Baby, You've Got What It Takes lyrics - Deborah Cox

You got what it takes baby
Woo, come and sing with me

Well, it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin' to make a fire grow
Ooh baby, you've got what it takes, yeah

You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance sweet
Mmm, it takes a whole lot of lovin' to make my life complete
And it takes a whole lot of man, yes, it does to knock me off my feet
Oh, oh baby, see you've got what it takes, yes, you do

And I say, mmm, oh, ooh
You know you've got just what it takes

And it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody really special to make me say, I do
Oh and baby, you've got what it takes, yes, you do

Ah, mmm, ah, mmm
See you know you've got just what it takes

'Cause it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody special to make me say, I do
And you know baby, baby, see you've got what it takes, yes, you do

Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes, yes, you do
Oh baby, baby, you, you've got what it takes

Oh, don't matter if you're going gray baby
Don't matter how you wear your hair baby
Don't matter if you wear those fancy clothes
Oh, it don't matter where you wanna go, I'll be with you
Yes, I do, yes, I love you

And you, you, you, you've got what it takes
Oh, baby, oh you, you, you, you've got what, what it takes there
Baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes
Really something special about you, really something special about you
Oh, oh, oh yeah

This Bitter Earth lyrics - Deborah Cox

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares

And if my life is like the dust
Mmm, that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon you're old

But while a voice within me cries
I know heaven will answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not be so bitter after all

But while a voice within me cries
I know heaven will answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooh, it may not be so bitter after all, ooh

Squeeze Me lyrics - Deborah Cox

Oh daddy, squeeze me and squeeze me again
Don't stop till I tell you when
Now daddy, squeeze me and kiss me some more
Just like you did before

Oh boy, Cupid standing close by
Oh daddy, don't make your sweet mama cry
Just pick me up on your knee and I just get
So you know, oh when you squeeze me

Oh daddy, squeeze me and squeeze me again
Don't stop till I tell you when
Now daddy, squeeze me and kiss me some more
Just like you did before

Oh boy, Cupid is standing close by
Oh daddy, don't make your sweet mama cry
Just pick me up on your knee, 'cause I just get
So you know, oh when you squeeze me

You take that to the back

New Blowtop Blues lyrics - Deborah Cox

I've got bad news baby,
And you're the first to know
Yes I've got bad news baby,
And you're the first to know
Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow

Well I've been rocking on my feet
Ad I've been talking all out of my head
Well, well I've been rocking on my feet
And I've been talking all out of my head
And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said

Now I used to be a sharpie
All dressed in the latest style
But now I'm walking down Broadway
Wearing nothing but a smile
I see all kinds of little men
Although they're never there
I tried to push a subway train
And poured whiskey in my hair
I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues

Last night I was five feet tall, Today I'm eight feet ten
Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again
When somebody turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind
I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind
I'm a gal you can't excuse, 'cause I've got those blowtop blues

Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door
Yes, yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door
She was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more!

Blue Skies lyrics - Deborah Cox

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

I never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my mind, how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

I never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my mind, how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

I never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my mind, how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies, blue skies, blue skies
From now on
Nothing but blue skies,
From now on

I Don't Hurt Anymore lyrics - Deborah Cox

I don't hurt anymore, all my teardrops are dried
No more walkin' the floor with that burnin' inside
Just to think it could be, time has opened the door
And at last I am free, no, I don't hurt anymore

No use to deny, I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true

I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
Yes, it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore

No, no use to deny, I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true

I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
Yes, it's wonderful now
But I don't hurt anymore, yeah
And yes, it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes lyrics - Deborah Cox

They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied, something here inside
Cannot be denied

They said, some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire you must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
And yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

September In The Rain lyrics - Deborah Cox

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The sun without just like a dying ember
In September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to sing a sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain

Whoa, September in the rain
Oh, September in the rain, yeah

Look To The Rainbow lyrics - Deborah Cox

On the day I was born, said my father, said he
"I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye"
'Tis wine for your lips and a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the streams
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

So I bundled my heart and I roam the world free
To the east with a lark, to the west with the sea
And I searched all the earth and I scanned all the skies
And I found it at last in my own true love's eyes

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the streams
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

Follow the fellow, follow the fellow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

"The Morning After" (2002)

Up & Down (In & Out) lyrics - Deborah Cox

Ooh baby I didn't come here to fight
So why you wanna mess with me
Ooh I'm always willing to compromise with you
But you ain't controlling me

Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus:]
Up and down in and out
That's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us
Feeling good and so helpless
Up and down in and out
Love keeps moving us around
To the beat like a drum
I don't know if I can catch your rhythm

Ooh you know me better than I know myself
So why you keep teasing me
Ooh can't see me being with nobody else
Cause you love me so crazy yeah

Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus]

You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act the fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
Cause I ain't arguing with you, your right
You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act the fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
So I aint arguing with you your right

[Chorus]

2 Good 2 Be True lyrics - Deborah Cox

It's obvious, that you got it goin on
And I'm contemplating
I'm curious, it you mean what you say when you say it
And if you're serious about what you wanna do
Cause I have to be honest with you
I'm not into you
Casanovas, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so they can get over
And after they get what they want, they're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems

[Chorus:]
Too good to be true
What you say what you do
So I gotta be careful
Don't wanna fall too soon
And if I come across sometimes being rude
It's nothing against you
It just seems, too good to be true

I'd love for us to keep doing things together
But I don't wanna rush the feeling (don't wanna rush the feeling)
We can take our time (our time)
I really don't mind
Besides I gotta know, what you waitin for
Cause I don't need no
Casanova, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so you can get over
And after you get what you want, you're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems

[Chorus]

Tell me if we stay together
In a month will u break it off?
I've seen it happen to so many others
And I'd rather not
Go through that heartache

Play Your Part lyrics - Deborah Cox

[Chorus:]
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else

You seem to have an important part
The lead role of my heart
You played it well along time ago
Until I started falling in love
And then you changed your character
And avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone now
Can you play his part at this time

[Chorus]

Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work
I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone who loves me
And who can play your part for life

I deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love
And receive nothing back in return

[Chorus]

Like I Did lyrics - Deborah Cox

Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you (like I did)
Spend their time doin for you (like I did)
And be there when you say I need you (like I did)
Now this I can't believe

Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you (like I did)
Take all this foolishness from you (like I did)
See if she doesn't she will leave you (like I did)
Then don't come runnin' to me

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus:]
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby
Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
I choose to leave

Now when you realize you really had a good thing (like you did)
Then you'll realize you dogged me (like you did)
Wished you never though of cheating (like you did)
Maybe then you'll see

It wasn't cool breaking promises to me (like you did)
Had no reason to deny me (like you did)
Had no shame, you still lied to me (like you did)
Now it's easy to leave

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus]

No matter what you do
Don't care what you say
Gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with the choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you

[Chorus]

(Never Knew Love Could) Hurt So Much lyrics - Deborah Cox

Heard a million stories about love
Some were good some were bad
I found that if you hold on too tight
You might lose everything you have
Didn't think my heart could easily break
When you fall in love that's a chance you take
Now I know from these lessons that I learned from loving you

[Chorus:]
I know that everybody makes mistakes
I hope you still believe it's not too late
Cause I don't care about what people think or say
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
But I never knew that love could hurt so much

I found it in my heart to forgive
But it's hard to forget
Cause everyday the vision creeps in
Of you and somebody else
All my girls told me to let you go
But I they're wrong
I still love you so
I'll hold on
'Til I gain back the trust I had in you

[Chorus]

It's killing me but I'll get over it
But I made my commitment to you
Even though it's gonna leave a scar
It could never change what's in my heart
I'll do whatever to stay together
