letra de Did I Hear You Say You Love Me
Aaah...
Did I hear you say you love me
Well baby I've got to know
‘Cause if you really really love me
You've got to do things to show
Don't give me the wrong impression
By showing me warm expressions
Put me in the right direction
With tender love and affection
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Did I hear you say you need me
Well baby tell me the truth
‘Cause if you really really need me
My sweetness here's what I'll do
Cut out all my crazy playing
‘Cause for your love I have been laying
Just tell me that is what you're saying
And I'll be yours without delaying
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Sounds so good
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you

Did I hear you say you want me
Now please don't give me no mess
‘Cause if you really really want me
You've got to give me your best
Put my love life right in the pocket
And dare someone to try to top it
And when you think I want to drop it
Just love me ‘til I beg don't stop it
‘Cause I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Baby, if you love me let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me let me hear you say
I love you
And if you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you

letra de All I Do
You made my soul a burning fire
You're getting to be my one desire
You're getting to be all that matters to me
And let me tell you girl
I hope and pray each day I live
A little more love I'll have to give
A little more love that's devoted and true
'Cause all I do is think about you

All I do
Oh baby
Is think about you
Think about you baby
All I do

Is think about you

Baby just suppose I should happen to cross your mind
And by some chance a boy like me you're really been trying to find
Well let me tell you girl
Think of how exciting it would be
If you should discover you feel like me
If you should discover this dream is for two
We'll I'm gonna tell you girl
I'd light a candle every day
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new

And pray that our love will forever be new

I'd rather keep thinking the way that I do

letra de Rocket Love
Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do

Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do-oo

I longed for you since I was born

A woman sensitive and warm

And that you were

With pride and strength no one would test

But yet have feminine finesse

And so much more

You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

A female Shakespeare of your time

With looks to blow Picasso's mind

You were the best

Your body moved with grace and song

Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms

Nevertheless, oh oh

You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Ooh you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da

Da Da Da, Da Da Da-aa

The passion burning in your heart

Would make hell's fire seem like a spark

Where did it go

Just why that you would overnight

Turn love to stone as cold as ice

I'll never know

But you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Baby you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Cold, too cold, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Oh, Oh, Oh, took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down into this cold, cold world

I would not do that to a dog

Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Ooh baby

Rocket love

letra de As if You Read My Mind
Close your eyes ‘til the morning

Close your eyes ‘til the early dew

Get inside what you've been missing

Are the very first words that I heard coming from you

Take a chance on the secret

That you hide for beneath your dreams

Use your wildest imagination

You just tell me what it is and I will make it be

As if you read my mind

As if you touched my soul

As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

Let's get high on the happy

With a toast to you and me

Love is here just for the giving

And between us we've got all the love we'll ever need

As if you read my mind

As if you touched my soul

As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind

As if you touched my soul

As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind

As if you touched my soul

As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind

As if you touched my soul

As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

Do Like YouVer letra 4:26

letra de Do Like You
[Keita] Show me how to do like you
[Aisha] If you say please
[Keita] Please

Since age one Keita knew he had the answer
And it was that someday he'd be a dancer
And with help from his sis
Surely that boy would not miss
From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood
Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping
You could hear the pitter patter of feet creeping
To where music would play
To his sister he would say
Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed

Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock

Once at school they put on a talent contest
To find out who could really boogy the best
But his mama said no
Keita's much too young to go
But his sister said please let him go so the world can see
When they saw him they said he must be crazy
Look at him he ain't nothing but a baby
But soon as he began
You knew the contest he would win
Because everyone in the audience began to cheer

Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it

[Aisha] Ooh, you done broke Mama's lamp
[Keita] Uh, uh
[Aisha] Yes you did
[Keita] No I didn't

letra de Cash in Your Face
You just could not know how long we tried
To see how this building looks inside
This must be a lucky day for me
Because the sign says there's a vacancy

Look I know you came a long way
But you made it just too late
So we had to give it to somebody else
Well I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago
And you told me that it was cool
I graduated from Howard U.
My job is paying good money too
And if you check on my resume
You'll find they all wanted me to stay

Well I can't take the time out
To check your credit card
‘Cause the computer just broke down today
Well I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview
But I know what you're gonna say
I know what your bottomline is

You might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want your kind living in here
Too-oo, Too-oo too bad,
Too-oo, too-oo too sad

Our first child is due here any day
That's why we're desperate for a place to stay
The location is so perfect too
So please try to do what you can do

Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed
And if you told me that I could have saved you alot of time
Well I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminate
But I know some excuse you'll find
Because your bottom line is

You might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want your kind living in here
Aye, you might be a great doctor
You might be a great lawyer
You might possess the key to the city
Or maybe a politician
You might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can...not cash in your face
We don't want your kind living in here

letra de Lately
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling

With no vivid reason here to find

Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging

'Round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume

With you say no special place to go

But when I ask will you be coming back soon

You don't know, never know

Well, I'm a man of many wishes

Hope my premonition misses

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry

'Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror

Very slowly picking me apart

Trying to tell myself I have no reason

With your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping

I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name

But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping

You just say nothing's changed

Well, I'm a man of many wishes

I hope my premonition misses

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry

'Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I'm a man of many wishes

I hope my premonition misses

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry

'Cause this time could mean goodbye

letra de Happy Birthday
You know it doesn't make much sense

There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offense

At a day in your celebration

'Cause we all know in our minds

That there ought to be a time

That we can set aside

To show just how much we love you

And I'm sure you would agree

What could fit more perfectly

Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

I just never understood

How a man who died for good

Could not have a day that would

Be set aside for his recognition

Because it should never be

Just because some cannot see

The dream as clear as he

that they should make it become an illusion

And we all know everything

That he stood for time will bring

For in peace our hearts will sing

Thanks to Martin Luther King

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Why has there never been a holiday

Where peace is celebrated

all throughout the world

The time is overdue

For people like me and you

Who know the way to truth

Is love and unity to all God's children

It should be a great event

And the whole day should be spent

In full remembrance

Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people

So let us all begin

We know that love can win

Let it out don't hold it in

Sing it loud as you can

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Ooh yeah

Happy birthday

We know the key to unity of all people

Is in the dream that you had so long ago

That lives in all of the hearts of people

That believe in unity

We'll make the dream become a reality

I know we will

Because our hearts tell us so
