Velvet Rope
(Listen with RealAudio)

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

This special need
That's within us
Brings out the best
Yet worst in us
Follow the passion
That's within you
Living the truth
Will set you free

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

Put others down
To fill us up
Oppressing me
Will opress you
Outside leave judgment
Outside leave hate
One love's the answer
You'll find in you

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

You
Here I am in your face
Tellin' truths and not your old lies

Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin' outta time

See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again

Whisperin' in your ear
Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win

Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth

If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away, you feel less than again

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Trying' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Trying' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

There's a feelin' inside
No you cannont change it right away
Gotta make a try
And with time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
'Cause I'm the you you forget
The only one you know you cannot lie to

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run from you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Trying' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Trying' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

Got 'Til It's Gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got, 'til it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got, 'til it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got, 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone

Have a feelin'
Now believin'
That you were the one
I was meant to be with
Oh, how I'm wishin'
Thinkin' dreamin'
'Bout you
And the love
How'd I let you get away

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
Tht you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)

If I could turn the hands of time
Make you fall in love
In love with me again
So would you give me
Another chance to love
To love you
Love you the right way
No games

Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)

Q-tip:

Le me just fuck with it for a minute
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Q-tip:

Now you are realizing when the nights go long, right
Campaign for me to stay
When you know that I'm gone, right
You act all wild
When I tell you to settle
I was working 'round the clock
But you girls want to meddle
Talkin' about, I heard he swims with this chick on the beach
That was out with the tide, but my love you impeached
Now you lookin' at the wals
Head in hand
Cold jonezin
Ringing my house
Hang up and posing

(4 times)
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Love huh...
Now why you wanna go and do that?
And do that? Huh?....

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (gone)

Feelin
In no mood to play around

Go Deep
Listen with RealAudio

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light
We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

I'm feelin' fine
'Cause in time I'll be out tonight
I'm startin' now
Makin' sure I look fine tonight

Call Rene and Boo
Gotta meet them soon
Tell T. to call Shawn
I'll be there at 1:00
When we show up
All the guys at the club
Wanna get our backs
We look good in black

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Unitl the early light
We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

I'm feelin' high
'Cause I'm outta control tonight
(feelin' high don't wanna stop)
He's got me movin'
DJ groovin' I feel way right
(groovin' I don't wanna stop)

I'm gettin' freaked from behind
I don't even mind
'Cause he lookin damn fine
Make him mine in time
Gotta take him home
When I get him all alone
I'll make him scream and moan
He won't wanna stop

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Unitl the early light
We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Unitl the early light
We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

I'm feelin' high tonight
Outta control tonight
I'm feelin high tonight
I feel high

We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Unitl the early light
We go deep
And we don't get no sleep
'Cause we be up all night
Until the early light

Together Again
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me baby
I'll never forget my baby
I'll never forget you

There are times when I look above and beyond
There are time when I feel your love around me baby

When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey it's about you baby
Look deeper inside you baby

Dream about us together again
What I want us together again baby
I know we'll be together again 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in the moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your start
Shinin' down on me

Good times we'll share again
Makes me wanna dance
Say it loud and proud
All my love's for you

Always been a true angel to me
Now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby
Wrap them around me baby
Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now baby
I'm so happy for my baby

Dream about us together again
What I want us together again baby
I kow we'll be together again 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there

Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in the moonlight

Empty
How could it be
That you know me
My deepest fears
My fantasies
Confide in you
What no one knows
But it feels so real

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
When I see your name
My heart starts to race
If I can't read your thoughts
Then I feel empty

Is this a new
Way to love
Never face to face
Is it enough
Does it really count
Or am I a fool
So tell me please
Am I wasting my time

Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
We've never met

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
When I see your name
My heart starts to race
If I can't read your thoughts
Then I feel empty

I'm rushin' home
To turn you on
Sometimes you're there
Sometimes you're gone
Wait for hours
For your return
So tell me please
Am I wasting my time

Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
So tell me
You think that
Maybe we've gone insame
To find a, a lover
And through the words of pain

We've never met

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
When I see your name
My heart starts to race
If I can't read your thoughts
Then I feel empty



What About
We walked along the beach
What a moon lit night
He held my hand in his
He kissed me and he said
I wanna spend my life with you
I want you for my wife
Just then I thought

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that

I took a pause
And then a deep sigh
He looked right into my eyes
As he said
I know I didn't say somethin' wrong
I didn't have the courage to say
But then I thought

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh

What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said
No more please
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh
What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that
What about that

Don't wanna live my life in misery
Don't tell me you did it 'cause you love me
I don't believe
I'm sick and tired
Your deceptive games
Wonder where
You have been
I can't live life wonderin'

My heart was poundin'
But the time had come
To stop lettin' my whisperin' heart control me
And tellin' my screamin' mind what to do
I looked him straight in the eyes
And then I said

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh

What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said
No more please
What about those things
What about that
What about that oh
What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that
What about that

What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about the shit you've done to me
What about that
What about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried
You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that
What about that

What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that
What about that
