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]
