Girl, Lady, Woman

Divine mill...
Next...
[chorus]
I need a girl
Someone I can just chill with
I need a lady
Someone I can be real with
I need a woman
That supports everything Im doin
Girl if your that lady, come on woman be my baby
I know this is our first date
But the fact remains, your a candidate
To be
More than just dinner and wine
A girl Id classify as just a friend of mine
Now i
Dont want you to feel uncomfortable
We can take it slow cause we hardly even know each other
But you seem like a girl I could bring home to my mother
[chorus]
To be with me theres pressure for sure
Thats, why shes gotta be secure
In me
In her
In love
In us
Cause...
Therere certain things that I wont discuss...
Like where Ive been
Who I was with
What Ive been doin
That type of shhhh
Cause to love me
Is to trust me
If you want me
Say something (cause i...)
[(chorus) repeat 2x]
See I really wanna please my girl
Cause I really really need my girl
Id never ever leave my girl
So if you wanna be my girl
Come on, come on...
See I really wanna please my girl
Cause I really really need my girl
Id never ever leave my girl
If your that lady, come on woman, be my baby (cause i, i...)
[chorus]
I need a girl...
See I really wanna please my girl
Cause I really really need my girl
Id never ever leave my girl
So if you wanna be my girl
Come on, come on...
I need a girl...
See I really wanna please my girl
Cause I really really need my girl
Id never ever leave my girl
If your that lady, come on woman, be my baby
I need a girl...
So you really wanna be my girl...
Cause I really really need my girl...
Are you down with n e x t my girl...
Down with r.l., t, tweet my girl...

I wanna a girl..!

I wanna a girl,
A girl with Brave Heart,
A girl with an Winning Smile,
A girl who will make me laugh,
A girl who is beautiful,
A girl who is Kind And Strong.

I wanna A girl, A good one,
A girl who don't struts,
A girl who don't fuss,
A girl who's not a bling - bling,
A girl who will stand with me
A girl who will make my Heart Race

I wanna a girl,
A girl who is something special,
A girl who is loving,
A girl with great patience,
A girl I would be lucky to know,
A girl you'd dream About.

I wanna a girl,
A girl who will be my Kryptonite,
I want a girl I'd fight for,
A girl who makes me think,
A girl who feeds me,
A girl who will look After me,
A girl I'd write poetry for.

I Wanna Be the Girl

i wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know

I wanna be the intimidating one
I wanna be the one you love
I wanna be the one you can't get over how she looked at you today
I wanna be that girl

I wanna be the girl you tell your mom about
i wanna be the girl you watch walk away
I wanna be the girl you always point out
I wanna be the girl who never heard what you had to say

I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you cab't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know

I wanna be that girl
You know the one i mean
I wanna be the girl
You know the one you know

I wanna be the girl who changed your life
I wanna be the girl who's not quite right
I wanna be the girl in your dreams
I wanna be the girl you beg 'be with me'

I wanna be the girl who stands out
I wanna be the one you can't live without
God, I want to be he
I'm so jealous of that girl

I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
i wanna be that girl, that girl you know

You're My Girl

(cooper, beatty, shelby)
See your bag's packed and you're ready to go
There's just one thing i think that you all ought to know
You're my girl, you're my girl
I don't wanna discuss it woman
Ain't no need to try
I don't wanna discuss it baby
Come on baby try
You're my girl, listen baby, you're my girl
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna even discuss it woman
I don't wanna hear what you say
'cause you know that
You're my girl, you're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl, no no
I know that you've been running 'round
With another man in town
Tried to put you right woman
But you keep on putting me down
Listen to me now, you're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
Get in there
I don't wanna talk about it woman
'cause i know you got another man
I don't wanna say another word
Just get back where you're at
You got to tell me 'cause
You're my girl, come on baby
You're my girl, you're my girl oh-oh
You're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl

Be My Girl

Girl, I think its time

I wanna hold you in my arms
And fill you with all my charms

When you touch my hand

Who Will Cry For The Little Girl?

Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that sleeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that weeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that will soon be grown
Who will cry for the little
the little girl who can't make it on her own
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who sits and stands
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who watches life in her hands
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that gives
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that lives
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that sleeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl inside of me
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who used to be ME! !

Stole your life

He destroyed your confidence, girl,
He’s the cause of your pain, girl
You got to be stronger than that, girl
Innocent girl you once were.

He stole your innocence, girl,
He took your love, girl
He buried it with others, girl,
Loving girl you once were.

He tore apart your faith, girl.
He turned everyone against you, girl.
He made your parents not trust you, girl.
Worthy girl you once were.

He took your life, girl.
Gave it a new name, girl,
He drew your blood, girl,
Living girl you once were.

Gone girl

Detention girl,
Suspension girl,
Lives off a pention girl.

Tough girl,
Fighter girl,
Always caught with a lighter girl.

Sad girl,
Lonely girl,
Knows shes not the only girl.

Lying girl,
Crying girl,
Pretend she wasn't dieing girl.

Cold girl,
Gone girl,
Wonders what went wrong girl...

But now i wanna do the right thing for you lady

But now I've had a change of heart
Please believe me

Cuz I know the truth is standing right in front of my face

It's only my fault cuz i was not a real man
I'll do the very best i can
Oh yes I will
Raise my hand to god

Never love another

I Want a Girl

I want a girl
a girl who is there
a girl who can care
a girl that will love
a girl that I'm the world of
a girl with a warming smile
a girl with a unique style
a girl that will soar above
a girl that I'm all she thinks of
a girl who is mine
a girl who can outshine

He Cant Love U

I aint no hata or nothing
But he cant love you like I can
Trust me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
As the clock strikes twelve
Im sitting here wondering how the hell
Did I let you leave
And baby I know that I did my share
Of things to deceive you
Im just trying to get an understanding
Of what to do
Cause Im half way going crazy
Girl they cant fade me
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
I stop, and I wait, and I think
That I never met someone to make me feel
Like Im ready to love
So I gotta do what I gotta do
Just to keep you
Keep you here with me baby
Now I feel its time for me to say
That I need you boo
And I cant go a day without your loving
Baby I cant live without you
I know you know
No matter if you want it baby
Aint no ifs, or buts, or maybes
And I know that one day
Youll see that he cant really love you
Like I love you
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant, he cant love you girl
Hes never gonna love you girl
Like I love you girl
He cant, he cant love you girl

I am the girl... you look & think why,
I am the girl... who wishes to die.
I am the girl... you point & stare,
I am the girl... who just doesn't care.
I am the girl... who wants a better life,
One free of pain,
One free from strife.
I am the girl... who took a blade to her wrist,
I am the girl... i know you wont miss.
I am the girl... you say is a mess,
I am the girl... who is in distress.
I am the girl... who cries late at night,
An ocean of tears,
I can't see the light.
I am the girl... a girl you can't mend,
I am the girl... a girl, just a girl
