- Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
[CHORUS 1]
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.I wannahold you so much.At long last love has arrived.And I thank God I'm alive.You're just too good to be true.Can't take myeyes off of yoy.
Pardon the way that I stare.There's nothing else to compare.The sight of you leaves me weak.There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.Please let me know that it's real.You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.
- Do Wop
Chorus one:
Girls you know you betta watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
(admit two shots in the atmosphere)
- Every Ghetto, Every City
I was just a little girl
Skinny legs, a press and curl
My mother always thought I'd be a star
But way before my record deal,
The streets that nurtured lauryn hill
Made sure that I'd never go too far
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my days in the new jerusalem
- Everything Is Everything
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
(2x)
I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
- Forgive Them Father
[Shelly Thunder]
Forgive us all trespassers as we forgive those that trespass against us
Although them again we will never, never, never trust
Hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Dem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue,
Fling, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you,
True, Ah Who???
- Freedom Time
"Freedom Time"
[Singing Chorus]
Everybody knows that they're guilty
Everybody knows that they've lied
Everybody knows that they're guilty
Resting on their conscience eating their inside
It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
- I Get Out
[Singing Chorus]
I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can`t hold me in these chains
I`ll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin` my condition
Is the reason I must change
- I Gotta Find Peace Of Mind
( G - Em )*
I gotta find peace of mind
I know another cord...
I gotta find peace of mind
See, this what that voice in your head says
- Just Like Water
[Verse 1]
Moving down the streams of my lifetime
Pulls the fascination in my sleeve
Cooling off the fire of my longing
Boiling off my cold within his heat
Melting down the walls of inhibition
Evaporating all of my fears
Baptizing me into complete submission
- Killing me softly
(Norman Gimbel - Charlie Fox)
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for awhile.
And there he was this young boy
- Little Boys
What becomes of little boys
Who dreams are larger than life has ever shown them they should be
What becomes of little boys
Whose goals are bigger than anything in there reality
What happens to young men
Disappointed once again when they find out there not suppose to grow
Do their lives become a lie
Should they wither up and die
- Lose Myself
I used to do it for the love a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love
I used to love without fear a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
Truth was they never did deserve me
- Lost Ones
It's funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complicatioon
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, you-on every station
Sone wan' play young Lauren like she dumb
But remember not a game new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from Bricks to Kingston
- Nothing even matter
Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
Cause nothing even matters at all
See nothing even matters
See nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
- Selah
Nothing can be done against the truth
no matter how we remain in denial, yeah
Wasting time, replacing time with each empty excuse
but that'll only work a little while
Coping with despair, knowing you're not there
ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
So I blame it on the son, run away from everyone
hoping to escape this ridicule
- So Much Things To Say
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yey
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, Why, heh
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'll never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
- Superstar
Come on baby, light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How come we ain't getting no higher?
Now tell me your philosophy
On exactly what an artist should be
Should they be someone with prosperity
And no concept of reality?
- Tell Him
Yo heh heh tell him it's like uhh you know uhh
Sweet sweet SWEET tell him
Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and
- The Passion
If they only owned love, shown love, grown love, like this before
If they only knew love, true love, to love, like this before
If they only gave love, saved love, brave love, like this before
If they only called love, love love, called love, like this before
If they’d only showed love, they owed love, owed love, like this before
If they only showed love, they owed love, owed love, like this before
If they only knew love, true love, to love, like this before
If they only gave love, saved love, brave love, like this before
- The Sweetest Thing
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
Soft caress of happiness
The way you walk, your style of dress
I wish I didn't get so weak
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me
- To Zion
Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
- War In The Mind
Everybody knows that they're guilty
Everybody knows that they've lied
Everybody knows that they're guilty
Resting on their conscience eating their inside
It's freedom, I said it's freedom time now
It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
Time to get free, or give your selves up now
It's freedom, said it's free time yo
- When It Hurts So Bad
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
- You're just too good to be true
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna
hold you so much. At long last love has
arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're
just too good to be true. Can't take my
eyes off yoy.
