change a thing
I love you just
the way you are
So come with me and

I'd ratherer be a
sparrow than a snail
Yes I would If I could
I surely would Hm hm
I'd rather be a
hammer than a nail
Yes I would
If I only could
I surely would Hm hm
A way I'd rather

Like a swan that's
here and gone
A man gets tied up
to the ground
He gives the world
it's saddest sound
it's saddest sound
Hm hm Hm hm
I'd ratherer be a
forest than a street
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would
I'd ratherer feel

If I only could

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

If I should stay
I would only be in
your way
so I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you
every step of
the way and I
will always
love you

love you
You

memories

I'm taking with me

She was more
like a beauty
Queen from
a movie scene
I said don't mind
but what do you mean
I am the one
who will dance
On the floor
in the round
She said I am the one
who will dance
On the floor
in the round
She told me her name
was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
then every head turned
With eyes that dreamed
of being- the one
Who will dance
on the floor
In the round
people always told me
Be careful of
what you do
And don't go around
breaking
Young girls' hearts
and mother always
Told me be careful of
who you love
And be careful of
what you do
Cause the lie becomes
the truth hey--
Billie Jean
is not my lover
She's just a girl-
who claims that
I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
For forty days
and forty nights
The law was
on her side
But who can stand
when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'cause we danced
On the floor
in the round
So take
my strong advice
Just remember
to always think twice
Do think twice
she told my baby
We'd danced till three
then she looked at me
Then showed a photo
my baby
Cried his eyes
were like mine
'Cause we dance
on the floor
In the round baby
people always told me
Be careful of
what to do
And don't go around
breaking
Young girls' hearts
she came and
Stood right by me
then the smell of
Sweet perfume
this happened much
Too soon
she called me
To her room hey--
Billie Jean
Is not my lover
she's just a girl-
Who claims that
I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
Billie Jean
is not my lover
She's just a girl-
who claims that
I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
But the kid
is not my son-

She says I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
Billie Jean
Is not my lover
she's just a girl-
Who claims that
I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
She says I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
She says I am the one
she says I am the one
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover-

Every breath you take
every move you make
Every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
every single day
Every word you say
every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
since you've gone
I've been lost
without a trace
I dream at night
I can only
See your face
I look around
But it's you
I can't replace
I feel
so cold
And I long for
your embrace
I keep crying baby
baby please-

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you-
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Ooh-
I'll be watching you
I'll be
watching you-

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

Wherever you go
wherever you may
wander in your life
surely you know
I always want to be
there holding your hand
and standing by
to catch you
when you fall
seeing you thru
in ev'rything you do
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be
there.

Watching you grow
and going thru
the changes
in your life
that's how I know
I'll always want to be
there whenever
you feel you need
a friend to lean on
here I am
Whenever you call
you know I'll be there
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there
All I ask you is
let me be there.

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more
for that
Words fall through me
always fool me
And I
can't react
And games that
never amount to
More than they're
meant will play
Themselves
out
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your
hopeful
Voice you
have a choice
You've
make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't
go back
And moods
that take me
And erase me
and I'm painted black
You have
suffered enough
And warred
with yourself
It's time
that you won
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you
Had a choice
you've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along
oh oh

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know

And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know

Taste of your lips

You're toxic

With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride

I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now

To prove you love him

On a silver platter

Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me

Life's like this you
and you fall
And you crawl
and you break
And you take
what you get and you
Turn it into honesty
promise me
I'm never gonna find
you fake it no no no-

Say say say what you
want but don't play
Games with
my affection
Take take take
what you need
But don't leave me
with no direction
All alone I sit home
by the phone
Waiting for you
baby baby
Through the years
how can you stand to
Hear my pleading
for you dear?
You know I'm crying
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now go go go
where you want
But don't leave me
here forever
You you you stay away
so long girl
I see you never what
can I do girl to get
Through to you?
'cause I love you
Baby baby standing
here baptised
In all my tears
baby through the years
You know I'm crying
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

You never ever worry
and you never
Shed a tear
you're saying that
My love ain't real
just look at my face
These tears
ain't drying
You you you can
never say
That I'm not the one
who really loves you
I pray pray pray
every day that
You'll see things
girl like I do
What can I do girl to
get through to you?
'Cause I love you
baby baby standing
Here baptised
in all my tears
Baby through
the years
You know I'm crying
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Say say say
say say say

Life is a moment
in space
When the dream
is gone
It's a lonelier
place
I kiss the morning
goodbye
But down
inside
You know
we never know why
The road is narrow
and long
When eyes meet
eyes
And the feeling
is strong
I turn away
from the wall
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
What do
I do?
With you
eternally mine in love
There is no
measure of time
We planned it all
at the start
That you and I live in
each other's heart
We may be oceans away
you feel my love
I hear
what you say
The truth is
ever a lie
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all

And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
What do
I do?
I am a woman
in love
And I'm talking to you
I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again

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 you
Pardon the way
that I stare
There's nothing else
to compare
The sight of you
makes 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 you
Ba ra ba ra
ba ra ra ba ba
Ba ra ba ra
ba ra ra ba ba
Ba ra ba ra
ba ra ra ba ba
Ba ra
ba ra
I love you
baby
And if it's
quite all right
I need you
baby
To warm
the lonely night
I love you baby
trust in me when I say
Oh pretty
baby
Don't bring me
down I pray
Oh pretty
baby
Now that
I found you stay
And let me love you
baby let me love you
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 you
Ba ra ba ra

Ba ra

To warm

Now that
I found you stay
And let me love you
