BROWN SUGAR
(D’ANGELO, ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD)

Let me tell you ‘bout this girl
Maybe I shouldn’t
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See we be makin’ love constantly
That’s why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy

The way that we kiss is unlike any other way that
I be kissin’ when I’m kissin’ what I’m missin’
Won’t you listen

Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don’t know how to behave

CHROUS

I want some of your Brown Sugar

Sugar(4 times)

Oohooh

Oh Sugar when you’re close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let hit it
Sweet like honey when it comes to me
Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai

Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don’t know how to behave

I want some of your Brown Sugar

Sugar(4 times)

Ooooh Ooh

Now that be how the story goes
Brown sugar got me open, now I want some more
Always down for a menage troi
But I think I’ma hit it solo
Hope my niggaz don’t mind

Stick out my tongue and I’m bout
ready to hit this pretty gritty
bitty with persistence
Yo, I don’t think ya’ll hear me
Brown Sugar babe
I gets high off your love
Don’t know how to behave

I want some of your Brown Sugar

Sugar

Ooooh Ooh

ALRIGHT
(D’ANGELO)

That’s Alright
We may have a misunderstanding.
That’s okay,
Because you’re my girl and I’m your man,
and that’s just fine.
Girl your touch still drives me wild.
We’ll be Alirght
Cause all we have to do is just talk for awhile.

And if we don’t see eye to eye,
At least we tried.
We been through too much
To let all the little things get in the middle of ….
So let us ease back—Relax
‘Cause everything’s gonna be Alright’.

CHORUS
Gonna be Alright…
…Be Alright
Gonna be Alright…
…Be Alright
Gonna be Alright…
…Be Alright
Alright

Baby Doll,
You don’t have to worry at all
Cause it’s Alright.
Girl we’ve climbed to high too fall.
So let’s talk about it.
And Baby if we disagree, then let’s forget about it
Cause in the end I’ll always love you and you’ll love me.

And if we don’t see eye to eye,
At least we tried.
We been through too much
To let all the little things get in middle of…
So let us ease back—Relax
‘Cause everything’s gonna be Alright’.

ME AND THOSE DREAMIN’ EYES OF MINE
(D’ANGELO)

1st VERSE
When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry
Then I’d dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become reality
Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh
Cause your’re the most precious thing
That my dreaming eyes has ever seen
So I’ll continue to dream
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

BRIDGE

Is it just that your’re the finest little thing
That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far
Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see
Something like me being with you, or you being with me

CHORUS

Ooh we…baby, you’ve redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

2nd VERSE
Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass I wondered if the men in her past have treated her bad
But if I had the chance, I’d treat her like a queen

Just like I do in all of my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I’m quite sure that you will find, I’m going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.

(D’ANGELO, LUTHER ARCHER)

1st VERSE
How do you retain your cool,
Seems your love breaks all the rules,
You may think I’m a pro,
But I can never seem to keep my control.
How can you stand to take things so slow.

Look at you, You’re so smooth,
When I’m around you, I can’t keep my cool

I’m so used to getting what I want
When I want it, and where I want it.

So inexperienced, Baby I’m delirious

When I’m around you, I can’t keep my cool

Repeat 2 times

When we get by, we’ll make it by, when we get by, with love
I look in your eyes, when I look in your eyes
I know what you’re thinking of
Tis a beautiful day, and you’re welcome to stay
We can spend some time and catch the matinee
You’re so fine, and the day is fine, and we’ll be fine
When we make it by and we get by with love

CHORUS

When we get by, we’ll make it by, when we get by with love

REPEAT

2nd VERSE
When we get by, we’ll make it by, when we get by, with love

You’re so fine, and the day is fine, and we’ll be fine
When we make it by and we get by with love

(D’ANGELO, RAFAEL SAADIQ)

CHORUS:
You’re my lady
You’re my lady
You’re my lady
You’re my lady

Don’t think I don’t see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh
A bunch of them are itchin’ for you to scratch ‘em
I’m tired of hiding what we feel
I’m trying to get with the real
And I’m-a gonna make it known
‘Cause I want them to know

CHORUS

You’re my little baby, my darlingv baby
I swear you’re the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what’s going down
Babe, I know they’ve seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store, or maybe at the health food stand
They don’t know that I’m your man

CHORUS

I can tell they’re looking at us
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot wants to rob me of my girl
And my heart and soul, and everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me
There’s no other lover for you or me
You’re my lady

BRIDGE(AD LIB)

You’re my lady
My divine lady
You’re my lady
Such a wonderful lady
I can tell they’re looking at us.

HIGHER
(D’ANGELO, LUTHER ARCHER, RODNEY ARCHER)

1st VERSE
Feels like heaven when I think about you
sparking that love within my soul
and when I touch U, I can’t describe it
sending chills, down to my bones

1st BRIDGE
With God as my witness and watching over
We’ll write our love in the stone
Please give us strength Lord to fight our battles
and we can walk on the streets of gold

CHORUS

Cause you take me higher, than I’ve ever, ever known
give me good feeling, like a king and queen on a throne
cause you take me higher, further than the sky above
send me in ecstasy baby, with your love

2nd VERSE
Tell me what you’re thinking of, must be thinking of love
put your hands into mine and then we’ll take off to the sky above
soft like an angel, like the feathers laying on a dove
touch me with your soul love, till I lose control

2nd BRIDGE

Just like an angel watching over me
(U protect me from my fears)
I once was blind, but now I see
(Ever since the day U appeared)
I just wanna say
I want U in my life
till the day I die baby

Look in my eyes.
tell me right now,
that U and your love
will 4-ever take me higher
