All The Befores

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Thought I could make it
Without you
Thought I could walk away
And never look back
Thought I had the secret
To stop these eyes from crying
Told myself he were no good
So whats the need in trying
But as you see, here I am
Loving you stronger than ever
Promising to be better
Getting into my head
I dont know how
To be nothing but yours
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
I wrote a nice long letter
Explaining my reasons for leaving
Hoping it would tear you apart
And leave you grieving
I bet you didnt even read it
Youre so familiar with the lines
You just glanced up at the clock
cause you knew the exact time Id knock
Without pride
Here I stand
Waiting for your forgiveness
This is where I belong
Come what may
This time Ill stay
You might as well lock all the doors
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
Promising to be better
And getting into my head
I dont know how to be nothing but yours
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores

What I Learned From Loving You

Sometimes I still think of you
Love thats gone by and the things that I do.
Time heals hearts, so they all say
Passing of years slowly pulls the pain away
Oh, theres still a little tenderness
Left in everything I do
Its what I learned from loving you.
Its what I learned from loving you.
Times have changed, I have changed too
Even my eyes turned a deeper shade of blue
I guess its all that crying we went through
Its what I learned from loving you.
Its what I learned from loving you.
Well, I had too much to learn
To hold on to someone like you
It took losing you to make me see
The man you needed me to be.
I dont cry though were apart
And some day soon someone else
Will need this heart
Oh, next time Im gonna know
When a love is true
Its what I learned from loving you.
Its what I learned from loving you...

They Dont Break em Like They Used To

(roger brown/jason sellers)
Youre here in my arms right where you say you wanna be
While across the room I watch the one who set you free
It didnt take me long to mend the heart she tore in two
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
I bet she thought that wounded pride of yours would never heal
But you dont have one single scar as far as I can feel
And I see nothing but perfection when I look at you
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
All the tears have disappeared without a trace
Makes me think that heartaches dont last as long these days
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
I guess they just dont break em like they used to

A Simple Thing Like Cry

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Dont you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now youre trying to tell me
That my dreams just wont come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didnt hurt me
If I didnt love you
Hurt me

Youre All I Need To Get By

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
When I was just a little girl
I wanted the world at my feet
Now all thats changed
cause I have love
And now I do can see
Youre all I need to get by
Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With arms open wide
I threw away my pride
Ill sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you
I will go, where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when you lose your will
Ill be there to push you up the hill
Theres no, no looking back for us
Weve got love
Sure enough
Thats enough
Youre all I need to get by
All, youre all I need to get by
Like an mother protects his nest
For you Ill do my best
Stand by you like a tree
Dare anybody to try to move me
Darling in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
Dont know whats in store
But together we can open any door
Just to do whats good for you
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a woman
Out of a soul that didnt have a goal
cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
Youre all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into
Youre all I need to get by
All, youre all I need to get by

Maybe Just Once

I cant believe
That what I feel
Is finally happening to me
Make it hurt
And point a finger
At my insecurites
Well I guess I just dont understand
About those complexities in your mind
And I guess I just dont understand
Why this world seems so unkind
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So once again
The way you feel
Youll never ever stay the same
And Im to blame
I wonder just who made
The rules up for this game
Well I guess I just dont understand
About what you want and what you need
And I guess I just dont understand
About why this is how it has to be
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So go around
You say those thousand things
You think you have to say
Look at me
And tell me loves not such
A hard word word anyway
Well how can you can count on me
I thought you realized for sure
And how can you just believe
I thought I deserved a little more
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
Oh god
Whats coming
Oh god
Whats coming to me

One Night Stand

Let me tell you.....
Jennys getting her stuff in my room
Puts on her skirt and shes looking good
Six am and shes leaving soon
Says what a crazy night I had
A real good time
But her kiss tells me its goodbye
Just like nothing happened last night
But if I had one chance
Id do it all over again
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand
I dont think shes coming back for more
No no
Now Im left up in my lonely room
She left her underwear and her perfume
I never thought that it could be this good
And I still feel a little on my fingertips
Im trying hard not to feel rejected
Maybe the phone lines disconnected
But if I had one chance
Id do it all over again
I know it
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand but Id do it all again for sure
Oh yeah
Baby like a blind man I rushed in
Now do I have the right to ask you,
Will you be coming back again?
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand but Id do it all again for sure
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I know it, yeah

