1. I NEED YOU NOW

Here I am at 6 o’clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It's still hard at 6 o’clock in the morning
To sleep without you
And I know that it might seem too late for love
All I know

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now

Here I am, I’m looking out my window
I’m dreaming about you
Can’t let go at 6 o’clock in the morning
I feel you beside me
And I know that it might seem too late for love
For love, oh, oh

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I’ve gotta hear you say
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now
I need you now

2. DREAMS

I bet I've seen that face
A hundred times or more
Then you shed a tear
What do you want from me
Is it something I can give
Just let me know
Then you walk in my arms and say
I need you more today

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away

Sometimes I'm so afraid
There’s nothing I can do
You're always on my mind
You know my hands were tied
Don’t you know how hard I tried
To never let you go
Then you walked in my arms and said goodbye

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away

Down on my knees I pray for you every day
I've been alone since you’ve been away

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
You’re slipping away

6. ARROW THROUGH MY HEART

There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here any more

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see and I realise it wasn't always right
I’ll take the good and leave the bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here any more

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

With all the tears I cried I should have drowned out all the pain
I’ll never go back, never cry, I’ve got too much to gain

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

7. HERE FOR YOU

So you think you've got it all figured out
Well you know you can't make it alone
Everybody needs somebody to help them out
And you know I could be that someone

And if you ever get lost on life's highway, don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know

I am here for you, oh always here for you
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on, I am here for you

So you think that love is long overdue
Tired of looking for someone to care
Let me tell you now the choice is up to you
But you know I will always be there

9. DON'T TREAT ME BAD

I never thought you'd hurt me
I guess you live and learn
that when you're playin' with fire
you're bound to get burned
I've been mistreated
I've been used before
I get kicked in the face
still I come back for more

But I won't cry no more
'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore

(chorus)
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well this could be the best thing
that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well you can do anything
but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad

I gave it everything
but you threw it all away
I can't take anymore
of these games that you play
I've been through heartache
and I've been through pain
And it's hard to believe
you still treat me this way

But I won't cry no more
'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore

(chorus)

(instrumental)

10. ALL SHE WROTE

I got home late on a Saturday night
And I knew right away something wasn't right
I knew she was gone

She took all I had but, left a hole in my heart
Should 've known it would go bad, right from the start
What did I do wrong?

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
Then I found the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

Chorus:
Bye bye baby, bye bye..., She said in her letter
And that was all she wrote
Guess this is goodbye, guess this is forever
And that was all she wrote

I called on the phone, but she wasn't there
Should 've known all along that she just didn't care
Why did she have to go

Now I look at her picture and I wonder why
She left me this way, Why did she say goodbye?
I guess I'll never know

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
I remember the note on the door
It said goodbye and she don't want me no more

Repeat Chorus
Oh girl, I can't take anymore
Oh yeah

(instrumental)

Now listen to me
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well this could be the best thing
that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well you can do anything
but baby, don't treat me bad

No, don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Oh oh, oh oh oh

VIDEO

11. YOU ARE MY RELIGION

[Songwriters: Snare, C J; Leverty, Bill;]

I've lost my faith in everything
I couldn't believe in anything
Until I put my faith in you

Is it a sin is it a crime
To worship somebody all of the time
Anytime, I would do anything for you

I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you

Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

I wasn't looking for a miracle
Didn't think that love was possible
But your love has made me whole

And I pray that this will never end
You are my lover, my best friend
You took me in and saved my soul

I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you

Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

Forgive me for the things that I have done
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

12. LOVE OF A LIFETIME

[Songwriters: Carl Snare;William Leverty]



I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) we know that we will be together because our love is strong

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

VIDEO


13. CAN'T STOP THE PAIN

It's been a long time since I saw you
Been so long since I touched your face
You know there's nothing I can do
That will help to get me through
'Cause I know you wont be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
You used to be there every morning
You had that smile upon your face
But now that smile is turned around And my world is upside down
'Cause I know you won't be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
I know I'll miss you
But you will never hurt again
I know you're happy
But now I feel such emptiness inside
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
Can't stop the pain

VIDEO


14. LOVE DON'T CARE

Little girl, face all black and blue
But she knows better
That's not the way a man should treat you
But that's ok, she'll change her life tonight
She's leaving him
For a woman who will treat her right

And everybody needs somebody
She could be with anybody
Doesn't matter if it's not another man

