Stay

By: Mark Stevens/Bobby Khouzouri
Stay (x4)

Stay baby
Stay, come on darling now
Stay, you know I want you back
Stay with me tonight
Come on won't you stay
Stay, oh
Stay
Stay with me

It seems I have the strangest dream
I'm dreaming that you are gonna leave me
I wake up and I find it's true
What will I do without you?
I don't know, I don't know
Just what it takes to get to you
I don't know, I don't know
Baby I'll be true if only you

Stay
Baby though I made you cry
Stay
Baby don't you say goodbye
Stay
Baby look me in my eye
Stay with me tonight

Come on baby

Baby though I made you cry
Stay
Baby don't you say goodbye
Stay
Won't you stay

They say that love will come and go
But your love's indispensible to me
I really wanna be with you
What are we gonna do boy
I don't know, I don't know
Just what it takes to get to you
I don't know, I don't know
Baby I'll be true if only you

Stay
Baby though I made you cry
Stay
Baby don't you say goodbye
Stay
Baby look me in my eye
Stay with me tonight

Even though I told you lies
Stay
Baby give me one more try
Stay
Stay with me

Come on baby
Won't you, won't you
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay

Come on, come on, come on and stay
Come on, come on, come on and stay
Stay with me tonight

Oh, oh, oh
I want you to stay
Stay
Baby though I made you cry
Stay
Baby don't you say goodbye
Stay with me tonight
Come on baby
Made you cry
You don't have to say goodbye
Stay

Crazy

By: BeBe Winans
(One, two, three, four)
(Crazy)

Woo
What they say
They say I'm crazy when it comes to you
(No matter what they say)
(No words I know can keep me away from your love)
(They say I'm crazy)

This is why
They see me walking down this lonely avenue
They see me talking when I'm the only one in view
(And they say I'm crazy)
Well I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
When it comes to you

I hear them whisper
Certainly, she's lost her mind
And draw conclusions on any reasons they can find
They say I'm crazy
Well I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
When it comes to you
(They say I'm crazy)
Well I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
When it comes to you, you
(When it comes to you)

All others just a waste of time
(When it comes to you)
There is nothing more on my mind
(When it comes to you)
I'm just in love
(I'm just in love)
And a little
(Crazy)
When it comes to you
Yes I'm just crazy
When it comes to you

They've come to notice
That it's a smile I always wear
And those who notice
That when I'm down it's still there
(They say I'm crazy)
Oh, but I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
When it comes to you

(When it comes to you)
All others just a waste of time
(When it comes to you)
There's nothing more on my mind
(When it comes to you)
I'm just in love
(I'm just in love)
And a little crazy when it comes to you

(When it comes to you)
All of my problems seem to fade
(When it comes to you)
All of those nights turn to day
(When it comes to you)
I'm just in love
(I'm just in love)
And a little crazy when it comes to you
Yes I'm a little crazy, hey, when it comes to you, you, yeah

(No matter what they say)
(No words I know can keep me away from your love)
They say I'm crazy when it comes to you
(Say I'm crazy)
But I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
When it comes to you
(Say I'm crazy)
Well I'm not crazy
(Maybe a little crazy)
Hey, when it comes to you
(Crazy)
When it comes to you

Save Our Love

By: Scott Cutler/Ann Preven/Eddie Chacon
Save our love (x3)

Do you remember
All of the joy we found last spring
Oh baby
So good together
We never worried about a thing
No no
But now I see such a distance in your eyes
And the seasons come between us
I can't find my paradise
Without your love I'm a little child lost in the world
Mmm, come on baby

Say it's not too late
I know there's time enough
Help me darling
We got to save our love
Save our love
Stay close beside me
'Coz the sky is stormy now
Come on baby, come on and save our love
Save our love

Save our love (x3)

Walking in circles
Thinking if all we had was gone
Oh yeah
My life would be worthless
Never known emotions could run this strong
Oh, you don't know
What went on inside of me
When you said that you'd be leaving
'Coz I hurt you selfishly
Without your love I'm as hopeless
As the earth without the sun
Oh come on baby

Say it's not too late
I know there's time enough
Help me darling
We got to save our love
Save our love
Stay close beside me
'Coz the sky is stormy now
Come on baby, come on and save our love
Save our love

Save our love (x3)

So let's not fall apart
Like all those other lovers
I know if we trust
Love will leave it up to us
Oh

Oh, say it's not too late
I know there's time enough
Help me darling
We got to save our love
Save our love
Stay close beside me
'Coz the sky is stormy now
Come on baby, come on and save our love
Save our love

Say it's not too late
I know there's time enough
Help me darling
We got to save our love
Save our love
Stay close beside me
'Coz the sky is stormy now
Come on baby, come on and save our love
Save our love

Stay (stay)  (x3)
Stay

Sweet Funky Thing

By: Tommy Faragher/Lotti Golden/Evelyn King
There's no other love like you
Did you see that guy?
Which one?
You're so
Well he looked
He looks so fine
He were lookin' at you for sure
He weren't lookin' at me
So?

Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Oh baby

Cherry kisses on a summer's day
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
My heart's on fire when I think of you
You stay on my mind, sweet like honey dew
I need you baby like a flower needs the rain
There's nobody who can make me feel the same

Sweet, your mine, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
My baby, oh

I need your loving baby, every day
I give it all to you boy when you say
I want your loving right here and now
You've got me burning inside and out
I need you boy, like a flower needs the rain
When you wash away the hurt and ease my pain

Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing

Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing

(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)

If you're feeling the same my heart calls your name
The time is right for you and me tonight
My love runs so deep, it's yours to keep
Turn off the light, I know you want to be with me

Sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing

I need your loving every day like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I think of you and the special things you do
I need you baby every day like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I dream of you and the special things you do

My sweet
(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)

Never Gonna Give You Up

By: Tommy Faragher/Lotti Golden/Maria Christanson
All my life it seems my line has been set
And this time I'm gonna play to win
'Coz here you are at my fingertips
Gonna reach right out and pull you in
It doesn't matter what you do
I'm simply gonna make you mine
Even though I cry for you
I could never break the tie
It doesn't matter what they say
I just can't get enough
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm never gonna give you up

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go

Never never (x4)

Mama says someday that I'll meet someone
Who will take me away from you
I guess that she just doesn't know about love
There can be no substitute
'Coz what I feel for you is strong
I simply got to make you mine
I have waited much too long
I can never let this die
It doesn't matter what they say
I just can't get enough
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm never gonna give you up

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go

Never never never give you up
Never never
Never never never give you up
Never never

Never, yeah

All this wanting and frustration I feel
I'm sure I'll pay the price
But I keep my dreams until I make them real
'Coz I know you're worth the sacrifice

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna (x2)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna (x2)
Never gonna let you go

Never gonna give you up

Just A Step From Heaven

By: Wayne Cohen/Shepard Solomon
Tell me that we still belong
Tell me that the will is still alive
There must be another chance for us tonight
'Coz everyone who's walked upon
Trouble or lies, they come and go
We can be the lucky ones
And find love, after the storm

Don't let go
'Coz it's just a step from heaven
And the strength of love is on our side
Soon you'll find
That our faith will take us higher
'Coz we're just a step
Baby just a step from heaven

We don't need to justify our emotions
We don't need to worry 'coz if they hold on
There's a bigger destiny that was made for us
So don't let troubles bring you down
Believe in the foundation of our love
Can't you see my faith in you
Is forever and more

Don't let go
'Coz it's just a step from heaven
And the strength of love is on our side
Soon you'll find
That our faith will take us higher
'Coz we're just a step
Baby just a step from heaven
Heaven, oh yeah
Heaven, oh yeah

Baby can't you see
This love was meant to be
We can rise above this pain in our hearts

Don't let go 'coz it's just a step from heaven
And the strength of love is on our side
Soon you'll find
That our faith will take us higher
'Coz we're just a step
Baby just a step from heaven
Heaven

If You Need Me Tonight

By: Dennis Charles/Ronnie Wilson/Eternal
(The 'h' the 'y' the 'm' the 'n')
[repeat, fading to start]

If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I will be there)
If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I'll be there)

There's a distance in between us
And I don't exactly know
What it means when you say
That you need some time alone
Are you searching for the answers
To the questions of the heart
When you find them will you tell me
Are we together or apart?

(In every minute of every hour)
I'm still thinking of you
(I still love you)
(I want to know are you my friend)
Will you be back again
(I'm here for you)
Ooh

If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I will be there)
If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I'll be there)

Please don't get the wrong impression
That I'm waiting to be ruled
Because even though I love you
I'd leave than be a fool
But I'm putting that aside
You know it's you that's on my mind
I know I'll treat you right
If you need me tonight

(In every second of my day)
I'm hoping things will fall my way
(I still love you)
('Coz I have waited here in vain)
I don't wanna feel no pain, no pain
(I'm here for you)
Ooh

If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I will be there)
If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
(I'll be there)

If you need me tonight
Need me tonight
Need me tonight
Alright
If you need me
If you want me
Come on now

I feel like I'm hanging
Like I'm a puppet on a string
Ting-a-ling-a-ling-ling
Which way am I turning?
So bu ba da back make me kick my rap
'Coz I'm kicking it, kicking it bad
When I'm rapping on a vocal track
Do you know how I'm feeling
I never really knew
It was my heart you were stealing
So why put up a fight?
If you know very well that you need me tonight

Need me, need me
(If you need me tonight)
If you need me tonight
If you need me tonight
(If you need me tonight)
If you
Need me
Want me
Need me
Want me
Be here
I'll be here for you
I still love you, want you
I don't know how
I don't know how I feel for you

Don't Say Goodbye

By: Dennis Charles/Ronnie Wilson/Eternal
I can remember the time when I first tasted love
It tasted so good there just wasn't enough
Since you entered my life things could never be the same, no
And if ever you left me there'd be everlasting pain
'Coz you said to me
That our love would last forever
But it's plain to see
That something has happened that I can't ignore
'Coz you wanna walk
Out that door

(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)
Don't say goodbye

(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)

I'm not begging you baby
Won't you reassure my fears
Just say something good
Tell me something I wanna hear
And if you can't, oh well never mind
I don't want you to lie
Even if it's just to be kind
'Coz I can't believe, no
That there is a distance growing
Between you and me
Just tell me the reason why you've changed your tune
You used to be over the moon

(Don't you turn your back)
Don't turn your back on me baby
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, no, no, no, no
(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)

(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)

(Don't you turn your back)
Don't you turn around
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)
Don't say goodbye baby

(If you ever leave)
Alright
I don't know what I'd do without you
Don't leave me baby
(If you ever leave)
I can't do without you

'Coz you said to me, oh baby
That our love would last forever
But it's plain to see my baby
(There's something that's happend that I can't ignore)
(Coz you wanna walk)
Out the door

(Don't turn your back)
Don't you turn around
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)
(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)
(Don't you turn your back)
(Don't you turn around)
(Don't you say goodbye)

Amazing Grace

By: John Newton
Amazing (x4)

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now I see

Amazing grace
Shall always be my song of praise
For it was grace that brought my liberty
I'll never know
Just why Christ came to love me so
He looked beyond my faults and saw my need

Hallelujah (x4)
