The Rest Of My Life

Don't look now but there's another rocky road
Another heavy "wow" of the much 2 heavy, heavy load
But 2day I'm gonna face it, yeah, cuz I'm sick of dealin' any other way
Nobody said the race was fair but I'm gonna keep runnin' just the same
2day, 2day is the first day of the rest of my life

Don't look now but here comes another heartbreak
Benefit of the doubt I'll give it, control of my life I've gotta take
Cuz I'm alive and that's reason enough 4 me 2 bust a smile
I've arrived and now I wanna stay 4 a little while
Cuz 2day, 2day is the first day of the rest of my life

Let's go!

2day, 2day is the first day of the rest of my life
Cuz 2day, 2day is the first day of the rest of my life

It's About That Walk

{Crowd noise}

Mmm mmm, ooh wee!
Fellas, would ya look at that dame?
Have U ever?

U just got back from Paris
U probably went 2 buy some clothes
U're on way 2 Nell's in New York
Gonna meet who heaven knows

But it ain't about where U coming
Ain't about where U go
It ain't about who U been with
Cuz it ain't about who U know

It's about that walk
Can we talk about it?
It's about that walk
I wanna shout about it
Ooh wee, ahh

Your ass, like a fine cut diamond
Mounted on 2 legs of stone
The prison, I'd could do some time in
If I ever got that ass alone
But 4 now, I'll just keep my shirt on
Cuz it ain't about losing cool
Said it ain't about losing sleep 4 that matter
It ain't about nothing that I do

It's about that walk
I wanna talk about it
It's about that walk
I wanna shout about it
Ooh wee
Ah, yeah baby
'Ay, U didn't think I was gonna do that, well check it!
Woo!

{Crowd noise}
Ahh
Mmm mmm mmm, fellas have U ever?

It ain't about where U coming
It ain't about where U go
It ain't about who U been with
Because it ain't about who U know

It's about that walk, yeah
I wanna talk about it
Baby baby baby, 'bout the walk now
Ooh, shout about it, shout about it
Ooh wee

Aw, Lord, Lord!
Girl, U know U gotta walk
And girl, U know I gotta talk
Run!

Lord have mercy
Keep playin'
Vegas on a C
Remember that ending?
On the 1 - uh!

She Spoke 2 Me

Spoke 2 me
I can't believe it, but she spoke 2 me
Close 2 me
I never thought I'd get her close 2 me

Now the moon and the sun belong 2 me
All my wildest hopes, my crazy dreams
But they seem more like reality

Fantasy
This girl fulfills my every fantasy
She must be
Specially designed by heaven just 4 me (Just 4 me)

My friends look at her, they see mystery
But I look at her and I see a masterpiece
Can it be, I mean really that she...

Spoke 2 me (Spoke 2 me)
I can't believe it, but she spoke 2 me (Speak 2 me, baby)
(Speak 2 me, baby)

Spoke 2 me
I can't believe it, but she spoke 2 me
And if she hurts me
I'll take it all with open arms U see (U think I won't?)

Cuz like a track under a subway train
She could roll all over me and I'd still be the same

Cuz 2day is the day she spoke 2 me
I can't believe it, but she spoke 2 me
Close 2 me
I never thought I'd get her close 2 me

Ah, if I'm stuck in some groovy wet dream
Don't pinch me (Ooh wee ooh) (I don't wanna wake up)
I'm diggin' the scene (I'm diggin', diggin')
Yeah, baby

I'm diggin' the scene {x2}
Yeah, baby

5 Women

It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
It took 5 months, of plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
2 fall in love all over, I guess with U I'll never win

March was a cold one in more ways than one
Went down 2 the nightclub lookin' 4 the sun
Lookin' 4 a light that could brighten up a day
That's been darker than a hole since U went away

April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurting kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind
2 fall in love with someone that I barely knew
The baby would never really have a father
Cuz I still, cuz I still, cuz I still, still, still, huh
Be stuck on U

It took 5 women 2 getcha offa my mind
Get off my mind, baby
Falling in love all over...with U I'll never win

May was her name, she was jumpin'
Jumpin' from plane 2 plane
Actress or model or somethin'
I can't even remember her first name
June brought an Easter bunny
Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late
Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date
What a skench!

