En vogue - "Strange"

Rap:
It really isn't clear
What the story is my dear
So I'll have to analyze
All those lies and alibis
One look was all it took
Cause I know you like a book
You think you're cleaver
Those endeavors, that you're hiding
I'm deciding that we're through

Strange

Got a feeling you've been lying to me lately
When we kiss I get a bad vibration
You tried to hide the guilt in your eyes
Leaving clues without a trace

We used to talk and now you're always quiet
I ask you why, you say that you're just tired
You get a call and you're ready to walk out the door
And I think it's kinda strange

Bridge
My suspicions are killing me
But I don't wanna point the finger at you
You say I shouldn't place the blame
But it seems you're playing games
How much longer must I tolerate this madness

Chorus
Strange
So low I can't get under it
So high I can't get over it
So wide I can't get around it
And it's looking mighty strange

Yesterday I saw you across town
Buying roses, that's something you never do
When you got home, hello is all I got from you
Don't cha think that's kinda strange

I been feelin kinda funny since the last time
Cause you left in such a hurry, tryin' to buy time
If you're doing what I'm thinking that you're going
Then I think you need to change

Bridge

Chorus

Rap:
I can't say when
But it seems it all began
When I felt an icy tingle down my spine
You say it's in my mind
So I must resolve to find
Little pieces of the puzzle that fit
You think you're so slick
But I'm up on all your tricks
And I think you're soon to be
A small part of history
I know it's hard to see
So how you are cheating me
You can't hide
I can't stop it
Can't get by it
And to top it off, you're strange

En vogue - "Lies"

Chorus
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise

Chorus

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo I can't stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what debbie t. is really trying to say
When you break it all down we're all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies

En vogue - "Boogie woogie bugle boy"

He was a
Sexy, hip-hop boy
From oh chicago way...

He had a
Hip-hop style
No one could take away...

He was the top man of his class.
But when his number came up,
Then he was gone with the draft!

He's in the army now,
A rappin' revelry!
He's the boogie-woogie hip-hop boy from company b!

En vogue - "Hold on"

Intro
When I had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would of known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about

Chorus
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love evryday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Chorus

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Chorus

Ad lib:
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

En vogue - "Part of me"

Rain, such a simple thang
Every drop, a different stop
But they all come from the same
God is the cloud
And we are the rain
That's why I sometimes feel
That somehow we are the same

Whenever I lay my head to sleep
There's a strong thought that keeps haunting my mind
Careless whispers of a nation
That somehow was caught trapped in the dark
And nowhere to go
I know my thoughts are tellin' me

Chorus
Gotta be a part of me
I can feel it
Gotta be a part of me
In my heart, in my soul
Gotta be a part of me
The world must be callin' me
And my world comes from within

Life has no guarantees
That you'll keep what you have
Even though you're blessed with then
That's why I'm feeling
Some fear for the world
With all the grief and misery
How much real time is there

The sooner I take more responsibilities
I can truly say
I am grateful for my world
The irony of tryin' to do the right thing
Is whatever you do, some will undo
And sometimes destroy
And there's someone still left in darkness
And you say

Chorus

Bridge (spoken)
The world is what we make it
What we see today
Are the results of the mistakes they made yesterday
And what we see tomorrow
Will be the results of what we do today
It's a shame that peace and respect
Has been replaced with money and power
The children, they are the futures
So teach them how to love themselves
And they will love others
Don't you see, love - that's the key

Chorus

Out

En vogue - "You don't have to worry"

Chorus:
No fear, no shame, you don't have to worry
'bout a thang
No fear, no shame, you don't have to worry
'bout a thang

Makes no difference
Near or far, baby
It's you I love no matter where you are
My dedication will never die
I'm always faithful till you break my heart
You don't have to keep seaching for dishonesty
It's always safer to let your love flow
I can guarantee
There's no need for doubting me
There is no other that's worth the trouble

Chorus

There's no reasoning for your dismay
Our love's been good up to this very day
No time for wondering
It's takes away
From all the time we have to share together
You can best believe
No one can just come between
Me and you and what we built together
I guess in time we'll see where our dedication leads
And in the end I know I'll be there for you

