Living by the funk, Gotta go head, go baby, you never know Nobody ever told me, Taking time to make some rhymes Am I feeling fine, noo, no, no Gotta lotta bills to pay, got some miles to walk before I go Gotta lotta bills to pay, got miles to walk before I go Left foot in the morning, right foot in the night Middle takes you round and round and everything gonna be alright Meet me after midnite, I swear I won’t be late, Whatever it takes, whatever you need, I feel great! Living by the day by day, nobody told me I having to feel this way Living by the funk, living by the funk, Living, living by the funk.

Satisfied 03:10
(Verse) Lying there, in your cotton underwear, bending down to smell your hair, glad that life sometime can be fair. Staring down, I see the sweat on your brow, aint no need to worry now, I can make you happy if you allow. I only want to make you (Chorus) Satisfied, I only want to make you satisfied If there’s something special that you like I’ll provide, Satisfied. Satisfied, I only want to make you satisfied If you want it say it it’s alright It’s your night, Satisfied. (Verse) Fast or slow, show me where I should go, so many things I wanna know So many things that I wanna show. Don’t wanna rush, so sensitive to your touch, say I can’t believe my luck, I think I love you too much. I only wanna make you. (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge) I like to make you laugh when I tickle your feet. I like it when you smile when you lay next to me I like it when you cry when I’m in you so deep. Ooh weee, ooh weee I wanna be the favorite part of your day. I wanna be the monkey bars when you play I wanna leave you speechless with nothing to say, Turn off the light, it’s gonna be a bumpy night, and there aint no end in sight, I’m happy when you’re alright. I only wanna make you. Chorus (repeat until the end)

(Verse) Can’t erase what I said what I did in rage. Recognize memorize and then turn the page. Can’t believe this is the very first time That I’ve seen you since you left my life. You look good, you ‘ve lost some weight, I’ve got something to tell you Hold up just wait wait. (Chorus) It seems that you were right, I miss you in my life. 3 weeks after the fight I don’t sleep well at night. It seems that you were right , I’m still holding on tight. 3 weeks after the fight I miss you in my life. It seems that I was wrong, I’m not better with you gone. And if I say I’m sorry would you please come home It seems that you were right, I’m still holding on tight Three weeks after the fight I miss you in my life. (Verse) I am proud, I will ask but I will not beg And I hope that some part of you feels the same I believe that we still had a chance Us meeting here was no coincidence I got mad, I made mistakes I should have listened to what you tried to say that day (Chorus) It seems that you were right, I miss you in my life 3 weeks after the fight I don’t sleep well at night It seems that you were right ,I’m still holding on tight 3 weeks after the fight I miss you in my life It seems that I was wrong, I’m not better with you gone. And if I say I’m sorry would you please come home It seems that you were right, I’m still holding on tight Three weeks after the fight I miss you in my life. (Bridge) Again and again I thought over it all. Before the pain before the fall And how many times I wanted to call But try as I might couldn’t say you were right. Chorus (repeat until end)

(Verse 1) Will I get through this, after all the hurt and pain can I ever love again? If I had 3 wishes, Wish #1 I'd take you back, wish #2 I'd make it, Like it was when we met,we were both innocent and content. I would let you win every argument If it meant that we would stay together. Wish #3 would be clear, I would make what's his name disappear, That would eliminate every fear that what we had won't be forever. (Chorus) I hate eating meals alone, I hate waiting by the phone, I hate waking up without you. I hate when you're with your man, I hate that you don't understand, I hate waking up without you. (Verse 2) Will I get through this, with the madness at the end could I ever call you friend. We don't have to loose this; Wish #1 I'd take you back, Wish #2 I'd make it, Like it was when we met we were both innocent and content I would let you win every argument If it meant that we would stay together. Wish #3 would be clear, I would make what's his name disappear, That would eliminate every fear that what we had won't be forever. (Chorus repeat) (Bridge) Who would know that I would have such trouble letting go, such a feeling I want to grow, but bitterness is all I have to show or say, so close and yet so far away. (Chorus repeat until end)

(Verse 1) So sweetly, you give completely My faults, my needs, you accept every part of me. We may not live together, but that won’t last forever. But until then I dream of being with you until we do. (Chorus) So if they ask who commands my attention, You are the only one I could mention. And if they all wonder how I ease the tension, You are the only one I could mention. When life drags me under, and I need a sign You are the only one on my mind And I, I will wait for you. (Verse 2) So candidly, single handedly you have branded me My heart, my dreams you left your mark on everything. There’s been some stormy weather, but that won’t last forever. But now I gladly dream of being with you, until we do. (Chorus repeat) I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you….(repeat) If you wanna know why it is I feel this way, If you wanna know why it is that I stay If you wanna know how I still go on, If you wanna know how I feel so strong. It’s the way you walk and the way you talk and the way you smell It’s the way you move and the way you groove way you wear your hair. When life drags me under, and I need a sign You are the only one on my mind And I, I will wait for you.

