featuring Ayana

Oh, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

1 - If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

Girl I'm so surprised to see
The young, fine woman that you grew up to be
Your body's banging like a 400SE
Even your attitude flows pleasantly
I remember when you was just Tonya Hall
A girl that likes to play basketball
As far as I was concern, you were one of my boys
I never cared about my sex or yours but

Repeat 1

I'm happy to see
That you're home from school
And I wanna let you know that I'm proud of you
Even when we was younger I admired you
That's why I always used to pick fights with you
I remember when we used to call each other names
Mimic old tv shows and play those childish games
Like I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane
Can we do that nowadays?

Repeat 1

2 - [Ayana]
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
Spent a little time with you
I would've dressed cuter too
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been on your team
When we played hide and seek
Instead of you chasing me

[Ayana](Musiq)
You're so fly now
(Girl stop playing)
I didn't know you were that guy now
(Naw I ain't)
Phat car, phat life
Impressed I am
Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby

Repeat 1

[Ayana & Musiq]
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
Oh I would've spent a little more time getting to know you
Baby I would've been more gentle

Repeat 1

Verse 1:
I never thought on the first night 
You would bare what you hold so dear to life
And share with me all your innermost fantasies baby
And afterwards in my arms you cried
Had me feeling some kind of way on the inside
Then I knew it was going to be me and you

Hook:
So if the world was to believe that what we share weren't meant to be
Then it would be just you and me against the world
And if our friends and family if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy 
Then it will be just you and me against the world, yeah

Verse 2:
Now I'm not the kind that kiss and tell
But my man said that he really knows you well
But I don't care cause I wanna know you form my damn self 
And even if my sister said you scandalous
Said that you're known to go from one man to the next
But I don't care what she say
Cause you're going to forever be my lady

Hook:

I wouldn't care if you were a prostitute
And that you hit every man that you ever knew
You see it wouldn't make a difference if that was way before me and you
And you don't ever have to worry about me
As long as you keep it real
Whatever is on your mind 
You speak on how you feel
Stay truthful to me 
Never lie to me
And don't ever keep no secrets 
No matter whatever, whatever no
Girl you know what I mean

They could say what they want
But it will never change my views 
Cause they'll never know you the way that I know you
See I'm trying to share the rest of my whole life with you
And if we got to be alone, so be it baby
If they can't understand our love
Then we don't need them baby
We can go against the whole world
Even our friends turn on us
Even our family turns on us
That's alright 
Cause as long as we got each other baby
Then we can make it baby
Through whatever

Girl I know this might seem strange
But let me know if I'm out of order
For stepping to you this way
See I've been watching you for a while
And I just gotta let you know
That I'm really feeling your style
Cause I have to know your name
And leave you with my number
And I hope that you would call me someday
If you want you can give me yours too
And if you don't I ain't mad at'cha
We can still be cool cause

I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name 
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Damn I'm surprised that you called
Cause the way you walked away
I thought I wasn't gon see you no more
Since you didn't wanna give me your name
I thought that you were iggin' me
And wasn't diggin' me
But anyway what you doing tonight
I'll probably be with my peeps
If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by
And you can just chill with us
Or you can just chill with me
As long as you're comfortable
And you feel secure when your with me cause

I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name 
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Oh, oh, baby yeah
Maybe we can oh
Go and see a movie girl
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do 
Just let me know 
It's up to you

I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name 
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill

I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name 
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Verse 1:
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I could've sworn
That the kiss that was meant truly for me is leaving me torn
How could love be so kind and so gentle and turn and be so cold
Why must my arms feel so empty for what my heart still holds

Hook:
Mary how could you go 
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so 
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby

Verse 2:
Was there something I could've done to change this outcome here
As if I blinked my eyes and suddenly she up and disappeared
How can love escape your grasp without you ever letting go
And until she returns to my arms I may never know

Hook:

M,A,R,Y,H,O,W,C,O,U,L,D,Y,O,U,B,E,S,O,C,R,U,E,L,T,O,M,E,M,Y love
M,A,R,Y,H,O,W,C,O,U,L,D,Y,O,U,B,E,S,O,C,R,U,E,L,T,O,M,E,M,Y love

How many times have I called you 
While you were working just to say
Left messages on your answering machine
About three or four times a day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my heart to you - 143

So many times I've brought roses
Just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you about my day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my soul to you - 143

Girl you know you are so special to me
And you deserve to be treated exclusively
I treat you like Valentines Day 365 a year
Make sure that everything you need will always be right here
I just refuse to be your typical ordinary run of the mill
Garden variety lover
I'll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve
I wanna make you feel fine
Just like a summer breeze
Cause I refuse to be predictable average run of the mill
Garden variety love
See sometimes words may get in the way 
Of things that you really really meant to say
So I wanna out this time to make sure that how I really feel
Gets through to you
Cause listen 
There aren't many more ways and words that I can say 
So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way'
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way
To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down 
To 143 - and that means I love you

Verse 1:
Love
So many things I've got to tell you
But I'm afraid I don't know how
Cause there's a possibility
You'll look at me differently
Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name 
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause......

