The One (2012)












Harriett Jones lyrics - Eric Benet

Would you listen Ms. Jones?
Let me please come home
Please girl

I was a fool, that’s plain to see
Cuz I had it all when you were with me
One little trip that brought my fall
And one little girl that started it all

When you were away I felt so all alone
I guess I was weak when I should’ve been strong
I got no right to be here on my knees
But my sweet Harriett Jones, still I’m beggin’ you please

Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home

I was doin’ so good with this monogamy
But see these pretty young girls, they won’t let me be
Since losing your love, I’m such a better man
And if you let me come home, I swear you’ll understand

Right now, I spend all my nights sittin’ here alone
Just drinkin’ this wine missing our happy home
To break it all down , I guess I’m tryin’ to say
Some people must lose it all til they appreciate

Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home

Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won’t you let me come home

You’re the love of my life
Been through so much together
Girl don’t you know that you’re my best friend
Give my love another try
‘Cause don’t you know the stormy weather
Can bring a brighter love in the end

Just let me come home
Let me come home baby
My Harriett Jones
Ooh let me come home girl

Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be
Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be

Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby I just want to come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby, don’t you know I’m trying to come home

Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be
Swing low, sweet Harriett
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be

Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be
Swing low, sweet Harriett
Pretty pretty girls won’t let me be

Swing it all back to me

News For You lyrics - Eric Benet

Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
You tell me love ain't been goin your way
Cause you've been searching, but good ones are hard to find
Said you won't settle for less than what your heart is asking
And life's too precious just to be wasting time.
Disappointment is something that is so familiar
You get your hopes up high, to watch them fall again
So you stopped trying to find your one in a million
And the language of your love, can't nobody comprehend.

[Chorus:]
I got news for you
Cause you don't know how I do
I got ways to make you smile
They never knew about
In the corners of your mind
That no one has tried to find
Your time for love is threw
I got news for you!
Uh, I got news for you, yeah baby!

Your body's glistening all with satisfaction
I've shown you pleasures, girl
You thought you never feel
Girl you were flying like the world was far below us
You said there's no way that I could take you higher still

[Chorus:]
I got news for you
I still got work to do
And you're thinking that I'm done
That's just when love just begun
In the corners of your mind
That no one has tried to find
Your time for love is threw
I got news for you!
Uh, I got news for you, yeah baby!

Don't you worry about me leaving, no, no, girl!
Ain't trying to be deceiving, no, no!
You said I feel good to be true
Baby I got news for you

[Chorus:]
I got news for you
Cause you don't know how I do
I got ways to make you smile
They never knew about
In the corners of your mind
That no one has tried to find
Your time for love is threw
I got news for you!
Uh, I got news for you, yeah baby!

Real Love lyrics - Eric Benet

Oh babe
Don’t you know you we got a real
Real love ooh

Precious, a word that comes to mind
When the morning comes and you’re asleep by my side
Cherish a word that could describe
How our love has stood the many tests of time in our lives
There's a whirlwind of changes this life may bring
But the real thing just holds on come what may

[Chorus:]
And we've got something real, real love, real love uuh
Real love,
In a world full of make believe
We got something real good, real love
Yes, real love, I bet everything on you and me

I love you not just for who you are
For the way you made a better man out of me
Now I try, I try, I swear baby every day I try
To live a life deserving of this joy
You give to me, oh to me
Now you got your funny ways girl
Lord knows I've got mine
But keep on getting better, better all the time

And we got some real love, real love uuh
Real love,
In a world where nothing’s what it seems
We got something real good, real love
Just standing strong for the whole word to see

Don’t ever question what my heart needs tomorrow
Girl I just want the same old love you gave me today
We got it for sure
Kind of love that knows that joy brings some sorrow
But we can’t go wrong if we just hold on
Ain't nothing strong..

[Chorus:]

[2x]
Don’t you know we got a real
Don’t you know we got a real love for sure
Don’t you know we got a real
Don’t you know we got a real love for sure

Runnin' lyrics - Eric Benet

Runnin used to be the way I pass my time
All over town just to see what I could find
Every now and then I find some company
But every kiss...
I try to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that lonely pain
No matter where I travel there I'd be stuck in those walls of skin call me

And I was just runnin' to find somethin true
And I just be runnin with nothing to prove
And I can't go runnin and nothing to show
They all saw me runnin and said there he go

You cut my eye one day when I was on a run
So how you make me feel my life had just begun
I've seen the last of all my roamin and days
'Cause I grew from you I've never run oh babe

Now you got me runnin to get home to you
And my heart keeps running when I think of things you do
And I full be runnin to the one else no one
They all see me runnin and say that love is for sure oh yeah
I'm not hesitating no and as soon as work is done yeah
As fast as my legs can carry me yeah
Mhmh yeah life ain't complicated oh no
When you got only one, one heart one joy
One place to be

And now I'm watching people runnin all around
Chasing after things I will just run them down
Life is so much better if they change their way
I wish I could tell them but you know I can't stand

'Cause I gotta get runnin and get home to you, gotta get home
And my heart keep runnin when I think of things you do,
Think about the things you do
And I won't be runnin, no one else, no one no more
And now see me runnin and say that's love for sure

I gotta get runnin and get home to you, gotta get home
And my heart keep runnin when I think of things you do,
And I won't be runnin, no one else, no one no more
And now see me runnin and say that's love for sure
And all see me running and say that's love for sure
They all see me runnin and say that's love for sure

Redbone Girl lyrics - Eric Benet (feat. Lil Wayne)

Young Weezy We and Eric B, aha
And I love all women (if you know what I mean)
Yes lord, I love them dark, I love them light
Short, tall, thick, thin and back one more again (alright)
But there’s this one particular situation I need to tell you all about

I met a honey about a week ago
I got a little but I need some more
I ain’t the only one to learn her curves
Matter of fact, forget what you heard
She’s all, she’s all that and more, oh yeah
Yes she is
Her reputation ain’t squeaky clean
A little gossip ain’t phasing me
So go ahead say what you want
You can give a damn, but I don’t
Cause I’m gone, I’m already gone
Yes I am
Don’t you know she’s

[Chorus]
She’s my, redbone girl
A bitter sweet, but she’s my world
Coffee cream, thick and lean
My redbone girl, redbone girl, yeah

Our baby hail from the Oakland Bay
Got an east coast vibe but a southern mind
A devil mind with an angel face
She’ll leave and make a nonbeliever pray
For a chance, just to get some something
Yes she will,
Uhh, you don’t know what you do to me
But you’re killing the girls in my history
I need a shot just to let her hit
She give me 2 when I need a fix
Lord knows I’ve tried, but I swear I can’t quit
Don’t you know she’s my

[Chorus]
She’s my, redbone girl
Redbone but she’s my world
Have you seen, my chocolate dream
My redbone girl, redbone girl
She’s my, redbone girl
A bitter sweet, but she’s my world
Coffee cream, thick and lean
My redbone girl, redbone girl, ooh

