I know you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
And if you just shut the door
I would not be surprised
Even though I know you've heard it
These words I'm tryin' to say
I think the others only flirted
With the true meaning of always
[Chorus:]
Well you can say what you wanna
But I ain't gonna
Stop this journey to the center of your heart
I see the candle through your window
It burns there every night
The shadow leaves an innuendo
Of no one holdin' you right
Many nights I've dreamt you near me
But awakened to you gone
I know one day you'll hear me
I don't care how long
[Chorus]
I've waited a lifetime baby
Just to know your name
We've done everything in our minds
Let's stop the game, lets stop it
Even though I know
You've heard these words I'm tryin' to say
Somehow I think these others
They only flirted with the true meaning of always
I'll Never B Another Fool lyrics - Chaka Khan
I'll never open my legs again
To a man who's insecure
I'll never open my legs again
Unless I'm really sure
[Chorus:]
No I'll never, never
Never be another fool
Sad but true, I slept with you
I thought we were in love
I even got me a rose tatoo
But that was not enough
[Chorus]
Never, no!
Never, never, never
Nothing but the best of me
I gave with open arms
Alive and well, I'm back from hell
Released from your charms
(It's time to go)
Scene 23, exit, fade to black
Tel me, why'd you have to come back
This love you need to fade
Leave the best to yesterday
If this only one thing is true
I ain't gonna be another fool
Never be another fool
You think about callin'? - Don't!
To a man who's insecure
I'll never open my legs again
Unless I'm really sure
[Chorus:]
No I'll never, never
Never be another fool
Sad but true, I slept with you
I thought we were in love
I even got me a rose tatoo
But that was not enough
[Chorus]
Never, no!
Never, never, never
Nothing but the best of me
I gave with open arms
Alive and well, I'm back from hell
Released from your charms
(It's time to go)
Scene 23, exit, fade to black
Tel me, why'd you have to come back
This love you need to fade
Leave the best to yesterday
If this only one thing is true
I ain't gonna be another fool
Never be another fool
You think about callin'? - Don't!
Democrazy lyrics - Chaka Khan
I got a problem with democracy
Don't know what it really means
A livin' lie, devoid of honesty
Where nothing's really what it seems
I'm in a funky situation
Doom is lurkin' ever nearer
I'm waiting for a revelation
Each day the signs are getting' clearer
Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
A grizzly affair
Caught unaware
Why am I so scared
Where have all the flowers gone?
I've got a problem with democracy
So where exactly do I stand?
Who is this dark cloud hangin' over me?
It ain't from God; it must be a man
He is the one that you will seldom see
The new world order is his name
He's got a plan in mind for you and me
There are no winners in this game
Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
And I'm standin' here
Tryin' to lose the fear
For this I would die
The truth will open up my eyes
Love will set you free from democracy
Supreme power invested in the people
Is a bit extreme
The highest rank of authority
Only God is Supreme!
Don't know what it really means
A livin' lie, devoid of honesty
Where nothing's really what it seems
I'm in a funky situation
Doom is lurkin' ever nearer
I'm waiting for a revelation
Each day the signs are getting' clearer
Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
A grizzly affair
Caught unaware
Why am I so scared
Where have all the flowers gone?
I've got a problem with democracy
So where exactly do I stand?
Who is this dark cloud hangin' over me?
It ain't from God; it must be a man
He is the one that you will seldom see
The new world order is his name
He's got a plan in mind for you and me
There are no winners in this game
Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
And I'm standin' here
Tryin' to lose the fear
For this I would die
The truth will open up my eyes
Love will set you free from democracy
Supreme power invested in the people
Is a bit extreme
The highest rank of authority
Only God is Supreme!
