Long Time Coming

Wayne Brady Long Time Coming Lyrics
1.Ordinary

Lyricist:Jamie Jones, Jack David Kugell, Sarah Nagourney, Jason
Reginald Pennock, Welford Walton Ii

All of our friends keep saying we should be more social
'Cause we keep to ourselves most of the time
They just don't understand what we've got going on
'Cause a love like this is so hard to find

Don't wanna live by no one else's designs
Though every day ain't glamorous, to me it's just fine
Unperfect the way that we are

Nothing ordinary 'bout the way I feel
Nothing un-extraordinary this is real
Don't need to reach for the stars
Happy here on earth in our beautiful ordinary life
I love my beautiful ordinary life with you

Why don't we spend the day, doing a lot of nothing?
'Cause anything's alright long as I'm with you, baby
We don't need special plans, don't need no reservations
'Cause my favorite place is right here with you

Don't wanna live my life any other way
'Cause baby, it's the simple things that can't be replaced
Unperfect the way that we are

Nothing ordinary 'bout the way I feel
Nothing un-extraordinary this is real
Don't need to reach for the stars
Happy here on earth in our beautiful ordinary life
I love my beautiful ordinary life with you

Like watching you sleep
The way that your paint your toes
The crazy way we, count to three before
We hang up the phone
See the life that I live, is so much better
Girl, when you're here with me
Nothing, nothing

Nothing ordinary 'bout the way I feel
Nothing un-extraordinary this is real
Don't need to reach for the stars
Happy here on earth in our beautiful ordinary life
I love my beautiful ordinary life
I love my beautiful ordinary life with you


2.FWB

Honey, Listen
There's something we've been missing
But I'm worried that this just might cross the line
See we're laughin'
You touch me
And I feel it go right through me
This chemistry's drivin me out my mind
Listen Baby

I-I-I, I'm just so attracted baby
And there's all the ways of mating between you and I
Oohhh
Toni-i-i-ght, girl let's go and see what happens
Cuz I'm tired of imaginin what lovin you feels like
Oooh

Ooh,
Whatever you need
Baby I can be
And I got no strings to complicate things darlin'
Can't you see?
Both of us are grown
Got needs of our own
Baby, Let's be F W B

Let's be lovers, friends and confidants
Cuz you're all the woman I could want
Don't nobody need to know
We're friends with benefits

Listen, Mama
We both don't want no drama
You could still do your thing and I'll do mine
Oooh
When it hits you, that feeling
And you need some sexual healing
Just call me girl and I'll be right on time
Cuz

I-I-I, I'm just so attracted baby
And there's all the ways of maybe between you and I
Oohhh
Toni-i-i-ght, girl let's go and see what happens
Cuz I'm tired of imaginin what lovin you feels like

Girl, you've always been my best friend
Cuz you know me, and I know you
This is a natural progression
And girl this don't have to mean nothing
Unless you want it, and I want it
So please don't keep me guessing, noooo

Let's be lovers, friends and confidants
Cuz you're all the woman I could want
Don't nobody need to know
We're friends with benefits


3.Can't Buy Me Love

Lyricist:John Lennon, Paul Mccartney

Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, buy me love

Listen
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything, my friend
If it makes you feel alright

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I don't care too much for money
â~Cause money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Buy me love, buy me love
Money can't buy me

You say you don't want them diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy

I may not have a lot to gift
But what I've got I'll gift to you
I don't care too much for money
â~Cause money can't buy you love

Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, money can't buy me love

Buy me love, buy me love, buy me love
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Can't buy me love


4.Back In The Day

Lyricist:Wayne Brady, Jamie Jones, Jack David Kugell

See this song ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
You know who you are, hey baby
I'ma take you back to the 80's, check this out

This beat makes me reminisce
Takes me back to our first kiss
Carved our names on a big oak tree
I heart you and you heart me

New edition on the radio, I had a Commodore 64
We use to sit close on my bedroom floor
But mama never let us close the door

We used to hang outside until the lights came on
Thought I was fresh to death with my Adidas on
You'd kiss me on the cheek, I had a silly smile on
Where has the time gone?

