STREET SYMPHONY
(Dallas Austin)
There's somethin' that I wanna say
Feel a little outta place
But I needed 2 make that change
You found a house
To keep me out of the rain
Loved the cars and everythang
The diamond rings, but I loved you much more, baby
(You said)
That you were gonna stop stop when you
(Had enough)
To do what you had to do
(Now you)
Like the profession you've made it for yourself
(You said)
You cared about me and you
(Now all)
You wanna do is hustle, you
(Gotta choose)
Whatcha gonna do and now my words get to you baybay
Chorus:
Never thought I be afraid to trust
Sumbody that I love so much
If I can get him outta da streets
Then he can come back 2 me
Now I see that it ain't no us
Baby tell me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you outta da streets
Then you don't need to be wit me
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you can get away
From the life
Of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it baby
Think of me before I'm gone
'Cause when I'm gone
It will be too late (oh yeah)
(You said)
That you were gonna stop stop when you
(Had enough)
To do what you had to do
(Now you)
Like the profession you've made it for yourself
(You said)
You cared about me and you
(Now all)
You wanna do is hustle, you
(Gotta choose)
Whatcha gonna do and now my words get to you baybay
Chorus:
Never thought I be afraid to trust
Sumbody that I love so much
If I can get him outta da streets
Then he can come back 2 me
Now I see that it ain't no us
Baby tell me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you outta da streets
Then you don't need to be wit me
Never thought I be afraid to trust
Sumbody that I love so much
If I can get him outta da streets
Then he can come back 2 me
Now I see that it ain't no us
Baby tell me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you outta da streets
Then you don't need to be wit me
(Instumental)
Chorus:
Never thought I be afraid to trust
Sumbody that I love so much

Then he can come back 2 me
Now I see that it ain't no us
Baby tell me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you outta da streets
Then you don't need to be wit me
Either the streets or me
The draw is takin' over me
I know I gotta leave
'Cause you weren't there for me

THE BOY IS MINE
Duet with Brandy
(R. Jerkins/Brandy/L. Daniels/F. Jerkins III/J. Tejada)
B: 'Cause me, can I talk to you for a minute?
M: Sure. You know, you look kinda familiar.
B: Yeah you do too. But uhm, I just wanted to know,
do you know somebody named...you know, you know his name.
M: Oh yeah definitely, I know his name!
B: Well I just wanted to let you know he's mine.
M: Hey, oh no, he's mine.
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
(Brandy)
I think it's time we got this straight
Let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake him for your man, are you insane?
(Monica)
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
'Cause you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
(Brandy)
See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make it
Through the day, ain't that a shame
(Monica)
And maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
Because my love was all it took
The boy is mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
(Monica)
Must you do the right things you do
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
But if you didn't know it, girl it's true
(Brandy)
I think that you should realize
I'm trying to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
(Monica)
You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake
(Brandy)
When will you get the picture
You're the past in the future
Get away it's my time to shine
If you didn't know the boy is mine
The boy is mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
(Monica)
You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
(Brandy)
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
This special place in my heart
'Cause he was my love right from the start
The boy is mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine

RING DA BELL
(Dallas Austin)
Ooh, Oooh
I've been talkin' to some friends of mine
'Bout you boy
Says you're 'bout to have a child
When ya gonna tell me 'bout it
This other chick
Ya sleepin' with
Now ya gotta deal with it
Hope ya found happiness
Found myself in just a mess
Hook:
With you
(And I put way too much love)
Into you
(For the one day)
We'll be true
(And time after time)
I stuck with you
(But no I'm through too)
Chorus:
'Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell
And move along
I forgave you before
But it's too far long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell and carry on
You said it was a mistake
On the night you saw her late
Musta been for pure affection
Boy you didn't have protection
You had to think of me
But you did never see
Yourself in this predicament
You never thought it would catch up...
Hook:
With you
(And I put way too much love)
Into you
(For the one day)
We'll be true
(And time after time)
I'm stuck with you
(But no I'm through too)
Chorus:
'Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell
And move along
I forgave you before
But it's too far long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell and carry on
'Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell
And move along
I forgave you before
But it's too far long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring da bell and carry on
How awful
The way you treated me
Gave you everything
So hurt to say
You didn't tell me
Can't wait to leave
(Baby yeah)
(Chorus 2x)
I don't want much more bye bye
You did never care for me
I don't want much more baby
'Cause you didn't really care for me
(Repeat Chorus until fade)

