One Day (I'm Gonna Make You Mine)

Oh, there he is
Ooh, he looks better every time I see him
Look - those eyes, those lips
I know he wants me, I know he does

I see him walkin', his body talkin'
He's got a real cool style
Something that he got, it get me so hot
His body drive me wild

I know it's gonna be tough
Things I'm gonna have 2 give up
Yeah, I know he thinks he's sweet
But he can't resist my beat

{Distant Spanish vocals}

I know he sees me, why does he tease me?
Why does he play this game? Ha!
He knows I love him, always thinking of him
I guess pretty men have no shame

Sometimes I wanna beat U up
Is that what U want me 2 do? (Sing)

One day, one day, one day
I wanna make U mine
One day, one day, one day
I wanna make U mine

I've got a potion that gives emotion
I'm gonna turn U on (Hot)
U will adore me, none will come before me
Then it won't be long

U're gonna kiss me, U're gonna kiss me
Like U never kissed before
Ooh, that night U want me, I'll be happy (And I'll be happy)
Cuz on that night I'll have what I've been waiting 4

CHORUS:
One day, one day, one day
Gonna make U mine
One day, one day, one day
I'm gonna make U mine

Oh wow, there he is again
What am I gonna do? (Gonna make U mine)
Ooh, I do declare
I think I'm gonna go mad
I want that body so bad, so bad (Gonna make U mine)

CHORUS

One day (Hear me out)
I'm gonna make U mine (Hear me out)

{Distant Spanish vocals in BG}

One day, one day
I'm gonna make U mine

Hear me out (CHORUS)
One day, one day
I'm gonna make U mine
Oh, oh
One day, I'm gonna sock it 2 U

Someday I'm gonna sock it 2 U (CHORUS {x2})
U, ooh
Gonna make U mine
Gonna make U, gonna make U, gonna make U mine
Gonna make U mine, mine, mine... yeah!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Gonna make U mine

Mine, mine, mine, mine
One day!

Wednesday Like A River

Tuesday I surrendered beneath the willow tree
When I gave 2 U the key 2 my virginity
Wednesday I remembered your physical poetry
The passionate pretender, I'm a part of your history (Sing)

CHORUS:
Oh, oh, oh - Wednesday like a river (Sing)
Oh, oh, oh - Wednesday like a river

Wednesday's like a river, Thursday rivers are lakes
Friday finds me in the ocean, sometimes love is hard 2 take
Emotional evidence sometimes hard 2 face
The double-edged sword can be like arsenic and fine lace

CHORUS {x2}
(Everybody)

Bathing in the beauty, romantic interlude
Wondering 4 long, never did I play a lover or a fool
Wednesday like a river, Thursday rivers are lakes
Friday finds me in the ocean, sometimes love is hard 2 take

CHORUS {x2}
(Sing)

Oh, oh, oh - Wednesday like a river

Wednesday like a river (Wednesday, yeah)
Wednesday like a river

Hold Me

I've tried so many times 2 erase your memory from my mind
Yet, it doesn't ever last 4 long
I see your picture then I hear your voice
Our love must be stronger than before

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me)
Touch me (Hold me)
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me)
Hold me

Here I stand defenseless as I look into your eyes
There's nothing left 2 say or do
U fill my head with promises and all your pretty lies
Would it be so wrong 2 want U by my side?

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me)
Touch me (Hold me)
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me)
Touch me (Hold me)

I'm captured by my senses, lost in your reverie
Our love must be stronger than before

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me)
Oh, hold me, babe (Hold me)
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me)
Touch me (Hold me)

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me)
I wanna hold U, baby (Hold me)
(Hold me, touch me, kiss me all over)
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me)
Hold me, kiss me all over (Hold me)

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me)
Kiss me, baby (Hold me)

Faded Photographs

The voice that drew me near U and drew U near 2 me
Has faded from the picture becoming clear 2 me
All that's left are memories of how it used 2 be
We can't erase the past, we can't change our destiny

CHORUS:
Faded photographs - your eyes say a thousand words 2 me
Faded photographs - shadows fill my lonely room
Faded photographs - your eyes say a thousand words 2 me
Faded photographs - shadows fill my lonely room

Reflecting like a mirror racing in my mind
These photographs remind me of what's not far behind
Your eyes told me the story, words of U and I
I can't forget U in the stillness of the night

CHORUS

Don't leave me, don't leave me
No, don't leave me
No!

