The Balance Of Love
Price of your love's too much to pay
I'll save myself for another day
You want my love but you don't want me
You sell your goods with no guarantee
You're taxing me at your highest rate
You want my heart served on a plate
The balance of love is in the red
There's more to me than this double bed
The balance of love is now in the red
I'm fed up of empty promises
I won't let the grass grow under my feet
I've done my best to make our song complete
Your interest rate is much too low
You think that i've no life of my own
The days have gone for your macho values
I won't be walking in your shadows
You're taxing me at your highest rate
You want my heart served on a plate
The balance of love is in the red
There's more to me than this double bed
Plenty of fish are left in the sea
I seem to have picked a shark for me
The balance of love is now in the red
I'm fed up with the empty things you said
It's as if you've never heard of give and take
Must stop messing up me life make no mistake
It's as if you've never heard of give and take
Make no mistake
Give and take
Price of your kiss too much to pay
I'll save myself for another day
You want my love but you don't want me
You say it's a gift but it's just a loan
You thing that i've no life of my own
The balance of love is in the red
Plenty of fish are left in the sea
I seem to have picked a shark for me
The balance of love is now in the red
I'm fed up with the empty things you said
It's as if you've never heard of give and take
Must stop messing up my life make no mistake
It's as if you've never heard of give and take

Things To Be Balanced
Balance my heart between fast and slow beating rate,
Balance my wealth between the pauper and the rich state,
Balance my food between malnourished and overeating,
Balance my thought between weird and super serene.
Balance the car tyres to get aligned,
Balance the budget without any deficit,
Balance the love for the work and the family,
Balance the time between the recreations and duties.
Lord, Balance my posture of attitude at the altitude,
Balance my temperamental words when in multitude,
Balance the balance of deeds, on the judgment day,
by adding some good deeds or removing something bad.

Balance
What island is this that I'm on?
With no regrets that I'm desolate.
What is it that I gave up and glad is gone?
That left me with headaches from night 'till dawn!
I sought to seek...
And now I keep,
Within me deep...
A,
Balance!
More of it I needed than times before.
It was a...
Balance!
I had to give up the keeping of scores.
My balance!
Whatever it took I knew would challenge,
My wanting to just have balance.
Balance!
More of it I needed than times before.
It was a...
Balance!
I had to give up the keeping of scores.
My balance!
Whatever it took I knew would challenge,
My wanting to just have balance.
What island is this that I'm on?
With no regrets that I'm desolate.
What is it that I gave up and glad is gone?
That left me with headaches from night 'till dawn!
Balance!
More of it I needed than times before.
It was a...
Balance!
I had to give up the keeping of scores.
My balance!
Whatever it took I knew would challenge,
My wanting to just have balance.
And I had to distance from those shores.
Balance!
More of it I needed than times before.
It was a...
Balance!
I had to give up the keeping of scores.
My balance!
And I will keep this with me forevermore.
Balance.
I will keep this with me forevermore.
My balance!
And,
I will keep this with me forevermore.

My Mistake
(p. sawyer/g. jones)
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
First i had you
In the palm of my hand
But i let you slip through
Like rain to sand
At the beginning
When i didn't care
Like my own reflection
You were always there
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
You were sweeter
Then my very own skin
But what did i do for you
Not a thing
In front of my friends
You broke me down
Since then darling
It's hard to track you down
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
Many a smile
You put om ny face
But i paid dearly
With the tears i taste
My tenderness
Made you cold, not sweet
'cause if a girl loves you
You only call her weak
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world

Give Up
(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

Get The Balance Right.
Commitment is made, to live and love.
Don't let the colour fade, below or above.
You've got to give and take, right down the line.
If you don't, things will break everything that is going fine.
Admit when you are wrong, being right is not to pretend,
Balance the weak and strong, maintain the right blend.
Just remember, when life doesn't flow, balance the scales,
Deep inside you know, it never fails.

I Dont Want To Tie You Down
Sometimes its hard to look up under
The times were going through
I scratch my head and stare and wonder
How to face the day anew
But it gives my life a bit more meaning
To feel in love with you, so heavy
I dont want to weigh you down, oh baby
I dont want to tie you down
I dont want a thing to mar this ever
The picture that we make
The balance of our minds together
The perfect give and take
For me to let my love possess you
Would be the worst mistake, Im sorry
I dont want to bring you down, oh baby
I dont want to tie you down, oh jesus
I dont want to nail you down

Love & Compassion
I used to think love was a dying art
Compassion couldnt live within a crowded heart
I saw my freedom in a poor mans eyes
Hope like a light, will to survive
A sense of dignity to hold up high
These are the simple things
That keep us all alive
And though the rich buy power for a time
One thing that money cant buy
Chorus
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love...youre gonna feel love...
Ooo... feel love... youre gonna give love)
One night when I was feelin all alone
I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone
I knew that I would have to make a choice
Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit
We wont be free until we equalize
The price of power to the price of every life
And though I know its gonna take some time
Someday were all gonna find
Love and compassion
(onlv) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes to relate
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
(oniy) love und compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love... ooo feel love... youre gonna
Feel love... if you give love)
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
(only) love und compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
Someday were gonna find it
Oh when I was alone
And I reached out for more
I just opened my eyes
Love und compassion
I know it will take some time
But you know were gonna make it come true
Love and compassion
All my love and compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
All my love, all my love und compassion
Someday, someday were gonna find it, realize it
Take some time to give
Love und compassion
Hope iike a light, and a will to survive...

Tie Our Love
Gonna tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Woah, if we want to endure
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
While we're wrapped up in those ties that bind
I want to make sure we don't unwind
So we'll tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
'cause i've got my dreams, baby you got yours
Put it together, we got a whole lot more
'cause i ain't lookin' for just one night
No, i want to make it the rest of our lives
So lets tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Tie our love in a double knot
Let's tie our love in a double knot

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.