Chorus

Bridge
I can guarantee there's no need for doubting me
No time for wondering
You can count me

Chorus x3

En vogue - "Time goes on"

Intro:
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Repeat x14

Chorus
On and on, time goes on, never stops,
Just goes on
Repeat

I'm seem forever, since time began
So full of mysteries we don't understand
Searching for answers and remedies
As problems plague us like an enemy

Bridge
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop, nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on

Chorus

So many blinded by life today
When will we realize love the only way
It's time to wake up
'cause times have changed
Time waits for no one
It's a crucial game

Bridge

Chorus

Take care of business, don't procrastinate
We must decide on what becomes our fate
Nation to nation, love is the key
Let's take the time we need more unity

En vogue - "Just can't stay away"

Won't you come close to me now
Won't you come close to me now

Here I am baby
Right back in your arms
What is it 'bout your love
That draws me to you
And though this is not the first time, baby
I ever wanted to get away, no
Oh but the magic of your love
Just would not let me stray

So I find that I just can't
Stay away from you baby, you yea
You see, I just can't stay away from you

Let me tell ya
I've been through a lot of changes
See, my mama scorn me
Oh yes she did
And my closest friends, oh lord
You know they warned me
They said you're no good for me
But I just ignored it
Yes I did
Cause I didn't have time
No time, no time, no time
To sit around and decide what to do
When someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do

So you see that's why
I can't stay away
I don't wanna, from you

It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me

I can't stay away
You've been so good to me
I just love that man
Just can't, don't want to, I can't no way

En vogue - "Don't go"

I'm so glad to see you
Now I have the chance to say
Our love's been growing freely
What must I do to make you stay

Don't go

I feel the time is right
'cause my love for you has grown
Up until this very night
I had doubts your love was strong enough
To break me down
Now I'm caught up in this web
You've spun for me tonight

Don't go

It takes a gifted man
To release the love in me
So far you're the only man
Who has gone this far for me
It feels it's out of my hands
Can't think twice, it's much too right
This may be my only chance

Don't go

I've been such a fool
To have kept my love for you
Could have lost your love searching for the truth
Don't go nowhere
You know I care
Stay right here with me forever baby

Don't go

Let's make sweet love tonight
I won't put up any fight
Your wish is my command
Lay me down upon my bed
And make me feel the heat
Of your body next to mine
I just have one demand

Don't go

You send chills down my spine
I surrendered all my love
You captured all my life
In just one night of ecstasy
You brought me to my knees
Your first bite was just to strong
You left a scar on me

Don't go

I've been such a fool to have kept my love from you
Could of lost your love searching for the truth

Don't go

I'm so glad to see you
Now I have the chance to say
Our love's been growing freely
What must I do to make you stay

Don't go

En vogue - "Luv lines"

I never thought I'd be the one to find a guy
Who gives his love to everyone
Give promises he never keeps
He broke my heart
And scattered all my hopes and dreams
Now I'm so confused
Don't know what I should do
Looking for some sound advice
Can't take another sleepless night
All reasoning gone
Still I've got to be strong
This is why I'm calling you
What would be the thing to do

Chorus
Call up luv lines
And solve luv crimes
Call up luv lines
And solve luv crimes

I always thought true love should be
Full of trust respects and honesty
How could a man just walk away
And never a second thought
About the heart he breaks
Watch out what you do
This may happen to you
He can charm you with his eyes
Best believe he's full of lies
He'll take control of your mind and your soul
This is why I'm warning you
So you'll know I'm warning you
So you'll know just what to do

Chorus x4

Bridge
I'm calling up to ask your point of view
So be straight with me
I feel that I can depend on you
I know I'm not the first to call your line
Many more of you are victims to this passion crime

Chorus x4

En vogue - "Waitin' on you"

It's ten o' clock and I'm still alone, waitin'
By the phone, it makes me think you won't
Be back again, and I'm feeling so intense.
(backs: got me waitin', got me waitin'.)

