Ouch!
Interesting...
Looky, looky
What have we here? Mmm
Interesting...
Like a bad politician, U walked into the room
Interesting...
U checkin' everybody out, I knew U'd get 2 me soon
(Sooner or later)
Interesting...
Your cologne smelled like a garden in the middle of Rome... ouch!
Interesting...
U offered me your body if I'd take U home
(Home, take me home)
CHORUS:
The way U walk, the way U talk and think and feel
Intrigues me like a thief 2 money, money
If I'm not dreaming, this is interesting
And when we first kissed
(Cool blue flashes)
And honey, your hands, they're like a feather whip
(Please! 4 more lashes)
CHORUS
4 curiosity's sake I asked U 2 dance
Your body moved like the sound of a bass
Interesting...
Acoustically electric, your biceps symmetric
Yeah babe, I like your lines ... ouch!
Interesting - Like a bad politician, U walked into the room
But it's alright cuz (I love U)
CHORUS
Ouch! Ouch!
Baby, oh (Interesting)
Say baby, what's your number? Where U live?
Come on over here, let's make a deal
It's so interesting 2 me, yes it is
Sho'nuff is interesting
I mean, U know I'm not the type
That just speak out on ah.. an issue like this (Interesting)
But when U walked in that door
U know U put this on my mind (Interesting)
And I just couldn't keep it 2 myself {fade out}
Had 2 pinch myself just 2 see if I was dreamin'
U try and try 2 close your eyes at night
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight
CHORUS:
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express
Fast food chains keep popping up
Everybody's eatin' on the run
Hamburgers, French fries, hurry please
But hold the indigestion
The rush hour traffic slows U down
As U race against the clock
But fasten your seatbelts everyone
There are no intermediate stops
U try and try 2 keep pace with the times
U try and get one step ahead, but U fall 2 steps behind
CHORUS
Ooh yeah, all day, on rey, all say, I say, he say, OK, OK {x4}
U try and try 2 close your eyes at night
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight
CHORUS {x2}
Running 2 the crack house
People gettin' sprung out
Welcome aboard
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)
Livin' in the fast lane
2 much cocaine
Welcome aboard
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)
The world keep revolvin'
And ain't nobody stoppin'
Welcome, oh yes
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)
Welcome, welcome
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express
We're livin' 2 fast, y'all
Babies makin' babies, hear?
Oh, welcome the 20th Century Express
How did it come 2 this?
U livin' in your world and me dyin' in mine
Lord knows I don't deserve this
I never gave U any reason 2 treat me unkind
Each day that goes by I grow lonelier
Sadder than the day before
I'd give anything just 2 hold U in my arms
Or see U standin' at my door
Cuz darlin', U mean more than words could explain
Ooh darlin', the pain, it cuts so deep
And it's only a matter of time
Before I go right out of my mind
I don't care who was wrong
I only know that when U're gone
I think about U every day
Why'd U have 2 go away and leave me all alone?
Won't U please come home, baby?
(Baby, won't U please come home? I don't wanna be alone)
Come home
(Baby, won't U please come home? I don't wanna be alone)
Why did we ever part?
U were my lover and I was your friend
How did this argument start?
Couldn't we just kiss and start over again?
Whoever said all good things soon come 2 an end
Never had anybody like U
There's a pounding in the pit of my heart
Whenever I think of what we used 2 do
(Ooh, the things we use 2 do)
Cuz darlin', U mean more than words could explain
Darlin', darlin', the pain cut so deep
And it's only a matter of time
'Fore I go right out of my mind
I don't care who was wrong
I only know that when U're gone
I think about U every day
Why'd U have 2 go away, leave me all alone?
Won't U please come home, baby?
(Baby, won't U please come home? I don't wanna be alone)
I can't take it no more
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
Looky here
I got somethin' I wanna say
U know I never treated U bad
U know I was the best U ever had
I know it's just a matter of time
'Fore I go right out of my mind
Ow!
Baby, help me
Oh baby
It's just a matter of time before I go right out of mind
I don't care who was wrong, baby
All I know, all I know is that when U're gone
I say when U're gone
I think about it every day any old kind of way
Why'd U leave me, why'd U leave me?
Why'd U go away?
Baby, baby, won't U come home?
(Baby, won't U please come home? I don't wanna be alone)
Come on, come on home
Help me – come on, come on home
(Baby, won't U please come home? I don't wanna be alone) {fade out}
Somebody help me
Come on, come on home
Like a jaguar runnin' through the night
I'm gonna hunt U down, I'm gonna strike
If I have 2 chase U 4 the rest of my life
I'm gonna getcha, getcha
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Like a burnin' sun in the noon sky
This kitty wants your body fine
Sure as 3 x 3 is 9
I'm gonna make that body mine
Jaguar {x2}
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Oh yeah
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
Like a lion lives so he can roar
That's what it is, baby – it's U I'm living 4
I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha, that's a bet!
