Essential

I'm in the mood to end these empty days
Ever when I, you stare down, romancin'
Everytime I see your face, hopeless - colder than ice
With no more flame
I think our love has reached the part of no return
It?s so sad when lovers don't see

Eye to eye, a look says everything
Eye to eye, so close, so far away

That distant look is all you've got to say
Everytime I try to talk to you
Every word is lost in space
Drifting further apart in every way
We've come to be the ones that love is out of sight
It's so clear that we just don't see

Eye to eye, a look says everything
Eye to eye, so close, so far away

There's no reason for this heartache
To go on and on, when the feeling?s gone
I can say now, that it's to late
To try and change your mind

Eye to eye, a look says everything
Eye to eye, so close, so far away

Whatever you want,
Whatever you need,
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally
Cause I'm every woman
It's all in me.
It's all in me, yeah!

I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally.

I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
I can read your thoughts right now,
Every one from A to Z.

I can cast a spell,
Of secrets you can tell,
Mix a special brew,
Put fire inside of you.
Anytime you feel danger or fear,
Then instantly
I will appear 'cause...

I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally.

I can sense your needs
Like rain unto the seeds.
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind.
And when it comes back to some good old-fashioned love,
I've got it, I've got it, I've got it, got it, baby, 'cause...

I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally.

I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
I can read your thoughts right now,
Every one from A to Z.

I ain't braggin' 'cause I am the one
You just ask me, oo, it shall be done.
And don't bother to compare,
I've got it.

I'm every woman...

I'm puttin' on my makeup
It's time to wake up
The owners of the night are calling me
I'm ready and I'm willing
To pull out the happy feeling
Something special's in the air for me

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
An angel in my pocket, right?
Feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
Gonna let this magic shine

[CHORUS]
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine

I feel like winning
i don't know the reason
Something telling me to let it ride
Got me rockin' and reeling
I don't know what the deal is
Something special I just can't describe

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
On my way to paradise
Feels so fine
Feels just like the first time
Gonna gonna let this magic shine

[CHORUS]
This is my night, this is my night, this is my night
The night is young, let it shine (come out)
This is, this is my night, this, this is my night!
This is my my my my my night, my my my...

This feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
I'm gonna let this magic shine
Let it shine, let it shine

This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (my night)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine, oh)
My night, let it shine This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine on me, shine on me)

So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?

So I talk a little too much and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace,
And I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace,
And I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

Love of a lifetime
Good for you (heart of change)
Got to be the heart of change
Good for me - a heart of change
I know we'll get it better
Stir it up (got to be)
Stir it tender heartedly
Stir it and
The whole world's gettin' better

[Bridge]
I believe the world to be
Fast and ever changing
That's the way my love will be
Got to last and satisfy me

[Chorus]
You got the love of a lifetime
You're such a rock steady lover, baby
Keep up the good love for chaka
You can hold it, boy
'cause you don't let it go

Good for you
Good for me
The way we work together
Short and sweet (hit and run)
I know where you're comin' from
We can steal
And baby, we'll hit and run together

[Bridge]

We got the love of a lifetime
Ooh, we're such rock steady lovers, baby
Keep up the good love together
We can hold it, boy
And never let it go

We got the love of a lifetime
We got to keep on rockin' steady
I really think I'm ready now
Baby, I'm burnin', burnin', burnin'

You got the love of a lifetime
You're such a rock steady lover, baby
Keep up the good love for chaka
You can hold it, boy, never let it go
We got the love of a lifetime
Ooh, we're such rock steady lovers, baby
Keep up the good love together
Hold it, boy

Love of a lifetime
(love of a lifetime)
We got the love, we got the love
We got the love
Guess it's just a heart of change
We got the love, we got the love
We got the love
It's got to be a heart of change
We got the love, we got the love...

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning
When she says hello to the world.
Got to be there, got to be there,
Bring her good times and show her that she's my girl.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me.
Cause when I look in her eyes.
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning,
And welcome her into my world, and show her that she's my girl.
When she says hello world!
Got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there
When she needs someone to keep her through the night.
Got to be there, got to be there, to take her hand and lead her into my life.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me
Cause when I look in her eyes,
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
That's why I've got to be there,
Got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere she goes,
I've got to be there so she knows that when she's with me she's home.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning
When she says hello to the world.

Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

Spendin' all my time
With you on my mind
I think it's time that we made the score
Oh it makes me crazy
This anticipating
Cause I'm loving you more and more

One by one the lonely hours slip away
I'd like to be your fun and games
Brighten up your day, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[CHORUS:]
Any old Sunday, any old Sunday will do (so what are you waiting for?)
Any old Sunday, any old Sunday will do (so what are you waiting for?)

I'm waitin' for the time
To feel your arms around me (so what are you waiting for?)
Time keeps passing
I'm yours for the asking
Because our love is an open door
Stop cultivating, stop hesitating
No more questions in my mind
You can be so lovely
Our love will be like honey to the bee
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
