am)
Woman (so show some respect and treat me as such)
I am your woman (your woman)
Woman (oh yes i am)
Woman (and all i ask is that you honor this love)
Now i've been dealin' with you
Since sweet 16
Woman enough to let you raise me
You used to call me daddy's ghetto queen
And you still mean the world to me
No sooner than i say no more
I run to you like a corner store

I don't love you enough to hat ya
But yet i love you too much to leave

I am your woman (i guess that make me your)
Woman (oh yes it does)
Woman (you need to show some respect and treat me as such)

I am your woman (oh woman)
Woman (woman)
And all i ever asked is that you honor this love
Now we, boo, hours
When the clock strikes 3
You should be at home in bed with me
Takin' advantage of a real good thing
How long will it take you to see
Sometimes i ask myself are you crazy
To stay here and put up with this pain
You promised me the moon and the stars above but all i seem to
get is rain

(ah woman 2x)
But i'm caught up in your whirlwind
I'm blown away
It's gonna take more than some shoes to get me home
I don't wanna
I don't wanna go now
I'm gonna stay right here and rebuild this house

'cause i am your woman yeah
So show some respect and treat me as such oh yeah, yeah
Yes i am
And all you've gotta do is honor this love oh yeah
I'm your woman
You are my man
Soul 2 soul yeah
Hand in hand
I believe this is heaven's
This is heaven's plan
And when the morning comes
You will be with me
Puttin' your breakfast on the table
Daddy do you have enough to eat
And every day will be a holiday for you and me
'cause i am your woman
Baby love
Just like a diamond ring
We will shine 'til the blind can see
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yes we will
'cause i am your woman (5x)
Until we split up or somethin'
I am your woman (4x)
Ooh.


3.You Said

(featuring liberty city)

(woman)
When i say i do, you say i don't
When i say i will, you say i won't
I wanna keep this love but you show me you don't
What's wrong with you baby, tell me the truth

(man)
I wanna be your man, but right now, i know i can't
It's not that i don't love you, please understand
The situations in my life, they tie up both my hands
I don't wanna lose you baby, i don't wanna confuse you
(woman)you said you would always be near.
So why do you run away, my dear
You said i would never be alone
Tell me the truth, what' going on

(man)
I know i said i'd always be there
But i wouldn't walk away if i didn't care
Things are gonna work out one day
Please believe me, girl, it's better this way
(both) (woman) when i say i do (m)girl, don't take it personal
(w) when i say i will (m) lord knows i've tried. i wanna be your
man
(w) don't take your love away (m) baby, right now i can't
(w) one day, you'll be my baby, and i still love you

(w) what about love baby.
What about responsibility
(m) what about the times we don't agree
(w) baby, love is larger than you and me.


4.Baby I'm So Confused

Baby, baby, baby, i just don't know what to do
I fell in love again, but why, oh, why am i so blue
And darling, darling, it's all because of you
You put a hold on my heart and soul, leaving me so confused

Sweet baby, sweet baby, please have mercy on me
I've never loved anyone quite like this before.
First time you, first time me.

But i need to know, i need to know how long you plan on dragging
me through
So much pain and so much hurt
It's so hard to stand on two feet

'cause it's all, all 'bout what you're doin' to me
So why won't you love me like i need to be
You tell me you love me
Then you show me something else, but i can't blame you
'cause you didn't know how i felt, and i don't know what to do
...
'cause baby, i'm so confused.
Baby, i'm so confused ( i don't know what to do) baby, i'm so
confused.

And baby, baby, baby i don't really wanna bother you (no no no)
But you gotta either make it right, and i mean right now
Or i'm puttin' on my walkin' shoes, yeah.
Ya see i've tried and tried to make you understand, that i'm so
confused.


5.Meanwhile...(Interlude)


6.Everybody Wants Something

You work a good nine to five
And let it control you
Hungry for the piece of the pie you think someone owes you
But you don't try to survive past what you think you know
You say afloat never swim, let the waves take your soul.

Everybody wants something
(but they don't earn it)
But you're not gonna get from me
(from me)
Gotta go for what you know (what you know)
What you get ain't all what you see.