The love i couldn't give
She begs and craves all day,
for the love i couldn't give
She hopes and filled her fate
with the love i couldn't give.
Her smile is filled with hope,
of the love i couldn't give
her heart is sad but strong
for the love i couldn't give.
Her days is filled with hope and love,
for the love i couldn't give
her heart is mild but torn
because of the love i couldn't give.
She wished for just a day of love,
for the love i couldn't give
my heart is lost and gone
now there is no love i could give.
My heart is far from me,
there's no love i could give
my hope is far but deep withing
for the love i couldn't give.
My past came like a GIFT,
and stole my heart from me.
Leaving me hollow and empty,
now there's no love i could give.
My present wants so much love from me,
but there's no love i could give
i'll bring her smile all day,
even with the love i couldn't give.

Sincerely
If I had been You I would have left
Said there's nothing else that I can do
But You saw somethig deep inside of me
I had no idea but I was crying for you
Didn't have to make the sacrifice
Didn't have to come and save my life
Didn't have to pay the price for me
Sincerely I'm not worthy
Didn't have to give all that You gave
No way I could ever walk away
Here's the only thing that I can say
Yours truly thou art worthy
I can't believe You've chosen to reveal
Never ending mercy towards a heart that's been so faithless
The fact that You want to show Yourself to me
My knees grow weak can hardly speak
For your love has been relentless
Didn't have to make the sacrifice
Didn't have to come and save my life
Didn't have to pay the price for me
Sincerely I'm not worthy
Didn't have to give all that You gave
No way I could ever walk away
Here's the only thing that I can say
Yours truly thou art worthy
How can I repay You for the things that You've done for me
Dear God
I call to You
Make me more like You
My way to say thank You
Is do all that you say
Didn't have to make the sacrifice
Didn't have to come and save my life
Didn't have to pay the price for me
Sincerely I'm not worthy
Didn't have to give all that You gave
No wayI could everwalk away
Here's the only thing that I can say
Yours truly thou art worthy

Love's Benefits & Consequences
Love can be heaven,
Love can be hell,
Just don't let your love,
Get put in a cell,
Share It with Mom,
Share it with Dad,
Share it with a woman
Who won't make you sad,
But when you give that love,
Trust who you give it to,
You never know what that person
is going to put you through,
She'll give you the best days of your life,
Or she'll make you miserable for ever,
So trust me when I say
Love is something you should treasure,
So trust the one you love,
He or She may do two things,
Make your life full of sorrow,
Or make your heart sing!

Here Am I
I sit in my sunny chair
With my head held low
I know the reason Im dreaming
Its really been fun
But where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning
And if by chance
Youd come my way
Ill have to say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
How was I to know
Your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me
Ever was denied
I played it just the way
That it should be
But then you turned
And walked away
I have to say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
I imagine I must sit here
Till the winter comes
And just watch the days
Growing shorter
To gather in dust wont go
Till my thinkings done
And I walk from this troubled water
By then my need wont be so bad
And Ill gladly say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love ...

Theres No Way
[intro]
Ooh, ooh, no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Said theres nothing I can do
Cuz you cant seem to get it through your head
That I really love you
Stop playing more, you know I do
I feel you
What does it take to make you see
Im right here for you
What do I have to say
Baby, will you listen to me
Theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Every other night
After we tell each other were in love
We seem to start a fight
Listen to me Im tired of being bothered
I dont mean to put you down
But my options are running out
I dont mean to cut you off
But we need to have a talk
Cuz theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Baby can you tell me why we have to fight
(I would rather not hurt you)
I just want everything to be alright
(whats the matter with me loving you? )
I just wanna live for you
The way you wanna live for me
I want every little thing
All the little things to be
Just the way they used to be
Oh tell me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way

When you thinkin that you love your man
Its when he tap you on your shoulder sayin
Baby you aint givin me love
Unh you aint never heard the 9 degrees
They my degrees on lovin his philosophies
Unity the cornerstone that forms the one
Two ways to trust either all or none
Join honor and respect and form three laws
That hurtle four walls that define the first five of all
Harmony number six takes commitment
Seventh level is peace makes confidence
Balance like a figure eight joined at the hip
Infinity ninth reign never endin trip
Dont just focus on what your eyes can see
Think clear believe give and receive

Give him the love that he wants

Give him the love that he needs

Give him the love that he wants

Give him the love that he needs

I Cannot Let You Go
I know I should let you go
My heart always tells me no
My love for you is undying
Loving you I cannot stop trying
My heart won’t leave you behind
A greater love for me I cannot find
I am sadden so when we are apart
I really love you my sweetheart
To let you go I am trying
You can’t see the tears that I am crying
I love you more than life itself
When I am with you I can’t control myself
Even though a love like ours cannot be
There is no one on earth better for me
You are every breath that I take
If you could only see how my heart ache
To let you go would be a mistake
While I am with you my soul is awake
I give you my life to remake
Let me hold you until daybreak
When you hold me the world fades away
We may never have tomorrow but we have today
The love I have for you is strong
To me you could never do wrong
Through hell and high water I want to be with you
No other love could ever be as true
It is only you my heart will pursue
If only my love you truly knew
On my heart your name I tattoo
My heart can never say to you adieu
Everything about you peeks my inquisitiveness
The feelings I have are boundless
On me through time you have grown
Please I beg never leave me alone
Sleek, sexy, and boisterous
Lively, high-spirited, and scrumptious
These things I find are so
Be still my heart for I cannot let you go
Stories here on of love they will always tell
Without you my love I am an empty shell