I Remember U lyrics - Chaka Khan
I remember you
From a long time ago
When my eyes were new
It could be just a feeling
But I don't think so
I'm trusting all my senses
That's how I know
I remember you
I remember you
A warm and simple memory
Soft and all aglow
Like a mother's love
That every baby knows
I've listened to my heart
And it tells me so
I remember you
From a long time ago
When my eyes were new
It could be just a feeling
But I don't think so
I'm trusting all my senses
That's how I know
I remember you
I remember you
A warm and simple memory
Soft and all aglow
Like a mother's love
That every baby knows
I've listened to my heart
And it tells me so
I remember you
Reconsider (U Betta) lyrics - Chaka Khan
Please forgive me
I don't know what to say except I'm sorry
To scare you away from me
I get crazy and don't know what I've done
It's all hazy
Thought we were having fun
Was it so bad
You feel you had to leave me, baby
Now that you're gone
I need to belong, believe me baby
[Chorus:]
I would be so glad
If you would reconsider and stay
Reconsider, reconsider, reconsider
Baby's cryin'
It'so cold in our place
Inside I'm dyin'
We need the smile on your face
Don't need no money
I don't need no girlfriends
Want my daddy
To love me again and again and again and
[Chorus]
Sometimes honey
I know I talk too loud
Short temper
I'm apt to cuss you ou
I don't mean it
Passion gets the best of me
Still I love you
And I feel like you love me too
[Chorus]
If you walk out that door
You betta reconsider this
If you don't call me no more
You betta reconsider, reconsider that
Reconsider
If you think you were lonely before, you betta
Reconsider, reconsider this
That I changed the lock on this door, you betta
Reconsider that
If you stop payin' these bills, you gotta
Reconsider
I betcha somebody will, you betta
Reconside
I don't know what to say except I'm sorry
To scare you away from me
I get crazy and don't know what I've done
It's all hazy
Thought we were having fun
Was it so bad
You feel you had to leave me, baby
Now that you're gone
I need to belong, believe me baby
[Chorus:]
I would be so glad
If you would reconsider and stay
Reconsider, reconsider, reconsider
Baby's cryin'
It'so cold in our place
Inside I'm dyin'

Reconsider that
If you stop payin' these bills, you gotta

Don't Talk 2 Strangers lyrics - Chaka Khan
Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future all planned out
Got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
But that's just the way it goes
Before I leave you, there's just a few
Things you should know
Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on the yellow
You always got to wait for a green light
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't worry, you'll be just fine
When it comes to good luck
I just know you'll always be first in line
Nobody will ever love you as much as I do
But that doesn't mean other people won't love you, too
Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future all planned out
Got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
But that's just the way it goes
Before I leave you, there's just a few
Things you should know
Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on the yellow
You always got to wait for a green light
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't worry, you'll be just fine
When it comes to good luck
I just know you'll always be first in line
Nobody will ever love you as much as I do
But that doesn't mean other people won't love you, too
Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Hair lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Larry Graham)
People ask me everywhere
"Is that really all your hair?"
I just tell `em, "If it ain't
Then it sure don't mean
That now I can't"
I just don't believe it's fair
To judge a girl by the length of her hair
Take two words like "hip" and "square"
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can almost see
What's outside you and inside me
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry
Black or blond or nappy or fair -
You can't judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I'd wear a wig up under my hair
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry
"Is that really all your hair?"
I just tell `em, "If it ain't
Then it sure don't mean
That now I can't"
I just don't believe it's fair
To judge a girl by the length of her hair
Take two words like "hip" and "square"
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can almost see
What's outside you and inside me
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry
Black or blond or nappy or fair -
You can't judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I'd wear a wig up under my hair
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry
The Drama lyrics - Chaka Khan
In this ever-changing world
Where things become unfurled
And tethered
Like a lioness in her pride
I was gonna stay by your side
Forever
As a planet keeps her moon
Your love I had assumed
And taken
And if this love can't come to pass
Then I would be alas
Forsaken
[Chorus:]
The drama of the chase
The look upon your face
Make up your mind
It would be a waste
If you didn't love me
It would be the drama of all time
If I'm not good enough for you
What else could I do?
I could change
You know, they say like wine
You get better with passin' time
How strange :.
I wish that in your eyes
You saw me like the others
See me
I could never say enough
Darlin' just how much I
Wish you'd keep me
[Chorus]
Drama, drama of all time
It's been ten long years
Since I fell in love so dear
It's got to be the drama of all time
Called you on the telephone
And wondered if you were alone
It's got to be the drama of all time
When I called you back, it was busy
What was that?
It's a drama, drama of all time
Who were you with last night?
Busy, busy, you must be busier
Than a one-legged man in a kick fight
Got to be the drama of all time
Drama, drama of all time
Where things become unfurled
And tethered
Like a lioness in her pride
I was gonna stay by your side
Forever
As a planet keeps her moon
Your love I had assumed
And taken
And if this love can't come to pass
Then I would be alas
Forsaken
[Chorus:]
The drama of the chase
The look upon your face
Make up your mind
It would be a waste
If you didn't love me
It would be the drama of all time
If I'm not good enough for you
What else could I do?
I could change
You know, they say like wine
You get better with passin' time
How strange :.
