Protruded Stomach
Why are you hiding your face from me lately?
Is it because of your protruded stomach? !
For a bird told me the news last night and,
I am here to meet you personally.
Deep sleep fell on us and we slumbered on the bed of love,
But i am here tonight to see you like a child's prayer;
So give me ear when i speak,
For that which was hidden is now exposed to the masses.

Give Me All Your Love
(coverdale/sykes)
When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was trouble
But, my heart got in the way
I couldnt stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away
I dont even know your name
An I cant leave you alone,
Im running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone
I know the game youre playing
But, baby I just cant let go
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Ill work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
Ill rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
Im gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I am blinded by your smile
And Im crazy about your walk
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk
Im a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Anything you want from me...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...

Show Me The Way
Every night I say a prayer in the hope that theres a heaven
And every day Im more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that Ive lost my faith
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know theres peace in a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find weve so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just wont know
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that Ill get there someday
Show me the way
Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that theres a heaven...

Deep Sleep
Ive been walking in a deep sleep
Sleepwalking but I just woke up
From a deep sleep
A very deep sleep
Ive been running on remote control
In a deep sleep
I awoke the moment I was told
That a smile is just a frown turned around
On the face of a clown with a mean streak
It was a deep sleep
A very deep sleep
I cant remember what I used to know
Somebody help me now and let me go
Into a deep sleep
Push me back now let me go
Into a dream again
To a sleep unlike before
So deep it never ends
Ive been caught inside a deep sleep
Sinking deeper after I forgot
Sleepwalking as I watch myself
In a deep sleep
I keep pretending that its someone else

My All/Stay Awhile
(I told you, if Jermaine likes it... then I like it)
(Don't leave
Don't, don't leave)
(Repeat x8)
I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you and I won't pull through without you by my side
I'd give my all
(My all)
To have
(To have)
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
(To feel)
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
So put your loving arms around me, boy
And hold me like I was a cuddly toy
Let me feel that warmth of your embrace
Don't let go
'Cause there could be no sadder sight to see
Than if we were to miss this opportunity
So send me up a signal and I'll catch the line
If there's no time, you know it's up to you
So why don't you
Stay a little while, child
(Stay)
Stay a little while... child
(Stay)
Stay a little while, child
(Stay)
Stay a little while... child
(Ooh)
(Now let's take it uptown, get down)
Well since you put it that way, honey I'm gon' stay
And only your love can make Peter parlay
Let the limo leave, we'll cancel the flight
And not only will I stay, girl I'm spending the night
And if it's right, I'm spending my life all out
And if it seems like I'm rushing, then I'll sleep on the couch
MC, it's your call
I'm ready to ball and if you need me, I'm ready to brawl
And that's forever by law
Together we ball, we takin' it all
I make you feel the way a woman never felt before
I seen women on many levels, never hot and young
With a body like that, that face no flaw
You got to be heaven-sent, sayin' you's a dime
You off the meter and a seven then
You like the way I rhyme
Yes shine, I'm a veteran
Picture me and honey spending money like whatever then
We both got it
Why don't you
Stay a little while, child
(Stay)
Stay a little while... child
(Mmm, why don't you)
Stay a little while, child
(Stay)
Stay a little while... child
(Ooh)
There's no need to act surprised
'Cause there's no room to serve this right
So let's push love to the limit and life to the edge
I've only one request of you
Stay awhile
I'd give my all to have just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

He Kept The Love Alive
How clearly I recall the night that I fell in love
You was the star that fell from above.
You became the stardust in my eyes
Leaving me totally hypnotized.
All my life I had searched for you
God saw my pain and followed through.
I had became so blindly in love
That I did not see, that you was trying to talk to me.
Then your words like knives cut deep into my soul
How much pain can my heart hold.
You say you love me, but that it’s good-bye
And walk away with tears in your eyes.
Is it something I’ve done to make you change?
I’ll accept that- I’ll take the blame.
Now I learn that a child you are bearing
Did you’d think that I’d stop caring?
It is the best news that I have heard
But you didn’t tell me, you wouldn’t say a word.
Now I have a reason to double my love
For you’ve been blessed from above.
You now carry a new life, and a new
Love that will grow.
The bond will be stronger, this much I know.
Give our love a chance to live
Between us we have so much to give.

