4-WHAT IT TAKES
(Tyler/Perry/Child)
there goes my old girlfriend
well there's another diamond ring
and all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
so baby what's the story
did you find another man
is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
when you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
but now it's cold inside
and you're back on the street
like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
tell me what it takes to let you go
tell me how the pain's supposed to go
tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
without thinking you lost everything that was good
in your life to the toss of the dice
tell me what it takes to let you go
girl before I met you
I was F.I.N.E. fine
but your love made me a prisoner
yeah my heart's been doin' time
spent me up like money
well then you hung me out to dry
it was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'cause you had me deep with the devil in your eyes
tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
tell me that it's better when you're all alone
tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me
tell me who's to blame for thinking twice (no no no no)
'cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
(let it go let it go ... )
5-DUDE (LOOKS LIKE A LADY)
(Tyler/Perry/Child)
cruised into a bar on the shore
her picture graced to grime on the door
she a long lost love at first bite
baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
that's right
backstage we're having the time
of our lives until somebody say
forgive me if I seem out of line
then she whipped out her gun
tried to blow me away
dude look like a lady (4x)
so never judge a book by it's cover
or who you're going to love by your lover
love put me wise to her love in disguise
she had the body of a venus
lord imagine my surprise
dude look like a lady (4x)
what a funky lady
she like it like it like it like that
he was a lady

6-JANIE'S GOT A GUN
(Tyler/Hamilton)
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
whole world's come undone
lookin' straight at the sun
what did her daddy do
what did he put you through
they say when Janie was arrested
they found him underneath a train
but man he had it comin'
now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
dog days just begun
now everybody is on the run
tell me now it's untrue
what did her daddy do
he jacked a little bitty baby
the man has got to be insane
they say the spell that he was under
the lightning and the thunder
knew that someone had to stop the rain
run away, run away from the pain
run away, run away from the pain
run away, run away
run, run away
what did her daddy do
it's Janie's last I-O-U
she had to take him down easy
and put a bullet in his brain
she said 'cause nobody believes me
the man was such a sleaze
he ain't never gonna be the same
honey honey, what's the problem
tell me it ain't right
was it your daddy's cradle-robbin' that
made you scream at night
7-CRYIN'
(Tyler/Perry/Rhodes)
there was a time
when I was so brokenhearted
love wasn't much of a friend of mine
the tables have turned, yeah
'cause me and them ways have parted
that kind of love was the killin' kind
all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
now I'm tryin to forget you
love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
do what you do-down on me
now there's not even breathin' room
between pleasure and pain
yeah you cry when we're makin love
must be one and the same
it's down on me
yeah, I got to tell you one thing
it's been on my mind
girl I gotta say
we're partners in crime
you got that certain something
what you give to me
takes my breath away
now the word out on the street
is the devil's in your kiss
if our love goes up in flames
it's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
now I'm tryin to forget you
love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
do what you do to me
'cause what you got inside
ain't where your love should stay
yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'till you give your heart away
I was cryin' when I met you
now I'm tryin to forget you
love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
now I'm dyin' just to let you
do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby
I was cryin' when I met you
now I'm tryin to forget you
love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
now I'm tryin to forget you
love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you
8-AMAZING
(Tyler/Supa)
I kept the right ones out
and let the wrong ones in
had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
there were times in my life
when I was goin' insane
tryin to walk through
the pain
when I lost my grip
and I hit the floor
yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
of livin' a lie
I was wishin that I
would die
chorus
it's Amazing
with the blink of an eye you finally see the light
it's Amazing
when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
it's Amazing
and I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
that one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
and how high can you fly with broken wings?
life's a journey not a destination
and I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
you have to learn to crawl
before you learn to walk
but I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street
just tryin' to survive
scratchin' to stay
alive
chorus
9-BLIND MAN
(Tyler/Perry/Rhodes)
I took a course in hallelujah
I went to night school for the blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya
but nothing seemed to light my fuse
but it's all in the past
like a check that's in the mail
she was a tall whiskey glass
I was an old hound dog that just loved to chase his tail
until I met a blind man
who taught me how to see
a blind man
who could change night into day
and if I can
I'm gonna make you come with me
because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds away
I've had some lovers like a joy ride
some things are never what they seem
my heaven's turned into a landslide
I thank God I woke up from the dream
because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds
the way bees chase honey
and drink all the flowers dry
we'll be saving us a little money
and if that don't do it, yeah, I know the reason why
don't make no sense lightin' candles
there's too much moonlight in our eyes
because here comes the sun
ain't no surprise
ain't no doubt about it
gonna open up your eyes
10-DEUCES ARE WILD
(Tyler/Vallance)
I love to look into your big brown eyes
they talk to me and seem to hypnotize
you say the things nobody dares to say
and I'm not about to let you fly away
my lover with no jet lag
we'll stay up all night in my sleepin' bag
you got a heart-beatin' rhythm from the subterrain
I really love you little girl, I don't need to explain
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl
like a double shot of lovin' so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'cause you and me is two of a kind
like deja vu I feel like I've been here
or somewhere else but you've been always near
it's you that's in my dreams I'm beggin' for
but I woke up when someone slammed the door
so hard I fell out of bed
screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
and the moral of the story, I can testify
I get stoned on you girl, that's the best reason why
11-THE OTHER SIDE
(Tyler/Vallance)
lovin' you's got to be (take me to the other side)
like the devil and the deep blue sea
forget about your foolish pride
c'mon, take me to the other side
my mama told me there'd be days like this
and man she wasn't foolin'
'cause I just can't believe the way you kiss
uh huh
you opened up your mouth with baited breath
you said you'd never leave me
you love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss
you're cryin' me a river but I got to get across
I'm lookin' for another kind of love
oh lordy how I need it
the kind that likes to leap without a shove
oh honey, best believe it
to save a lot of time and foolish pride
I'll say what's on my mind, girl
you love me, you hate me, you cut me down to size
you blinded me with lovin' yeah it opened up my eyes
lovin' you's got to be
like some devil and the deep blue sea
my conscience got to be my guide
oh honey take me, take take ...
take me to the other side
I'm lookin' for another kind of love

