"The Promise" (2008)

Love Is Not Made In Words lyrics - Deborah Cox

Call me on the phone
Say you don't have no idea when you'll be home
But you love me and once again
You're eating dinner while you're
Look at someone else's face

Something's missing when you told me
And I don't feel good at all
I don't wanna be ignored so I can be reassured
Tonight I'm gonna need so much more

There ain't nothing you can say to me
'Cause I heard it all before
If you really love me, you would be showing me
Love is not made in words

I do understand even though
I feel the jealousy creep in
But I'm hoping it's just a fate
'Cause I can't feel disappointed like this everyday

I keep thinking that we could spend sometime
And we can share it physical
I don't wanna be ignored, so I can be reassured
Tonight I'm gonna need so much more

There ain't nothing you can say to me
'Cause I heard it all before
If you really love me, you would be showing me
Love is not made in words

I'll do everything to be the girl of your dreams
You want heaven in your life?
Don't be surprised if one day I ain't around
Don't wonder why

There ain't nothing you can say to me
'Cause I heard it all before
If you really love me, you would be showing me
Love is not made in words

There ain't nothing you can say to me
'Cause I heard it all before
If you really love me, you would be showing me
Love is not made in words, no, no
Show me baby

'Cause I'll be there for you, baby
Do you feel the same?
Say, I'll be there for you
I wanna know if you'll be there for me?
Then let me show it's more than words

Say, I'll be there for you
I wanna know if you'll be there for me?
Then let me show, baby, baby, baby

You Know Where My Heart Is lyrics - Deborah Cox

La, la, la, la.

Wastin' time arguing. Like it's become my occupation.
Only paid for compensation.
Ya jugglin so many things. It's like you preempt a conversation,
like you already know.

Baby you're the only one I see. Regardless what the circumstance might be.
Even when it's rough sometimes. Sometimes..
And even though it ain't always pretty, you know you can always lean on me.
Forever by your side...I'm by your side.

You know where my heart is, baby.
I need to breathe again.
And when we're apart, it's so hard boy.
My heart needs to beat again.

As time passes seasons change.
Even through this crazy weather, my love for you remains.
Like flowers we need sun and rain to grow.
And when you're caught out in the rain, hope ya know ya not alone.

You know where my heart is, baby.
I need to breathe again.
And when we're apart, it's so hard boy.
My heart needs to beat again.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
You should know, you should know.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You already know.

Get, get down.
ooooo you'll never.
Never know, say you'll never know

Cause you'll never, never, never, never, never, never know,
oohh yeah
just how much you mean to me.

Cause you know where my heart is, baby a (baby)
I need to breathe again. (I need to, I need to, I need to..)
And when we're apart, it's so hard boy.
My heart needs to beat again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we're hurting ourselves. Yeah we're hurting ourselves,
when we play with each other's minds, babe, when we play with each others minds, yeah.
And we're hurting ourselves. Yeah we're hurting ourselves,
when we play with each other's minds, babe, when we play with each others minds, yeah.

Woooo-ooo Baby.

You should know.....

Did You Ever Love Me lyrics - Deborah Cox

Heartfelt conversations we had every single night, lying in bed together,
So why would there ever be a breakdown in communication,
And I'm just wondering was that the warm and fuzzy feeling

Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me

I wanna go back, way back to the beginning when we could rely on each other
Oh, I felt like a goddess floating on a cloud. why'd you have to bring me down
With all this pain and disappointment, confused and bitter, brokenhearted
With all the mysteries and my love memories

Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me

I painted this perfect picture of you and me in my head
I sacrificed my mind, body, and soul. you showed me you didn't care
Now did you ever stop and think about how you made my life a living hell
It's so hard believing that you would treat me like this
Now I'm questioning over and over

Did you ever love me? did you ever love me?
Tell me baby, baby, baby, baby
Was there, was there ever really love?
Was there ever love at all?
Did you ever love me?
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can finally resolve and get over you
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can move on, oh yes
Did you ever love me?

Saying Goodbye lyrics - Deborah Cox

[Verse 1]
Why do most dudes choose to
Leave the girl that's been down from day one
I tried to love you, really love you
Gave my all

[Bridge]
It's been a year since you told me goodbye
It hurts but I'm finally letting you go
Took that much time for me to recgonise
That breaking was building my heart

[Chorus]
Thank you for saying goodbye
Making me cry
Leaving me here all alone in the night
You saved my life, that beautiful night
You said goodbye

Thank you for saying goodbye
Found someone new
Yes I'm so grateful, I owe that to you
Told me to tell you he's thankful too
For saying goodbye

[Verse 2]
Would I have a man I love could just do me like this
But you really only set me up for a day such as this
You say rebound, I say touchdown
No more games

[Bridge]
It's been a year since you told me goodbye
It hurts but I'm finally letting you go
Took that much time for me to recgonise
That breaking was building my heart

[Chorus]
Thank you for saying goodbye
Making me cry
Leaving me here all alone in the night
You saved my life, that beautiful night
You said goodbye

Thank you for saying goodbye
Found someone new
Yes I'm so grateful, I owe that to you
Told me to tell you he's thankful too
For saying goodbye

[Verse 3]
Wouldn't have found the love of my life
If you hadn't told me goodbye
Now I realise that there is such a thing
As a goodbye

[Chorus]
Thank you for saying goodbye
Making me cry
Leaving me here all alone in the night
You saved my life, that beautiful night
You said goodbye

Thank you for saying goodbye
Found someone new
Yes I'm so grateful, I owe that to you
Told me to tell you he's thankful too
For saying goodbye

Thank you for saying goodbye
Found someone new
Yes I'm so grateful, I owe that to you
Told me to tell you he's thankful too
For saying goodbye

Beautiful U R lyrics - Deborah Cox

It’s your life
Thing may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It’s a fight, it’s true
It takes time
Don’t have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what’s inside

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R

In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep
Can’t you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe
There’s much more to life when you free
That’s the key
And in time
You will find all the answers
Don’t have to loose your pride
Hold on to what’s inside

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R

Don’t care what they say anymore
There’s no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She staring at him in the face
She’s taking it day by day
I’m finally on my way

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R

The Promise lyrics - Deborah Cox

Life is so unpredictable
People come, people go
Is there anything that's for sure?
You don't know, I don't know
In a world that you don't believe in fairy tales
They don't come true
Its good to know in your time of need that you've got
Something to hold on to.

