YOU GOT THE FLAVOR

I don't really mean to lead you on
All I wanna do is take you home
You got that flavor

Baby, baby, you got the flavor,
Baby, baby you got the flavor,
You got that flavor


You got it and I want it
You got the flavor and I really really need it, girl
Let's not get fakin',
I want you to shake it
Pretty girl, I don't really wanna lead you on
I don't really mean to lead you on
All I wanna do is take you home
You got that flavor.

Chorus


Let's not get serious, just straight to business
Because your lovin'is all that I need.
My body's achin', don't feel like waitin', baby
Pretty girl, I don't really wanna lead you on
I don't really mean to lead you on,
All I wanna do is take you home
You got that flavor


Chorus


I really want it, I really need it
Baby you got the flavor
I don't really mean to lead you on,
All I wanna do is take you home
'Cause you got that flavor
Baby, you got it, baby, I need it
You got that flavor.


RAP:
Yo it's Donnie
Call me the player, ya dig
Like your style, trip with with a New Did
Said she didn't want to, changed her mind
Backseat in the jeep and then I went for mine
Gotta go low, real low, nice and slow
Can't miss one color on the rainbow
Don't front, girl, you know what is about

Take your chance, turn my taste buds out


I don't really mean to lead you on
(I really don't baby, I really don't baby)
All I wanna do is take you home
You got that flavor.
Baby you got it, when I need it
Just come a little closer, babe,
All I wanna say is:
You got the flavor, baby, yes you do
...and I wanna taste you each and every day.



DIRTY DAWG

You should have treated me right
But you left me lonely and cold at night.
Since you won't, someone will
Treat me better and be for real.

If you didn't want it you shoulda let me know
But since you didn't want it, then girl you got to go.
You left me sad and lonely, and ran away from home
So since I'm not your only, then go and fetch your bone.


Chrous:
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Dawg, ooh, you're a dirty, dirty,
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Dawg, oh, you're sow damn dirty.


I gave you all that I can
Til I caught you swingin'with another man
But this time you strayed too far
Now you come beggin' like the dog you are.

If you didn't want it you shoulda let me know
But since you didn't want it, then girl you got to go.
Don't think that you can play me, and jerk me all around.
You used to be ma baby, now your ass is in the pound.


Chorus:
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Oohh, you're a drty, dirty,
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg
Oh, you're so damn dirty.


Yo, yo, why you wanna act like a tramp, a wet food stamp,
I think it's time for me to break camp
Had a crush on my man the first time we met.
Now what you see is what you get
Lost more than a mil on a gambling bet
So here's the Chuckwagon for the dog in you,
Here's the kennelration and the Alpo too

Now you know I didn't want her
She tried to back me on a corner told her
Blow the horn like little Jack Horner
Forever forbidden, the fast girls in life
The fast cars they call'em kittens
They've been known to amaze
But they can't pull one over me
I got game for days
Save the sap rap for the handicapped
I've been around the block and I didn't
Fall for the trimmed trap.


Chorus



GIRLS

I like what you know, I like what you show
No doubt about it, I wanna be where you go.
I wouldn't change it, or try to explain it
Some guys can be with girls and wind up complainin`
But I wouldn't if I could
I'm not that kind of yesterday a mood swing serious.
It's just sauce for the goods
I don't even want to figure it out
I'm too busy thinkin'about you.

Chorus
Girls, where would boys be without girls to love
You know that I'd be with you girls,
Where would boys be without girls to love - sweet love


What would I do without someone like you
Without your sexy smile, those ways won't cramp my style
But you made me sweat when you played hard to get
One kiss from your lips though and I forget
That's how you make me feel on the real to real
All I wanna do is be true to you
Don't need the loneliness, to hell with phoniness
I would never leave love out, because I'm all about you, girl


Chorus
Can live with em,can live with em, can't live without girls


RAP:
You got me sweatin, can't ya tell?
Without perfume I love your natural smell
Others won't say that, they like to front
'Cause if they ain't one way, then the girl's a skunk
But you can be yourself, come and chill a while
Do your own thing, it won't cramp my style.
And I'll be there goin'right with the flow
Yeah I know, and also love the way you show
Your innocent side, your straightup side
Look we can make you work without the foolish pride
And where would I be without my girl
You know it really doesn't matter, wouldn't trade her for the world.


Chorus


I like the things you know, I like the things you show
I wanna be where you go.
Makin' me want you, all the things you do
I speak for whatever you do


Chorus



IF YOU GO AWAY

Girl, I just can't live without you
I know I hurt you
That's the last thing I meant to do
Sometimes I can be careless and blind
Can you forgive the fool that I've been?