I wish that in your eyes
You saw me like the others
See me
I could never say enough
Darlin' just how much I
Wish you'd keep me
[Chorus]
Drama, drama of all time
It's been ten long years
Since I fell in love so dear
It's got to be the drama of all time
Called you on the telephone
And wondered if you were alone
It's got to be the drama of all time
When I called you back, it was busy
What was that?
It's a drama, drama of all time
Who were you with last night?
Busy, busy, you must be busier
Than a one-legged man in a kick fight
Got to be the drama of all time
Drama, drama of all time
Everything Changes lyrics - Chaka Khan
Everybody wants you
You got it goin' on and you know it's not fair
All the ladies want to
Profess their love to you and yet you really don't care
You might think you have everything
Whether you do or not, I think that you forgot that...
[Chorus:]
Everything changes
Left to right
Cold gets hot
Everything changes
One day will turn to night
Whether you like it or not
Now I am no authority
But I've been around and I've seen a lot
Love's the one priority
Either settle down or lose the little you've got
We don't have forever
It's now or never so shoot your best shot
[Chorus]
It's no good
To keep on holdin' back
All those good emotions
I'll be there for you
You might think you have everything
Whether you know or not, I think that you forgot that...
You got it goin' on and you know it's not fair
All the ladies want to
Profess their love to you and yet you really don't care
You might think you have everything
Whether you do or not, I think that you forgot that...
[Chorus:]
Everything changes
Left to right
Cold gets hot
Everything changes
One day will turn to night
Whether you like it or not
Now I am no authority
But I've been around and I've seen a lot
Love's the one priority
Either settle down or lose the little you've got
We don't have forever
It's now or never so shoot your best shot
[Chorus]
It's no good
To keep on holdin' back
All those good emotions
I'll be there for you
You might think you have everything
Whether you know or not, I think that you forgot that...
Give Me All lyrics - Chaka Khan
I wanna get deeper
Deeper than skin
I wanna be more than
Just another friend
I'm ready to love you
With all of my heart
But I won't give it if you
Can't do your part
[Chorus:]
A little bit just ain't it
Give me all
A little love is not enough
Give me all
[Bridge:]
Need your lovin'
Need your kissin'
Don't want nothin'
To be missin'
You're givin' me portions
You wanna move fast
What you're giving
Is never gonna last
I wanna be closer
I need to have more
'Cause I'm gonna love you
Like no one before
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm on fire babe
You wanna build me up
Just to let me down
Deeper than skin
I wanna be more than
Just another friend

Can't do your part
[Chorus:]
A little bit just ain't it
Give me all
A little love is not enough
Give me all

I need to have more
'Cause I'm gonna love you
Like no one before
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm on fire babe
You wanna build me up
Just to let me down

Keep Givin' Me Lovin' lyrics - Chaka Khan
Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Time after time, I've pondered this love that I'm feeling
I feel so divine
It must be a crime
Don't take it away

More than a few told me "I love you"
Now I know better
When it got down to you
Somehow I knew
My number was up for some sweet sweet lovin'

Facts Of Love lyrics - Chaka Khan
Back when we first met
I think it was November
I remember thinking that
You had the sweetest smile
Magic
You have it
Command me I'll obey
It's just a fact of love
Mold me
Control me
I'm only made of clay
It's a fact of love
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wonder what is this love
At once so delightful and frightening
Thunder and lightening (love)
The facts of love
With those moody broody eyes
You could be Svengali
Just one touch - I'm mesmerized
I just can't help myself
You want it
You got it
You only have to say
It's a fact of love
You make me feel like I'm only made of clay
A fact of love
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder
About the facts of love
I sit and wonder
About the facts of love
I think it was November
I remember thinking that
You had the sweetest smile
Magic
You have it
Command me I'll obey
It's just a fact of love
Mold me
Control me
I'm only made of clay
It's a fact of love
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wonder what is this love
At once so delightful and frightening
Thunder and lightening (love)
The facts of love
With those moody broody eyes
You could be Svengali
Just one touch - I'm mesmerized
I just can't help myself
You want it
You got it
You only have to say
It's a fact of love
You make me feel like I'm only made of clay
A fact of love
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder
About the facts of love
I sit and wonder
About the facts of love
Love You All My Lifetime lyrics - Chaka Khan
Cold endless summer days
Since you went away
Tore my heart in two
And now wandering through the night
I see the city lights
Feelin' so in need
I'll never be at peace
[Chorus:]
Love you all my lifetime
Lost to you eternally
Everything in my life
Tells me we were meant to be
Strange there's always something wrong
Dreams don't last that long
What part did I play in that game
And now, now you turn away
Excuses are too late
Feelin' so in need, i'll never be at peace
[Chorus]
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky
Since you went away
Tore my heart in two
And now wandering through the night
I see the city lights
Feelin' so in need
I'll never be at peace
[Chorus:]
Love you all my lifetime
Lost to you eternally
Everything in my life
Tells me we were meant to be
Strange there's always something wrong
Dreams don't last that long
What part did I play in that game
And now, now you turn away
Excuses are too late
Feelin' so in need, i'll never be at peace
[Chorus]
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in my sky

You Can Make The Story Right lyrics - Chaka Khan
It's five a.m. when you walk in
This is where your story begins
You say you've been out with the fellas
But the perfume tells me where you've been
Well I knew for sure, when you walked through the door
You had another lover
I read the signs, but I tried to hide
All the pain I felt inside
You can make the story right
I believe what you say though you tell me lies
You can make the story right
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you, oh...