[Lil Wayne]
I like the long hair thick redbone
I do it so right, she say I’m dead wrong
And now she in love, like phase on
Now I’m in my zone, I got her head spinning, spinning like a cyclone
And it’s them red women at my red eye zone
I get at red, @red.com
I’m high and my girl high yella
Fine as wine, put her in a wine cellar
Roses are red, do you mind if I smell them
What can you do, Consuela, Consuela
I like them light skin, lighter than a feather
And if she red hot, I’m biting that pepper
Tighter than my leather pants, let them say
She the same color as my flag – suwoo

[Chorus]
She’s my, redbone girl
Redbone, she’s my world
Have you see, my milk chocolate dream
My redbone girl, redbone girl, yeah
She’s my, redbone girl,
A bitter sweet, but you know she’s my world
Coffee cream, thick and lean
Redbone girl, my redbone girl, yeah

Waitin' lyrics - Eric Benet

Whooo-oooh, yeah yeah!
O-oh, baby

Now, ever since the day I saw you,
There was one thing that I knew for sure
That you was gonna be my lady

Enoying that it wasn't me.
I knew I have to pick my battles
To gain my victory!

Just hoping to see, oh hoping
And that something you searched for
Was me!
(Something you searched for was me).

Before I even knew your name, ye-yeah
And it's funny how that do neglects you
While I got this flame, uuh
This burning flame.
Now, can't nobody see the future
I sure can't see my future without you,
It's so much love I can not wait to show you,

Only thing it's missing, need a queen.
I got a power breaker... spin on you
Just pack your shit gitl, and move on in!
I've waited for so long
Get praying to see you
Now, that someone you've searched for was me.

Get praying to see you
Now, that someone you've searched for was someone like me.

Hope That It's You lyrics - Eric Benet (feat. Shaggy)

Oh yeah yeah
Hey, I hope I hope I hope it's you

A long time I've been alone
The one love I had was thrown away
And that was a shame
I come home and there's no phone calls
The sunset is just the light gone off
With love I'm just lost
But then I saw your face and felt my odds improve
And so I had to brave your filthy magic too

So if I ever ever ever feel the light of love again
If wishes come true (if wishes come true)
I hope that it's you (I hope that it's you)
And if I ever ever ever get a chance to hold your hand (take your hand)
I'll be sayin' I do (I'll be sayin' I do)
As long as it's you (I hope that it's you)
I hope that it's

I gave up 'cause I've been through it
But you smiled girl and I heard music playing
I ain't been the same (I never been the same)
A long while but I learned some lessons
So this time you'll get the best in me (you're gonna get the best in me)
If this is supposed to be
They say the first time is the deepest love by far
But girl it's looking like the second time's the charm

So if I ever ever ever feel the light of love again (if I ever feel that light)
If wishes come true (if wishes come true)
I hope that it's you (I hope that it's you)
And if I ever ever ever get a chance to hold your hand (hold your hand)
I'll be sayin' I do (sayin' I do)
As long as it's you (I hope that it's you)
I hope that it's

You got me thinkin' 'bout the future and you know that's not like me
No matter where we go, you make me feel it's where I'm s'posed to be
If I only had a nickel every time I said I'm through
But all the money in the world don't mean a thing if I can't have you

So if I ever ever ever feel the light of love again (if I ever feel that love light)
I hope that it's you (I hope that it's you)
Please let it be you (please let it be you)
And if I ever ever ever get a chance to take your hand (one chance to take your hand)
Oh I'm sayin' I do (sayin' I do)
I hope that it's you (I hope that it's you)

You got me hopin', girl you got me hopin'
Let's take a chance love, tell me what you think you're gonna do
I hope that it's you (I hope it's you)
Girl here it is so let's make it official (come on)
I need to know now, tell me if you feel like I do
I hope that it's you

So if I ever ever ever feel the light of love again (oh I hope I feel that light)
I hope that it's you (I hope that it's you)
Please let it be you (please let it be you)
And if I ever ever ever get a chance to take your hand (one chance to take your hand)
Oh I'm sayin' I do (sayin' I do)

Gonna Be My Girl lyrics - Eric Benet

First time I ever saw you
Was in crowded caffe
I was starring at my future
Face to face.
You were like a loving memory,
Though we never met before
And you smiled, and my heart was yours forever more!
Of all the things I've known they came true
I've never been so sure in all my life,
I don't know how, no no
I don't know where, don't know where
I don't know what I'm gonna say
To make it all begin,
But I do know one thing, one thing
Sure as anything,
Sure love is still alive in this world
You gonna be my girl!
You gonna be, gonna be
You gonna be my girl.
I was going through soem changes
And I know I broke your heart
But I'm working on myself since we've been apart
Yes, girl...

Come Together lyrics - Eric Benet

I know the road of love lately has been a rocky one
It seems as though we can't see eye to eye
Girl we fight just a little too much
Love just a little bit too less
A little sexual healing might help us find our

(Baby can we come) Oh baby
(Baby let's come together)
(Baby can we come) Ooh
(Baby can we come at the same time)

With every grinding, perfect time
I'll hit that magic spot girl
(Take our time with each position)
(Take me, find that right connection girl)
You'll see that we don't need to jeopardize this love
I'm not just talking physical so come with me
And love will grow

(Baby can we come)
(Baby let's come together) My baby
(Baby can we come) Oh
(Baby can we come at the same time)

(Baby can we come) Oh yeah baby
(Baby let's come together)
(Baby can we come) Can we come, yeah yeah
(Baby can we come at the same time)

(Don't you wanna come now baby)
(Everything will be like it was) It was

(I don't wanna fight no more)
(So won't you dim the lights and close the door)
Just close the door, just go close the door

(Baby can we come)
(Baby let's come together) Oh yeah
(Baby can we come) My baby
(Baby can we come at the same time)

(Baby can we come) Baby won't you come with me
(Baby let's come together) Oh my baby
(Baby can we come)
(Baby can we come at the same time) Oh oh yeah baby

(Baby can we come)
(Baby let's come together) Won't ya just come with me
(Baby can we come) One more time for love
(Baby can we come at the same time)

(Baby can we come) Don't you know I love you girl, don't you know I love ya
(Baby let's come together) Won't ya come with me right now
(Baby can we come) Oh
(Baby can we come at the same time)

Muzik lyrics - Eric Benet (feat. India Benet)

When I'm all alone, I hear your voice still with me
I can't find my way, you're the one who helps me see
When the air is thin, I'm caving it, it's hard to breath
I just let you in so I can find that inner peace

In my darkest hour I run to you to ease my pain
I like laughter that keeps me from going insane
You fortify, lift me up so I'm feeling strong again
You're the reason why I'm still alive

You're just like music in my life
You take the wrong and make it right
You've saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life

