1. WHEN YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE - ALICIA KEYS

I'm a woman

Lord knows it's hard

I need a real man to give me what I need

Sweet attention, love and tenderness

When it's real, its unconditional, I'm telling ya’ll

Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain’t man enough


To love you when you're right

Love you when you're wrong

Love you when you're weak

Love you when you're strong

Take you higher when the world got you feeling low

He's giving you his last, cause he’s thinking of you first

Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm telling ya’ll, I'm telling ya’ll


Cause you're a real man

And Lord knows it's hard

Sometimes you just need a woman's touch

Sweet affection, love and support

When it's real its unconditional

I'm telling ya’ll, oh

Cause a woman ain't a woman if she ain’t woman enough


To love you when you're right

Love you when you're wrong

Love you when you're weak

Love you when you're strong

Take you higher when the world got you feeling low

She's giving you her best, even when you’re at your worse

Giving comfort when she's thinking that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm telling ya’ll, I'm telling ya’ll

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


Sometimes you're gonna argue, sometimes you're gonna fight

Sometimes it's gonna feel like it'll never be right

But something so strong keeps you hold’n on

It don't make sense but it makes a good song

Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain’t man enough


To love you when you're right

Love you when you're wrong

Love you when you're weak

Love you when you're strong (Love when you when you’re strong)

(Take you high’a) when the world got you feeling low

He's giving you his last, cause he’s thinking of you first

Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm telling ya’ll, I'm telling ya’ll

I'm telling ya’ll that a woman ain't a woman if she ain’t woman enough

(To love ya!)

Love you when you're right

Love you when you're wrong

(To hold ya!)

Love you when you're weak

Love you when you're strong

Take you higher and higher

when the world got you feeling low

She's giving you her best, even when you’re at your worse

(even when you’re at your worst, BABYBA!)

Giving comfort when she's thinking that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm telling ya’ll, I'm telling ya’ll

Mm, mm, yeah (4x)







2. TAKE ME AS I AM - MARY J. BLIGE


[Verse 1:]


She's been down and out


She's been wrote about


She's been talked about, constantly


She's been up and down


She's been pushed around


But they held her down, NYC


She has no regrets


She accepts the past


All these things they


helped make to make she


She's been lost and found


And she's still around


There's a reason for everything



You know I've been holdin on.


Try to make me weak,


But I still stay strong.


Put my life all up in these songs


Jus so you can feel me.



[Chorus:]


So take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.


Just take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.



[Verse 2:]


Now she's older now


Yes, she's wiser now


Can't disguise her now


She don't need


No one tellin her


What to do and say


No one tellin her


Who to be


She's on solid ground


She's been lost and found


Now, she answers to G-O-D


And she's confident


This is not the end


Ask me how I know


Cause she is me.



You know I've been holdin on.


Try to make me weak,


But I still stay strong.


Put my life all up in these songs


Jus so you can feel me.



[Chorus:]


So take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.


Just take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.



[Bridge: 2x]


So it's all or nothing at all,


All or nothing at all


Don't you know I can only be me.


(I can only be me, yeah)



[Chorus:]


So take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.


Just take me as I am,


or have nothing at all.



Take me as I am.


Take me as I am.


Said it's all or nothing at all


Said it's all or nothing at all



Just take me as I am,


or have nothing at all. (This is me)


Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)


or have nothing at all.


Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)


or have nothing, nothing at all.


Take me as I am.



3. LOVE - KEISHA COLE


[Verse 1]



I used to think that I wasn't fine enough


And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough


But I won't waste my time tryin' to figure, out


why you playing games, whats this all about


And I can't believe,


Your hurting me


I mad your girl, what a difference


What you see in her


You aint see in me


But i guess it was all just make-believe



[Chorus]



Oh, Love


never knew what I was missing


but I knew once we started kissin'


I found......


Love


never knew what I was missin'


but I knew once we start kissin'


I found.....



[Verse 2]



I can go, what am I gonna do


I'm so oo empty


my heart, my soul can't go on


Go on baby without you....


My rainy days fade away when you,


come around please tell me baby


why you go so far away


Why you go...



[Chorus]



Love......


never knew what I was missing


but I knew once we started kissin'


I found......


Love

but I knew once we start kissin'


I found.....



