Take a look at me now - there's just an empty space

[Paragon]

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)by phil collins

 

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace

When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh

You're the only one who really knew me at all

 

How can you just walk away from me,

when all I can do is watch you leave

Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears

You're the only one who really knew me at all

 

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me,

just the memory of your face

Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face

 

I wish I could just make you turn around,

turn around and see me cry

There's so much I need to say to you,

so many reasons why

You're the only one who really knew me at all

 

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face

Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

 

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

It's the chance I've gotta take

 

Take a look at me now

[Paragon]

All My Life

~ KC and JoJo

 

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Baby, Ooh, I'm so glad

 

I will never find another lover

sweeter than you, sweeter than you

I will never find another lover

more precious than you, more precious than you

Girl you are

Close to me you're like my mother,

Close to me you're like my father,

Close to me you're like my sister,

Close to me you're like my brother

You are the only one my everything

and for you this song I sing

 

CHORUS:

All my life I prayed for someone like you

I thank God that I, that I finally found you

All my life I prayed for someone like you

I hope that you feel the same way too

Yes, I pray that you do love me too

 

Said I promised to never fall in love with a stranger,

You're all I'm thinking of

I praise the Lord above,

For sending me your love, I cherish every hug,

I REALLY LOVE YOU!!!

 

CHORUS

 

You're all that I've ever known,

When you smile on your face all I see is a glow,

You turned my life around,

You picked me up when I was down,

You're all that I've ever known,

when you smile your face glows,

You picked me up when I was down

You're all that I've ever known,

when you smile your face glows,

You picked me up when I was down and

I hope that you feel the same way too,

Yes I pray that you do love me too

[HONEY-D]

I LOVE DA FIRST 1 THNX 4 SHARING WITH US.

 

HERE IS 1 OF MA FAV BY JOE.

 

Don't wanna be a player, don't wanna be a player

Don't wanna be a player, don't wanna be a player

Don't wanna be

 

Chorus:

Don't wanna be a player no more

I think I found someone I could live my life for

Don't wanna be a player no more

I think I found someone I could live my life for

I'm yours, you're mine for sure

 

I had enough of running wild

I'm switching up my whole lifestlye

I don't wanna live the way I used to

I'm giving up the booty calls

Spending C's at the ta-ta bars

No leaving with 2 or 3 girls to hit me off

 

Bridge:

All I need in one who's really down

Someone to turn this playa's life around

Girl I feel like you could be the one

To make a difference in my life

Cause I'm tired of living trife

 

{Chorus}

 

No rolling with an entorage

Celeb style, like a movie star

Sippin Dom with the ladies all around me

Dropping girls off at the wee hours of the morning

Gettin beeps from a la-di-da-di

A true player never gets a chance to sleep, no

 

{Bridge}

 

{Chorus}

 

Surely girl, I'm bugging over you

(I'm bugging girl, I'm bugging girl)

You got me giving up the things I used to do

You have got so much in life to gain

And to prove to you I'm getting out the game

No more, playa style

 

{Chorus} (repeat til end)

 

Don't want to be a player, no

I think I found someone

I'm tired of running round

I'm tired of getting down

I'm tired of living my life

Don't wanna do the things I used to do

I'm giving up the ta-ta bars

I'm giving up messin around

I'm tired of hanging with the fellas

On a late night creep, on a late night creep

Would you be my lady, lady, lady, lady

Don't wanna be baby

See, I think I found someone

Don't wanna be a player, oh no

I think I found, I think I found someone

I don't wanna be, no no

Would you be my lady baby.

[Dhimbil]

LL cool J (luv u better), simple rhymes ha

 

This is hard to say

I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way

Cuz lately I been busy a lot

And I know you don't feel appreciated and what not

I used to tell you that you're hair looked fly

Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes

Now I talk real foul and slick

Every other sentence is, "You make me sick"

Back in the days I was your number one pick

Now your heart's hair-broken and that's hard to fix

I had to dig deep inside myself

Cuz I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else

It's a long journey back to the place we was

When I was too embarrased to admit I was in love

And you was my good girl that wouldn't give it up

I can't let us self-destruct

 

When I think about the things we did

And I think about you having my kids

And I think about us sharing a crib

Losin' all that, God forbid

You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things

In addition to the SL's, bigets and rings

Instead I walk around like I'm a king

And having you ain't nothing but a thing

I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good

Too busy frontin' in the hood

Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go

I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow

One more chance baby and don't say no

Cuz I got another side to show

Some say love is painful it helps you grow

Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know

 

[Hook]

Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)

Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)

So let's laugh together, cry together

God willin' we gon' die together

 

It's a brand new me, a brand new you

A brand new day, sky so blue

Hold my hand while I walk with you

Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you

No more games callin' you foul names

Actin' like females is all the same

I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed

From this day forward I'll never be the same

I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams

I love you, lemme show you what I mean

Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen

Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene

A toast to the queen, you're back in my life

But this time I'ma do it right

Trust me, from the bottom of my heart

Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise

 

one!