Same old song, same old story
You keep telling me lies
You think I don't mind that you're unfaithful
But you never see the tears I cry
You've been letting me down, but I can't give you up
I don't wanna let you go
We've spent so much time, trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we have
(You can make the story right)
You can make the story right
(I believe what you say, though you tell me lies)
I believe what you tell me
(You can make the story right)
Oh, oh...
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you
You've been lettin' me down, but I can't give you up
Don't want another lover
We've spent so much time trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we had
This is where your story begins
You say you've been out with the fellas
But the perfume tells me where you've been
Well I knew for sure, when you walked through the door
You had another lover
I read the signs, but I tried to hide
All the pain I felt inside
You can make the story right
I believe what you say though you tell me lies
You can make the story right
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you, oh...
Same old song, same old story
You keep telling me lies
You think I don't mind that you're unfaithful
But you never see the tears I cry
You've been letting me down, but I can't give you up
I don't wanna let you go
We've spent so much time, trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we have
(You can make the story right)
You can make the story right
(I believe what you say, though you tell me lies)
I believe what you tell me
(You can make the story right)
Oh, oh...
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you
You've been lettin' me down, but I can't give you up
Don't want another lover
We've spent so much time trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we had
Be My Eyes lyrics - Chaka Khan
Big brown bedroom eyes
They're bad for me
Reluctantly you hit me
To my vulnerability
I don't like this feeling
'Cause I can't see straight
Something says I met my match
Courtesy of fate
I've always taken pride
In my independence
So afraid and careful
Not to show it
No - but you give me clarity
Like a bright green laser beam
I think you want what's best for me
In spite of my resistance
Be my eyes
Sing me, I'm your song
Make me wise, baby
I'll be strong
Constantly the ones we love scorn us
It's not for them to comprehend
It's none of their business
Misery loves company
I think you really know me
And there's no coincidence
My mama must have made me
So we would find each other
They're bad for me
Reluctantly you hit me
To my vulnerability
I don't like this feeling
'Cause I can't see straight
Something says I met my match
Courtesy of fate
I've always taken pride
In my independence
So afraid and careful
Not to show it
No - but you give me clarity
Like a bright green laser beam
I think you want what's best for me
In spite of my resistance
Be my eyes
Sing me, I'm your song
Make me wise, baby
I'll be strong
Constantly the ones we love scorn us
It's not for them to comprehend
It's none of their business
Misery loves company
I think you really know me
And there's no coincidence
My mama must have made me
So we would find each other
This Time lyrics - Chaka Khan
One heart
One hand
One woman
One man
To love
To live together
This time
This place
This lifelong embrace
Could last
Could be forever
This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time
To trust
To care
To dream and
To dare
Believe in
Something better
This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time
Here because the angels smiled on us
The angels smiled on us...this time
Here because we're the ones who shine
We're the ones who shine...this time
One hand
One woman
One man
To love
To live together
This time
This place
This lifelong embrace
Could last
Could be forever
This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time
To trust
To care
To dream and
To dare
Believe in
Something better
This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time
Here because the angels smiled on us
The angels smiled on us...this time
Here because we're the ones who shine
We're the ones who shine...this time
The Woman I Am lyrics - Chaka Khan
Hey sister
I never knew which way to go
Everybody had an answer
So I said
Go lecture someone, go lecture someone
I could feel it in my heart babe
I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
I had to find out in my own way
Ran into someone - ran into someone
I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go
I had to learn to trust myself
I had to learn just when to say no
Always trying to please someone else
I had to let go, I had to let go
The world is filled of many wonders
I had to look to heaven for my own
I saw the star that I was unter
Lord lead me back home, lead me back home
I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go
I can look at myself and I'm not afraid
I have finally learned how to love
I can feel everything that I've never felt
And I'm sure now that I've always known
I never knew which way to go
Everybody had an answer
So I said
Go lecture someone, go lecture someone
I could feel it in my heart babe
I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
I had to find out in my own way
Ran into someone - ran into someone
I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go
I had to learn to trust myself
I had to learn just when to say no
Always trying to please someone else
