If You Want Me To Stay Lyrics – Eric Benet

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
Available for you to see
Well I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've got to be me

You'll never be down
That's what it's all about
Can't take me for granted smile
Count my days I'm gone
Together me and you by phone
I promised I'll be gone for a while

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now

Got to get them straight
How could I ever be late
To the only woman taking up my time
How could I ever allow
I guess I wondered how
I could forget about a pocket of fun

When you know
That you'll never ever do
Number one's gonna be number one

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get the message over to you now

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now

Let's Stay Together (Midnight Mix) Lyrics – Eric Benet

I never felt the wind so cold
Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause now I understand

I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you had
I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'

And I knew the first time that I ever seen you

[Chorus:]
Let's stay together girl it would be so nice
If we just hold on and stay together
Everything will be alright...(we'll be alright)

Tell me why it feels so strong (tell me baby, tell me baby)
The years roll by, but s'til this heart you own
I never felt a love so completely
Don't you know we're riding on destiny

And I knew the first time that I ever seen you

[Chorus]

Ooh girl you got me
'Cause when I wake up
You're the first thing on my mind

Tomorrow will be
So let's leave the past behind
Just let me lead you
To our happy ever after

And girl when we arrive
Why don't we stay awhile

[Chorus out]

Femininity Lyrics – Eric Benet

Ooh what you do to me (yeah yeah)

Quietly your silhouette approaches me
A vision far too lovely to define (hey yeah)
Tenderly you take complete control of me
The feminine seduction of body, soul and mind (yeah)

[Chorus:]
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women want to be
Softly you move when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity

A child of innocence is how you look at me
But it's the woman's touch that makes it feel so right (so right)
Your lips consume my deepest sensitivity
It feels so good it makes me wanna cry (makes me cry)

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh
Femininity
Oh, Femininity

Let me feel myself inside you once again
I love the way you say it's just for me
A lady in the purest sense of elegance
But when the lights go down girl you're making love, strong, wild and free

[Chorus]

I like the way you take control of me
You have a little certain quality
Not many girls would ever dare to be
The lady that you are femininity

[Vamp out]

While You Were Here Lyrics – Eric Benet

Through this veil of tears
I can see what was suppose to be
Now it's all so clear
Love from you was so real, so true, genuine
Stronger than time

[Chorus:]
Wipe your tears away
Kiss you every morning
Hear every word you had to say
Are all the things I should have done
While you were here
And now the foolish boy has grown
Into this man I'm sorry you've never known
I'm not afraid to love
'Cause every beat of my heart
Echoes all those memories from way back when
And the man I should have been

[Chorus]

Faded dreams of you and me
And of our little family
Gone forever
My God in heaven
Before the gift of clarity
We pay the price of misery
Why please tell me why

Her mommy's gone away
But in her eyes I see you more each day
How can I repay
All your love unreturned
From so long, long ago
Now I know

[Alternate Chorus]
I'll wipe her tears away
Kiss her every morning
Hear every word she has to say
Do all the things that you
Would do if you were here
Brighten her rainy day
Catch her when she's fallen
Say I love you each and every day
Do all the things that you
Would do if you were here

[Chorus]

Spiritual Thang Lyrics – Eric Benet

Ooh girl, lover friend
From the day we first began
Felt a connection to you

Somehow can't explain
No one's made me feel the same way
You do

Your heart and mine are one
Somethin' deep is goin' on
It's like we've been here before

Seems like God above
Had a reason to bring your love
To me

[Chorus:]
I love what I'm feelin' (a spiritual thang)
You're giving to me, yeah (a spiritual thang)
I know it's for real (a spiritual thang)
This spiritual love you bring (a spiritual thang)

Love won't fade away
When it's a spiritual thang
It's like we're one in the same

Girl, we got a love that the whole
World's been searching for
You and me, don't you know that

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

Your heart is in beat with mine
And no stronger love will I find
Together our souls intertwined
Together as one, yeah...

