Byblos
I saw her once before; she didnt turn me on.
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.
And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,
We sat and talked all night at byblos.
She talked of feelings that I knew were true.
She painted me a picture using every shade of blue
It was light with laughter, at times it made me cry,
And now Ill never know just why I didnt ever try to hold her;
To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her.
Then, soon she had to go;
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through.
And then I realized,
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call.
I thought that I would see her
The next night,
Anticipating how Id set myself right.
Then, I went back to byblos;
I sat there and waited,
Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated.
Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same
Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.
Then a person came in to the club
That I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And I thought she understood
But I guess she thought I was jiving her around
Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,
He was happening, I guess it was his time.
I really couldnt blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.
But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew shed do him good too.
Then I went home and I got it on,
Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.
And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew
Where she was, so I could give her a call,
And I found out that she was right down the hall,
Not too far away,
But thats ok, Ill just wait for the day when I can see her again
And spend some time.

Always On My Mind/in My House
(thompson/james/christopher/tennant/lowe)
--------------------------------
Maybe I didnt treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didnt love you quite as often as I could
Little things I shouldve said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didnt hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, Im so happy that youre mine
If I made you feel second best, Im so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied
Little things I shouldve said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

You were on my mind and in my dreams
I should have stopped to make you see
You were always...

Dont Say Goodnight, Say Good Morning
Thought we could make it on our own
Looks like we didnt get too far
Love has found its way back home
Guess time just couldnt change
The way we are
That old feeling comes so easy
When your bodys close to mine
I think our crazy hearts have finally made their
Always one more time
Chorus:
Dont say good night, say good morning
We can make it this time if we try
Dont say good night, say good morning
And in the morning
Never say goodbye
The nights ours and were alone
I know Ive wasted too much time
Chasing rainbos that I could never run out
Ive come back to make you mine
Dont let the morning come too early
Dont leave me here to face the day
Take me in your arms and never let me go
And dont let the feelings slip away
Repeat chorus x2

Another Saturday Night
Thought Id seen some changes
Thought I knew it well
But through my back pages
Theres a tale to tell
Guess when I saw you
I didnt have a chance
Though I know her reputation
I know I liked that first dance
Was this a real love
Or just another hot saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot saturday night?
Cant stop from thinkin
What we could do
Just one night there
I finally knew
Lookin at the distance
Between you and my heart
I never knew Id fall
Right from the start
Was this a real love
Or just another hot saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot saturday night?
This is one time you cant walk away-
This time Ive got to stay..................

Why Didn't You Call Me
We went out one night
Everything went right
We got something started
It was outta sight
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you again
Bt the phone I wait
String into space
Thinking about our first kiss
Out on our first date
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you again
Why don't you call me again?
And I'm gonna ask
When I see you again
Thought you would be my man my lover my friend
I never thought it would end so quickly
It would end
I've resorted to
Hanging up on you
I know you know it's me
How else will I talk to you
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you again
Why don't you call me again?
And I'm gonna ask
When I see you again
Thought you would be my man my lover my friend
I never thought it would end so quickly
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you
I thought I'd see you
I thought I'd see you again

Everybody Knows
I got your number right off the wall
Bristol 285 wont you give me a call
Well I was 15 thought I was hot
I didnt know if youd see me or not
And that night as we stepped out
We were hand in hand
But my friends all seemed to know you
I couldnt understand
That everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game
You seemed so shy so all alone-y
Without any hint of ever being phony
But then the little things that came to light
Like the strange hours you worked late at night
And as we laid in your bed that night
You made me feel like a king
Then as I looked into your eyes
I heard that telephone ring
And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
But nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
Oh no, they dont want to know your game again
(instrumental)
And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
Nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
And everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game

A Good Time
Time was once just a clock to me
And life was just a book a biography
Success was something you just had to be
And I would spend myself unknowingly
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
And all Id have to lose is my point of view
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
An apple will spoil if its been abused
A candle disappears when its been used
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane
And I cant leave forever on a train
And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again
And all Id have to lose is my vanity
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when you sat and talked with me.
You can smile for the lack of something else to do
And no one will laugh and point a finger at you
If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?
I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along
Till you said something neither of us knew
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.

Once apon a time I dreamt that you were mine. But I never expected that dream to come true. And now you're in my arms, and we're walking to your home. And all I can think about is you. Hey, do you have to go away just yet? Hey wait I think I really must confess that you looked really good last night. Last night. Last night. We talked about this think that only God could bring into our lonely lives. And you and I've just seen we fit together perfectly. And now I'm doin' alright. Hey, do you have to go away just yet? Hey wait I think I really must confess that you looked really good last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night.