[Paragon]

CAMBARO -LUUL and illmatic

 

What a selection.... both songs happen to be my fav'rites. Joe and LL cool J are heavyweights in their own fields.

 

I like Joe's "why are all good girls taken"

 

And though naughty LL cool J's "Doin it" is cool

 

Thankx guys

[HONEY-D]

JAMAAL-11 YOUR WELCOME BRO, AND HERE COMES UR SECOND FAV MINE 2, ACTUALLY I LOVE MOST OF HIS SONGS ANYWAYZ. SO ENJOY IT.

 

 

 

 

Baby, girl, alright

I gotta find me a girl

Oh…oh…oh…whoa…whoa…

Alright now

 

Sunshine from the first time that we met

Helpless, you took my heart, I must confess

Deep in your eyes, there seemed to be a look that said

“Hello, is it me you’re searchin’ for?”

 

Suddenly my sunshine turned to rain

I don’t know if it’ll ever come back again

That’s what you are, sunshine and rain (Ah…ah…oh…)

Yours didn’t say you had a man, there’d never be love within your plans

And it hurts so bad, someone tell me

 

Why are all the good girls (Oh…) taken every time (Ooh, baby)

And why do I keep fallin’ for someone else’s dime (Oh, oh)

Every time love says, “Hello” then they say “Goodbye”

So why are all you good girls taken every time (Taken every time)

 

Dancing with your body close to mine [Then you kissed my lips, girl]

Girl, I thought it was a sign

I want you forever, but good intentions never win

I got that feeling tonight I’ll be alone again

 

Suddenly my sunshine turned to rain

I don’t know if it’ll ever come back again

That’s what you are (Oh…), sunshine and rain (Oh… oh…)

Yours didn’t say you had a man, there’d never be love within your plans

And it hurts so bad, someone tell me

 

Why are all the good girls (Oh, oh) taken every time (Ooh, baby)

[Ariadne]

I love that phil collins song against the odds

heres one of my favourites

BOYZ II MEN

 

"On Bended Knee"

 

Darlin' I can't explain

Where did we lose our way

Girl it's drivin' me insane

And I know I just need one more chance

To prove my love to you

If you come back to me

I'll guarantee

That I'll never let you go

 

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how you get things back

The way they use to be

Oh God give me a reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

 

So many nights I dream of you

Holding my pillow tight

I know I don't need to be alone

When I open up my eyes

To face reality

Every moment without you

It seems like eternity

I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

 

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how you get things back

The way they use to be

Oh God give me a reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

 

Gonna swallow my pride

Say I'm sorry

Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me

I want a new life

And I want it with you

If you feel the same

Don't ever let it go

You gotta believe in the spirit of love

It can heal all things

We won't hurt any more

No I don't believe our love's terminal

I'm down on my knees begging you please

Come home

 

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how you get things back

The way they use to be

Oh God give me a reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

 

Wanna build a new life

Just you and me

Gonna make you my wife

Raise a family

[Dantay1]

Jamal Mr 11 how u doing bro?

I hope everything cool and things are working out for you.

I like the song but whats with the R&B rush ppl?

Try to put a song with lyrics that mean something, I like Joe and LL put their words are some times 2 simple.

 

Dantay

 

See Tracy Chapman thats lyrics

Or Bob Marley

Or Marvin

Or Stevie

...............................

[Paragon]

CAMBARO-LUULeey, you are such a sweet heart. those songs you have posted are my fav'rites too .....oh yeah thats right. i am so hooked to Heart106.2 FM every night just to hear them blasted from the sterio. I like the part where JOE sings " I think i found someone i can live my life for" Damn thats deep.

 

Cushitic_cutie lol.... hey baby if that song "on a bended knee" is your fav'rite then you are as cute as it apears from your nick, nice selection. BOY11MEN are a hit for real, their songs are moving, touching and precisly on a point. If you listen to them more oftenly, then you are guaranteed to fall inlove sooner than later .

 

Dantay abaa waan fiicnahay, how are you doing yourself?

 

Sxb as you have said youself, the songs by ll cool J or JOE are simple worded but that simplity and what they convey attracts many. Many of us do relate to their experiances and compassion for others.

[Baydan]

This is one is from my all time favorite Common in the album Like Water For Chocalate..his lycris are deeply touching. Enjoy y'all.

 

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this

Gotta be somethin for me to write this

Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute

Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it

Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together

Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever

I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you

I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too

Because of you, feelings I handle with care

Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare

You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts

If relationship is effort I will match your work

I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most

They say the end is near, it's important that we close..

.. to the most, high

Regardless of what happen on him let's rely

 

There are times.. when you'll need someone..

I will be by your side..

There is a light, that shines,

special for you, and me..

