"This is me... then"

Still

When I sleep
I have dreams about the way we used to kiss
About the way you used to hold me
And say nothin would ever harm me
When we first met
Oh how you charmed me
Made me smile when I was down
Big pimpin' around the town
You and me
Whenever they'd see you
They'd see me
A lover and a friend to me you were
How did it end
How it hurts
To not have you in my life
when I wanted to be your wife

You never know what you have
Till its gone
Treated you wrong
For so long
Now you're gone away
But the love still lives here

Still...
I still got love for you
Still...
After all we've been through
Still...
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one
There's other men than you
Still...
They can come close to you
Still..
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

A good man you were to me
Always there to care
Would do anything in this world for me
Didn't matter, what, when, or where
You were there
I never thought we'd part from the arguments we'd start
When I just wanted to get some attention
And I'm sorry baby for bitchin
If I could take back the words
That I said to make you leave
I'd be down on bended knees
Asking you to please forgive me

You never know what you have
Till it's gone
Treated you wrong
For so long
Now you're gone away
But the love still lives here

I still got love for you
Still...
After all we've been through
Still...
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one
There's other men than you
Still...
They can come close to you
Still..
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

All of the good times we had together (together)
Do they mean something to you
Do you ever wish we never split (never)
Still got love for you...

I still got love for you
Still...
After all we've been through
Still...
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one
There's other men than you
Still...
They can come close to you
Still..
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

I still got love for you
Still...
After all we've been through
Still...
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one
There's other men than you
Still...
They can come close to you
Still..
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

Loving You

Would you mind if I took the time to get to know you
'Cause it's been a while since all we've been through
And even though I said my feelings wouldn't change
Nothin' stays the same, ooh

I could see when I look in your eyes you mean no harm
It's just the way you manipulate me with your charm
And I can tell the love I have for you's still strong
And there ain't nothing wrong with me still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Ooh)
I find myself still lovin' you (Yeah)
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Ooh...ooh...)
We just need to take it slow

In the past you would act as if you don't really care
You would fight and argue almost anywhere
Lookin' back sometimes I feel like such a fool
For puttin' up with you, boo

Baby, please understand me if it seems I'm confused
It's just it might take me some time to get used to
you
When I things of all the things we used to do, baby
I just find myself still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Yeah)
I find myself still lovin' you (Oh)
But I think we need to take the time to get back (No, no)
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Baby)
We just need to take it slow

I believe you and me have a chance to make this right
Oh, baby, if your heart is in it, I'm still with it
Even after all this time has passed
Oh, I'm still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Yeah)
I find myself still lovin' you (Oh, yeah)
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Baby)
We just need to take it slow

After all that we've been through (Oh)
I find myself still lovin' you
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing (Never give up)
I never give up on the love we had (Yeah)
We just need to take it slow

I'm glad

Baby when I think about
The day that we first met (the day that we first met)
Wasn't lookin' for what I found
But I found you
And I'm bound to find happiness in being around you

I'm glad when I'm makin' love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

I did the way that you get down
(you get down for 'bout)
And you still know how to hold me
(and you still know how to hold me)
Perfect blend, masculine (can't get enough now)
I think I'm in love, damn finally

I'm glad when I'm makin' love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

I'm glad that you turned out to be
That certain someone special
who makes this life worth living
I'm glad you're here just loving me
So say that you won't leave
Cause since the day you came
I've been glad

Instrumental break

I'm glad when I'm makin' love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

The one

Takin' away

The fact that I care about you

It's just your way

So sweet

Everything seems right around you

Did you know that you

Have this calming way about you

When you touch

And I wanna know if I can be your girl

The one who puts her arms around you

The one who lays her head beside you (Your girl)

The one who listens when you need it

When no one else sees, I can see it (Your girl)

The one who knows when something's wrong

The one who knows your favorite song (Your girl)

The one who all your family loves

The one you'd place no one above

I'm happy to say

In a lot of ways you changed me

Makes me smile

When you said you were glad

The day you found me

I'm wishin' away

Any harm that might ever find you

Heaven knows

I really feel I'll always be your girl

The one who puts her arms around you

The one who lays her head beside you (Your girl)

The one who listens when you need it

When no one else sees, I can see it (Your girl)

The one who knows when something's wrong

The one who knows your favorite song (Your girl)

The one who all your family loves

The one you'd place no one above

Your girl, your girl (Your girl, your girl...)