I loved you since Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats, ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a Jheri curl, mama said no
That's how long I've loved you

Remember when I used to have a high top fade?
Back when you use to rock a dookie braid
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I loved you since back in the day

Everyday after school I'd pop, you'd lock, we'd act a fool
I was at your house, you was at mine
Cosby Show at 8, Different World at 9

Motown 25, Michael moon walked for the very first time
Meet you at the rink on Friday night
We'd rock, we'd skate, hold hands real tight

Girl, you would look so cute with your Jordache on
Bet that you could still put those same jeans on
Kiss me now and I'll have that silly smile on
Girl you still turn me on and on and on, on, on

I loved you since Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats, ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a Jheri curl, mama said no
I loved you way back in the day

Remember when I use to have a high top fade?
Back when you use to rock a dookie braid
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I loved you since back in the day

Now everybody you know how we use to do
In the parties back in the day
You know how we use to do, stand right here
I'mma stand right here
We all get in a line and we all be like

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you
Without an old school jam to step to
Remember when we'd do the Whop
The whole crowd drop, do the Robo Cop

Go girl do the Cabbage Patch
Jam Master J killing on the scratch
Members only, Kid 'n' Play
That's how we did it back in the day

I loved you since Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats, ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a Jheri curl, mama said no
That's how long I've loved you

Remember when I use to have a high top fade?
Back when you use to rock a dookie braid
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I loved you since back in the day

I loved you since Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats, ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a Jheri curl, mama said no
That's how long I've loved you

Remember when I use to have a high top fade?
Back when you use to rock a dookie braid
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I loved you since back in the day

Party, there's a party over here
Party, there's a party over there
Party, there's a party over here

Party, there's a party over here
Party, there's a party right there
Party, there's a party right here


5.Sweetest Berry

Lyricist:David Ryan Harris, Jamey Jaz

You possess a beauty deep within
That soothes me when I'm around you
Your skin is butterscotch on porcelain
My sweet tooth's glad I found you

Now I am in search of words to sing
A melody fit for a queen
As sweet as what I'm feelin' in my heart

Like sugar on the hot black berry
Different than the ordinary
You're the sweetest berry on the vine
Like cherries deep in melted chocolate
Caramel with whipped cream toppin'
You're the sweetest berry on the vine

Never had I seen a perfect face
Till my eyes fell upon you
And never had I felt true love's embrace
Until the day I held you
Now I am in search of words to sing
A melody fit for a queen
As sweet as what I'm feelin' in my heart

Like sugar on the hot black berry
Different than the ordinary
You're the sweetest berry on the vine, vine
Like cherries deep in melted chocolate
Caramel with whipped cream toppin'
You're the sweetest berry on the vine

And when I think of how I wanna live my life
I think of how I am when I am with you
â~Cause you're the sweetest berry on the vine

Like sugar on the hot black berry
Different than the ordinary
Now you're the sweetest berry on the vine
Like cherries deep in melted chocolate
Caramel with whipped cream toppin'
And you're the sweetest berry on the vine

Like sugar on the hot black berry
Different than the ordinary
Now you're the sweetest berry on the vine
Like cherries deep in melted chocolate
Caramel with whipped cream toppin'
You're the sweetest berry on the vine

Like sugar on the hot black berry
Different than the ordinary
You're the sweetest berry on the vine
Like cherries deep in melted chocolate
Caramel with whipped cream toppin'
You're the sweetest berry on the vine

7.I Ain't Movin'

Lyricist:Wayne Brady, Jamie Jones, Jack David Kugell, D'myreo
Mitchell, Jason Reginald Pennock

We've been there, done that, flew high, fell flat
Love kept us ridin' on this roller coaster
There's no mystery, we got history
So right here with me that's where you supposed to be

As long as I'm breathing there's a chance
Call me hard headed, just stubborn, plain stupid
But I believe in this romance

Let the days change, times go by
Other girls, other guys
I'm still here, there's no surprise
I ain't movin'

Played around, had my fun
Girl I know that you're the one
Deeply rooted 'cause we're suited
I ain't movin'

I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'
I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'

That dudes into you, I'm sure that he's cool
I've got no problem with that brother
This connection undiminished
Girl we've got unfinished business
So go tell that cat to find himself another