I can't promise the moon,
I might just sing out of tune,
But I will always be true
This is my promise to you
This is my promise to you

I'll be the light that shines through your darkest days
The one true voice that you won't escape
When you’re lost I'll be that familiar face
This is my promise to you
This is my promise to you

What becomes of a broken heart?
Where does it go, where does it go
Does it heal or just fall apart
We don't know, I don't know
You can't be afraid to try
When you fall again get up again
All that you need to know is that
You’re not alone; I'll be your friend

I can't promise the moon,
I might just sing out of tune,
But I will always be true,
This is my promise to you
This is my promise to you

I'll be the light that shines through your darkest day
The one true voice that you won't escape
When you’re lost I'll be that familiar face
This is my promise to you
This is my promise to you

I'll be the sweet remembrance of days gone by
If someone comforts you when you cry
Till the end I'll be by your side
This is my promise to you
This is my promise to you
I don't know what else to do
This is my promise to you

All Over Me lyrics - Deborah Cox

I just wanna talk to you for a second
Come in, come here

No, don't go out, let's stay at home
'Cause when it storms, it's somethin' sexy 'bout the rain
Just wait a minute, this won't take me long
Light some candles, I'll go slip on somethin' comfortable
And play some music that I like, to compliment this special night
Oh, take me, I am yours

You be the predator, tonight I'll be your prey
In the position of submission, I can't get away
Take control, take your time, take me all night
Promise you won't stop, even if I say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Kiss me slowly, you know what to do
Oh, take me, I am yours

'Cause tonight I'm in the mood for being intimate
Show you how every part of me feels
I love the way you rubbin' all over my body
Gently touchin' me, givin' me chills

Gettin' all excited when, next to you skin to skin
Any part you want, I'm gon' give
So be stingy with your love, and put it all over me
It's quiet storm, I just want you to, hold me
Umm, you're so sweet

You know that I love, makin' love while the rain comes down
Baby, you gon' make my love come down
Love the way you're makin' love to me
Make it come down, down, make it come down

You know that I love, makin' love while the rain comes down
Baby, you gon' make my love come down
Love the way you're makin' love to me
Make it come down, down, make it come down

You know that I love, makin' love while the rain comes down
Baby, you gon' make my love come down
Love the way you're makin' love to me
Make it come down, down, make it come down

You know that I love, makin' love while the rain comes down
Baby, you gon' make my love come down
Love the way you're makin' love to me
Make it come down

Make it come down, make me feel good all over, baby
Make it come down, let the rain come down
Down, that's how I like it, baby

All Hearts Aren't Shaped The Same lyrics - Deborah Cox

Please don't change the way you are.
There's no one like you for me.
I could search my whole lifetime,
to find someone like you..

I can't expect anyone to know how I feel.
Even though, I'm so lucky to get to know your heart
for myself, right away.
You showed me that it's okay to love.
Cause you showed me all hearts aren't shaped the same...

Oh
By myself, but not alone.
I connect with you mind, body and soul.
You're like a sweet dream.
But you're real. Yes you are..
You're blessed with a heart of gold..

I can't expect anyone to know how I feel.
Even though, I'm so lucky to get to know your heart
for myself, right away.
You showed me that it's okay to love.
Cause you showed me all hearts aren't shaped the same...

They think they're protecting me...
by standing in our way...
Cause I've been hurt by another guy before.
He told me lies, but your love gives me butterflies.
I know your heart beats for me.
And one day I know they will see..

But I can't expect anyone to know how I feel...
Even though, I'm so lucky to get to know your heart
for myself, right away.
Showed me that it's okay to love.
Cause you showed me all hearts aren't shaped the same...

mmm hmmm
Cause you showed me that all hearts aren't shaped the same...
Not the same...

Down 4 U lyrics - Deborah Cox

[Verse 1]
No need to worry, no need to stay up at night.
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter whose wrong or right.
I'll give you love yeah.
And in return you give it to me, I'll be your everything.
Baby let's work it out.
Cause to me you are the world, no need to doubt.
Your my man, I'm your girl.
Just keep loving me the way that you do
and I'm telling you, boy I'm telling you. (boy I'm tellin you)

[Chorus]
I'll be down 4 u, down 4 u
Sometimes I don't let it show, but I had to let you know,
Baby I'll be true.

I'll be down 4 u, down 4 u
Just keep loving me the way you do.
Nobody compares to you..

[Verse 2]
Let's work together.
There's no need to compete.
Baby don't you notice, you bring the best out in me.
I'll give you love yeah.
Even when we disagree.
So let's not waste no more time and start all over tonight.
And take it higher. Higher than we can reach.
Turn our love on fire..It's how it's suppose to be...

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge]
There aint nothin that can tear us apart.
Let me take care of you, I'll protect your heart.
Now hold me close. Don't ever let me go.
Make tonight last forever...

[Chorus 2x]

Always down 4 u.
No matter what you do.
Baby I'll be true.
I'll be down, down, down, down, down
I'll be down, down, down...

Oh I'll be down.

Where Do We Go 2 lyrics - Deborah Cox

Oh what a plan, what a beautiful plan.
But, how it starts, is not how it ends.
Said we could chill without falling in love.
You said it would work.

But you were wrong. You were dead wrong.
I try to exscape, i try to move on.
Now I can't explain, but I wanna stay.
I gotta know, I gotta know...

Where do we go from here?
Please don't let the wrong man hear.
'Cause I could not imagine what would happen if we end this here.
What if we never said??
And what if we never had??
Would we regret not havin, what could happen, if we end this here?

Every kiss is like the first one.
And the less that I give, the more I want some.
I believed my own lie, I said this was enough.
But my heart disagrees.

I was dead wrong, yes said I was dead wrong.
I wanted to blame you, but it's not your fault,
why I can't explain, why I wanna stay.
I gotta know. I gotta know...

Where do we go from here?
Please don't let the wrong man hear.
'Cause I could not imagine what would happen if we end this here.
What if we never said??
And what if we never had??
Would we regret not havin, what could happen, if we end this here?

We breathe in the night, but there's air in the day.
We breathe on the weekend, but there's five other days.
What kind of hurt is this, that won't even let me want to exscape??

Where do we go from here?
Please don't let the wrong man hear.
'Cause I could not imagine what would happen if we end this here.
What if we never said??
And what if we never had??
Would we regret not havin, what could happen, if we end this here?

Where do we go?

Go??

"Destination Moon" (2007)

Destination Moon lyrics - Deborah Cox

Poor man take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world good-bye and away we'll fly
Our destination moon

We'll travel fast as a light to win, out of sight
The turf will be like a toy balloon
What a feel you'll get riding on my jet
A destination moon

Oh we'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you

So when we steal in my space mobile
Supersonic honeymoon
Leave your past below, pull the switch let's go
Our destination moon

Oh we'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you

So when we steal in my space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your past below pull the switch let's go
Our destination, we'll fly high up in the sky
Destination, destination moon, woo

What A Difference A Day Made lyrics - Deborah Cox

What a difference a day makes,
Twenty-four little hours,
Brought the sun and the flowers,
Where their used to be rain.

My yesterday was blue dear,
Today I'm a part of you dear,
My lonely nights are through dear,
Since you said "you are mine".

Oh, what a difference a day makes,
Theirs a rainbow before me,
Sky's above can't be stormy,
Since that moment of bliss,
That thrilling kiss.

It's heaven when you,
Find romance on the menu,
What a difference a day,
And the difference is you.

[sax solo]

Oh, what a difference a day makes,
Theirs a rainbow before me,
Sky's above can't be stormy,
Since that moment of bliss,
That thrilling kiss.

It's heaven when you,
Find romance on the menu,
What a difference a day made,
And the difference is you.

The difference is you, oh.

Misery lyrics - Deborah Cox

Mainly you have fire on my mind
More than you ought to be
Mainly I find, you're on my mind
More than you ought to be

Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery

Well, well, I tried to act gay seemed to have fun
But I'm finding a bottle that can't be one
'Cause you're on my mind more than you ought to be

Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery

Now beyond happiness you bring, really isn't fair
But I payin' a heaven, heaven above someday you'll have to care
And keep me on your mind more than I ought to be

But I hope my thoughts bring you joy
And not a whole lot of misery, oh
Not a whole lot of misery, oh

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

Just A Dance lyrics - Deborah Cox

Well it's a party
The lights are low and I'm seein everybody
Just havin some fun
And there's a cutie who's wavin' Hi
Givin me the eye
I guess I'm gonna give him a try, but it's

[Chorus:]
Just a dance nothing more
Leave what happens on the floor
On the floor
You can look but you can't touch because
It's just a dance nothing more
What you need my number for
Ain't no need for you to even think romance
Cause it's just a dance

You might be thinkin'
That because we're dancin close
And we're vibin' that you're gonna get lucky
Take it easy, it's just a party
So let the DJ do his thing and let the music play
Cause it's just a dance

I wanna enjoy the party and have fun like everybody
but your messin' up my groove
What did you come here to do
I won't be goin' home with you

[Chorus]

The Morning After lyrics - Deborah Cox

Hush, don't say a word
Cause I already know what you're thinking, yeah
Things just got more complicated
But we can't fake it
This is real, so let's just go with it

[Chorus:]
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here
After the morning after
I let you in
What's the next move to make
The morning after

Hush, don't say a word
I can't even explain what I'm feeling
Feeling, lying next to you
Ooh feels so good
Don't let the words ruin the moment
Please don't say nothing
I know you might feel guilty babe
Don't let the mind do the speaking
Just let the heart do the leading
Cause we gave each other what we both wanted
Look what we've started

[Chorus]

Baby I can't help but see it
You gave me what I needed
There's no way that I can deny
I love you so
The longer that I'm with you
The more I see that I need you
Let's take what we have and make it last
Forever more

[Chorus x 2]

Givin It Up lyrics - Deborah Cox

You know he's wrong, when he stays out all night long
And he don't return your calls, well I ain't got time for that
You better walk away, girl it's time to make that change
You know that all men ain't the same
Cause I be lovin' my man cuz he don't get down like that

[Chorus:]
If he's giving you more (than a little bit)
And if he's giving his all (can you handle it)
You keep holding it down
Yeah if he's givin' it up
Hold it down for the one you love

See I remember those days when they took more than they gave
And the tears rolled down my face, for someone to give me that good love
But then he came and turned my lonely nights to brighter days
And I never will be the same
Cause I be lovin' my man, ladies can you feel me
And if your man is givin' you more

[Chorus]

Is it his style- He's got the jeans and Timbs and the iced out pinky ring
Is it his ride- Got the Benz on chrome but it don't mean a thing to me
Does he spend time- takin' first class flights but I'd rather be at home
So he can touch me, slowly, cause when we're all alone, he gives me more

[Chorus]

Oh My Gosh! lyrics - Deborah Cox

[Chorus:]
Boy you really blow my mind (OH MY GOSH)
I'm just lookin' at you like (OH MY GOSH)
You really got the vibe I like (OH MY GOSH)
The way you comin' at me like (OH MY GOSH)
So what you tryin' to do tonight (OH MY GOSH)
I'll just roll with you tonight (OH MY GOSH)
Cuz the way you talkin' to me
'Bout the way you wanna move me
And the way you puttin' to me is like (OH MY GOSH)

The way that you came up into the spot
Caught my eyes right from the beginning
And before you even said two words to me
I knew that with you I'd be winnin'
I never been around somebody like you before
And no that aint no lie
Let me get my coat and we can hit the door
And you can take me for a ride

[Chorus]

Now I don't usually fall head over heals
For a cat that I just met
But cha talk like a baller that bigger than life
So I figured I'd take a chance (you make me wanna)
Ride with cha, slide with cha
Drive with cha on the freeway so take it easy
We can rock it all night long
As long as you wanna stay with me baby

[Chorus]

(It's all right; it's just midnight)
So don't you worry 'bout the time just get into it, into it
(Whatever ya like, is whatever I like)
So don't you stop it, don't you stop whatcha doin'

Starting With You lyrics - Deborah Cox

Look at you
Different day but same damn bags
You're on my porch
And I don't even have to ask
I see tears in your eyes
As you come inside and breakdown

So what's he done
And I hope this don't take long
Cause you know one call from him
And you'll be home before morn
Here's a friendly hug
Followed by tough love
Are you ready?

[Chorus:]
He's only gonna treat you
The way he knows he can
It's all up to you my sista to show him that he can't
Have you had enough
Cause it's been long enough
Time for a change
Starting with you

No, don't say a word
Listen to Deborah for once
Cause I went thru the same thing
So I'll tell you what needs to be done
Mavis said it best
Girl respect yourself
It starts with you

You want him to be a better man
And you want him to treat you better than you treat yourself,
Girl you can help by showing him how he can
You can start by building your self esteem
Start believing you can do anything
And you'll find your man will fall in line
And if he don't than leave him behind

[Chorus]

Mr Lonely (Hex Hector Mix) lyrics - Deborah Cox

Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans

[Chorus:]
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?

Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more

[Chorus]

The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe

[Chorus]

"One Wish" (1998)

September lyrics - Deborah Cox

I can't believe that a year has passed
It seems like yesterday in September

We started off as the best of friends
No intention of falling in love again
He held me there in my time of need
My heart was set free
What a sweet memory

[Chorus:]
The day I fell in love
It was so beautiful
His hands, his tender touch
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love

It was an unexpected night
The sun was somewhere, but out of sight
So familiar, yet unexplored and new
We surrendered to our love in bloom

[Chorus]

I couldn't believe it was love
The passion we felt between us
The warmth of your touch
'Twas a night to remember
On the day we fell in love in September

[Chorus]

I couldn't believe it was love
The passion we felt between us
The warmth of your touch
'Twas a night to remember
On the day we fell in love in September

[Chorus]

It's Over Now lyrics - Deborah Cox

Try to forget about it
Ordinary things:typical predictable
Baby I knew the end before it started
You got me feelin' like I owed you something
'Cause you were there at times when I had nothing
But you threw it all away
With the shady things you do

Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you

[Chorus:]
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now

[Repeat chorus]

I ignore my intuition
And pass it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold
You kept puttin' it in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me

Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you

[Chorus x 2]

When you were down I helped to pick you up
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
When all the while what you were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it:you'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around and watch me walk
I'm gone

[Chorus x 3]

Nobody's Supposed To Be Here lyrics - Deborah Cox

[Chorus:]
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart says no, no!
Nobody's supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind

I've spent all my life, on a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again, love has knocked me down
My heart got broken, oh it hurt so bad
I'm sad to say, love wins again

So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

[Chorus]

This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance, and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things

So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

[Repeat chorus to fade]

We Can't Be Friends lyrics - Deborah Cox (feat. R.L. from Next)

To just act like we never were
To come around and not show hurt
How dare we greet by shaking hands
Just months ago I was your man

Verbally we agreed
It was over and we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just can't get over you girl

[Chorus:]
We can't be friends
We can't be friends
We can't be friends
'Cause I'm still in love with you

I went by Mother's, saw your car there
To her you're still family, and it don't seem fair
For everyone to just go on
And I've tried and I can't do it
'Cause I'm still torn
I've tried to think of you
As just another love in my past
That didn't last
But it's not that simple baby

[Chorus]

You may see me staring
Or catch me in a daze
May see me hang my head
When you come my way
Don't get too close to me
And expect me to behave
I might just steal a kiss
If you come near my face
What I'm trying to say

[Chorus]

Couldn't We lyrics - Deborah Cox

There were words between us
Words that hurt inside
Still that's just no reason to say the word "good-bye"
We can't let go of something beautiful
We can't just let it die
Can't you and I just try to find one reason
To just give us one more try

[Chorus:]
Couldn't love heal the pain?
Couldn't time take the tears away?
Couldn't you, you and me
Try again
Couldn't we
Couldn't you, couldn't me, couldn't we
Couldn't we

Start the story over
Turn the page tonight
There's nothing wrong between us
That love could not make right
Can't we forgive and let our hearts forget
Let the love back inside
Can't you and I just get back to those feelings
And feel them just one more time?

[Chorus]

Couldn't we turn back the hands of time
To a time when love was right
To those nights when the touch was sweet
Can't we find our way back
Before we lose everything

Couldn't love heal the pain?
Couldn't time take the tears away?
Couldn't you, you and me
Try again

Couldn't we stay together?
Couldn't we make it better?
Couldn't we turn the page
And start the story over?
Couldn't we bring the love back?
Couldn't we have one more chance?
Couldn't we hold each other just a little closer?
[Repeat verse to fade]

One Wish lyrics - Deborah Cox

Here I was rollin' in the car
I drove down past the park
Spotted a couple
Who wasn't in trouble
And they were doin' no harm
She leans down and kisses him on his lips
To give her love back he rubs her hips
Oh, I could feel it
I felt their passion
Running through my warming veins

So bad I wished that that was me
Make love like they do on TV
I see, all I seem to see
Is you and me

[Repeat verse]

[Chorus:]
How I wished that could be
Baby you and me
To become reality
In the perfect love fantasy
If I had one wish it would be
Baby, you and me
To become reality
In the perfect love fantasy

Now I'm not sayin' something's wrong with this relationship
But I know one thing, boy
It could be better
We have bedroom secrets
Sealed with a kiss
But nothing else compares to this
I'm talkin' about that real love
That true love
Can you feel me?

Someday it will be you and me
Makin' love like they do on TV
I see, all I seem to see
Is you and me

[Repeat verse]

[Chorus]

With one exception
I'mma grant your wish
You see I'm diggin' your package
That's why I sealed it with a kiss

Homie's ain't understanding it
They think I'm saving you girl
Never take me for granted
'Cause I'm craving you girl

See my mental state is streetlight
I'm like a fantasy
Spontaneous of mind
I turn your wish into reality

I greet you in the land of lovemaking
A true man, true to you, you
ot even thinking about shaking a spot
We keep it steamy hot
Keep it full-blown baby
Get it, get it, don't stop
Just you and me baby
Touching up stuff
Young dear keep it going
And make it _ like a _

What, ain't it evident that the mood
Goin' to be hanging on us
Getting' love twisted with love
See, I smoked that drama
Go on and tell it
And I could show you
But yes I can tell it

[Chorus X 3]

My one wish would be
For you to make sweet love to me
Like the first time
Baby all the time

I Won't Give Up lyrics - Deborah Cox

Either way, you're gonna know
'Cause what I'm feeling, it's gonna show
Friends may say you're out of my league
But I won't be discouraged
'Cause they just can't see

[Chorus:]
I won't give up that easy
No matter how they tease me
You pick me up and I don't wanna come down
I won't give up that easy
'Cause this feels so good to me
I get this feeling every time you come 'round

Who'd have thought that it would be you
To steal my heart and make me feel the way I do
Now all this time, you've been just a friend
You see, they think I'm crazy to want you for my man

There's no way to explain
What I'm going through
All I know is I'm in love with you

[Chorus]

Don't wanna be without you
'Cause every time I think about you
I feel like I'm going crazy out of my head
I just wanna figure out
How I can go about
Making you feel the same

[Chorus x 2]

Just When I Think I'm Over You lyrics - Deborah Cox

I used to think about it back then
You walked in and said you're leaving me
Good-bye, good-bye
I don't know why I never woke up
Torch of your love you'd given me had died
So I erased you from my mind, but-

[Chorus: (Part 1)]
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to

I used to think about how you'd pay
The way you would hurt
The way that'd say good-bye, good-bye
And all the lies, they did you no good
You'd live with yourself
I hated you inside 'cause you were over me

[Chorus Part 1]

[Chorus: (Part 2)]
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel the pain again whenever
I see you
Just when I thought that we were done
Baby, time has taught me that you were the one

When you were there I didn't realize
All the things you meant to me
Till you were gone
And now you're just a memory

I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance
I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance

[Repeat Chorus Parts 1 & 2 to fade]

Love Is On The Way lyrics - Deborah Cox

I wanna rock with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna rock with you

[Chorus:]
Don't you worry love is on the way
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and place

I know you miss me
And I've been missing you
Before you know it
I'll be right there next to you

No matter the distance
You're still in my heart
Baby I'm with you
Even though we are apart
So don't worry

[Chorus x 2]

I'm never too busy
When it comes to loving you
Hold on I'll be there
'Cause I have plans for me and you

We can hide away in our secret place
The two of us alone again
A special place
Where our love began
So don't you worry

[Chorus x 2]

We can hide away in our secret place
Just you and me, hide away late at night baby
A special place where our love began
That's where our love began

[Repeat chorus to fade]

I Never Knew lyrics - Deborah Cox

It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured my whole being
And you left me in a spell

You warmed my heart with passion
Desiring all of you
You left me cold in the summer
I wish that I only knew but-

[Chorus:]
I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don't you see the tears, the hurt inside?
I never knew, please tell me why

All the nights you left me crying
Keeping company with my fears
That some day you'd leave me lonely
And that's exactly what you did
I swore that I was your baby
The darkest night for you I'd bear
Now that I need you here with me
I call your name and you're not there

You left me standing
So empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know
That my love didn't matter
And my world was shattered
'Cause you left me here
Drowning in tears, oh why?

[Chorus]

After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
Oh why did our love have to go away?
I don't know how, I don't know when
But I know, I'll never love this way again

[Chorus x 2]

I never knew, I never knew
I never knew it could be like this

[Repeat until fade]

One Day You Will lyrics - Deborah Cox

You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now

One day you will
Be walking down the street
And you'll see someone and she will look a lot like me
And you'll think about someone you left behind
And it will make you cry

One day you will
Be starting out your day
And you'll look inside you coffee cup and see my face
And you'll realize the sad mistake you made
And it will be too late

One day you'll wonder why you ever said good-bye
And you will wish you were still right here by my side
But I won't be around
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now
One day you will

Never find a love like what we had
Never find someone like me again
Through the tears one day you'll see
That the one you need is me
You'll want me back again
You'll want me back again

One day you will
Be driving in your car
And you're gonna hear a song that's gonna break your heart
And you'll wish you'd said those words you didn't say
It will be too late

One day you'll wonder why you ever said good-bye
And you will wish you were still right here, right by my side
But baby I won't be around
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now

One day you will
Be walking down the street
And you'll see someone and she will look a lot like me
And you'll think about someone you left behind
And it will make you cry

You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now

[Repeat 2 x]

But one day you will
One day you will

Nobody's Supposed To Be Here (Dance Mix) lyrics - Deborah Cox

I've spent all my life, on a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again, love has knocked me down
My heart got broken oh, it hurt so bad
I'm sad to say, love wins again

So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

[Chorus:]
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart says no, no!
Nobody's supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind

This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance, and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things

So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

No, nobody, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh!

No, no, no...

[Chorus x 2]

Things Just Ain't The Same (Dance Mix) lyrics - Deborah Cox

I saw you the other day
And I almost lost my mind
I remember the things we did
I can't believe it's a waste of time
And sometimes I wanna cry
And sometimes I wanna die
Please help me understand
Why can't my heart just lie?

[Chorus:]
Things just ain't the same
He could never be you
You should know the pain I feel
Understand what I'm going through

I'm still in love with you
And I know that you feel it too
But I feel that I can't go on
I just want you to come back home
I'm so ashamed of me
My heart is not complete
I know you walked away
My heart wants you to stay

[Chorus]

The water's in my eyes
Can't hide what I feel inside
I said the tears keep falling down
I can feel it when you're not around babe
I've lost control of me
Yet your love's a shame to see
I just cannot help myself
I don't want nobody else

Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I wanna die
Please help me understand
Why can't my heart just lie?

[Chorus x 3]

"Deborah Cox" (1995)

Sentimental lyrics - Deborah Cox

I used to mess around
But I never let it get into me
'Cause I didn't take you serious baby
Now to be without your love
Only makes me realize
What I could've had in you honey

Now that you're gone (oooooooh ooooh ooooh)
I want you more
I said it slapped me in my face
And then my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance
I don't know why

[Chorus:]
I'm going crazy alone in a daze
And my heart ain't the same
And I don't even think unless I think about you
That's the only time I get sentimental
That's the reason why baby
I can't let go of you
Yeah, that's the only time I get sentimental

I miss you day and night, seems like you're still here
I'd rather be together honey
Now that I'm lost for words
I can't believe I'm on my own
I should've been looking at love

Now that you're gone
I want you (oooh ooh oooh)
I said it slapped me on my face
And now my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance
I don't know why

[Chorus x 2]

Now that you're gone I want you more
I said it slapped me on my face
And then my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance
I don't know why

[Chorus x 2]

Who Do U Love lyrics - Deborah Cox

Last night I slept alone
I stayed at home
For the first time since you've been gone babe
No friends to understand
To lend a helping hand
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known

How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me?
Yes you promised me that you'd never leave boy
But you went away babe
And it's such a shame
How could you turn your back on me?

[Chorus:]
If you really don't want me
If you really don't need me
If you really don't love me
Tell me who do you love?
If you really don't want me
If you really don't need me
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love?

I gave, gave everything
A man could ever need
I was there whenever you would call me baby
But somehow your feelings changed
You don't act the same
I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all

How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me?
Yes you promised me that you'd never leave boy
Now the love is gone babe
Tell me what went wrong
How could you leave me hanging on? Oh baby

[Chorus x 2]

I once was blind but baby now I see
That I'm not the one
Who can fill your every need
I painted a picture so clear, it's reality
Now I know, yes I know
That you're not the one for me
Ooooh baby, oh yeah
Who do you love baby?
If you don't want me
If you don't need me

How could you walk away from me?
Baby you promised you'd never leave
Slept alone since you've been gone
The greatest pain I've ever known
Oh babe, oh babe oh yeah

[Chorus x 2]

I'm Your Natural Woman lyrics - Deborah Cox

You've gotta know
You are my heart and soul
I can't just let go
I gave you years
Cried a river of tears
So you wanna change
Baby who's to blame
My love burns like a flame
Yes I love you still
And I guess I always will

[Chorus:]
I'm your natural woman
I'll be there when there's no one
'Cause my loving is real
But you don't see it now
Since you put me down
But I'll be there for you when there's no one around

You've been my life
For you I've sacrificed
Stayed up every night
That you didn't call
How I worried all night long
Things feel so strange
Last night I called out your name
I thought I saw your face
Here next to me
Maybe someday soon it will be

[Chorus]

Baby can you tell me how could you leave me lonely
Baby when you know that I've given my only
Heart to you, whatever you do
Baby don't be a fool

I'll give you time
Baby to make up your own mind
Whatever you decide
I won't break the vows
Oh no, no not ever, no not now

[Repeat chorus to fade]

The Sound Of My Tears lyrics - Deborah Cox

Always the life of the party
Always the clown of the class
All of my friends see me happy baby
But happy is only a mask

Nobody knows when I'm alone inside my room
I sing another tune

[Chorus:]
I'm goin' down
When I hear the sound
The sound of my tears
When you're not around
It's all I can do
When I listen to
The sound of my tears baby when I'm missing you

Don't mind the sounds of the city baby
Don't mind the noise of the crowd
Just when I'm lonely with my thoughts of you
The silence is always too loud

Pay it no mind
You know the truth behind the smile
It's only just a lie

[Chorus x 2]

Pay it no mind
You know the truth behind the smile
It's only just a lie

[Repeat chorus to fade]

Call Me lyrics - Deborah Cox

Someone who loves you
Wants to give you all you've been searching for
I've been here waiting
You don't have to look around anymore

Don't you know to you I'd give my all
I'll dry those tears when they fall
If you just ask me to
My best I'll do

[Chorus:]
Won't you call me boy whenever you need me
Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind
When you need those loving arms to hold you
Won't you call me I'll be there just to show you that I care

I know, I know it's not easy babe
When you've gotta carry the hurt inside
But you can depend on me
'Cause I'll always be there right by your side
You should know, that when it comes to my love
I'd gladly give, give it all to you
Just ask me to
I'm here for you

[Chorus x 2]

Don't you know
If you show me your emotions
I'll do the best I can to try to understand
So let go, you'll be safe with me
Don't be afraid now baby
'Cause I'll be right there for you
'Cause you know that you can trust me with your heart

[Chorus x 3]

My Radio lyrics - Deborah Cox

Somebody, somebody's been telling me
That you've been doing me wrong now
What's going on between me and you now baby
Somebody, somebody keeps telling me to check up on my lover
Don't care to hear it but what bothers me is

