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]

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