Chorus:
Because love don't care who you love
I said love don't care who you love
If you ain't hurting anybody
And if you feel it deep inside
Then love don't care who you love
Don't care who you love

Little girl, she's no sister, she is white
But she loves a brother
Takin' him home to meet her folks tonight
Mom and dad don't understand
We're all the same inside
They just don't realize
That love is always colorblind

And everybody needs somebody
You can be with anybody
It's not the color that makes the man

Because love don't care who you love
I said love don't care who you love
Don't let anybody tell you
That it's wrong if it feels right
'Cuz love don't care who you love
Love don't care

And everybody needs somebody
You can be with anybody
So love someone who makes you happy

VIDEO


15. WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise 'till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die

So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

Chorus:
When I look into you eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes

I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you, we will never say goodbye
I can't stop this feeling and there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything, when I look at you

Chorus

When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
We will always be together, and our love will never die
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
When I look into your eyes

2. YOU PULLED ME THROUGH

I was in the darkness
I was out in the cold
Seemed nothing could heal this
This hole in my soul
You reached out your arms to me
Held out your heart to me
Pulled me back from the edge
Thought i reached the end

When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You you you pulled me through
I was in the shadows
Lost, nothing left to lose
You, you, you pulled me through

You gave my faith back
Faith was so hard to find
You gave me my life back
You were my lifeline
The love that you gave me
Is love that has saved me
Your strength is what made me strong

You held me and i held on

When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You oh you you pulled me through
I was in the shadows
Lost, nothing left to lose
You, you, you pulled me through
Out of the dark
Into your arms
Into the light
Your love saved my life

When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You, ooh you, you (pulled me through)
(when i was drowning) when i was drowning
I was so confused (when i was confused)
Yea you ooh you yea you you pulled me through
(you pulled me through, you) you, you pulled me through

3. IF THIS IS NOT LOVE

Songwriters: Seals, Brian; Thomas, Terry; Thomas, Theron;

I'm calling his phone up just to tell him how much
I really love him 'cause he's everything I want
He listens to me, cares for me so I truly believe

God sent me an angel from above
That's gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect only because
It's the only way I can describe, so

If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn't love

L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love

I'm selfish 'cause I don't wanna share him with nobody
Not even those people that came before me
But see, I never believed

God would send me an angel up from above
That's gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect only because
It's the only way I can describe, so

If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy

If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn't love

L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh

So if you got real love
Lemme see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up
The kind of love that fits quite like a glove

Lemme see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up
If this isn't love

'Cause I know I ain't crazy
I know I ain't tripping
I know I ain't slipping
I know that it's love

You see me with my hands up
If you think I'm dreaming
I know I ain't dreaming
'Cause this is the reason I love him because
If this isn't love

If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby

L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love

You want all my love and my devotion
You want my loving soul right on the line

One night only, let’s not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on big baby come on
One night only, we only have til dawn

It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live

So let’s forget about chances

One night only, one night only
You’ll be the only one
One night only, one night only
Feel your heart run
Oh one night only, one night only
There’s nothing more to say
One night only, words get in the way
One night only
One night only
One night only

Simply you're not welcome over here

(Jennifer)
After all these years I spent
Must have been close to ten
You can't mean the same to him
Especially when that's my man

(Fantasia)
Baby now if he's with you
Tell me why he calls me boo
I guess he's lying to me (He's lying to you)

Ooh, I can't believe it (Can't believe it)
The same man that I knew
When he lived with his mama (I knew him too yeah)
The same damn man
Who car note that I paid
Who bed that I made
So you better believe
After all the years I spent
Must have been close to ten
You can't mean the same to him
Especially when he's my man

Baby now if he's with you
Tell me why he calls me boo
Guess he lied to me (He's lying to you)

6. I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME

I believe in dreams again
I believe that love never ends
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I am free
Cos I believe in you and me

Oh boy, maybe I’m a fool
To feel the way I do
But I would play the fool forever

Just to be with you forever

I believe in miracles
And you are a miracle
Cos I believe, I do believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I’m free
Cos I believe in you and me

Verse1:
You turned me on,sounds so good talking fast. But before we go on there's something i must ask, not about your past cause i dont care who came before me,no my maturity is bigger than that. I am more curious about what you truely want, do i sense sincerity or just good talk, i dont care about the rumor mill but be understanding how you truly feel for me, and yeah i want you sexually

chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth
(im talking bout me) and what im giving you
(this is my heart) please take care
(this is my heart)always be there
(this is my heart) something you cant take
so whatever you do please dont break my heart

