1. I'M YOUR LIFE



I got a way in finding all the wrong place to go
Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right time
That's I do so bad at life, if you need a friend to show you already know
If you got a lot of time to blow, I got the rest of the night
I suck at doing anything right I'm right ever
whatever you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Take a champagne glass to the rest of me
I know I make you so happy,..
But I'm the only life you got, ask the Lord
that he saved my soul some day
If God will come around my way, imagine if I pray,
I really don't wanna be this way,
but I'm not ever whatever
you don't wanna have to depend on someone to lean on

And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life

Is that what... you can't do a body
You gotta live with it you can't live without it
I'm trying to change I'm so sorry...
I'm not your friend, I'm your life
I'm not ever whatever you don't wanna have to depend
on someone to lean on
And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more
I'm right in time and I'm not your friend
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, yeah
I'm your life, oh oh, whatever whatever you don't want,
I can't be your friend my friend
Whatever, whatever, I'm not your friend, I'm just your life,
I'm your life.

2. LOVE IS YOU



[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Stephens, John Roger;]

What's your definition of it?
How's it make you feel?
Tell me what'd you say that truly makes it real
Kings and queens, philosophers have tried so hard to find
Tell me what it means to you, dear, never mind

Love is kind when the world is cold
Love stays strong when the fight gets old
Love is a shoulder to lean on, love is you

Love's like the water when the well runs dry
Quench my thirst, keep me alive
Just need one sip, baby, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you

Is it possible there's a kiss that's so divine?
Or am I just too fool? Is it all in my mind?
Is there something chemical? A scientist might say
Well, love must be drug to make me feel this way

'Cause love is my permission to be who I am
Knowing the business 'cause you understand
Freedom to breathe, oh baby, love is you

Love's like a kiss when the sun goes down
Holds me tight when no one's around
Love's what I wanna hold on to, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you

Love is kind, it makes me stronger
I don't have to look no longer
You're the one I'd cling to, love is you

When the chips are down
Love will stick around
I'm so glad I found, love is you

Masters have tried to clarify
Love's quite simple, it's just my guide
A perfect definition
Love is you, love is you, love is you, love is you, is you

3. IN THIS FOR YOU




Come over my man's crib
candles by the moonlit windows
Barry on the CD
Lavender and Rose leaves
Dinner by the fireplace
Cajun Salmon my baby made it
I love when my baby's with me
I'm so glad he loves me
Money comes and money goes
Baby chases money like it's going outta style
Is the paper chase worth while?

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost, we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

Call me from the office babe
work is crazy, sleepless nights
I wish you were here by my side
I want you more than money
took a day off from the game
took me to the movies, dinner
not like when I'm with my winner
I love it when you're with me
Holdin close to teddy bear

nights without you feel so lonely
wishin you was here to hold me
love means more than money

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost, we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

Nothing compares to how you hold me (nothing compares to you)
Nothing compares to how you love me, Oh baby (nothing compares to you)
It's you I need, No not the dough oh! (it's you I need oh)

You makin money, keepin me comfy
I wish you could see you are all I need

I just need my guy, lost we're side by side
mountains we can climb
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you
take a train or drive, we don't need no ride
Flashy ain't my style
That's what it is babe, I'm in this for you

4. FOREVER MINE

One look in your gentle eyes
Let me know I would spend my life
All my years in your gentle arms
All my days with your love so warm
One sound of your precious voice
Let me know that I had no choice
I knew I'd be forever yours

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you}

I love you like the king you are
I love you like the sky loves stars
I love you like the grass loves green
I love you the way you love me
Never a day I thought I'd see
The way true love would be
I know I'll be forever yours

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine

Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you yes I do}

I love you and I need you
I adore you
Your so sweet
I'm here and you'll be there for it
Forever you and me

[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{There are only three words I will say}

All of my life
I will love you
Oh I promise
I will need you
All of my, all of my life
Yeah
All of my life I will spend my life with the one
Who I love
I love you and I need you yes
All of my life

5. IS THIS THE WAY LOVE FEELS


[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Wooten, Kelvin;]

What's the feeling that I get
Every single time I look deep into your eyes?
What's the tingle that I feel
At the touch of your hand up and down my spine?

