I was in the water, I was half a human
I looked into the clouds for war solutions

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

I was like a wave, I didn’t show emotion
I was a hundred years out on the ocean

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

everything’s illusion
and I flatter to deceive
my life is going fast
it’s make believe

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

I was in the water, I was half a human
I looked into the clouds for war solutions

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

I was like a wave, a pulse across the ocean
I was a stone I didn’t show emotion

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

everything’s illusion
and I flatter to deceive
my life is going fast
it’s make believe

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

everything’s illusion
and I flatter to deceive
my life is going fast
it’s make believe

it’s all in my mind
it’s all in my mind

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
-Verse 1-
Now tell me how you feel if I told
You that I have feelings for you
And would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time
What I feel deep inside for you has changed
But I'd give up on love, if I thought
That it was untrue for you
-Chorus-
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
-Verse 2-
I know that we were just friends
But what if I decide to bring something in
I hope it won't offend the trust
We have 'cause I don't want this to end
If you think that we'll lose what we have
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same
(I'd rather stay the same)
Cause I don't wanna choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
(tell me)
-Chorus-
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
-Bridge 1-
If we take this chance and extend
To each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me
-Chorus-
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
-Bridge 2-
Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me
Lonely if I told you

Baby I get so many people telling
Me they seen you up in
The mall
Are they mistaking
All up on some chick
As though I don't exist
What is this
Why they all in my business
It's just 2 ridiculous
I can't get no sleep
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it
They say I don't need it
Don't they know I made up my mind
my mind
Hounding me. 2 many people say you're faking me
They ask what have you done lately
They say we won't last so they're predicting
That it's over, it's over
Too many girls they dislike me
Since I got you
They wanna fight me
Cause I'm the chick walking around
With the ring
Tell me why these hoes don't even like me

Why they all up in my business
It's just 2 ridiculous
I can't get no sleep
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it
They say I don't need it
Don't they know I made up my mind
Up my mind

Oh boy it's all the love that you're giving
They mad cause love is what they're missing
That's why they stay up in our business

Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart one more time
Oh no. No.
Did you think I’d still care
That there’d be more feeling there
Did you think you could walk back in my life
So you found you miss the love you threw away
Baby but you found it out too late. Too late.

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two.
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now
I learned from you

I remember cold nights
Tears I thought would never dry
How you shattered my world
With your goodbye (Your goodbye baby)
Would’ve sold my soul then
Just to have you back again
Now you’re the last thing on my mind
Now you say you're sorry and
You’ve changed your ways
Sorry but you changed your ways too late

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two.
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now
I learned from you

So when all you’ve got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you who said goodbye
Who said goodbye

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two.
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now
I learned from you

The day you held me in your arms
I still smell the scent of you
On my dress unbelievable
And you were so masculine
The way I felt your chest up next to mine
Felt you in my heart
And now I breathe your love

Chorus 1
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy
You're the one I love
No other man can faze me cuz
You're in my heart
I'm in your heart
Every minute day and hour
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that makes me smile
When everything gets crazy
You're the one I love
No other man can faze me cuz
You're in my heart
I'm in your heart
Every minute, daily

Chorus 2
Yes, Yes, Yes,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
(2 x)

The time you looked into my eyes
I felt like I was falling in love
And I was mesmerized
Cause it's something that you do baby
That makes me feel this way
I can't explain
My joy, my peace, my happiness
And you, you, you, you baby

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Bridge
You're the best
I ever ever knew
Can't nobody
Do me like you do
I put that all
On my last dime
Ain't no one else
Worth none of my time
Everything
About you I love
You were sent
From the skies above
You came here
To rescue me
And now I'm free
(2 x)

Remember when
It all began
We were all in love
Then came the friends
Telling you when your time for me
Was good enough
I constantly had to compete
With you crew and their schemes
Remembering
Back in the day I used to mean everything
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
Now tell me why
All of them nights
You had so much to go
When you said bye
Sometimes I tried, I tried
To make you choose
Now tell me how you can allow
You boys to control the time
We shared it was unfair
But now it's time for you to know
(Now if I told you)
That I'm moving on
(Boy what would you do)
Things just ain't the same
(We were supposed to)
Conquer everything, yeah
(Boy let me tell you)
You're got to make a change
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
(Do you rememebr)
The way you used to love
You would kiss and hug me
(I rememebr)
U haven't lately
(Do you remember)
All the things you gave me
Everywhere you'd take me
(Can't you see that)
I really really need you back
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)

I lost my heart
A long time ago
You made me feel
Like no one had before
Boy you made me love you
Then you walked out the door
See I will not rest
Until you say I'm forever yours

And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've gotta feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back

Don't care how long baby
It's not important to me
Don't care how far
Love's never too far for me oh no it ain't
I just might be crazy
When it comes to my heart
But I can not rest
Until the day we're no longer apart

And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've gotta feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

Nobody plays with my heart
U can't walk away from it all
U can run but your heart cannot hide
Cause it knows you belong in my life

And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've gotta feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

I'm tired of playing this game
And I won't play it no more
And I won't take it no more
Through with being your fool
And I won't do it no more
And I won't, I won't keep up this act
Not for one minute
I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna pull this curtain down

This time I won't play this game
I made a vow to make a change and
I bow out (I won't be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade and
I bow out (I won't be staying around baby)
I bow out

Can't go on with the show
You're just a stage I went through
Now you're just fading from view - yeah
Time for a change of scene
Guess I'll be taking my leave
I guess I won't, I won't stay in this play
Not for one minute
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make my exit now

(Chorus)

When you're left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you will realize
You should have learned to treat me right
And when this final act is finally through
Maybe you'll wish you'd been
The kind of man you should have been
Now watch me say goodbye and walk right out of your life

(Chorus x3)

I was born in Newark,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.

He wore hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Nip was in pig tails,
I know I loved him even then.

You know some disapproved it,
They even boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,

You know I was made to love him,
Built my world around him
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.

He's been my inspiration,
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave him through the years.

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly,
My life grew sweeter through the years.

I know that my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
That's why we made it through the years.

I was made to love him,
Worship and adore him,
Yes Say, Hey, hey, hey.

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end,
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!

My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was just a little thang
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.

If ocean tumbles,
And the whole world crumbles,
By his side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love him,
I was made to live for him say yeah!
Ah, I was made to love him,
Built my world all around him,
Say Hey, hey, hey.

I love my baby
Nip ain’t goin’ no where,
Say Hey, hey, hey.
Say Hay, hay, hay.
Hey, hey, hey

Oooh hey I love him uhahh
(Lauren: I Love him, I love him)
Y’all don’t know nothin’

Built my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey
(Lauren: Naa Naa!)

Ooooh!

Can’t cha’ tell y’all
Hey, hey, hey
Been my inspiration,
Showed my inspiration
Hey, hey, hey