Trust Me 05:52
(Verse1) Close the door and put your bags down. Whatever I did to make you mad is in the past now. All the things I didn’t say, I couldn’t say. I’m not built that way, but you knew that. I know you feel alone, and I can’t condone, My lack of giving and living without you. I didn’t wanna say how much I miss you baby Don’t leave I can change. (Chorus) Trust me baby I won’t be afraid to love I won’t be afraid to love. Trust me baby I won’t be afraid to love I won’t be afraid to love. (Verse 2) Turn around and look at me, I am not the same man that I used to be All the things I didn’t know I should have known Help me I can grow, can you do that? I know you feel afraid That I cannot change my lack of giving or living without you I didn’t wanna say How much I need you baby Don’t leave I can change Chorus ( repeat until end)
7.
(Verse1) I rarely have a reason to communicate my inner thoughts, but you’ve gone and changed the rules of the season, and I have to say it’s making me hot, you drive me crazy. Ooh, when you dance I feel ten feet tall under the disco ball ( just watching my baby); In a trance, breathless I speak your name, silently stake my claim. (Chorus) Cause tonight I choose you, If you can’t feel the beat, move in closer to me Cause tonight, I choose you, Just relax let it be, let my love set you free tonight (Verse2) I can tell you’ve got the fever, Cause you’re sweating all over me, And you made me a believer, Now I’m wet in places you can’t see, you drive me crazy. Ooh, when you dance I feel ten feet tall over the disco ball ( just watching my baby); In a trance, Giving it all to you, you better know what to do. (Chorus) (Bridge) There’s no reason this has to end, Cause I may never find you again, So my heart invites you in, live in my skin as God intends. (Repeat chorus until end)

Sexy Beast 03:51
Verse 1 Yes the new hair is quite appealing, And the underwear so revealing, But they still won’t change my feelings, I already loved you. You had my heart from the start cause I got you. I’ve seen it all but nothing quite like you. It’s alright to change, as long as some things stay the same. Chorus Ooohh You don’t have to work to show it. Nooo you’re sexy because you don’t know it. Verse 2 This is not a competition. I see you with inner vision. I don’t need to make decisions, I already loved you. Don’t wonder if I’m better without you. You had my heart from the start cause I know How you look to me, You’re all the things I dreamed you’d be. Chorus (repeat) You’re my sexy beast you’re my, You’re my sexy beast you’re my, You’re my sexy beast you’re my… I already loved you You had my heart from the start cause I got you. I’ve seen it all but nothing quite like you. It’s alright to change, as long as some things stay the same. Chorus (repeat)

(Verse 1) Sometimes you feel so small, sometimes you hit the wall, and you give your all, and hope to fall in love. Sometimes you make a friend, and sometimes you think you’re in. Then the magic ends, you both pretend to love. (Chorus) Mmm look around Outside all the pain I stand my ground And I grow to understand Lift up my head and becaome a man, In love, Becoming myself in love. Becoming myself in love (Verse 2) Then you will meet someone Stop living just for fun The redefining one, you’ve both begun to love. Someday I’ll need the truth. And someday I’ll just need you. Don’t know what to do, I’m so unused to love. (Chorus) Mmmm, look around I have all I need to stick around My heart6 grows so full with weight I’ve seen all that I need to see And I won’t wait to love. Becoming myself in love. Becoming myself in love, Becoming myself in love, Becoming myself in love. Sometimes you feel so small, sometimes you hit the wall, and you give your all, and hope to fall in love

Hey Friend 03:10
(Verse1) When you’re in it too deep and you’re knocked off your feet, Sitting round with a frown and thinking woe is me. Someone somewhere did you wrong, now you’re playing sad songs But nothing makes you feel better. Ooh, it’s so hard to wait on fate when you’re so damn lonely And I can’t believe it took so long for you to call me ( so I can say…) (Chorus) Hey Friend how you doing, where you been; don’t you know I’m thinking about you. Things got broke, and it seems no one knows how it feels to go through what you’re going through. Though I tried and I tried I can’t find one thing that I can do, so I’ll just say Hey friend I’ll be waiting at the end with open arms to say I love you. (Verse2) When you’re in it too deep ,and you’re too tired to dream, And you’re scared if you dare to try and talk you’ll scream I remember the time, when your life was just fine More than most ever dared to dream Ooh it’s cliché to say that things will only get better Their can’t be flowers without some days of stormy weather. (Chorus repeat until end)

Affirmations 03:39
(Verse 1) Pick your shit up I don’t eat bones, You’ve got it all wrong. I can make it on my own, make it on my own. Everything you think I need I don’t, everything I need I already own. I don’t need to beg no one, I don’t need to beg. Don’t need you to say I’m beautiful, but if you are , thank you I know it. My spirits powerful, I am no longer dull, It’s not a song made just for you, it’s my affirmation too. You see… (Chorus) If I’m open, I’m not broken If I’m open, I’m not broken (Verse 2) Won’t fear the cost of staying true, I wake up each day with hope anew I have important work to do, I have work to do Won’t be afraid of losing time, I live everyday by my design I’ll expand my hungry mind, I will feed my mind. Don’t need you to say I’m beautiful, but if you are , thank you I know it My spirits powerful, I am no longer dull, It’s not a speech made just for you, it’s my affirmation too. You see… (Chorus (repeat) (Bridge) Won’t be afraid to speak my mind, won’t be afraid draw the line Won’t be afraid to be divine, I won’t be afraid. Won’t be afraid to stand up tall, won’t be afraid to trip and fall Won’t be afraid to have it all, I won’t be afraid. Won’t be afraid to love some one, Won’t be afraid to just be done Won’t be afraid to have some fun, I won’t be afraid. Won’t be afraid to just release, won’t be afraid to claim my peace Won’t be afraid to let it be, I won’t be afraid. Chorus (repeat until end)