I just wanna be

The one that's true to you

I just wanna be

The one that's makes you smile

I just wanna be (your girl, your  girl...)

The one that holds you down

Your girl...

The one who puts her arms around you

The one who lays her head beside you (Your girl)

The one who listens when you need it

When no one else sees, I can see it (Your girl)

The one who knows when something's wrong

The one who knows your favorite song (Your girl)

The one who all your family loves

The one you'd place no one above

I'll always be...

The one that's true to you

And down for ya

The one that makes you smile

And laughs with ya

The one who holds you down

I'm there for ya

The one, the one...

The one, the one...

The one that's true to you

And down for ya

The one that makes you smile

And laughs with ya

The one who holds you down

I'm there for ya

The one, the one...

The one, the one...

The one that's true to you

The one that makes you smile

The one that holds you down

The one, the one (The one, the one)

The one that's true to you

The one that makes you smile

The one that holds you down

The one, the one

The one, the one

I can be anything you need...

Dear Ben

You're perfect

I just can't control myself,
I can't be with no one else,
Seems I'm addicted to the way you like to touch me
I don't think they understand,
Why I love at your command,
From the words you speak,
So deep about it's need I have to have you

I love you, you're perfect,
A manifestation of my dreams,
You make my body feel,
About a million different things

I think God made you for me,
A mix of passionate fidelities,
Baby your so complete,
I write this song to let you know,
That you will always be
My lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend, and my king,

I love you, you're perfect,
A manifestation of my dreams,
You make my body feel,
About a million different things

There's no way I'd leave you, it is just not a reality,
Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a fantasy

All I Have (ft. LL Cool J)

Love is life and life is livin'
It's very special
All my love...

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go, uh)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah, yeah
(Why you act like that)

It's such a shame, but I'm leavin'
Can't take the way you mistreated me
And it's crazy, but oh, baby
It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me

Uh, uh, uh
I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute, don't bounce, baby, let's talk about this, man

Well, I'm bouncin' and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good holdin' my spot
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
You had to your choice to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

The nights I waited up for you (Oh, boy)
Promises you made about comin' through
So much time you wasted
That's why I had to replace you

Uh, uh, uh
It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settlin' down
Especially me, I was creepin' all over town
I thought my tender touch could lock you down
I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
That's the way you used to giggle right before I put it down
It's better when you angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here

Stop playin, you gamin'
I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good holdin' my spot (Stop actin' like that)
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (Now you
know you need to stop)
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right (Here we go)

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
You had to your choice to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

People make mistakes to make up, to break up
To wake up cold and lonely, chill, baby, you know me
You love me, I'm like your homey
Instead of beef you come hold me
I promise I'm not a phony
Don't bounce, baby, console me, come here

Ain't nothin' you can say to me that can change my mind
I gotta let you go now
And nothin' will ever be the same, so just be on your way
Go 'head and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you no
I know your game and I'm feelin' what you do

So I'm bouncin' and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone, yeah, yeah

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
You had to your choice to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
You had to your choice to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

I promise you
You know what I'm sayin'

Jenny from the block (ft. Styles and Jadakiss)

Children grow and women producing

Men go working

Some go stealing

Everyone's got to make a living

LOX

J. Lo

We off the block this year

Went from a little to a lot this year

Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear

I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from

You hear LOX in your ear

Yea, we're at the airport out decline from the block

Where everybody air-forced-out

With a new white Tee, you fresh

Nothin' phony with us, make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies with us

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

From In Living Color and movie scripts

To On the 6 to J. Lo to this headline clips

I stayed grounded as the amounts roll in

I'm real, I thought I told you

I really been on Oprah

That's just me

Nothin phony, don't hate on me

What you get is what you see

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

I'm down to earth like this

Rockin this business

I've grown up so much

I'm in control and loving it

Rumors got me laughing, kid

Love my life and my public

Put God first

Then can't forget to stay real

To me it's like breathing

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

It take hard work to cash checks

So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, now assets

You get back what you put out

Even if you take the good route

Can't count the hood out

After a while, you know who to blink with

Just keep it real with the ones came in with

Best thing to do is stay low, LOX and J.Lo

Act like they don't, but they know

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block

Used to have a little, now I have a lot

No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)

Like an angel out the sky you came

Clearing up all the clouds

Of sadness and the rain

So pure and healing was the love you bring

I knew inside...

