Crazy4U
Sometimes my friends are funny to me
They don’t know how you make me feel
They’re on the outside looking in
Can’t understand how this can be real
My friends say I’m crazy - crazy
Crazy for you girl - 4U
But I say they’re crazy - crazy
Cuz they don’t know you babe - 4U
My friends say I’m crazy - crazy
Crazy for you baby - 4U
But I call’em crazy - crazy
Cuz they don’t know you babe - 4U
It’s so easy to misunderstand
Love relations between a woman and her man
Nobody knows what you do for me
The way I know it and the way I see
They call me crazy - cause I give you my time
They call me crazy - cause I give you my dime
And I know I’m crazy but it’s alright with me
Cause you have been chosen to help fulfill my destiny
Gotta be alright for me
Doing what makes me happy
If I am crazy - I’m crazy4U
Sure thing about, we’re all a little crazy
Some are crazy for money, fortune, and fame
I chose to be crazy bout my baby
And I go crazy everytime you call my name
Lyrics

LET IT GO
Ok, so here we are together in this lonely car
and although we’re moving, we’re not getting very far
yea, I see you sittin’ over there, but it feels real bazaar
because frankly, I can’t tell exactly where you are
I’m trying to figure this thing out while I’m still in my prime
how we’ve allowed our love to descend so far from sublime
Why does it always feel like I’m doing time
and the sentence that I’m serving now is for someone else’s crime
Let it go...baby, let it go
It hurts me to know it still hurts you so
It’s affecting the love I want to show
You want me to stay?...got to let it go
Whoa, don’t go postal...can I explain my interpretation
Baby, you’ve been making me the target of your frustration
Your past regrets have tainted our present relation
and the bitter taste of what you’ve experienced before has brought our love negation
Our love should be a love that stands alone
not predicated on or compared to those lovers that you’ve once known
More than anything right now I need to know you’ve grown
For the sake of love let’s take what we have left and move on
Let it go...baby, let it go
It hurts me to know it still hurts you so
It’s affecting the love I want to show
You want me to stay?...got to let it go
Sweetie, you can’t keep reliving all those hurts that you’ve been through
and because I love you so much, when you’re hurting, I hurt too
It’s one thing to reminisce about the pain for learning, true
But quite another when you let it affect your love life, boo
If you want to enjoy the trip of life, you’ve got to travel light
Baggage fees are expensive and they sure can affect your flight
It’s hard to get up off the ground when your heart’s not right
With the clouds of unforgiveness around, our destination can’t be bright
Let it go...baby, let it go
It hurts me to know it still hurts you so
It’s affecting the love I want to show
You want me to stay?...got to let it go
Lyrics
IF I FALL
Been awhile since I’ve had
Someone to make me smile...make me glad
Circumstance has a way of
hurting romance in the frey of
Everyday touch and go
sometimes I don’t know
Where to go
Or what to do about my heartbreak
cause I feel an earthquake
When I take one look at you
So If I fall
Let me fall in your arms baby
If I fall for you
Please be sure to take care
of my heart
I’m not the one to play
With women’s hearts then say
That boys will be boys
And you were my toy
It’s all just a ploy to hide
They just don’t know how to love
Or what to love, or who to love
All I’m asking from you is
Treat me right when I call
Cause I’m a-bout to fall...for you
I believe you’re the one for me
I believe I’m the one for you
I’m ready to let love let it be
Tell me that you’re ready too
Lyrics
THE B SIDE
In the old school
there was a thing called 45’s
And it was the rule
to put your best song on the A side
You saved your weak song
and your incomplete song
for the B side
it was the back side
Now to expose my pride
I’ve been spending all my time
flexing my A side
trying to fit a paradigm
But my B side
that’s the me-side
and it’s longing for some of your time
and my project needs a song - for the B side
I need more of you
on the B side
I’ll do what you need me to do
Now my B side
is the side that nobody sees
it’s the dark side
the side so desparately in need
And I take no pride
in the fact that I lied
when I said I didn’t need you by my side
to help me get through this life
I had to decide
what was more important to me
your love or my pride
thank you for helping me see
that I need to take the ride