Relationships are up to you to manifest destiny
You fuss and fight all the time, seems like you can't agree
No compromise, everyone thinks they're so damn wise
But i know one thing's for certain
What you do brings everything, while what you say don't mean a
damn thing
What you say don't mean a damn thing, oh, oh.

(2x) what you see ain't always what you get
What you see ain't always what you get
What you see ain't always what you get.


7.You Got Me Spinnin'

I had my head on my shoulders.
I had my feet on the ground.
I had my spirit together yeah.
Until you came around ('til you came around)
So many reasons to doubt you
But i cast them aside (yeah)
I let my hear be the driver
And on the road lost my pride (yeah).

You got me spinnin' around and around
(you got me spinnin')
You got me spinnin' around and around (noooo, na, na, na, nooo,
na na)
Can't get my feet to step on solid ground
You got me spinnin' around.

Even though i still love you (yes i do)
I can't ignore what's inside (ohhhh)
My soul says let it on go
And let this one pass you by
Ohhh you got me spinnin' spinnin'

Going in circles.
I'm spinnin' around and around so fast
But i love you
I still love you
Going down this road
This never ending path
Why do i love you
Why why do i love you
Been here before
Can't take no more
Now i got to go
Walk through that door
Can't keep my feet on solid ground
You got me spinnin' around.

You got me spinnin' around and around (you got me spinnin').
You got me spinnin' around (say it again now)
Can't get me feet to step on solid ground
You got me spinnin' around.

Why must you this thing to me
That you do
You got me spinnin'
You got me so confused
You got em so confused
You got to let me go
You got to set me free.
Oh leave me be 'cause i can't take it
I can't take it.


8.Hit On Me

Just because you put a ring on my finer
Just because you put some clothes on my back.
Just because you gave me money for december
Doesn't mean that i have to pay you back.

You were my husband
You were supposed to do the things you chose to do
I loved you 'til the end
And i'd rather die before i let my kids see.
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
Every night i'd cry hopin' that they'd never see
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
How come you hit on me?

I made believe that it really didn't hurt me
Made believe that i only hurt myself
I believed you every time you said i'm sorry
Was too ashamed to tell someone i needed help.

(2x) you don't know how you destroy my life.
I thought i was supposed to be your wife
And i can't even try to understand
What you think it takes to be a man.
Why'd you do it
Why why why
Why why why
What about my children
What about the babies
What about the family
You're supposed to be a husband
You know nothing good gone come to you
I'm so tired, i'm so tired
I'm so weary, i'm so weary
Can't believe you did this to me
Can't take it no more
Can't take it no more.


9.And. Then...(Interlude)


10.He's Gonna Do You In

(featuring buddy guy)

I knew a man, his name was lynn
He had a sweet voice, he drove a rolls royce
He wanted inside me, i said no; let's be friends
He waited for a while, he like the challenge.
But when it was over, when he didn't win
He found a warm place inside of my friend
He found a warm place inside of my friend
He found a warm place inside of my friend.

He's gonna do you in, child, he's gonna do you in.
He's gonna do you in, child, he's gonna do you in
When the night is over, and the morning begins
He won't even know your name, girl.

I knew a boy, his name was troy
He was a young thing, acted so strangely
He wanted inside me, but i wouldn't give in
He tried to play it cool, thought i would give it up soon
But when it was over, when he didn't win
He found a warm place behind another man
He found a warm place behind another man
He found a warm place behind another man.

I said you gotta be careful
You just don't know who's who anymore
Once you think you know someone, you find out he's somebody else
You gotta watch people nowadays
They say they'll be there for you 'til the end
But they really got plans to do you in.
Yes, they do, they've got a motive.
They're plotting on you, they're plotting on you
Yes, they do, take it from me, i know.


11.You Ain't Right

Lonely nights followed by absent day
You found it so hard to be with me
My mind tells me you've got evil ways
But my heart's fell in love so easily.

And i can't find the strength to tell you we're through
And i can't find the hate to fool around on you
I know there's something else that you've been holding on to.
But, baby, when i'm gone what you gonna do?

You know you ain't right, staying out all night
Smoking with you friends, ain't never got no ends
You know you ain't right, things just ain't the same
When you're with mary jane, is she the one to blame?