As long as I'm breathing there's a chance
Call me love struck, sensitive, maybe I'm just plain whipped
But I believe in this here romance

Let the days change, times goes by
Other girls, other guys
I'm still here, there's no surprise
I ain't movin'

Played around, had my fun
Girl I know that you're the one
Deeply rooted 'cause we're suited
I ain't movin'

I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'
I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'

See baby, I know you think you know me
But I guarantee you that I'm a changed man
So I come to you on bended knee
I'm ready to take your hand

Now I'm telling you
That neither wind, sleet, snow, rain, hail, earthquake
I am not leaving you
Trust me, I'm not moving

Let the days change, time goes by
Other girls, other guys
I'm still here, there's no surprise
I ain't movin'

Played around, had my fun
Girl I know that you're the one
Deeply rooted 'cause we're suited
I ain't movin'

Let the days change, times go by
Other girls, other guys
I'm still here, there's no surprise
I ain't movin'

Played around, had my fun
Girl I know that you're the one
Deeply rooted 'cause we're suited
I ain't movin'

I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'
I I I, I I I, I I I, I ain't movin'
I ain't movin'


8.Make Heaven Wait

Lyricist:David Arthur Garcia, Jamie Jones, Martin Kember, Jack David
Kugell, Jason Reginald Pennock

I see you smilin' every day
Looking back at me like nothin' ever changed
I swear I heard you call my name
But in reality it's just your picture in a frame

Why am I here without you?
When there was so much left for us to do
How could the angels come so soon?

If I could make heaven wait
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
Made some mistake
If He'd save your wings for another day
If only I could make heaven wait

All your clothes are hanging up
Not a thing's been touched, I left it all the same
I wish that I could press rewind and go back in time
Just to see your face again

â~Cause I miss you, I need you
I'm so alone without you here with me
You were the reason that I breathe

If I could make heaven wait
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
Made some mistake
If He'd save your wings for another day
If only I could make heaven wait

Every night I search for your star in the sky
All those I would trade in my life
For a chance to say goodbye

Make heaven wait, make heaven wait
Make heaven wait

Make heaven wait
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
Made some mistake
If He'd save your wings for another day

If I could make heaven wait
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
Made some mistake
If He'd save your wings for another day

If only I could make heaven wait
If I could, if I could make heaven wait


9.All Naturally

Lyricist:Jamie Jones, Jack David Kugell, Jason Reginald Pennock

Baby, you look so good just like that
Now take off that makeup
Let me see your face
Look at you

Love to see you in the mornin' right as you're wakin' up
Sure the last thing on your mind is just how good you look
You never have to try hard, you're beauty's way off the charts
Wakin' up with you still takes my breath away

'Cause it's so amazing girl to be with someone like you
Outside you're stunning, just as deep on the inside too
Even in tennis shoes and jeans always look so hot to me
So baby listen carefully

You don't have to wear lipstick
To make me want to come taste your kisses
And you don't have to get your hair did
And I still wanna run my finger all through it

And you don't have to get your nails done
With your girlfriends at the corner store
It's not gonna make you anymore beautiful
You don't have to wear lingerie just to impress me
'Cause I love you all naturally

Every time you and I go out the fellas just stop and stare
And I know they see me but you're so fine they just don't care
I never get too upset 'cause girl I know who you with
Matter fact it validates the way I feel

You always think if you're not made up no one will look
But girl you could put makeup out of business for good
'Cause on a scale of 1 to 10 you're about a 1 million
So mama pay close attention

You don't have to wear lipstick
To make me want to come taste your kisses
And you don't have to get your hair did
And I still wanna run my finger all through it

And you don't have to get your nails done
With your girlfriends at the corner store
It's not gonna make you anymore beautiful
You don't have to wear lingerie just to impress me
'Cause I love you all naturally, naturally

I want you girl so naturally
I want you girl so naturally
I want you girl so naturally
I want you girl so, sing it again

I want you girl so naturally
I want you girl so naturally
I want you girl so naturally

You don't have to wear lipstick
To make me want to come taste your kisses
And you don't have to get your hair did
I still wanna run my finger all through it