What's so funny, is my belly tryna tell me
Something feels like butterflies?
What's the feeling, what's the tingle, what's the tinkle
What's the world got for you and I?

(And I swear it's real)
Yes, it is, can't nobody ever tell me otherwise
(And I swear I feel)
No, I can't deny what I'm feeling inside

Is this the way love feels?
Have I found it for real?
What will time reveal?
Is this the way love feels?

Every time I hear your voice
Well, it seems I have no choice but to be amazed
It's like music to my hears
How I really love to hear everything you say

Does love really have a way of speaking
In a very odd conventional way?
What's a voice, what's a touch
Tell me is it really love, does it feel this way?

(And I swear it's real)
Yes, it is, can't nobody ever tell me otherwise
(And I swear I feel)

No, I can't deny what I'm feeling inside

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Have I found it for real?
(Oh, oh, for real)

What will time reveal?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Oh, I always knew love would take hold of me soon
But I never knew just how deep
I never knew just how sweet this love would be
It looks like I have got my eye on something real
So real, so real just between you and me

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Have I found it for real?
(Oh, oh, for real)

What will time reveal?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, the way it feels)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh, for real)

Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh, reveal)
Is this the way love feels?
(Oh, oh)

Is this the way love feels?
Is this the way love feels?

6. BEST OF ME



Saw you again at the parlor
Crossing the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar off
I know that she wore a ring

I found a smile against my will
Wish it was genuine
I put away my desire
No more "in love with you still"

Look I'm moving on, oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Can't be the time to be begging
Can't be the time to plead
My momma made me much wiser
What's mine will be just for me

I'm trying hard just to focus
I'm trying hard to sleep
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When its my time it will be

Look I'm moving on, oh oh oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh my why have I been just so foolish all this time
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess its time to find the best of me

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh oh oh
The best of me

7. ANOTHER ONE



I'm Done, Done, Done

[Verse 1]
Riddle me this, When you be wit yo friends, laughing and joking and loud talking
Why you get quiet soon as I walk in the room?
Riddle me this, You be going out wit yours, but expect me to stay in doors
You don't ever want me to hang out wit my crew

Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman things
So if you're gonna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (on to another one)

[Verse 2]
Cause I don't play games, ya friends come around you don't act the same
Kissing and hugging then suddenly I'm bugging you (suddenly I'm bugging you)
Well baby that ain't cool, cause I all do, is stay catering to you boy
But you don't wanna treat me like you supposed too


Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman thangs (grown woman thangs)
So if you wanna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

[Bridge]
No more, fooling with you, with you (No more)
I've realized I've got better things to do
Like on to another one...

Oh oh oh ohhohh ohhhhh ohhhh

[Chorus]
Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

I'm bout to be on to another one, I'm done done done
I'm done done done

8. LIKE A DREAM

[Songwriters: Payne, Chrisette Michele; Jazz, Mo;]

I seen his brother at The Cloud
Looking next to Fly
His sticks was pounding on the drums
When I caught his eye
You know, my gosh, he looked at me

And he smiled at me
And he played to me
And I imagined that he spoke to me

Later on I found his friend
I said, "Do you know that guy?"
He said, "Hold, girl, well, sure I do"
And to my surprise
He's been saying, "Who's that girl?"

And he's feeling you
And he thinks you're cute
And he wants to try and talk to you

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I would have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me

Through the crowd I'd seen a hand
Reaching out to me
I took a chance and took a grab
These hands were soft and sweet
I told him he was beautiful

And he played real sweet
And he smiled at me
And it was so real when he spoke to me

I put his digits in my phone
And I promise I'd call
Ran outside and told my girls
I spoke to drummer boy
I smiled the whole way to the crib

He was feeling me
And he spoke to me
I can't believe he spoke to me

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I would have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me

Oh, my gosh, can you believe it's true?
Mr. Drummer Boy spoke to me, yes, it's true
Maybe soon, he will call me his girl
And I'll call him my boy, you know
He could play the drums for my shows

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I said, I'd have never known
I would have never known

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me, yeah

It's like a, a dream to me
I would have never known
I would have never known
It's like a dream to me
A dream, it's like a dream to me

It's like a dream to me
It's like a dream to me
(Dream to me)
I said, I'd have never known
I would have never known

And it's like a dream to me
It's like a dream

9. SO IN LOVE



[Rick Ross:]
Love is a powerful word
And you've been on my mind so much, lately
How can I say this?