You're the perfect song, the perfect time, time and time again
I can lean on you, trust in you more than any friend
When I'm looking back at my life, you never left my side
I can count on you to tell the truth though it hurts sometimes

You inspire me, never lie to me, you're never one to judge
If we share a day, I walk away feeling showered with love
Even when I don't, you're holding on, you never let me go
Unconditional, spiritual

You're just like music in my life
You feel just like my guiding light
And I've been lost so many times
You're just like music in my life

You're just like music in my life
You took my wrong and make it right
You've saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life

Like a perfect harmony, your love stays in tune with my heart
You're bringing out the best in me and nothing's gonna keep us apart

You're just like music in my life
You take the wrong and make it right (you made it right girl)
You've saved my world so many times (many, many, many times)
You're just like music in my life

You're just like music in my life
You take my wrong and make it right
You've saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life

You better believe it
In my life
I forget about my trouble, yeah
(I forget about my troubles) When I'm feeling down
(Forget about my troubles) When you came around
(I forget about my troubles) I just see your smile
(Forget about my troubles) When you stay a while
(I forget about my troubles) Just take my hand
(Forget about my troubles) And you understand
(I forget about my troubles) Everything is fine
(Forget about my troubles) When we spend some time

(I forget about my troubles) When I'm feeling down
(Forget about my troubles) Then you come around
(I forget about my troubles) I gotta see you smile
(Forget about my troubles) When you stay a while
(I forget about my troubles) I just take your hand
(Forget about my troubles) You know I understand
(I forget about my troubles) Everything is fine

Lay It Down lyrics - Eric Benet

I can tell you're feeling uninspired
I can see you lost most of your fire
I don't see the will or the desire
And I can't hold a hand that won't reach for me

I don't your struggles or your reasons
And I don't the names of all your demons
I'm just a friend who knows what you've been needing
So one to share your burden helps set you free

So come and lay it down
Oh you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down
Oh I'll help to find and ease
Just lay it down
Oh you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down

Baby everybody's trying to climb their mountain
Don't nobody know a way to go around it
If there's a road that's trouble-free, no one has found it
So don't ever feel like no one knows your suffering

Everybody has a load that they must carry
To go it alone is so unnecessary
Don't let your pride deny this love ain't good for sharing
'Cause I'm here for you and any healing that may bring

So come and lay it down
Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down
Come lay it, I'll help to find and ease
Just lay it down
Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down

Someday when this pain is over
The light at the end I see
Oh one day you will need a shoulder
Come lay all your burdens on me
Just lay it down, just lay it down

So come and lay it down
Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Just lay it down
Come lay it, I'll help to find and ease
Just lay it down
Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down
Lay your burdens all on me

Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Just lay it down
Come lay it, I'll help to find and ease
Come lay it down
Come lay it, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down
It's gonna be alright
We gonna work it out, yeah

Here In My Arms (Lucia's Lullaby) lyrics - Eric Benet

Gently this world spins beneath mother's son
So sweetly she sets out of sight
Hush now my darling for our day is done
One kiss and I'll tell you goodnight

The moon up above, such a marvel to see
The stars cover heavenly skies
But none could compare as you drift off to sleep
To the glow from the light of your smile

Heaven and earth full of wonders to see
The greatest of all is right here with me
Of all of the loves I have known near and far
The best is right here in my arms

Whispers of night are the angels at play
Watching over the treasure of you
You took your first breath and you took mine away
Now the light of my life found in you

Heaven and earth have such wonders to see
The greatest of all is right here with me

There was a dream, I once wished on a star
But now you're right here in my arms
And now you're right here in my arms
Yes now you're right here in my arms

Come Home To Me lyrics - Eric Benet (feat. Jewel Anguay)

[Eric Benét:]
Girl I'm trying hard just to understand
Where did I go wrong & I been I'm a good man
You could say your wish & I make it come true
It's not a damn thing i wouldn't do for you
I think you how much this is killing me
But i love you enough to set you free
Go ahead baby. Find yourself
But just do my heart a favour girl. Don't Find nobody else.

When you walk the world the whole way around
And the best you had you already found
And your heart had enough of breaking down
And darling you'll know where I'll be
Come home to me [x2]

[Jewel Anguay:]
I'm not saying your not the one for me
It's just something inside I've been questioning
Cos every woman has to go and find her own path
And if our love was true like we always knew then I'll be coming back

When I walked the world the whole way around
And the best I've had I've already found
When the heart has had enough of breaking down

[Eric Benét:]
And darling you'll know where I'll be
Come home to me [x2]

Now while your on your way think of how this all began
Before lovers we were friends
That's no ordinary thing

[Jewel Anguay:]
I'm gonna put my trust in love
So love put your trust in you

When I walked the world the whole way around
And the best I've had I've already found
When the heart has had enough of breaking down

[Eric Benét:]
My darling you'll know where I'll be

[Jewel Anguay:]
When I walked the world the whole way around

[Eric Benét:]
And the very best you've had you've already found

[Jewel Anguay:]
When the heart has had enough of breaking down

[Eric Benét:]
My darling you'll know where I'll be
Come home to me

[Jewel Anguay:]
I'm coming home

[Eric Benét:]
Come home to me

[Jewel Anguay:]
I'm com in on home

[Eric Benét:]
Come on back home

Almost Paradise lyrics - Eric Benet (duet with Ailee)

I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close
I fall in love again

I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone

Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you

Oh, almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes,
Paradise

It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must have read my mind

And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true

I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands

Whoa, almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes,
Paradise

Baby in your arms
Salvation's not so far away
It's getting closer
Closer every day...

Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes,
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise

Can't Stop lyrics - Eric Benet

I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
I can't stop thinking about (I swear I can't)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you

Could be that I've been caught off guard
I've seen too much and gone too far
For you to, to control of me
So easily, yes, [?]
I watch you dance across my mind
That's lately how I spend my time
I'm through, I've only known you
Two or three dates girl, but
No matter how hard I try

I can't stop thinking about (no no, babe)
I can't stop thinking about (sing like a king)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
I can't stop thinking about (I try)
I can't stop thinking about (I try but I just can't seem to)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you

I'm never one to lose control
But now I'm just insatiable
'Cause of you girl
What the hell you do to me
Last night, that ain't right
I smell you on my fingertips
I taste you when I lick my lips all day babe
Been dreaming 'bout whatever you gave me
I can't get you out of my heart

I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about (I know that I just can't)
I can't stop thinking about (oh, it's some kind of crazy thing)
I can't stop thinking 'bout you (I, said I)
I can't stop thinking about (I can't, I can't help it now)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about (no, no, no, no)
I can't stop thinking 'bout you

Don't wake me
I'm dreaming
It's over
Here comes another one
You're smiling
I'm sweating
Our bodies
Are wrapped around each other
I hear music
I see colors
I can't help it
I close my eyes and there you are
So sweetly
I'm drowning
But don't save me
I just can't help the way that I...