Love with you don't happen no more
You can't even hardly get it up
If you don't want me, then what are you here for?
Do what you gotta do, just don't lie to me no more.

You know you ain't right, staying out all night
Smoking with you friends, ain't never got no ends
You know you ain't right, things just ain't the same
When you're with mary jane, is she the one to blame?

You know you ain't right, staying out all night
Smoking with your friends, ain't never got no ends
You know you ain't right, can't look me eye to eye
When you're with chocolat 'ti, your ass is always high.

When will you hold me again
It's got to be me or your friend
If i was a dealer, then would i win back all the love that we
had from way back when.

You know you ain't right, staying out all night
Smoking with you friends, ain't never got no ends
You know you ain't right, things just ain't the same
When you're with mary jane, is she the one to blame?


12.Ain't No Love

I don't know what you've been told, baby
But, there's definitely something wrong with you.
This s**t is getting kinda old baby, staying out all night and
acting like a fool.

You don't come home at night.
All we do is fuss and fight.
Steadily, hangin' with the boys
When i'm the only one employed
Can't buy me diamond rings.
Can't buy a damn thing
Pager beeping nine one one
I thought i was the only one.

Ain't no love, ain't no joy
Ain't no times left to enjoy
Ain't no love, ain't even no lust
Ain't no kindness baby, ain't no trust.

Lately, you been kinda bold, darlin'
Getting pages and calls all night through
I guess it's time for me to fold darlin'
'cause there's nothing left to hold on to
Ain't no love.

Ain't no love, ain't no joy.
Ain't no times left to enjoy
Ain't no love, ain't no lust
Ain't no kindness, ain't no trust.

(2x) through all the pain that you caused me i was there, i was
there.
Through all the times, that you didn't see, i was there, i was
there.
Through all the gambling debts you had, i was there, i was there
Now i'm gone and it's too bad
I was there, i was there.


13.One Day


14.I'd Rather Be Wrong

Waking up in the morning with a smile on my face
'cause i'm happy to be right next to you.
Thinking about the way you talk and the things you say
Make me stay so damned addicted to you
And i can't let go of your money and your time
And when touch me in my places, you send chills right down my
spine.
I want you to know that you got me hypnotized
And i'll always be right by your side
You got my body, soul, and mind.
If loving you is wrong baby
Then i'd rather be wrong, baby
'cause i, i can't live without you
If loving you is wrong baby
Then, i'd rather be wrong, baby
'cause i, i ain't right without you.

Friends say that we won't last but, i know that ain't so
'cause they, they don't see how you love me
They judge me off the loves i had in the past, but his love's
good to go
And you make me so dam happy.

They don't know, what it is to have everything
When you never had anything to show for
Since you brought me out of all my misery
I never had a man to love me like you do, it's do damn true
And if loving you is wrong
Then to hell with what the right folks do
(i don't wanna be right)
I don't care if i'm wrong.

(2x) if loving you is wrong baby
Then i'd rather be wrong, baby
'cause i, i can't live without you
If loving you is wrong baby
Then, i'd rather be wrong, baby
'cause i, i ain't right without you.


15.All Of Me

You give me love and no limits
You fill me up when i need it
You bring me joy, show me peace, bring the best out me
Pick me up when i fall, stand beside me.
You make me happy, you se me free
You take the lonely out of me
I'm in true love, finally
And it's so fine, it's so fine.

When you do what you do, you pull through everything i need
And it's you that i see in my life, you're the air i breathe.
When you do what you do, i can fly across the widest seas
So just do what you do, 'cause it's true that you're all of me
You're all of me, all of me
All of me, all of me.

You make me whole when i'm broken
And when i'm closed, you stay open
Now i see what you mean when you say you're here to stay
'cause you love constantly
And i thank you.

You make me happy, you se me free
You take the lonely out of me
I'm in true love, finally
And it's so fine, it's so fine.

When you do what you do, you pull through everything i need
And it's you that i see in my life, you're the air i breathe.
When you do what you do, i can fly across the widest seas
So just do what you do, 'cause it's true that you're all of me
You're all of me, all of me
All of me, all of me.


16.The End(Outro)

And so the soul was saved
And her heart is in the healing process
Living happily every after in the land of love, pain, &
forgiveness.
