2 tell me all the things U forgot when I was your man?
Hey hey, when I was your man

Take care of U and do all the things that only a best friend can?
Oh, only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

If I was your girlfriend, would U let me dress U
I mean, help U pick out your clothes before we go out?
Not that U're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

If I was your one and only friend
Would U run 2 me if somebody hurt U even if that somebody was me? Yeah
(Even if that somebody was me?)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be ... please!

Sugar, do U know what I'm saying 2 U this evening?
Maybe U think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I wanna be all of the things U are 2 me
Surely, surely U can see

(If I was your girlfriend) {repeat in BG}
Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room
Just because U wanna undress?
We don't have 2 make children 2 make love
And we don't have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm
Your body's what I'm all about
Can I see it?
I'll show U
Why not?
U can do it because I'm your friend
I'd do it 4 U
Of course I'd undress in front of U
And when I'm naked, what shall I do?
How can I make U see that it's cool?
Can't U just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend, U could
Oh yeah, I think so
Listen, 4 U naked I would dance a ballet
Would that get U off?
Tell me what will
If I was your girlfriend, would U tell me?
Would U let me see U naked then?
Would U let me give U a bath?
Would U let me tickle U so hard U'd laugh and laugh
And would U, would U let me kiss U there

I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold U tight and hold U long
And 2gether we'll stare into silence

And we'll try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll.. we'll try 2 imagine what silence looks like

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar ... mmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked her if she wanted 2 dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah

And I said - "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man"

It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
(Tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah

She asked me if we could be friends
And I said - "Oh honey, baby, that's a dead end
U know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied, no"

And I said - "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
We wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied) with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man"

Yeah, yeah, the place of your man

The Cross

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, He is coming
Don't die without knowing the Cross

Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all of us
If we can just bear the Cross

Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems
Some BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the Cross

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, 4 He's coming
Don't die without knowing the Cross, y'all

Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all y'all
If we can just, just bear the Cross, yeah

We all have our own problems
Some are BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems, y'all
Will be taken by the Cross, y'all

{Poem by Edward Lear titled "The Table And The Chair"}

I.
Said the Table 2 the Chair
"U can hardly be aware
How I suffer from the heat
And from chilblains on my feet"
"If we took a little walk
We might have a little talk
Pray let us take the air"
Said the Table 2 the Chair
(Can't nobody fuck with us {repeat})

II.
Said the Chair unto the Table
"Now U know we are not able
How foolishly U talk
When U know we cannot walk"
Said the Table with a sigh
"It can do no harm 2 try
I've as many legs as U
Why can't we walk on 2?" (Say...)

III.
So they both went slowly down
And walked about the town
With a cheerful bumpy sound
As they toddled round and round
And everybody cried
As they hastened 2 their side
"See! The Table and the Chair
Have come 2 take the air"
(Paris, y'all, can't nobody...) (Say it y'all)

IV.
But in going down an alley
2 a castle in the valley
They completely lost their way
And wandered all the day
Till, 2 see them safely back
They paid a Ducky-quack
And a Beetle, and a Mouse
Who took them 2 their house

V.
When they whispered 2 each other
"O delightful little brother
What a lovely walk we've taken
Let us dine on Beans and Bacon"
So the Ducky, and the leetle (Say it, y'all)
Browny-Mousey and the Beetle
Dined, and danced upon their heads
Till they toddled 2 their beds

Good God, uh!

(Can't nobody fuck with us) {repeat by crowd}
What?

Revolution, break it way down low
Beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Oh, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Say what, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Yeah, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)

Come on
Oh wee oh, oh oh! Say it (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
Say it loud, y'all (Oh wee oh, oh oh) {x2}
Miko, Miko, hit me in the back
Fellas

Beautiful night, y'all say it
It's gonna be a beautiful night, y'all say it
Everybody feeling alright, y'all say it
Say, it's gonna be a beautiful night, y'all say it
Everybody, oh wee oh, oh oh
Say it, oh wee oh, oh oh
Say it (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
(Oh wee oh, oh oh)
Give me the horns again
Keep singin' y'all
Everybody clap your hands {x2}
Everybody, groove, come on

Confusion!

Yeah!

Adore

Ooh, baby
Darlin', U're the best, oh girl

CHORUS:
Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U
If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see
Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me

From the first moment I saw U
Ooh, I knew U were the one
That night I had 2 call U
I was rappin' till the sun came up
Tellin' U just how fine U look
In a word, U were sex
All of my cool attitude U took
My body was next
U made love 2 me
Like U were afraid
Was U afraid of me?
Was I the first?
Was I your every fantasy?
That's why...

CHORUS

When we be makin' love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels crying above
Tears of joy pourin' down on us
They know we need each other
They know U are my fix (Cuz U know)
I know that U know I ain't cheatin' baby (I ain't cheatin' on U, baby)
They know this is serious
I ain't fuckin' just 4 kicks
No, this condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
U could say that I'm a terminal case
U could burn up my clothes (U could burn up my clothes)
Smash up my ride (U could smash up..)
Well, maybe not the ride
But I got 2 have your face all up in the place (Do U think?)
I'd like 2 think that I'm a man of exquisite taste
(I'm a man of exquisite taste)
A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
Nothin' baby, I said nothin' baby could compare (Nothin' could compare)
2 your lovely face (2 your lovely face)
Do U know what I'm sayin' 2 U this evening? (What U sayin' about?)
Tryin' tryin' 2 say (I hear what your sayin')
Just tryin' 2 say that until
Till the end of time, I'll be there 4 U

I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart, U own my mind (Truly adore U)
I truly adore U (Darlin')
U don't know what U mean 2 me, baby
(Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U)
Baby, baby
(U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U)
Till the end of time I'll be there 4 U
(Adore U)

Can I talk 2 U, tell U what U mean 2 me? {CHORUS x2 in BG}
Everytime U wander, I'll be your eyes so U can see
I wanna show U things that I show no other
I wanna be more than, more than your mother
More than your brother
I wanna be like no, like no other
If U need me, I'll never leave
I know that U know without U there is no me, there is no me
Without U there is no sea, there is no shore
Love is 2 weak 2 define how much I adore
U child, U child
The last words U hear, the last words U hear

Until (Until the end of time {x7 in BG})
I'll be there 4 U, baby
Be with me darlin' til the end of all time
I'll give U my heart, huh, I'll give U my mind, huh
I'll give U my body yeah, I'll give U my time
4 all time I am with U, U are with me
U are with me, U are with me