You know I love you
You're the one thing I have that's true
My life used to be nothing to me
I never want to feel that again

Chorus:
If you go away girl
You're taking my heart with you
If you go away girl
You'll be breaking my heart in two
If you only stay girl
I promise you the world
So please don't ever go away

You know I need you
I'm so sorry that I made you cry
You are everything good in my life
Your tears have finally opened my eyes

Chorus

I was so wrong to ever look at another baby
Even the strongest man can stumble and fall
And I'll do anything for you
Anything to be in your arms again
Baby don't let this be the end

Chorus

Girl, I just can't live without you

Never, ever leave me girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say you'll never leave me girl (repeat and fade)



KEEP ON SMILINī

Oh baby, yeah, girl, you always make me feel so good inside
What about you and me?
We were supposed to play for keeps. Home grown from the streets,
The jungle in our reach
It ain't about bein' a hood
When you touch me like you should,
I'll rule every day
You let me in your world.

Chorus:
You see through of these years our love remains,
The moon will never let the tide go away
Through the pleasure and pain,
Through the sunshine and rain,
Baby, we keep on smilin'
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years,
Baby, we keep on smilin'
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin', smilin' for me, come on now,
Baby, keep smilin', keep on smilin'

Headin' out to the beach,
Try to claim a few rays
Jump in the back seat,
We're gonna taste the grape,
Red and white they both go,
We're cruisin' the way.

That's right, pretty girl, no matter how hard things might get, you can always count on me.

Hey, you see...

Baby keep smilin'...



NEVER LET YOU GO

Chorus:
Close your eyes
Realize
It's you and I
Take my hand
Understand
That I'm your man
If loving you is right I can't go wrong
Girl, we've known each other for so long
Chemistry between us has grown strong
You are the one and only meaning to this song

God's gift to man is what you are
You make me feel there's no such thing as too far
Forever's just enough time to show you girl
That I'm not acting like I know
I'll never let you go

Chorus

I will never let you
Think that I am someone that I'm not
You're down for me
I'm holding on to what I've got
First impressions work I've always found
Being with you I know my heart's on solid ground

People say we can't
I know we can
Can't stop it anyway so take my hand
Let's make this something special
I want this to grow
Because of the loyalty you show
I'll never let you go

Chorus

For too long I've known
And far too strong I've grown attached to you
Just call me your own
Everywhere people breaking up
That won't happen to us
Because we were friends before lovers


I'll never let you down girl
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go, oh no


Rap:
It feels good to see your face
Come have a seat
Sit by the fireplace and
I'll massage your shoulders if they hurt
I can tell by your eyes, a hard day at work
God's gift to man
Though some might say that
We're too young to understand
But I've got a firm grip on reality
And you and me is right where I wanna be...
Wrapped in your arms
And you in mine
A love like this is really hard to find
So I won't front and try to play love games
I'll always be the same, won't a damn thing change
You hear me talking?
Trust what I'm about--love and understanding
Won't play each other out
You got a feeling that I'm doing you low?
Girl it's not so
I'll never let you go



KEEPINīMY FINGERS CROSSED

Chorus:
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt,
But I'm keepin'my fingers crossed

She was just turning 17
He always promised her he'd stay
They were so love crazy 'til she had a baby
Then he turned and walked away.


How long will we keep this goin' on
Before we find a way
to care for each other
Living for today, we`ll never see tomorrow.


Chorus


He was just out to get a wreck
He was too proud to show his pain
Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured
He would lose at his own game.


How long can we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
We could find a way, it may not be too late.


Chorus


Take a look around, See how hard it is
To survive these days
But sometimes you wonder
How long can this keep goin' on
I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed


How long will we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
Livin'for today, we may not see tomorrow


Chorus



MRS. RIGHT

Keepin' on..... Keep keepin' on....
Rap:
Yo, all I wanna do is like swing with you, is like swing with you, just swing with you, yo baby, all I wanna do is like swing with you, so come on girl and swing, so we can do our thing! All I wanna do is like swing with you, is like swing with you, just swing with you, yo baby, all I wanna do is like swing with you, is like swing with you, just swing!

Ooh, ooh, baby
Come on, sugar
Baby, baby, come on

May be a fool to let my heart control me
And my mind is telling me I'm crazy
Is she the one although she hardly knows me
Should I cut her off, for my own safety
Will it last forever?
I don't think so
Will we stay together?
I don't know
My friends say never
Let your heart control you
Is it for the better?
Tell me so

Chorus:
Are you really Mrs. Right
'Cause I can't make up my mind
Girl you are so fine, so fine
Baby let me know the deal,
'Cause I gotta know if it's for real
Say you will be mine, all mine

Are you really? (repeat 4 times)

Where do I turn, I don't know which way
Will I ever learn from my own mistakes
If I play it smooth will Mrs. Right swing this way
Or will it lead to another heartache, baby
Will it last forever?
I don't think so
Will we stay together?
I don't know
My friends say never
Let your heart control you
Is it for the better?
Tell me so

Chorus twice

(I just can't fight it) I just can't fight it
(The way I feel) The way that I feel about you
(You've got to tell me) Tell me baby
(Are you for real?) Oh, baby

