Lyrics: Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart

Un-Break My Heart
Toni Braxton

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Chorus:
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Repeat Chorus

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Repeat Chorus

Un-break my heart, oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart, sweet darling
Without you I just can't go on...
Can't go on

Happy Birthday Toni Braxton!
Love the Spanish guitar during the break.

Happy Birthday Joe!

Classic Fridays
No One Else Comes Close
Joe

When we turn out the lights
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl you know that I would never ever let another's touch
Come between the two of us
Cause no one else will ever take your place

Chorus:
No one else comes close to you
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special girl, to me
And you'll always be, eternally
Everytime I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl with just a touch, you can do so much

No one else comes close

And when I wake up to
The touch of your head on my shoulder
You're my dream come true
Oh, girl you know I'll always treasure
Every kiss, and every day
I love you girl in every way
And I always will cause in my eyes

Repeat Chorus 2x

No one else comes close
No one else comes close

Damn I love you

Forever Love
Color Me Badd

Now here we are, The two of us
And nothing's gonna come between us again
Forever love, I feel you're with me,
You're the sun that chases away the rain

I cherish all the love you bring
It's here forever and a day
I love you more than anything
I can't throw that away.

Baby unless you're there
I could never let you down

You understand the man that hides deep inside
So come to me (So come to me)
I need you dearly (I need you dearly)
I'll never give you reason to say good-bye (never say good-bye)

There were times I made you cry
And times I wasn't there for you
But for our love I'd even die (for our Love)
For you I'm gonna stay

You know girl being with you is like the meaning of my life
You give me so much happiness
Just to see you smile gives me the strength to go on

Lyrics: Ne-Yo - Mad

Classic Fridays
Mad
Ne-Yo

She's staring at me
I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking
Nobody's talking 'cause talking just turns into screaming
And now it's I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me
All that that means is neither of us is listening
And what's even worse?
That we don't even remember why we're fighting
So both of us are mad for

Nothing, fighting for
Nothing, crying for
Nothing, whoa
But we won’t let it go for
Nothing, no not for
Nothing, this should be
Nothing to a love like what we got

Oh baby, I know sometimes it's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now?
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
Can't sleep through the pain

Chorus:
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed mad at you
And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me
No, I don't wanna go to bed mad at you
And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me
Oh no no no

And it gets me upset
Girl when you're constantly accusing
Asking questions like you already know
We're fighting this war
Baby when both of us are losing
This ain't the way that love is supposed to go

Whoa, what happened to working it out?
We've fall into this place
Where you ain't backing down and I ain't backing down
So what the hell do we do now?
It's all for

Nothing, fighting for
Nothing, crying for
Nothing, whoa
But we won’t let it go for
Nothing, no not for
Nothing, this should be
Nothing to a love like what we got

Oh baby, I know sometimes it's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now?
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
Can't sleep through the pain

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, baby this love ain't gonna be perfect
Perfect, perfect, oh oh
And just how good it's gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight
Long as everything's all right between us
Before we go to sleep
Baby, we're gonna be happy, oh

Baby, I know sometimes it's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now?
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
Can't sleep through the pain

Repeat Chorus

I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
Swag on 'em even when you dress casual
I mean, it's almost unbearable
Honey you not there when I'm
At the bar side let you have me by
Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you
So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
For you to salute the truly pimpin'
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'

Lyrics: Atlantic Starr - I'll Remember You

Classic Fridays
I'll Remember You
Atlantic Starr

Words have left us all alone
And something's come between us
To turn the fire cold

Thoughts that chase you in the night
Silently the storm
The life from in your eyes

And I remain alone, no matter
Who may try and take your place

Chorus:
And I'll remember you
The dreams we could of dreamed
The tears I should have seen
We used to say forever
But I'll remember you
Your pure and simple heart
Your shadows painted dark
I will always love you
I'll remember you

Summer rain to fallen snow
We knew that it would last
But there's no way to know
(There's no way to know)

It's such a storm that's in the sky
Quietly will pass, quietly we'll cry

And here I stand, alone with every promise
Melted through my hands

Repeat Chorus

Oh, and I remain alone
No matter who may try and take your place

Repeat Chorus 2x

I'll remember you
I'll remember you

Lyrics: Mariah Carey, Joe & 98 Degrees - Thank God I Found You

Thank God I Found You
Mariah Carey, Joe & 98 Degrees

I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth

I was all by myself
For the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache
Would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

Chorus:
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

I will give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To insure your happiness
I cherish every part of you

'Cause without you beside me I can't survive
Don't want to try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be alright
Because I need you in my life

Repeat Chorus

See I was so desolate before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows that we were
Destined to shine
After the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

Repeat Chorus

Girl, understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn

It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's coming from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think ya gonna change ya
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn

Chorus:
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
You know that it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

Sending pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feeling ain't the same find myself
Calling her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't coming back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Oh oh oh oh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-eleven days, um-teen hours
I'mma be burning till you return (let it burn)

Repeat Chorus

Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
You know that it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

I'm twisted cause one side of me is telling me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (oh)
I'm twisted cause one side of me is telling me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (can you feel me burning?)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

So many days, so many hours
I'm still burning till you return

Chorus:
Tell me it's real
The feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come
Just to pass us by
Try, is all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love
Last forever more

Baby you told me that you love me and you'd never leave my side
Through the bitter end through the thick and thin
You promised me baby that you wasn't going anywhere, yes you did
Baby keep it real let me know just how you feel

Repeat Chorus

I can't explain the way you make me feel
Everytime you tell me that you love me
And you know you did so many times
Just when i thought that love could never be a part of me
That's when you came along
And showed me happiness
Baby you are the best
I think you're different from the rest
I really love you