Hook:
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Verse 2:
Many days I've longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your kiss, for your touch, for your essence (your beautiful essence)
Many nights I've cried from the things you do 
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you're real
With no doubt or no fears
Or no questions

Hook:
At first you didn't mean that much to me
But now I know that you're all I need
The world looks so brand new to me 
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do I do it for you
What I say is how I feel so believe it's true
You got to know I'm true, love

Verse 1 
Last night you said you wanted to talk to me 
But I was at work and you know how my job could be 
Then you said that it could wait until later on 
Cause it wasn't really all that important 
I guess we can talk 
When you get home 
So now you got me thinking about all the things that I've done 
And wondering if I did something wrong 
Then again it didn't really sound as if you were mad 
Could've been something you were just afraid to ask me 

Chorus 
If there's anything you want you need 
Don't be afraid to ask cause you're my girl 

Verse 2 
Girl don't you know my whole world stops for you 
In this relationship you're first and I come two 
And I appreciate how you respect my space 
But on the real I'm there for you anytime of day 
You should never start to wonder where you stand 
Cause each and every day I live I'm going to show you 
That I'm your man 

Chorus 
If there's anything you want you need 
Don't be afraid to ask cause you're my girl 
Repeat until end

Ever since I can remember
Cats been comin' up and askin' how did I get to be where I'm at
With my whole style
And got the nerve to ask would I change anything about it
Say it's too clean or too crowded
But see that's just the thing
Cause that's something that I don't worry myself too much about
Cause I'm gonna do it the way that I've been doin' it
Since the first day that I start doin' it
Maybe fine tune it just a little but just enough
Cause' I don't wanna **** up and ruin it
I take this thing too seriously
My style is the ****** point of me
But see cats just don't get it
Cause ****** just always gotta find a label or some kind of category
Sayin' yo this kid gotta be this
And he gotta be that
And he gotta be whatever
Yo I just gotta be whatever you want and need me to be to
Make your life better
m, U, s, I,Q, s, O, u, l, c, H, i, L, d
That's my name
**** what
That's me

(Verse 1) 
Five foot seven with light green eyes 
Body built like a woman over twenty-five 
Plus she push the whip that the average women couldn't get 
Less she worked about two nine to five's 
Girly played the game just a little too mature 
She damn near had everything I was looking for 
But things seemed shady 
When I asked my lady to meet at the club 
She had trouble at the door 
That's when I found out that 
(Ohh) 
She was only seventeen years old 
And I couldn't see her no more 
(Ohh) 

(Chorus): 
I ain't tryin to see myself locked up 
For knockin up some young joan 
(Ohh) 
How could I explain this situation to my family 
And all of my boys 
(Ohh) 
I'm sorry shorty 
But you've got to get gone 
Yeah 

(Verse 2) 
I tried to cut her off 
But she wasn't having it 
She kept telling me her age didn't mean sh-- 
And that's when she started to cry 
Baby I need you in my life 
And without you I just couldn't handle it 
So what's a brother to do 
(Ohh) 
Either way I lose 
(So) 
I could just say my piece 
Or piss off her peace 
And talk it out with the boys in blue 
Cause when it comes down to it 
(Ohh) 
She was just seventeen years old 
And I was dead wrong from the door 
(Ohh)

(Chorus)

(Fade out)

[Verse 1]
When we were introduced by your girl Ruth
I knew that you got down
Skin caramel complexion
Lips chocolate Brown
I'm wondering now would you get huff for me
And let me stuff your Philly blunt with this black Sensi
(Most definitely)
We can continuously
Get high like the clouds that watch the city
Huff till we'd go blind like my man Stevie
Till the whites of her eyes are bloodshot
Glossy
Then we'll fall fast asleep
And when we wake up we can pick up where we L-E-F-T
See I don't mind if you don't
Cause see I'm like if your with it then it's on
So see me tonight
All the while I'm hoping that she would inhale
So I could be like Michael Jackson and enjoy myself
Cause What I went to do is make a tuna melt
Should roll up in the sheets and let me spark that L

[Hook] (x2)
What we gone do when the L is gone
Should we just roll some more
So we can flow some more
Or maybe I should just take you home
And make you fiend for my
Like a love jones

