Loverboy Remix (w/Ludacris, Shawnna, Twenty II, & Da Brat)
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, Larry Blackmon, Thomas Jenkins,
Da Brat, Twenty II, Shawnna

Mariah:
Loverboy...[laughing]
Candy sittin' in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Uh uh-huh uh-huh baby (x3)
Whhoooeeee!

I wanna (x4)
I need a (x4)
A lover (x8)

Ludacris:
Man is it the glitter on the breast
Or the gloss of the lips
Hickeys on the chest
Or the toss of the hips
I'm lost in the mix
So I floss in the six
Turning out them hits
So I'm exhaused

Shawnna:
Now baby it's the
Mo' paper dough chaser
Now get it right would ya
Heartbreaker
I keep it tight but I'm
No faker
You can laugh now
But you'll cry later

Ludacris:
I think I like ya in your freak clothes
Freak those in my specialized peep shows
And then I'll make you touch your knees to your elbows
Toes curl from P Street of Melrose
The whole world

Shawnna:
It's cool to see I like it when we smoke that
All choked out with some freak sh*t (no doubt)
You kinda got me like a fiend when you roll out
Now get your balls from my girls with that roll out

Mariah:
I got myself a lover
Who knows what I like
When he invites me over
I come every time
And when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go it's
Delirium time

He's all mine
And his lovin' get me high
Like a taste of ecstasy
All I need is him to be my loverboy

Chorus:
Loverboy c'mon and love me
Give me more touch me and touch me
I enjoy the way you rock me
All night long
Loverboy c'mon and take me
Only you know how to make me
Shudder with anticipation
All night long

I got myself a lover
And he's so sublime
It's quite a bit of heaven
To feel him inside
Cause when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go it's
Delirium time

I get weak
When his candy kisses
Sweetly caress my whole body
All I need is him to be my loverboy

Chorus

Twenty II:
Though we kinda innocent
A vision of love
You adore me
Even though my image is thug

Da Brat:
What I see in you
Is for my eyes only to see
I bring out the freak in you
Up and down on me
I'm your lovergirl

Twenty II:
Me your loverboy
And when we home alone
Become each others toys
Makin' noise
Can't avoid

Da Brat:
The way I throw that
Can't pop backdrop
Stopwatch Brat-tat
Get ya more rock hard up
All of the =A0things you wanna do to me
You wanna we can get obscene
My parena and you're ding-a-ling mingle
Bother me not when the sensation come out

Twenty II:
Well girl I'mma make you scream
Uh-huh uh-huh baby
Feel me
When I pump the pump lady
Behind me we can be close like family
So sweet you taste like all types of candy (candy)
From Starburst to jellybeans

Da Brat:
Banana split my Dairy Queen
Butterfinger my tangerines
Chickens only taste my loverboy in their dreams
Yeah all my ladies let me hear you scream:

Hate on me
Much as you want to
You can't do
What the f*ck I do
B*tches be emulating me daily (daily)

Hate on me
Much as you want to
You can't be
Who the f*ck I be
B*tches be imitating me baby

Chorus (x2)

Lead The Way
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

Who would've believed
That you and me would fall
And land together
And who could've foreseen
In you I'd find the place
I've belonged forever
And if I move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way
I'd given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mine to treasure
And now
Nothing's the same
I found myself reborn
On the day I met you
And if we move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way
Suddenly you are lying
Here with me and the truths
I used to hold have changed
And if I move closer
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way

Mariah: Oh yeah [kissing sound]

M: Without you
J: I need you baby

(Repeat)

Ja Rule:
Love
I want your body next to me
On me actually
Off that ecstasy
Reminiscin' how we used to smoke and freak
F*ck and fall asleep
Rockin' for a week
Now we barely even talk and walk the block
Kiss and cuddle up
Girl we losin' touch
What's a man to do but go crazy babe
I know you're mad but you don't really hate me babe
It's deeper than that

Mariah:
Now if we back together again
Sugar I will be your very best friend
I will love you unconditionally
You never wanna let me though baby
I promise I will be by your side
Give you everything you need to get by
Now my broken heart will finally mend
Darlin' if we back together again
Baby if we back together again

Nate Dogg:
Sometimes I close my eyes and just pretend
What if I had a chance to do it all again
Sometimes for happiness we hesitate
Just like the game I hear that love won't wait
What if I had another best friend
What if I had someone on who I could depend
Someone who makes me feel like you used to
Tell me baby-What would you do?

Mariah (Ja Rule):
Now if we back together again
Sugar I will be your very best friend

I will love you unconditionally (I need you baby)
You never wanna let me though baby (Why me?)
I promise I will be by your side (Who would've thought baby)
Give you everything you need to get by (Missin' you baby)
Now my broken heart will finally mend (I need you baby)
Baby if we back together again (Why me?)