Chorus
I can't keep wastin' my time, waitin' on you
To come home, to come home now.
(repeat)

I fantasize of makin' love, it's such a lonely
Feeling without you, but I would not have
To dream, if you would just be there to
Share my love desire.

Bridge
I should not be alone, just waitin' for a
Man who says he loves me so. I have more
Patience than I can believe. it's a shame, i
Can't believe I'm still alone

Chorus

En vogue - "This is your life"

I lived part of my life
Being scared of my dreams
Everytime someone asks
What I'm shooting for in life
I would hide my true feelings

And when I spoke up to my friends
They made fun of my dreams
So when times got too rough
I would think back on one thing
My mama would say to me

Chorus:this is your life, live it your own way

Forces of evil struck back and forth
Throughout my younger days,
Because I would listen
And care what other people would say

Like a four letter word
I ignored the whole world
And built my own tiny world with respect

But it took time to relate
What my momma would say time after time again, she said:

Chorus
Chorus

En vogue - "My lovin'(You're never gonna get it)"

No, you're never gonna get it (Ow!)
Never ever gonna get it (No, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (My love)
Never ever gonna get it
(repeat)
I remember how it used to be
You never was this nice, you can't fool me
Now you talkin' like you made a change
The more you talk, the more things sound the same
What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh...
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh...
CHORUS
No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
(repeat)
Now you promise me the moon and stars
Save your breath, you won't get very far
Gave you many chances to make change
The only thing you changed was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, "No way"
CHORUS
Doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She don't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, "No way"
[And now it's time for a breakdown...]
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it (whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never get it
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (My lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')...

En vogue - "Hip hop lover"

Hip hop, do it 'til you drop
Don't stop - don't you ever stop

This is it and you know
I'm comin' free style
To the club to see En Vogue
I'll run a country mile
Dope hat combat boots I'm comin'
Cutie pies
Yo I know En Vogue will love me
'Cause I'm too fly
I'll do my jerkin' dance make 'em
Stare yo give a laugh
Ask to dance they look me over
And say oh no we'll pass
But that's ok I'll just dance
And do my own thang
But when the night is over
They'll remember Wayne Wayne

chorus

Me and my girlfriends broke down to the club
The minute we stepped in
We were being asked to the dance floor
Before I got his name
He was hittin' on me strong
But I knew from the conversation
He was a little bit too young

chorus
Brown leather combat sales tag on his hat
He wore his clothes inside-out (yo mental tip - oh)
He had a funky step and I thought he was so cute
But as far as hooking up with him
He had to come harder than that, yeah

chorus

When the set was over
We headed out to the car
He politely asked to walk me out
He's playng good so far
The minute I blinked my eyes
He snuck in a little kiss
So I swung out quick to smack him one
But I'm glad I missed

chorus

The beat may drop but not like all the others

chorus
chorus:

Hip hop do it 'til you drop
Don't stop don't you ever stop
(Do it to me baby)
Hip hop do it 'til you drop
Don't stop don't you ever stop

En vogue - "Free your mind"

I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes it doesn't make me a prostitute
I like rap music wear hip-hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm sellin dope
Oh my please forgive me for having
Straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in
My heirs
I might date another race or color
Doesn't mean I don't like my strong
Black brothers

Chorus:free your mind and the rest will follow,
be colorblind, don't be so shallow
(before you read me you gotta learn how to see me)

So I'm a sista
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my
Credit is bad,
So why dispute me and waste my time,
Because you think that the price is too
High for me
I can't look without being watched
You rang my buy before I made up my,
Mind
Oh now attitude why even bother
I can't change your mind you can't
Change my color

Repeat chorus two times

En vogue - "Desire"

It's the time of the day when I lay down to rest
To impressions of the day digest
But thoughts of my existence emerge
Who am I and why am I?
My consciousness can't be purged
Until a soothing breeze is putting me to sleep
I fall through endless depths

My dreams awake, they're taking over
Take me on a journey within

[Lead: Schalin]

I see myself and I see my world
I meet people from my past
But can't remember where they're from
They stare at me with hollow eyes
Still disappointment therein lies