[Verse 2]
It was evident that you were hesitant when we did it
You rolled it, I lit it, We hit it
Instantly you effected my state of being on cloud nine
I can tell that the hydro got you
By the way your eyes were half closed and mine too
Lord knows if we would have rolled another Stogie
You would have been holding like En Vogue
I knew that you laced it 
(Yes Indeed)
Cause I can tell when I tasted it 
(Yes indeed)
Got me breaking in sweats
Feeling like something crawling all over my neck
You got me drawn 
(Yes indeed)
I can't believe that you've got this type of effect on me
It seems I've been fiending for you
And your fiending for me
For that high that we both need
Tell me what

Girl you got me speechless baby 
You really got me speechless baby 

Verse 1 
Darlin' baby got me goin crazy 
I can't seem to get you out of my 
You look so good to me gotta tell 
Even my friends wonder 'bout me I 
Day and night I think about you 
Don't know what I go through just to forget about you 
I can't say that I know much about you 
Can't say that you know much about me 

Hook 
All I know you got me speechless 
All I know you got me speechless 

Verse 2 
Now I've seen many girls in my 
Like you I never had the pleasure 
Before I get too far ahead of my 
Heart says I need to be with you I 
I don't mean to be comin' off like 
I apologize if i'm bein 
But I'm really diggin' on 
And I'm hopin' you feel it to 

Hook 
All I know you got me speechless 
All I know you got me got me got me baby baby 

What I can't figure out 
Why is it so hard for me to find the right words to say to you 
No matter how many words I use 
Nothing's good enough to tell you how I feel about you baby

Verse 1:
Before you go can we just talk a moment
We shouldn't end it like this
Can we just chill for awhile
Put your bags down, just try to hear me out
I know that recently we've been fussing and fighting
And I know that you're tired of me
But if you leave this is how I'll be
Picture me

Hook:
Picture me
Down and out, lost without you
Picture me
Broken hearted
And so lost and lonely

Verse 2:
You don't want to go
As much as I want you stay
Cause I built my whole life around you
And I'm not just about to let it all slip away
And what about the tears that we've shared
And all the things that we said
We're they all just in vain
Girl if you bounce on me
What I used to be is just a memory
This is how I'll be 

Hook:

Verse 3:
(TALK)
I know that I ***** up alright
And I'm sorry, I'm really sorry
I mean but I got issues
You got issues, every body got issues
We're human ya mean
So what you want me to do about that
I mean cause
(Sings)
I can tell a bunch of lies
And make like everything is alright
But I know deep down inside that I'll be 
Deceiving you and misleading you
And I don't want to so can we just try
Try this one last time
Let's give it one more chance
Before you say good-bye

Ad-lib til fade:
Can you picture me girl
Not wanting to eat no more
Not wanting to sleep no more
Only wanna be with you
Cuz I need ya
I got to have you......

Featuring: Aaries

Your love means the world to me 
Words could not express the joy you bring 
Your love moves me tenderly 
To have you by my side means everything.. I'll sing 
Your love has the best of me 
If I could give you more then that would be... 

Settle for my love, settle for my kiss 
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss 

So give to me a vow and take my hand 
Settle for my kiss 
Cause it's all I can give 
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss 

Your love means the world to me 
Like the ocean wide your love runs deep 
Your love.. oh baby.. moves me tenderly 
Like the birds outside my window sing 

Settle for my love, settle for my kiss 
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss 

So give to me a vow and take my hand 
Settle for my kiss 
Cause that's all I can give, baby 
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss 

I can't bring you precious stars or paradise 
And all these things are really on my mind 
All that I can give to you is love so true 
From the heart... oooh 

Your love means the world to me (means the world) 
No words, no words, express the joy you bring 
Your love has the best of me 
If I, if I could only give you everything.. baby

Settle for my love.. settle for my love 
(repeat with adlibs to end)

Verse 1:
So many people are on a search to find
Within their days for that place
Within their minds to hide 
And dump the load of this worldly life
And the things that it can make you feel and do
Just to pass away your time

Chorus:
But you be alright
Cause if you just hold on 
Be strong (you) 
You be alright 
Yes you will (yeah)

Verse 2:
People have a tendency
To think to themselves that they're the only ones
Going through more things than anyone else
But oh, I bet you'll beg to differ
If you would just consider the bigger picture
Cause then you would see that most people go through
The same things that you do in life

Chorus:
But you be alright
Cause if you can take it
You surely can make it
You be alright (yeah)

Bridge:
Just take a good look around
Look at the things and all the people
People that you see cause
We share a joy, we share a pain
So it doesn't matter at all
Ohh, were all the same

Chorus:
But you be alright
Cause if you can take it
You surely can make it
You be alright (yeah)

Bridge:
Don't think that you're the only one
Cause you be alright
See I know things look real hard now
It's gonna work out somehow
Problems may come problems may go
Just as long as you know 

Chorus:
But you be alright
Cause if you can take it
You surely can make it
You be alright (yeah)
