Best Of En Vogue

Did i hear you say that
You want another chance
You need another try
You're ready to reclaim your prize
So you want my love back
Why'd you let it slip away
Why'd you ever let me go
Your change of heart has come too late
Well the door is locked you can't get in
The game has changed you've been
Chorus:
Too gone, too long baby
To ever get back again
In my heart
Too gone, too long baby
You're too many tears too late
To ever get back to get back
In my arms
Been gone too gone too long

Verse 2:
Didn't you hear me say that
You'd be a fool to leave
You'd regret the road you chose
You'd come running right back to me
You had such a good love sugar
You never found in no one else
But what i knew all the time
You had to find out for yourself
But now you'll never know
That love again
You're on your own

(chorus) bridge:
Did you really think i'd take you back
Let you back in my life
Oh baby just like that
Someone new is loving me
Loving you is what used to be
Baby you're too late to win my heart again

(chorus)

What's it gonna be
Cuz i can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
Verse 1:
I often tell myself
That we could be more than just friends
I know you think that if we move to soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And i won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows

There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
(chorus)

Verse 2:
I often fantasize
The stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours
Like only lovers do
If i could wear your clothes
I'd pretend i was you and lose control

There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah

(chorus)

Bridge:
Running in and out my life has got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice
Somebody's got to choose
We can make it if we try for the sake of you and i
Together we can make it right

(chorus until fade)

Chorus
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise

Chorus

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo i can't stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what debbie t. is really trying to say
When you break it all down we're all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies

(shoo)
Verse 1
Many say
That i'm too young
To let you know just where i'm coming from.
But you will see
It's just a matter of time
My love surely make you mine

(1)
Well, i'm
Livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
With my man
People out there can understand

(2)
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real

Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why i'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.

Repeat (1)

Repeat (2) to a fade

Intro
When i had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know i sit around
With my head hanging down
And i wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If i would of known then
The things that i know now
I might not have lost the time i complain about

Chorus
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love evryday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Chorus

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Chorus

Ad lib:
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

Fade

I remember how it used to be you never were this nice
You can't fool me
Now you talkin'
Like you made a change
The more you talk
The more things sound the same

What makes you think
You can just walk back
Into her life
Without a good fight

I just sit back
And watch you make a fool of yourself
You're just wasting your time

Repeat chorus eight times:no, you're never gonna get it, never ever gonna get it, my lovin'

Now you promise me
The moon and the stars
Save your breath
You won't get very far

Gave you many chances
To make changes
The only thing you changed
Was love to hate

It doesn't matter what you do
Or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way

Maybe next time
You'll give your woman a little respect
Then you won't be hearing her say that-

Repeat chorus two times

Doesn't matter what you do
Or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way

Maybe next time
You'll give your woman a little respect
Then you won't be hearing her say that-
Chorus