Monica:
Boy this evening was it only me
Feeling completely down to be open
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong, but feeling this way
Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide
I was thinkin'...
Chorus:
I should make a move but I won't,
And then you prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I don't get down on the first night.
I should make a move but I won't,
And then you prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I wanna get down, but not the first night.
Monica:
We was chillin' watching your T.V.
I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And some how in one night, discovered I love you
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how you're carryin' on
Tryin' to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting to late
I'm thinkin'
I should make a move but I won't,
And then you prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I don't get down on the first night.
I should make a move but I won't,
And then you prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I wanna get down, but not the first night.
Monica
If you want me you got to know (Got to know me)
And if you want my love (My love) you gotta win my love
Ba Baby that's the way its got to be
Get to know me (Get to know me) so we can do this
Oooohhh
I should (echo)
I know your prob'ly thinkin' (echo) (I want I want babe)
Knowin' if I do (echo) (I want I want babe)
I don't get down, on the first night.
I should make a move, but I won't.
I know your prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I wanna get down, but not the first night.
I should make a move but I won't,
And then you prob'ly thinkin' somethin' is wrong.
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right.
I don't get down on the first night.

MISTY BLUE
(B. Montgomery)
Oh, it's, been such a long long time
Looks like I got you off of my mind
But I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world misty blue
Oh honey, just the mention of your name
Turns a flicker to a flame
Listen to me good baby
I think of the things we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
Ohhhh, baby I should forget you
Heaven knows I've tried
Baby, when I said that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart I know I've lied, I've lied, I’ve
lied
Oh, it's, been such a long long time
Looks like I got you off of my mind
But I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world misty blue
Ohhhhhhh, no I can't no I can't
I can't forget you
My whole world turns misty blue
Ohhhh my love
My whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I should forget you
My whole world turns misty blue
Ohhhh my love
My whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I should forget you
My whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby I should forget you

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

Gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of mine
How you changed my world you'll never know

You came into my life
Sent from above
When I lost the hope
You show my love

Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine

Deep inside I need to show

As if they were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

TAKE HIM BACK
(D. Austin/Sting)
Maybe exchange him for new shoes
I need to come right back and be alone again
Maybe I didn’t make good use out of him
Didn’t come with no type of warranty
There’s no one that I adore more than you, love
It hurts more to let you back in again, yeah
There’s no one who could ever show me the way
To never trust someone better than you, you
Should I take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away
Take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away, hey
Don’t wanna go through the same games again
He’s no good and that’s just it for me
Does it every time he returns
There’s no use
I’ll just be the one left in the end
There’s no one that I adore more than you, love
It hurts more to let you back in again, yeah
There’s no one who could ever show me the way
To never trust someone better than you, you
Should I take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away
Take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away, hey
Should I take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away
Take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away, hey

Don’t wanna go through the same game
And better if we remain
Don’t wanna go through the same games baby
Should I take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away
Take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away, hey
Should I take him back
There’s no one I adore

To let you back into my life
Cuz you ain’t never treated me right
Should I take him back
There’s no one I adore
And you know it hurts me more
To let you back into my life
Cuz you ain’t never treated me right
Should I take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away
Take him back after what he did
Hurt me in ways that I can’t begin to replace
How I feel, so I’ll just go away, hey

Featuring 112
(R. Marx/B. Gaitsch)
Oceans apart,
Day after day,
And I slowly go insane,
I hear your voice,
On the line,
But it doesn't stop the pain,
If I see you next to never,
How can we stay forever

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you,
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you

That I thought would last somehow,
I hear the laughter,
And I taste the tears,
But I can't get near you know,
Oh can't you see it baby,
You got me going crazy
Chorus:
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you,
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive,
This momment,
But in the end if I'm with you,
I'll take the chance
Baby baby yeah
Chorus:
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you,
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you

Soon as we get in he is lost with his friends
And I'm there in a trance

And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here at someone else's thing

See you from across the room
(Like you wanna know me boy)

(Like you wanna know me boy)
If you wanna make a move

We shared our secrets in the dark
And though we were only friends
I don't know when the feelings changed within' my heart

Promise you (I promise you)
For you I will (Ooooh)
I promise you
For you I will
