1. Wishful Thinking
Is wake up every morning and be happy
I mean
carefree
And all I wanna do
Is love my man and be sure that my family
Is okay and I wanna sing
The songs that I write in my head
On a stage
in a big place
And I wanna laugh
Until tears
fall down my face and my abs are aching
(Hook)
Is that too much to ask in life to have
Nothing but the sweetest days
Too much for one to have or is it wishful thinking
(Verse 2)
Oh I wanna send
My little brother Solomon to college with no problem
And how I
hope the children that I sponsor down in Chile
They get the money I send
And I wanna
fly to Paris once a year for a vacation with my husband
And how I hope the nations will stop fighting and find sweet peace
Somewhere
down deep
(Hook)
(Bridge)
I want my soul to fly free without a single worry
Fear or anxiety could it be possible for all I wish to have
(Hook)
2. 24 Hour Blue (Just One Of Those Days)
(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning feeling so bad
Out my window it was raining
Didn’t even feel like running
Didn’t feel like doing anything
And the phone wouldn’t stop ringing
No my head wouldn’t stop pounding
I feel so down I don’t know why
There’s something overwhelming me inside
(Hook-repeat)
Just one of those days
Just another day
It don’t go your way
And tomorrow can’t come soon enough for me
(Verse 2)
Gotta get up anyhow
I can’t afford to lose no hours
Got a deadline that I must meet
Every second matters to me
Hard to function feeling like this
But I got to keep on going
A minor hurdle to get over
I’ve got through things much darker and colder
(Bridge)
Why does it seem like the hours are much longer
Like the day just won’t be over tell me why
Why do they come
When you least expect them always
You can never predict those days
(Hook)
(Hook)
Why must I fit into your box
To make this relationship work
I am human not perfection
I can’t be your superwoman
(Verse 1)
Please tell me what you wanna do
Cause I can’t waste anymore time
It seems nothings good enough for you
Tryin’ please you drives me outta my mind
Who do you think I’m supposed to be
This flawless thing is how you picture me
But I can’t measure up to that and I won’t try
Cause I can only be me baby
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
You know I wanna be with you
But you ask for what I can’t give
I won’t compromise myself for you
For my own self I must live
All I can do is love you best I can
That don’t include changing who I am
And I know that I love you good so don’t think
That you should try to hold on to me
(Bridge)
There is only one me
Don’t paint an image of what you want me to be
That’s not what we need
I won’t be trapped into what your eyes want to see
(Verse 1)
Maybe I am foolishly in love with
Someone that is
Not exactly on the same page, that I am on
Well all my friends keep telling me stop
Walking round so blindly
But when he calls they’re not around
To ever remind me
(Hook – repeat)
Maybe this isn’t love, but if it isn’t love then really what is love
Maybe I don’t need to know what’s really love,
Cause when he’s around he got me feeling some kinda way
(Verse 2)
I guess I kind of notice he don’t, always act so kindly
But that doesn’t stop my hunger, hunger for his heart
Why should I listen to those, who think that I should move on
Maybe what they see as drama, I see more as art
(Hook)
(Bridge)
Can’t seem to get past how he makes me feel
May not be love but it feels so real
Can’t go with what they say must follow my heart,
But now is that even being true to me
Maybe I’m happy, truly content
Maybe this is as good as it gets
Do I have faith in my confidence
Or am I just thinking all hopelessly
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
As far back as I recall
You’ve played a major part
Inspired me to see my place in life
You give me reason to create
Everyday is brand new
There’s something you introduce
And you’ve touched me in those places
That no one but you can reach
(Hook)
You take me to this high
I feel like I can fly
The melodies you send me
The music of my heart
The music of my mind
The music of my soul the music in me
(Verse 2)
So here I am at this place
I’ve tried to get to all my life
Where I can give you all y love so much
Where many people we can touch
I won’t disappoint you
Show me the world I’ll go with you
No limitation to our journey
Please help me be all I can be
(Hook)
(Bridge)
I’ve been in love with you with all my life
Through everything it’s been just you and I
You know my true thoughts what is deep inside
You allow me to interpret them through you
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
Last night I cried tossed and turned
Woke up with dry eyes
My mind was racing, feet were pacing
Lord help me please tell me
What I have gotten into
Ran my three miles to clear my mind
It always helps me out, it’s my therapy
When I’m losing it which is usually
(Hook)
I’m on an emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain’t nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
But I can’t get off
This emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain’t nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
(Verse 2)
Yesterday I told myself I was gonna be okay
Gonna start a new day be truly happy
I was gonna take control of me
But eventually reality hit me
Mentally, physically, emotionally
And I opened my eyes and realized
That I was still being taken for a constant ride
(Bridge)
So tired of you making love to me
Then disappearing so suddenly up and down it goes
I’m tired of you pacifying me with promises you know
That you’ll never keep
Round and round it goes
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
I loved you just too much
You owned me emotions devoted completely
You had me I couldn’t see
No one else by myself
I remained through the pain
You were all that mattered
But now I know there’s better
(Hook)
So I walked away while it rained down my face
I turned away from the pain of hurting me
(Verse 2)
I gave you full control
My mind my body soul
Confusion delusions untruthful unfaithful
Weighed down my self-esteem
Never again will I give
My power to be me
And be free now I see
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
We used to sit over there