Rap

Chorus three times and fade



SINCE YOU WALKED INTO MY LIFE

Time after time
Everything that I've tried
Can't do nothing at all
Everywhere I walk, nowhere to turn
I was losing my way
Crying every day
I was givin' up and you walked into my life
I never knew anything about love
In the world that I know
Lovers come and go
Nobody anywhere, talk like you do
Saying dreams can come true
Then you made me feel just like a man should feel

Chorus:
Ever since you walked into my life
All at once, I feel so strong inside
Anything you ask of me
I'll do it faithfully
Since you walked into my life (into my life)

Yeah, girl
You're the only one for me
Oh, girl

Oh baby (oh baby)
Now I've got a reason to live
And oh darling
How I love the sweet love you give (oh baby)
And I wanna spend my life with you
Wanna make your dreams come true
Every step you take I wanna be with you

Chorus

I am learning that the touch of love is magic
Feel it once, and you will see your world so differently
Nothing stays the way that it was
Everything begins again
You're not who you've always been

Chorus

Ever since you came into my life
I wanna be with you, girl

Since you walked into
Since you walked into my life
Girl, nothing's ever felt
Nothing's ever felt so right
Baby, I wanna be with you
Since you walked into
Since you walked into my life
I wanna be with you


Repeat and fade



LETīS PLAY HOUSE

Oh baby
Think it's time
That you let me come inside your happy home
Show what you what a man like me can do
When you let me get next to you
Baby come and let me love you
All night
Can you imagine
What we could do alone?
Turn off the phone
I'll teach you passion
Come inside your happy home

I'll do you right
Oh baby please stay
Stay with me forever
Make love every day
We'll be makin' love
Let's do it together

Chorus:
Let's play house
Come and live with me in my dreams
Our secret hideaway
Let's play house
Take a ride the night has just begun
Let me love you 'til the morning light

When we're together
I love to take off your clothes
Undress you slow
Ooh, it only gets better
When I love you nice and close
To make you feel

Oh baby please stay
Stay with me forever
Make love everyday
We'll be makin' love
Let's do it together

Chorus

Oh baby please stay
Stay with me forever
Make love everyday
We'll be makin' love
Let's do it together

Chorus



I CANīT BELIEVE ITīS OVER

We should talk
That's what you said to me
On the beach
You know the place will be
So here we sit
Together in the sand
I hear you saying
You hope I'll understand
The love you used to feel
You say it's not the same
When I reach for you
You just turn away, oh baby

Chorus:
I can't believe it's over
I can't believe you're breaking my heart
I can't believe it's over
Ooh, baby
I can't believe it's over
(I can't believe, I can't believe that you're gone)
It's over
(I can't believe it girl)


Like a wave
You're drifting out to sea
What can I do girl
To bring you back to me
There must be
Something I can say (something I can say)
To change your mind
To make you want to stay


Now you're tellin' me
You found somebody new
You wanna be with him
And that he's good to you
Oh my baby

Chorus

I watch you walk away
Disappearing in the dark
You're not coming back
And it's tearing me apart
I said it's tearing me apart

Chorus and adlib

I can't believe it's over, damn



IīLL STILL BE LOVING YOU

Oh, baby
Don't matter for how long life goes on
I'll Still be loving you, girl
I know it's real
This love I feel
Baby, sure as the skies are blue
I'll be around
Won't let you down
Baby, no one else will do

Believe in me
Girl, I'll be your friend
Together till the end, girl
(Together till the end, girl)
Just reach for me
Girl, I'll be the one
A lover you can trust
I'll never give you up

Chorus:
Till forever's come and gone
Till the mountains tumble down
I'll still be loving you, girl
Till the stars fall from the sky
Till the seas all run dry
I'll still be loving you

When clouds appear
Now don't you fear
Baby, we're gonna weather the storm
I'll stand by you (stand by you)
We'll see it through
You'll be safe and warm

Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Girl, all through the night (All through the night)
I'll be there by your side, girl
(Be there by your side, girl)
Every way, girl I'll understand

With everything I am


Chorus

Other lovers are giving up each day, yeah
But this love of ours is here to stay (yeah, girl)
I just wanna be with you_, girl
(I just wanna be with you)
That's all I wanna do

Chorus, adlib and fade

But you ain't gotta worry about a thing, åcause I'll be waitin' for you

Chorus:
I'll be waitin' for you
(Till the break of dawn)
Would you come back to me
(åcause you're better than the rest of them)
I'll be waitin' for you
(till the break of dawn)
Always, always

I woke up last night
You're the only one that's on mind
I can't imagine
You're not here with me
With me baby

I don't know what I would do
If my love wasn't meant for you
Girl you make me feel so good inside
Yes, you do

Chorus

Now my heart begins to break

Miss you baby

You're all I'm dreaming of
Girl you make me feel so good inside
Yes you do