Tell me it's real
This feeling that I fell
Tell me it's real

I love you and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
Need you

Chorus:
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I’m with my Boo
Boy, you know I’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I’m with my Boo
You know I’m crazy over you

Uh-uh-uh-uh
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me
And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need to see
But oh, no, no, she got a man and a son, oh-oh, but that's okay
'Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my position
Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin'
And in no time I better make this friend mine and that's for sure
'Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy home
But there's something 'bout baby girl,
I just can't leave her 'lone
So tell me, ma, what's it gonna be
She said, "You don’t know what you mean to me, come on"

Repeat Chorus

Uh-uh-uh-uh
I see a lot in your look and I never say a word
I know how n****s start actin' trippin',
and hate up all the girls
And there's no way Nelly go for it
Ain’t f***in’ with no dame, as you could see
But I-I like your steeze, your style,
your whole demeanor
The way you come through and holler,
and swoop me in his two-seater
Now that's gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya,
don't you forget it
But it ain't that easy for you to back up and leave him
But you and me we got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turned to leave
She said, "You don't know what you mean to me", come on

Repeat Chorus

Sing it for me, K

I love you and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
And it’s more than you’ll ever know
Boy, it’s for sure
You can always count on my love
Forever more, yeah, yeah

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
('Cause you don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right

Repeat Chorus

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
('Cause you don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right
Repeat

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, yeah

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
('Cause you don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right

Lyrics: Kanye West ft. Twista & Jamie Foxx - Slow Jamz

Classic Fridays
Slow Jamz
Kanye West ft. Twista & Jamie Foxx

Are you gonna be?
Say that you're gonna be

Jamie Foxx
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...

Chorus (Jamie Foxx):
She said she wants some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross, a little Anita, will definitely set this party off right
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be? Well well well well well)
She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition, some Minnie Ripperton, and definitely set this party off right
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be? Well well well well well)

Kanye West
I told her to drive over in your new whip
Bring some friends you cool with
I'm gonna bring the cool whip
Then I want you to strip
See you is my new chick
So we get our grind on
She be grabbing, calling me Biggie like Shine home
Man, I swear she fine homes
Why she always lying though
Telling me them diamonds when she know they rhinestones
She got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
Got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
I play 'Ready for the World' - she was ready for some action
My dawg said you ain't no freak, so you got to prove my man wrong
I'm a play this Vandross
You're gonna take your pants off
I'm gonna play this Gladys Knight
Me and you're gonna get right

Repeat Chorus 2x

Twista
Got you looking at the gliss at my hands and wrists
While I'm laying back smoking on my cannabis
When it come to rocking the rhythm like Marvin and Luther
I can tell you ain't no messing with Kan-man and Twist
From the Chi and I be
Sipping Hennessy
Play some R&B
Trying to smoke a B
Looking properly
Feeling on a G?
And always (well well well well well)
Come with me and sip on some Evelyn Champagne
You ain't know Twista can work it like the Whispers
Hit the stop light, get into some Isaac
The rims still moving so I'm bumping little spinners
While I'm smoking on a B
Dipping through the streets
Bumping R&B
And I got to leave
something to the 23's?
And I do it (well well well well well)
With my earth and the wind smoke a fire
Let me when get your sheets wet listening to Keith Sweat
Put you in a daze for maze
Fullfilling our every temptation slow jamming having deep sex
You ready for the world girl
Come on over make me touch you all over your body baby don't say no to me
An every moment you controllin' me I'm loving the way you be holding me when I be listening to Jodeci
And when I come over and bend your ass
You be bumping Teddy Pendergrass
I'd hit it from the back to the melody to roll it slow
Now I gotta go up in it fast, but I'm gonna finish last
No matter how much of a thug you see
I still spit it like it's R&B, so to the club with me
And with some Luther come on and hope you finna and still be in love with me

Repeat Chorus 2x

Twista
Baby drop another slow jam
And all us lovers need hold hands
And if you ain't got no man hop up in my Brougham
I keep it pimping like an old man
You got to roll with the plan
Cause after that then I
Take it to the dome
Then I got to bone
Stay up in the zone
Got to get you home
Gotta run up on
And I do it (well well well well well)
Baby drop another slow jam
And all us lovers need hold hands
And if you ain't got no man hop up on my brohem
I keep it pimping like an old man
You got to roll with the plan
Cause after that then I
Take you to my home
And we could get it on
Disconnect the phone
Just to get you goin'
Trying to make you moan
And I do it (well well well well well)

Lyrics: Atlantic Starr - Masterpiece

Classic Fridays
Masterpiece
Atlantic Starr

A simple touch of your hand
And everything is right
The gentle way you look at me
When we kiss goodnight
You've given me the freedom no other love has known
And now I thank you girl, thank you girl

The countless ways you've touched my heart
Is more than I can say
The beauty that you've shown to me
Takes my breath away
A picture perfect painting, that's what our love is
And yes I need you so, and now I know

Chorus:
Ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
A work of art it's true
And I treasure you my love
Ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
A work of art it's true
And I treasure you

Sometimes I wonder what I'd be
Had I not found you
A least and lonely soul this world
Could show me nothing new

But now my life's a canvas
Painted with your love
And it will always be
And now I see

The gentle walks together
Through time will never pass
This fairy tale we shared
Is real inside our hearts
Let it be forever
Never let it end
This promise I can make
Heaven is ours to take

Repeat Chorus

When I'm lost and insecure
You build me up and make me sure
That everything will turn out right
My love

Repeat Chorus

This fairy tale we're sharing
Is real inside our hearts
You know it's true
Me and you girl
Let it be forever
Never let it end
Oh no, please never let it end

Let's keep it together
Baby love
I know that we can do it
If we try
It's not so hard
We can work it out
And I treasure you...
