Soul Provider

Baby, we've been in and out of love so many times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one
more good-bye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make it
But that's all we need if we just take it
CHORUS
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause I know what we got is worth
fighting for
And I know for sure, right or wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love
Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms
somehow I see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it
CHORUS
For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two have made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up
for each other
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause we know what we got is worth
fighting for
And we know for sure, right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

So now you're back
So you've had your fun
And now you're comin' 'round again
Sure baby I should let you in
So you can let me down again
Well it doesn't really matter what
you say or do
You can tell me that you love me
But I know it ain't true


CHORUS
Cuz you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands from the
heavens above
You wouldn't know love
No, you wouldn't know love


You say you've changed
Say you've done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No darlin' I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby you'd say anything to get back
into my heart
But when it comes to lovin', you don't
even know where to start


CHORUS


Did you think I'd believe anything
that you'd say
Let you come back to me
Baby there's just no way
Baby I've had enough
You wouldn't know love


CHORUS

with Suzie Benson


( Michael )
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say


( Suzie )
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind


CHORUS
( Michael&Suzie )
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on


We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself


CHORUS


BRIDGE
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong


CHORUS

I could hardly believe it
When i heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, i see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
Plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before i go

Chorus:
Tell me how am i suppose to live without you
Now that i've been lovin' you so long
How am i suppose to live without you
How am i suppose to carry on
When all that i've been livin' for is gone


I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can i blame you
When i build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
More than friends
And i don't wanna know the price i'm
Gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than i can take


Chorus:


(bridge)
And i don't wanna face the price i'm
Gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true

You're knockin' on my door
Say ya want me back again
Say ya wanna try once more
But a broken heart don't mend
Wasn't all that long ago
You swore that we were through
Don't know what you want from me
Don't know what I need from you
First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Just makes you wanna die
Ya feel you can't go on
Can't face another day
Until the hurt is gone
Love cuts you deep that way
I remember I gave my heart completely
I remember the lesson that you taught me
CHORUS
Love cuts deep, baby, love cuts deep
And it leaves a scar
Right across your heart
First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Love cuts you deep inside
I used to call your name
But you were never there
And now you came to me
Expecting me to care
I remember the words you once said to me
Like a knife, those words just cut right through me
CHORUS
You give your heart to somebody
You give your soul to someone
You love somebody, you love somebody
And they're gone, gone, gone
You gave your heart to somebody
You gave your soul to someone
You loved somebody, you loved somebody
And they're gone, gone
Somebody finally taught you
CHORUS
