"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
(duet with Luther Vandross)



Here we are so close to the end now
Still holdin' on, we try and pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying (It's dying)
We've tried and tried to find us a way out
But darling, our dreams have now all been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

But how many times can we say goodbye
And how many times can we see love die
And how many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye
Mmm, goodbye (Goodbye)

We're so in love, but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us used and both of us using (Hey, hey)
Darling, it's time that we stop pretending (Stop)
There's just no way to rewrite our ending (No way)
We're caught in this game and we both know we're losing

Oh, but how many times can we say goodbye
Hey, how many times can we feel love die
Tell me how many times can we give it one more try (One more)
Before we really say goodbye
Yeah...oh...ho... (Whoa...oh...oh...)

How many times can we break up and make up
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on (No) and on living a lie
Though I'll always love you

How many times (Ooh) can we say goodbye
Oh...and how many times can we live this lie
Hey, how many times can we give it one more try (One more try)
How any times before we really (Really, really) say goodbye
Bye-bye (Goodbye) Bye-bye
(Goodbye) Bye-b-b-bye-bye-bye
(Goodbye) Ey, hey, goodbye

"How You Once Loved Me"


I've passed the point of reason
Of caring how I feel
What used to matter most to me
Has no importance now
I wish I knew how to love again
I kept most all your presents
In the bureau down the hall
And when I'm into huting me
I look them thru
And I think of you, and how you loved me

[Chorus:]
How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too

There are no rhymes or reasons
Why people carry on
From the day young girls discover
They're different from little boys
And love is just a toy
They can play with
And we were just as foolish
Now I can't be that way
Maybe you feel just as strange
And too afraid to say
I can find a way to say I love you

[Chorus]

"Humbly I Pray"



Lord humbly I pray
For Your grace another day
Sometimes its hard to lift my head
And Lord
As long as You're with me
I know that I will be
Able to handle everything
There is no shame on me
Lord you took everything
Righteousness flows from Thee
It was Your gift to me
Lord I lift up chis day
Show me the way
Make everything I say
Bring glory to Your name
Make everything I do
Bring glory to Your name
Lord humbly I sing
To the glory of Your name
I know that there's no one like You
And Lord as I walk with You today
Let Your light show me Your way
So I might be more like You
I know You died for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that flowed from Thee
Was só I might be free
Lord I lift up this day
Show me your way
Make everything I say
Bring glory to Your name
Make everything I do
Bring glory to Your name

"I Always Get Caught In The Rain"



I fall in love, and I get hurt
When bad luck hits, I get it first
To try again seems useless now
I'll get hurt again, anyhow

Cause I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

Sunny day (a sunny day), life's so gay
Then suddenly (suddenly) it goes away
Without a warning, lightning strikes
I'm heading for another lonely night

I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

"I Can't See Anything (But You)"



I should thank you for the flowers
Can't imagine how you came to think of those
That same colour rose, for me
My world is made up of memories
You and I, the laughter and tears
You never need to worry

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you

I remember all the good things
When you held me for the first time
Things were right
On that rainy night, for us
Love, then, now and forever
No time real and right where we are
As good as my eyes can be

I can't see anything
See anything but you

There could be some many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you

No one ever cried
No one ever stood in the way
Ev'rybody lies
Ev'rybody buys what love is today
You can be a fool
In the beginnin, baby you were there
And when you're winning
What do you do
Don't ask me

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others but...

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others but...

"I Can't Wait To See My Baby's Face"



I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
'Cause he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah

Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I mean
What I mean to him
'Cause just one tear is all he's got to, to she'd for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my baby's, baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I see my baby's face

"I Could Make You Mine"



If I could be alone with you
The way that I am longing to
I could make you mine

If I could hold you very tight
The way I do in dreams at night
I could make you mine

But you belong to some other heart
And you vowed never to part

So I go on until the end
Just loving you while I pretend
If I had met you in time
I could have made you mine

But you belong to some other heart
And you vowed never to part

So I go on until the end
Just loving you while I pretend
If I had met you in time
Oh, I could have made, could have made you mine

Could have made you mine
Could have made you mine

"I Cry Alone"


I cry alone
When no one else can hear me
When friends come by to cheer me
I smile and say I feel okay