Finding Me

I dont think you notice
When you see my face
I guess youre waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But youre coming back again
You dont mean to waste my time
But youre coming back so
Chorus
Dont tell me
How to be
cause I like some suffering
Dont ask me
What I need
Im just fine
Here finding me
Me
Ive already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who Im talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know its touching
But Ive been out of touch
And its all that I can do
Im a sight for my sore eyes
But its all I am so
Chorus
I dont think you notice
When I cant reach out
I guess youre waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
Its all been said before
Im hearing something
But I wish youd just say more
But youre going off again
When I try to just hold on
But youre going off so

Tatters

Some couples live in harmony
Some do not
Some couples yell and scream
Some do not
But what you said was something
That I cant forget
It echoes in my head
Like a bullet made of lead
Some people yell and scream
And some do not
Some people sacrifice their lives
And some do not
Some people wait for sleep
To take them away
While others read books endlessly
Hoping problems will go away
I know youre hoping everything
Works out
Neither one of us is
The type who shouts
You sleep in the bedroom
While I pace up and down the hall
Our baby stares at both of us
Wondering which one of us to call
I guess its true that not
Every match burns bright
I guess its true
Not all that I say is right
But what you said still bounces
Around in my head
Who thought this could happen to us
When we first went to bed
Im told in the end
That none of this matters
All couples have troubles
And none of this matters
But what you said
Still echoes in my head
And Im still in the hallway
Downstairs sleeping alone instead
I know you dont care
But heres my last thought
Not that it matters
But heres the last thing I thought
Our little thing is lying
Here in tatters
And you my dear
Dont have any manners
Sad to leave this way
To leave it all in tatters
Saddening to leave this way
To leave it all in tatters
I suppose that we all could say
That nothing of it matters
Still its sad
To see everything in tatters

I'm Sorry Mom

I’m sorry mom for the things I put you through
I’m sorry mom for not doing the things you wanted me to do
I’m sorry mom for leaving you so soon
I’m sorry mom for that call you got that afternoon
Leaving you was the last thought on mind
Just like so many I guess it was just my time

I thought about you the last minutes of my life
I thought about my son and I even thought about my wife
But momma I can imagine how this must be for you
Because I see you when you are alone
When nobody else do

I don’t want you to feel so much pain
There’s really no one to blame
Tell dad to stop grieving
I see his pain as well

I almost didn’t make it
Yall know the life I live
But I had a second chance
And the Lord heard my prayer

My life wasn’t taking instance
I had time to repent
I ask the lord to wash my sins
And show me a better way
He opens up new doors for me
And here is where I stay
So tell everyone who doubted me
I made it anyway

I’m sorry mom for leaving you, without saying goodbye
I’m sorry mom for hurting you, I still see you cry
I’m sorry mom, but be happy for I got my wings its true
Something no one thought Mousey will ever do,
So the next time I see you crying it’s my wing that will be holding you

I’m so sorry mom, and I will always, always love you.

Guess I Just Lost My Head

I really dont mean to stare
I was only trying to memorize you there
You know I meant no harm
Its just that the starlight in your eye
Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
Im sure its very clear
(*) I dont know whats goin down
Youre gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that
(**) I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we dont really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Wont you tell me youll forgive me
I dont mean to intrude
Its just that I dont want to break this mood
(dont want to break this mood here tonight)
And if I hold your hand its just cause
Theres something in the things you say
That wraps me up and really puts me away
But everybody knows
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Repeat (*)
I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
(Ive got the feeling inside)
I know we dont really know each other
(and I love you)
So pardon the things I said
(I need your loving tonight)
Wont you tell me youll forgive me
Guess I lost it
Guess I lost it
I guess I just lost my head
(cause youve been making me crazy)
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we dont really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Wont you tell me youll forgive me

I Thought I Told You That (feat. Faith Evans)

Theres a boy that Im into, hes so fly, so cute
I dreamt of, him every night, he had me, on cloud nine
Thought I could trust him, why?, he said to me when I needed him
He was there for me, then I found out he did the same
For every girl, with a pretty face
I just wanted to believe that
He was so innocent, so sweet
He did everything for me and
People told me all along, he was wrong
But I was so naive
Dont let him do to you what he did to me
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
He played me the whole time, thats why Im warning you
Im not the jealous type
cause Ive already been there done that
And nothing that he says will make me want him back
It does matter what he sends me
A dozen flowers or a diamond thats bling bling
Its all good but Im not the one to be staying home while hes having fun
I just wanted to believe that
He was so innocent, so sweet
He did everything for me and
People told me all along, he was wrong
But I was so naive
Dont let him do to you what he did to me
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought i told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
Girlfriend, Im just trying to make you see
That its not about you, its not about me
You cant let him get the best of you this way
You gotta love yourself and just walk away
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone

Fool For You

(rod stewart)
By the time you read this letter
Ill be outta your life
Gone forever more
But guess Ill survive
Im gonna leave my records
And a forwarding address
Aint you glad honey
That Im offa your chest
You said you wanted paris
Rome n st. tropez
Perfume by chanel
And a ring by cartier
But I gave you headaches
With my old fashioned ways
But thats all irrelevant
To what Im tryin to say
Im a fool for you baby
Pride wont let me stay
Im a fool for you honey
And Ill come back any day
Guess Ill always love you all my life
You can keep your streisands
Bardots and lorens
Youre my everything
But now youre my end
It may be over
But just before I go
I can make a new start
But I cant mend a broken heart
So when I read about you
In all the national press
On the arm of so and so
I may get depressed
Cause I tried to love you
But didnt fit in
I came on the dust
Ill leave on the wind
Im a fool for you baby
My pride wont let me stay
Im a fool for you honey
Ill come back any day
Im a fool for you baby
I dont care what your friends say
Im a fool for you honey
And thats the way Ill stay
I guess Ill always love you all my life

Something On My Mind

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Somethings on my mind
Its been troubling me a long long time
Now I think it would best
If you knew
Just how much Im in love with you
I dont think its fair
You walk by and pretend Im not there
Boy dont you know
What youre putting me through
And just how long Ive been wanting you
Ive waited patiently
For you to come to me
And Ive stood in long as I can
Now Ive got to know
Got to know just where I stand
And I hope youre gonna say
All this time youve been feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasnt been in vain
Baby dont you know
And I hope youre gonna say
All this time you were feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasnt been in vain
Somethings on my mind
Just how much I need you baby
Ah somethings on my mind
Thats been troubling me a long long time
Baby baby, somethings on my mind

While You Were Gone

Hmm, whoa, yeah, oh baby, hmm, oh
I read you wrong
You said youd only be away a while
But the days turned into weeks
And all the weeks into miles
Baby why?
You couldve told me you were telling me goodbye
Couldve come clean and let me walk away in style, oh
Funny thing is
While I was missing you
While I was figuring what I was gonna do
1 - I got wise, I got hip
I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby
While you were gone
Now Im cool, cant you tell
Feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Oh, you looked surprised
Like no one ever left you and survived, no
Well leaving me alone has kind of opened my eyes
Baby you, you gave me the time to find somebody new
And I found strength inside me I never knew, oh
Funny thing is
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Repeat 1
Repeat 1 with ad-libs by kelly
Didnt freak, didnt cry
I just held my head up high
I learned how to say goodbye
While you were gone
Had time on my hands
Baby dont you understand
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Had nothing but time on my hands
Learned how to understand boy
Got over you, got over you, oh
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Oh baby
Repeat 1
While you were gone, oh
Learned to lie, learned a lesson
Learned how to get along, learned how to be strong
Learned how to love myself, while you were gone, ooh, oh

Can I Go On?

Written & composed: quincy jones, nickolas ashford & valerie simpson
Music: quincy jones, nickolas ashford & valerie simpson
Lose it? lose it?
I dont even know the first thing about what theyre feeling;
What am I afraid of?
Dont know what Im made of,
Can I go on, not knowing?
Feeling? feeling?
Something tells me that its more than I can deal with;
Tho I never knew the song,
Some words still catch on like caring,
And sharing being together, no matter,
Can I go on not knowing?
Dont know what Im made of,
Why am I afraid of
Feel-ing? feel-ing? if I dare to take a chance,
Would someone lead me?