They all really know about us
How you keep on doing me wrong
And then singing that same old song
And you don't really know about love
Said I've heard it all before
And I don't wanna hear no more, you're just like-

[Chorus:]
My radio you keep playing that same old song
It goes on and on
Every time you come my way
My radio you keep playing that same old song
And it won't be long before I'm on my way

Everybody, everybody keeps telling me
That you're no good for loving
And there's no way to believe in you
Because you keep on showing me
That what they say is true now
And what am I supposed to do when

They all really know about us
How you keep on doing me wrong
And then singing that same old song
And you don't really know about love
Said I've heard it all before
And I don't wanna hear no more, you're just like-

[Chorus x 3]

There's nothing you can say to me
When I don't know what to believe
I'd rather be without your love
Than listen to it anymore

Never Gonna Break My Heart Again lyrics - Deborah Cox

You never knew how much you hurt me baby
You never cared how much I cried
Baby I gave my heart to you
You just walked away
Now you've come back and now you wanna stay

[Chorus:]
But you're never gonna make me cry again, again
And your never gonna break my heart again
Like you did, then
No you're never gonna make me cry
No you're never gonna break my heart again

What made you think that I'd forgive you baby?
What made you think that I'd forget?
Thought you could walk back in my world
But I've closed the door
I can't let you in, baby anymore

[Chorus]

You've had your last one more chance
There's no more for you baby
So don't knock on my door
You're not welcome no more

[Chorus x 2]

It Could've Been You lyrics - Deborah Cox

Congratulations baby, it's been a while
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
I hate to say this baby but I think you should know
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go

I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost
For walking out on me

[Chorus:]
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines
You're tryin' to break down my defense
So you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' you baby
'Cause you caused me pain
This time you've gone too far
And now you lost it all in vain

You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
It didn't take that long for you to get over me
Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me
But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in

[Chorus x 2]

I hear she's got you all stressed out
It cost you a fortune just to take her out
You say that she's takin' you for a ride
I coulda told you so
If I had my choice I would be with you
But you could've done much better too
And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love

[Repeat chorus to fade]

My First Night With You lyrics - Deborah Cox

Yesterday was not just another day
Not like before
Yesterday I saw your smiling face
Love walked through my door
One precious moment changed my life
One tender kiss made everything right
One touch from you and this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever

[Chorus:]
Cried my first tears of joy last night
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you

Felt the sun shine so bright on me
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm, through the darkest night
I found my brightest star
One magic moment
Made one magic night
I fell in love with one look in your eyes babe
I never knew, I could feel so alive
Darling in your arms I could feel forever

[Chorus]

One precious moment changed my life
One tender kiss made everything right, baby
One touch from you and this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever

[Chorus x 2]

Just Be Good To Me lyrics - Deborah Cox

Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way I see it
'Cause I feel you're already mine
Whenever you're with me

People always talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

You may have many others
But I know when you're with me
You are all mine
Friends seem to always listen
To the bad things that you do
You'll never do that to me, oh no

People always talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

Life is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you I won't try to change
We talk about it and I'd
Rather have a piece of you
Than to have all of nothing

So just be good to me in the morning time
Just be good to me, in the afternoon or evening
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together

I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together

Who Do U Love (Morales Mix) lyrics - Deborah Cox

Last night I slept alone
I stayed at home
For the first time since you've been gone babe
No friends to understand
To lend a helping hand
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known

You walked so easily
It still remains a mystery
Remember what you promised me?
But you went away
And it's such a shame
How could you turn your back on me baby?

[Chorus:]
If you don't really want me
If you don't really love me
Then who do you love?
If you don't really need me
If you don't really love me
Then who do you love?

I gave you everything
A man could ever need
I was there whenever you would call me baby
But somehow your feelings changed
You don't act the same
I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all

You walked so easily
It still remains a mystery
Remember what you promised me?
And now the lovin's gone
Oh where did we go wrong?
How could you turn back on me?

[Chorus x 2]

I once was blind but baby now I see, yeah
That I'm not the one
Who can fill your every need
I painted a picture so clear, it's reality
Now I know, yes I know
That you're not the one for me, oh baby

I can't fill your every need
Now I know

When the time is right
And you close your eyes
And you dream at night
Who do you love?

[Repeat verse 4 x]

[Chorus]

When the time is right
And you close your eyes
Tell me what you're dreamin' babe
Who do you love?

Where Do We Go From Here lyrics - Deborah Cox

When you're in love
Some things you take for granted until someone
Pulls it apart and leaves you with half of your heart
How do I trade the best I have for less
Without giving up
Should I slowly accept that we'll be no more than just friends

How do I know
When to let go?
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try
So tell me

[Chorus:]
Where do we go from here?
Why's my heart filled with so much fear?
When all that you are is all I need and more

There's no winning this
The battle's just begun
I know it's over, but I still feel the same
You'll always remain number one
'Cause letting go
Warrants so much
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try
So tell me

[Chorus x 2]

Letting go, warrants so much
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try

[Repeat chorus to fade]

Absolutely Not lyrics - Deborah Cox

Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control

[Chorus:]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not

Told myself I won't complain
But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong, you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed

[Repeat Chorus]

Now I see, life means more to me
More than fancy clothes
More than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger everyday
Now I live my life for me

[Repeat Chorus 3x]

Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
Absolutely not, absolutely not
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my ladies say
Absolutely not, absolutely not

Definition Of Love lyrics - Deborah Cox

Write it down a thousand times
For a little word that makes me cry
How I feel about it I cant decide
No I dont know so i'll improvise
Is it living in our heart or in out mind
I dont know

So world ready or not here I go
Searching for the answer
And im not gonna stop till I find
Where it lives inside me
How does it come to be
What should it mean to me
Teach me the definition of true love

I was so afraid i'd never succed
But you made me feel I could do anything
Memorise the things you would say and do
Must be loving the strenght that I found in you
Is it living in our heart or in out mind
I dont know