I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about (my baby)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you (I just can't, no no )
I can't stop thinking about (I love the way you make me feel baby)
I can't stop thinking about (I love the way you make me feel girl)
I can't stop thinking about (it's so good, it's so good)
I can't stop thinking 'bout you (it's, oh, don't you ever get out my mind baby)
I can't stop thinking about (my mind baby)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you (the way you walk in the room babe)
I can't stop thinking about (I love it)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking 'bout you

Your love remains
[?]
So hypnotizing, yeah, yeah
Just can't, no
Just can't, no

Christmas Without You lyrics - Eric Benet (feat. Faith Evans)

Oh baby,
Oh baby
I'm missing you baby, oh

Sleigh bells are ringing somewhere in the distance
And I wonder just where you are
This fire side used to burn and glisten yeah
But it feels so cold when you're far, yes it does girl

I'm standing under the mistletoe
Remembering how you kissed me, oh baby
The gifts are under the tree but I know, I know
There's nothing there that I need
Uh nothing baby

I'm making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
(Cause it don't feel like Christmas)
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there's no sound
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you

I pray the angels watch over you, yeah, yes baby
Until you're back in my arms, uh, come on home
Said, I don't need no miracles, no, no
I just need you baby
And to be wherever you are, oh yeah

We got forever to celebrate,
And fill our lives with good cheer, yes we do baby
I'd fly with Santa Clause cause I just can't wait, no no
I'd do anything, I'd go anywhere,
To have you near, yeah

I'm making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
No it don't feel like Christmas
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there's no sound
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
It don't, it don't, it don't

I'm reaching out across this winter wonderland
Knowing you're reaching for me, yeah, yeah
Those Christmas lights will shine twice as brightly
Even though we're not together tonight, it's alright!

I'm making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
No it don't, it don't, it don't
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there's no sound
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
(Baby, it don't feel like Christmas)

I'm making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you
(It don't feel, it don't feel, it don't feel)
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there's no sound
Cause it don't feel like Christmas time without you.

Sleigh bells are ringing somewhere in the distance
And I wonder just where you are
Just wondering where you are, oh....

Lady lyrics - Eric Benet

I know it's late but I need to say
What's on my heart today
It won't take long to tell you
I've grown so much since you've been with me
I'm not who I used to be
And I'll use this life to thank you

And God only knows my worth
I don't deserve His gift to me
This love unconditional
Was so far away, but He's given me

Lady, you're all that I want
You're all that I need
Let's spend each day together
Lady, you're all that I want
You're all I can see
Let's share this love forever

Been such a fool in my younger days
In life, what a mess I've made
Somehow you saw right through me
You gave me hope that I thought was gone
You were right all alone
I'm more than I dreamed I could be

And when we are old and gray
I'll see love when you're in view
Of all the prayers I've prayed
The best was you
Yes, the best was you

Lady, you're all that I want
You're all that I need
Let's spend each day together
Lady, you're all that I want
You're all I can see
Let's share this love forever

Of all of the prayers I've prayed
The best was you, yes, they best was you

Lady, you're all that I want
You're all that I need
Let's spend each day together
Lady, you're all that I want
You're all I can see
Let's share this love forever
Lady, open your own love
You're all that I want
You're all that I want
Lady, let's spread this love forever
Forever, baby
Forever, baby
Lady
Lady

Out Of Reach lyrics - Eric Benet

Picture a scene
Two lovers lost in a kiss
Nothing in the world could ever come between
But pictures must fade
Promises that we once made
Were they only make believe
Dreams that could never be

No ones to blame
I can't feel love, only pain
It's only right that we should pay for our mistakes
I'm trying to hold
Onto what was beautiful
But all I see is a void where you used to be
Used to be, oh

I know once upon a time we were in love
But I can't feel it anymore
I know we could never go back to the way we were
We will both learn to move on
I can't stand the thought of losing you
And seeing you fall in love
With someone else that hurts the most
I wish I could touch you but you're
Out of reach

You love again
He give you all that I can't
And he whispers that he'll never go away
I try to make sense
Was it a single event
Or did time wear out our plans like giants made of clay
Made of clay, oh

I know once upon a time we were in love
But I can't feel it anymore
I know we could never go back to the way we were
We will both learn to move on
I can't stand the thought of losing you
And seeing you fall in love
With someone else that hurts the most
I wish I could touch you but
You're out of reach

Bittersweet
The taste of memories
Yet I can't help that, I'm yearning for those days, oh
The past is gone
But before I can move on
Why couldn't we get out of our own way
Our own way

I know once upon a time we were in love
But I can't feel it anymore
I know we could never go back to the way we were
We will both learn to move on
I can't stand the thought of losing you
And seeing you fall in love
With someone else, oh baby
I wish I could touch you but you're
Out of reach

We Could Have Been lyrics - Eric Benet

Tell me who's to blame
I thought that we were on our way
I never dreamed in all my life
That love could feel that way
Did we move too slow or was it just too son?
But there I go
Looking back once more
Like a fool I still imagine
What we could have been
Could it be we had a chance,
If we just tried again?
It's the hardest thing to face
It's like never knowing how the story ever ends
And I'll never know just what we could have been

So I'll just say it's meant to be
And this is fate and destiny
But tell me how do I explain,
This empty part in me?
Though I rate these words
I know I'll carry on
But I love you still
Probably always will
Nothing could ever be so beautiful
As we could have been
If only love had let you back into my arms again
It's the hardest thing to know
That I will never love again like we did then
And to never know just what we could have been

There may be another chance
In some other space or time
Some other circumstance
But would it feel the same?
Oh how wonderful this world would be
To face it with you here with me
Only heaven knows, maybe there we'll see
Oh, what we could have been
Could it be there was a chance,
If we just tried again?
It's the hardest thing
It's like never knowing how the story's going to end
And we'll never know just what we, oh, what we could have been, baby
Oh, if love could have led back to my arms again
It's the hardest thing to know
That I will never love again like we did then
Oh no, never again
And to never know just what we could have been
Oh...

