Piano & I
Oh oh my goodness
I didn't know I was here
Do you know my name (Can't go wrong when you try)
Always got to try
No matter how long that shit take
Yeah, yeah
Uh
Whatever stops you from dreamin'
Whatever trys to stop you from livin'
Flip it

Welcome home
Cuz right now what I got to do is
I gotta amp myself up as well as you
So yea, so what it took me like
Maybe 2 years and shit
But I fell in prepared
You know what I'm sayin
And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss
As I once was

So come on
What chu waitin' on
Feel me, feel me, feel me
What, uh, yeah
What, uh, yeah
What
2.
Girlfriend
Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through

Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get inbetween
But I see possibilites

And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's realI see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

How Come You Don't Call Me
But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good...

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything you said
I always thought our love was so rare I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still I invision you holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me
4.
Fallin'
I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you

Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin' makes me so confused

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

Oh, I've never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
I've takin' more than would a fool
I start falling back in love with you

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

Now baby
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
5.
Troubles
Dear Lord can you take it away (oh)
This pain in my heart that follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (mmm)
Oh my goodness

Feels like the world is closin' on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared

If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let it go

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place

If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let it go
6.
Rock Wit You
There's no escape on the spell you have placed
Leaving my heart and my mind
Foolish am I if I was to try to ever leave you behind

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

I'll stay and walk this life wit you
No matter what we may go through
Dead broke, no job, no house, no ride
I'm goin' stay right by your side

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

Don't question where you're headed to, my love
Don't be afraid, just believe in love

I wanna rock wit you
No matter what we do
Wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

do your thing, do your thing,
do your thing, do your thing

A Woman's Worth
You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls.
Take me on a cruise around the world,
Baby you know I'm worth it.
Dinner lit by candles run my bubble bath,
Make love tenderly to last and last,
Baby you know I'm worth it.
Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right,
Not just told, but to show, that you know, she is worth your time.
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse, to put her first.
She will, if she can't, find a man, who knows her worth, mhmn

Cuz a real man knows a real woman, when he sees her.
And a real woman knows a real man, ain't afraid to please her.
And a real woman knows a real man, always comes first.
And a real man just can't deny, a woman's worth.

If you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods,
treat you like a real woman should.
Baby I know your worth it.
If you never play me, promise not to blow off
I'll hold you down when shit gets ruff.
Baby I know your worth it.
She runs the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true.
Don't take for granted the passion that she, has for you.
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse, to put her, first.
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth. oh

Cuz a real man knows a real woman, when he sees her.
And a real woman knows a real man, ain't afraid to please her.
And a real woman knows a real man, always comes first.
And a real man just can't deny, a woman's worth.

No need to read between the lines, spell out for you.
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong, when you value
A woman, woman, woman, a woman's, worth.

Cuz a real man knows a real woman, when he sees her.
And a real woman knows a real man, ain't afraid to please her.
And a real woman knows a real man, always comes first.
And a real man just can't deny, a woman's worth.

Cuz a real man knows a real woman, when he sees her.
And a real woman knows a real man, ain't afraid to please her.
And a real woman knows a real man, always comes first.
And a real man just can't deny, a woman's worth

Jane Doe
Let's talk about the situation
bout how you came with information
that's negative in every which way
Just dissin my man and our relations
You say he's cheatin, want me to leave him
I've changed my mind I think I'll keep him
Listenin to you will leave me lonely
That's not what I'm tryin to be

Cause I'll be crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no
Just crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no

Check my man out

Think you slick like I wouldn't know
But I got something for you

Mess around end up in a choke
Hold
Girl I think it's time for you to
Go
Away from my man and me
That's the way it's gonna be

Cause I'll be crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no
Just crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no

I love my man
He loves me more
He may not be the perfect man but I don't plan to let him go for
Jane Doe

Cause I'll be crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no
Just crazy to let my man go

Goodbye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
10.
The Life
Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for me to live for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

I'm just trying to get over

Mr. Man
Somethin' about the way you smiled at me juss drove me wild
Wish I could know if your alone, don't wanna cramp your style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for a challenge may arise

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man, unfair

Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Maybe I've had too much remy, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I'll play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonite

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,unfair to Mr. Man

I know all you wanna know is answers
Cuz you could give me what I need
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man, unfair

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and youn say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr. Man,unfair to Mr. Man

Never Felt This Way (Interlude)
There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all

Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms, they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life

Cause I never felt this way about lovin... No
Never felt so good... baby
Never felt this way about love
And it feels so good

Butterflyz
Lately when I look into your eyes
Baby I fly, your the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe,
How lovely you make me feel inside

You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

It seems like the likly thing
From the start you told me
I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I wanna give you everything

You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You and I...
Are destiny
I know that
You were made for me.

Oh... oh
I can't control it.
It's driven me
It's taken over me and I
Oh...

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You give me something I just cant deny
Something thats so free
I just can't control the way I feel
And I don't
You give me something I just can't deny
Something thats so free
Oh I never felt like this

Why Do I Feel So Sad
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
15.
Caged Bird
Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty
