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
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
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
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?
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
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
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]
