9 Lives

9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 lives

This is the 90s and I need a lover with (9 lives)
With my bad self
(If I really) {sample repeats in song}
I.. I.. I.. I...
(9 lives)
Sing Stella

CHORUS:
If I really had 9 lives
I'd want a lover that controlled my mind
Someone who knows about the heavenly sin
How 2 kill with love again, again and again

When she calls me on the phone
She'll ask if I'm alone
Standin' at my door lookin' mega-fine
Heck-a-pump body sayin' good time
When all the others talk plenty of jive
My lover talks about 9 lives
The first 2 promise I'll die from the heat
Generated from the moment that our eyes meet

CHORUS
(With my bad self)

Life number 3 and number 4
Are spent makin' love on the magic floor
It's got no walls so all can see
The way real love is supposed 2 be
Don't be ashamed, my lover said
Then she says "Mmm, I betcha I'm mega-jammin'"
Life number 5, 6 and 7
Need U ask, go like heaven

CHORUS
(With my bad self)
(Control me)

With my bad self

If I really had 9 lives
I'd want a lover that controlled my mind

2 kill with love, we'd never die
We'd never long 4, we'd never cry
If we live 4 havin' each other's touch
It's never 2 little, it's never 2 much
Play

With my bad self
With my, with my bad self

If I really had, if I really had, if I really had 9 lives

This is the 90s
And everybody wants a lover
A life-long lover with 9 lives

(9 lives)
This is the 90s

(CHORUS) {repeat in BG}
Sing Stella

Call me up on the phone
I'll be here all alone
I'll be waitin' on U, baby
I'll be waitin' on U and your 9 lives!

Bliss

The sky looks like it's turnin'
Turnin' from blue 2 black
Still I feel the sun is burnin'
Hot monkey on my back
Am I in a speeding car?
Am I lying in your bed?
One kiss from U is all that I do
And I'm outta my head (My head, my head)

Bliss
This is heaven, I swear 2 God
Wish that I could spend everynight with this feeling some more
Bliss

Just as sure as this lighted candle
I can handle anything
Don't hold nothin' back
2night baby, U're the king
Birds are singin', mindbells are ringin'
I can see everything

We should take a moment
2 praise the heavens above
Every man should be so lucky (So lucky)
So lucky 2 be in love

Bliss
The sky is turnin'
Turnin' from blue 2 black (Black)
Bliss
Can't U feel the sun burnin'?
Hot monkey on my back (Back)
Get off!

Am I in a speeding car?
Am I lying in your bed?
One kiss from U is all that I do
And I'm outta my head (I'm outta my head)

Oh bliss
This is heaven, I swear 2 God
Wish that I could spend everynight with this feeling some more

Oh bliss
This is heaven, I swear 2 God
I wish that I could spend... this feeling, this feeling

Corporate world 4 all my sis' and my bro'
A new soul nation, it is possible
Corporate world 4 all my sis' and my bro'

We'll build a better school that teaches us how 2 make it
And when the enemy offers dope, we don't take it

Dance With The Devil

Cunning liar, eternal fire
Demon clever, promise 4ever
The curious try and always die

Live in fear, the devil is near
Can U feel his breath? Pray 4 death
The curious try and always die

"U men point those search lights up on the tower right now - move, move!"

Have no Savior, have no faith
Never look 4 Heaven's gate
Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died

Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died
And it cries, and it cries.

CHORUS:
Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Give up 2 the feeling and don't try 2 fight
He wants your soul and he wants it 2night
Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Close your eyes 2 love and die

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight {sampled till end}

"U know, without U I just wouldn't wanna go on"

CHORUS {x2}

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight


"It's as though we were made 4 each other
Beauty and the Beast
Of course if anyone else calls U 'Beast'
I'll rip their lungs out"

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight

I never, never, never [comb my hair ...]
But I'll give it all up if I can live out my fantasy

CHORUS

Flesh and blood

When I hear U talkin' and I am walkin'
And I can do what's necessary now
And I've already seen Los Angeles
I already been 2 Rome
I already heard the usual
"I'll buy U a car, I'll buy U a home"
Gimme something I can use {x2} (Only flesh and blood)
Gimme a kiss
That'll makes it go ba-ba-ba-ba-boom!

Me Touch Myself

As I awake this lonely mornin'
I do thank God that U were born
And I picture us on furry floors
And I like it so me touch myself

I prayed that I could have U all 2 myself
So U came 4 me and no one else
Now my heart beats wild 4 U I melt
I want U so me touch myself
Hallelujah

CHORUS:
Me touch myself, me touch myself
Until U and I can truly melt
Every morning me touch myself

This power that U have is unexplainable
If I could live without U honey - debatable
I'm not used 2 this feeling of unstable
Come and get me before me touch myself

CHORUS

Like ice I will become until U come 4 me
No one ever will warm me, I'll be cold as can be
I need the pictures only U and I can see
I need U so me touch myself
I bleed 4 U and me touch myself
U planted the seed, now me touch myself
It's a shame indeed, now me touch myself
Me touch myself

CHORUS

(CHORUS)
I... I... I will finally free
Come and get me and U'll see
I'll be like others never be
Ooh wee, baby, U make me touch myself