I found you

Now I go, what am I gonna do


I'm so oo empty


my heart, my soul can't go on


Go on baby without you....


Rainy days fade away


when you come around


say your here to stay


With me boy


I don't want you to leave me


I need you.........



[Chorus]



[fade out]



4. DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE - BEYONCE KNOWLES


I love you


Baby I love you

You are my life

My happiest moments weren't complete

If you weren't by my side

You're my relation

In connection to the sun

With you next to me

There's no darkness I can't overcome

You are my raindrop

I am the sea

With you and God, who's my sunlight

I bloom and grow so beautifully

Baby, I'm so proud

So proud to be your girl

You make the confusion

Go all away

From this cold and messed up world


I am in love with you

You set me free

I can't do this thing

Called life without you here with me

Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you

I'll never leave

Just keep lovin' me

The way I love you loving me


And I know you love me

Love me for who I am

Cause years before I became who I am

Baby you were my man

I know it ain't easy

Easy loving me

I appreciate the love and dedication

From you to me

Later on in my destiny

I see myself having your child

I see myself being your wife

And I see my whole future in your eyes

Thought of all my love for you

sometimes make me wanna cry

Realize all my blessings

I'm grateful

To have you by my side


Every time I see your face

My heart smiles

Every time it feels so good

It hurts sometimes

Created in this world

To love and to hold

To feel

To breathe

To love you


Dangerously in love

Can't do this thing

I love you , I love you, I love you

I'll never leave

Just keep on loving me

I'm in love with you

I can not do

I cannot do anything without you in my life

Holding me, kissing me, loving me

Dangerously

I love you

Dangerously in love



5. MY ALL - MARIAH CAREY

I am thinking of you

In my sleepless solitude tonight

If it's wrong to love you

Then my heart just won't let me be right

'Cause I've drowned in you

And I won't pull through

Without you by my side

[Chorus:]

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

'Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight


Baby can you feel me

Imagining I'm looking in your eyes

I can see you clearly

Vividly emblazoned in my mind

And yet you're so far

Like a distant star

I'm wishing on tonight

[Chorus]


Give my all for your love

Tonight



6. EX-FACTOR - LAURYN HILL

It could all be so simple
But youd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity see
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you cant stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity see
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Hook:
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It aint workin
It aint workin
And when I try to walk away
Youd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just cant be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and Ill let go too
cause no ones hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

Repeat hook

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me

There for me, there for me
Said youd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me
You said youd die for me

Give to me, give to me
Why wont you live for me
(repeat)


7. RAIN ON ME - ASHANTI

Mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...

That I’m gonna be around



And over and over I tried

Yet over and over you lied

I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna breathe

Baby, just rain on me

Lord, won’t you take this pain from me

I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna breathe, no



See, I don’t want to hold my pillow late at night no

more

I’m tossin’ and turnin’ and thinkin’ ‘bout burnin’

down these walls

I-I don’t wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no

more

See, I made up my mind ‘cause I’ve wasted my time

Ain’t nothin’ here to keep me warm



And over and over I tried

Yet over and over you lied

Gettin’ over and over my pride, yeah

I don’t know why



And over and over I tried

Yet over and over you lied

Gettin’ over and over my pride, yeah

I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried

I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna breathe

Baby, just rain on me

Lord, won’t you take this pain from me

I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna breathe, no



I’m so tired of the rain

In my life

And I’m so tired of the strain

And now you’re gonna lie



‘Cause sometimes I can’t sleep at night and

This here it just don’t seem right and

Sometimes I just wonder why I

Don’t know, let my life go by



‘Cause sometimes I can’t sleep at night and

This here it just don’t seem right and

Sometimes I just wonder why I

Don’t know, let my life go by



Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...

Ooh...ooh...

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la...

La-la-la-la-la-la

Ooh...ooh...ooh...



8. STRANGER IN MY HOUSE - TAMIA

I don't understand

You look just like the man

In the picture by our bed

The suspence is pounding and clouding up my head

I'm checkin' your clothes

And you wear the same size shoe

You sleep in his spot

And you're driving his car

But I don't know just who you are


There's a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There's no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn't touch me like that

And he wouldn't treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me

So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house


I'm not sure who you are

Don't see your shadow around when you walk

Ain't leavin' no kisses

Goodbye with no words

If these walls could talk

They would have nothing to tell


So what could it be?

