(Patrick Moten/Sandra Sully, Anita Baker)

If I could I'd give you the world
I'd wrap it up around you
Won't be satisfied with just a piece of this heart
My angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel
Dreams are dreams – Some dreams come true
I found a real dream baby when I found you
You're so strong
But tender too
You're my angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel

Love like ours is heaven sent
Each day a day to remember
I feel so safe
I feel secure with you
You give me love and keep right on giving
You fill me up baby with the joy of living
When things get tough I can always turn to you
You're my angel, oh angel
You're my angel

Love the way we touch
I love the way it feels
Everytime you're near me
My poor heart just won't keep still
No doubt about it that this love I feel is real
Ask me to go with you, you know I will
Hold me near, hold me tight
Only you can make it real
Only you can make it alright
Just let me know that I am special to you
My angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel

(Patrick Moten/Geronne C. Turner)

Chorus: You're the best thing yet, to ever come into my life

An understanding hand, when the world calls me grand
You protect my heart, right from the start
Sensitive vibes are strong and true
The very best I've always shared with you

And if I should fall, or if I'm standing tall
I can see you standing there, always willing to share
Each and every part of me
You see things I never, never see

(Repeat chorus twice)

Deep down in my mind, I wonder at the blessing that I could find
Someone as loving as you
Could bring into my life this feeling so right
And so true
Like the flowing waters of a silver stream
And like the misty vision in a midnight dream
Such a wonder of life to me
So rare is found such a reason to be

(Repeat chorus twice)

Like the flowing waters of a silver stream
And like the misty vision in a midnight dream
Such a wonder of life to me
So rare is found such a reason to be

(Repeat chorus twice)

Vamp: You're so wonderful
You're so beautiful
You're the best thing yet
To ever come into my life

(Patrick Moten)

Chorus: You've got to feel the need in me
(Repeat 4 times)

So alone I feel at times wondering if you're truly mine
Can't you see the tears falling from my eyes
Can't you feel the pain I feel deep inside
My heart seems to bleed when I feel the need
To hold you in my arms and you pull away
Now I may be wrong but my feelings just don't lie
About this emptiness down deep inside, that's why

(Repeat chorus 3 times)

When you're around you make me feel so good
All of my worries are far away
Then other times you feel so cold
What makes you treat me this way

(Repeat chorus 4 times)

Everybody say that I got to be a fool
I got to be crazy for lovin' you
And I'm starting to wonder if there is truth in what they say
My mind says to leave you but my heart says I better stay
I want to feel like I'm something more than a passing though from you
I need to know that the things you say are true
I want that sweet, sweet love to fill me up inside
And let our two hearts come together for all times

I do not say things that I don't mean
If I do not live you I'd let you know
If I am not right for you
Won't you tell me so
Before you break my heart in two

(Patrick Moten)

Chorus: Come on and squeeze me
Baby won't you tease me
Come on and squeeze me
I like it when you tease me

Like the way you shake your thang
Like the way you move
Love the way you so casually slide into the groove
You know you take me so high boy
I don't want to come down
You don't have to come down
You don't have to be shy baby
As long as I'm around

Ooh you love me so good
I could never love another
And I wish you would
Not be so undercover

(Repeat chorus twice)

Whenever I get lonely I start thinking about you
Ooh sweet baby you're the only one can do the things you do
You tickle my fascination
I get all caught up around you
Such a thrilling sensation
When you get into my groove

Hold me
Tell me I'm your one and only baby
Ooh make it good tonight
I'm gonna make it feel so nice
Ooh your love is so good
I can never love another
And I wish you would
Not be so under cover

(Micheal Powell)

We used to laugh
Now I all do is cry
You used to make me so happy
Now you don't even try

You're hurting me, yeah
You're doing me wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Soon you're gonna be gone

And I know I'm gonna miss you
My love I will send with you
'Cause I've been down too long
And you keep doin' me

Chorus: And there will be no tears for you
Gonna be no more crying now
Gonna be no more tears for you
See my eyes have run dry
And there's no more tears

And no more sadden eyes
From crying through the night
Gonna gather up, gather up my feelings
And lock them all inside

So when you say you're leaving
And you walk out my door
I'll say to myself
You can not hurt me anymore

And I know I should be crying
But instead I'm slowly dying
'Cause all my love has gone
From two hearts so badly torn

(Repeat chorus)

Solo (Piano)

And I know I'm gonna miss you
But for love I got me someone else
'Cause I been down, been down too long
And you, you keep doing me wrong

(Repeat chorus twice)

Ain't nobody cryin'
Dry, my eyes
Lord knows it's gonna be fine
It's gonna be alright after a while
I'm gonna be alright if you would leave
Surely won't you try, surely won't you, baby won't you try
I'm gonna be alright
Lord knows I don't need you no more, baby

(Patrick Moten/Sandra Sully)

Everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top
Everyone wants their name up in lights, for the good times never stop
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind

Chorus: Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes your wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool

Tag: Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And you can win
You can win
And everything is gonna be yours

When you cry the whole world laughs at you
They don't seem to understand
But the time will come when the tables turn
And you're gonna have the winning hand

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat tag)

(Repeat verse II)

Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind

(Patrick Moten/Carlos Turrentine)

Something has come over me
A feeling I can't explain
The love I lost I found again
My broken heart you came to mend
But it still seems as though we are miles and miles apart

The very best is all I got
It's all I got to give
My soul was lost in darkness
But you arrived to see me through
And you came to me all by surprise
Then I moved the dark ness right out of my eyes
And it's plain to see
That you were all I need
And I wanna know

Chorus: Will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine
Sugar will you be mine
Sugar will you be mine

This kind of love only comes around
Only once in a lifetime
But the last love I tried to hold
It left me feelin' so empty and blue
And it made me afraid to let my true feelings show

I need you here right by my side
Each and every night
My soul is cryin' out to you
It's reaching out for somethin' true
Do I have to go
To get you into my life
The suspense is tearing me, tearing me apart

Won't you bring your live
Bring it all to me
So we can live together eternally
Will you be mine?

(Patrick Moten)

When I say to you that my love is true
Do you believe me?
And when I try to give my love to you
Do you receive me?
When I try to do my best and you put me to the test
Baby, do you deceive me?
So baby do what you gotta do and when you do
You're gonna need me

Don't confuse your mind with what the other people say
You wull see in time baby that my love is here to stay
They gonna try to come between us baby
We can't let them in our way
We have got a good thang going
Don't you let it slip away
Don't you let it slip away

Special chorus: “Believe in me”

Now I can deal with the problems that the world has put on me
But sometimes it just gets to hard and I just feel so weak
I really need you baby, baby to believe in me
'Cause the more you do the better I'll be
And I promise you I'll never leave
'Cause this is where I want to be
