Heaven Is Keeping Score

You'll be fine, cause you're mine/We can withstand the test of time
It's all or nothing/Everything we do/Even when I can't be, can't be with you
It doesn't mean you're any farther away/Just means we're still prisoners
Not entirely free/There's a new age dawning/Slowly opening Heaven's door
Contrary to rumor/Heaven is keeping score/
The New Power Generation has just taken control

God Is Alive

Flash, flash! /Jack just got the news /God is alive! God is alive!
CHORUS: Whoa, oh! {x3} /God is alive
News is comin' like a hurricane /Comin' down hard on those who live in vain /
Treatin' each other funky when U know we're all the same /God is alive, this is not a game /
CHORUS
(He's alive) /News is comin' like a dog in heat /He's lookin' 4 soldiers with strong feet /
That can dance on whoever can't say His name /God is alive, this is not a game (Listen)
CHORUS
(Listen) /(Yeah, I'm a witness) /(Do U believe?) (U know it) /All of His children come take a blissy ride
/4 all who see Him, 4 all He lives inside /U can be so happy, purely satisfied /God is alive /Live, live! /
One step at a time, we need a new rhyme (Alive) /Up with education, down with crime /Alive!

I'm a livin' witness He's alive! /Do U believe that He's alive? /Do U believe, oh, He's alive? /

Every step I take lets me know /Every song I sing, oh, lets me know /Oh, God is alive! /Whoa, oh

Come Outside And Play

Can U come outside and play?! /Give me your name and number /Give me the keys 2 your ride /
Put the top down /Let me cruise up the ocean side /Let me put my arm around U /
Unsnap your self-consciousness /Take off everything except your stockings /I wanna kiss U more or less
Can U come outside and play? {"Play" repeats is BG of song} /Tell me baby, what do U say? /
I got a bet goin' with my partner /That U're the best kisser in L.A. /If I'm, uh, out of line, U can tell me /

What's My Name?

Take my name, I don't need it Nothing stays the same anyway /Take my fame, I can't use it /
My girlfriend calls me lame /Game was over yesterday /Tell me, what's my name?
Tell me, what's my name? /What's my name? /Take this bass, I can't play it /
It only makes me wish 4 the way it used 2 be /U could slap my face, but I got 2 say it /
U never woulda drank my coffee /If I had never served U cream /Now tell me, what's your name? /
Tell me, what's your name? /What's your name?! /C-C-C-C-Come on! /
Do U dream in color or do U discriminate? /Do U love others? /Do U love or do U hate? /
Do U worship fire or do U worship a dove? /Do U live a liar or do U live 4 love?
What's your name? /What's my name? /What's your name?

5 Women

It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind /It took 5 months, of plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again /2 fall in love all over, I guess with U I'll never win /
March was a cold one in more ways than one /Went down 2 the nightclub lookin' 4 the sun /
Lookin' 4 a light that could brighten up a day/That's been darker than a hole since U went away
April usually brings showers /This time it was a hurting kind /This woman said she wanted my baby /
I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind /2 fall in love with someone that I barely knew /
The baby would never really have a father /Cuz I still, cuz I still, cuz I still, still, still, huh /Be stuck on U /
It took 5 women 2 getcha offa my mind /Get off my mind, baby /Falling in love all over...with U I'll never win
May was her name, she was jumpin' /Jumpin' from plane 2 plane /Actress or model or somethin' /
I can't even remember her first name/June brought an Easter bunny
Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late/Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date /What a skench!
July was a heartbreak, extraordinary /Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary /
It felt so much, so much like yours /But it only made me, (yes) made me want U more/
She's gone, she's gone but U're still here /I want U very..., huh, it's U I fear
Said it took 5 women (yes it did) 2 get U off my mind /It took 5 months, 5 months of plenty good wasted time/
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again /I fell in love all over with U, I guess I'll never win /(I never win)
 

I Wonder

A gust of southern wind came and took my girl away from me /Now my tears could fill an ocean, my tears could fill a sea /
I wonder if she thinks about me, I wonder /Many women come and go, they say my heart's uncarin' (Uncarin') /
Maybe they don't hold me like she does (No they don't!) /No, it's unbearable /
I wonder if she knows that I've turned down their hug and kissin' /Cuz it's her that I'm missin' /
I wonder if she really knows, I wonder /
CHORUS:
I wonder if she knows how much I love her /I wonder if she knows how much I need her face around /
I wonder if she cares about me, I wonder /Well, go on and get it one time /Well, well, well, well
Maybe she'll come on Monday, then again maybe not /Maybe she'll let me get her excited, get her sweaty, get her hot /
I wonder if I'll finally do what I've been dreamin' so long /I wonder if she knows that she is makin' love so strong
(So strong) /I wonder what ground's below her, I wonder what sky's above /
I wonder if she knows how much I extra absolutely, so complete and sweetly love her /
I wonder if she knows how much I love her, I wonder /All the other girls I know are dumb, dumber than a post /
But my girl knows everything (everything), I'm the king so I need 2 boast /
Still I wonder if she'll really ever know (I wonder if she knows)
CHORUS {x2}

Uh-Huh!