I'm always late to diner days
Looking in her face
Marathon love making but she win a race
I live a certain life
It's hard for me to feel them safe
Toni Montana money quit the guard, at the gate.
Greeks and guards on the lawn, own the estate
Versace couches, sandals, candles, and matching plates
This picture is better than Boccia's greatest endeavor
I'm kissing shorty in the rain but I'm making her wetter.

[Chrisette:]
It beats every single time that I see your cell number showing up on my phone...
It beats every single time that you're near me,
I'm not ready yet, just leave me alone...
I feel deep in my veins, trying to say it's ok
But I ain't ready to go...
Without my permission my heart is all on a mission
It's got a mind of it's own

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my
I'm so in love
(And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so
So in love

[Chrisette:]
Pitta, pitta, padda, padda,
Everything is scatta scatta
Something is the matter with me.
Boom like a radio

Loud like a stereo
This is how my heart beats
It's like a broke record, but I can't eject it feels like it's on repeat.
I got a confession
Love is my new obsession
My heart's talking to me
She said: boom boom boom

[Bridge:]
I say no and my heart just goes wit it
No control, so I'm trying flow wit it
I'm so gone and it shouldn't have told me
Never should have told my heart

[Chorus:]
I'm so...
So in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

[Rick Ross:]
I'm chilling court side, Jordan six rings.
You know we court side till we get our 6 rings.
We both on common ground, it ain't a big thing,
But when we come around they make it a big thing.
Still on the block in that drop chicken box,
They asking "what that is?" "is that a different watch?"
When I'm stunt mode, I gotta let the city watch.
Or it's the clear pore jet to a chillin spot.

[Chorus]
I'm so...
I'm so in love
Never should have told my heart
I'm so sooo in love
And my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying)
Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom)
I never should oh told my heart
I'm so...
So in love

I'm so in love [repeats to the end]

Tell me why I'm living? some days my words seem so in vain.

1. STAND UP FOR LOVE

[Songwriters: Foster-Gillies, Amy S; Foster, David;]

There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such troubled times
And every child that reaches out for someone to hold
For one moment they become my own
And how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on
When every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness or giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and hear me sing
Stand up for love

I'm inspired and hopeful each and every day
That's how I know that things are gonna change
So how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on

When every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness of giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for love

And it all starts right here and it starts right now
One person stand up there and the rest will follow
For all the forgotten, for all the unloved
I'm gonna sing this song

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness of giving up of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and sing
Stand up for love

For love
For love

3. GIRL



[Song writers: Knowles, Beyonce; Beyince, Angela; Robinson, Eddie; Davis, Don; Rowland, Kelendria; Williams, Michelle; Douthit, Patrick; Garrett, Sean;]

Take a minute girl, come sit down
And tell us what's been happening
In your face I can see the pain
Don't you try to convince us that you're happy

We've seen this all before
But he's taking advantage of the passion
Because we've come too far for you to feel alone
You don't let him walk over your heart, I'm telling you

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

See, what y'all don't know about him
Is I can't let him go because he needs me
It ain't really him, it's stress from his job
And I ain't making it easy

I know you see him bugging most of the time
But I know deep inside, he don't mean it
It gets hard sometimes but I need my man
I don't think y'all understand, I'm telling ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
(We understand, don't be ashamed of your friend)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
( I can tell he's been lying to you)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you
(He's not good for you)

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
(Oh girl, I can tell you been crying)

And you needing somebody to talk to
(I can see it in your eyes)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
(I can tell he?s been lying)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you
(I can see it in you)

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
(I know what your feeling girl)
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, take a good look at yourself
He got you going through hell
We ain't never seen ya down like this
What you mean, you don't need us to help
We known each other too well
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girl
And don't you know we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
(I been knowin' you since you was ten
You cannot hide from your friends, girl)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Girl, you don't have to be hiding
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love ya