But I cry alone
Each lonely night without you
But when they talk about you
I make believe I never grieve

And here in my room
When no one else can find me
I lock the door behind me
And I cry
Please come home, come back to me
Oh how I long to kiss you
If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

"I Do It 'Cause I Like It"



Said that we have all the time we need to make it right
Don't hurry for nobody, if it ain't the thing you like
Know your place and fit your space, young man, you will conform
I didn't hear my soul express those rules when I was born

Free to roam 'cause that's my home, you can't stop sweet inclination
The kids want the system breakin' down, not higher education
If it ain't no natural law then you can keep your regulations
'Cause if I like it, I do it

But I, I keep on movin', though they wanna bring me down
I gotta run for the cover
And keep on smilin' though they wanna tie me down
And give me death for the lover
And I keep on losin' though I'm provin' what I'm doin'
I'm still groovin' and if I like it, I do it, yeah

I like it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I like it

You've got to help those people break that legislation
We can overcome this suffocation
Execute your natural liberation
Happy to enjoy rejuvenation

All around, hear the sound, no one can stop us now
A thousand rules for plastic fools, now they can take a bow
Surely there's been time to see, it doesn't work by now
So if I like it, I just do it

Still I keep on findin' that they're pushin' those distorted visions
And I keep on livin' but I'm dyin' 'cause of their decisions
If I keep on lookin', I can find an higher space
I'm still groovin' and if I like it, I do it, yeah

Oh yeah, if I like it, yes I know, if I like it
Yeah, don't you know? If I like it
If I like it, if I like it, if I like it
I'll just do it, yeah, yeah

I wanna do it, do it, do it, do it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I gotta do it, yeah, come on

If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
Just do it

I wanna do it, yeah, I think I'll do it now
I think if I'll like it I'm gonna do it
Stay, we gotta do it now
We gotta do it now, yeah
We gotta do it right now, now

Ah, there's my DJ, yeah
You know I wanna do it
Come on, let it out

Hey, everybody said that if you like it, I think you better do it
I think I'm gonna do it, I think I'm gonna do it
I think I'm gonna do it, you know I wanna do it
Come on, Peter let's do it, oh if you like it, yeah
Oh if you like it, yeah, oh if you like it, yeah

Said that we have all the time we need to make it right

"I Fall In Love Too Easily"



There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been FOOLED in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

"I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"
(originally by Tommy Hunt)



I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and the rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't what else to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and the rain
I need your sweet love to ease
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

"I Just Have To Breathe"



There are things that I did long ago
That I don't do anymore
We grow out of things
Each day is different
Than the day before
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe

There are needs we have
When we are young
And discard as we mature
Time can change so much
The only certain thing is
Nothing's sure
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe

It's not an easy place
This world we face
But I'll face anything
As long as that warm morning sun
Will always bring me you

There's a time for everything we do
When it's over we move on
Just true love remains
And I'll still love you
When all else is gone
For me to love you
I just have to breathe

In this world where nothing stays the same
Stay with me

"I Know, I'll Never Love This Way Again"
(feat. Gladys Knight)



You looked inside my fantasies
And made each one come true
Something no one else had ever found a way to do
I kept the memories one by one
Since you took me in
I know I'll never love this way again

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on

A fool would lose tomorrow
Reaching back for yesterday
I won't turn my head in sorrow
If you should go away

I'll stand here and remember
Just how good this been
And I know I'll never love this way again

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on

"I Love Paris"



Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers
Or whether soft be her tears
More and more do I realize that...

I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is here

"I Love You Porgy"



I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And I'll be glad

Yes I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man

I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

Someday I know he's coming to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
So, it' going to be like dying, Porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes I know I'll have to go

I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

"I Say A Little Prayer"



The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wonder what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

"I Smiled Yesterday"



Though I smiled yesterday
You know I'm not gonna smile anymore today
(Since you went away from me)
How I miss you
(Since you went away from me)
I long to kiss you
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

Though I laughed yesterday
You know I'm not gonna laugh anymore today
(Every moment we're apart)
I get so lonely
(Every moment we’re apart)
I love you only
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"



What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
Don't you know that I'll never fall in love again

Dont' tell me what's it all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get a life of pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
No, no, I'll never fall in love again

I'm out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
Don't you know that I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