Know when it's right /U know when U feel it, baby /U hold it, U hear it, U touch it, it's right /
Everybody know who's U, who's U /When it's real soul /Ain't no way 2 fight it /Sing it girls
(Uh-huh!) {repeat in song}
Ah yeah /Yeah, yeah /When I was a little itty bitty baby /Yo, cookin' in the belly, wasn't even born /
The way my mama tell it, drove that woman crazy /Every time I hear the music, I start kickin' on the 2 and 4, oh! /
Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby /Uh-huh! - U got the one U need /Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - cuz it's the one it's got 2 be /Remember now, when I was just a little boy of 7 /
Preacher man, Sunday mornin' talk about heaven and hell /"Hey brother, if U don't believe and change your evil ways /
The rain gonna come, there won't be nowhere 2 run /Nobody 2 tell ya…"
Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby/ Uh-huh! - U got the one U need /Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby /
Uh-huh! - it's the one it got 2 be, alright
Hey now pretty sweet thing, tell me where U got that walk /I feel it when U hold my hand, U got these old knees just-a-knockin' /When, when U give me that kiss, fill me through and through, huh /
I don't know where U got it, girl, but don't U dare stop doin' what U do /
 Chorus
If I already ain't change your mind, tell U one more story /Only a man that's truly blind can't see the glory /
Think about what U're doin' here, think about what U say /If U shine the light on your brother
when he's lost his way /Then guess what?
Chorus
This irrepressible lover boy can not misjudge one another /
Let me suppose U got the right one, baby /One more, one more /
CHORUS {Parts repeat in BG}

Old Friends 4 Sale

The sun set in my heart this evenin' /Cuz an old friend of mine got lost in the jive /
Little did she know, when U're stuck in the snow /Nobody gets out alive
Tears fall gently in my garden /As I wait in vain 4 my sweet baby 2 call /
I guess what my own brother told me was true /He had been with my sweet baby and she never really loved me at all
Night fell so dark this evenin' /The moon wasn't shinin' nowhere /Sometimes that old light in the alley
would light up this old heart of mine /But now I'm wonderin' if there's someone up there who really cares
The night fell darkest in Persia /What used 2 flow blue is now flowin' black /
Many a doctor can try, but only heaven knows why /When it comes 2 love, why do some men,
why do some men turn their backs?/Can't somebody please tell me?
Maybe the morning air will make me feel better /Oh, I hope better than I feel right now /
Last night a stranger took my picture and then he, uh.. /He asked if I'd buy it, huh /I said, "I guess I don't know how"/
Old, old friends 4 sale /Get'em while the gettin' is hot /But U better watch out,
they'll kiss U until they get what U got /And they'll show U the friends that they're not /Old friends 4 sale
(Yeah, hey, yeah, ooh)
 
 

Open Book

U said my heart's just like an open book /But there are lines U've never seen /
U said that U could tell in a single look /But U never looked in between /Sometimes I wanted 2 keep U,
sometimes I wanted your love /But I've awakened 2 the reality that sometimes is not enough /
Oh, our separate dreams pulled us our separate ways /We were so different from the very start /
2 me it was 4ever, 2 U it was just a phase /I'll give back your name if U give back my heart
CHORUS:
U said U'd take me 2 another world /I said U were only posing /U'd never be able 2 read this girl /
So the open book is closing, closing, closing /Closing
Sometimes it felt so natural, sometimes it felt so right /It doesn't seem fair that U and I ever had a fight ... no! /
Sometimes I wanted 2 keep U, sometimes I wanted your love /
But I've awakened 2 the reality that sometimes is not enough /Oh, now your touch is a reminder
like the thorns upon a rose /The beauty is mine if I can stand the cut
CHORUS {x2}
 

Hold Me

Someone said what someone saw and now we can't be lovers /Who do we believe when we can't believe each other? /
If U and I are lost because of what some people say /Then there's no justice in this world 2day
CHORUS:
Hold me and we can make it through the rain /Hold me and we can weather any pain
/If U and I are lost because of what some people say /Then there's no justice in this world 2day /
Hold me and make this world just go away
All my life I've longed 4 someone just 2 be in my corner /2 believe in me when no 1 else did, that was all I wanted /
And when U came into my heart, joy was all U made /I can't believe this is the same heart that U want 2 break
CHORUS
It seems like only yesterday U said U loved me /U said I was your universe with only God above me /
How could U say all those things and lead me on this way? /2 think that I could give U up 4 what some people say
CHORUS
If U and I are lost because of what some people say /Then there's no thread of justice in this world 2day /
Hold me and make this world just go away /Hold me and make this world just go away

The Voice

Bang! - A gunshot rings out /13-year-old baby falls 2 the ground /See the killer runnin' down the street /
Tell me killer, can U hear the sound? //Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain /
Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again/Oh, sighin' like a woman on fire