Ja Rule:
Why would you wanna go through the pain of lovin' another man
Truth is nobody can love you like I can
It's a damn shame
We can't get along
We used to get it on
Where'd it all go wrong?
I admit your flesh is sweet but the game is strong
We roll my way your way baby we movin' on
It's true gon' miss you
Who would've thought
I'd be without you

M:never thought
J:Baby there's nothin' to lose
M:That I'd be
J: You know my soul's so cold
M: Without you
J: And my love is pain
M: Why me? Why Me?
J: Hit me one more time
M: I never thought
J: My baby
M: That I'd be
J: Pride and joy
M: Without you
J: I'mma make you mine
M: Why me?
J: Without you you you you

Mariah (Ja Rule):
Now if we back together again
Sugar I will be your very best friend

You never wanna let me though baby
I promise I will be by your side
Give you everything you need to get by
Now my broken heart will finally mend
Darlin' if we back together again

Didn't Mean To Turn You On
[To the top]

Written by James Harris III, Terry Lewis

Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on

Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnight's
Not enough for you
I'm sorry baby
I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong
I wasn't trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand

Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh
I didn't mean to turn you on
Oh I didn't mean to turn you on

Turn you on

Tell me why should I
Feel guilty cause I won't give
Guilty cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on

(repeat chorus)

You think that I'm a fool
Cause I wouldn't play by your rules

(I didn't mean to turn you on)

You don't stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you

(I didn't mean to turn you on)

I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice

(I didn't mean to turn you on)

I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the
End of our relationship
Cause I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
Sorry.

Repeat

[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, DJ Clue, Thomas Brown, Toni Smith, M. Tyler

Mystikal:
It ain't nothin' that you can do with the man
Except for shake your a*s clap your hands
Bob your head and move your feet
I ain't the type of rapper just to ride a beat
I set the track on fire
I take the roof the house and knock out your tires
It's the funk in here
Let Mystikal move you and Mariah sing

Mariah (Mystikal):
Don't stop baby
It's ecstasy (watch yourself)
Turn me up a little higher
Baby light my fire
Tell me every little thing you wanna do (do it again do it again)
I'm into you (get on the floor)

Don't stop baby (shake your a*s shake your a*s)
It's ecstasy (party shake the whole grill)
Turn me up a little higher (sing)
Baby light my fire
Tell me every little thing you wanna do (hey)
I just wanna love you (bob your head and move your feet)

Mystikal:
Heads up look out it's 'bout to go down
And what they didn't know about me then I bet they know now
I'm 'bout to prove my fame
So just get out the way and let me do it again
It's on tonight
I'm known to be more vulgar than the garbage truck sucka
You can't stop a train
You ain't got no umbrella so get your a*s out the rain
You ain't louder than this
I'm like a bowl of gumbo you ain't hotter than this
I'm what they play in the club
I keep them movin' till I leave that's what they payin' me for
You already know what I do
So have my money and my munchies and my cigars too
I'm known for bringin' the heat the heat
Ain't nobody cuttin' up but MC and MT

Mariah (Mystikal):
Don't stop baby (shake your a*s shake your a*s)
It's ecstasy (watch yourself watch yourself)
Turn me up a little higher
Baby light my fire
Tell me every little thing you wanna do (do it again do it again)
I'm into you (uh-oh uh-oh get on the floor get on the floor)

Don't stop baby (move your feet your feet)
It's ecstasy (party shake the whole grill)
Turn me up a little higher (sing)
Baby light my fire (hey)
Tell me every little thing you wanna do
I just wanna love you (li-li-li-li-li-li-liiinnnnggggg)

Mystikal:
Go ahead and party
Mix that with that dark but don't waste it on my Jordan's
Keep laughin' till your mouth tired
Go ahead and move somethin' up but take that cigarette outside
Get on the floor
It's another number one debut fa' sure
Now say it ain't real
And if I ain't a fool why you can't keep still sing

Mariah (Mystikal):
I feel it (hey hey)
And I let it get into me (fa' sure fa' sure)
Jamaican funk that's what it was oh (dance dance)
Let it get into you (watch yourself watch yourself)

Don't stop baby (clap your hands clap your hands)
It's ecstasy (get on the floor get on the floor)
Turn me up a little higher
Baby light my fire
Tell me every little thing you wanna do (party party)
I'm into you (it's on tonight it's on tongiht)

Don't stop baby (shake your a*s shake your a*s)
It's ecstasy (watch yourself watch yourself)
Turn me up a little higher
Baby light my fire
Tell me every little thing you wanna do (do it again do it again)
I just wanna love you (get on the floor)

All My Life
[To the top]

Written by Rick James

I've been waiting for someone to come into my life
Who would bring me joy and give me pleasure
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
And I found that in my heart it's you I treasure

You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and that's forever and ever

All my life
My love's been waiting for you
All my life
My heart's been waiting too

All my life...