go ahead make you my bride
cause in you I can confide
and you love me for me - on my B side
you know my good and you know my bad
On the B side
You’re the best love that I’ve ever had
On the B side
I can be real and keep it true
On the B side
Shade my inhibitions with you
On the B side
You know me like nobody else does
On the B side
I’m affaid to let anybody else know me but you know me for me
And I thank for loving me in spite of me - On the B side
You know me baby
You know me baby
Lyrics
IT’S NOT OVER
It ain’t da ndada wurl
Dry your eyes and try again
It ain’t da ndada wurl
It’s not over ‘til you win
Until you close your eyes
For the last realize
It ain’t da ndada wurl until then
It’s a big day 4U
Gotta job interview
Been awhile since you’ve had
A job to go to
You’re dressed up and looking good
You have all the things that you should
You’ve been dreaming of the day
You can finally leave the hood
Waiting by the phone
For that call to come
When it finally does
It leaves you undone
Tonight’s a special night
You think you found Mr. Right
Praying that he will ask the question
Will you kindly be his wife
The restaurant is off the chain
And he asks you to have Champagne
You can hardly eat your dinner
Hoping that he’ll make it plain
He takes you by the hand
Looks you straight in the eyes
Next thing that he says
Makes you wanna die
It ain’t da ndada wurl
Spread your wings and fly again
It ain’t da ndada wurl
It’s not over ‘til you win
Until you close your eyes
For the last realize
It ain’t da ndada wurl until then
You have so much more to give
People to love and life to live
It’s not over - It’s not over ‘til you finally reach your goal
It’s not over - It’s not over ‘til your story has been told
It’s not over - Keep the faith, I know it’s gotta come
You can’t leave this place until your work is done
It ain’t da ndada wurl
Lift your head and dream again
It ain’t da ndada wurl
It’s not over ‘til you win
Until you close your eyes
For the last realize
It ain’t da ndada wurl until then
Lyrics
Sensitive Man
You’ve given all that you have to give to that man
In return he gave you nothing
You’ve asked him to be kinder to you if he can
In return he called you something - bad
I understand - you need a sensitive man 2x
Someone to understand
When you get to the place you’ve had enough of his game
I’ll be waiting here for you
I’m standing here to caress your heart and proclaim
My undying love for you
You deserve the best that love has to give
You deserve to live the way you want to live
Vamp: Wanna be that man for you
Do the things you want me to
You need sensitivity
You will get it all from me
Lyrics

Need2Know you know I’m there
Need2Know that I’m thinking of ya

Lyrics
CLEAR MY MIND
Gonna take a long stroll Though a city park
Enjoy the scenery
‘Till after dark
I’m gonna let go
Of all the things that bind
I’m gonna clear my mind
I’m gonna re-embrace my spontaneity
Giving all I have to Whatever comes to me
I’m gonna focus on
The new joy I find
I’m gonna clear my mind
There’s so much more to living life
I’ve got to leave all of the strife
I want to see where I was blind
By clearing my mind
I’m gonna take a day
or better take a week
Visit some old friends
Go fishing by the creek
Then let the fish go free off the fishing line
I’m gonna clear my mind
I’m gonna steal away to a quiet place
In the mountain air where I can see God’s face
I’m gonna leave the care of this world behind
I’m gonna clear my mind.
There’s so much more to living life
I’ve got to leave all of the strife
I want to see where I’ve been blind
Clear my mind….
I’m gonna write myself a letter
I’m gonna listen to what I say
I’m gonna write down all my problems
Ball them up and throw them away.
Ain’t gonna care about no money
Gonna take it day by day
I’m gonna live in the moment
And give my love away
Lyrics
GONE AWAY
If there’s one thing that I am guilty of
It’s holding on to long when it comes to love
Because I hate to lose, I give it all I’ve got
But sometimes I miss the signs of what I think it’s not.
But if you’re wondering how I remain so cool
After all you’ve done to make me look like a fool
But rest assured, took a long time to say
But I am finally cured and the pain has gone away.
All my pain has gone away.
Now I get of bed and I can lift my head
All my pain has gone away.
There’s nothing like the pain of a broken heart
To make you bust a move...get a brand new start
And I refuse to blame, though we had to part
Love you just the same, but somebody had to be smart.