Verse 2;
some girls are satisfied with cash in hand
and some girls are happy just to have a man
but my heart has my word to never put her in the way of harm
so you know i like your charm



chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth
(im talking bout me) and what im giving you
(this is my heart) so treat it like gold
(this is my heart) pretend that its yours
(this is my heart) its too valuable to loose
so whatever you do please dont loose my heart


Bridge;
one night aint gone get you no where, there's so much to learn and what you dedicate to me is what you'll get back in return, now my bedroom game is sick, and thats only the half of it,( i need love), im tired of the same,(give love)and no games



chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth
(im talking bout me) and what im giving you
(this is my heart) so before you lie
(this is my heart)draw me a line
(this is my heart) pain shows up
so whatever you do please dont break my heart
my heart

Im talking about the truth , and what im giving you
this is my heart

8. WHY IS IT SO HARD?

Well I'm on the fence, I'm undecided
So very tense, still a little upset
But I don't wanna make an angry decision
And regret it later, so I haven't decided yet

Chorus:
But I could never, ever feel like this
When they words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say, I just hate how difficult you make it.
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? So hard to stay?
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(No, no)

Doesn't make sense, irrational me
I'm still around though I can't believe one word that you say.
No, it don't make no sense
I'm always crying, but I'll cry oceans if you ever went away.

Chorus:
But I could never, ever feel like this
When they words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say, I just hate how difficult you make it.
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/jennifer-hudson-lyrics/why-is-it-so-hard-lyrics.html ]
So hard to love you? So hard to stay?
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(Hey, hey)

(Why is it so hard?)
I can walk out that door (Out that door)
And never come around anymore (Anymore)
But that wouldn't make no sense to me
But see I love you Baby
And the thick and thin this is where I'm supposed to be.
(Supposed to be) Hey, hey

Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? (Yeah) So hard to stay? (Hard to stay)
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(No, no)
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? (Why is it so hard?) So hard to stay? (Hey hey yea yeah)
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you?)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way (Hey, hey)
Why is it so hard?

NATALIE: WHEN I WAS WITH YOU [9]

Natalie Nicole Alvarado (born September 2, 1979), better known simply as Natalie, is a Mexican-American R&B singer/songwriter.
After her high school years, she chose to study criminal justice after giving up her dreams of being a singer.

She was previously a cheerleader for the Houston Rockets NBA team and backup dancer for various R&B and rap artists from Houston, Texas. During her stint as a cheerleader, she was also working on her lyrical skills and even added rapping to her dance performances. Charles Chavez, founder of Latium Entertainment and producer of such artists as Baby Bash, Frankie J, and Chamillionaire, believed that she would have potential as a successful musical artist and introduced her to producers Happy Perez and Play N Skillz. Under Latium, she was initially signed as a rapper but later focused on singing, which she had frequently done for hooks on songs.

Natalie made her debut as a singer with her hit 2005 single "Goin' Crazy"; the song reached #13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Her self-titled debut album Natalie was released in May 2005 and reached #16 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. Her second single from the album, "Energy" (featuring Baby Bash), peaked at #66. The third & final single "Where Are You" (featuring Justin Roman) failed to chart. A fourth track, "Emptiness" managed to chart on Billboard's R&B Singles chart, although it was not released as a single. She also was the opening act of the 2005 Wango Tango music festival in Anaheim, California hosted by Los Angeles, California radio station KIIS and the sold-out 2005 Latium Tour of Baby Bash and Frankie J. Zalia Cosmetics also recruited her as a model.[3] She has also collaborated with Baby Bash on the songs "Bubbalicious" and "Throwed Off" from his 2005 album Super Saucy. She also has appeared on Chamillionaire's The Sound of Revenge in the song "Think I'm Crazy".

Natalie's second album, Everything New, was released in 2006. She has stated that the album aims toward a more "dance-pop" direction in musicality. She has also signed a deal to become a songwriter for EMI.

