Used to dream of being a millionaire,
without a care
but if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there
’cause it’s over
that just wont be fair, darling.
I'd rather be a poor woman living on the street,
no food to eat
'cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
'cause it's over when you said goodbye
All at once, I had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything?
now that you’re gone
?from above, seems I had it all
?but it doesn’t mean anything?
since you’re gone
Now I see myself through different eyes
it's no surprise
but being alone would make you realize,
when it's over, all in love is fair
I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there,
I shoulda shoulda
All at once
I had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
?now that you’re gone
?from above, seems I had it all
?but it doesn’t mean anything
?since you’re gone
I know I pushed you away
what can I do that would save our love
take these material things
they don't mean nothing
its you that I want
All at once
I had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
?now that you’re gone
?from above, seems I had it all
?but it doesn’t mean anything?
since you’re gone
Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can u pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreaming about you all day
In school can't concentrate
Want have your voice in my ear
'Till ma comes and says its too late
When the lights are on outside
Could you find somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor stair case
I'm wanna give you this letter
Of all the things I cant say
Want you to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I wrote your name in my book
You last name my first
I'm your Mrs.
When the lights are on outside
Could you find somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Hey boy
You know I really like being with u right?
Just hanging out with you is fun
So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too
Third base
Better pump the breaks
Well baby slow down
I gotta go home now
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
my first teenage love affair
My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn’t feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I’d be wishing you were here
To be everything that I’d be looking for
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again
Oh Oh Ohhhhh
How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it’s everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You’re beside me
I’m so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don’t really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you’ll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you’ll never see me again
(like you’ll never see me again)
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

And my heart is hurting

To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So til the end of time I'm telling you there is no one
No one, no one, no one

And how I cry and try and try to make you stay with me

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me a world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she`s been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Talkin late on the phone
Every night you`ve been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she`s a friend
But I can`t shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
I think I`m jealous of your girlfriend
Although she`s just a girl that is your friend
I think I`m jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
You said that she`s one well to see
How deep you`re in love with me
And intentions were not to get inbetween
But I see possibilites
And you say that you feel
I`m the best thing in your life
And I know it`s realI see it in your eyes
There`s no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
I think I`m jealous of your girlfriend
Although she`s just a girl that is your friend
I think I`m jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

Make love tenderly to last a lifetime

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right
Now just don't, better show that she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth
Mmmmhmmmm...
Hold up
'Cause if you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me promise not to blow off
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
'Cause baby I know you're worth it
She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Dont take for granted the passion she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth
No need to read between the lines, spelled out for you
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong with your values
A woman, woman, woman, woman's worth
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth
Mmmmhmmmm...
I keep on fallin' in
And out love with you
Sometimes I love ya
