1. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO LOVE ME QUITE LIKE YOU
[Songwriters: Kelly, Robert; The Honeydrippers;]
No one knows how to love me quite the way you do
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
The one for me, the one for me
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
When it comes down to the things I like
Boy, you know just how to satisfy me
You pick me up when I'm down, you put my feet on solid ground
And you make me your first priority
Keep it comin', keep it comin', babe
'Cause I like it, 'cause I like it, babe
Don't stop 'cause no one knows
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
When there are clouds on a rainy day
You know how to bring sunshine to my life, yes you do
And I've never felt this way before
You make me feel like I'm your goddess
Keep it comin', keep it comin', babe
'Cause I like it, 'cause I like it, babe
Don't stop 'cause no one knows
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one
Well it's the L I Y A H plus the second chapter
R. Kelly's spitin' tracks, as if it were tobacco
It's the ninties, time to get the pockets phat
So when I say book, you say read that
Now back to the matter of the song
No one knows how to love me like you do
I got words for you
Uh, forever my man
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
No one knows how to love me quite like you do
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
The one for me, the one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
The one for me, the one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me
The one for me, the one for me
Liyah you're the only one for me

3. CAME TO GIVE LOVE
[Tann]:
Baby girl you got the whole world screaming
Giving it up for you
You got the party people fiending
Bump it to the roof
From the left side to the right side
And straight to the back
Ain't nothing going on here but a dirty money track
Got the party people waving their hands and doing the rodeo
Aaliyah, why don't you kick it, kick the flow
[Aaliyah]
[1] -I came to give my love
To the fans across the world
Reach out to you
Touch the hearts of boys and girls
[Repeat 1 (3x)]
Came to spread my love
Do do do

Boy, you know you make me float

Boy, you gotta stroke
Before drifting me deeper
You're there now, hold me close
Boy, let's take this overboard now

'Cause you, 'cause you get me to where I'm going
In a jury you'll get my vote
'Cause I believe, I believe you know just what you doing now
Baby, now we can coast
Let's do it in a hurry
That's too slow
Go ahead and put that thing in over drive
I want you to
Rock the boat, rock the boat

5. I MISS YOU
[Songwriters: Bishop, Teddy; Austin, Johnta;]
Ooh, hey
Yeah-e-yeah, yeah
N-n-no, no, no
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
Off to college
Yes you went away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends, also lovers
Did everything for one another
Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow
Come back to me
Can you feel me
Hear me callin'
For you 'cause it's
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
Now I'm sittin' here thinkin' bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy, I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still care
And I want to let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life
You gotta concentrate baby
Come back to me
Can you feel me
Hear me callin' for you
'Cause it's
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I
I miss you
I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I
I can't think no more since you went away
I don't really feel like talkin'
Don't want to hear them buggin' me
Tell me do you understand me
I can't do but be without you
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do, said I've been needin' you
Wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you, is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you

6. THE ONE I GAVE MY HEART TO
[Songwriters: Warren, Diane;]
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?
Won't somebody tell me? So I can understand
If you love me, how could you hurt me like that
How could the one I gave my world to
Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"
Say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine, tell me?
How could you be so cold to me
When I gave you everything?
All my love, all I had inside
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
How could the one I shared my dreams with
Take my dreams from me?
How could the love that brought such pleasure
Bring such misery?
Won't somebody tell me?
Somebody tell me please
If you love me how could you do that to me? Tell me
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?
Won't somebody tell me?
So I can understand
If you love me how could you hurt me like that?
How could the one I gave my world to
Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"
Say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to
How could the one I gave my heart to
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine, tell me?

9. READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Late afternoon, the sun's going down
I ca-ca-call on your cell (why's he in such a hurry)
Leaving the room, he's mumbling, too
Asking for his shoes, (just leaving outt he blue)
No explanation, no actual location
Just watching him pacing (wonder who he's stressing)
Little conversation, leavin' no debation, he left the door swingin'
You better open your mi-in-ind
To read between the lines
You gotta read between the lines-ines
You gotta read between the li-ines
You gotta read between the lines
9 in the morning, up, up, up way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin restless
(the room is full of questions)
Little replyin, whole lot of denyin'
You're steady collidin
(so why do he keep on trying)
I s-search for the median, now he's a comedian
That's all the more reason
(he's changing like the seasons)
Are you still pleasing, well soon you'll be leaving
Which one will be grieving?
You better open your mind
To gotta read between the lines
You gotta read between the lines-ines
You gotta read between the li-ines
You gotta read between the lines
Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin told
Look in his eyes, yougotta read between the lines
Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin told
Look in his eyes, yougotta read between the lines
Hope you don't think you can throw the line over me
'cause I, I know what's going on
I hope you ain't making plans on running me
Cause that, that ain't what I'm on
Hope you don't think you can throw the line over me
'cause you'll look up, and I'll be gone
I hope you ain't making plans on running me
'cause I read between the lines
Who got you thinkin' you ishh ain't been stinkin'?
My temperatures peakin'
(why are you barely speakin)
I'm bustin' his bubble, and he know he in trouble
He's talkin' in doubles
(i'm listening but hardly believing)
Changing the story, or trying to ignore me
Still reaching out for me
(but still I'm hardly reaching)
Give me a reason to put you back on line
You've wasted enough time
I had to open my mind
To read between the lines-ines
You gotta read between the li-ines
You gotta read between the lines-ines
You gotta read between the li-ines
You gotta read between the lines-ines
You gotta read between the li-ines
You gotta read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