12-CRAZY
(Tyler/Perry/Child)

seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
and it always seems you got somthin' on your mind other than me

and that you're headin' out to Hollywood

13-EAT THE RICH
(Tyler, Perry, Vallance)
well I woke up this morning
on the wrong side of the bed
and how I got to thinkin'
about all those things you said
about ordinary people
and how they make you sick
and if callin names kicks back on you
then I hope this does the trick
'cause I'm sick of your complainin'
about how many bills
and I'm sick of all your bitchin'
'bout your poodles and your pills
and I just can't see no humor
about your way of life
and I think I can do more for you
with this here fork and knife
chorus:
eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
eat the Rich: take one bite now, come back for more
eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest
so I called up my head shrinker
and told him what I done
he said you best go on a diet
yeah I hope you have some fun
and a don't go burst a bubble
on rich folk who get rude
'cause you won't get in no trouble
when you eats that kind of food
now they're smoking up their junk bonds
and then they go get stiff
and they're dancing at the yacht club
with Muff and Uncle Biff
but there's one good thing that happens
when you toss your pearls to swine
their attitudes may taste like shit
but go real good with wine
(chorus)
believe in all the good things
that money just can't buy
then you won't get no bellyache
from eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
your inheritance won't last
so take your Grey Poupon my friend
and shove it up your ass!
(chorus)
eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
eat the Rich: take one bite now, come back for more
eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby
14-ANGEL
(Tyler/Child)
I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin that I do is for you
I want your love let's break the wall between us
don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light
you're my angel come and save me tonight
you're my angel come and make it alright
you're my angel come and save me tonight
don't know what I'm gonna do about thins feeling inside
yes, it's true loneliness took me for a ride
without your love, I'm nothin but a beggar
without your love, a dog without a bone
what can I do, I'm sleepin in this bed alone
you're the reason I live
you're the reason I die
you're the reason I give when I break down and cry
don't need no reason why
baby, baby, baby
15-LIVIN' ON THE EDGE
(Tyler/Perry/Hudson)