I Want My Love To Rest Tonight
Sisters, dont blame my man too much,
I know hes doing his best.
I know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was brought up by us women,
And the world that told him to be a man.
He reached and stretched to be the one
While millions more tried to be that one.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.
Sisters, dont blame your man to much,
You know hes doing his best.
You know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls,
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears.
He sees girls chasing after superstars,
While their men are sitting behind bars.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.
Sisters, dont blame our men to much,
We know theyre doing their best.
We know their fear and loneliness,
They can do no more, no less.
They were told by us to get ahead,
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong.
Nothing short of a living god,
Nothing short of james bond.
If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed,
But that the society is to be blamed.
We could then come together again
And direct our energies towards changing the world.
Were all blind and crippled mates,
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states.
We dont know how to cope with ourselves,
Or to love our mates for being themselves.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.

Okoe
A deep sleep fell upon man and,
There came a vision of a poem like this to toch you;
A deep sleep fell upon Abram and,
The law was given to him;
A deep sleep fell upon Adam and,
Out of him came Eve;
But Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.
Okoe, Hagar was an Egyptian maidservant;
But you are mine forever!
So come straight into my arms of love and,
Let us crown the day with the sweet muse of love.
I am in love with you and i will be there for you,
So let this sleep also fall upon us to swing the muse;
For in your bed i will lay always.

Tonight's The Night
Tonight’s the night,
I said in my head,
I don’t care anymore,
I wish I was dead.
Tonight’s the night,
I thought deep inside,
I haven’t the energy,
To keep trying to hide.
Tonight’s the night,
I said out loud,
So I took the pills;
Not feeling proud.
Tonight’s the night,
I thought for sure,
This pain won’t end,
There is no cure.
Tonight’s the night,
Or so I thought,
I hadn’t taken enough pills;
I was soon taught.
Tonight’s not the night,
I thought as I was sick,
I’ve achieved nothing,
I feel like a prick.
Tonight’s not the night,
I told my friend,
I can’t stand this nightmare,
Will it ever end?
Tonight’s not the night,
My friend said to me,
He’s over the moon,
But I just want to be free.

I Need You Tonight
How can I show you?
I take back what I told you.
cause something happens when I hold you,
And that makes everything all right.
And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
I just need you tonight.
I wrote all I can write.
I just need you tonight.
In need you tonight.
Secrets I keep here.
Buried so very deep here.
If only somehow you could sleep here,
Youd make everything all right.

When I Came Home This Morning
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
When I came home this morning
I got your letter and what it said
I didnt understand
You told me it was over -- au revoir -- see you again sometime
I didnt understand
And overleaf you tell me that you love me...
Meet me on the corner
The usual time -- the usual place
I will be there
Meet me on the corner
Ill see you coming -- then Ill be sure
Sure youll be there
Oh and I wanna tell you that I love you...
I see your face -- I see the night
I love you -- I love you
And deep in my sleep I see your eyes
I love you -- I love you
I stood on the corner
All the cars went sweeping by
Did somebody call me -- no there was no one there
Well Ill go on waiting -- perhaps tomorrow
Another day -- I will be there
Oh and I wanna tell you that I love you...

Give Me The Night
(craig safan)
Theme from the picture corvette summer
Simple dreams and crazy schemes
All cant come true
Hear what Im saying
My love is with you
This fire between us
If only you might
Give me the night tonight
Give me the night
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Oh, boulevards of broken dreams
Now, dont be depressed, oh
Now were together
And were riding the crest
Im full of your passion
And you know the rest
So give me the night tonight
Give me the night
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, night, yes night, is better
Oh, having you than having night
Oh, our life, our life together
Oh, it fills me with joy that wont stop
(give me the night)
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, hoo, my hearts on ice
Oh, come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, hoo, my hearts on ice
Ah, come to me, care for me
Ooh, ah, ha
Give me the night tonight

