We don’t know what tomorrow may bring for us - cuz it changed so fast Take each moment and live it like it’s your last Live it right here, right now Cuz all I wanna do, all I wanna do is be close to you CHORUS: You give me shelter, you give me peace All of my trouble in my soul’s released And I’ll always be your girl You give me love in a dangerous world All of the cryin’, all of the pain All seem to vanish when you call my name And I’ll always be your girl You give me love in a dangerous world I don’t care what tomorrow may bring for us - just as long as you’re here Every moment I need to feel you near Want you right here, right now Cuz all I wanna do, all I wanna do is be close to you CHORUS: (1/2) You give me shelter, you give me peace All of my trouble in my soul’s released And I’ll always be your girl You give me love in a dangerous world Cuz all I wanna do, all I wanna do is be close to you CHORUS: You give me shelter, you give me peace All of my trouble in my soul’s released And I’ll always be your girl You give me love in a dangerous world All of the cryin’, all of the pain All seem to vanish when you call my name And I’ll always be your girl You give me love in a dangerous world

Who is this woman standing before me - I know that face I see in the glass She looks familiar but so very strange I knew her long ago – a lonely soul with an aching heart But now she’s back again – ever since we’ve been apart It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you My eyes keep searching for somebody else My lips are moving but I cannot hear My arms are reaching but no one is there There’s only emptiness – a tenderness I cannot hold Here comes the storm and then an evil wind – an icy cold It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you So sure of who I am – I’d stand and fall and rise again But I’m not who I used to be – it doesn’t take a fool to see It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you Right here and now all on my own – am I strong enough to carry on This hurricane I can’t control, it’s a cold hard wind blowing through my soul And I think I’m entitled to an explanation to try to heal this separation I put my pride up on the shelf cuz I’m just not me with anyone else It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you I yearn to fill this empty space – to feel your touch, to see your face To hear your beating heart again – your tender kiss, it’s you I miss What did I not do, what did I say – to make you turn and run away Turn back the clock to how it was – just because, just because It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you

Tonight I’m climbing the wall Staring at the ceiling waiting on your call There ain’t a thing I can do To keep myself from crying ‘cuz I’m missing you Wondering where you are – and why it's got to be so far Away from me – I’m in misery And there ain’t no relief in sight So I’ll just pray for morning light Cuz I miss you bad tonight Loneliness knows no shame I’m sick of wiping lipstick off your picture frame Love’s supposed to be blind But if I don’t see you soon I’m gonna lose my mind Ever since you left, I just ain’t been myself I need you here to make this madness disappear I’ve been holding on with all my might But right now I’m losing that fight Cuz I miss you bad tonight Days go on and I stay strong But when you’re gone the nights are so long And honey I don’t know – if I can take much more Sleepin’ all alone – Lord, it chills me to the bone Darling it just ain’t right I need you holding me tight Cuz I miss you bad tonight

I’ve been taking the long way home Hoping it will clear my mind Baby ever since you came along I’ve been praying for a sign from above ‘Cause you feel like heaven But you’re not the one I promised to love CHORUS: I’m not supposed to love you, baby, but I love you Now tell me what am I gonna do I got a burning deep inside and nothing can cool me but you I’m not supposed to need you, baby, but I need you So bad that I can’t sleep at night It’s supposed to be wrong But how am I supposed to fight Something that feels so right Baby you feel so right There’s somebody at home a-waitin’ Lovin’ me the best he can But he’s never moved me the way you move me With nothing but the touch of your hand I’ve tried to resist this feeling But this longing for you won’t be denied CHORUS You found your way into a place inside where no one’s ever been Once a blind man sees the light How can he ever live in darkness again? CHORUS