So world ready or not here I go
Searching for the answer
And im not gonna stop till I find
Where it lives inside me
How does it come to be
What should it mean to me
Teach me the definition of true love

Loves not wrong it feels good
True love always believe
And it begins without major risk
Gonna sacrafise unconditionally

So world ready or not here I go
Searching for the answer
And im not gonna stop till I find
Where it lives inside me
How does it come to be
What should it mean to me
Teach me the definition of true love

So world ready or not here I go
Searching for the answer
And im not gonna stop till I find
Where it lives inside me
How does it come to be
What should it mean to me
Teach me the definition of true love

Higher lyrics - Deborah Cox (feat. Paige)

You got that fire
You're giving me desire
You making me want you
I want you, baby

You're the one home
And you're the one I see
You're making me go higher, higher
I want you, baby

I got my faith in you
I don't know how you do
I don't know what you think
Just take me higher, higher

I wonder why I'm into you
I don't know how you do
Think I'm in love with you
Just take me higher, higher

When the sun goes down
And there's no one around
I'm thinking of you
I want you, baby

I give myself away
And you're the one to blame
Damn, you got me higher, higher
I want you, baby

I got my faith in you
I don't know how you do
I don't know what you think
Just take me higher, higher

I wonder why I'm into you
I don't know how you do
Think I'm in love with you
Just take me higher, higher

I got my faith
I got my faith

I got my faith in you
I don't know what you think
Just take me higher, higher

Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher

Just take me higher, higher

House Is Not A Home lyrics - Deborah Cox Lyrics

I walk through these halls but nothing feels the same
Where we once made our lives, it’s now so empty
The same paint is on the walls
The same songs, I use to sing alone
We’d run through the night but now it’s so cold (so cold)

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don’t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don’t live here)
Why don’t it feel like it felt before?
I know you’re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

I look in the mirror and you’re still standing there
It’s just an illusion of what use to be
So I lay in the bed we shared
Where we made love a million times I swear
Can’t face the truth that you moved on, you’re gone

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don’t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don’t live here no more)
Why don’t it feel like it felt before?
I know you’re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

In these rooms we were together
But now were so far apart
We should of tried to make it better
But then you went and left and torn up my heart
When you left
No no no
(Love don’t live here)
(Since you been gone)
(It’s so lonely)
(When you coming home?)
(Love don’t live here)
Love don’t live here anymore
(Since you been gone)
Since you went away baby why didn’t you stay?
I’m alone now, it’s so lonely baby
Since you went away
It’s not the same
Is it over? Is it over?
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

If It Wasn't For Love lyrics - Deborah Cox Lyrics

[?]
In your arms I lay
Feel so safe right now
No one else around
My heart beat by joy and tears fall from my eyes
And I know I am loved
The only one who feel so great
When they fall in love
I was searching so blindly
You helped me see
If it wasn't for love
I would have never made it out
If it wasn't for love
I wouldn't have given up by now
And love set my heart free
And love rescue my dreams
And love is [?]
If it wasn't for love

Your love
Your love

Your love
Your love

I have been searching for love
If it wasn't' for your love
I have been looking for love
I have been searching for love
If it wasn't' for your love
I have been looking for love

Love love love
I was there and it was washed my dream
Broke down on lonely road
You were giving me so much inner peace
And I am the only one who feels so afraid
When they fall in love
I was searching so blindly
You helped me see
If it wasn't for love
I would have never made it out
If it wasn't for love
I wouldn't have given up by now
Love set my heart free
Love rescue my dreams
Love is [?]
If it wasn't for love

More Than I Knew lyrics - Deborah Cox Lyrics

I gave you my heart on a platter
It was stupid
I gave you my life like it mattered
But you took it
I know that people tell me that it's gonna take time
But time feels like forever when you ain't by my side

I was young and foolish for breaking the spell
And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself
I found every reason to spin this around
Oh why, why, why, why

I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew

The truth is so hard to remember when it's fading
And all I can think about is what worked, it's amazing
It's funny how back then we always focused on the fact
And now it seems like you're the best thing I ever had

I was young and foolish for breaking the spell
And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself
I found every reason to spin this around
Oh why, why, why, why

I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew

I know in my heart we're not meant to be
If things were that good you'd be here with me
Or maybe I ruined a perfect thing
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew

This Gift lyrics - Deborah Cox

[from "Meet The Browns" soundtrack]

[Verse 1]
You changed my life, it’s really happening.
It’s like I’m in a dream.
Your sacrifice, it made me change my mind.
Thought all men were just the same. (Just the same)
You made me trust again, made me feel safe and loved.
You didn’t pressure me, gave me a chance to open up my heart.

[Hook]
I won’t be the one to pull away.
Tell me you’re the man that’s gunna stay.
I know that this gift can last, say you’ll never leave me, and I’ll always be right here.

[Chorus]
This gift…opened up my heart to you.
This gift…a dream that was built just for two.
This gift…is everything I cherished; you want my hand in marriage.
Your love is the greatest gift of all.

This gift…is everything I couldn’t have.
This gift…I accept now take my hand.
This gift…showed me how to love thee; this is how it should be.
Your love is the greatest gift of all.

[Verse 2]
You are the only man to show me that love don’t hurt.
You understand my pain
That’s why I need you like a flower that needs the rain.

[Hook]
I won’t be the one to pull away.
Tell me you’re the man that’s gunna stay.
I know that this gift can last, say you’ll never leave me, and I’ll always be right here.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
This picture perfect happiness, the answer to our prayers.
I’m holding on with no regrets
Cause I’m so blessed that you gave me….

(This gift)
That you gave me this gift.
I just wanna thank you for giving me this gift.
(This gift)
Everything I didn’t have.
(This gift)
I accept now take my hand.
Tell me that you love me, this is how it should be.
This gift is the greatest gift of all.