 

Yo, yo, check it

It's important, we communicate

and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch

I never call you my ***** or even my boo

There's so much in a name and so much more in you

Few understand the union of woman and man

And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land

But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write

For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light

If heaven had a height, you would be that tall

Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all

Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall

 

For better or worse times, I hope to me you call

So I pray everyday more than anything

friends will stay as we begin to lay

this foundation for a family - love ain't simple

Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually

Granted we known each other for some time

It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

 

(chorus)

 

Yeah.. yo, yo, check it

It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop

and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop

Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh

Suggestin beats I should rhyme to

At times when I'm lost I try to find you

You know to give me space when it's time to

My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness

Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence

The time we committed love it was real good

Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good

I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal

it's how I must treat you

As my reflection in light I'ma lead you

And whatever's right, I'ma feed you

Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da

Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace

 

(chorus)

 

(I'll) take my chances.. before they pass..

.. pass me by, oh darling..

You need to look at the other side..

You'll agree..

A Long Walk"

 

You're here, I'm pleased

I really dig your company

Your style, your smile, your peace mentality

Lord, have mercy on me

I was blind, now I can see

What a king's supposed to be

Baby I feel free, come on and go with me

 

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

 

Your background it ain't squeaky clean shit

Sometimes we all got to swim upstream

You ain't no saint, we all are sinners

But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner

I respect that, man you're so phat

And you're all that, plus supreme

Then you're humble man I'm numb

Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring

 

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

 

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)

Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent

Come on, Come on

 

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

 

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)

Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent

Come on, Come on

 

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe baby, maybe we can save the nation

Come on, Come on

Love U 4 Life

Jodeci

 

Promises you made me

All the things you told me

You said you'd never leave me

We'll be together for eternity

 

Now it's all in the past

Now I know I love you last

Lady, I would do all I can

Lady, I would be all I am

 

Chorus:

Do you believe in love?

And the promise that it gives?

I want to love you for life

Because your love is why I live

(Repeat 1)

 

I knew the thing,girl

But my faith wasn't strong enough

Now my heart is built to last

My heart is beating for you fast

 

But now I know that you understand

I want to take you by the hand

And walk with you down that aisle

And with you I'll live my life

I give you all that you had before

So come on in and close the door

And let me show you what it all could be

If you just please tell me

 

Do you believe in love?

And the promise that it gives?

I want to love you for life

Because your love is why I live

 

I want you to nkow that it's for real

This feeling that I feel

I want you to know that it's so real

Tell me real

 

Do you believe in love?

And the promise that it gives?

I want to love you for life

Because your love is why I live

[SCORPION_SISTA]

hey i couldn't pass this chance to put in my song too, this is a song i am feeling now:

[Verse 1]

Lately you've been questioning

If I still see you the same way

We gonna both physically change

Now don't you know you you'll always be

The most beautiful woman I know

So let me reassure you darlin that

My feelings are truly unconditional

 

[Chorus]

See I'll love you when your hair turns gray

I'll still want you if you gain a little weight

The way I feel for you will always be the same

Just as long as your love don't change, No

 

I was meant for you and you was meant for me yeah

And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need

Girl the way we are is how its gonna be

Just as long as your love don't change

[Verse 2]

Cause I'm not impressed, more or less

By them girls in the T.V and magazines

Cause honestly I believe that your beauty

Is way more than skin deep

Cause everything about you makes me feel

I have the greatest gift in the world

And even when you get on my last nerve

I couldn't see myself being with another girl

[Chorus]

[bridge]

So don't waste your time worrying bout

Small things ain't relevant to me

Cause to my understanding your all I want and need

See what I'm trying to say is I'm here to stay

Baby, baby darling I swear that I,

I swear I ain't going nowhere no.

[Vamp]

You are my baby

Don't you change baby

I love you, got to know,

Yeah, yeah

[Filsaneey]

Hey people this is on of mi favorita song by J-Lo "Aint It Funny" enjoy it.

 

"Ain't It Funny"

 

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me

It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be

But there are facts in our lives

We can never change

Just tell me that you understand and you feel the same

This perfect romance that I've created in my mind

I'd live a thousand lives

Each one with you right by my side

But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance

And so it seems like we'll never have the chance

 

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny

And you can't move on even though you try

Ain't it strange when your feeling things you shouldn't feel

Oh, I wish this could be real

Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life

And you don't want to face what's wrong or right

Ain't it strange how fate can play a part

In the story of your heart

 

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be

I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me

Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain

And I don't think that I could face it all again

I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about

 

A deeper love I've found in you

And I no longer doubt

You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made

And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

 

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny

And you can't move on even though you try

Ain't it strange when your feeling things you shouldn't feel

Oh, I wish this could be real

Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life

And you don't want to face what's wrong or right

Ain't it strange how fate can play a part

In the story of your heart

 

I locked away my heart

But you just set it free

Emotions I felt

Held me back from what my life should be

I pushed you far away

And yet you stayed with me

I guess this means

That you and me were meant to be