White Christmas lyrics - Timi Dakolo & Eric Benét

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
So bright
And may all your Christmases
And may all your Christmases
And may all your Christmases
Be white

I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming too
Where the treetops glisten and children listen

Hey Tim, Merry Christmas, my friend

"Lost In Time" (2010)

Never Want To Live Without You Lyrics – Eric Benet

I know to have a heart that love couldn't find
I used to come and go no matter what I left behind
But now somehow I'm grown to see the world through brand new eyes
A better world that you showed to me
When you were gone
Felt like the stars were pointless to shine
And my days dragged on
Without a cause or reason to find babe
I'm on my own
I'm just a lonely waste of time
That should be spent with you faithfully

[Chorus]
So I never wanna live without you
Never gonna live without you
I never wanna live without you
Never wanna live
Cause you're the biggest part of my life
All of my world is built around you

Never make it through without you
All the love you bring to me

I was blind
Such a fool but now I see
Just hold my hand
Wherever we are it's all me
And now the second chance to start a life and family
I thank the Lord and you for this gift to me

[Chorus]

Thank you for the love
When you knew I was wrong
Thank you for the chance
To run back to your arms
Where I belong
I don't need to see
What is there on the other side
Cause you are my love
My life
Until the day I die

[Chorus]

Feel Good Lyrics – Eric Benet (feat. Faith Evans)

Just make me feel so good
Like this yo, like this, oh yeah, feels good
It feels good, oh
That girl I'd like to know
Exactly what you're feeling
See I don't like lose control
Of this is crazy world I'm feeling
... feels when you're not here

I try to... I don't see a reason why
You just make me feel good
I feel good
I command the words that you don't even trust

... my single line, you see
It's my... decision
But I feel you, what you wanna talk
I said kissing what I'm missing

Let's sing it... how
... decision, I feel good, I can't get you off my mind

I feel good,.. girl I feel good [2x]
... cause you don't even try hard
I feel good,
I can't get you off my mind

I can make you, make you feel so good
I can make you, make you feel so good, baby, baby
I can make you feel so good, so good, ooo,
I can make you feel so good, make it,
I can make you feel so good, baby.
Cause you just make me feel good.

Sometimes I Cry Lyrics – Eric Benet

[Verse 1]
Two years since you walked away from me
Since all of our scattered dreams
Were just thrown away
I'm finally gettin back to what I used to be
Share my pain with my family
Think I'm on my way

I can sleep at night,
I don't reach for you when I wake up
But it's taken some time
I can live my life
Without praying that we could make up
I'm movin on, I'm feeling strong inside

[Chorus 1]
But sometimes I cry, babe
When I'm all alone
With this heart of mine
Sometimes I cry, babe
Although you've been gone
For a long, long time

[Verse 2]
Heard you're moving in with someone new
I hope all your dreams come true
And you'll both be happy, yeah

Been long enough for me to take a look around
I've met a girl, we've been hangin out
She's been good for me

But when we're makin love
She don't take me there like you used to
And it hurts when I lie (when I lie baby)
Help me understand how to push you out,
Forget you and let you go,
Cuz Lord knows I've tried, yeah

[Chorus 2]
But sometimes I cry, babe
Been at all that hurtin
For a long, long time (yes, I have babe)
Sometimes I cry, babe
Ain't nothin workin
For this pain of mine

[Bridge]
I'll just have to fake it
Until I can make it
There's a smile on my face, yeah
But I'm broken inside

Always A Reason Lyrics – Eric Benet

What's the use of trying?
It never seems to work
The love just doesn't love you
Is the lesson you've learned.
You've mended broken pieces,
At least dozen times,
To take another chance now,
You see no reason why.

[Chorus:]
But there's always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.

I'm praying your existence, and something that will pass,
Like when you said our first kiss, will surely be our last.
Girl, I understand you,
More than you believe,
Like you my heart was broken,
But you helped me to see...

[Chorus:]
That is always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.

Is a lifetime of tears we can both leave behind?
Cause in so many ways we've been broken inside.
All the questions you ask, we'll find answers together in time.
All we need is to believe that...

[Chorus:]
There's always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.
Always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before the light comes.
Before the light!

Take It Lyrics – Eric Benet (feat. Chrisette Michele)

Girl it's time I confess that my mind's been a mess, since I met you lady
You got a vibe on your... sex appeal overlord, it's kinda special baby
I wanna give you all I got, I be lying to say I not, I've been intimidated
You're doing more than the most, living high coast to coast
I'm still trying to make it, yeah

I don't really need a man scared to take control, I'm scared baby
He gotta just tell me how it's gonna be, how it's gonna be
If you can't step up boy, you better just step out
Cause if you want what's real, you gotta come for real
I don't know what I need to do but I sure wanna get with you
Come and take it if you want it, I really really wanna take it
Strong and tender, finest hair, gotta have you for myself
Come and take it if you want it

Oh you'll be so surprised that many men just pass me by
They think I'm spoken for
Or at times my success makes them feel less about themselves
So they want out my door
As you can tell I'm a queen, nobody needs to rescue me
So don't get me wrong, no
But if you're down for a try, if you can stimulate my mind, give the girl a call

I don't really need a man scared to take control, I'm scared baby
He gotta just tell me how it's gonna be, how it's gonna be
If you can't step up boy, you better just step out
Cause if you want what's real, you gotta come for real
I don't know if you feel it, but I'm surely thigging you
Come and take it If you want it, all I need to hear baby
And I don't know if I'm out of line, but do I need to make your mind
Come and take it if you want it,
I don't know what I need to do, but I'm trying to get with you
Come and take it if you want it, I'm tryin I'm tryin to come and get
Strong and tender, finest hair, gotta have you for myself
Come and take it if you want it, yeah babe

I've been watching every move you make and gain you fave
Gain my place, I've been hanging on all the words you say to get you babe
You wanna get it baby? I don't wanna have to wait no more to make that call
I'm coming over girl, let me take it girl, all night long
It's that how you feel, I've been watching every move you make and gain you place
I got this real
I'm hanging onto every word you say to get you babe
I don't wanna have to wait no more to make that call
That's how you feel
I'm coming over girl, let me take it girl, all night long
I ain't looking for a man scared to take control, I'm scared baby
He gotta just tell me how it's gonna be, how it's gonna be
I'm a tell you girl
If you can't step up boy, you better just step out
I know what you need baby
Cause if you want what's real, you gotta come for real
I don't know if you feel it, but I'm surely thigging you
Come and take it If you want it, all I need to hear baby
And I don't know if I'm out of line, but do I need to make your mind
Come and take it if you want it,
I don't know what I need to do, but I'm trying to get with you
Come and take it if you want it, come on and take it
Strong and tender, finest hair, gotta have you for myself
Come and take it if you want it, yeah babe

Are you thinking what I mean?
I really do
Get on the point man
I see you think that you can just come and take it
You're the queen, I know what you need.
Do you mean that?
You know what I mean, I got what you need, yes I do
You can try to be my babe, come on take it, take it babe
You just know I'm a quest
Do you know I'm a queen?
I said do you know I'm a queen?

Stir It Up Lyrics – Eric Benet

To feel good
We were switching,
We were switching up some time, babe.
Hey, oh!
Hey, I got a stupid hot girl,
Hey oh, oh!

It's feeling like it's been too long since we had a good time,
We've been talking about what's wrong,
Stir up what's been going right,
Every day the same all same,
Girl we need to stir it up!
Yeah!
I think it's time we had a change,
A little switch in luck.
And maybe we could find a spot or two for me and you!
Just you and me!
There ain't no problems on the dancing floor,
So let's hit the door!
That's all we need!
Girl you know I love to see you smile,
It drives me wild!
I know what you like, boy!
Life is only for the living,
So let's live it tonight!