(It felt so right)

For me, I've struggled all my life

To find that thing that makes it right

With you it seems I may have found

Some other kind of love...

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Cause you gave me

Peace and joy...

Again, again, again...

I was scared to let go and trust your love

After what I'd been through I had had enough

Whispering through your eyes you never said a word

But something said...

(Your heart's safe)

For me, I've struggled all my life...

To find that thing that makes it right...

With you it seems I may have found

Some other kind of love...

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Cause you gave me

Peace and joy...

Again, again, again...

A friend is what you'll always have in me

I'm so grateful for the man you turned out to be

And it doesn't matter who you happen to meet

You'll forever be

(A sacred part of me)

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Cause you gave me

Peace and joy...

Again, again, again...

You belong to me

Why'd you tell me this

Were you lookin' for my reaction

What do you need to know

Don't you know I'll always be your girl

You don't have to prove to me

You're beautiful to strangers

I've got lovin' eyes, of my own...

You belong to me

Tell her...

Tell her you were foolin'

(You belong to me)

You don't even know her

(You belong to me)

Tell her that I love you

(You belong to me...)

You belong to me

Can it be, honey, that you're not sure

You belong to me

Thought we'd closed the book and locked the door

You don't have to prove to me

That you're beautiful to strangers

I've got loving eyes of my own,

Of my own...

And I can tell,

I can tell you darling...

You belong to me

Tell her...

Tell her that I love you

(You belong to me)
You belong... you belong... you belong to me
(You belong to me)
Tell her you were foolin'

Tell her she don't even know you

Tell... her tell her you were foolin'

I know you from a long time ago baby
(You belong to me)
Don't make me go to her house
(You belong to me)
You belong, you belong, you belong to me

You belong to me...(You belong to me)

You belong to me...(You belong to me)

You belong to me...(You belong to me)

You belong to me...(You belong to me)...

All I need is a place to be and a way to feel
A space to figure out where I belong
A chance to know my thoughts and find a way to show
What I feel and if this is real
Yeah

Don't wanna disappoint you, don't wanna let you down
Cuz that's the last thing I want to do
I'm asking for your patience
I realize I could lose you
But lately I've been so confused

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
To be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

Wondering endlessly if this is right or wrong
Or if it's just about me all along
All I need is time to search within my soul
So I can share a deeper part of me
yeah

Don't wanna disappoint you, don't want to let you down
Cuz that's the last thing I want to do
I'm asking for your patience
I realize I could lose you
But lately I've been so confused

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
To be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

Baby, what's meant to be would surely be
If you loved me baby you would understand
But I can't give you anything
I don't have myself to give and it's killing me inside

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
To be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
To be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

Boy I never knew I could feel
The way I felt, when I felt

The way you were feeling me baby
I'm so out of control yeah...
Everytime you look my way
I realize more and more
How much I adore

Those pretty eyes of yours

I'm helpless baby

What I wanna know is
Are you willing to try
Can you love me for a lifetime
In just one night
Ohh...

Baby I love you (love you)
Baby I need you (need you)
I gotta have you (I gotta have you babe)
Can't be without you (be without you)
Baby I love you (yeah...)
Baby I need you (need you...)
I gotta have you (I gotta have you babe)
Can't be without you

Blessed and cursed on the same day,
The day that I first felt the power of you
Inside of me, such a strong feeling
There comes a time in everyone's life
When you know, and everyone around you knows
That everything is changed,
You're not the same, it's a new day

Oh... what I wanna know is,
Are you willing to try
There's got to be more meaning to this
Than what meets the eye...

Baby I love you
Baby I need you (baby I need you)
Gotta have you baby (I gotta have you)
Can't be without you (can't be without you)
 

Baby I love you (baby I love you)
Yea yeah... (baby I need you)
I gotta have you (I gotta have you)
Yea, yea yeah... (can't be without you)

Ooh... I love the way you kiss me
Oh, baby please
I'm about to loose my mind
Oh... talk to me, cause I'm beggin' for you and
I'm down on my knees...
Baby I know you're the one that I need...

(Baby I love you...)
(You know I need you...)
(Gotta have you...)
(Can't be without you...)

Ladies do you know what I'm talkin' about
When a man gets inside your soul,
And it takes hold, and it won't let go
Hey.. hey... hey...