That was your favorite chair
But now I sit here alone
I can still smell your scent
So fresh in my head
Still feel you kiss me goodbye
I washed clothes today
Found some of your garments
Guess you forgot them when you left
Took out the trash as you would
And dined by myself
Guess I better get used to this
(Hook)
We used to sit over there
That was your favorite chair
But now I sit here alone
No use cryin’ bout it
I’ll have to do without it
And no I won’t sit by the phone
(Bridge)
Ooo it’s not like you did me right
I was just comfortable and used to you
Now I see I must first love me
And maybe Mr. Right will come strolling along
(Hook)
9. Affected
(Verse 1)
I feel you looking at me thinking that my happiness
Is just a front and I still want you like I id back then
You walk around this town like
You’re somebody’s king
But baby trust me there ain’t nothing that could
Make me hungry for you again
(Hook)
I’m not affected you’ve been rejected
Written off my heart
There is no debt here to be collected
I don’t want no part how many times do I have to say it
You used to be smart
I’m not affected you’ve been rejected
I don’t want no more
(Verse 2)
You used to walk and I got weak
I used to tremble for your speech
You used to get up in my head
When you crawled into my bed you had me thinking stupidly
Like you and I would someday be
But that’s just it baby I’m not affect by you baby
(Hook)
(Bridge)
You don’t make or break me baby
Maybe you just can’t tell I’m not under you spell
I’ve become immune to you
You used to running back but I won’t let you do that
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
When I wake up all I want is for him to take me away
To that incredible comfort zone inside that beautiful place
It’s where I need to release tension so that I can feel brand new
And reach that height that only one in this whole world can take me to
(Pre Hook)
All the time I want you baby, all the time I need you honey, all the time I gotta have you sugar
Because I’m addicted
All the time I want you baby, all the time I need you honey, all the time I gotta have you sugar
It belongs to me
(Hook – repeat)
I’m fanatically, addicted see, the way that he be loving me
It’s like a drug or some bad habit
Since it’s mine, I got to have it
(Verse 2)
Feels like, like I never had it right
Cause before this,
There was so much emotional pain, nothing positive to gain
But I’m loved, full and completely now
Not just a physical thang
But its something spiritual
(Pre Hook)
Vamp
I just gotta have it, I’m a fanatic (4X)
(Hook)
11. Ain't Nothing But Love
(Verse 1)
Shoulda known, when I looked into those eyes, I was going to be free
From the bondage of those who never loved me
And I shoulda known, when he simply touched my hand, he would understand
All of my wants and all of my needs
You were sent alone to love me
(Hook – repeat)
Ain’t nothing but love
And it’s getting sweeter and sweeter
Like heaven on earth
Won’t you just give me more and more
(Verse 2)
You love me baby, winter, spring, summer and fall
And it’s like I’m blinded
I see no one but you at all
Just the sound of your voice gives me
Chills up my spine and ooo it just thrills me when
You love me all night
Your lips speak to me in a language I never knew, but oh how
I understand your heart
When it feels the love from you
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
I’ll never hurt you
And you will never shed a tear for me
I know you’re tired of
Being in and out of love with nothing to show
Nowhere to go
But back to the same one only with a different face
But now you are in a different place
And if my words don’t comfort you
Time will surely prove
That I’ll do just what I say
(Hook)
I’ll only be good to you
Be like I should to you
Be everything to you bring you nothing but the good stuff
I’ll give you good love
I’ll only be good to you
Be like I should to you
Be everything to you
Said I’ll be good to you
Be like I should to you
Be everything to you said I’ll be good to you
Only be good to you
(Verse 2)
You say it’s too good to be
And I agree that’s the way it seems
Except for my instincts telling me something else
It’s not a rebound or playground
But something that’s real
I’ve got so much to give you
So don’t you dare hesitate to receive it
If my words don’t comfort you
Time will surely prove
That I’ll do what I say and more
(Hook)
(Bridge)
I’ll always be there when you fall
Never doubt my heart at all
It’s you that I’ve chosen you are my focus
And this ain’t no phony disguise
You can see if you look down deep
They’ll be nothing but good love
Good love coming from me
(Hook)
^^T O P^^
(Verse 1)
What a blessing
How you found me
How you conquered me
And you showed me showed me so much
Just how it should be
Sometimes I wake up when you’re sleeping
Just to watch you dream
I kiss you eyelids and tell you thank you
For this reality
(Hook)
You love me incredibly
From my head to the soles of my feet
You know you make me complete baby
And you love me outstandingly
Can’t contain it need a moment to breath
Keep on lving me baby
(Verse 2)
When you’re away from me I wait anxiously
Sometimes I barely sleep
Cause I’m just so used to you
Being wrapped up in you in between our sheets
I’m so exited for the future what we’re gonna be
I’ve got this glow everyone knows someone is loving me
(Hook)
(Bridge)
Oh you do something to me
When you look in my eyes
The very touch of your brings me to life
It’s the ultimate crazy stuff
Just amazing love
Keep it coming to me cause
(Hook)
(Verse 1)
The days are overwhelming
I swear I just can’t tell if I’m
Coming or going wish I was all knowing
Cause I wanna fly but what if I fall right on my face
But I can’t stop here I gotta face my fear
Or everyday before this was in vein
(Hook)
So I got to keep on going on
And I can’t stop for nothing
So I got to keep on going on and on and on
(Verse 2)
My anxiety is killing me
Sleepless nights I must defeat
Cause nothing’s really wrong
Guess it just took so long
For me to get to the place
I wanted to be
Now that I’m here I gotta face my fear
Or everyday before this was in vein
(Hook)
(Bridge)
I’ve gotta hold my head up high
Can’t settle for just a little bit of sky
Can’t be afraid to spread my wings and fly
I’ve gotta turn my dreams into life
(Hook)
