I Get Lonely Lyrics
by Janet Jackson

[CHORUS: (2x)]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you

Sittin here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin if I have to do
Withoutcha
But there's no reason why

I feel asleep late last night
Cryin like a newborn child
Holdin myself close
Pretendin my arms are yours
I want no one but you

[CHORUS (2x)]

I still remember to the day
In fact is was a 3rd Monday
You came along to be the one for me
Now I'm alone

Sittin here by the phone
Call and say that you're okay
So that I'll have the chance
To beg you to stay
I want no one but you

[CHORUS (4x)]

Gonna break it down
Break it down, break it down
Gotta break it down
Break it down, break it down
Whoa

You know
That I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
Oh-hooh
Noowhoahooo. . .

[CHORUS (4x)]

700 Mile Situation Lyrics
by Res

Now for all the times you must go
Notice all the things you leave
So what's behind that stare
Am I there with you

And as you turn to walk away
I can't help it
I can't help but feel those instincts
That want to dance with me

[Chorus:]
Silhouette is painted on the wall
How many times can I say that I miss you
And everybody wants to know what's wrong
It's just the 700 mile situation

Why don't you tell me what you're scared of
You make me breathe so easy
And I'm a mess with reminders of you
I often wonder where you are sometimes
I close my eyes and picture it for a while
I rise, awake to find myself without you

[Chorus]

No one can tell me I don't know
About the ins and outs of how it goes
Impulse traveler
Why can't you stay with me tonight
What's your soul taste like baby

And all them tell me I should take it slow
Don't want to find myself too deep in so
I keep stumbling
Pulling back while my dreams propelling
Don't hold back
My constitution's crumbling

[Chorus]

JILL SCOTT LYRICS

"I'm Not Afraid"

I'm not afraid to be your lady
I'm not afraid to be your whore
I'm not afraid to be your future
I'm not afraid to be your soil
In which you plant your seed
Flowers, they sprout for me
My fragrance in the breeze
You must nurture me please
I'm not afraid to be your baby
I'm not afraid to be your strength
I'm not afraid to be open wide
I'm not afraid to be glutinous
The essence of glue
I will stick to you
Through earthquakes and moods
If ever one thing was true
I'm not afraid to wind it, wind it
I'm not afraid to keep your pace
I'm not afraid to create my queendom
I'm not afraid to take my place
I'm not afraid

GOAPELE LYRICS

"Romantic"
[intro]
Oooooh, ooh, oh
Oooooh, ooh, oh

[verse 1]
Kiss my wounds
Love me tender
Buy me flowers i've never seen
Wake me up from my dreams
To bring me french toast and tea
In the morning light
Fly across country to spend
The night
You said you'd steer a boat across the atlantic

[chorus]
Cuz you're so fucking romantic
I can't stand
It
When i look in your eyes
Unconditionalness sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would (?) bring
You're so fucking romantic

[verse 2]
Other men wouldn't call
Just to say "i love you
Take your time
But i miss you
Is it okay
If i see you
I'll kiss you everywhere anywhere"
Damn sure, me
Please let this moment be
You're always tempting me

[chorus]

Cuz you're so fucking romantic

[chorus]

[verse 3]
We say the same words
At the same time
I start a sentence
You finish mine
Laugh at my jokes when i wanna cry
And when i feel lost
I look in your eyes
Even in front of your boys
You wouldn't lie
You say
"i gotta see my baby tonight"

[chorus 2x]

Cuz you're so fucking romantic
Kiss me 'til i'm frantic

INDIA.ARIE "The Truth"

[Spoken:]
Let me tell you why I love him

[Chorus:]
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause
his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie

[Verse 1:]
I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
Its almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me
Because its not hard for me to understand him because he's so much like me
And its truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
How can the same man that makes me so mad
-do you know what he did-[spoken]
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
-girl do you know what he did-[spoken]
If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no
Cause there's a blessing in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all

[Repeat Chorus]

I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional

-you know what I'm talking about-[spoken]
Thats the way I feel
-and I always will-[spoken]

There ain't no substitute for the truth
either it is or isnt
cause he is the truth
you see the truth it, needs no proof
either it is or it isnt
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
and if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
cause he is yes he is
I wonder does he know [echoes]

INDIA.ARIE LYRICS

"Can I Walk With You"

I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from all I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

[Chorus:]
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life (fades away)

You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you.
This feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too.
You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you.
If you want to be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to.

[Chorus]

Now everyday ain't gonna be like the summers day.
Being in love it really ain't like the movies screen.
But I can tell you all the drama aside you
And I can find what the worlds been looking for forever.
Friendship and love together.

[Chorus]

Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that the world stops spinning.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that my heart stops beating.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Can I walk with you
Till the day that the birds no longer take flight
Till the moon is underwater
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

This is the moment I've been waiting for
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

You are everything I've been looking for
Can I walk with you
Creative intellectual
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you as your wife

Earth
Written by Me'Shell and Cato

Let me be the rain
You thirst for
Let me be the sun
That you adore
And let my sweet, sweet ocean
Caress your shore
Let your heart
Search no more
You're my earth
Mmm
Paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet paradise
I say you're my earth

There's no place I'd rather be
Your beauty is surrounding me
For your tears black orchids bloom
Orchids bloom
My soul is fed by you
Fed by you
And water your birth, then death
It's back to dirt
Home, to you

You're my earth
In paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet, sweet paradise
I say you're my earth

Sweet, sweet
Mmm