She is currently working on new material in 2010, which may be released sometime in the future

3. WHEN I WAS WITH YOU


When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

I remember when you used to say
That you love me and you'd always stay
By my side, that you'd never leave me boy
So tell me why thing suddenly changed
Now here we are, on and off again
Don't wanna do it no more, I can't pretend
Like you didn't take a part of me with you
And now I can't stop thinkin' through

When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

It's not the same, it ain't feelin' right
These memories that got your girl awake at night
I'm staying up waiting for phone calls
Doing nothing at all
It's getting harder to keep up with the fight
Still I wonder if you miss me
My days are over feelin' empty
You got me wishin' everyday you'd bring back my soul
Beacuse of you nothing let me go

When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side

When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

If I could be your girl, and you would be my man
We'd still be together walking hand-in-hand
'Cause I was made for you, I think that you were made for me
Instead I keep thinking back to what we used to be

If I could be your girl, if you would be my man
We'd still be together walking hand-in-hand
'Cause I was made for you, I think that you were made for me
Instead I keep thinking back to what we used to be

When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

6. SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

[Chorus]
When I'm without you, I think about you
Baby boy, all day
There's something about you, I like about you
Something about your ways
When I'm without you, I think about you
Baby boy, all day
There's something about you, I like about you
Something about your ways.

I never had anybody come and sweep me away the way you do,
I used to think it was funny the way you had girls tripping on you
I used to say you wouldn't get me like this
I used to play, try to play
I used to be, the one you had to chase
now I see what I got to take.

If it takes getting to know you much longer than you should
I would go through it all for you, but I never thought I would
Cause the way you had me, is a mystery and I can't figure it out
The way you put it on me, with that smile of yours, now I need you around



[Chorus]

On a cloudy day, I could bring you sunshine, summer skies
I just had to say, that I know you never felt this way
I tell ya, by the way You're the one that I adore
Just let me say, it's you, it's you I want to know
Oooh girl, it's time for you to love me tonight
(it's time to love me tonight)
Lady, lady, lady, lady, lady
I told you, you'd be feeling me

[Chorus]

Boy you know that you're my baby
I love the way you make me smile
it took some time for me to see you
I know you've been there for a while

Baby girl You know I want you
I want to show you love
You really gotta know that
That i'm a fool in love
(fool in love)

[Chorus x2]

7. ALL OF MY LIFE


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh whoa whoa
Whoa, whoa, ooh
Yeah, yeah
All of my life

Can somebody tell me why
These chicks keep falling for the same guy
It's been going on for a while now
I'm feeling so much more
I'm trying really hard
But I can't stop from crying
What do I do
I'm falling in love
If I'm not I'd be lying
Why am I hanging on
To such a memory
Too strong that I can't let go even though I'm trying
With the happiness
You're telling me when we will ever be what we used to be again

All of my life
I've waited for someone like you
I feel it when I look at you
In your eyes I see the truth
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I'm missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

All of my life
I'll give you everything you'll ever need
Always be a part of me
You're the reason that I breathe
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I keep missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

Now tell me what am I gonna do
Can't escape right 'cause I think of you
I close my eyes, I see your face, makes me alone
Just make me wanna take a breath and take it
It's a rush
Flashbacks dreaming about the both of us
Do I really wanna wake up
Oh no 'cause when I do you're not with me
That's when reality hits me
I get weak in the knees, can't function me
No, can't breathe
My friends see changes in me
Always be dremaing if once be


If still today be a part of a heart, always will be
Your beautiful soul and smile is all I need

All of my life
I've waited for someone like you
I feel it when I look at you
In your eyes I see the truth
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I'm missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

All of my life
I'll give you everything you'll ever need
Always be a part of me
You're the reason that I breathe
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I keep missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

My mind has been so tired
I have no words to say (no words to say)
I'm feelin' so frustrated
I wish I could walk away (I should walk away)
So now what am I supposed to do
Without you here with me
I'm going in and out
I'm feelin up and down
So baby hear when I say

All of my life
I've waited for someone like you
I feel it when I look at you
In your eyes I see the truth
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I'm missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

All of my life
I'll give you everything you'll ever need
Always be a part of me
You're the reason that I breathe
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I keep missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do

All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life

8. EMPTINESS


[Songwriters: Nathan Perez;Natalie Nicole Alvarado;Ronald Bryant]



This emptiness that I feel that really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby

It's hard to believe, you're not here with me
Where will I go, where will I be
Less without you, you were my dreams
Better move on, as hard as it seems

I try to tell myself forget the past
I think that I'm losing my mind 'cause you ain't coming back
I gotta play it right, keep it cool, keep control
I'm tryin' all this time to let you go

