Ain't Nobody lyrics - Hard Lights, Chaka Khan & Lotus
I've been waitin' for you, it's been so long
I knew just what I would do, when I heard your song
Filled my heart with your kiss, you gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist, I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (love me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (love me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you
I wait for nighttime to come, and bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one, I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel, I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real, I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh, oh, oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody loves me)
Ain't nobody
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody loves me)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Christmas Only Once A Year lyrics - Chaka Khan
Open hearts and signs of love and joy
For every girl and boy
How easily we lose this feeling
We're together in this happy room
Santa's coming soon
I can see it in your eyes
Let's remember the way feel tonight
The tinsel shining bright
This is how it oughta be
Hearts are bouncing to and fro
Making angels in snow
So enchanting, and I just want to know
Why should Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
End up giving, make it from your heart
Loving is an art
Share it now before it's gone
Just remember, the lion and the lamb
And help us understand
What we've all been doing wrong
Kitchen smells of cinnamon
Sound of bells in winter wind
So enchanting, and I just want to know
Why should Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
When it's time to go, under mistletoe
Share a kiss, make a wish, and say so
Why must Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
How Many Lives To Go lyrics - Chaka Khan
When darkness falls
And only madness remains
Will no one hear
The voice that cries in pain?
How many lives to go
Before it's over
How can we stand
And watch again
Remember now
We've seen it all before
The sound of hate
The monstrous face of war
How many lives to go
Before it's over
Must we allow
One sorrow more
Say a prayer, and love, to show
The heart of man, which way to go
No heart, no more
Nothing but dark despair
And empty words
Are not enough to wear
How many lives to go
Before it's over
What will it take
To lift the veil
And have to face
The shame
We almost shared

(originally by Nina Simone)
I put a spell on you
'Cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do

When you're runnin' around
And you know better daddy

'Cause you're mine
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care if you don't want me baby
I'cause 'm yours right now
I put a spell on you
'Cause you're... you're mine

I'm Every Woman (short remake for International Women's Day) lyrics - Chaka Khan & Idina Menzel
I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything I want to do, I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can change my thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Anything I want to do
I'll do it naturally
Whoa, whoa, whoa

It's all in me
Anything I want to do

It's Not Over lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. LeCrae)
Know that you got problems
Feels like you're living on borrowed time
You think that you can solve them
You can still get heaven on the line
I'ma light a candle
Show you you can handle
Anything that takes your breath away
So don't you be nervous
We are still in service
By your head, it might be time to pray
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
It's never too late
You got to prove it
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
(Over)
Searching for a miracle
See it if you open up your eyes
Rushing like a waterfall
Cleanses you and bathes you in your life
I'ma light a candle
Show you you can handle
Anything that takes your breath away
So don't you be nervous
We are still in service
By your head, it might be time to pray
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
It's never too late
You got prove it to you
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(You're not alone)
It's not over, over
(Over)
It's not over, over
Yeah, I know what they told you
But hold on, ya, it ain't over
Your heart's hard tryin' to back it down
But you done come too far to start backing now and
You probably got a whole lot of questions
But sometimes not knowing is a blessing
So hold on, pray hard
The sun rise with a new great start
The world is yours, don't be afraid
Just lift your heart and walk this way
Believe me, there will come a day
But not today, no, not today
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
Never too late
You got to prove it
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
Over
Over, over, over, over, over
Over
Over, over, over, over, over
Over
Love Me Still lyrics - Chaka Khan
(from "Clockers" soundtrack)
Here is my hand for you to hold
Here's a part of me they have not sold
I've wandered far, I've had my fill
I need you now, do you love me still?
Only you have seen the hidden part of me
Call me fool hearted if you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
So many smiles and lies surround me
Empty expectations, faceless fears
Sometimes this life is a bitter pill
I love you now, do you love me still?
You have been mine since time untold
Our love is immortal, don't you know?
Others will come and they will go
But I love you young and I love you old
Only you have seen the other side of me
Call me naive, I think you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
Here are the eyes that only see you
Here's the mouth that only calls your name
Here is the song they cannot kill
I love you now, do you love me still?

