Lay Down Stay Down
I dont care if my ladys gone
As long as you give me just what I want.
Ive been losin my direction,
Got to find a new connection.
You have wasted the love I tasted,
Now Im really gettin hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
Theres one thing I really need.
Im gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.
Lookin for trouble, I guess thats right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
Its been long gone since I had known,
Now Im headin for some more.
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
Theres one thing I really need.
Im gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.

They Say
They say the future's looking bright
I guess i just can't see it
Everything's gonna be alright
I just can't believe it
They say the beat continues on
I guess i just can't hear it
It's been this way far too long
I try to grin and bear it
Hold your head up high
Stand your ground
You think you've won the prize
Take a look around
They say it's in God's hands
I guess i just don't trus him
Part of some master plan
I don't understand it
They say that heaven awaits
I guess i'm just impatient
How will i get through the gates
I guess i'll have to pray
Is there anyone listening
Won't somebody save us
Is there anyone out there
Someone we can trust
Don't walk away
Stay here with us
We're so afrad
Don't know who we can trust
Hold your head up high
Staand your ground
Take a look around, open your eyes

Stuck On You
Stuck on you
Ive got this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just cant lose
Guess, Im on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess
Ill be with you till the end
Guess Im on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
Im stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess
Its time for me to come on home
Guess Im on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait
Around for a man like me
Guess Im on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
Oh, Im leaving on that midnight train
And I know just where Im going
Ive packed up my troubles
And Ive thrown them all away
Because this time little darlin
Im coming home to stay
Im stuck on you
Ive got this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just cant lose
Guess, Im on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess
Ill be with you till the end
Guess Im on my way
Im mighty glad you stayed

Next Lifetime
[1] - Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl? [2 times]
First time that I saw you boy
It was a warm and sunny day
All I know is I wanted you
I really hoped you looked my way
When you smiled at me
So warm and sweet
I could not stay
You make me feel like a lilting girl
What do you do to me
[Repeat 1 (2 times)]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gonna be there
You're imaging
Feels so damn good to me
It picks me up don't wanna come down
You got me spinning all around
Yeah
You need to know
I've got that somebody
You're beautiful
But it ain't that type of party
[Repeat 1 (2 times)]
Well I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Baby we'll be butterflies
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
That sounds so divine
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I guess I will now
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Wait
Wait a little while
See it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
Boy don't get me wrong
Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)
I know just how strong (every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie
[Repeat 1 (1 time)]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I want to stay around
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm so confused now
[Repeat 1 (1 time)]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Already
I'm going to be there
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm going to look for you
[Repeat 1 (1 time)]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Oh

Stay For A While
Long time since Ive seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was i,
Young and tender.
Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed wed never forget.
Now its hazy.
Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.
Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Stay....
(please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.
Stay for awhile.
Oh, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Wont you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
(the way it used to be. be.......
The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. ooooooooooooooh.
Now, now, now, now.... hoohhhhhh....)

Broken Silence
I've always tried to please everyone but me,
But now I've had enough
I'm done just let me be
I've know for a long time that the only way you'll love me
Is if I be who you want me to be
But not anymore I'm sorry,
Maybe the person you want me to be just isn't me
I'm done pretending I'm happy all the time
I'm done feeling so miserable to the point of crying
You've never been shy about telling me that if I didn't conform
You'd get rid of me like all the rest
Well I'm sorry but I'm done
Guess I failed the test
I've tried my best to deal with the pressure
And my best to stay sane,
But its useless because things around here
Are NEVER going to change
I've always suffered in silence up until now
And at times I look back and ask myself how?
How did I sit there in all my misery and pain and stay silent?
All I know is they're over
All my days of being quite
I guess you could say suffering in silence was my token,
But not anymore
Because my silence has forever been broken

Too, too, took her so long

I guess Im really hung
I guess youd better run

While you running all over town
Why dont you settle down
I told her we were just friends
She believed it till the end

Lay Lady Lay
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed,
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed..
Whatever colours you have in your mind
I show them to you and you see them shine
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed,
Stay lady stay, stay with your man a while..
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean
And you are the best thing that hes ever seen
Stay lady stay, stay with your man a while..
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When hes standing in front of you, ooh ooh
Lay across my big brass bed.....
Stay lady stay
I long to see you in the, morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Lay lady lay...
Stay... stay!...

