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