[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Mix it up, girl!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Start stir it up as the night comes!

I think I know what's on down town,
We've never been before.
And when it starts to winding down,
Hit it after set it for!
And maybe we could take a carriage ride
Underneath the city lights,
And girl we've been doing some in Rome,
Let's find a way and do it all right!
I propose a toast or two, for me and you!
It should glide us both.
For always making a little time for fun,
In the years that come.
Keep it... yeah!
Girl, we've got to switch it up some time,
To make it right,
If I'm gonna be the only one for the rest of your life.
Yeah!

[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
Stir it up, baby!
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Mix it up, girl!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Start stirring it up as the night goes on!
Start stirring it up,
So we could see what's going down!
See what's going down!
Start living it up,
A little bit and take a look around!
Start shaking it up
And maybe we could find a spot or two!
Shake it, baby!
Start stirring it for the night is true!

When you get close to me,
I feel like picking a night of love!
When you get close to me,
Stir it up, baby!

[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
At me!
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Scenery!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Too long!
Start stirring it up as the night goes on!
So we could see what's going down!
See what's going down!
Start living it up,
A little bit and take a look around!
Start shaking it up
And maybe we could find a spot or two!
Shake it, baby!
Start stirring it up fort the night is true!

When you get close to me,
I feel like picking a night of love!
When you get close to me,
Stir it up, baby!

Summer Love Lyrics – Eric Benet (feat. India Benet)

Yeah, take me back
I wanna go back there
Mmmmmm yeah

[Verse 1]
Summer lovin, I remember falling once upon my history
Sun was shinin, you were in a hurry but nowhere that ya had to be
Some conversation for a while until we felt the magic grow (ooohh)
Thats when my summer came alive but seasons come and seasons go (ooohh)
Tender kisses underneath the moonlight softly on your brown skin
Makin wishes, plans to spend our whole life knowing that this time would end
And like the temperature outside our feelings and emotions rose
I dreamed id take you as my bride but soon the autumn winds would blow (ooowoo)

[Chorus]
My summer love (oooohooohoooo)
I'm searchin for you (ooohooohoo)
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true (mmm yeah)

[Verse 2]
I remember walkin on the boardwalk beaming from just holdin hands
We were runnin in between the raindrops, innocence that couldn't last
I close my eyes when I'm alone and travel back to way back then (yes I do)
And like no other lover known, you make me feel alive again

[Chorus]
My summer love (ooohooohooo)
I'm searchin for you (ooohoohoo)
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true
My summer love (ooohooohoo)
I'm lost without you (ooohoohoo)
So many years have past between us
I'm still your love fool

[Bridge 1]
Take me away from this life
To places where you end up mine
Can we go back to the best time of our lives

[Chorus]
My summer love (ooohoohoooo)
Girl, I still love you (yes I do)
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true (I'll be true just for you)
My summer love (ooohooohooo)
I'm lost without you (oh I'm lost baby)
So many years have past between us
I'm still your love fool (woooo yea)

[Outro - India Benet]
Summer lovin, wish we could've made it last
Summer lovin, would you please come back to me again [2x]

Lost In Time Lyrics – Eric Benet

There's a knock outside my door
It's you again!
There's a kiss that let's me know,
This love won't end.
There's a life, there's a touch and a smile
And we're making love,
And all is perfect in my lonely world again.
As we lay we make a plan for life together,
Holding on with all the might full worst or better,
I can't believe,
I can't conceive all the time that you're not with me,
But in a flash I'm in this lonely room again.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I don't wanna stay here lost without you!

There's a house upon the hill I hear the laughter,
And our children seem to grow each year much faster,
We're alone now in this emptiness and love still grows,
But only visions of a life that should have been.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I don't wanna stay here lost without you!

You are, the only one I'm holding down for always,
My heart, in the time of light, shinning bright in your...
So far,
I can't let go, I won't let go,
And that's why,
I will face reality till it brings you back to me.

[Chorus: x3]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I don't wanna stay here lost without you!

"Love & Life" (2008)

Love, Patience & Time Lyrics – Eric Benet

I believe in the power inside of my heart
God is the source from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great and no cause is too small
This infinite love is inside of us all

My buddy Greg, he lost his leg serving time in the desert
He'd sit and drink and think of things he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile, but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon, second year in a row

Oh, there's a storm that you're gon' have to ride in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves when you're lost in your life
Just hold on and you'll go with the tide

With love, patience and time
And it won't take long and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience and time
That power is strong in your heart and mind

I knew a girl, a pretty girl, but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy left her out in the cold
What daddy did she must forgive before her heart grows colder
And all the love she's dreaming of, maybe then she will know

Yeah, we've got stories and people to blame for our lives
No, don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie?
The only way is to leave the past behind

With love, patience and time
And it won't take long and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience and time
That power is strong in your heart and mind

Love, patience and time
And it won't be long till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience and time
That power is strong in your heart and mind

There's so much more inside you and me
That the world needs to still believe
Nothing's too great for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright

Grab a gun everyone, said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change the will of the other side
Some people swear that blood and fear
Is gonna bring the world together
I believe that all we need is love, patience and time

Love, patience and time
And it won't take long and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience and time
That power is strong in your heart and mind

Love, patience and time
And it won't be long till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience and time
That power is strong in your heart and mind

Love, patience and time
Love, patience and time

Hunger Lyrics – Eric Benet

You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
Are you still?
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering

Now the first kiss was the one that let me see
Just how deep you're into me
Surprised by your intensity
I couldn't believe

Now the next kiss happened seven days ago
That's when I started letting go
Dropped my guard and let you know
I was ready for more, oh I

Oh, that's when I took you home
And I wasn't quite ready for how you came
Words can't explain pleasures
We've explored, oh I

Oh, we've been making love six nights strong
And I can't believe just how long you can go
I'm ready for more of the hunger in your soul, oh I

Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me
It's amazing that I'm loving that
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
We keep rising like we're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trying to make you stop because
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering

Now the first time was amazing like I said
Like nothing I've seen, done, or read
Colors and music played in my head
I wasn't prepared

Now the next time happened when I finally caught my breath
I saw the sweat drip off your chest
Girl, you inspire my very best
And I gave nothing less and it seems

With every conversation in between
I get a little more attracted
When you open up your mind, girl
I find your perception of the world coincides with mine

And I try to let the fever in me subside
But every time I see that little look in your eye
I come back to life
And I rise, I rise, I rise, oh

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body calling because
You're still wanting me and you're still hungering
From a hundred miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves upon your ocean because
You're still wanting me and you're still hungering

Did you know that you smile when you're asleep?
Is it there all the time or only when you're with me?
When the morning sun shines on your face
Let me be the first breath you take, I wanna be

Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me
It's amazing that I'm loving that
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
We keep rising like we're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trying to make you stop because
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body calling because
You're still wanting me and you're still hungering
From a hundred miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves upon your ocean because
You're still wanting me and you're still hungering

Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me
It's amazing that I'm loving that
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
We keep rising like we're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trying to make you stop because
You're still wanting me, you're still hungering

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body calling because
You're still wanting me and you're still hungering
From a hundred miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves upon your ocean

You're The Only One Lyrics – Eric Benet

Oooh yeah

I'm going back to the day we partied
and all the ways you were broken hearted
I take a trip everyday in my mind.