I've been wishing on a star
I've been praying on my knees

I've got some sly and sexy tricks to show you
Most of all I'll give you anything boy that you need
To keep you right here by my side
I know you
I'll show you

You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and that's forever and ever

All my life
My love's been waiting for you
All my life
My heart's been waiting too
Don't you know I need you
And adore you
All my life I'll give to only you

Reflections (Care Enough)
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, Philippe Pierre

Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms
With how we said goodbye

Did you really care
Care for me at all
Did you really care
Did you care for me at all

A displaced little girl
Wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day
To keep on living
And tried to many ways
To keep her soul alive

Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me

If I'm not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of
A mother's love
You could have had the decency
To give me up
Before you gave me life

Don't you even care
Just the slightest bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe, in my heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly

Don't you even care
Care at all for me

Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize

Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (w/Fabolous & Busta Rhymes)
[To the top]

Written by Michael Cleveland

DJ Clue:
Yeah
DJ Clue
Desert Storm
Fabolous
With Wilma
M.
Holla

Fabolous:
I'm tryin' to save your life
We can do it in the mix
I'll even raise the privacy shade if we do it in a six
Everything his & hers
I know you like sippin' K movin' until you vision blurs
Exquisite furs is preferred
You even got a set of keys to the Spiz 'n Jerz (-?)
With your man it ain't promised
I'm the kid that'll make sure you keep that tan from St. Thomas
It's no trouble at all
So you can imagine after I go double it's fall
Most this playa can do is retire
I know Gucci's newest attire and shoes required
I don't care who was your priors
Any man sayin' that he don't want you is a liar
All they can do is admire
F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S
I do this Mariah

Mariah:
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life yeah
Cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said
"You gotta get up you gotta get on
You gotta get down girl"

You know you drive me crazy baby
You got me turning to another man
Called you on the phone no one's home
Now baby why you leave me all alone
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I'd do

Chorus:
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song

You know I hopped into my car
Didn't get very far no
Because I had you on my mind
Why you so unkind
You got your women all around
All around this town yeah

I was trapped in love with you
And I didn't know what to do
But when I turned on my radio
I found out all that I needed to know
Check it out

Chorus (x2)

You listen up to your local DJ
You better hear what he's got to say
There's not a problem that I can't fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
And if your man gives you trouble just move out on the double
And you don't let it trouble your brain
Cause away goes trouble down the drain
I said away goes trouble down the drain

Last night a DJ saved my life

There's not a problem that I can't fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
(x2)

In the mix (x12)

Last night a DJ saved my life

In the mix (x8)

Last night
DJ

In the mix (x11)

Want You
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, James Wright

It's just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
It's just the feeling that comes over me

I had a crush on you
Painstakingly I
Would conceal the truth
You probably always knew
But I was timid like a child
Inhibited and way too shy
I'd glance but then avert my eyes
All twisted up in my desire
But I am not that girl today
Ain't a lot of time for games
I've waited and I've waited now
It's time for me to tell you
'Bout the way

It's just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
Every night and everyday
Must we hesitate
It's just the feeling that comes over me
I cannot alleviate
Please don't make me wait
It's just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
Every night and everyday

Baby I
Was so into you
Now I wonder why
I never pursued
You the way I wanted to

Kiss me and touch me and
Immerse your love in mine
I'll keep unraveling
As we explore our fantasies tonight
(Tell me what you like)
(Now show me what you like)

It's just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
Every night and everyday
Must we hesitate
It's just the feeling that comes over me
I cannot alleviate
Please don't make me wait

Repeat

Never Too Far
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis

You're with me
Til the bitter end
What we have transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
When I remember

Glittering lights
Incandescent eyes
Still preserved
In my mind
In the memories I'll find solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
And I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
And I'll remember

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I'll always think of you and me
Always remember

Love

You're never too far

Twister
[To the top]

Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, James Wright

She was kind of fragile
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside

Childlike and effervescent
With a well of pain
The depth of I could not imagine
If I tried

Never thought that I
Would hear them say
Twister went and threw it all away

She was kind of magical
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release

Dear God, it's all so tragic
And I'll never have the chance
To feel the closure
That I untimately need
No, I never dreamed
That there would come a time
Twister'd go and leave it all behind

Lord I pray she's found some peace
And her soul's somewhere at ease

Yeah I'm feeling kind of fragile
And I've got a lot to handle
But I guess this is my way
Of saying goodbye

Loverboy
[To the top]

Written by Mariah carey, Larry Blackmon, Thomas Jenkins

I got myself a lover
Who knows what I like
When he invites me over
I come every time
And when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go it's
Delirium time

He's all mine
And his lovin' makes me high
Like a taste of ecstasy
All I need is him to be my loverboy

Loverboy c'mon and love me
Give me more, touch me and touch me
I enjoy the way you rock me
All night long
Loverboy c'mon and take me
Only you know how to make me
Shudder with anticipation
All night long

I got myself a lover
And he's so sublime
It's quite a bit oh heaven
To feel him inside
Cause when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go
It's delirium time

I get weak
When his candy kisses sweetly
Caress my whole body
All I need is him to be
My loverboy

Chorus

(Cameo)

This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now
It's the same feeling
I always seem to get around you
Cause you affect me
Fascinate me

I thank heaven for the things that you do
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now

My eyes roll in my head
I toss and turn in my bed
In the morning when I think about you
It's like candy
(Candy)
Simply put
You're the reason why
Even though I'm real shy
I attempt to look my best for you
Indeed I do just for you

Loverboy c'mon and love me
Give me more, touch me and touch me
I enjoy the way you rock me
All night long
Loverboy c'mon and take me
Only you know how to make me
Shudder with anticipation
All night long