I see nations birth and death
One thousand human lives
Begin and end
I see new religions are born
And they fall into oblivio
I witness the births of worlds
And the old ones wither away

New universes are created in storms of fire
The old ones are crushed inside black holes
I see my old life fading away
And a new one is about to begin

I see water sprig
From the well of truth
People congregate
With will to eternal wisdom obtain

Those with false hearts
That taste the water change form
To trembling vile creatures with their insides out
The others are reborn as gods

At the very back of the swarming crowds
I see my tense face, I'm eager with fear
I desire to know but I fear the same fate
The one of others that I just beheld

When monsters with false hearts have expired
And the new gods are sent to conquer the world
As the last one I stand alone by the well
With fear I put out my hands
To finally taste the truth about me

[Lead: Schalin]

With uncertainty I awake from my dream
What would have happened and who am I?

I seek but can not find the well of truth
And struggle therefore through my life
With fear and eagerness
To godhood or complete demise

En vogue - "Giving him something he can feel"

(shoo)
Verse 1
Many say
That I'm too young
To let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
It's just a matter of time
My love surely make you mine

(1)
Well, i'm
Livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
With my man
People out there can understand

(2)
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real

Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.

Repeat (1)

Repeat (2) to a fade

En vogue - "It ain't over till the fat lady sings"

(chorus)
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

Here's a flow
An en vogue hip-hop intro
Time to rap talk about the info
Pertaining to the four
Who re-opened the harmony door
(and let the vocals soar)

(shoo wop shoo wop)

All of the gossipin' it put us in a recite mode
Unloadin' while the grooves explodin'
Just steppin' and keepin' pepin'
A vocal lethal-weapon
In this song will be givin' ev-ology lessons
About our history and our passin'
How long (steady, strong)
Will the en vogue be lastin'?
Askin' or predictin'
The quad squad will roll
(and continue to kick it wicked)
Wicked doubts about the en-v
It's envy if you ask me
Trying to down dawn, maxine, terry or cindy
Black, beautiful, intelligent
Well structured and strong
It's gonna be along for ever hold on

Repeat chorus

(it ain't over)

So, continuing my flow
Goin' back about two years ago
Lip-synching was the way to go, though
A face to a voice, a voice to a face
All the real talent was just going to waste

The word was out
A talent-search was on
Auditioned with ambition
A vision
En vogue was born
To sing, the essential ingredients mended
Four individuals perfectly blended
Strong mind, positive, attitude is a must
Group trust
Eliminated the outside rush
Using lies as alibis to get to us it's strange
Negative attenion you gain in the world while you entertain
Stuck up - of course not
Just the knives in our back
Those coming from behind on a publicity attack
Not easy duplicating the four
There's a lot more in store
Until the fat lady roars

Repeat chorus

People wonder if we're rich
I'll tell you this
More money now than before the music hit
And our hair, of course it's real
We just jazz it up a bit for the sex appeal
And no we don't lip-synch
It's all from the heart
2 tuff-enuff productions put us on the charts
A few answers I thought I should give
For the minds who enquire how the en vogue lives
Born to sing, and we proved it
A gift from the man above
Peace to our fans, and to competitors
One love
Sorry, not in it for the competition status-quo
Our only perspective is to grow
And to blow, ya know
In house, in reggae, in rock, en vogue
Stylin' profilin' sippin' coke with a smile
2 tuff funk it, pump it, hip-hop jump it
Now en vogue's comin' versatile

(shoo wop shoo wop)

Repeat chorus

(it ain't over)
(got a long way to go)

Repeat chorus until fade-out

En vogue - "Give it up,turn it loose"

Wait a minute guys.
Wait wait wait. you guys, we should not attack her, it sounds like it's
Serious because we can't concentrate and get this right. so, let's deal with
The problem.
You see, I've been through this myself, and, let's talk.
And it goes a little something like this - hit it.
Mmm.....