And if you’re wondering how I can truly smile
When I see your face, though its been a long while
And if it blows your mind that I offered to
lend you a helping hand after all that I’ve been through
It’s because all my pain has gone away
And when I can get on with the rest of my life
It’s because the pain has gone away
And when I’m no longer moved by the memory of the strife
It’s because that pain has gone away
And when you see me feeling free again
All my pain is gone away.
Gone away…Repeat
I’m in another place
I’m chill’n in a brand new space
Living a brand new life
Found me a beautiful wife
What I say is true
Girl, I ain’t mad at you.
And the pain I used to know
I just had to let it go.
All my pain is gone away – Repeat
I forgive you boo!
Please forgive me, too.
And let’s all be free to love happily
All my pain is gone away…
Lyrics
IF I EVER
I don’t want to do the things that others think that I should do
Will you be my one and only Nobody else knows me like you
And if I ever act like I don’t know you, don’t love you…
You have the right to wake me and shake me
Out of my egotistical flight
It ain’t right.
If I ever act like I don’t love you…it ain’t right
If I ever act like I don’t need you…you know it ain’t right…
Lyrics
SWEET SURRENDER
It’s Friday night
Put the phone away
It’s time for love
Forget about your day
It’s our night to let it go
No one can tell what they don’t know
Leave your problems at the office
Leave your coffee on the desk
Leave your worries at the door step,
And let’s not talk about the rest
It’s time we make time for us – to love
I know sometimes its hard to make it in this world
And sometimes I know you think you can’t shake it baby girl
But let’s take some time for us...to love
Lay all your burdens down.
Lay ‘em down, girl
Lay ‘em down, girl
Smile for me...and lose that frown
It’s time to take time for us
Now is the time for us to love…
Sweet Surrender….oh, baby
I surrender babe…
Lyrics
THRU THE NIGHT
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do is
Get through the night
Don’t wanna to fight - anymore
All I wanna do is get through the night
Don’t want to fight - anymore
Now most of the time we have a love
That others are envious of
We demonstrate...appreciate
the happy home our love creates for us
There’s just
the times when we are so far spent
Fighting for entitlement
And after wasting precious time
‘cause everyone must speak their mind
When we get down to the core
Forgot what we were fight for
One minute you say I’m everything
you ever wanted a man to be
Well, that’s me.
Well it was a trip when you let it slip
That I wasn’t being the man you wanted me to be
Yea, that’s news to me
Does it really matter who’s right? No.
Does it really matter who’s wrong? No.
Can we make it through the night
My heart’s just not that strong
I don’t wanna to fight anymore.
Don’t wanna fight anymore
All I wanna do is get thru the night
Lyrics
UNCONDITIONALLY
Took awhile for me - to finally figure out
You’re much more than what they say You’re about
I am truly glad - that I can finally see
that it’s not your way - to take away from me
Took some twists and turns - to get me to the place
I could learn to receive and enjoy Your grace
And they forgot to tell me - most importantly
That You’re crazy about me - unconditionally
You take me - just the way I am
You teach me - when I get into a jam
You bear with me - when I’m acting crazy
You love me - unconditionally
They told me - You see everything I do
Because I messed up so bad - I was scared of You
Thank You - cuz You delivered me
from someone else’s - twisted reality
Cannot count the times - You forgave my sins
You rescued me - from my lion’s dens
Although it’s true - You chastise me too
You turn right around and let me love on You
You love me - when I’m right, when I’m wrong
You love me - when I’m weak, when I’m strong
You love me - that’s why I wrote this song
You love me - unconditionally
Lyrics
Let’s Stay Together
I…I…I…I love you, I love you
Let’s stay together baby
I…I…I…I…love you, I love you
Let’s stay together
I made my share of mistakes
And you made your share of yours
And for the sake of love
Let’s stay together and not close any doors.
‘Cause I love you
You know I do…
Let’s stay together, babe. Let’s stay together baby.
‘Cause I love you
You know I do
Let’s stay together babe. Let’s stay together baby.
I’ve come to know you
You’ve come to know me, personally
Don’t wanna start over with somebody new
Made up my mind to stay with you.
I’m quite aware what’s out there
But I don’t care. Let’s stay together baby
Through the joy; through the pain
Through the sunshine; through the rain
I wanna stay with you girl.
It’s not easy lov’n folk
Making love last ain’t no joke
So let’s stay together
Make this thing last forever.
I’m quite aware what’s out there
But I don’t care.
Lyrics
