Best of Tevin Campbell

Baby, don't stand there in the doorway
With all your bags ready to go
Baby sit down, and let's talk it over
Oh I need to know

What do you think you're gonna find?
A man that treats you sweeter
What are you looking for?
A place where the grass grows greener
The world is cold out there
I'm the one who really cares

Don't say goodbye girl
Take a look inside and read my mind girl
Everything I do, I do for you
Don't leave me crying, crying

Maybe my crime was caring 'bout you
Wanting you close by my side
Maybe you need some space around you
Some room to fly

Don't ever think I'll hold you back
My love will lift you higher
And when you call my name
I'll be there right beside you
Together we'll get by
Give this love another try

Don't say goodbye girl
Take a look inside and read my mind girl
Everything I do, I do for you
Don't leave me crying, crying

Baby you know you mean the world to me
(You mean the world to me)
I never loved nobody the way that I love you
(Never loved nobody)
The way it feels when I'm close to you
(Feels so good baby)
When I'm holding you touching you

What do you think you're gonna find?
No man could treat you sweeter
Just wait and you will see
We'll make the grass grow greener
The world is cold out there
I'm the one who really cares

Don't say Don't say goodbye girl
Take a look inside and read my mind girl
Everything I do, I do for you
Don't leave me crying, crying

Don't say goodbye girl
Take a look inside and read my mind girl
Everything I do, I do for you
Don't leave me crying, crying

If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease

One hymn, one theme, one hope, one dream
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing one song
If we all learn the words

Just think how great the song would be
And since the song is in freedom's key
One voice you'd hear, so pure, so clear
Imagine what tomorrow would bring

If we all sing one song
There's just one sun that warms our day
The same moon and stars light our way
This little ball whirling in space

It's our only home, our only place
If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease

Imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing one song
If we all sing one song

One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease
Imagine what tomorrow would bring

Just imagine what tomorrow would bring
Just imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing
If we all sing
One Song!

Yo, what's up?
Leave your name and a brief message
And I'll be sure to get back with you, peace
"Tevin, I love you"

Shhh, break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no they better not dare
Shhh, we got to break it on down

In the day time, uh, uh, I think not
I'd rather do you after school
Like some homework, am I gettin' you hot?
In my bedroom? No, 'cause then we have to stop
Please don't stop

I'd rather wait 'til everyone's fast asleep then do
It in the kitchen on the table top, oh
We got to break it on down, oh baby

Shhh, break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no they better not dare
Shhh, we got to break it on down

Can you hear me?
We got to break it on down

Candlelight? No, I don't think so
The crackle of the flame will just spoil the flow
Besides, I can be your fire, baby
Drippin' all over like a ball of wax, relax and let go

Shhh, ooh, break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no they better not dare
Shhh, we got to break it on down

Oh, goin' down
We got to break it on down
Break it down, baby

I'm here to do work, baby, so what you here to do?
I know you got somethin' special on your mind, is that true? Yeah
I'm here to do work, baby and I wanna do it with you

You say you wanna slow jam? Then listen up girl
I wanna whisper music in your ear
That'll rock your, rock your, rock your world, oh
What's my name, love? Tevin
I'll ask you again and again and again and again
'Til you scream, scream it, scream it, oh yeah

Break it on down, what's my name, baby?
Hear the sound, this is a secret, private affair
Nobody will know, better not dare
Oh yeah, you got to break it on down, down and down, oh
You got to break it on down
If you with this then let me hear you say, oh

Shhh, break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no they better not dare
We got to break it on down, oh oh
We got to break it on down
I'm ready, are you?

Say, lady, can I ask you why
You're treating me like a step child
With a future not so bright
I thought you said
You would never be that way to me
You said you'd never leave me for the rest of my life

I believe you all the times you said, baby
You're always on my mind
I don't believe you
So save those words you said to me
And I'll be on my way
I've got to say goodbye baby

[Bridge:]
You didn't want my love
That's what starts the pain, baby
You didn't need my love
I think that's your game

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, goodbye
You'd never be that way to me
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I've got a love that you will never see, hey

I guess you thought you had me strung out on your love
Simply because you're oh so fine
It takes more than looks to steal my heart away from me
So I'm sorry, baby the joke's on you this time

[Bridge]

You didn't want me love
You didn't want me love
That's what starts the pain
That's what starts the pain
You didn't want me love
You didn't want me love
I think that's your game

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye
I've got to say goodbye
I've got a love that you will never see
Here we go
I'm on a rampage
This is my stage
'Cause I'm the T, to the E, to the V, to the I, to the N
That's where it starts, here we go

