2. Slow flow
No more broken hearted, I'm done
Being discarded
It's my turn to be happy, 'cause I have been
So hurt by one too many
That promised more than any, and left my
Open arms empty
So now I am
chorus :
Looking for a slow flow
So the love is good to go
From now on I'm gonna take my time
I wanna lover with a slow flow
Rushed emotions never know
Everything gets better with time
Someone everlasting, is all that I'm asking
I want more thant just a week
'Cause I have seen all those so called
Good relationships
Start up and call it quits, I need more than
Just a freak
For me to
Truly give my heart and devotion
Baby if you've got that real kind of emotion. I'm

3. Only love
chorus :
I'm over you somehow
Only love knows how
I have the strength to move on again
The more you put me down
'Cause love knows how
It gave me the strength to move on
Spent so many days wondering what's my chances
I never thought I'd be alone
When all I really needed was anwers
For the love that you've given to me (the love you give to me)
I was in need
Where we are where we're at
Boy I could not see
Every night (every night)
That I cry (that I cry)
I needed you here by my side
But now I'm over you
chorus
Had to use my mind
Couldn't use my heart
I didn't wanna see us apart
This vision is so clear to me
That we were not meant to be

The desire inside wouldn't let me be
Every night (every night)
That I cry (that I cry)
I needed you here by my side
But now I'm over you

Life goes on until the new beginning
(ooh ahh ahh)
Set me free from all of these feelings
Now I can see that love's no guarantee
(ooh ahh ahh)
That's why I hold it all inside of me

7. Where's the good in goodbye
Baby I've been crying since 10:15
The lonely nights will be a little too much for me
And I'm trying baby to give the best of me
And God only knows why he goes away
And hurts my heart
And I never meant to be
Somebody who would love so selfishly baby
And I know why you had to go away
Don't wanna hear you say
chorus :
Tell me where's the good in goodbye love
Tell me where's the good in making me
Cry again, 'cause leaving's never easy
Especially when you're leaving me
Somebody please tell me
Where's the good in saying goodbye
And baby, I can't pretend
When you leave me baby
I'll move on then and I'll do anything
To make you see
That I wanna be down with you my baby
I want you here with me
And I never meant to be
Somebody who would love so selfishly baby
And I know that you will come back home
Come home to me
chorus (x 2)
I can't wait to say hello
When he gets on the plane and he
comes home
I know he's missing me wanting to be here
next to me
I know that he love me
And I know that he cares
And now I have erased my fears
And all my doubts have disappeared
chorus (x 2)

8. What does it take
We're so much alike
I could spend my life loving you
But you tell me it's wrong to feel so strong
When we've been friends for so long
And after all this time (after all this time)
You should be mine (you should be mine)
No question about it but you're afraid to cross that line
Well listen baby
bridge :
All I wanna do is take you home tonight
And massage the places that will make you feel right
Whatever it takes
chorus :
What does it take to make you feel the way I do
I don't want no one else, I just want to be with you
What does it take to make you feel the way I do
I don't want no one else I just want to be with you
I look in your eyes and fantasize how things could be
Touching me so nice and slow
Working me easy
So I'll sing you this song
Until you belong to me
You don't have to be afraid to come my way
Just try me
bridge
chorus
bridge
Every night will be special
Love unconditional

Whatever it takes
chorus
What does it take (what does it take) (x 4)
I could spend my life loving you
But you tell me it's wrong to feel so strong
When we've been friends for so long

9. Girl on the side
I had my suspicions baby
I didn't say nothing 'cause I be trippin' right
I put all my trust in you
The ears you used to kiss don't hear you anymore
How could you be getting around me
Getting around on me
Why'd you have to play me like that baby
That's all I want to know, you tell me
And why were you getting around on me
Sleeping around on me
I would never do you like that baby
And I'm the last to know
chorus :
Now everybody knows that you have a girl on the side
Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah
That you're not doing me right
Why'd you have to be the kind that won't love faithfully
I don't want no man with a girl on the side
You know how much I love you baby
You'll never find a girl that gives you more than me
You threw away the best of times
When you strayed away and left me lonely
'Cause I was not your one and only
Didn't I please you like you wanted
How could you be untrue and throw it all away
chorus (x 2)
There ain't gon' be no coming around my door
You can stay right where you are
Because you'll never get my love anymore
How could you be getting around me
Getting around on me
Why'd you have to play me like that baby
That's all I want to know, you tell me
And why were you getting around on me
Sleeping around on me
I would never do you like that baby
And I'm the last to know
I had my suspicions baby

I put all my trust in you
The ears you used to kiss don't hear you anymore

Alone, alone, alone, alone I won't be alone
I didn't say nothing 'cause I be trippin' right
I put all my trust in you
The ears you used to kiss don't hear you anymore
How could you be getting around me
Getting around on me
Why'd you have to play me like that baby
That's all I want to know, you tell me
And why were you getting around on me
Sleeping around on me
I would never do you like that baby

You know how much I love you baby
You'll never find a girl that gives you more than me
You threw away the best of times
When you strayed away and left me lonely
'Cause I was not your one and only
Didn't I please you like you wanted
How could you be untrue and throw it all away
chorus (x 2)
There ain't gon' be no coming around my door
You can stay right where you are
Because you'll never get my love anymore
How could you be getting around me
Getting around on me

12. Boss
Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life
And how love
Ought to be right
I had a one step plan
To prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Falling in love
Love had to show me one thing
chorus :
I was so right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
But love thaught me
Who is the boss
I defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didt'n control
Whatever moved
In my soul
I could touch
Touch delight
Just because you tell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing
chorus :
I was so right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
But love taught me
Who was the boss
Thought I had my degree
In life
And how love
Ought to be right
I had a one step plan
To prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Falling in love
Love had to show me one thing
chorus :
I was so right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
But love thaught me
Who is the boss
