(Jay-Z)
Uh, uh, uh, jigga
Hey, you gotta bounce to this like this
You almost gotta watch to this
Escape
(Mariah) {Clue}
Oh your loves so good
I don’t wanna let go
And although I should
I can’t leave you alone {ha ha}
'Cause you’re so disarming
I’m caught up in the midst of you
And I can not resist at all {sing the song} oh
(Mariah)
Boy if I do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break my heart
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Gimme your love
Gimme your love
(Repeat)
(Mariah)
It’s a shame to be
So euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me the things
That you know
Persuade me to relinquish my love to you
But I can not resist at all, oh no
Boy if I do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break my heart
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
(Jay-Z)
Yo, she wanna shop with Jay, play box with Jay
She wanna pillow fight in the middle of the night
She wanna drive my Benz with five of her friends
She wanna creep past the block, spying again
She wanna roll with Jay, chase skeeos away
She wanna fight with lame chicks, blow my day
She wanna inspect the rest, kick me to the curb
If she find one strand of hair longer than hers
She want love in the jacuzzi, rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib, keys to the newbie
She wanna answer the phone, tattoo her arm
That's when I gotta send her back to her mom's
She calls me heartbreaker when we apart it makes her
Want a piece of paper, scribble down "I Hate Ya"
But she knows she loves Jay because
She loves everything Jay says, Jay does and uh
(Mariah)
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Gimme your love
Gimme your love
Gimme your love
Gimme your love

CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY
Mariah's Theme
(Mariah Carey/Diane Warren)
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
They can do anything they want to you
lf you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
No
They can't take this
Precious love
l'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go
They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach
Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

BLISS
(Mariah Carey/James Harris III/Terry Lewis/James Wright)
Touch me baby
It feels so amazing
And you stimulate me
And you make me want you
More and more
What do I do
What do I say
Does it feel good
To you this way I wanna be
All that you need
Boy what's your fantasy?
Better hold on, ready or not
Baby my love ain't gonna stop
Take it down low
Make me get high
CHORUS:
Ooh my love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on (X2)
See, all my love's for you
Baby don't you rush me, no
You got to take it slow
Just let the feeling grow
Until it overflows
Anyway you want it now
Just gotta tell me how
To give you everything
You've even dared to dream
Isn't it bliss
To you right now
Don't be subdued
Say it out loud
Ain't it a sweet
Luscious delight
When you're immersed in my
Ocean of love
Coming on strong
Baby I've been waiting so long
Revel inside of paradise
CHORUS:
Ooh my love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on (X2)
See, all my love's for you
So
Gimme some pure delectable love
Like I'm gonna give to you
Keep coming around
'Cause I won't run out
I can't get enough of you
My love goes on
CHORUS:
Ooh my love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on (X2)
See, all my love's for you
All my love's for you

HOW MUCH
Featuring Usher
(Mariah Carey/Bryan Michael-Cox/Jermaine Dupri/
Tupac Shakur/Darryl Harper/Tyron Wrice/Ricky Rouse)
The way I feel for you
I can't describe
It's almost too intense
To verbalize
Essentially you're all
I'm living for
And basically each day
I need you more and more
CHORUS:
Have you ever been so enamored baby
That's how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend
Have you ever felt lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That's how much I love you
Love is yours and mine
Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend
Don't underestimate the love in me
It's obvious these feelings run so deep
I fall and fall for you day after day
Nobody else could ever take your place
CHORUS:
Have you ever been so enamored baby
That's how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend
Have you ever felt lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That's how much I love you
Love is yours and mine
Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend
You don't gotta waste your time and worry
You don't gotta look for reassurance
'Cause clearly you're the only one that's getting this and
Sugar I don't need nobody else
But you
And honey I ain't letting go too soon
Because I can't get enough
Why you asking how much?
It's more than you can handle baby
CHORUS:
Have you ever been so enamored baby
That's how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend
Have you ever felt lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That's how much I love you
Love is yours and mine
Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

AFTER TONIGHT
(Mariah Carey/Diane Warren/David Foster)
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of time
And time again
Patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive
CHORUS 1:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade
I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all I'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of time
Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes
CHORUS 2:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
Time
And time and time again
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive
CHORUS 3:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins to fade

