Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Ooh, expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?

As bombs explode around us and hate advances on the right
The only thing that matters, baby, is the love that we make 2night
As little babies in make-up terrorize the western world
The only thing that matters, baby, is love between a boy and girl

Oh, expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

I can't remember my baby's voice cuz she ain't talkin' no more
Only the sound of love and prayer echo from the yellow floor, yellow floor
Huh, she's sayin' – "Dear Jesus, save us from temptation
Dear Jesus, save us from hell
Save us from the madness that threatens us all
Can U hear us? It's hard 2 tell
In your name we pray"

Expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun, fun 4 all

As soldiers draw swords of sorrow
My baby draws pictures of sex (Yes, she does)
All over the walls in graphic detail - sex!

Everybody say it now
Expert lover, huh, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Under... undercover, ha, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

Rip it, ouch! Uh

As bombs explode around U and hate advances on your right
The only thing U can be sure of is the love we make 2night

Expert lover, my baby

Oh, expert lover, my baby

Dream Factory

This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!

Hollyrock ain't all it seems (Lordy)
Don't get 2 serious, it's just a dream
Don't forget your friends, they're all U've got (Lordy)
Listen 2 the story of a man I am not

Party all night, hangin' out
In the streets more than I be at home
I take a pill 2 wipe away my doubts
But a pill can't cure my bein' alone
Vodka and 7 straight 2 my brain
Put me under false impressions, hide all my pain
Somebody help me, I'm losing control

This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!

Everybody got the big dreams (Hey Lordy)
But nobody got the bucks
Love and trust will help U make it in a world (Everybody)
Where there ain't no love, ain't no love

Dig...
A man came up 2 me, smile in his eyes
He told me I was a saint
So I'm quittin' my friends much 2 their surprise
I can't live up 2 the picture that they paint
Ah somebody help me, I'm losing control (Ow!)

I guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!

Lordy
La, la, la, la, la (Sucker)
Got 2 drive
(It's just a dream) {x3}
Look out

Do U wanna party?
Do want a pill?
How about a false impression?
(Thrills, spills, chills)

This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!

Ow! Yeah
Up a little bit
(Dream factory, oh)
Party all night, hang up on the side, I said "Uh"
(Do U wanna party?)
I can't make up my mind
(How about a false impression?)
I can't seem 2 live with no pictures (Thrills, spills, chills)
Somebody got 2 help me! (Just a sucker)
I'm losing control (Just a sucker)
I guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!

Guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!
(Just a sucker, motherfucker!)

When it's all said a better brother should be more, uh
Thank the Lord
Huh, 4 a body like that, titties swingin' like a door
Gimme 2 times just 2 thank my Savior (Acknowledge me)
Girl, what can I say, U got the crazy flavor
I'm givin' U plenty propers so U got 2 score (Acknowledge me)
The only one that's gonna make U holler 4 more
Like a whore, I'm yours (Acknowledge me)
Acknowledge me, baby, what are U waiting 4?

Welcome, this is where I live {excerpt from "All My Dreams"}
This is where I dream my dreams

When I finally cum inside, I stand perfectly still

Love Sign (Shock G's Silky Remix)

(We don't stop) {repeat sample in song}

Love sign {x2}
Love, love

CHORUS:
If U're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and 4 ever more
If U'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun

In a chariot of red and gold
The cool, fuzzy voice said, "Come save your soul"
Before the fear of rejection reared its head
He stood before the masses and calmly said

CHORUS

In the day of where and why we all belong
Don't nobody wanna hear a silly love song
And if they did then we would sing it on the news
While U're aiming your gun at me and I'm aiming back at U

CHORUS

Now
Song now
Everybody sing the song now

If U only had one year left 2 live
What good is the time U spend if U got no love 2 give?
Let's all get up off the front and find a cause 2 back
Then we can teach the babies replications of the act, of the act

CHORUS {x2}
(Sick of evil knockin', yeah)
(Then ev..everybody, oh)
(We can have a little fun)
(Everybody, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(4 ever more)
(Make a little love now)
(We can make love instead of guns, oh)

I can't hold it any longer
It's gettin' harder every day
The need 4 U is getting stronger
Than my need 2 play

CHORUS:
Playin' hard 2 get is gettin' hard 2 play
How can I be cool fallin' every day?

Press your body close 2 mine

I wanna surrender every time, hey!

CHORUS

Hide the bone
Hey baby

2morrow

Well, well, well
Maybe I'll want cha 2morrow
(The most beautiful girl in the world)
On the deep blue sea

Perhaps U noticed that I never look U in the eye
I'm just afraid that I might die of my love 4 U
I wanna kiss U, but baby, I dare not try
Or my dreams most surely will come true
So that's why...