Sugar Man 04:55
I need your help now baby I got some lumps in my gravy I was thinking you and me could maybe stir it up awhile Why don’t you come on over Let me put my head on your shoulder I’m starting to smolder and I need you to stoke my fire CHORUS: I’m cold, honey - warm me up I know you can fill my lovin’ cup Now don’t tell me you got somethin’ better planned Come on and be my sugar man I need some of your sweetness Come take advantage of my weakness For the taste of your sweet kiss, I’d get down on my knees I got plenty of tools in my kitchen But only you can scratch where I’m itchin’ I’m busting out of my stitchin’ honey, won’t you help me please CHORUS I’ll get the skillet hot - you stir what’s in the pot Nice and easy ‘til its good and greasy then we Add the sugar ‘til it tastes just right Don’t stop stirring, baby – this could take all night CHORUS
6.
I love you, you love me too Shouldn’t we be in love We’re the best of friends, together you and I make sense Shouldn’t we be in love Shouldn’t my world revolve around you Shouldn’t your kisses make me weak Shouldn’t my dreams feel like they’ve come true Shouldn’t we be all I need I love you, you love me too Shouldn’t we be in love Shouldn’t we be in love I know into every love affair some rain must fall What do you do if you fall out of love for no reason at all Can you use sheer will to make it good Because that’s how you know it should be Baby we should be in love With this ring we vowed to be each others’ everything Shouldn’t we be in love You and I’ve spent all this time just trying to survive Shouldn’t we be in love Shouldn’t I want to come home to you Shouldn’t you miss me when I’m gone Shouldn’t you be the one I run to When my heart can’t find its song Shouldn’t we never give up on love Shouldn’t we try with all our might But if you and I are wrong, love Shouldn’t we go find what’s right I love you, baby I know you love me too Shouldn’t we be in love Shouldn’t we be in love

Chains 04:21
Your arms are warm but they make me feel As if they’re made of cold, cold steel A simple kiss like a turning key A little click and the lock’s on me Can’t move my arms, can’t lift my hands I won’t admit to where I am – but I know baby I’m in chains, I’m in chains I pretend I can always leave Free to go whenever I please But then the sound of my desperate calls Echo off these dungeon walls I’ve crossed the line from mad to sane A thousand times and back again I love you baby I’m in chains, I’m in chains I’m in chains, I’m in chains Should have known passing through the gate That once inside I could not escape I never thought this could happen to me Never thought this is where I’d be But baby, baby – baby, look at me I said baby, baby, look at me I’m in chains, I’m in chains

I don’t know you girl, but I know that man you’re talking to I don’t know what he just said but you can bet your life that it ain’t true I’ve played his game before, and honey I’m not the first You may be a fine drink of water but nothin’s gonna quench his thirst CHORUS: Sister, take it from me All you’ll get is what you see Tonight he’ll look into your eyes But he’ll be gone before sunrise So get it while the getting’s good But make sure one thing’s understood There ain’t no gold at the end of that rainbow There’s just rain Looks so fine, talks so sweet, eyes that hypnotize But don’t let it fool you, girl, he’s the devil in disguise I thought I could tame him if I just loved him enough But trying to shine that diamond left me nothing but rough CHORUS That storm’s gone whipping much through stronger hearts than mine Leaving nothing but destruction in its path every time If you don’t believe me ask any one of them The question isn’t if he’ll break your heart, but when So go ahead and do that dance if you think you really wanna Just know that if he gets a chance to hurt you, girl he’s gonna My heart’s already broken it’s too late to save myself But I’ll be damned if I’ll sit by and watch him do it to someone else CH0RUS

Love Letters 03:07
Love letters straight from your heart Keep us so near while apart I'm not alone in the night When I can have all the love you write I memorize every line And I kiss the name that you sign And, darling, then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart
10.
Baby Love 04:12
There is no other to compare to you You got me blindly givin’ all that I have to you You’ve shown me feelings that I – I’d never find But those feelings ain’t complete when you’re not here all the time Oh baby love early in the mornin’ You come creepin’ in my mind, oh baby love Oh baby love I wake up with a yearnin’ Burnin’ for your touch – oh baby love You give me reasons to be a fool for you But I don’t care about foolish pride when it’s concernin’ you I’ll be your slave, yes I will, give me your command You can order me to stay around you all I can CHORUS All I do is think about you baby love All I do is think about you baby love I want your love, I need your love, I want your love come on There is no other to compare to you You got me blindly, blindly, blindly givin’ all I have to you Feelings, feelings I’d never find But those feelings ain’t complete when you’re not here all the time CHORUS
11.
I know… I’m no ordinary girl I’ve seen men fall at my feet – and offer me the world When I walk into a room I know every man can see I’m not the kind who surrenders easily Strong as I am, all you have to do is speak And my knees get weak CHORUS: When you call me lover, lover, lover I start to burn and I can barely stand There is no other – oh lover You’ve got me at your command With just a wave of your hand When you call me lover One word… and I lose all my control You take possession of my body and my soul I’m left defenseless as you cast your spell on me But I don’t want to be set free CHORUS And you take me in your arms I feel my passion rise From so deep down inside I come alive CHORUS

This is me going to R&B school with a bunch of dudes who have "been to the fair and seen the bear" so to speak. I can't begin to describe what I learned. Click on each track for more info. Or just get the music and listen...that's the real deal.