July was a heartbreak, extraordinary
Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary
It felt so much, so much like yours
But it only made me, (yes) made me want U more
She's gone, she's gone but U're still here
I want U very..., huh, it's U I fear

Said it took 5 women (yes it did) 2 get U off my mind
It took 5 months, 5 months of plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
I fell in love all over with U, I guess I'll never win
(I never win)

When The Lights Go Down

Another Friday night, another tired line
"Baby, U sho' look good - hey, baby, what's your sign?"
How many ask 4 your number before they even know your name?
How many out there tired of playing this silly {ol'} worn out game?

Hey, and when the lights go down
And it's just U 2
It's when U and your lover, yeah
Do what they're s'posed 2 do
That's when U feel the heat - hotter than July
That's when U and your baby, baby, baby, and your baby get it right
That when yo' baby get it right

How can U tell him no
When he loves U so?
Buy U anything, anything U want
His eyes all aglow
He'll know U're good 2 go
Do do do... dinner from a restaurant, yeah
Girl, U'd better know
Reelin' until U do it couple times in a row
It just the same, it's just a game
Go back 2 do whatever, sleep outside yo' door

When the lights go down, yeah
And it's just U 2
That's when U hear the sounds
Of what true lovers do, yeah
And when U feel the heat, y'all - hotter than July
That's when U and your baby, when U and yo' baby get it right
Yeah, hey, and when yo' baby get it right, now

That when yo' baby get it right

That's when yo' baby get it right
That's when yo' baby play with it right

My Little Pill

What's a single woman with no real man 2 do?
Tryin' 2 raise your kid when he couldn't give a damn about U
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
Everytime I pop my little pill

A pixie does my laundry and the universe my will
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
Everytime I pop my little pill

There Is Lonely

Is it me or did the room just get darker?
Is it me or did I just lay down and die?
Is this a dream or did the world just crumble at my very feet?
How in heaven will I ever be alright?

There is lonely and there is lonely
And then there is how I feel right now
Perhaps only Cain when he'd slain his brother
Could ever come close 2 knowing how ... yeah

There is lonely and there is lonely
And then there is how I feel right now
Perhaps only Cain when he'd slain his brother
Could ever come close 2 knowing how

There is lonely and there is lonely
And then there is how I feel right now

Old Friends 4 Sale

The sun set in my heart this evenin'
Cuz an old friend of mine got lost in the jive
Little did she know, when U're stuck in the snow
Nobody gets out alive

Tears fall gently in my garden
As I wait in vain 4 my sweet baby 2 call
I guess what my own brother told me was true
He had been with my sweet baby and she never really loved me at all

Night fell so dark this evenin'
The moon wasn't shinin' nowhere
Sometimes that old light in the alley would light up this old heart of mine
But now I'm wonderin' if there's someone up there who really cares

The night fell darkest in Persia
What used 2 flow blue is now flowin' black
Many a doctor can try, but only heaven knows why
When it comes 2 love, why do some men, why do some men turn their backs?
Can't somebody please tell me?

Maybe the morning air will make me feel better
Oh, I hope better than I feel right now
Last night a stranger took my picture and then he, uh..
He asked if I'd buy it, huh
I said, "I guess I don't know how"

Old, old friends 4 sale
Get'em while the gettin' is hot
But U better watch out, they'll kiss U until they get what U got
And they'll show U the friends that they're not
Old friends 4 sale
(Yeah, hey, yeah, ooh)

Sarah

Hey!

What a night, what a city
Girl, U sho' is lookin' pretty
Tryin' 2 catch a cool one
Checkin' 4 a little fun

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Is that U, baby?

Got yo' good shoes on
Ribbon in your hair
That skirt ain't talkin' 2 long
I can see your underwear

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
I think it's U, baby

Hey!

Girl, I hate 2 be the one
2 tell U that your day is done
U best 2 get your shit and go'n
Or Tina won't be alone
I'd never raise my hand 2 U
No tellin' what my foot'll do (Ha ha, watch out, now!)
Ah, I'm kiddin' baby, that's a joke (Alright)
Maybe I just got my heart broke
There's only one thing left 2 do

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Is that U?

Yeah! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Ow! Ow! ...

Is that U, baby, is that U?
I think it's U

Good, one more take

Extraordinary

Extraordinary love U made 2 me
It's some kind of scary
I would be a fool 2 leave U
4 I was born 2 love U, this is true

Extraordinary - the way U make me feel
I'm so very glad it's real
And not a dream
Even though it seems I'm dreaming

The people tried 2 break us up
There were times a little rough
But we survived cuz we had a love
Extraordinary

I'd give the world 2 U
Each and every thing U do is so very nice (Nice)
Ah, U make my clock tick 12 twice then disappear
Time and everything else when U are near - extraordinary, oh!