Please don't hold my hand cuz I will
Damn sure understand and kill
The other boys in the band who want U 2morrow, 2morrow

They can't tap it - not 2morrow
(The most beautiful girl in the world)
U're mine 2morrow

On a deep blue sea I wanna be swept away
With U I could pass the time of every night and every day (All time)
Never remembering the songs 2 sing, let alone what notes 2 play
I'm gonna die of my love 4 U, baby

Stay with me 2night, my dear
But please don't hold me tight cuz I fear
My heart just might feel joy instead of sorrow 2morrow

I don't wanna be happy - not 2morrow (not 2morrow)
(The most beautiful girl in the world)
I'd rather cry 2morrow

2morrow is the day I say after 2day
That U and I can play like we wanna
With under garments thrown, the seed can be sown
Slippery in the sauna (Oh)

If I could just look U in the eye
But baby, I dare not try
Cuz then my dreams will surely come true (All time)

Please don't hold my hand cuz I will
Damn sure understand and kill
The other boys in the band who want U 2morrow, 2morrow

2morrow

So Dark

So dark, so dark (Dark) {x2}

Inside lookin' out my window
I don't see nothin' but rain
Sun up in the sky just-a-shinin' (Just-a-shinin')
Still I'm lost in my shadow of pain (Mm-hmm)

Like an innocent man that's on death row
I don't understand what made U go
And wanna leave me, baby
Leave me in the dark
Can U tell me, tell me?

U took my sex and my money (Money)
Took all my self-esteem, yes U did
U had the nerve 2 think it was funny (Funny)
I never knew a bitch so mean, yes sir

U absolutely drove a man 2 tears
All I really know is that U sincerely
Wanna hurt me, baby
Oh, yes U do
U wanna hurt me in the dark

Sunshine - Somebody make the sun shine
Dark cloud - Somebody take this dark cloud away

Just as sure as Noah built the ark (That's how sure)
That's how sure I am U broke my heart

How could U, baby, leave me in the dark?
Baby, it's so dark
So dark, so dark (Dark)

Feel like the sun ain't never gonna shine
U left me in the dark
So dark, so dark (Dark)
I don't know, I don't know why we ever had 2 part
Baby, can't see a damn thing out my window, it's so dark
So dark, so dark (Dark)

Sometimes I want 2 curse the ground U walk on
Even when I know that everything U feel, I feel it 2

I wanna curse U, baby
Ooh, U left me in the dark
And now I want 2 curse U, baby (I wanna curse U, baby)
4 leavin' me alone, alone, alone (U left me in the dark)
Oh, yes U did
And now all I wanna say is
In the dark
Ow! U left me {x2}

It's like being on death row (In the dark)
I don't understand why U had 2 go
I don't understand why U (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why U (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why U hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me here!
Just leave me (In the dark)
(In the dark)

So dark, so dark (Dark) (In the dark)
So dark, so dark (Dark)
(In the dark)

Let's see, body oil - check
Incense - check
Environmental records - double check!

Let's see, if I tell Gilbert and 'Rome 2 meet me 11 then I creep at 10
That'll give me an hour of free reign
Mo' drawers (Mo' drawers)

9:30 - gettin' dressed
I had a couple sips of wine
Boo! - I swear 2 God
My suit was hangin' fine
Everybody at the club freaked
When I stepped from the limousine
They said - "Ooh, it's good 2 see ya"
I said - "Oh, it's good 2 be seen
U know what I mean?"

Tell U what's good
It's a good thing we live close cuz I almost suffocated in that car
Next time I won't wear so much Paco Rabinni or whatever that stuff...
I wonder if they got potato chips up in this...
Man, this ain't like them house parties we used 2 go 2
That's alright, I'm clean

2night, hey, I'm a movie star
I see myself on a silver screen, huh

I'm the only star on the scene
U know what I mean?

Man, I hate makin' movies
But I like that money, think I don't? Hmph

Check me out
I just walk in, don't even find a seat
Just threw my coat right on the floor
Grab somebody 4 a quick dance
Boy or girl - it don't matter no more, I'm hot!
Ha, ha, ha – shit
Mix was right
Bold, Lord

Ouch! Ha, ha
Baby, do U wanna, do U wanna get off?

2night, I'm a movie star
I see myself up on the silver screen
2night, it don't matter
I'm the star on the scene
Ouch!

Mix was right
On the 1 the kick drum hit the triple beat
Baby, I was poppin'
Did one spin, did a second, did the splits
Came up, looked around, the joint was hoppin'
Hoppin'! The joint was hoppin'!
Somebody say "Movie Star!"

So check it out, U wanna dance?

Are U wearing that Paco Rabbit or whatever U call it?

Oh wow, that's dog

What? Speak up, I can't hear over that suit

Maybe U can hear this?

Am I supposed 2 be impressed?

That's right, Rolls Royce
Check it out, baby
U wanna dance now?

Maybe next song

Yeah right, dance floor is not big enough, fat cow

Ooh, the mix, it's about the mix
Ooh baby, I like that, but the kid gonna show U a few tricks
Can I play with U?

Baby, let's creep, I had enough of this action
Bartender, on the house
Give everybody in here somethin'
Man, I don't care
I got money 2 spare, U're cute and your music's thumpin'
Yo baby, get the check

"Yo baby" my behind, I need my money

Say Brother Carothers, can I get some credit?
No? Much money I done spent in this nasty joint?
U need 2 be slapped!
Darlin', shall we leave now?
Go 2 Hades, boy!

So U like my crib?
It's not mine, it's rented
Say, how much did U have 2 drink?

What's the biggest lake U've ever been in?

So, do U like environmental records?
Crickets chirpin', water rushin'
Supposed 2 make U horny
It just make me wanna go 2 the bathroom
Actually this one's not bad, check it out
So like, what's your name?
Oh wow, that's dog!