Verse 1:
Baby girl (unfair but true)
Can love him once but not twice
Who plays games with no rules (a fool)
Tears for fears (are no surprise)
Happens almost every time
Love knocks you on your behind
(loved you hard, loved you long, now his love is gone)
Love 'em and leave 'em (is the rule of most dogs)
You must be strong
Stand up on your own
Take control of your life
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around

Chorus:
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, you got to have

Verse 2:
Fact of life (so sad but true)
Love can often hurt you
Leaving scars most of your life (nightmares can haunt you)
But fairytales of love, can come true
Both play tricks on your mind
(you'll be fine, take this time, to find piece of mind)
Sooner or later (bad feelings will die)
You must be strong
Don't blame it all on love
In time good things will come
I've seen time and time again
It's not worth it, no no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around

Chorus:
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl... yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, you got to have
(give it up)
Give it up
(give up)
Give it up
(give up)
Give it up
Give it up turn it loose
Turnin' it loose, baby

Your tender smile gives me happy thoughts of you
Got me so close to my dreams now they have to come true
Ooo baby, nothing to be shy about
Nothing we have to lie about
Hope lovin' you don't confuse you
Ooo baby baby, I don't want to lose ya

En vogue - "Love don't love you"

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care
Love don't love you, love don't care

Verse 1:
You said you'd always be there
You said you'd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I can't control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that something's wrong, yeah
The more that I fight with you
The more I realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care (it's got to be you, baby)
Love don't love you, love don't care (not love, baby)

Verse 2:
I thought I never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead I was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will I ever learn
Can't blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care (love don't love you)
Love don't love you, love don't care (got to be you)
Love don't love you (love don't care about you, no way, no way, no way)
Love don't care no way

Bridge:
<spoken>
You see it takes a fool to learn
That love don't love nobody (got to be you)
But I've learned
That love don't love me
And it sure can't love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Don't just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me

You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
I'm gonna be there for you
Love don't love no one
And it sure don't care
Love don't love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby

Chorus:
Love don't love you, love don't care
Love don't love you, love don't care
(repeat chorus)

En vogue - "What is love"

There's a question with so many answers
No one knows them all
No high powered scholar
High paided by the hour
Could come up with the answers
To this complex question
What is love
I wanna know, I just gotta know
How is that we can make mass destruction
With one single bomb
But can't find a solution
To one simple problem
That has troubled us all
What is love
I wanna know, I just gotta know
Why is it that
We can make smart computers
That think for themselves
But can't make a computer
To match lonely people
With one thing in common
To fall in love with each other
what is love
I wanna know, I just gotta know
Maybe one day they'll
Make up a word that sums up love
That won't be so complex
And fits with the rest
But for now we are stuck
With this word and no luck
What is love
I wanna know, I just gotta know

En vogue - "Thanks(Prayer)"

Father,
You've given us so many blessings
So much love and guidance
We only ask that through your gifts we receive
We can reach out and share them with others
Help us to be positive examples
reflecting your love and beauty
Yet not by our will, but by your will
Thank you
In Jesus' name
Amen

En vogue - "Runaway love (EP version)"

Are you ready to roll?
Funky divas, with a cool isle stroll
Sending smooth vibes to all our great fans
It feels good to be grooving again.
Chocolate cream to me baby (so sweet to me)
Like some honey to a honey bee
I am drawn to you baby like a (strong magnet-oh!)
Once I'm there, there's no turning back
There is no real excuse, for take this abuse
I keep (running back, taking slack-don't know what to say or to do)
It's amazing, but I'm not crazy
(I can't win/It's a sin, so I feel I have to fight out)

(chorus)
(Runaway love)
Like a train on open tracks now
It's too hard to turn it back now
Feels good without a doubt yeah
Has to stop before it turns me out.