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain /Said the voice is just a cryin' /
(Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again)//5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over /
But how many wanna keep the peace? (How many) (Peace) (Tap {repeated in BG}) /
We keep buildin' guns when we need 2 build love/Cuz that's when the war will cease /U know it, /

The voice is just a-steady-callin' until U give in, until U give up
 
 
 
 

I Hear Your Voice

Out of the lonely blue /U went away and left me /(I... I hear your voice) /Without, without one single word /
(I... I hear your voice) /Night after night like a ghost from the past /(I... I hear your voice calling in the night) /
Your voice is all I heard /I can’t take it, baby (I...) //Don’t let me die like this /
I remember just like it was yesterday /I woke up, baby, and U were gone /I didn’t even wanna carry myself up outta bed /
Let alone, I didn’t wanna carry on /Cuz I could hear (I hear your voice calling in the night) /
I can’t stop it no matter how hard I try /I can hear (I hear your sound calling in the dark) /
In a word, I feel like I wanna die /I started lookin’, lookin’ from dusk till dawn /
4 ways that I wouldn’t miss U so much (I hear your voice) /I even bought a new dress, uh, but when I put it on /
I could still, huh, still feel your touch
And I can hear (I hear your voice calling in the night) /I can’t stop it no matter how hard I try /
I can hear (I hear your sound calling in the dark) /In a word, I feel like I wanna die (I...) /
My friends tell me that I need a new love /A bird in hand beats 2 in the bush (I hear your voice) /
What my friends don’t know, huh, and I ain’t about 2 tell’em /Is that U’re the only bird,
U’re the only one who knows what buttons 2 push /It don’t take no scientist 2 tell U what’s wrong with me /
It don’t take good vision, huh, 2 see what any fool could see /(I hear your voice calling in the night) /
That I just need your body, I just need your f-f-face /Right where it counts - no, not in another place /
(I hear your voice calling in the night) /I’m talkin’ about all up, talkin’ about all down /
Every inch, U see? I don’t need U cross town /U better read my lips, I need it here with me /
I can’t stop it no matter how I try/(I hear your sound calling in the dark) /
In a word, I feel like I wanna die /(I hear your voice) /I can’t take it, baby /(I hear your voice) /
Don’t let me die like this /No! /I... I hear your voice {x2} /I... I hear your voice calling in the night /I...

Neon Telephone

Maybe she'll call me (Neon telephone) /Maybe she won't (Maybe she won't) /And if she don't (Neon telephone) /
I'm gonna lose my mind (This time I'm gonna lose my mind) /It's kinda dark in here (Neon telephone) /
I need a light (It's 2 bright) /I could use a sexy situation that would do my body just right /
2night I'm gonna lose my mind/Sometimes her pride is like a big tall building /
It hides the street that leads 2 a sweet mystery /(Sometimes) Sometimes we blow the chance 2 be so happy (Happy) /
If we could only make up our minds /We could have such a good time /I know she wants me (Neon telephone) /
I know she cares (I don't care) /Tell me what's stoppin' me (I don't care 2 know) /
From runnin' right over there and runnin' my fingers through your hair /I'm goin' crazy, yes I am (Neon telephone)
Why can't U understand? (He needs 2 change) /I can't stop (can't stop) thinkin' about U, baby /
This time I'm gonna lose my mind (This time I'm gonna lose it) /Why can't U call me, baby? Pick up the phone /
U know your little Prince can't be alone /I need some of your sweet, sweet... oooh! /(Neon telephone) /
(I don't care) /(Neon telephone)/Hello /How come U didn't call? /What, U think U're 2 good or something? /
Can I talk 2 U? /Are U alone? /Good God /
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A Place In Heaven

She wants a place in heaven /But she cannot face the truth /She lives on a rope of self-pity /It only requires a noose /
Why are the ones so afraid 2 live /Much more afraid 2 die? /It's as easy 2 imagine laughing /When U really hear a cry /
And they sound the same /In hell, they sound the same
U want a place in heaven //Maybe U're already there /Life's what U make it, stop whining baby /
Love comes 2 those who care /There must be children in heaven /Ones who know nothing from hate /
3-year-old leaders of all colors /I'd feel safer with them in control, control, control, control /3-year-olds in control /
We all want a place in heaven /Suites of that level are few /Let's not be lazy, there's no room service /
It's all up 2 me and U /Let's not be lazy, there's no room service /It's all up 2 me and U

The Grand Progression

Can it be in this seemingly short space of time /We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds? /
Now I want 2 whisper in your ear /That U're OK /If love were gold then I would be fixed 4 life /
If I was a star, then baby, U would be the night /And I want 2 live my whole life through /Inside of U
CHORUS:
Darling it seems I have found the grand progression /Whenever I'm in your arms /
From July until June, every sun and every moon /Melting inside of your charms
If there really is a God up above /2 him I owe my life 4 U my love /Now ... darling, if I died yesterday /It's OK
CHORUS {x2}
Can it be in this seemingly short space of time /We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
/Now I want 2 spend my whole life through /Inside of U