I see your face I recall it few words
It's playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eyes
If I knew what I know
I'd walk back in time
I would right every wrong ooh
I would change every line
Then you'd be here right now
Just like yesterday
But you'd feel no more doubt
when you hear me say

[Chorus]
You're the only one I want
You're the only one yeah
You're the ony one I need in my life (in my life baby)
You're the only one I love (I love love love you)
You're the only one I need in my life oooh yeah

I see the world through a haze of memories
and other girls don't mean a damn thing to me
No No
It's kind of sad how they just don't compare (don't compare uuuum)
Time will tell let's wait and see
If the love we have was meant to be
Cause I know we got a future out there
Cause you're still my girl
I don't care what they say
Let's go back to our world
Baby don't you throw this love away
Cause I still believe
in the magic of us
It's just a matter of time and
It's a matter of trust

[Chorus]
You're the only I want
You're the only one I need in my life yeah yeah
You're the only one I love,
(You're the only one the only one)
You're the only one I need in my life
I don't need no body else

Now girl it took some time
To get real with myself
Now love ain't easy sometimes
But when you find let's
Stay to-get-her

[Chorus]
You're the only one I want
(You're the one, you're the one)
You're the only one I need in my life yeah yeah
You're the only one I love
what's it gonna be baby ...what's it gonna be baby
You're the only one I need in my life ooooo
You're the only one I want
you're the only, only only one
You're the only one I need in my life
Nobody but you baby ,Nobody but you baby
You're the only one I love oooh oooh
You're the only one I need in my life
I need you love you want you baby
You're the only want I want oooo
You're the only one I need in my life
Don't you know don't you know I love you girl
You're the only one I love...yeah I need you baby
I need you

Don't Let Go Lyrics – Eric Benet

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up now
Feels good, feels good, yeah

Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool
I hear the bells, but they don't ring the way they used to
It looks like breaking up is our next obvious move
But let's not move too soon, oh no

See the problem going 'round too often these days
People throwing in the towel once they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain
Or else we've been these years, cried these tears in vain, I'm saying

Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go

I've worked your patience, girl, and you've been working my nerves
We scream at each other, but we're not hearing one word
We've made mistakes that neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired where I was concerned

I saw an old man and his wife early today
They were holding hands, his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways
In my mind I could hear him say me , stay babe

Don't let go, I could hear him say
Don't let go, don't throw the love away
No, don't let go, aren't we worth it, baby?
Don't let go, don't let it go

Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go

With some other girl, I could move on
Trading old problems just for new
To some other guy you could belong
Going through changes we've been through

When another brother is trying to make a play
Oh no, don't you let go
When another woman jump in my face
Oh, I better not let go

When the honeymoon starts fading away
Oh no, I won't let go
If we're gonna make it I wanna hear you say
Oh no, I swear I won't let go

Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go

Don't let go, I wanna hear you say
Don't let go, don't throw this love away
No, don't let go, you know we're worth it, baby?
Don't let go, don't let it go

I could hear him say
Don't throw the love away
Aren't we worth it, baby?

Everlove Lyrics – Eric Benet (feat. Terry Dexter) Lyrics – Eric Benet

I never thought it was possible
In my reality
I thought my chances for love were gone
That time ran out for me
My heart has been through some
Changes
And heaven knows
What I thought was my everlove
Was so conditional
But my love everyday with you I'm
So surprised
Morning comes I fall in love again
Each night I'm thanking GOD you're
In my life
I don't know how I know but this feeling
Won't be ending

[CHORUS]
Everlove oh my everlove
Ever lasting through all changes in
Our lives
Everlove you're my everlove
Ever growing everyday and every night

I found my everlove

I'll never ask for perfection
That's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth in your heart the
Rest we'll work out day by day

You've seen the best and worst of me
And you're still standing here
Oh, there is nothing that can stop us now
Cause' we've got nothing left to fear

The future will show

The power in a moment just like this
Whatever love can dream we both
Will know
Whatever we imagine will exist
With every kiss I swear my life will be
Deserving of you

Everlove, oh everlove
Everlasting through all changes in
Our lives
Everlove, you're my everlove
Ever giving, ever learning with every cry
I found, my ever love
The winds of changes will blow
(come what may)
Your friends may come may go
(I'll never go away)
These struggles of life they my put us
Through the fire
But as long as I'm alive I'll be right there
By your side

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I never know that love could feel this way
Let's share a life of love together baby
Everlasting through all changes in our lives
Come what may I'm gonna be here
With you
Love you forever till my life is through
Ever giving ever learning with every cry

I found my everlove

Chocolate Legs Lyrics – Eric Benet

This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me, I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal, babe

I need you to wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you gon' wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
The memory of my day will quickly just fade away
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Please baby, wrap them chocolate legs 'round me

Your cocoa skin against mine, babe
Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love
You're the only thing I'm ever sure of, your love I'm sure of
I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, come take my soul and set me free

When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
I need you to understand and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you that's where I need to be
Oh baby, just wrap them chocolate legs 'round me

Hold on, hold on
I only need you to wrap 'round me
Hold on, hold on
Don't let go, baby, don't let go
Don't you, don't you let go

I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, just take my soul and set me free
I want you to know how much you mean to me
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Oh, oh, tonight, I want you to make things right
Baby, come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me

I need you to understand and make me glad I'm a man

Spanish Fly Lyrics – Eric Benet

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

Oh oh, don't it feel good? Don't it feel good?
Mamacita, mamacita
Let me please you, I wanna please you

He let your love go
You're the victim of a crime
Your heart broken treacherously
Your river just froze and now this happens
Every time you're faced with some intimacy

No one's been able to stable this painful phase
It's like you just can't reach that high
Would you mind it if I try?
Just lay back and close your eyes
Guaranteed you'll feel the fire again

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

Don't be afraid, no, I promise you if you let it flow
Your face will be stuck with a smile
Let's take off our clothes, then let's take it nice and slow
Let's just stare at each other a while

No one can figure your trigger, that's what you say
How about you give me a try?
Like an aphrodisiac, I can bring the fire back
'Cause I know exactly what to prescribe

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

It's been so long, there's a fire trapped inside you
All I want is to be there when it burns you
Baby, let me squeeze you, wanna hold you, wanna please you
Let me feel you, 'cause I need to

Lay you on the table, let me lick you
From your navel to your flower, for hours
Baby, don't you see that
There's nothing wrong with getting freaky
When you need to, to release you

Baby, I'm on fire, we gonna take it a little higher
Till it's time to come inside you

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly

Oh, everybody needs, everybody needs
To feel somebody sometime
Use me baby, won't you use me, baby?

