Affection

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)

Mighty love, mighty love

Spoken:
It's once in a lifetime, and this time, it's mine

Never ever, ever gonna let you go
'cause i'm always gonna love you
There's so much you haven't seen that i can show you
But i never wanna shove you
Maybe ladies come and maybe ladies go
(but i'll tell you) this lady's stayin'
And if you don't want to rush it we can take it slow

Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, this is

Chorus:
A mighty love, a mighty love
No push or shove, we're all dreamin' of
A mighty love, a mighty love
It's what we want, and there can never be no other love

I swear i'll never have you ride in back, in tow
(i swear) i'll never hurt you
Darlin' i could never be with anyone else
'cause you're all i need to know
And i won't ever let you go

Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, this is

Chorus

No one will ever know
Maybe ladies come and maybe ladies go
(but i'll tell you) this lady's stayin'
And if you don't want to rush it we can take it slow

Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, it's

Chorus

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/ a. morris)

Spoken:
People say they care, but when it come down to it
Do they have what i'm singing for

Let's sing it for
Sincerity
Sincerity

People, rushin' 'round in their lonely lives
They'd like to care for others, but frankly,
They don't have the time
'cause they're always doin' the things
They have to do so they'll be alright
Their always lookin' out for their own side
People think they've got priorities right

Chorus:
Sincerity
The road we need to travel for a better way of life
Sincerity
An attitude we need to take if we want to survive
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

Heartaches, everybody now and then
They're cryin' out for others,
To listen to them like a friend
But we're always sayin' we don't have the time
But we really sympathize, maybe another time
Don't think about tomorrow
Do it while you've got the chance

Chorus

Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

But we're always sayin' we don't have the time
We really sympathize, well, maybe another time
Don't think about tomorrow
Do it while you've got the chance

Chorus

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)

I ain't puttin' you in no cage
I ain't puttin' no chains on you, baby
The love in me

If you believe in love then you'll believe in me
'cause i'm everythin' you want
And baby, i'm everything you need
I know where you're coming from
'cause i'm a woman
I'm freer than the breeze
And fresher than the air that you breath

Ohhh, my heart is breakin'
Ohhh, when it's tired and achin' for love
I'll give you more

Chorus:
It's the love in me, has to be, all that you need
A love that less, can't possess
All that i have to set you free
The love in me

You'll always be free
To come and go as you please
'cause baby i know you'll
Always want to come back to me
Behind every good man there lies a woman
And incidentally, i'm the woman you need

Ohhh, my heart is breakin'
Ohhh, when it's tired and achin' for love
I'll give you more

Chorus x 2

I ain't puttin' no chains on you, baby
I ain't puttin' no chains on you

Ohhh, when your heart is breakin'
Ohhh, when it's tired and achin' for love
I'll give you more
Darlin'

Chorus

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)

It's the way you walk, and the way you talk
Now you're nothing near the way that you were
And there's something strange when you hold my hand
Tell my why you changed the way that we were
Tell my why you changed the way that we were

Could we be the same, could we try again

Chorus:
What did i do to you, baby?
What did i do to you, baby?
What did i do to you, what did i do to you?
What did i do to you, baby?

You never touch my skin, in the way you did
And you even changed the way you kiss me
When lovers part there's a change of heart
But my heart can't change the way that we were
Oh no, my heart can't change the way that we were

Could we be the same, could we try again

Chorus

Togetherness is when i undress
Never when we talk, never tenderness
And i can't forget all the joy we had
But i know we'll be the way we were
Yes, i know we'll be the way we were

Could we be the same, could we try again

Chorus

Help me back

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)

Spoken:
Don't worry about me, baby

Whenever you walk by me, i can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone
Darlin' don't deny it, or make excuses
I've heard too many lies, to know that i'm not wrong

Baby don't insult me
I'm too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free

Chorus:
Keep you're body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
You're poison
Can't you you see i'm far to tough to let it hurt
I've had enough of your poison

Don't lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
You've stained the love i gave you
Baby, not for long
So much i could have given you
But now you'll never know

Baby don't insult me
I'm too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free

Chorus

Got bad habits on your mind, you're underhanded
I'm not blind to your poison

Spoken:
Don't make me laugh, you've told so many lies
And of all the lies you told me, baby, you're the biggest

You think you've hurt me
I'm far too strong to let it get to me
Can't you see that i'm not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone

Chorus

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)

Just the way you walked, walked into my life
Then you walked right out, you were as cold as ice
How could you be mean, to treat me so unkind
Now i'm on my own, in a cold and lonely life

Chorus:
Wake up baby
Can't you see i'm half insane
Wake up baby
'cause you know i'm not to blame
You know you're crazy to throw it all away
So won't you wake up baby
Baby

Take the time to look, look into my eyes
Then you'll see this girl will always love you right
She will always try to give you what you need
So askin' you, i'm beggin' and i'm pleadin' with you

Chorus

Rap:
Can't you see you're just killin' me
I'm on my own and i'm all alone
Don't cha know that you're not at home
I can't sleep at night i get so uptight
Whatcha been is bad to me
If you had heart boy, you'd be smarter
Lied, cheated and mistreated
Listen baby, you're out of order

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/ a. morris)

Chorus:
Tell me when you're coming back
When are you comin' back, when are you coming back
When are you comin' back, when are you coming back
(when are you comin' home, baby, baby)
When are you comin' back, when are you coming back
When are you comin' back, when are you coming back

You were in my arms yesterday, and now you're gone
I still feel your lips on mine, still feel your touch
Safe inside your arms is where i want to be, can't stand this space
Boy, i'm gettin' lonely, and out of place

Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms

Chorus

I sit here and wait patently for the telephone
Funny how i miss you, and i miss you so
When you're not at home

Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms

Chorus x 2

Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Don't stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms

Chorus