Childless Couples Gift
the childless couple pray every day
that a child will come their way.
they tried everything to conceive
and at night, she sits and bereaves.
they go to doctors and clinics
and do all sorts of tests
they do everything they're told
and give it their best.
they showed people what they
expected them to see.
but! their pain is the harsh reality.
hiding the pain that was embedded so deep
but! it was a pain they could not defeat.
they knew they had a couple of options left
either a surrogate mother, or to adopt.
although they knew that the final
decision would be theirs.
they spoke about it hours on end
spoke with family and their friends.
they decided to take a trip to ' boys town'
and speak with others who had been turned down.
speaking with children who were still
looking to be part of a family
and ' how they would search the adoption history'
they asked: do most people looking to adopt
seem to be put on a spot?
a young boy of about twelve, decided to speak.
he said: most adopting parents seek a young child
because they think that an older one
is not worth their while.
they think that there must be a reason
that the older child was not taken.
but! they don't know how much they're mistaken.
we older children have learned right from wrong
and have gone through heartbreak the same as you.
so! ' what are we supposed to do.'
to hide our heads in the ground
never to be found?
we can love and be loved the same as you
and in your hearts ' you know it's true.'
so if you are coming with that thought in mind
there are hundreds here that you will find.
his tears started rolling down his eyes
as he was walking away.
when he heard the mans voice say
' wait a minute my son, for you are the one.
you are what we've been seeking
and our love you'll be keeping.
just give us a chance to prove you're right
for you are GODS gift- this very night.

Prayer is Life
Prayer is life,
Life is prayer,
Prayer gives me strength,
Strength to face
All the problems
Of this world.
Prayer brightens my day,
It gives me sound sleep at night.
I abide in My Saviour,
And humbly I rest.
Prayer makes me strong
To defeat Satan.
Prayer continues unceasingly,
It does not stop
In the morning or at noon.
It goes on and on,
Until sleep shuts my eyes.
O, that blessed life
Of prayer,
I long for the
Sweet life.

Unforgiving Love
one day a blue bird fell in love with a white rose..the rose was envious of everybod falling in love and was afraid that she will get hurt..the blue bird told her that he had loved her from afar but was too scared to tell the white rose how much he actaully did...the white rose told the bird when my petals turn from white to red i will fall in love with you back....the blue bird came by and by everyday and told the white rose how much he loved her...until one day the blue bird cut his wings and soaked the white rose with his blood...the white rose's petals turned from white to a luscious red and she realized how much the blue bird loved her..but it was too late the blue bird fell in front of the rose and the rose was red forever..that's why roses are giving to the ones we loved

Do What You Gotta Do
Sorry I lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
I said Im sorry i
Lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
I was always on the phone in the bathroom
You were always in the kitchen at the sink
Girl I was always tryna find a way to tell you
Im havin relations and its gettin kinda deep
Now even though weve been together for a long time
Girl you know and I know things are not the same
Before we go on any longer wasting all this time
I gotta let you know Im bout to make a change im...
Sorry I lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
I said Im sorry i
Lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
You were always in the bedroom watchin tv
I was always downstairs on the couch
While you were always undecided on a movie
I was always tryna get up out this house
And then I noticed how you always went to sleep
When it was
Time for you
To give that a** to me
And then you wonder why a brotha wants to creep
Well its time to let you know I got someone who feels me
Sorry I lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
I said Im sorry i
Lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
Somethings goin on
Somethings goin on where did we go wrong
What happened to the love I used to get at home
You be on my mind used to be my dime
Used to spend time talkin on the phone
But now that things have changed
Im jumpin in my range
And rollin out
Sorry I lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do
I said Im sorry i
Lied to u
But Im not sorry
That I fell deep
In love with her
So baby
Do what u gotta do

I Cried Again
The little tear that fell down my cheek
drew an ocean to the people below
they swam and swam untill they go tired
then they went to the black of their homes
they cried themselves to sleep that night
in the heat of the night they did sleep
awaiting the sandman to come give them their dreams
and to dream a dream of the deep
the depth of the waters hidden inside my tears
creating the ocean of which they do swim
without them ill die a slow suicide
the droubt of the midst of my tears
waiting just waiting for the tears of the night
awaiting the pain of my cries
as if i dont cry ill simply just die
so i must keep bringng the tears
but tonight i tried to cry again
bringing the emotions of the past
watching and waiting, watching and waiting
of the little peoples dreaming to last
but they did not appear from the mist of my tears
they did not attract to the swimming
as if they had entered the door of my heart
swimming off all of the good feelings
stay little ones swim off my dreams, swim as if never felt water
my tears are now gone and no misses all along
just a smile blessed into deep slumber