Cuz if I don't getcha in this life, baby (If I don't getcha in this
life)
If I don't getcha in this life, baby (If I don't getcha in this life)
I'll get U in the next
Jaguar {x3}
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and U are mine
Sho'mon {x3}
Like a hunter in the wilderness
I'm gonna getcha
Meow {repeat}
Jaguar
I'm gonna getcha, getcha
I'm gonna getcha
Cuz if U really don't love me anymore (If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the morning (Train)
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (All the way) (Train)
If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
Then I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way, no, no
I'm so in love with U, U're all I wanna be
Whenever U go away, babe, U take a part of me (Oh, yes U do)
A man's gotta do what he gotta do
But remember, babe, wherever U go, I'm with U
Cuz I need ya
CHORUS:
If U really don't love me anymore (If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the mornin' (Train)
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (All the way) (Train)
If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
I won't stand in your way {x3}
CHORUS
I won't stand in your way, no, no
(Train leavin' without delay)
No
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
Oh no, I won't stand in your way
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
Mm yeah
Train, train
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train)
I just can't go on
CHORUS:
Turn the radio on
They're playing the old songs
Backtrack along with me
Through those old sweet melodies
Turn the radio on
They're playing the old songs
How they bring back memories
Of the way love used 2 be
It was all so simple then
Slow dancing there in the den
2 the tune "Blowing In The Wind"
Scanning through The Hit Parade
Hanging out at the record shop
Learning how 2 do the cha-cha-cha
Back when Sam Cooke was hot
Twisting the night away (away)
CHORUS
Oh, I wish they'd play "My Girl"
"Twist And Shout" and "The Duke Of Earl"
James Brown: "It's A Man's World"
"Love Makes The World Go Round"
Oh, I wanna hear "Yesterday"
"Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay"
The old songs have a special place
Oh, how sweet the sound
CHORUS
Mm hmm
If I could catch a ride, I'd go back in time
2 that very first day when I realized that U were mine
The old songs have a way of bringing back 2 mind
The love we shared, the joys and smiles we left behind
So…
CHORUS {x2} {fade out}
I can see U without even looking
I can hear U and U don't have 2 make a sound
I can feel U without even touching
I am near U even when U're not around
CHORUS:
I guess I'm crazy, crazy 'bout U, boy
I guess I'm crazy, crazy 'bout U, boy
Guess I'm crazy, yeah, yeah
On a crowded street there is no one
Only U and me, if only in my heart
This feeling can't be beat, loving U's so fun, so fun
A fire burns in me, I don't need a flame 2 start it
CHORUS
If I could somehow make U see
Everything U do 2 me
Maybe then U'd realize
U're the reason 4 this look in my eyes
Don't U wanna hold me?
Say U wanna hold me
I belong 2 U even though U don't want me
If I'm in love with U, it's plenty a reason 2 be alive
No one understands, they say that I'm foolish
They say I should let U go, but U, U are my destiny
CHORUS
Ooh, if somehow I could make U see
(Crazy, crazy about U, boy)
All the things U do 2 me
Maybe then U'd realize
(Crazy, crazy about U, boy)
That U're the reason that I'm alive
U can look in my eyes (Crazy)
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe U know
(Crazy, crazy about U, boy)
I'm crazy about U, boy
Just one look, just one look, baby
(Crazy, crazy about U, boy)
I guess I'm crazy (Crazy)
(Crazy) {x3}
Sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah, yeah
U came 2 me
Said give U more time
Time 2 get yourself 2gether
Time 2 make up your mind
I want 4ever love
U want a one night fantasy
While I'm sittin' here waitin' on U
U know somebody somewhere's waitin' on me
Time waits 4 no one
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
And time waits 4 no one
If U wait 2 long
U can turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
(Time, time, time)
I just can't sit around
Watchin' my life pass me by
So if U're ever gonna make a change
Better be right now, right now, right now!
I don't know if anybody ever told U, boy
But impatience is my middle name (My middle name)
So if my good, good… good lovin' means anything 2 U, babe
U better stop runnin' your game
Time waits 4 no one (No one)
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
Time waits 4 no one (No one)
If U wait 2 long
U turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
U came 2 me
U said give U more time
But baby, baby, I could see through U
Even if I were deaf, dumb and blind
Time waits 4 no one (No one)
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
(Time) Time waits 4 no one
So if U wait 2 long (2 long)
U turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
(Time, time, time) Waits 4 no one
Don't wait 4 no one
Nobody, nobody
No, nobody
Time waits 4 no one
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody {fade out}
Time, time, time waits 4 no one
