Oh Mary Mack
All dressed in black
With silver buttons
All down her back
Say you found another lover
Instead of me
Tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gon' set you free

Girl
When you leave my sight
When you go
It's no mystery
I'm not blind
To your whereabouts
And it's time
You came clean with me
In your heart
You belong to me
But it's clear
Where you'd rather be
And though it hurts
And it could break my heart
Baby I wanna know
When it concerns me

All I wanna know
Is when he kissed your lips
Did it feel the same as me
And if it does
Then I will let you go
I will bow out gracefully

Oh Mary Mack
Oh Mary Mack

Babe
If your love is real
Then you
Would not lie to me
Ooh girl
And if you love me still
Then explain
Explain this hotel key
It's kinda sad
After all I've done
That you
Would turn your back on me
Was it love
Or did he twist your arm
To make you turn away
Turn away from me

A summer love is beautiful
But it's not enough
To satisfy emotions
That are shared between us
A winter love is cozy
But I need so much more
It just intensifies my wants
To have a love that endures

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right

An autumn love is special
At this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone
Does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I'm glad to say in my heart
I know my love's lasting

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

Love never came between us
For love was too deep in our hearts
It's the silly things we do between us
That managed to tear us apart
But oh I believe if we work real hard
We can get through, through it this time
Girl just trust me and I will trust you
There'll be nothing that we can't get through

I love you, babe
In the scariest way
I want you, babe
To stay with me
I love you, babe
Though I'm hurtin' to say
I want you, babe
To stay with me
I love you, babe
In the scariest way
I want you, babe
To stay with me
I love you, babe
Though I'm hurtin' to say
I want you, babe
To stay with me

Trust never came between us
And that's just the way that we are
It's the crazy things we do between us
That managed to break both our hearts
But oh I believe that we can survive
Through anything if we'd only try

Baby, stay, won't you stay
Baby, stay, with me.....

written by Babyface, Sid Johnson (1986)

My friends tell me
That he's been cheating on you
And that he treats you unkindly
He's using you
My friends tell me
That he keeps messing around
And that your love is so blinded
You think that it's it cool

Well, he never sends you roses
He never kisses you goodnight
He never thinks about your anniversary
He says he don't have time


Well, I might be wrong to think
A little bit confused
That a girl like you is too beautiful
For a guy like him to use

What ever happened to chivalry
What ever happened to love and true honesty
What ever happened to chivalry
What ever happened to love and true honesty

My friends tell me
That he's been bragging about
All of the girls that he's doing
All over town
My friends tell me
He's putting you down
And you're so in love you can't tell
He is turning you out

Well, he never sends love letters
He never takes you out at night
He never wines and dines your heart
He says he don't have time


Well, I might be wrong to think
A little bit confused
That a girl like you is too beautiful
For a guy like him to use

The mood is right for living, ooh I can't wait
I've waited so long to be with you this special way
Don't be afraid, afraid to stay
And share your love with me this way

I understand baby it's your very first time
I'll be gentle with you baby, it's gonna be alright
And so if we're gonna be together tonight
I'll be good to you baby, sweet to you lady
Guess what we're gonna be tonight

Calling all cars (REPEAT)

I never thought that
I could feel this way
You came around and
Brought about a change in me

I was a typical guy
You came along and blew my mind
You were runnin' fast
I was runnin' slow
Everybody said that it would not work
Love came and set me free
You were standing there to rescue me
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love, well

Why, it's no crime
If I'm guilty of love
Let me do my time
Why, it's no crime
Everybody needs love
And baby (so do I)

You never thought love
Came so easily
No doubt about it
Never in your dreams, no way

You were a typical girl
You came along and changed my world
I walk slow
You walk fast
Everybody said that it could not last
Love came inside of me
Never knew how good our love could be
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love, well

HOOK

I've spent half a lifetime
Waiting for someone
You say I know it was you
They don't recommend it
I don't understand it
I've been reprimanded
'Cause I'm in love with you

Calling all cars (REPEAT)

You were a typical girl
You came along and changed my world
I walk slow
You walk fast
Everybody said that it could not last
Love came inside of me
Never knew how good our love could be
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love, well

Why, why

So do I, so do I
So do I, so do I
Oh so do I

HOOK with ad lib

Why

I used to think that love was so silly
Something that a girl like me never dreamed of
And it all was for me (no not really)
But there was not a guy who was special enough
Until you came and made me so happy
Like a child on Christmas Day
I was so, so, so, so anticipating
And I didn't know I could ever feel this way

Love saw it
Love saw the change in my heart
You brought me so much joy
Love saw it
Love saw the hopes of a girl and a boy
You bring me joy, you bring me joy, you bring me joy