I had to let go, I had to let go
The world is filled of many wonders
I had to look to heaven for my own
I saw the star that I was unter
Lord lead me back home, lead me back home
I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go
I can look at myself and I'm not afraid
I have finally learned how to love
I can feel everything that I've never felt
And I'm sure now that I've always known
Love With No Strings lyrics - Chaka Khan
I, I can't explain
How ya got inside my system
But I feel the sweetest pain
I, I can't do that
But I got to break this tension
If it makes you feel the same
An ordinary woman
That's all I am
And I think I'm falling
For an ordinary man
Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I can only try
To make a love with no strings
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We're making love with no strings
No conductor
Could've played this situation
Better than a fool or millionaire
I won't tie you down
With a little love and affection
All I wanna do is share
A little time together
Maybe holding hands
An ordinary woman
And an ordinary man
Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I could say goodbye
And we'll always be friends
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We got a love with no strings
How ya got inside my system
But I feel the sweetest pain
I, I can't do that
But I got to break this tension
If it makes you feel the same
An ordinary woman
That's all I am
And I think I'm falling
For an ordinary man
Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I can only try
To make a love with no strings
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We're making love with no strings
No conductor
Could've played this situation
Better than a fool or millionaire
I won't tie you down
With a little love and affection
All I wanna do is share
A little time together
Maybe holding hands
An ordinary woman
And an ordinary man
Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I could say goodbye
And we'll always be friends
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We got a love with no strings
Don't Look At Me That Way lyrics - Chaka Khan
Another time you were the one in my life
And this world of mine just turned around you
Another time you were the love of my life
That was so long ago
Now you're here
And those feelings are starting to reappear
Another time I would've run to you
I finally learned that I could love somebody new
And now I'm finally over you
But don't look at me that way
'Coz I'm trying to be strong
And I'm begging you baby
Don't you look at me that way
'Coz if you look at me now
It just might be more that I can take
Got someone, somebody new in my life
I've got someone who cares about me
And what we had is only what used to be
I'm happy now, happy with someone else
But when you're close I know the flame has never died
And now it's burning me alive
So Don't look at me that way
'Coz I'm trying to be strong
And I'm begging you baby
Don't you look at me that way
'Coz if you look at me now
It just might be more that I can take
I finally learned that I could love somebody new
And now I'm finally over you
Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) lyrics - Chaka Khan
Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if you love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Seen lot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing for this girl
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
[Chorus:]
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Oh baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Now I'm wondering if you love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Seen lot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing for this girl
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
[Chorus:]
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Oh baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Soul Talkin' lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Bobby McFerrin)
Some girls need emotion
Some girls just want some fun
Some look for devotion
Some just wanna run
Some crave for affection
Burnin' up inside
Some need the direction
For the world outside
You can dance the dance 'til the mornin' comes
But I'll tell you where I'm comin' from
[Chorus:]
I wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'
It's the heart of the matter
It's the root of the cause
It's the still of the moment
It's that heavenly pause
Well I don't need a savior
And I don't need a slave
I just want to hear you
Through that magnetic wave
What I need is a link to the inner mind
If you want to know my bottom line
It's My Party lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Cecil Womack)
Everybody's having a real good time
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'
[Chorus:]
It's my party, I'll start it, I'll end it
Baby, it's my party, I'm upset and offended
While I'm all alone, and the party's goin' strong
It's a celebration, to better our relation
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Kit got lost, and I found him all involved
He was wearing a guilty face
He had his arms around her waist
And lipstick on his face
[Chorus]
Everybody's having a real good time
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'
Say you had too much to drink
Lost your head and couldn't think
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Then you got lost, and I found you all involved
Wearing a guilty face
