If i could reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love i have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now i find
It's only in my dreams

That i can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if i could change the world

And if i could be king
Even for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule
In this kingdom we have made
'til then i'd be a fool
Wishing for the day

If i never feel you in my arms again
If i never feel your tender kiss again
If i never hear i love you now and then
Will i never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then i promise you, i promise you
That, that i shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That i shall never breathe again
Breathe again

And i can't stop thinkin' about
About the way things used to be
And i can't stop thinkin' about
About the love that you make to me
And i can't get you outta my head
How in the world will i begin
To let you walk right out my life
And blow my heart away

And i can't stop carin' about
About the apple of my eye
And i can't stop doin' without
Without the center of my life
And i can't get you outta my head
And i know i can't pretend
That i won't die if you decide
You won't see me again

Hook

And i can't stop thinkin' about
About the way my life would be
No i can't stop thinkin' about
How could your love be leavin' me
And i can't get you outta my mind
God knows how hard i tried
And if you walk right out my life
God knows i'd surely die

And i can't stop doin' without
Without the rhythm of my heart
No i can't stop doin' without
For i would surely fall apart
And i can't get you outta my mind
Cause i know i can't deny it
And i would die if you decide
You won't see me again

What must i say to you
To get inside your head
Why must you always think
I wanna get in your pants
And why i always gotta be
The closest thing to wrong
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need a woman to be strong

Well i ain't cryin', i ain't cryin'
Done 'bout run out of tears
But you're the closest thing to heaven
I need you to be near
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't make it more clear
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if i got you right here

Ooo girl, talk to me
You're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is i want you for my woman
Ooo girl, speak to me
Let me hear you sayin' that you're stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you
I ain't nothin' at all

Why does everything i say to you
Have to be suspect
Feel like the only way i'll get with you
Somethin' blows off my head
Well i ain't tryin' to go out like that
Wanna keep myself clean
Sometime the only thing a brother need
He need the strength from his queen

I ain't lyin', i ain't lyin'
Done 'bout run out of time
The only time i wanna do it right now
Is feel you by my side
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin'
I can't be more sincere
The only thing that's gonna get me through
Is if i got you right here

Hook

Well i said everything's gonna be alright
When you stand by my side
Gonna work things out tonight
We're gonna make out just fine
For once i'd like you to be
The one who has the faith in me
And i promise i won't let you down this time

Sometimes i feel so alone
I call your heart
But there's no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I'm reaching out
But there's no one inside

It doesn't feel right, when i look in your eyes
I know love is blind, but the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time, maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl what's deep in your heart

Girl i care 'bout you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like i care 'bout you

I spend like all of my days
Trying to cess out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But i swear right now i don't know what you want

I make sure that i give you quality time
But lately i feel you're not home by design
But still i'm gonna try, you're the love of my life
In hopes that you will open your heart

Hook

Sometimes i'm not sure
I'm all you've got
Sometimes i'm not sure if you love me or not
One thing i know
Girl i care for you
And the one thing that i want is that you care for me too

Spoken:
Girl you know we belong together
I don't have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby, you just see

We belong together
And you know that i'm right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say good-bye

When i can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time i try i just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh i'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around

Although we've come to the end of the road
Still i can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still i can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you

Girl, i know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time
Maybe i'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever
You and i

Can you love me again like you loved me before
This time i want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me down

Hook

Spoken:
Girl i'm here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby i knew about it, i just didn't care
You just don't understand how much i love you do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby but that's all right
Hey, i love you anyway
And i'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day baby
Right now, i'm just in so much pain baby
'cause you just won't come back to me
Will you? just come back to me

(lonely)
Yes baby my heart is lonely
(lonely)
My heart hurts baby
(lonely)
I'm feel pain too
Baby please

This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me down

There was a girl i used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life

Hook

I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh i wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right