X-GIRLFRIEND
(Mariah Carey/Kandi/Kevin Briggs)
CHORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Hey ex-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it won't stop
'Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you
It don't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying
To get wit him
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again
CHORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Hey ex-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calls and notes
On his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won't really care
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back aqain
CHORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
I understand why
You want him back
But don't you know
Our love's too strong
For you to penetrate
It's too late
He's not your baby no more
Ex-girlfriend...
Ex-girlfriend...
HORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go

Snoop Doggy Dogg/Warren Griffin III/Andre Romell Young/Nathaniel Hale)
(Mariah)
Honey they can't do it like this

With two big tigglebitties for your mouth
Heartbreakers must partake in the sensation
So So Def and Clue, hits in the making

Like here we go, cause the b**** don't play
(Mariah)
Ooh your love's so good
I don't wanna let go
And although I should
I can't leave you alone
'Cause you're so disarming
I'm caught up in the midst of you
And I can not resist at all, oh
Boy if I do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break my heart
Heartbreaker you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
I need someone to give me some real love

Why, when I met you last night baby

Come on, yeah, yeah, uh, uh, come on, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, yeah, uh

Well if the Brat gave a f*** about a nigga
My heart would be broke
Should of know you were star struck
When I left your stroke
My guards were up in the beginning
But then I gave you my heart and you broke it again
I'm a fool when you smile, tell me I'm convinced
I get caught up in you and I just can't resist
I know you lie to me, it just drive me nuts
That one kiss could persuade me to believe your bluffs
You set it up and impressed me with pimps and rings
I wish love was dollars cause money ain't a thang
Cause Iluminati and MC move the party
I got a heater ready to blaze somebody
It's that dummy you, it's that for each member of my crew
In fact, I'ma heartbreak you
Lay you flat on your back
You really don't know
So I advise you not to trust me no
(Missy)
Yo, yo
Baby, I'm the real thing
So why you got me sweating you consistently baby
Baby, I got that good thing
So while you're making love to me you crazy baby
(Oh!)
I like the way he used to spank me
He used to lie me on my back take that!
He used to have me in the sack, legs back
But now he be buggin' lately
Hey boy why you actin' stinky
I keep ya stiff like wood baby
So if you wanna keep a good lady
You need to stop with all the heartbreaking
(Mariah)
Heartbreaker you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
Heartbreaker you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
Heartbreaker you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)
(Phil Collins)
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
And there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now

CRYBABY
Featuring Snoop Dogg
(Mariah Carey/Howie Hersh/Snoop Doggy Dogg/Trey Lorenz/
Timothy Gatlin/Gene Griffin/Aaron Hall III/Teddy Riley)
When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry
Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that deep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're
Tryin' to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new
CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
Sipping Bailey's Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And try to forget you
CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
SNOOP'S VERSE
CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

DID I DO THAT
(Mariah Carey/Craig B./Tracey Waples/
Joseph Smokey Johnson/Wardell Joseph Quezergue)
I really hope
When you hear this song
That you're happy
With someone new
'Cause I found a love I can call my own
And I owe it in part to you
Don't you know that you seem
Just a little crazy
You had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it's all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have thought
I was high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time
CHORUS:
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And the things you would never do
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations, painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn't speak
But boy to tell you the truth
It was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we're not the same in truth
CHORUS:
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And things you would never do
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you
Though your attention span's not that long
Try to do the best you can do!
CHORUS:
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And the things you would never do
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And the things you would never do
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

PETALS
(Mariah Carey/James Harris III/Terry Lewis/James Wright)
I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability
A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering
CHORUS 1:
And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you
But I miss you dandelion
And even love you
I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery
A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity
CHORUS 2:
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep ...
CHORUS 3:
And I missed a lot of life
But I'II recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you
I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -
And I found the strength
To break away
Fly...

RAINBOW
Interlude
(Mariah Carey/James Harris III/Terry Lewis)
I know there is a rainbow
For me to follow
To get beyond my sorrow
Thunder precedes the sunlight
So I'll be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow's end
I will be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow's end
I will be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow's end

THANK GOD I FOUND YOU
Featuring Joe & 98°
(Mariah Carey/James Harris III/Terry Lewis)
(Mariah)
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate
Myself from you
After so much suffering
I've 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
(All)
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
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you
(Joe)
I will give you everything (everything)
There's nothing in this world (oh, no)
I wouldn't do
To insure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because 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 all right
Because I need you in my life
(All)
CHORUS:
Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)
I was lost without you (so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you
(Mariah & Joe)
BRIDGE:
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
(All)
CHORUS:
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful
I found you
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you
(Mariah)