I miss you and I want you
I really gotta have you, one more time
Boy I love you and I need you
I really gotta have you, one more time

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby

I miss you and I want you
I really gotta have you, one more time

The harder I try, the deeper I sink


But love has me blind, I can't even think
It's only a while, then it will leave
And then I'll move on, this really ain't me

Whatever am I gonna do
You got me stressin' over losin' you
I gotta keep it right, keep it cool, keep control
Tryin' all the time to let you go

Boy I love you and I need you
I really gotta have you, one more time

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby

This emptiness in the way you makin' me feel
Is it real, do I wanna continue lovin' you still
Here's the deal, do I hang on to something that's been killed
Or move on and stay strong and continue to walk uphill

But I will always own memories in my mind
But until, it's gonna take all of me all of the time to unwind
Forget about what we had and realize
I was blind before but now you're gonna be fine

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, you gotta make it work baby

This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, you gotta make it work baby

When it comes to you, I had no choice
I must act like I don't wanna call you back
I stayed up last night, waiting for the phone to flash
What would it be like if I don't call so fast
Let a few hours past, see if my patience coud last

Everytime you call me up I'm playing hard to get
I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me

Now it ain't my style to have you guess how I feel about you
I'm always thinking about you, I'm always talking about you
Don't wanna let you know I have the words
I end up all jittery
And all the words I can't control what you do to me
All it takes is one little thing
I hear a ring, I see your name

Everytime you call me up I'm playing hard to get

I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me

I'm gonna call you up tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Be up-tight and honest with you

If I'ma do it tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

BAD ENGLISH: WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE [14]

Bad English was an American/British hard rock supergroup formed in 1988, reuniting keyboardist Jonathan Cain with singer John Waite and bassist Ricky Phillips, his former bandmates in The Babys..The members decided on a name for the band while playing pool. John Waite missed a shot and Jonathan Cain made a comment on how bad his "english" was (referring to the spin a player puts on the cue ball) and the band decided to use the phrase.The name is also thought to be a reference to The Babys, since the name was misspelled and an example of bad English.

Jonathan Cain and guitarist Neal Schon, who had enjoyed enormous success in Journey, continued on to form Bad English with Waite after Journey disbanded.[2] The first album, eponymously titled, was a big seller with three hit singles, including the number one hit "When I See You Smile" written by Diane Warren, the top 10 hit "Price of Love," and "Possession." Another track from the debut album, the AOR song "Best of What I Got", was featured in the soundtrack to 1989's Tango and Cash.
The band's second album, 1991's "Backlash" came and went without any fanfare. The only single, "Straight To Your Heart," just missed the Top 40, peaking at #42. Ricky Phillips writes on his website that the group had parted company before the second album had been mixed. Both Phillips and guitarist Neal Schon expressed frustration with the "pop" side of the band's songs and wanted a harder edge. In the end, it proved to be the band's undoing as everyone left to pursue other projects.

In later interviews Waite revealed that although he loved playing to stadium-sized audiences, he was uncomfortable with the corporate rock image that he felt the band had presented and has been a solo artist ever since.

Bad English drummer Deen Castronovo later went on to join a reformed Journey with singer Steve Augeri, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory. He also played on Ozzy Osbourne's album Ozzmosis in 1995.

1. HEAVEN IS A FOUR LETTER WORD.


There's a rumour here, and it's goin' 'round,
can you hear it on the street
If you realize that the pleasure lies
between surrender and the heat
Just take a walk on the wild side,
babe, then I'll meet you halfway there
And if you're talkin' 'bout paradise
No need to say a prayer,
'cos baby I'll take you there


Hey girl, haven't you heard,
heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough,
you'll find out when you're in the real world
Heaven is a four letter word
Lose your innocence for experience,
but you've got to take the chance

Can you rock an' roll, can you get down babe,
'cos it's time for you to dance
Don't need to ride in a limousine
to feel like a millionaire
And if you're talkin' 'bout fantasy
It could happen anywhere,
baby I'll take you there


It's like love and kiss, and it feels like this,
baby don't wait too long
It's just me and you, we know what to do,
and it's a long way till dawn, yeah

2. THE PRICE OF LOVE

Girl, sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should to you
I act like I’m no good
And you wait for me patiently
This house is not a home without you
It takes two hearts to share

Your eyes will always see through me
and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you,
you're everything I need