Own The Night lyrics - Chaka Khan
(from "Miami Vice" soundtrack)
Feeling the heat
I can't keep
The pressure off me
Hear the man say
Earn your pay
Or I'll let you go today
But that's not for me
I was born to be alive
Not livin' to survive
Come closer to me, baby
Make me believe it, I can
Own the night
Reach up and touch the light
Own the night
You make me come alive
I own the night
Here in the dark
Turn it on
Love me forever like this
Baby don't stop
Make it hot
I want to taste your burn again
Take me away
To a place I've never known
Livin' right down to the bone
Closer to me baby
Make me believe it, I can
Own the night
Reach up and touch the light
(Love still shines)
Own the night
You make me come alive
I own the night
You make me feel
I own the night
Own the night
Touch the light
(Love still shines)
Own the night
Raspberry lyrics - Chaka Khan
I remember as the years pass
Someone I once knew
And pastures filled with green grass
Skies that were so blue
That's when I met you
And everything is changing
Nothing stays the same
Life needs rearranging
Since the day you walked away
And took my heart with you
No one can love me
The way that you do
Please don't tell me our love is through
Darlin' take me back
To the good old days
Back when we lived
With love and passion
I know someday I'll see you again
Just like those raspberries
That sway so gently in the wind
Forever memories
There's a river overflowing
And it's running through my soul
I don't know where it's going
But I know I need to find
My way back home again
No one can love me
The way that you do
Please don't tell me our love is through
Darlin' take me back
To the good old days
Back when we lived
On love and passion
I know someday I'll see you again
Just like those raspberries
That sway gently in the wind
Forever memories
(Forever and ever)
(Forever and ever)
(Forever and ever)
Darlin' take me back
To the good old days
Back when we lived
On love and passion
I know someday I'll see you again
Just like those raspberries
That sway gently in the wind
Darlin' take me back
To the good old days
Back when we lived
On love and passion
I know someday I'll see you again
Just like those raspberries
That sway gently in the wind
Forever
Darlin' take me back
To the good old days
Back when we lived
On love and passion
I know someday I'll see you again...
Shining Star lyrics - Chaka Khan
(originally by Earth, Wind & Fire)
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams will take you very far
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
What'd you see on a night so clear
In the sky so very dear
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be (what you could truly be)
Shining star come in to view
Shine its watchful light on you
Give you strength to carry on
Make your body big and strong
Born a man child of the sun
Saw my work had just begun
Found I had to stand alone
Bless it now I've got my own
So, if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to these words of heed
Be a giant grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes I can
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
Shinning star for you to see
What your life can truly be
Shinning star for you to see
What your life can truly be
Shinning star for you to see
What your life can truly be
When The Time Comes lyrics - Chaka Khan
(from "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" soundtrack)
I'm a-ready when the time comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
My opportunity to shine comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
Look at me, I'm back again
Feeling the joy that a new day can bring
There's new music, there's new sounds
All the excitement got me spinning 'round
So I'm gonna seize the, seize the day
I ain't gonna let it get away
I ain't gonna let it pass me by
I've got the wings to fly
And I'm ready when the time comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes (I'm ready)
My opportunity to shine comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
We're on the edge of possibility
And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see
So when the time comes
The time comes, the time comes, I'm ready
Yeah
Oh, and each day I can't wait to see
Just what the world has in store for me, yeah
That's a joy you can't improve
When an emotion makes your body move, oh oh
Every little turn and twirl and twist
Baby, it is too hard to resist
And you hear the song that starts to play
Saying today, today
Ready when the time comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes (I'm ready)
My opportunity to shine comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
We're on the edge of opportunity
And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see
So when the time comes
The time comes, the time comes, I'm ready
I'm ready
When the time comes for love
And the time comes for hope
When the time comes for friends
And the ones who helped me cope
(The times I was down and you lifted me up)
'Cause the time comes for joy
And the family I love, yeah
I'm ready when the time comes
I'm ready when the time comes
My opportunity to shine comes
Ready when the time comes
We're on the edge of opportunity
And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see
So when the time comes
The time comes, the time comes
When the time comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
My opportunity to shine comes
I'm a-ready when the time comes
We're on the edge of possibility
And we're gonna blaze a trail for the world to see
So when the time comes
The time comes, the time comes
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready, yeah, yeah
Woman Like Me lyrics - Chaka Khan
She's more than her body
More than her ass in some jeans, let's be clear
More than her makeup
More than the lace front that she chose to wear
She is your sister
She is your mother, your daughter, your girl
Better remember
It was a woman who brought you in this world
Every girl ain't a stripper or on the internet tryna hustle
Even if she was, who are you to judge? You don't even know her struggle
So watch what you say
Stones that you're throwing may come back, come back your way
She's your strength when you're weak
Without her, where would you be?
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman like me
She's the earth, she's the key
She's your whole life energy
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman, woman like me
Oh (oh)
She ain't no side piece
No mistress, no trophy you put on your shelf
Please don't mistake her
She's more than a plaything you buy with your wealth
You better respect her, the same way that you want respect for yourself
And for the record, ain't shit getting done without her help
Baby girl need a real man who gon' hold it down, fight for her
Lift her up, don't tear her down, give her real love, not control her (oh)
So watch what you say
Stones that you're throwing may come back, come back your way
She's your strength (she's your strength) when you're weak (when you're weak)
Without her, where would you be? (oh, where would you be?)
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman like me
She's the earth, she's the key (she's the key)
She's your whole life energy (whole life, yeah)
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman, woman
Woman like me
Like me
Woman like me
A woman like me