And you don't have to get your nails done
With your girlfriends at the corner store
It's not gonna make you anymore beautiful
You don't have to wear lingerie just to impress me
'Cause I love you all naturally, naturally


10.All I Do

Lyricist:Morris Broadnax, Clarence Paul, Stevie Wonder

You made my soul a burnin' fire
You're gettin' to be my one desire
You're gettin' to be all that matters to me
But let me tell you, let me tell you, girl

I hope and pray each day I live
A little more love I'll have to give
A little more love that's devoted and true
â~Cause all I do is think about you

All I do is think about you
And all I do is think about you

Maybe just suppose I should
Happen to cross your mind
By some chance a boy like me
You've really been tryin' to find

Oh, let me tell you, girl
Think how exciting it would be, huh
If you should discover you feel like me
If you should discover this dream is for two

Oh, let me tell you, girl
I'd light a candle everyday
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new
â~Cause all I do is think about you

All I do is think about you
All I do is think about you

I'm gonna tell you, girl
I'd light a candle everyday
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new

Oh, I'm gonna tell you, girl
If I can't have you for my own
I'd rather be lonely and all alone
I'd rather keep thinkin' the way that I do
â~Cause, girl, all I do is think about you

All I do is think about you
All I do is think about you
All I do is think about you
All I do is think about you

Day and night, baby
Thinkin' â~bout you, baby
I'm thinkin' â~bout you
Only â~cause I'm just thinkin' about you

Hey, just thinkin' about you
All I do is think about you
I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin'


11.Beautiful Ugly

Lyricist:Jamie Jones, Stephen Kipner, Jack David Kugell, Lamont
Neuble, Jason Reginald Pennock

Ooh, listen

Sittin' here on this porch, on this winter's night
And we just got into another bad fight
(You said you don't need me anymore)

So what am I supposed to do, hearin' somethin' like this?
I'll do what any man would do, pack my things and split
But before I go, tell me one thing

How could someone so beautiful
Be so ugly, so deceitful?
Why would someone who looks as good as you
Use your pretty face as an evil tool and think that's cool?

Ask any man with eyes and he'll tell you the same
Your beauty's uncompromised but your attitude ain't
(You're like candy with poison inside)
Tastes so sweet but you're cyanide

So what am I supposed to do? I just lost the love of my life
I guess, I'll take back this ring before it's on eBay tonight
But before I go tell me one thing

How could someone so beautiful
Be so ugly, so deceitful?
Why would someone who looks as good as you
Use your pretty face as an evil tool and think that's cool?

Lovers get mad, say hurtful things sometimes
But they usually take it back
(With make up love that night)
But you ain't tryin' to make up nothin' with that look in your
eyes

How could someone, so beautiful
Be so ugly, so deceitful?
Why would someone who looks as good as you
Use your pretty face as an evil tool and think that's cool?

How could someone, so beautiful
Be so ugly, so deceitful?
Why would someone who looks as good as you
Use your pretty face as an evil tool and think that's cool?

Ooh, that ain't cool, baby
(Tell me, baby, watchu doin'?)
Feelin' cool, no, no
No, baby, cool


12.You And Me

Lyricist:Wayne Brady, Jamie Jones, Jason Reginald Pennock

The lawyer's talkin', I can't hear
Thinkin' back when did we go wrong?
Can't make the past just disappear
We've got this baby, let's be strong

And I know we'll move on with our lives
But I know that we'll be just fine

â~Cause she's got your eyes
And that crooked smile of mine
So there'll always be you and I
And though things have changed
One thing remains the same
We'll still be a family
Even if there's no you and me

And baby's askin' everyday
Daddy, when you gonna come home?
And it breaks my heart to say
Mom and dad is movin' on

But she'll know we're both in her life
And our family will be just fine

â~Cause she's got your eyes
And that crooked smile of mine
So there'll always be you and I
And though things have changed
One thing remains the same
We'll still be a family
Even if there's no you and me

Till death do us part, that was the vow
Oh, but look at us now
Whatever may come
Just look what we've done

She's got your eyes
That crooked smile of mine
So there'll always be you and I
And though things have changed
One thing remains the same
We'll still be a family
Even if there's no you and me

We'll still be, be a family