And through the good and bad times,
you have always been there
We hold each other close,
you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it,
never dream of giving up
That’s the price of love, oh yeah

Love, sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong
Sometimes it's hard to be that strong
And oh, I would do anything
For you I’d turn the stars around,
I’d find a way somehow

This time you see I built a bridge to you again
Love shines, we'll sweep away the past
We’re more than lovers, more than friends

And through the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other tight, you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it, never think of giving up
That’s the price of love

Your eyes will always see through me
and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you,
you're everything I need

And through the good and bad times,
you have always been there
We hold each other close,
you tell me it's alright
And sometimes I can't give enough
That’s the price of love
That’s the price of love, oh yeah
That's the price of love
That’s the price of love, of love

3. WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE



Sometimes I wonder if I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you, I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cuz sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free, and then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby, and everything's alright, everything's alright

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right thru the rain
When I see you smile, baby when I see you smile at me, oh yeah

Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do, it's like nothing that I ever knew hey

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it, 'cuz you're here with me now

And one look at you baby, is all I'll ever need, it's all I'll ever need

When I see you smile, I can face the world,
oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light,
oh oh I see it shining right thru the rain
When I see you smile, baby,
baby when I see you smile at me

Sometimes I wanna give up,
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby,
and everything's alright, hey everything's alright
So right

When I see you smile,
I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile,
I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right thru the rain, yeah
When I see you smile,
yeah I can face the world,

When I see you smile,

4. I NEED YOU NOW

Here I am at six o’clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It’s still hard at six o’clock in the morning
To sleep without you
And I know that it might seem too late for love
All I know

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I’ve gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now

Here I am, I’m looking out my window
I’m dreaming about you
Can’t let go at six o’clock in the morning
I feel you beside me
And I know that it might seem too late for love
For love, oh

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I’ve gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, oh I’ve gotta hear you say
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now
I need you now

6. MAKE LOVE LAST

[Songwriters: Cain, Jonathan; Waite, John;]

Aey, ooh

Now the sand is shiftin' through your life
The hands of time are twistin' through your days
A captured moment in your kiss
Like winter snow it's gone, melted away

There's a chapel on the edge of town
Baby, take my hand
Before they tear it down, yea
'Cause now we find nothing's what it seems
Let me hold you close
Through these drivin' dreams

'Cause the world is turnin' much too fast
And time won't wait
Gotta make love last
'Cause the fields are burnin'
And there's no returnin'
Till the future finds the past
We gotta make love last
Make love last, yea

Like a rose explodin' in the sun
A precious time to live before it's gone
Tears fall on the ocean from different skies
Inside your kiss, I wake and find the dawn

In temporary ways we give
But eternally our hearts will live
For now we find nothing's what it seems
You better run with me
Through these drivin' dreams

'Cause the highway's fadin' much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
'Cause the fields are burnin'
And the season's turnin'
Till the future finds the past
This time we gotta make love last

Ooh, ooh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Yea
Ahh, ahh
'Cause the world is turnin' much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
'Cause the fields are burnin'
And the season's turnin'
Till the future finds the past
This time we're gonna make love last
We gotta make love last
'Cause the highway's fadin'
And the world is turnin'
Much too fast
We gotta make love last
Make love last

7. STRAIGHT TO YOUR HEART


[Songwriters: Schon, Neal; Cain, Jonathan; Waite, John; Spiro, Mark;]

I can't reach behind your eyes
You always look away
You hide behind your alibis
And change your mind
From day to day

If there's something I can do
Then I'll be there
Outside your broken world
You?ll see, it's me who cares

Take me straight to your heart
'Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know, where you are
'Cause you know, I've been there before
Straight to your heart

I watch you move
And I watch you dance
I watch you drift away
And I'd give anything for you
And you know that's bad
When it gets that way

You can't go on like this
And I don?t wanna fight again
I don?t give a damn anymore

Right or wrong you?re gonna let me in

Straight to your heart
'Cause this time?s real and this time's forever
I know where you are
'Cause baby, I've been there before
Straight to your heart, this time, this time

Baby, I know where you are
'Cause you know, I've been there before
Then maybe I'll break down the walls
And my love will go straight to your heart

Inside, take me inside
Yeah, straight to your heart
'Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
'Cause this time we?re goin' all the way

Straight to your heart, this time, this time
Baby, it's straight, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This time it?s straight to your heart
Oh yeah, 'cause this time it's real

8. GHOST IN YOUR HEART


[Song writers: Cain, Jonathan; Page, Martin George; Waite, John Charles;]

A little white picket fence around your heart
It's everything you wanted
Now it's tearing you apart

You're gonna raise a family now
But you don?t know where to start
I remember you

Me I pack a suitcase
And move from town to town
A little east of Eden, too late to turn around

Marionettes on wires
You dance out of control
I remember you

Are you crying in your sleep tonight?
When you're lying with him
Do you turn out the light?

Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world?
I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart

Well, you said you couldn't take it
You had to settle down
And I was the wild one with both feet off the ground

I could never understand you
But I loved you anyhow
I remember now

Are you crying in your sleep tonight?
When you?re lying with him
Do you turn out the light?

Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world?
I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart, yeah

Something in the first kiss is written in the sand
We held it for a moment
But it slipped straight through our hands

I stare at your reflection
And sometimes see my face
I remember you, you remember too

Are you crying in your sleep tonight?
When you?re lying with him
Do you turn out the light?

Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world?

Are you crying in your sleep tonight?
Are you lying with him
Thinkin' 'bout me tonight?

Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world?
I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart

In your heart
In your heart
Ghost in your HEART.....

Oh yeah, oh yeah

I can't find myself when you go away
Makes me wonder where you are
Is there someone else I just need to know?
This charade has gone too far

For the first time in my life, feel I'm losing control
I can't keep pretending it's my soul that you own
I need you

My heart's in your world tonight
(Possession)
And you hold the key to my life
(Possession)
I've got to be with you I wanna dream with you
You're my obsession, I want possession, of you

I can't play this game am I in too deep?
'Cause my world is where you are
You're always on my mind the little things you say
I can feel you everywhere

The trace of your lipstick I can taste your perfume ]
The note that you left me leaves a space in this room
I need you

My heart's in your world tonight
(Possession)
And you hold the key to my life
(Possession)
I've got to be with you I wanna dream with you

12. TIME STOOD STILL

The first time that I saw you
You were dancin’ on the beach
Poetry in motion
But you seemed so out of reach
And the waves
Were breakin’ ’round you
In the California sunset
I made a wish to know you
And touch your golden hair
You turned around and looked at me
And paradise was there
Baby I remember the way you took my hand
Yesterday
Time stood still
As we walked into the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday
Time stood still
We found a little seaside bar
High above the rocks
You were drinking white wine
And I was doing shots
I wondered if you’d stay the night
You just took my hand and led the way
Time stood still
As we made love through the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
Time stood still
Time stood still
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
Oh yeah
I thought that I’d seen love before
But what you showed me
Well that’s something more
Love found two strangers walking on the shore
We threw our watches in the sea
I looked at you you looked at me
And time stood still
We made a fire on the beach that night
And watched the seagulls circle in the morning light
Maybe there are some things
We’re not meant to understand anyway
Time stood still
But love goes on forever
The memory is burned in our hearts forever
Oh yes
Time stood still
The moment’s gone forever
But I will love you till
Time stands still in our hearts forever
Oh yeah
Time stood still
Time stood still
Time stands still in our hearts forever
Seems just like yesterday
Time stood still
Time stands still
Time stood still
Oh yeah
Time stood still
Forever...

You get the best of what I got, aw
I wanna love you 'round the clock (best of what I got) oh
You get the best of what I got (best of what I got) aw, that's right
I wanna love you 'round the clock (best of what I got) aw, ooh, yeah
(Best of what I got) that's right
You get the best of what I got (best of what I got)... (to fade)

14. IN DREAMS


In my life I’ve seen such things
That I wish I had not seen
But through your eyes I can let it go
When you’re lying here with me

Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn’t wake me from this dream we dream
Cos baby any way the wind blows
I will follow you, it seems
That in my life I still believe in dreams

Where you are is where I’ll be
That’s all that really matters to me
The world out there, hey, can kiss my ass
As long as I’ve got you, I’m free, free

Sunshine knocking on my window}
Couldn’t wake me from this dream we dream
Cos baby any way the wind blows
I will follow you, it seems
That in my life I still believe in dreams

The world out there can kiss my ass
As long as I’ve got you, I’m free, free

Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn’t wake me from this dream we dream
Cos I don’t care which way the wind blows
I will follow you, it seems
That in my life I believe
Cos in your life you believe in dreams