[Chorus out]

Chains Lyrics – Eric Benet

Break the chain

Tracy is a good girl
Sweet 16
Her daddy's in her bedroom
Makes her feel unclean
She's slave to a secret
That her dad and she keep together

Nathan is a genius
Or at least he was
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
Nat lives on the streets now
For $20 bills he'll do whatever

[Chorus:]
Don't stop breaking the chains
Don't stop breakin' away
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
It's up to no one else
You've got to free yourself

Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge
She gave up on her dreams
Her self esteem's broke down
Now she stares out the window
Watching people fly around forever

[Chorus]

Make a change don't you be afraid, go on
Free your mind from the fear inside
And you won't be chained anymore

Look here I'm a black man
And they say I'm free
Seems like somebody s'til got chains on me

Well we got brothers killing brothers
Leaving young mothers to raise a family
We gotta stay together to make it better

[Chorus out]

All In The Game Lyrics – Eric Benet

Why is my heart so
Afraid of letting go
And why did I push you away

It's so simple to see
That we were meant to be
But why are three words hard to say

It's all in the game
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game

After all of this time
Can't get you off of my mind girl
To you every girl I'd compare

Every night she's trying
To satisfy me
But we both know nothing's there

It's all in the game (why must I keep playing)
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game (I know love is waiting)

I think it's time I should let you know
I'm going to love you the rest of my life
I can't believe I once let you go
No one's to blame
It's all in the game

[Solo]

[Chorus out]

More Than Just A Girlfriend Lyrics – Eric Benet

Girl it's true
I can't deny
I've been around a couple of times
So you're afraid
This love in me
Tomorrow we'll no longer be
My heart beats stronger
At the end of each day
Can you feel the rhythm between the two of us
I'd be a fool to turn away
Baby all I'm trying to say is

[Chorus:]
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
You're more than just a temporary love of mine
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
So I'll ask you forever be mine

'Cause when I'm making love to you
I can tell it's not pretend
Many things to me are you
Not just another lady friend
See every brother has a place in his heart
Only one lady can find her way to it
Only one girl
To see your smile is all I need
To know that you're my destiny

[Chorus]

So I'll stay for always 'til the end of time
Much more than loves before
Don't wanna let you go
Right here is where I'll stay
Don't you ever go away

[Chorus out]

What If We Was Cool lyrics - eric benet

What if I made some time to listen to you
What if you made some time to hear me too
What if we took the time to realize
Givin' some love is givin' compromise
What if I could show you that my love is true
Without all these changes we be going through
What if we learned to play it by the rules

[Chorus:]
What if we was cool...cool
Wasn't acting like fools...fools
What if we was cool...cool
Wouldn't that be cool

What if we tried something not tried before
What if we let love open up the door
What if we set some goals, but not too high
What if we both agreed to really try
What if we knew that we could disagree
But s'til made love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do

[Chorus]

Do you hear me baby
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get the message through to you
I'm someone to love

What if we had equality for all men
What if we forgot all our forefather sins
What if you forgot the color of my skin
What if you could wear the skin I'm in

What if we knew that we could disagree
But still make love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do

[Chorus]
People can yousee
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get a message through to you
Can we keep this thing cool
A lot of love we're needing
I'm ready and I'm willing
Don't you know that I s'til think of you
As someone to love

[Chorus out]

Love Don't Love Me lyrics - eric benet

Time
I still don't know the reason that for all this time
I'm all alone but see it comes as no surprise
it seems like I go left each time that love goes right
every time

By chance, something happens every time I get a chance
I feel the rhythm but I just don't know the dance
I want to move with you but something holds me back
I'm holding back, yeah

All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me

Oh why,
I know exactly what is missing in my life,
Something for sure and something pure maybe a wife
but then I'm out the door before the morning light
Every night

So I pray
I'm so afraid I'm always gonna be this way
Relationships only to pass the time away
Fear of commitment is a habit hard to break
I must say, yeah

All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me

All I ever wanted was some happiness,
take it to a level that's above the rest
I wanna know how it's supposed to be
I wanna feel something real but
I believe that it must be love don't love me, love don't love me

Someone teach my heart to fall in love again
That all I have to fear is fear itself
I know that I was born to love one woman
but why must I keep running through the rest? Oh---- Yeah

All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me
no it don't love me

All I ever wanted was some happiness,
take it to a level that's above the rest
I wanna know how it's supposed to be
I wanna feel something real but
I believe that it must be love don't love me, love don't love me Oh-oh
