Greatest Hits - The First Ten Years

Where do we go
When there's a need to be loved
Like you need to be loved
Oh, I'll let you know
Just what to do and where to go
Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

After a hard day's work
There's one thing to be certain of
This ol' familiar love
It's not unusual to find that it's sensual
It's all you need to let go

There's no need to try
Or compromise
Or settle for another outside of my love
The thing to do
When you get through
Heed the message seek the comfort of my zone

Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

Hey let me make you comfortable
Let me take control
And give your mind a break from the day you made
Let's turn the lights down low
And oh the rest you know
I'll be here for you
'Cause you just stepped into the comfort zone

Vanessa Williams & Brian McKnight


[Vanessa]
They say it's a river, that circles the Earth
A beam of light shinin' to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything

They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is
It conquers all
But it's a mystery

1 - Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard

And it fades away
So easily

[Brian]
In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In the blink of an eye babe, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity

2 - Love breaks the chains
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And then turns it into the beauty that remains

[Vanessa]
Look at this place
It was paradise
But now it's dying
I'll pray for love

[Brian]
I'll take, my chances that it's not too late


[Vanessa] (Repeat 1)


[Brian]
And it fades away so easily
Oh Oh Oh

Uh how long
How long have you been away?
Oh how long, can't find no words to say

I've kept your picture on my shelf (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
only there to remind myself (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)

Uh my love
will I ever make you see
oh that somehow, you are still apart of me
maybe we can compromise
'cause our love just can't be disguised
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame, oh)

I've kept your picture on my shelf
only there to remind myself (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change (somethings will never change)
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me, say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me

You and I in this moment
Holding the night so close
Hanging on, still unbroken
While outside the thunder rolls
Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Warm against life's bitter cold
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know
There are times that scare me
We rattle the house like the wind
Both of us so unbending
We battle the fear within
All the while, life is rushing by us
Hold it now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

So we'll whisper a dream here in the darkness
Watching the stars till they're gone
And when even the memories have all faded away
These days go on and on

Listen now, you can hear our heartbeats
Hold me now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

I was standing at 7:15 waiting for my baby's car
Just then out stepped the driver of a limousine
And asked if I was going far
I said I've got my mind made up
I don't wanna leave him baby cause it's clear to me
That it's just to tough to find another lover like mine

With the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with Mr. Right


Just Friday 'bout a week ago
This fellow called me on the phone
And said 'I live in Paris, don't you want to go
I know you must be all alone'

Well, it'll take more than a fancy trip
Or a chauffeured limousine
Cause I ain't never seen no one
Who could give me love like this
The other fellows don't compare

To the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with Mr. Right
Sing

He's the only to give me that lovin'
Cause next to him there is no other one
He's very sexy and oh so sweet
And he knocks me off my feet
Say it

I need the right stuff
I got to have the right stuff
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff

Never be afraid to love

to stuplicate the simple truth
have the courage to be free

Open your eyes You can fly
Open your eyes You can fly
You can fly (uh uh)

Never be afraid to love (no, no, no...)

cast away the chains of doubt

Boy, you've been running around too long
Now I think you're running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
It's time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one
Then walk out the door
And you think you can run around having fun
And just come back for more
I think you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
So if you try it one more time
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

Boy, I hope you see before too late
I won't play the fool - no not this time
And I'll show you just how wrong you are
To think I just can't get you out of my mind

So you think that you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run around
and come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasu
It's got to be them or me
And if you dis me once more
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

You can't just dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear you playing around when you wanna
Anytime that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want ah
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