I used to think that love was a mischief
Something that a guy just could not figure out
As if I never had no fancy stuff
Not even a clue what true love was about
Until you came and made life worth living
Like the very first day of spring
I was so, so anticipating
Girl, I didn't know I had love inside of me

Love saw it
Love saw the change in my heart
You brought me so much joy
Love saw it
Love saw the hopes of a girl and a boy

Oh girl, my, my girl
I never thought that I could love a girl the way I do
Oh boy, my my my my boy
I'm so glad that I found your love too

Love saw it
Love saw the change in my heart
You brought me so much joy
Love saw it
Love saw the hopes of a girl and a boy (x2)

You bring me joy, me joy, me joy, me joy, me joy
You bring me joy, me joy, me joy, me joy, me joy
Keep on bringin me
Keep on bringin me a joy

Love called my name, love saw me change
Love rescued me from the danger of pain
Love called my name, love saw me change
Love rescued me from the danger of pain
Love called my name, love made me change
Love rescued me from the danger of pain
Love called my name, love saw me change
Love rescued me from the danger, danger of pain

You brought me so much joy
Love saw it, love saw it
Love saw the hopes of a girl and a boy

I just can't explain it
My heart can't contain it
Love saw the change in my heart
You brought me so much joy
Love saw it, love saw it, love saw it, love saw it
Love saw the hopes of a girl and a boy

Deep in the heart
Love has many ways
Of touching your emotions
Taking control of you
And even in thought
Love can make you change
There's no way of controlling love
When it's part of you

Well you could be a married man
With two kids and a good woman
And you could give your heart and soul
I swear it don't mean nothin'
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel

I'm telling you love
Boy makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
I'm telling you love makes things happen
You never know what you're gonna do
When ever true love takes hold of you

There's never a time
'Cause love will let you know
Love appears at the worst and even the best of times
Takes over your mind
Your heart is not your own
There's no way of controlling love
It controls your life

Well you could be a faithful girl
With a good heart and good intentions
And you could never leave your home
I swear there ain't no preventions
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel

HOOK

There's nothing love can't make you do
When love takes hold of you
You can have the purest heart
And the finest attitude
But I swear that don't mean nothin'
When your heart's under the spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel

I'm telling you love
Makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
I'm telling you love makes things happen
You never know what you're gonna do
When ever true love takes hold of you

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You're never gonna know it
Who you're gonna love
Who you're gonna love - baby

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You're never gonna know it
Who you're gonna know - it

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
You never know

You never know
You never know it

You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no

First, there is no doubt
Not for a minute
You've always been my heart's
Number one and number and two
Girl, you were right there
And I won't forget it
By my side for all those nights
I had to hold on to you

If there's one thing that I know
Girl, you are my heart and soul
When I needed love indeed
You were always there for me

And I'll make love stay
'Til my dying day
And it really makes me feel good
Just to say

After all that we've been through
It's so nice to know someone like you
Still cares for me, baby
'Cause you're my kinda lady
And no matter what I do
I promise that I'll keep on
Loving you, pretty baby
'Cause you're my kinda lady

You're my kinda girl

Now I know
That nothin' could separate us
You'll always be my girl
I will always be your man
We go as far
As love's gonna take us
To the room of love we'll zoom
Long as we're hand in hand

If there's one thing that I know
Girl, I'll always love you so
When I needed love to be
You were always there for me

And I'll make love stay
'Til my dying day
And it really makes me feel good
Just to say

You're my kinda girl
My kinda girl
My kinda girl

I get a real good feelin'
Deep inside my soul
Girl, when you're around
I just lose control
And I can't stop thinkin'
'Bout the way I feel
Girl, you are the only one
That gives me chills
And I can't stop lover
'Cause you mean too much
Ooh I start to lose it, girl
Whenever we touch
We got too much time
And that's for sure
We need to stay together
And never let go, no

My kinda girlie
You're my kinda girl
You're my kinda girl
'Cause you're my kinda girl

HOOK with ad lib

You're my kinda girl
My kinda girl
You're my kinda girl

Somebody told me
There'd be trouble at home
'Cause we never talk a lot
When we spend time alone
So how are we supposed to know
Know when something is wrong
Well, we've got a right to communicate
It keeps a happy home

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me
Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

When we go to work
How the day seems so long
The only thing I think about
Can't wait 'til we get home
'Cause we got a way of talking
And it's better than words
It's the strangest kind of relationship
Oh, but with us it always works

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Whatever you want
It's alright with me
'Cause you've got that whip appeal
So work it on me
It's better than love
Sweet as can be
You've got that whip appeal
So whip it on me

Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me
Keep on whippin' on me
Work it on me
Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

And no one does it like me
And no one but you
Has that kind of whip appeal on me