4. LOSE MY BREATH


[Chorus]
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me Hard, make me lose my breath (Hah Hah)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me Hard, make me lose my breath (Hah Hah)

[Beyonce]
OOOh
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
Now you wanna act like ya don't know what to do
After I done everything that you asked me
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
Moved so fast baby now I can't find you

OOOh
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like it can't come through
All them lies like you could satisfy me,
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel, but you can't drive me

[Chorus]

[Kelly]
OOOh
Two things I don't like when I tryin' to get my groove

Is a partna that meets me only half way and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
To put it on me deep in the right direction

OOOh
You understand the facts that I'm tryin' to give to you
You movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
I know the difference of a man and an adolescent
It ain't you boo, so get to steppin'

[Chorus x2]

[Michelle@kelly hook]
If you can't make me say OOO
Like the beat of this drum
Why you ask for some and you really want none
If you can't make me say OOO
Like the beat of this groove

[All]
You don't have no business in this here's your papers
Baby you are dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed

[Chorus x2]

5. BUG-A-BOO


[Songwriters: Briggs, Kevin; Parker, Lawrence; Buruss, Kandi; Knowles, Beyonce; Luckett, Le Toya; Roberson, La Tavia; Rowland, Kelendria;]

(Everybody on the floor)
East Side
(Everybody on the floor)
South Side
(Everybody on the floor)
North Side
(Everybody on the floor)
West Side
(Everybody on the floor)

We told you we was gonna give it to you raw
(Everybody on the floor)
We ain't do it right the first time
(Everybody on the floor)
We gonna do it right the second time
(Everybody on the floor)

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my E-mails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Come on, come on, come on
Yo who's buggin' who? Destiny is comin' through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder 'bout to hit y'all with the new groove

It's not hot that you be callin' me
Stressin' me, pagin' my beeper
You're just non stop and it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages every 10 minutes

And then you stop by, when I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cuz 20 minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

So what, you're talkin' 'bout your "Feeling you's"
So what, never told you to buy me shoes
So what, now you're rolling with an attitude
Plus the word on the streets is you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Come on, come on, come on
Yo who's buggin' who? Destiny is comin' through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder 'bout to hit y'all with the new groove

It's not hot that when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot that I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down

You need to chill out with that mess
'Cuz you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cuz every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

So what? Ain't even like I knew you
So what? Tell your peoples I ain't feelin' you
So what? Don't call me I'll call you
'Cuz cupid ain't shoot me, he shot you

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Yo, Clef
What up? What up?
We ain't heard from you in a while
So break it down for the cheerin', Latin style

Destiny's Child remade numero uno
You wanna hate me now like Nas
'Cuz you dos, tres, quartro
Thugs still in the dance

Ain't no need to bust you're AK
We all can get along or we can do it Carlito's Way
'Cuz even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, got the Lord present, standin' Eagle

Way before birth I had this whole book memorized
I roll with murderers that just got baptized
I be allowed to see through the eyes of Zion
The New Jerusalem so sing the hook and stop buggin'

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cuz you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
'Cuz you a bug a boo
You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who?
You're buggin' me and don't you see it ain't cool

Hey, yo
It's the Refugee Camp

So prove yourself to me and the girl that your playin'
Why don't you say the things that you said to me yesterday?

I know you sayin' I'm assuming things
Something's goin' down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange

What is up wit this, tell the truth who you with?
How would you like it if I came over wit my clique?
Don't try to change it, now see you got to bounce
When 2 seconds ago you said you just got in the house
It's so hard to believe that you were home by yourself
When I just heard the voice, heard the voice of someone else
Just this question, why do you feel you got to lie?

You caught up in your game, you cannot say my name

I know you sayin' I'm assuming things
Something's goin' down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange

9. EMOTION

It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

10. BILLS, BILLS, BILLS.


[Verse 1 Beyonce:]

At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

[Kelly:]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

[Chrous:]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

[Verse 2 Beyonce:]
Now you've been maxing out my card (card)

Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But instead you're headin' to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friends that you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone (phone)
Callin' whoever that you think's at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your momma's number's here more than once

[Kelly:]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another

[Repeat Chorus 4 times]