Oh I'm not qualified (to put up with games with out)
I've been hurt hard lately (I'm not for being used) no more
Just a little lovin'
It's like a drug and I'm a drug addict
I just don't know why I just can't let go
I can't (walk away, fade away, everyday my love grows and grows)
It's cause of sickness
Or is it weakness
Should I cope?
Is there hope?
All I know is it's hard to go on

(chorus)

(High-h-h-h)Take me
Take me, take me(higher, higher)(High-h-h-h)Ohhh, take me(repeat)

(chrous)

Like a triple contraction
It's too hard to turn it back
Feels good without a doubt yeah
Has to stop before it turns me out
Ohh, just a runaway love
Feel's good without a doubt baby
Has to stop before it turns me out

En vogue - "Whatta man(EP version feat. Salt'n'pepa)"

Whatta man, Whatta Man, Whatta mighty good man!
(Repeat 4 times)
I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect to -
to the man's that's made a difference in my world.
And although most men are hoes, he goes on the down-low
cuz I never heard about him with another girl.
But I don't sweat it because it's just pathetic to let it,
get me involved in that he said she said crowd.
I know that ain't nobody perfect, I give props to those who deserve it,
and believe me ya'll he's worth it.
So here's to the future cuz we got through the past,
I finally found somebody who can make me laugh. (ha ha ha)
You so crazy...I think I wanna have yo baby.
Whatta Man, Whatta man, Whatta man, Whatta mighty good man!
(repeat 4 times)
My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass.
A body like Arnold with a Denzel face. He's smart like a doctor
with a real good rep, and when he comes home, he's relaxed with pep.
He always got a gift for me everytime I see him.
Alot of snot nose, ex-flames couldn't be him.
He never ran a corny line once to me yet, so I give him stuff
that he'll never forget. He keeps me on cloud 9 just like intended.
He's not a fake wannabe, tryin' to be a pimp. He dresses like a
dapper don, but even in jeans, he's a God sent original,
the man of my dreams.
Yes my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not. Not to
rush me good and touch me in the right spot.
See other guys that I've had, they've tried to play all the mac shit,
but everytime they tried, I've said That's not it!
But not this man, he's got the right potion, baby rub it down
and make it smooth like lotion. He's the original highway to
heaven. From seven to seven he's got me open like 7 eleven, and
yes it's me that he's always choosin. With him I'm never loosin,
and he knows that my name is not Susan. He always has heavy
conversation for the mind, which means a lot to to me cuz good men
are hard to find.
Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta might good man!
(repeat 4 times)
Whatta mighty mighty good man! Know what I'm saying? Whatta
might mighty good man ya'll! Ya'll don't hear me. Now check
him out.
My man gives real lovin, that's why I call him killa. He's not a
wham bam, thank-you-ma'am, he's a thrilla. He takes his time,
and does everything right. Knocks me out with one shot for
the rest of the night. He's a real smooth brotha, never in a
rush. And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch, spends
quality time with his kids when he can. Secure in his manhood
cuz he's a real man. A lover, and a fighter, and he'll knock
another out. Don't take him for a sucka, cuz it's not what he's
about. Everytime I need him, he always got my back. Never dis-
respectful, cuz his momma taught him that.
Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man!
(repeat 4 times)

En vogue - "Don't let go(love)"

What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
I often tell myself
That we could be more than just friends
I know you think that if we move to soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows
There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
I often fantasize
The stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours
Like only lovers do
If I could wear your clothes
I'd pretend I was you and loose control
There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to lose control
Don't let go
Running in and out my life has got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice
Somebody's got to choose
We can make it if we try for the sake of you and I
Together we can make it right
Repeat chorus until fade

En vogue - "Right direction"

Standing on this dusty road
Listening to my radio
If you could see, I'd know you swear
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
Well it may seem stong insane to you, baby
But I guess it's just what I gotta do
Just to get myself to where you are
Don't you know I traveled many times as far
Well I hope I'm headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... could've brought me here
In the right direction

Well it takes a strong man and a mighty wind
To send me off to the places I've been
It takes more than one of a tales to tell, baby
Searching for some weak will

And i'm, hope I'm headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... could've brought me here

Everybody knows that love will make you crazy
Make you play the fool that's sotoxicated
So don't you be surprised if one leaves the afternoon
I come knocking on your door baby
Cause you know I'm not a mule

Well I may not pass this way again
And if I do, I don't know when
But it seems to me, unless I'm wrong, baby
Our paths will cross before too long

Well I hope I'm headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... should've brought me here
(repeat 2x)

Only love can set me off in the right direction
(repeat until fade)
