you look so fine wit your perty face
a girl like u i wouldn't even mind to chase
so A Girl why don't u come to my place
this aint no race
we can take wit a lil pace
we can hold hands and walk to the park
chill there tell it starts to get dark
and i can show u my kinda spark
its just the feeling i have for u
and u know it to be true
hopin that these times wouldn't be against what u do
but girl u know I'll always take it real slow
as im whisperin in your ear
letin ur body show no fear
never let u shed a tear
this is what i mean when i hold u tight
i'll take u to a place that forever shows u light
There was the night that I lost my love
Then I blamed it all on me
I broke into tears
It’s felt like I’ve been lost for years
This is a wishful love song
But I feel lonely all night long
This is a wishful love song
And I’ll sing this all night long
I wish so much
That I could give a girl my heart
I want to remember what it feels like
To give a girl my all
This is a wishful love song
But I feel lonely all night long
This is a wishful love song
And I’ll sing this all night long
Sometimes I wonder what I did wrong
And why I’m not that strong
I’m asking God what I can do
To find a girl that will make me new
This is a wishful love song
But I feel lonely all night long
This is a wishful love song
And I’ll sing this all night long
I know I can’t fall too fast
And have another broken aftermath
But I want to fall in love
And show her God above
This is a wishful love song
But I feel lonely all night long
This is a wishful love song
And I’ll sing this all night long
You can tell the song of the girl too afraid to sing
To the beat of her own drum from miles away
Her song has no life
You can hear the song of the suppressor
Who makes that girl afraid to sing
To her own heartbeat
The suppressor’s song is sung loud
And with authority
To cover his own insecurities
You can differentiate between followers and leaders too
The followers sing an old familiar tune
Together so their voices blend
No one can hear individual voices
There is safety in numbers
The leader’s song breaks free
A melody that soars so high
That others look up to it
Some don’t fall into any set category
Their songs weave into everyone else’s
Trying different tunes and octaves
They belong nowhere and everywhere
And don’t stay anywhere for long
Others sing their song on a different frequency
That few can hear and enjoy
But who’s to say the song is good or bad
When we don’t take the time
To tune in and truly hear
The songs of man and girl alike
Flow and peak and weave
Through melodies and harmony
That never the earth will leave
The girl from Kansas asked
“And you would never hurt me?”
The voice of sadness replied
I mean I would never hurt you intentionally
But eventually
My selfishness and bitterness would run you away
Then again, alone, you would lay
The girl from Kansas asked
“I’ll be you know how to treat a lady”
The voice of sadness replied
Would you like me to hold your hand?
When we sit, would you like my pride to stand
Would you have me
Kiss you just above you forehead
Every night before you drift off
And softly whisper I love you
When even in my nightmares
I only think of you
You want this why?
I’m no perfect lover
I don’t know how to hold you when you cry
The girl from Kansas asked
“Why not give it a shot?”
The voice of sadness replied
Where do we go from here
I wanna hold you, I wanna console you, but I’m afraid
It’s your tears I fear
v1) Oooh I can't breathe
when you're near me..
I want you so bad-
it hurts inside..
ooh can't help it
when I look into your eyes
yah it makes me want to cry ooh..
pre ch) Baby I can't hide - how you touch me inside
every breath draws me closer to you..
you speak to my heart as were lying in the dark
believe me when I say... only your love girl can move me this way..
ch)(five part harmonies) you bring me to my knees
You're all I ever need.. (I ever need)
I would die for you girl yah you know its true now.
my heart beats for you - no one loves me like you do
believe me when I say only your love
can move me this way... (this way yah).
v2) mmm want to tell you
but I am shaking inside
I've got no where to run
and no place to hide
mm can't control it
when you're holding me
in your arms baby

ch)repeat
bridge: in your eyes I see heaven

every touch leaves me gasping
only your love girl can set me free... ohhh.
{verse-1}
I got home last night at four
Found the door open wide
and when I shut and locked the door
I stumbled over something inside
As I searched for the light
I heard my baby girl say
Daddy I'm alone here tonight
Mommy lays there and won't wake up
{verse-2}
Then I felt her little arms
Squeeze tight around my leg
She said Mommy wasn't feeling good
And went to sleep there on the floor
And as the tears fell from eyes
My baby girl said, It's alright Daddy
Mommy will be up soon, I'm sure
That's when I fell to pieces
{Chorus}
Through The eyes of a child
To young to understand
Through the eyes of a child
How can I tell her Mommy's gone
{verse-3}
Then I told her Mommy went to heaven
And that God didn't need her body
She looked at me confused
And said Then Mommy's not up there
Then a hand touched my hand
And a voice said let me try
Then my baby girl turned to me
And said Daddy, I still have you
{chorus}
Through The eyes of a child
To young to understand
Through the eyes of a child
Grew up 'fast when Mommy died
It's four am your off to sleep
Were locked in a warm
embrace
my thought's alone are left to
stew
as you lie in silent dream
I say hey little girl
I say hey little girl what you
doing here
I stay awake in secret bliss
you look so good lying there
I go to move you pull me close
just a kiss so you know i'm
here
I say hey little girl
I say hey little girl what you
doing here
I fell asleep and I had a dream
The most wonderful dream of
all
It was you and me for eternity
I'd like to see what tommorrow
will bring
You'd better wipe the tears from your eyes.
You know that makes you seem weak.
Put down don't you call her and tell her
just how much she means.
Don't confess that you stair at her photos
and read her letters before you go to sleep.
Or the you pretend that you kiss her good-night
and she's still the girl of your dreams.
"Take it like a man.
Don't let your feelings show.
Listen to your friends.
Just let that girl go.
Although there's only
excrushiating pain,
suck it up
and take it like a man."
When she walks right on by,
show no emotion at all.
Dn't let on how it's killing you
to see her moving on.
And when you see tat radient smile
that you know you used to bring,
don't jump and say you're sorry.
Just act like she don't mean a thing.
"Choris"
And when you're lying all alone in your bed
wishing she was there right next to you.
Don't start feeling sorry for yourself
because it was you who chose to...
"CHORIS"

I look into your eyes
I see the fear
he brought into your life
If u don't do something
or if you do it wrong
he raises his hand at you
then fear for your life
I've seen this happen so many times
One of these nights
You should walk out and leave
Don't let that man
Control you
If that guy really loved you
Why does he smack you around
What is with him always being in power
Love is love not a power strip
Don't let him hurt you
Don't let him scare you done
Don't feel embraced about the marks
Don't think that he is winning
One of those days raise your hand back
Don't get scared
Cause girl I backing you up
love is a special thing
Don't get me wrong
But love ain't a power strip
He wants all the power
He wants you too
He has to learn
Your a good girl
Not a play toy
I see your fear
when I look in to your eyes
I know he raises his hand
all the time at you girl
Don't be scared
let him know you fight back
Don't leave him win
fear ain't love
and love ain't' a power strip