Ready To Meet Him

[talking]
Please give me the strength I need to live...
Bear with me
Amen
We each walk the path, that weve chosen
[chorus]
Im ready to meet him,
Were Im living aint right
Black hate white
White hate black
Its right back
To the same fight
They got us suspecting a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord
Lord, you left me stranded
And I dont know why
Told me to live my life,
Now Im ready to die
Ready to fly
I cry, but I shed no tears
You told me you would dead those fears, its been years
Snakes still coming at me
Just missing
Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen
I thought that I was special
Thats what you told me
Hold me
Stop acting like you dont know me
Whatd I do so bad that it sent you away from me
Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me
(my child Im here, as Ive always been, it was you who went away,
And now are back again, what did I say? )
Follow your word, and be true
(what did you do? )
Wellwhat I wanted to do...
(what have you seen? )
Darkness and hell at a glance
(what do you want? )
All I want is another chance
Chorus
(just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,
All you gotta do is knock)
Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a man
Full grown, and Im still not able to stand
(I gave you a hand)
Well...but I was looking the wrong way
Figured out the plan, then I started to pray
And that prayer, took me from here to over there
Back to over here,
Now they got me like where?
Do I belong?
Do I fit in?
Things on my mind, where do I begin?
Its easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
Im really tryin to win, so where do we start?
(thou shall not steal)
But, what if he stole from me?
(thou shall not kill)
But what if hes tryin to kill me?
(thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,
Withstand the pain)
Chorus
Our father, who art in heaven
Im not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just saw, Im ridin with the lord
Cause I really cant afford to lose my head by the sword
And now that Ive seen, what I need to see
Please take me, where I need to be
(what have you learned? )
Its better to tell the truth than to lie
(what have you learned? )
To love my life until I die
(what have you learned? )
Violence isnt always the key
(what have you learned? )
You cant always believe what you see
(what have you learned? )
Its better to forgive and forget
(what have you learned? )
Give as you expect to get
(what have you learned? )
That I cant go on without you
(what have you learned? )
I musta been a fool to ever doubt you
Chorus
Im ready to meet him

What You Gave Me

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Youve given me so much warmth
I dont see how I could ever grow cold
In my mind theres a picture of you and i
That nobody has the price to buy
I dont know what made you change your mind
But youll be back
Its just a matter of time
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
Ooh, baby
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yeah, into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Though I know youre leaving
But I wont be grieving
cause time has a way of showing us
The things that we really need
And no matter where you go
I know youll find your way back home
cause though I know its not reality
Youll always be a part of me
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last

Born Yesterday

The first quiet breath of the day
Recalls the night
And as I reflect on the pain
Through tears gone dry
Am I as blind as I remind myself
Or did I depend on a dried up wishing well
Only till the end of time
Is through
I will keep
A burning torch for you
Born yesterday
Thought I knew enough
Ive never felt this way
Born yesterday
Guess youre not so tough
All hearts dont break the same
Now everything seems to have
A smoother edge
But what really changed was
Suspicion in my head
Was I relieved at my naive display
Put to rest a question I never could explain
You could fool me for a hundred years
But now I wont be
Tortured by my fears
I wasnt born yesterday
Thought I knew enough
Ive never felt this way
Born yesterday
Guess youre not so tough
All hearts dont break the same
I finally cut the cord
And all that went with it
And nothing is all I have to give
I didnt know
How good it could feel
Just to live

Carolea

She came to the coast from the show me state
With her daddys blue eyes and her mamas blind hate
Guess she didnt know much but she knew the rules
What she needed to learn, she would find in l.a.
Not back in that school
Didnt wanna read about it
Guess she wanted to see
Carolea, shes carolea
Yeah, yeah, never quite sure what she wanted to be
Just a little girl alone in a big bad place
With a devious mind and a beautiful face
Ever since she was a baby she learned how to play
Wanted money in her hands from the easiest way
All her friends said, stop girl, you cant pay the price
But the hard way out dont appeal to the beast inside
She dont wanna hear about the better life
Guess shes ready to be
Hey, carolea
She never tells the truth to the folks back east
Truth about the drugs and the men she gets paid to please
Well they dont know
Yeah, they dont see
Yeah, that finally now after all these years
Shes let the beast inside roam free

Only When I Had You

(song lyrics. maybe this marks the end of my writer's block. i sure do hope so)

i guess this is the end
of everything that we once knew
and now we're moving on
except i'm not moving anywhere
i'm stuck right here to wait for you
to turn around and laugh again
and tell me that you knew

you knew i'd be okay
you knew i had the strength to wake up everyday
especially when i had you
you knew i'd stand up strong
you knew i had the strength to make it on my own
but you never knew..

i guess this is the end
of my dreamless nights and wakeful eyes
my nightmares come right back
and you still walk away
i lay right here and die today
because you. turned. away...

and you thought..
you thought i'd be okay
you thought i had the strength to wake up everyday
but only when i had you
you thought i'd stand up strong
you thought i had the strength to make it on my own