Oh baby, me touch myself
Me touch myself {repeat 2 fade}

Mindbells

Mindbells

Uh oh, there they go lurkin' in my mind
Try 2 stop 'em, I am lost in time
So lost, the best that I did is go huntin' 'em down
Everybody thinks I'm crazy, but I know that U're the reason 4 the sound

CHORUS:
Mindbells every time U touch me
Mindbells every time U're near
When U sing with your body, baby
When U sing with your body, baby
Mindbells is all I hear, oh

Mindbells

Listen...
Every time U tell me I'm the one 4 U
And I just can't believe it's me U're talking 2
And my life and destiny, they scare me so
What am I gonna do, I can't let U go

CHORUS

Like the choir sings (la la la la la la)
These mindbells, they ring (ding dong)
I want U now
(Take me)

Oh, mi... mindbells
Mi... mi... mi... mindbells

Can it be these bells I hear ring 4 more than me?
Am I just another star, one of your fantasies?
No baby, baby, don't let it be
Can't U see this love is killing me?

Mindbells every time U touch me (Killing me, yeah)
Mindbells every time U're near (Come near)
When U sing with your body, baby
When U sing with your body, baby
Mindbells is all I hear, oh

Number One

Alright!
Speak up
Tell me what U want {x2}
Alright!

(Yeah!) {repeated throughout song}

U want me 2 what?
Yo, what?
Alright!

I won't be number 5 and I won't be number 4
Cuz baby I'm the fiercest on all the dance floors
My main name is Power cuz this is what I got
If U try 2 love another? Huh, I think not!
I won't be number 3 and I won't be number 2
Look at this body baby and don't U be no fool
I'll be your number one or I'll be nothing at all

Now tell me what U want
When U're in the street your hands are steady dippin'
U better think again tell me is your mind's slippin'?
Haven't I been there baby all U did was call
Wasn't I there 2 pick U up when U fall?
Yeah, U may be cute
Yeah, U got some money
But nothing comes 4 free in the land of chocolate milk and honey

Yo, alright!
Now this is the chorus:

I'm sure U know my name, I'm the first in command
And if U don't I am Power, here by popular demand
If being a woman was a sport I'd always have the ball
I'll be your number one or I'll be nothing at all
Yeah, I'll be nothing at all

U better get yourself 2gether
U better hold on tight
I hope your love's in shape cuz it's gonna be a long night
Remember, what about this time 4 me?
It's man huntin' season, so if U wanna leave
U better have a good reason
I can be real proper, I can be real classy
But iffen' I'm your number one I'd rather be nasty

Alright!
Yo, yo, yo
Ha ha ha, uh! {x4}

I'm sure U know my name, I'm the first in command
And if U don't I am Power, here by popular demand
If being a woman was a sport I'd always have the ball
I'll be your number one or I'll be nothing at all

U need 2 keep this body baby, U're running out of time
Cuz when it's hot it's hot but when it's not it's all mine
I'm not the kind of girl who likes 2 curse and swear
But if U rub all over me U better beware
I can find U cuz there's no place else to go
I won't be number 3 and I won't be number fo'
I am number one and I will gain your respect
One look at this mind body face and intellect
Will convince the hottest critic of what he needs 2 know:
I am number one and I am running this show

So now U the deal, I'm first in command
I am Robin Power here, by popular demand
If being a woman was a sport I'd always have the ball
I'll be your number one or I'll be nothing at all

Alright, yeah!
Alright!

We Can Funk (#2)

I'm testin' positive 4 the funk
I'll gladly pee in anybody's cup
And when your cup overflow
I'm testin' positive and I'll pee some mo'

I could tell U stories till U get tired
I could play with your mind
But U'd prob'ly say that I was a liar
So I won't waste your time

There's this energy between us

I want U so bad, baby
I want U so bad (Take off your clothes)
We can funk

So, time was when we were stompin' 2 a funky thing (Ha, ha)
That's when the time was jump 'em and funk'em in the swing of things
U're so beautiful, my princess, U're so smart
(Pump 'em and funk 'em, jump 'em and funk 'em)
Honey doll, U got the glammest bod (Pump 'em and funk 'em)
No painter could afford this work of art (Pump 'em and funk 'em)
Every time I could I would want 2 compliment U on the things
The things that U be
Honey doll, we should make the real noise
Just U and me

I could tell U things 2 get U excited
Things U never heard
U know the Kama Sutra?
I could rewrite it using half as many words

I'm scared cuz if I don't kiss ya
I'm gonna go mad, baby
Take off my clothes
We can funk (Oh)

I'm testin' positive 4 the funk

Whichever ever one U choose is all right (Whichever one U can)
Cuz we're gonna do it all night long
If U want 2 undress me baby (Undress me)
Shall I undress U?
U can leave your clothes on if U want 2 (Talk 2 her brotha)
And I'd still do what I want 2 do 2 U
Sex between 2 people is alright
If all the love in the world is what they got
As long as they ain't tryin' 2 hurt nobody
Just as long as it's hot
Good Lord, baby
I wanna make love 2 U
2 time, maybe 3
Yeah, and if U want 2 go 4 or 5

Your Love Is So Hard

Date line: 1989

I thought I was your lover wild
