It's a losing game I play
In a dog eat dog, show biz town
I've got a dream of my own
And I carry my own weight
But still they try to drag me down

[Chorus]
I'm a woman in a man's world

Got you effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
Didn't I know it was love
The next thing I got was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do
I let myself go

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

Ooh ooh
You're all alone
Well, so am I
We could dance all night
Are you willing to try
All night's all right
If you're in no hurry -- well
Neither am I

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent...flying blind most of the time
Drama queen

Preening and untanglin'
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately she sings

Yin yang
A feeling's evolving through me
Sweet and sour
Is the taste you bring

When I said goodbye, you loved me
When I turned to you, you turned away
When I was so gung-ho

Coltrane (repeat)

Round and round we'll chase
Like a silver train
Focused in a storm
Comin' through the rain
Avalanche of notes
Ships of crystal clear

Another time you were the one in my life
And this world of mine just turned around you
Another time you were the love of my life
That was so long ago
Now you`re here
And those feelings are starting to reappear
Another time I would`ve run to you
I finally learned that I could love somebody new

Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future all planned out
Got my bags packed

Things don't always turn out right
But that's just the way it goes
Before I leave you there's just a few

CHORUS:
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you

Busy, I'm so busy
Climbing higher, moving further every day

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know I'm falling
And I don't know what to say
I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud
And I can't get the words out

Back when we first met
I think it was november
I remember thinking that
You had the sweetest smile

Magic
You have it
Command me I'll obey

When you walked into my lonely life tonight
I saw my destiny, I saw eternity tonight
And the moment I held you I knew it
What we do is decided before we do it

CHORUS:
Fate, this could only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in

Father's waiting 'round the corner
Ticket in his hand
Wants to help his daughter
Protect and understand
Daughter's needing some security
The comfort of a man
Can't face the pain of losing
She's afraid to love again

I wanna get deeper
Deeper than skin
I wanna be more than
just another friend

I'm ready to love you
with all of my heart
But I won't give it if you

Music makes me sing
Goodbye sadness
Hello happiness
Music makes me sing
Goodbye sadness
Hello happiness

Music makes me sing

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey, big spender!

He's on his way
He's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way
He's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood

(Where you goin' child?)

Chaka, Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan

Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

It's not difficult
For me to say i love you
It wouldn't be difficult
If you would say the same
And believe me when i tell you
That i know you very well
I know you like i know my name

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anything you want done baby
I’ll do it naturally
Cause I’m every woman
It’s all in me
It’s all in me

Jamaica Funk... that's what it is
let it get into you
C'mon I've got a groove...you know that i've been
Funkin for Jamaica...
If ya feel it... let it get into you
Jamaica funk that's what it is
let it get into you

Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Time after time, I've pondered this love that I'm feeling
I feel so divine
It must be a crime
Don't take it away

[Bridge:]
More than a few told me "I love you"

[Chorus]
Life is a dance, life is a dance
Life is a dance, life is a dance

Everywhere coast to coast
Around the land
We all have one thing in common
We all love to dance

Love is a burning inside
I never had this feeling before, no
All I know is that it won't let me be myself
Hey, is this really love
Oh maybe that's the reason
I feel so good when you're around
(Feel so good when you're around)

Here is my hand for you to hold.
Here's a part of me they have not sold.
I've wandered far, I've had my fill.
I need you now, do you love me still?

Only you have seen the hidden part of me
Call me fool hearted if you will.
I loved you then, do you love me still?

Cold endless summer days
Since you went away
Tore my heart in two
And now wandering through the night
I see the city lights
Feelin' so in need
I'll never be at peace

Just as sure as I live
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so

My Funny Valentine - Chaka Khan

My funny valentine;
Sweet, comic valentine;
You make me smile
With my heart. Ohhhhh
Your looks are laughable;
Unphotographable;

CHORUS:
Night moods, I love your night moods
Night moods, You've got the right moods

When you're lying here beside me
Ooh you take my breath away
Baby I feel such love inside me
I'm so glad you're going to stay

You, you carry your dreams in your eyes
And if someone hurts you, you cry
And you, you live on a cloud in the sky
And wish on the stars shooting by

Don't let the little woes of life harm me
Let the joy in the life your lead
Let it charm you

Once you get started, oh it's hard to stop
You can't stop you just can't stop
When you get down y'all
When you get down ain't no turnin' back no

Everybody party hearty
To get back in the groove
I like the way you do it .. way you do it

I can tell by the look that's in your eyes
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise
I'm just holdin' you down

But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen few
You got to pay your dues

[Chorus]
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Guide me to the new woman who waits
Current, leave me on the banks
By the cottage

Oh yeah

In France, skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
Soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys

[Chorus]
(We've got to) Sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright
If we just sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright

Tonight there will be no more quarreling
We'll shut out the lights, close our eyes

You've been keeping me in limbo
Playing hide and seek
You've been teasing me 'cause you know
That it makes me weak

You've done everything to fall in love
I know what you're running from
Kisses like these are few and far between

(CHORUS):
Some love
You know it brings me down down down
Some love
You know it brings me down down down

They say that love is heaven sent
Well I guess they told another lie

Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That i'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though i wait on the day
What i'm doing's gotta pay

Caramel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?

Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time 4 games

I will love you anyway
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just want to satisfy you
Though you're not mine
I can't deny you
Don't you hear me talking baby?

I never meant a single thing when you tried it
You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it
I never meant to put it there but somewhere In despair
It got moved into view, then I liked it
I never meant a single word when I said I could love you
I thought it, I heard it, I used it
I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours
Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

(Tonight, ah, tonight)

I'm puttin' on my makeup
It's time to wake up
The owners of the night are calling me
I'm ready and I'm willing
To pull out the happy feeling
Something special's in the air for me

Through The Fire Lyrics
Artist(Band):Chaka Khan

I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart

Lord, I'm gettin' tired of bein' so lonely
I've got the fire inside that burns more than it likes
I've got a hunger that just won't let go
It's ridin' my soul, I can't take it no more

Who's gonna feed my fire
When I need it to sweeten up
And if you think you're man enough for me

Rockets launch us to outer space
Far away from this human wasteland
We're bringing heaven to other worlds
Abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we can't live here as one
There are wise men who say it still can be done

Chorus:

CHORUS:
Walkin' hand and hand
As only lovers can
You must understand
We've got each other
They can scream and fuss
It won't bother us
And that is because

All night and day
Just chippin' away
It's all in a day's work
Tryin' hard to defend
The time that I spend alone
The crown that you lose
Exploiting the blues
Won't get the job done

Any little spark will make a fire
Any little fib will make a liar
I'll tell you more if you enquire
About the things that I desire

'Cause when you open wide
The inevitable steps inside
Take it in stride

All of the girls want a taste of you
They don't seem to care what you put them through
Everybody knows one or two don't get it
You've got such an appetite
Any girl who's loving you will get to prove it
Once it's done and over now

Who's is gonna be this time