Sing To Me Lyrics – Eric Benet

Can I tell you shall I count the way
Can I find the words that could explain
I have my heart of my life soul you changed forever

You ease my pain with such gentle hand
When im with you im a better man

Looking for a peace love to make Get better

Cause you sing to me without musical words
Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard
Sweet enough to make me cry
Cause it keeps our love alive
Sing to me sing baby

And your the reason why I gotta

Cause you sing to me (everytime I look in to your eyes its like I can hear) you sing to me
Sing to me (I love you so much babe)

One More Tomorrow Lyrics – Eric Benet

Last night I dreamed my life was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven but I know it was a lie
For when I looked, you weren't inside

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you

Last night my dream revealed the day could soon come
Without your kiss, your touch, your love
The first tears in Heaven ever cried would be mine
Until you were there right by my side
Baby, don't you know

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you

If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could, in your arms
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would

Sometimes life makes us feel so secure
Like our days will last forever
A time will come when I am here no more
Think of me and just remember
Always remember

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you

If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could, in your arms
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would

As long as you were there, there with you
No girl, I wouldn't be afraid, there with you
Hold my hand, there with you
I love you that much, babe
I love you that much, babe
Last night I dreamed of you

"Hurricane" (2005)

Be Myself Again Lyrics – Eric Benet

I've been away too long awhile
I lost my rhythm, I forgot my style
Too complicated for this simple man
But now I understand
Like a circle peg in a square hole
I tried to push it but it wouldn't go
It didn't kill me so my strength increased
And now i finally see

I found a love that was gone deep inside of me
I found a man who was lost and i set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now i can be myself again

I had the best the world could offer for sho'
But peace of mind is much more precious than gold
I was in place where truth was hard to find
But it's all revealed in time
Stick out my chest and hold my head up high
Forgot how it felt to feel so good inside
A fool would gain the world just to lose himself
Now i'm gonna be true to no one else

I gotta light in my eyes for the world to see
Thank God the music's back inside of me
It was a long hard road to be a better man
But now i can be myself again
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that i go
And the gift of life i truly understand
'Cause i can be myself again

No there ain't no wound that love can't heal for sho'
And if you lose yourself the Lord will guide you home
This i know
Well i found a joy and serenity
Won't let nobody tell me something's wrong with me
Gotta big love inside and I'm 'mo set it free
And be myself again

I found a love that was gone deep inside of me
I found a man who was lost and i set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now i can be myself again
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that i go
And the gift of life i truly understand
And i can be myself again
I said i can be myself again
I know i can be myself again
I can be myself again

Pretty Baby Lyrics – Eric Benet

Baby what you searching for
I'm pretty sure that you just don't know 'cause
You're looking with your body, not your head
You're brilliant and beautiful
But they don't see when they take you home 'cause
You're just another notch that's in their bed
Oh, oh pretty baby
Oh, oh pretty baby
(Why you wanna go and do that baby)

I can feel your emptiness, I can see it behind those eyes
Just waiting for the one who understands
(Someone who understands)
Though I'm nothing like the rest
I'm invisible because you're blind
Jaded and blinded to a chance
(To take a chance with me)
Oh, oh pretty baby
Oh, oh pretty baby
(oh, you're so beautiful, why you want to go and do that baby)

Don't lie to yourself
Don't let them inside while your heart keeps crying
Slow love for yourself
Discover your light where you you'll find me
(In the light)
Oh, oh pretty baby

Hurricane Lyrics – Eric Benet

Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me
With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide
Gonna hold on
All the walls around are broken down
Now I can hear the rising sun

Surrounded by everything I want
But nothing that I need
I was blinded by the absurdity
Losing all identity
Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need
To find that road
Right around that curve a lesson learned
Now that I have the eyes to see

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

With poison toys I'd isolate
But the wind was strong and true
But now I see where the treause is
'Cause they only blocked my view
I'm spiraling down but so oblivious
Got to find my way home
There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me
But how do I break this shell of stone

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall
And sometimes I tried to break those walls
And feel your love
But I came alive
When I finally found my way

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

Where Does The Love Go Lyrics – Eric Benet

We could write the story of how we fell apart
But your truth and mine ain't the same
So I'll write the words into my heart
Fot the chapter that bears your name
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
Where does the love go

They say that love is a timeless energy, it never dies it just changes form
But it when it changed from the shape of you and me it took the shape of a raging storm
I'm not asking for second chances
I just want you to see
Until you take a look at yourself girl
You could never be free

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go?
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does love go?

When it dissipates does it turn to hate
If you see me on the street, would you talk to me
For the sake of love, ain't worth it babe?
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
The love that we shared, does it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had does it vanish completely
Where does love go
The love that we shared
Where does the love go
Where does the love go

My Prayer Lyrics – Eric Benet

I don't want to live this way no more
I don't want to fight this endless lonely war
I don't want to stand alone, without the only love I've known
And never find that ray of light we had before
I never meant to break your precious heart
And what I did can't be undone and it's tearing me apart
Far too late for promises, but if you gave us one more chance
You would see a better man worth fighting for

Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
If this prayer for love is never heard
Oh, and if you have to walk away for these are only words
Baby I will understand but I will always be that man
Waiting here for you with love and open arms

Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
Remember all the times we had, the dreans that we once shared
I swear I'll bring them back to you again
Again

Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again

Man Enough To Cry Lyrics – Eric Benet

I always loved, I always cared
But there was a part of me that wasn't always there
But then you loved enough to stay
And so I found the self I lost along the way
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
With you

The lights were off, the doors were closed
So how you found this love in me only heaven knows
Thank God and you who brought me here
An open man found just in time for the living years
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
With you

Feels like waves of my love breaking through
Now I can lay down and share me with you
I won't hold out I know now this life only lasts a while
So I'll love leaving non to hide from you

So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
With you

I Know Lyrics – Eric Benet

Some say that change won't come
We'll never live as one
They say it can't be done
But I know better
They say there'll be more rain
They say there'll be more pain
But sun's gonna shine again
And I know for sho'

If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anthing you want you just go out and try
'Cause I know, I know, I know

They say the end is near
And they say it's almost here
But I say to have no fear
I know, it's not so
Some say that love's just a myth
It's a wonderful dream but it doesn't exist
But to look at you you're such a precious gift
That I know, I know

If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anthing you want you just go out and try
'Cause I know, I know, I know

And if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know
I know, I just know
That I know
Oh

The seeds you sowed determine what you grow
The road you take determines where you're gonna go
And when you feel it deep inside your soul
You'll know, you'll know

If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anthing you want you just go out and try
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know