Angel lyrics - Chaka Khan
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
The feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings
Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby
Open up you're eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little Baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal
Talking to you Angel.. Angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me
Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
One day you'll open your wings

Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings
Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel

Will You Love Me? lyrics - Chaka Khan
I used to think that I was happy
But I was just lying to myself
Made me believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away...
[Chorus:]
Will you love me
Will you be-the-one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me
I feel like I was born just for you
I am so glad you came in time
Now that your here
I just adore you baby
To lose this love would be a crime
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away...

Castles Made Of Sand lyrics - Chaka Khan
Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

Sign 'O' The Times lyrics - Chaka Khan
Oh yeah
In France, skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
Soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun
Time
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Tellin' you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
They were sending rockets to the moon
September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June
Time, time, yeah
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still want to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why?
Time, time, time
Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if the night falls and a bomb falls
Then everybody sees dawn
Time, time
It's silly now, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly, yeah
Until he dies, oh why?
Time, time, time, time
Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Everybody, yeah
Sign o' the times

Time, sign o' the times
Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?

Packed My Bags lyrics - Chaka Khan
I can tell by the look that's in your eyes
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise
I'm just holdin' you down
[BRIDGE:]
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues
Me and the baby gonna miss you
I see your smile in her face
I only wish we were with you now
It's a lonely, lonely place
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS:]
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
I know you'll make it
You deserve it, you know you do
The blues, you'll shake it
I'll, I'll focus our view
Oh, don't let them change you
Come like thieves in the night
Oh, don't' let them rearrange you, boy
You've got to do what's right
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
Once a month, each time you say
Goin' away, oh
I don't wanna see you go
No no no no no no no no no no
Oh you, you've got to make it
You've got to make it, boy
Go on now
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise

You Belong To Me lyrics - Chaka Khan
Why'd you tell me this?
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be the one?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me, in this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me, you belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be the one?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me, in this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me, you belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
Super Life lyrics - Chaka Khan
A mama's cryin'
'Cause another young man has gone and died
He's not some statistic
He's another awesome destiny denied
So I've got to stand tall
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah
We take it all so lightly
How did we get so 'climatized
On the 9 o'clock news nightly
Genocide of babies
I can't believe my eyes
Right or wrong
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah
You know the wrath of a woman
Is gonna bring about hell to pay
Everyone together come on get with me
Or get on out my way
I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)
I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life