Is there someone immitating me?

Could she be taking my place?

Look me in the face

And tell me that I'm wrong

When I say...


There's a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There's no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn't touch me like that

And he wouldn't treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me

So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house


Pop quiz

Tell me where we first kissed

Tell me where my spot is

Tell me if I liked it, loved it

Or could it be

That the stranger is me

Have I changed so drastically?

Is it I want more for me?

And you remain the same


There's a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There's no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn't touch me like that

And he wouldn't treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me

So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house



9. IN MY MIND - HEATHER HEADLEY


Imagine seeing him on the town

Holding another hand

She's starin' me down,

So I figure that he told her who I am.

But it don't matter either way,

What they do or say cause ain't nothin' changed.

He's standing with her, but his soul is calling out my name.



In my mind, I'll always be his lady.

In my mind, I'll always be his girl.



Saw his momma just the other day,

Said he'd been through a spell.

Had a bad break up, thinks he's on his way up, it's hard to tell.

She said I think it'd do some good if you called him every now and then.

You see he's been through some things and I'm thinking he could really use a friend.



In my mind, I'll always be his lady.

In my mind, I'll always be his girl.

Only time can tell if I'm his lady.

But in my mind, I'll always be his girl.



They say if you love something, you've got to let it go.

And if it comes back, then it means so much more.

But if it never does, at least you will know,

That it was something you had to go through to grow.



In my mind, I'll always be his lady.

In my mind, I'll always be his girl.

Only time will tell if I'm his lady.

But in my mind, I'll always be his girl.



Always feel this way about ya,

Always be your lady,

In my heart, in my mind.

In my heart, in my mind.

In my soul, in my mind.

Baby you should know,

You're in my thoughts, in my mind.

You're in my prayers, in my mind.

I'll always keep you there.



Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


10. EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER - VIVIAN GREEN


[Verse 1:]

Last night I cried tossed and turned, woke up with dry eyes.

My mind was racing, feet were paceing.

Lord help me please tell me what have I gotten into.

Ran my 3 miles to clear my mind, it always me out,

it's my therapy when I'm losing it which is usually.


[Hook:]

I'm on a emotional rollercoaster.

Loving you aint nothing healthy.

Loving you ws never good for me.

But I can't get off.


[Verse 2:]

Yesterday I told myself I was gonna be okay.

Gonna start a new day be truley happy.

I was gonna take contol of me.

But eventually reality hit me.

Mentally, physicaly, emotionally.

And I opened my eyes and realized

that I was still being taken for a constant ride


[Hook]


[Bridge:]

So tired of you making love to me, then disappearing so suddenly.

Up and down it goes.

And I'm so tired of you pacifying me

with promises you know that you'll never keep.

Round and round it goes.


[Hook]



11.  WEARY - AMEL LARRIEUX


This woman is growing weary


Of having to be so strong


Of having to pretend I�m made of stone


So I won�t end up with no broken bones


I can�t fight every battle alone



I want someone to lift me


Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head


Say words that should be said


Fear is not the matter


I would so much rather open up my heart


And lay down my guard



Chorus:


If I could trust someone


To have my back and never do me wrong


Then I would give my love up


Just like that stop singing this soldier song


(repeat)



whomever said love was overrated


must not be getting� none


my independent days have had their fun


but when the parties over


and the workin� day is done


I just want to come home to someone



I want a love to take me


As I am not make me compromise myself


Or be like no one else


Fear is not the matter


I would so much rather open up my heart


And just lay down my guard



Chorus



12. READY FOR LOVE - INDIA ARIE

I am ready for love,
why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
to be held in your
capitivity

I am ready for love,
all of the joy
and the pain
and all the time that it takes
just to
stay in your good grace

lately I've been
thinking maybe you're not
ready for me,
Maybe you
think I need to learn maturity
they say watch what you ask
for 'cuz you might receive
but if you ask me tomorrow,
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love,
would you please lend me your ear
I promise I won't
complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to
you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
to a
man who loves music
a man who loves art
respect the
spirit world and thinks with his heart

I am ready for
love
if you'll take me in your hands
I will learn
what you teach
and do the best that I can

I am
ready for love
here with an offering of my voice
my
eyes, my soul, my mind
tell me what is enough
to prove
I am ready for love

I am ready.