I Couldnt Wait Forever
I couldnt wait forever
Did you expect me to
I guess you thought Id never
Find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises
As long as I could
I couldnt wait forever
The way you thought I would
The lonely nights grew longer
As I prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that youd return
And thats how I got by
The agony of loneliness
Just got too much for me
I couldnt wait forever
Needing love so desperately
So I found new lips to kiss me
New arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness
To fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted
Now my heart has found a new home
I couldnt wait forever
Forevers just too long
I couldnt wait forever
Forevers just too long

One More Night
No jacket required, 1985
One more night, one more night
Ive been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I cant wait forever
Ive been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe youre not alone
Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
I know therell never be a time youll ever feel the same
And I know its only words
But if you change your mind you know that Ill be here
And maybe we both can learn
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever

Betrayal
There is this boy I know
Who is my whole entire world.
I am truly lucky
To be his own very special girl.
He doesn't know how much
He means to me;
More than the sky,
More than the sea,
More than the air,
We so ungratefully breathe.
He doesn't know
When he's not there,
The life around me
Becomes completely bare.
Everything else just turns to gray.
No wonder every day is just okay.
Now yet another comes along,
Why must everything always go wrong?
Every day it seems I fight,
For me to be what he thinks at night.
Another girl to take him from me.
There is no way that could possibly be.
I love him more than anyone else ever could.
Who would get in the way of that?
She would...
Our anniversary passed,
With nothing good to last.
I knew she liked you,
But did you know, too?
She kept on flirting,
Inside I was hurting,
Because I knew it must be true.
She really, truly likes you.
I wish she wouldn't care
Not even notice you're there.
Because now I know
I cannot ever let you go.
I've always trusted you
That everything you said was true
Just not her, wouldn't even try.
Has everything she said been a lie?
I knew it all along.
Did I ever do anything wrong?
I know she's your friend
But anything else needs to end.
Just a friend to you,
And that may be true,
But to her something more.
Please let her walk out the door.
I tried to be nice,
Say you could be friends,
For her, that would not suffice.
So now, I want it to end.
It's gone way too far
To go on any longer.
If you stay with her,
Your relationship will just get stronger.
Just let her go!
Do you want her or me?
If you say her
Then let me be.
If you say me
Then let her fall!
Don't care anymore.
I was right, after all.
I should be mad at you
Because you led her on,
Is it possible you could be true?
If not, before long I'll be gone.
Is it too good to be true?
Could you really be mine?
I guess not, though,
Because this is the second time.
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you even care?
Why did you pretend,
You would always be there?
You were my friend.
I trusted you.
I thought you were different.
I thought you were true.
I guess I was mistaken.
I guess I was wrong.
Last thing I have to say,
Is I knew all along.
You liked him,
You used me,
To get even closer,
How stupid could you be?
There'll be no apologies,
Or 'Wait that isn't fair.'
Life isn't fair.
And guess what?
I don't care.

The Greatest Man I Never Knew
The greatest man I never knew
Lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello
But never touched at all
He was in his paper
I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
The greatest man I never knew
Came home late every night
He never had too much to say
Too much was on his mind
I never really knew him
And now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years
And the memories to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard
I guess Ill never hear
The man I thought could never die
Sbeen dead almost a year
He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew

About Last Night
Morning came before I knew
Just what I had gotten into
Glanced around in the bright light
I really couldnt care if it was wrong or right
Love can only break you heart
But youre never gonna know unless you give it a start
Sometimes, you gotta let yourself go
1:
Was it good for you? about last night
Was it way too soon? you didnt put up a fight
Was it good for you? I wont ask again
See about last night, I want to do it again
I know sometimes its worth the wait
Im not the type to hesitate
No more feelings all night long
I really couldnt care if I came on too strong
Experience just says it all
You gotta make a move just as soon as you fall
Oh, sometimes, you gotta let yourself go
Repeat 1 x4
Was it good for you? (was it good? )
Was it way to soon? (it never felt so right)
Was it good for you?
See about last night
Was it good for you?
Was it way too soon?
Was it good for you?
See about last night

Borrowed Time

I wanted to fight but it was too great, too great to fight it
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess

I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cause you opened my eyes but with the light out
I couldnt see it
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess
Im the fool I guess
I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cause though you have deceived her
You knew that shed wait
Shed wait forever

Didnt know that you could not be mine

I Thought She Knew
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Whoa I'll never understand it
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Whoa I guess I should have told her

Strangers Eyes
All alone, a rainy night
No one around but I fell someone watching me
I look around, the street is bare nobody there
I wonder what it could be
As I turned to walk away
Suddenly I saw his face
Never minding that we were alone
Didnt care about the time, at the moment I was felling fine
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looking into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
Like a scene out of a dream, I cant believe it
Kind of strange and familiar
But in his eyes I get a sign, I get a feeling
I get the feeling he knows me
Maybe I could stay a while, maybe I could make you smile
I dont have much to do
Maybe we could walk awhile
Maybe, maybe we could talk awhile
Cant help looking into strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
How was I to know this would happen
Thought I didnt know I would meet this stranger
Its the kind of thing that dreams are made of
And I keep thinking about strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came to me)
He came and captured me