'Cause another young man has gone and died

Hazels Hips lyrics - Chaka Khan
Hazel's hips are a concert of contours and curves
As she slips to and fro 'round the tables she serves
I buy six meals a day in my favorite cafe
'Cause they see Hazel that way
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but her hips bring the tips
Hazel's hips have a rhythm so gently controlled
That her trips to the kitchen are a joy to behold
I love to just sit and gaze at the way Hazel sways
When she's carrying trays
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but those hips bring the tips
Hazel takes me my soup, serves me my cup of tea
And my heart flips to see Hazels's smiling at me"
So I say "honey bunch can I have you for lunch?"
But Hazel just gives me a hunch
And says "don't hand me no line 'bout you think I'm so fine"
'Cause yes the tips
Ooh Hazel's hips
As she slips to and fro 'round the tables she serves
I buy six meals a day in my favorite cafe
'Cause they see Hazel that way
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but her hips bring the tips
Hazel's hips have a rhythm so gently controlled
That her trips to the kitchen are a joy to behold
I love to just sit and gaze at the way Hazel sways
When she's carrying trays
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but those hips bring the tips
Hazel takes me my soup, serves me my cup of tea
And my heart flips to see Hazels's smiling at me"
So I say "honey bunch can I have you for lunch?"
But Hazel just gives me a hunch
And says "don't hand me no line 'bout you think I'm so fine"
'Cause yes the tips
Ooh Hazel's hips
The Best Is Yet To Come lyrics - Chaka Khan
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
Crazy lyrics - Chaka Khan
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you
I'm In The Mood For Love lyrics - Chaka Khan
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Is That All There Is lyrics - Chaka Khan
"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
And raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to love?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
'If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?'
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
When that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself..."
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.

There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
[Bridge]
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
[Bridge]
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time
Round Midnight lyrics - Chaka Khan
It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....
Teach Me Tonight lyrics - Chaka Khan
Did you say that I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
To Sir With Love lyrics - Chaka Khan
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
Diamonds Are Forever lyrics - Chaka Khan
Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, foreve
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, foreve
Goldfinger lyrics - Chaka Khan
Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
I Believe lyrics - Chaka Khan
Ya know nothing is promised us
As we walk over this plain
It can be cruel and dangerous
So what have you to gain
By being so rough?
Haven't you had enough?
You've never done anything
To deserve how you treat yourself
You can't stop wondering
How you look to everyone else
Because I believe
When you look inside you don't like what you see
You need to realize that you could be
Anything
In this whole wide world
When you get tired of running from yourself
And running games
When you decide you want to grow
And be yourself again
To all your so-called friends
You're just a means to their ends
You're so misunderstood
Because you're kind they think you're weak
Try it again, I wish they would
They're gonna have to come through me
Because I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything
I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything, anything
In this whole wide wo
As we walk over this plain
It can be cruel and dangerous
So what have you to gain
By being so rough?
Haven't you had enough?
You've never done anything
To deserve how you treat yourself
You can't stop wondering
How you look to everyone else
Because I believe
When you look inside you don't like what you see
You need to realize that you could be
Anything
In this whole wide world
When you get tired of running from yourself
And running games
When you decide you want to grow
And be yourself again
To all your so-called friends
You're just a means to their ends
You're so misunderstood
Because you're kind they think you're weak
Try it again, I wish they would
They're gonna have to come through me
Because I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything
I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything, anything
In this whole wide wo
Come 2 My House lyrics - Chaka Khan
I've got this feelin' inside
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way
Come to my house
Where we can play
Like I'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power
Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time
A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me
Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way
Come to my house
Where we can play
Like I'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power
Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time
A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me
Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now
This Crazy Life Of Mine lyrics - Chaka Khan
This is a story of mind, soul and heart
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine
As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be
Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine
Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine
As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be
Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine
Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!

Spoon lyrics - Chaka Khan
I got me some cookin'
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
[Chorus:]
You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Am I happy? (I think so)
Don't be so emotional (I can't help it, no)
Will he be there? (I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know
Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread
[Chorus]
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
[Chorus:]
You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread

Pop My Clutch lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Queen Latifah)
There may be some youngbloods
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man
[Chorus:]
Pop, pop my clutch [4x]
Don't worry `bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand
Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device
Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch
[Chorus]
I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man
Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man
[Chorus:]
Pop, pop my clutch [4x]
Don't worry `bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand
Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device
Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch

I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man
Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right
Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart lyrics - Chaka Khan
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 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'
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

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 wanna move fast

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

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

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'
[Chorus:]
Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
I'm talkin' 'bout lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
You've captured this girl, rockin' my world ya got me reelin'