Shout out to Hip hop
Hip hop is here to stay
Mean while oother things has long time, gone away
I remember hearing that ihip hop would'nt stay
Now you can hear hip hop,
Any place on any given day
With highly suggestive rhymes and
Yet a funky kind of sway
Now there are tons of movies along with urban
fashions trends to express
What they want to say
Beliveve it or not
Even on the high end runways
Hey
Anyway
Hip hop is here to stay
I guess now, the reality is,
Many wouldn't have it any other way
So, now hip hop
Receive your crown
Take your lounge seat and
Comfortly sit down
For you have won the high noon show down

Keepin My Fingers Crossed
Chorus:
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt,
But Im keepinmy fingers crossed
She was just turning 17
He always promised her hed stay
They were so love crazy til she had a baby
Then he turned and walked away.
How long will we keep this goin on
Before we find a way
To care for each other
Living for today, we'll never see tomorrow.
Chorus
He was just out to get a wreck
He was too proud to show his pain
Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured
He would lose at his own game.
How long can we keep this goin on
When no one takes the blame
Theres so many gone
We could find a way, it may not be too late.
Chorus
Take a look around, see how hard it is
To survive these days
But sometimes you wonder
How long can this keep goin on
I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed
How long will we keep this goin on
When no one takes the blame
Theres so many gone
Livinfor today, we may not see tomorrow

Guess God Thinks I'm Abel
I could be your lover
You could be you mind
We go on forever
Till the end of time
You could be my best friend
Stay up all night long
You could be my railroad
We'd go on and on
Lets get along
There's nothing here to do
Lets go find a rainbow
I could be wrong but what is there to do
Guess god thinks I'm Abel
You could be my enemy
I guess there's still time
I get round to loving you
Is that such a crime?
Lets get along
There's nothing here to do
Lets go find a rainbow
I could be wrong but what is there to do
Guess god thinks I'm Abel
No one can break us
No one could take us
If they tried
No one can break us
No one could take us
If they tried
Come on over
Let's make it tonight

The Long Road
And I wished for so long cannot stay
All the precious moments cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen cannot stay
But still something's missing I cannot say yea
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths are falling down down down down
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road the long road
Cannot stay the long road
There's no need to say goodbye say goodbye
All the friends and family
All the memories going round round round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roarin'
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is setting
The sun won't rise another day
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road

Now That Youre Gone
(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Im living my life all alone
Or hit by a blow
To my pride
But Im doing ok
I wont let you see
What this has done to me
I guess Ill just take it in stride
Come what may
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
How can one do what should be done by two
I guess thats a crazy question to ask
I might seem happy
But dont be fooled by my appearance
Make no mistake
Im just wearing a mask
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that youre gone
My nights grow long

The Goodbye Song.
Last year was one of our better years
In a life full of separation
Its ok to second guess
Just as long as you remember shes gone
In the bright of day
It might seem like the stars are gone
They never leave
They come back when the sun moves on
Its over now
You watched me as I turned around
Its not why but how
The light is on
Ill come home now
I feel its been such a long time
Since your eyes have met with mine
I feel its been such a long time
Im glad you made up your mind
Its hurting me from the inside
If I only had something to say
Maybe if I prove that Im right
Will it still be safe to stay

Unless I Receive An Invitation Given
I admit it,
I love you.
But what I did not commit to...
Was a lifetime of playing,
Games of 'How Much Do You Love Me? '
Tweaked with a chasing of 'Hide and Seek'.
My love is here for you.
However...
If you find it needs testing,
To see how long it will stay...
Each time you desire to throw a test my way.
Guess what my love will choose to do?
Guess what my love will choose to do?
'I get the message.'
I delivered that message years ago.
I am still here...
And not about to do rewrites.
Unless...
I receive an invitation given by you to do so.

Reconsider Baby
(by lowell fulson)
So long, oh I hate to see you go.
So long, oh I hate to see you go.
And the way that I will miss you, I guess you will never know.
Weve been together so long to have to separate this way.
Weve been together so long to have to separate this way.
Im gonna let you go ahead on now baby, pray that youll come back home someday.
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess youve changed your mind.

If It Should Please You
If it should please you, I have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long lord, I guess Im here to stay
So Im itching to please you, with a topical song
And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown
And I think I know how to make you feel
Were one and the same now, like a big flywheel
I have seen the best of all those things you cant explain
Wanderlust I did not trust but I never did complain
So if it should please you, put away those blues
Just settle on back now, Ill do my licks for you
Its my own way and thats the way it goes
Youre a real good reason for a real good show
I have seen the best of all those things you dont forget
Wanderlust I did not trust and I aint been done in yet
So if you got the dead end of the dealing shoe
This is your last chance man, we belong to you
Its my own way and thats the way I feel
Were one and the same now, like a big flywheel
So if it should please you, I have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long lord, I guess Im here to stay
Were one and the same now, lets take it away
Were gonna take it real easy, lets take it away

I've Spent To Long
I've spent to long not caring,
I've spent to long away,
And now you want me back,
To live just like before,
You want to take my hand again,
You want my love to stay,
But I've spent to long not caring,
And my love it flew away.
I've spent to long in solitude,
I've spent to long in hope,
And now you want me in your arms,
To stay and hold you close,
You want to take my love again,
Feel despair take it's place,
But I've spent to long in solitude,
And you've lost this blood soaked race.
I've spent to long not caring,
Spent to long away,
Spent to long denying,
I've spent to long awake,
And now you want my slumber,
You want a love to stay,
But I've spent to long not caring,
And love? It fades away.
