THIS TIME

This time
This time

I made the mistake like before
Givin you the third degree, takin you through it
I told you I get what I want
And I ain't tryna hear nothin else but just you
And I had to take a good look
When everything else didn't have a ring to it
I'm sittin here blamin myself
When I saw what you were feelin inside, I misused it

This time it's all my fault
This time I can't let go
This time I did it
Really, but I got these feelings
How am I supposed to know?
Can't let my weakness show
Have my fixed fate caused me to miss this first chance at real love

Every female I know
Can't seem to take her eyes off of you and I see it
It's just that my girls been so hurt
And I'm not tryna be the next one goin through it
I see that I got somethin real
And I don't wanna lose it and gotta to say thank you
The thought of you gone gives me chills
So baby let's just put this aside and just come here

This time it's all my fault (Really all my fault)
This time I can't let go
This time I did it
Really, but I got these feelings(But I got these feelings)
How am I supposed to know? (To know)
Can't let my weakness show
Have my fixed fate caused me to miss this first chance at real love

Never will I deny you love me
All this time you stuck here and didn't leave (my time)
Now I know what 'trust me you will see' was (And I owe you)
All my heart and deepest apologies
So let's take this back to we got it man
I just wanna do this with you boy

This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me
Baby this time (this time)this time (this time)this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me
This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me
Baby this time (this time)this time (this time)this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE

Ooh no

Come with me, stay the night
You say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do you expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand, and you say you've changed
But boy you know your beggin don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game

So let me on down
Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know

It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
Boy you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real, it doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

I was young and in love
I gave you everything but it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate
Go find someone else
In lettin you go, I'm lovin myself
You gotta problem
But don't come askin me for help
Cause ya know

I can love with all of my heart baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you, I don't have a prayer
That's the way to live, yeah oh

It's just too little, too late
Yeah

HIGH ROAD

I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave everything that i had
But you left me in the cold
But still I had faith Somehow
I believed (I believed, I believed)
That if I keep love in my heart
It will find it's way to me

I could fight, seek revenge
But that's not who I am
No I'm not givin in
I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin thought it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin when life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down,
I'll take the high road
I'm gonna keep climbin till
I see the top
I'm gonna keep tryin though
I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down,
I'll take the high road

I'm gonna get by on the high road (Yes I will)
I'm gonna get by on the high road

This pain that I feel I will overcome
I know somewhere deep down inside
Is a pain that makes us strong

I could curse, I could shout
Take the easy way out
I'll forgive you somehow
I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin thought it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin when life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down,
I'll take the high road
I'm gonna keep climbin till I see the top
I'm gonna keep tryin though
I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down,
I'll take the high road

Oh I know I'll get by, to be free
I can't keep it inside (no I can't keep it inside)
I may fall sometimes but I will survive

I'm gonna keep reachin
I'm gonna keep climbin
I'm gonna keep tryin

I'm gonna keep walkin thought it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin when life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down,
I'll take the high road

I'm gonna get by on the high road
I'm gonna get by on the high road (Take the high road)
I'm gonna be fine on the high road
I'm gonna get by on the high road
I'm gonna get by on the high road
I'm gonna be fine on the high road

LET IT RAIN

Let it rain
Let it rain

From the first day I met ya
I notice your style Had that B-Boy swagger not one of the crowd
And you talked like you knew me
Kept coming around and I fell for ya, yeah
Then as time kept going I notice somethings
Said our love kept growing
Wanted to runaway cause the situation's in the past
Love never really last
Memories just had a hold of me

But I had to let go of the pain Let love rain down on me (let it rain)
Cause you helped me open up my eyes
Show me things I could never see (let it rain)
Cause we can fight and we make up
Wanna see you when I wake up
I’m staying with you only (let it rain)
Cause I need you to show me how our love should really be (let it rain)

I use to wonder where were going
And where I wanted to be
Sitting alone all shocked up waiting for my destiny
Hearing songs on the radio wishing that could happen to me, oh no
Then when you came into the picture then I knew quickly
That we could build something so strong
Expect the best for the future
Forget about what used to be
need you here all life long

But I had to let go of the pain
Let love rain down on me (let it rain)
Cause you helped me open up my eyes
Show me things I could never see (let it rain)
Cause we can fight and we make up
Wanna see you when I wake up
I’m staying with you only (let it rain)
Cause I need you to show me how our love should really be (let it rain)

Cause I see the sunlight whenever we touch
All day and all night is never too much (All that were how)
Afraid of my feelings and falling too deep
But everybodys had this happen one time or another
When you need someone to set your heart free

But I had to let go of the pain
Let love rain down on me (let it rain down down on me)
Cause you helped me open up my eyes
Show me things I could never see (let it rain)
Cause we could fight and we make up
I wanna see you when I wake up
I’m staying with you only (let it rain)
Cause I need you to show me how our love should really be (let it rain)

But I had to let go of the pain
Let love rain down on me (down on me baby)
Cause you help me open up my eyes
Show me things I could never see (let it rain)
Cause we can fight and we make up
Wanna see you when I wake up
I’m staying with you only (let it rain)
Cause I need you to show me how our love should really be (let it rain)

Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

EXCEPTIONAL

Mmmm
You're beautiful but you don't know
Can't see whats there inside your soul
Always feelin like you're not good enough
You wish you could be someone else
Sometimes you just can't see yourself
But I can see just who you are, who you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Dont need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional
(Yeah)

You never you think you measure up
Never smart or cool, or pretty enough
Always feeling different from all the rest, oh
You feel so out of place, you think you don't fit in
I think you're perfect in the skin you're in
You're just perfect just how you are, just how you are, yeah

(chorus)
You're exceptional the way you are
Dont need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional
If you could see the one I see when
I see you You'd know how lucky you are to be you
I see through into you
And you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Dont need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that? (You are)
You're exceptional the way you are
Dont need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional

HOW TO TOUCH A GIRL

Mmm

I think I could like you
I already do
Feelings can grow but
They can go away too
You're takin my hand
Lookin into my eyes
Don't be in a rush to
End midnight

Feel somethin happenin
Could this be a spark?
To satisfy me baby
Gotta satisfy my heart

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

I think I could like you
But I keep holding back
Cause I can't seem to tell
If you're fiction or fact
Show me you can laugh
Show me you can cry
Show me who you really are
Deep down inside

Do you feel somethin happenin?
Could this be for real?
I don't know right now but tonight we'll reveal

Cut me some flowers
Conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
And baby if we do
Ooh I'll be givin all my love to you
Ohh

NOTE TO GOD

if I wrote a note to god,
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
and for love to over flow

if I wrote a note to god
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
and for peace to mend this world

I'd say, I'd say
I'd say
give us the strength to make it through
help us find love, coz love is over due
and it looks like we haven't got a clue
need some help from you
grant us the faith to carry on
give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
coz it seems like so much is goin wrong
on this road we're on

if I wrote a note to god
I would say what on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
until these times

if I wrote a note to god,
I'd say please help us find our way
and all the bitterness with some tenderness in our hearts

no no no no
we can't do this on our own
so .. sooooo

give us the strength to make it through
help us find love, coz love is over due
and it looks like we haven't got a clue
need some help from you
grant us the faith to carry on
give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
coz it seems like so much is goin wrong
on this road we're on

if I wrote a note to god