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye

Early in the mornin' 'round 3 a.m.
Lyin' with a girl named Kim
With a glass of gin, sippin' on it
'Bout to hit the skins, now I'm all in
Telephone ring, was a girl named Jane
From around the way
How could I forget, down in my car
"Is it time to quit," runnin' through my head
I ain't tryin' to run around no more
Sick and tired of losin' track of score
Every time I turn around
The same old game another day
Thinkin' I just want to settle down
Tired of livin' foul, it's over now
Said to myself
"There's got to be another way"
Later in the day, next day
This was a girl named Trace
Drinkin' ???, spreadin' her legs
Drinkin' ???, callin' my name
Telephone rings she said that
It was a friend on the other end
Sound masculine, couldn't believe
How could I pretend, didn't hurt me
Finally I can see
There's another life for me
I don't want to live this way
I feel it's time I made a change
I believe I can be (Ho...ho...ho...)
A better man and I don't need
Every woman in the world
I gotta find myself a girl
I ain't tryin' to run around no more
Sick and tired of losin' track of score
Every time I turn around
The same old game another day
Thinkin' I just want to settle down (Mmm, hmm)
Tired of livin' foul, it's over now
Said to myself
"There's got to be another way" (Gotta be another way)
I ain't tryin' to run around no more
Sick and tired of losin' track of score (Mmm, I really believe)
Every time I turn around
The same old game another day
Thinkin' I just want to settle down (The same old game)
Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (Same old game)
Said to myself
"There's got to be another way" (I believe there's got to be another way
for me)
Got to be another way
Got to be another way, yeah...yeah...yeah...uh-huh, yeah
Mmm, hmm, oh, yeah
There's got to be another way
Another way, another way
I ain't tryin' to run around no more (Oh)
Sick and tired of losin' track of score
Every time I turn around (Every time I turn around)
The same old game another day (I see the same old thing)
Thinkin' I just want to settle down
Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (People playin' the same old game)
Said to myself (And I don't need it anymore)
"There's got to be another way" (I need to find another way)
I ain't tryin' to run around no more (Another way)
Sick and tired of losin' track of score (Another way)
Every time I turn around (Another way)
The same old game another day (No other way)
Thinkin' I just want to settle down (No other way)
Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Said to myself
"There's got to be another way"

[Verse 1:]
Girl we've been the best of friends
I never want that feeling to end
But you've got to know what's been on my mind cause I've been holdin back baby
For the longest time
Every night I lay alone in my bed
Pictures of loving you runnin round my head
Now baby it's time to let you know
That want you
That I need you
And I never want to let you go

[Chorus:]
What do I say
What do I do
Tell me baby just to get next to you
What do I say
What do I do
Tell me baby just to get next to you
What do I say

Verse 2:
Maybe you'll turn and walk away
That's a chance that I've got to take
Said I've got to know do you want me to
Cause I won't ever be free baby till I know the truth
We always talk about the good times that we had
But girl tonight let's talk about what lies ahead
Cause baby when I look into your eyes
I want to touch you
I want to hug
I want to love you for the rest of my life baby

What do I say
What do I do
Tell me baby just to get next to you
I want to know what do I say
What do I do girl
Tell me baby just to get next to you
What do I say

[Hook:]
Every night I lay alone in my bed
Pictures of me lovin you runnin round and round and round my head
And baby when I look into your eyes
I want to touch you

I want to love you for the rest of my life

What do I say
What do I do baby
Tell me baby tell me baby just to get next to you yeah

Oooh baby what do I say

Where do they get off telling you
that I am not the least bit into
Just tell me how the hell the can tell you they know what's in my heart
What do they get from telling you
that I don't give a damn about you
Just tell me why the hell somebody wants to tear your heart apart

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Why do some people have to tell you lies
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I love you more than words could ever show
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't explain
Why do some people have to be that way
I can't take much more, I can't ignore
I have to let you know what's in my heart

If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
You should know that from this moment you are always in my heart
If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
love you
You'll be always in my heart

They're not the ones to be there for you
When you need someone to turn to
They won't be anywhere, be anywhere when things start falling down
Oh, yeah
They're only in it to confuse you
So they can turn around and use you
But it can't happen, it won't happen girl as long as I'm around

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Why do some people have to tell you lies
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I love you more than words could ever show
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't explain
Why do some people have to be that way
I can't take much more, I can't ignore
I have to let you know what's in my heart

If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
You should know that from this moment you are always in my heart
If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
love you
You'll be always in my heart

Oh, why
Why, why, why
Yeah
Why did you have to listen to the lies
Oh, girl
My sweet girl
Well, there is only you inside my world
Oh, please
Baby, please
I wish you could believe in me
Right now
Right now
If only you could know

If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
You should know that from this moment you are always in my heart
If I never ever say that I love you
Just remember, girl, I'm saying I do
love you
You'll be always in my heart
