EMOTIONS

Lyrics & Music: M. Carey – D. Cole – R. Clivillés

 

You’ve got me feeling

Emotions

Higher

Higher

Higher…

I feel good
I feel nice
I've never been so
Satisfied
I'm in love
I'm alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feels like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don't know if it's real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

 chorus:
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

Now in the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
Next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don't know if you're real
But I really like the way I feel
Inside

 chorus:
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

 

Repeat chorus

You know the way to make me
lose control
When you're looking into my eyes
You make me feel so
Higher…

chorus:
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

 

Higher

You’ve got me feeling emotions

Yes you do

You’ve got me feeling emotions

 

You’ve got me feeling higher…

 

IF IT’S OVER

 

“If It’s Over” was also released as a single but it didn’t steal the spotlight like “I’ll Be There”.

 

IF IT’S OVER

Lyrics & Music: M. Carey – C. King

 

Intro: We’re gonna do a song called “If It’s Over”, which I wrote with one of my idols, Carole King.

 

Ooh…

Won't you talk to me
This is so out of hand, out of hand
Something's gone wrong
With the life we than planned, yeah

Won't you look at me
You're avoiding my gaze, yes you are
And it seems like you've changed
In so many ways
Yeah

Oh it isn't fair
It isn't right
If it's really gone
Then tell me tonight
If it's over (Over)
If it's over
Let me go (Just let me go)

Don't you know
I don't need no apologies, no
I'm not looking for no sympathy, oh
All I'm asking for
Is for your honesty
Won't you give it to me
Give it to me now

It isn't fair
It just isn't right
'Cause if it's really gone
You've got to say the word tonight
Oh, yeah
If it's over (Over)
If it's over
Baby if it's over (Just let me know)
Won't you let me know
Baby if it's over (Over)
If it's oh...
Over, let me

Go (Just let me go)


Thank You

 

SOMEDAY

Lyrics & Music: M. Carey – B. Margulies

 

Intro: We’d like to dedicate this next song to anyone who’s ever been dumped by someone you love.  It’s called “Someday”.

 

Maybe now you just can’t conceive

That there’ll ever come a time

When you’re cold and lonely

Baby, how could you ever believe

That another could replace me

The one and only

But when you’re down

In your time of need

And you’re thinking that you

Might be coming back to own me

Just think again ‘cause

I won’t need your love anymore

 

You were so blind to let me go

You had it all but you didn’t know

No one you’ll find will ever be

Closer to all your dreams than me

Believing the grass would be greener

You told yourself “I just don’t need her now”

But I know you’ll soon discover

You’re never satisfied with any other

 

chorus:

Someday Ooh someday

The one you gave away will be the only

One you’re wishing for

Someday hey hey

Boy you’re gonna pay

‘Cause baby I’m the one who’s

Keeping score

 

You’ll change your mind and call my name

Soon as you’ll find they’re all the same

And when you find yourself alone

Don’t come back crying

Yeah, you should’ve known

Believe me I’m not pretending

It’s not hard to predict this ending now

‘Cause I know you’ll soon discover

you’re needing me in spite of all the others

 

chorus:

Someday Ooh someday

The one you gave away will be the only

One you’re wishing for

Someday hey hey

Boy you’re gonna pay

‘Cause baby I’m the one who’s

Keeping score

 

Repeat chorus

 

Maybe now you just can’t conceive

That there’ll ever come a time

When you’re cold and lonely

Baby, how could you ever believe

That another could replace me

The one and only

But when you’re down

In your time of need

And you’re thinking that you

Might be coming back to own me

Just think again ‘cause

I won’t need your love anymore

 

chorus:

Someday Ooh someday

The one you gave away will be the only

One you’re wishing for

Someday hey hey

Boy you’re gonna pay

‘Cause baby I’m the one who’s

Keeping score

 

Someday…

You’ll come for me

Wishing for me

For me (x4)

Oh yeah, baby

Someday…

The one you gave away

Will be the only one…

Someday

 

VISION OF LOVE

Lyrics & Music: M. Carey – B. Margulies

 

Intro: Ok, this song was my first single, ever, and it’s called “Vision Of Love”, thank you.

 

Treated me kind

Sweet destiny

Carried through desperation

To the one that was waiting for me

It took so long

Still I believed

Somehow the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you’ve given to me

 

Prayed through the nights

Felt so alone

Suffered from alienation

Oh, carried the weight on my own

Had to be strong

So I believed

And now I know I’ve succeeded

In finding the place I conceived

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you’ve given to me

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you’ve given me

 

I’ve realized a dream, Oh yeah…

An I visualized

The love than came to be

Feel so alive now

I’m so thankful that I’ve received

The answer that heaven has sent down to me

 

You treated me kind

Sweet destiny

And I’ll be eternally grateful

Holding you so close to me

I prayed though the nights

So faithfully

Knowing the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you’ve given to me

Had a vision of love

All that you turned out to

Be

 

Thank You

 

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Lyrics & Music: M. Carey – D. Cole – R. Clivillés

 

Intro: And this next song is my latest single and it’s called “Make It Happen”.

 

Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing
If I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now
I've found my way

If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up

But you must be strong
Baby, just hold on
You'll never find the answers
If you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
Still I have to keep on going
Never knowing
If I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now
I've finally found my way...

If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen (Yes)
Make it happen (I know, you're gonna make it happen)
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
He's gonna make it happen

If you believe in yourself enough (If you believe)
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen (Yes you are)
Make it happen (Make it happen)
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord - You just gotta hold on
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

Make it happen...
Oh, yes
Make it (Make it)
You're gonna make it
Make it (Make it)
Oh, make it

Make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And finally found my way...

If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen (Yes he is)

If you believe in yourself enough (If you believe)
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen (You can make it)
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen
Yeah
You can make it
Make it happen
Gonna make it
Gonna make it
You're gonna make it

If you believe in yourself enough - Gonna make it
And know what you want (Gonna make it)
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

CAN’T LET GO

Lyrics: M. Carey – Music: M. Carey – W. Afanasieff

 

Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

 

Intro: We’re done with the show, but I want do this one for you, because I thank you so much for coming.

You’ve been great for me, you know I’m not used to doing this and you guys made it great for me so I just wanna thank you so much.  Thank you.

 

There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right
Don't you know you were my life

Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone
No, no

Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

Oh...
Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind

Even though I try (No, no)
I can't let go (I just can't get you out of my mind)
Something in your eyes (I never can)
Captured my soul (Say goodbye)
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let you go

No, even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes (Something)
Captured my soul (Of my soul)
(That I need, so badly) And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Ooh baby

 

Closing: Thank you so much for coming out, I really really appreciate it and I love so much.

MTV Unplugged was Mariah’s third album where she put together six of her most popular tracks to date (March 1992) and also produced a number one hit: The cover of the Jackson Five’s “I’ll Be There”.  All the arrangements, as usual in this kind of live performance, were completely different and they sound great, especially songs like “Someday” or “Emotions”.  LC