Valentines 05
I never would have let you in, if I woulda knew bout this wirlwind, you had me in
As spins over and over and over and over again
thought you were my bestfriend
It had been 4 1/2 years and the past 4 were the happiest
How could you let this shit happen?
we had more than just passion and a high sense of fashion
and we connected through rappin
Planned to live happily ever after
Husband and wife together
Thought we were so right together
Guess not if I had to write this letter
Hope you two have a happy life together
I shouldn't have had the time to write this ryhme on Valentine's Day
You shoulda been mine
Holdin me tight, lovin me right on Valentine's Day
why you aint come home last night?
This is a shitty life
Im tired of tryin, tired of cryin
Its about time to say goodbye
Fed up wit the lonely nights
You should have been by my side, lovin me right on Valentine's Day
2x's
Prayed at night to get it right
for you and I
Seemed like no matter how hard I tried
You I could never satisfy
Maybe I was no longer your type
Too bad though I thought you were mine
Yea it hurt deep inside, I cant lie
Not even in pen and paper will i deny
Guess the love we shared was bound to die
Your true colors were shown more than twice
You never tried to make any place a home
Guess thats why you had to roam
Temptation is a bitch
and I woulda let it go
but you couldnt get pass scatchin that itch
wit that broke down hoe
I found the pictures had to laugh at the bitch
I got way more than ass on that bitch
She's over 30 and she dirty dont know the half of your shit
and she cant even have your kids
told you bout karma its a bitch
I've been much calmer since
you been gone, I'm not angry
that's not the tone of this song
But since I had time to write that poem on Valentine's Day
And I held on a 1 1/2 pass Valentine's Day
felt it was right to speak my mind
No love lost with you and I
no one's perfect but you know I tried
Just lettin it go those feelings inside
Love you for life word is pride
But I think back on those lonely nights
And it only made me stronger so I could fight
Keep it tight and hold it down for Mr.Right
I shouldn't have had the time to write this ryhme on Valentine's Day
You shoulda been mine
Holdin me tight, lovin me right on Valentine's Day
why you aint come home last night?
This is a shitty life
Im tired of tryin, tired of cryin
Its about time to say goodbye
Fed up wit the lonely nights
You should have been by my side, lovin me right on Valentine's Day

That Heartbreaking Mistake
There was I time I thought
When everything was good
That he loved me
I loved him
And things were how they should.
Until one day he decides
To tell my friend a lie
But tell me its a joke
That didnt make sense
And for some time
It made me tense
So I returned his necklace
Gave it to my friend
Who told him
The relationship came to an end
So he became confused
As I'm feeling used
And now I cannot say
If I should break up with him today
I used to think he cared
But does he now?
He doesnt show it anymore
But I wish I knew somehow
He'd rather talk to other people
Other than me
Because he used to call me
At every moment possibly
But now when he
Can only talk for so long
He calls another
So I must have done something wrong
But what?
I ask myself
I gave all of me
But that must not be
Enough for he
Its very painful
When you've held on to it for so long
And you think to yourself now
What did I do wrong?
If I knew like this
That it would end
Then I still wonder
Why did I let it begin?
If he knew
For my sake
Hopefully,
He wouldn't have made
That heartbreaking mistake

You Look Good In My Shirt
When you walked up behind me and covered my eyes
And whispered in my ear, guess who
I rattled off names like I really didnt know
But all along I knew it was you
And, the longer we talked, the more we laughed
And wondered why we didnt last
It had been a long time, but later last night
Baby, we caught up real fast
And maybe its a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is youre sure looking
Good in my shirt
Thats right
You look good in my shirt
Well now Im not saying that we solved overnight
Every way that we went wrong
Oh, but what Im seeing Id sure love seeing
Every morning from now on
And maybe its a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is youre sure looking
Good in my shirt
Cmon now
Aww thats right
Oh you look so fine
And maybe its a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is youre sure looking
Good in my shirt
And maybe its a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is youre sure looking
Good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt

I Thought That We Were Still In Love
(liz vidal/tom snow)
Last night while we were talking the way that old friends do
I suddenly got lost in my yesterdays with you
I told you that in my heart you would always be the one
That Id lie waking in the dark, pray that you will come
But I didnt mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
Id forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Oh I knew just what Id done when you stood up so fast
And say the friends that wed become cant hold on to the past
You said its been a long long time since love came to an end
If I hadnt learned to draw the line, its useless to pretend
But I didnt mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
Id forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
I dont think I could take goodbye, that much is still the truth
Wont you forgive me just for one night, its what a friend would do
coz I didnt mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
Id forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Still in love
I thought that we were still in love

Strange
I was heading down the highway
Shes going my way
She climbed in, the next thing I knew
We started laughing and smoking,
We got to talking
Yeah, wed both been hurt a time or two
I knew she didnt love me
But I didnt think shed want me, no
Right there she took me
Underneath that sun, we became one
She said
Lifes a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
Im a little strange
A lot like you....
(lets ride)
Halfway to boston
She turned down the radio
Asked what I was looking for
Then I looked in her eyes,
For the first time I realized
I really didnt know anymore
Sometimes I think I want true love
Most times I feel like theres no one
But in the meantime hold me tight
Things will be alright
I said...
Lifes a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
Im a little strange
A lot like you....
(lets ride)
Solo
I pulled along the highway
The time had come to go our way
She took my hand, looked into my eyes
And said wont you hold me one more time
She said....
Lifes a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
Im a little strange a lot
Oh baby, a lot like you....