Had your arms around her waist
And lipstick on your face
[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what it is
[Chaka:] Ooh, you had lipstick on your face
[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what'd you see
[Chaka:] Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
[Cecil:] Oh baby, what it's gonna be
[Chaka:] Gonna stop this music playing
[Cecil:] Oh, do you trust in me
[Chaka:] It's very plain to see
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'
[Chorus:]
It's my party, I'll start it, I'll end it
Baby, it's my party, I'm upset and offended
While I'm all alone, and the party's goin' strong
It's a celebration, to better our relation
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Kit got lost, and I found him all involved
He was wearing a guilty face
He had his arms around her waist
And lipstick on his face
[Chorus]
Everybody's having a real good time
The man you're talking to is not yours, he's mine
Better chill out, hear what I'm saying
Before I stop the music playin'
Say you had too much to drink
Lost your head and couldn't think
A sudden flash in my vision
Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
Then you got lost, and I found you all involved
Wearing a guilty face
Had your arms around her waist
And lipstick on your face
[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what it is
[Chaka:] Ooh, you had lipstick on your face
[Cecil:] Oh, tell me what'd you see
[Chaka:] Rendezvousin' in the kitchen
[Cecil:] Oh baby, what it's gonna be
[Chaka:] Gonna stop this music playing
[Cecil:] Oh, do you trust in me
[Chaka:] It's very plain to see
Eternity lyrics - Chaka Khan
Seems like an eternity since I've been in your arms
A multitude of colorless hours pass
I crave the life inside U, it keeps me from harm
I only pray that it's not just another God
[Chorus:]
Eternity, I want 2 be with U 4 all eternity
Darling U be, the only one 4 me together 4 eternity
I long 2 touch U (I long 2 touch U)
To feel the warmth in a world so cold
Whenever we (ooh) -- I don't know
But I want U all the time (I wanna hold on)
U R the beginning middle and end 2 every story told
U R the science of my mind
[Chorus]
And it seems like a year away
That U and I were making love
One should take life from day 2 day
But all my dreams R made of
All my dreams R made of eternity
A multitude of colorless hours pass
I crave the life inside U, it keeps me from harm
I only pray that it's not just another God
[Chorus:]
Eternity, I want 2 be with U 4 all eternity
Darling U be, the only one 4 me together 4 eternity
I long 2 touch U (I long 2 touch U)
To feel the warmth in a world so cold
Whenever we (ooh) -- I don't know
But I want U all the time (I wanna hold on)
U R the beginning middle and end 2 every story told
U R the science of my mind
[Chorus]
And it seems like a year away
That U and I were making love
One should take life from day 2 day
But all my dreams R made of
All my dreams R made of eternity
Sticky Wicked lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Miles Davis)
[Chorus:]
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?
Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time 4 games
Sticky wicked
She just got a pair of tickets to the opera in her mind
No applause, no encore if she dies
[Chorus]
Kick it love, visions of her childhood
When her heart was gold
Sticky wicked
Tell me people what reason's good enough 2
Die before U're old? Kick it love, covenants of promise lay before your eyes
Stick wicked will trick U, lick U, then it kicks you aside!
[Chorus]
People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
Sticky wicked
Pretty stick wicked
(Scenario of a mother who can't remember her daughter's name)
Hey little baby, what's your name?
Oh ain't she cute?
Mama got 2 run today
I don't have time 4 games
No don't worry about me, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
If U want it, help is here today
There's a better God, don't U wanna play?
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?

The End Of A Love Affair lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. George Benson)
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?
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?
Baby Me lyrics - Chaka Khan
Baby, there's somethin' I like about you
You make me feel so wild and free
I don't know what you've been through
You're just crazy enough for me
And when you touch me I come undone
Do you do that to everyone?
[Chorus:]
Baby me, I'll baby you
I know that you're a big baby too
This world is crazy, you need someone to coo
Baby me and I'll baby you
Ooh, I'll baby you
It's past my bedtime, I can't sleep alone
Lay down beside me, I'll pull out the phone
Take me in your arms and rock me tonight
I'll tell you a story if you hold me tight
'Cause when you touch me I come undone
You better not do that to everyone!
You make me feel so wild and free
I don't know what you've been through
You're just crazy enough for me
And when you touch me I come undone
Do you do that to everyone?
[Chorus:]
Baby me, I'll baby you
I know that you're a big baby too
This world is crazy, you need someone to coo
Baby me and I'll baby you
Ooh, I'll baby you
It's past my bedtime, I can't sleep alone
Lay down beside me, I'll pull out the phone
Take me in your arms and rock me tonight
I'll tell you a story if you hold me tight
'Cause when you touch me I come undone
You better not do that to everyone!