Words of dandelion racing in my mind

CHORUS

(Fill my lonely room) {repeat till end}
2 + 2 is 4
3 + 3 is 6
8 + 8 is 16
10 - 5 is 5

Koo Koo

Come see Koo Koo man
Doing very worst he can
See him spend his lonely dime
Things design the Koo Koo time

CHORUS:
Koo Koo, Koo Koo
Koo Koo, Koo Koo

Everybody, come see Koo Koo girl
She can't resist the Koo Koo world
2 young 2 know better, 2 old 2 refuse
First she had an abortion, now she's got the blues (She got the blues)
Yes

CHORUS

Come and dig the Koo Koo war
Rumor has, it got started cuz our leaders got bored
New toys with a laser teach children 2 kill
Who knows when they're older, maybe they will
Nothing gained, paradise lost
Koo Koo's the trip and death is the cost
It's your world... 4 a little while
Peace, mother, brother, peace of mind
We got 2 love one another all the time
Cuz a kiss on the lips is better than a knife in the back
Can U get 2 that or is your blue train runnin' on a Koo Koo track?
U're 2 laxed, 2 lazy 2 dig all the facts
What it is y'all? We need a new plan, new plan of attack
Everybody jam, we've got the knack
Let's party y'all, let's party y'all
Cuz a kiss on the lips is better than a knife in the back
Now everybody say it

Koo Koo, Koo Koo
Koo Koo

It's your world (Your world)
4 a little while

Pride And The Passion

In a flash, he caught her eye

He was everything she was lookin' 4
He had big cash and a Brando smile
He was pretty easy 2 adore
She tried her luck, huh, I mean she played the man
She sho'nuff thought she could turn him on
But she got (stuck) stuck when he kissed her hand
And told her that he wanted 2 take her home

Pride and the passion
Laugh all night, cry all day
If true love is old-fashioned
Should we pass or should we play?

In a flash, her life had changed (Life had changed)
Everything she feared was put on trial (Everything was put on trial)
Priorities rearranged (Rearranged)
She said she had 2 have him 4 a little while
And if he's good, he can teach her things (He can teach her things)
Things about herself that she never knew
And if he's the one, the shining armor knight
Think of all the dirty things they could do

CHORUS:
Pride and the passion
Laugh all night, cry all day
Cuz if true love is old-fashioned
Should we pass or should we play?

What's it gonna be?
The pride or the passion, passion, passion?

In a flash, she took a chance
She let him take her 2 his crib
Music played, they started 2 dance
She said she really dug his ad-lib
What went down I don't wanna say (I don't wanna say)
Destiny is yours, don't let it fool ya
And if U're wrong, expect a massive drag
If U're right, more power 2 ya

CHORUS {x2}

Pride, pride and the passion
Pride and the passion, ooh
The pride and the passion
Oh, pride and the passion

Let me tell U 'bout this club I know

U better look twice, there's someone under her dress

CHORUS:
Boy's Club
Meet me later at the Boy's Club

Meet me later at the Boy's Club

Yeah, U're kinda cute
But it's about the perfume
Confusion in your bathroom

Oh yeah, he just asked me 4 a match
And I said - "Yeah, U're face and my shoes"
He said, "U just ruined my night"
And I said - "Yeah, just think
U could be at home watchin' "The Honeymooners"
Wanna dance?"

Light skinned boys think they're so bad
They drink Evian, listen 2 jazz
At home they like symphonies
But when they're at the club, it's Sheila E. (Sheila E.)

CHORUS
(Please) {x2}

Can't help dancin' when U feel the beat (CHORUS)
Can't help watchin' cuz U feel the heat

Boy's Club

Can't help dancin' when U feel the beat

Hon E Man

Hon E man (Hon E man) {x2}
I've got 2 be the victim of your weekend vows {fade out}
Hon E man (Hon E man)

I've got 2 be the victim of your weekend vows
Only 2 discover loneliness aroused
Shades of your past begin 2 stir the heat
Roll over, baby, and get off my satin sheets
Dig up!

Hon E man {x4}

Baby, never in my life in the time I've been with U
Has anyone had the ability 2 make me feel so blue
If U lost my number, that's a story 2 be told
The candle burn at both ends, baby, when niggaz get 2 bold
I might take things 2 serious or maybe not at all
It's just that I'm so curious when love bounces from wall 2 wall
(I'm so curious)
Little girls who sleep at night are better left 2 dream
I've just seen 2 many movies, baby, if U know what I mean
Dig up!

Hon E man {x4}

I've got 2 be the victim of your weekend vows
Only 2 discover loneliness aroused
Shades of your past begin 2 stir the heat
Roll over, baby, get off my satin sheets
Dig up!

He's gonna be missin' the small details
Like the way he moves in his glove
One finger at a time

Hon E man {x2}

Dig up! {fade out}
Come on, sugar, uh!
Uh, play your horn
Good God, dig up!