Only you can satisfy my need

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

We're the ones who shine...this time

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

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

Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Carmel-coated pseudo happy

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!
Make It Last lyrics - Chaka Khan
Come on and stay with me for a little while
Hey can't we spend some time together
You look so good to me and I like your style
Come on let's make it last forever
I'm not an ordinary woman
I just want to love you with all my might
You better believe that I'm a good one
And I wanna guarantee I'll treat you right
Come on and stay with me for a little while
Come on and spend some time together
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make you smile
Hey can't we make it last forever
I know that love's a gamble
Puttin' all my lovin' on the line
There ain't a man that I can't handle
Give me your love, and I'll give you mine
Hey can't we spend some time together
You look so good to me and I like your style
Come on let's make it last forever
I'm not an ordinary woman
I just want to love you with all my might
You better believe that I'm a good one
And I wanna guarantee I'll treat you right
Come on and stay with me for a little while
Come on and spend some time together
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make you smile
Hey can't we make it last forever
I know that love's a gamble
Puttin' all my lovin' on the line
There ain't a man that I can't handle
Give me your love, and I'll give you mine

I'll Be Around lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Miles Davis)
I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I'll be around from now on
Your latest love can never last, and when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone
Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone
I'll be around from now on
Your latest love can never last, and when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone
Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone

Love of a lifetime
Good for you (heart of change)

Earth To Mickey lyrics - Chaka Khan
Come along let's park (let's park)
Can't you see what's going on
Come along gotta get with it
You're space bound and going strong
And he said
Come along lets rock
Shake your body don't stop
Cause i'm never out of fuel
You're good at talkin'
But at listenin' you ain't so cool
So you better get with it baby
[Chorus:]
Earth to Mickey
When are you gonna land?
Earth to Mickey
When are you gonna land?
(Why can't you just come on down,
Down to my level here)
Tonight i'm watchin' you
And you wouldn't understand
How could you ever get so spaced out
And never ever land
I just wanna tell you
You're outta your mind
It'll take a little time
But I bet I can talk you down
There are unnurtured treasure
Right here on solid ground
So you better get with it baby
[Chorus]
(Hear me talkin' to ya mickey)
[Mickey's rap:]
Excuse me but it's hard to hear
Cause i'm way up in the stratosphere
I caught your drift
But i still don't see
I changed my long distance company recently
I'm not a guy that's kinda shy
I gotta get home before my goldfish die
My friends say i caught your eye
They say you like the way i tie my tie
I don't know why you wanna stare
Don't touch...i just combed my hair
(push)
Please talk me down
Where's the ground?
Hold on you better slow down
You might be 'fore your time
I think you got kicked out
From the white school of bump and grind
Mickey come along let's walk
Can we have a little talk?
You've been busted in mid-flight
Whenever you're puzzled you just
Put on your big red light
[Chaka's rap:]
You know i know what they mean now
When they say that you're all dressed up
And nowhere to go
Mickey really i been tryin to talk to you
All night i've been lookin at you
And lookin at you
And tryin to talk and talk
But you just don't listen
You're on some eternal flight
I just can't seem to make you make sense
Mickey, Mickey
[Chorus]
[Ad lib to fade]
Can't you see what's going on
Come along gotta get with it
You're space bound and going strong
And he said
Come along lets rock
Shake your body don't stop
Cause i'm never out of fuel
You're good at talkin'
But at listenin' you ain't so cool
So you better get with it baby
[Chorus:]

Watching The World lyrics - Chaka Khan
Rockets launch us to outer space
Far away from this human wasteland
We're bringing heaven to other worlds
Abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we can't live here as one
There are wise men who say it still can be done
[Chorus:]
I'm watching the world
I'm watching the change in power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?
We will harvest the fields of wheat
For a promise of food to eat
Forging plows to make swords for war
We can stop this fighting and open the door
Only fools could believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done
[Chorus:]
Who is watching this world?
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?
Watching the world
Only fools would believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done
[Chorus:]
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still? (just standing still)
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
We're watching the world
We're building a future
We're not standing still
I'm watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
We're building a future
I'm not standing still
I'm watching this world
Watching the world [7x]
Far away from this human wasteland
We're bringing heaven to other worlds
Abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we can't live here as one
There are wise men who say it still can be done
[Chorus:]
I'm watching the world
I'm watching the change in power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?
We will harvest the fields of wheat
For a promise of food to eat
Forging plows to make swords for war
We can stop this fighting and open the door
Only fools could believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done
[Chorus:]
Who is watching this world?
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?
Watching the world
Only fools would believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done
[Chorus:]
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still? (just standing still)
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
We're watching the world
We're building a future
We're not standing still
I'm watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
We're building a future
I'm not standing still
I'm watching this world
Watching the world [7x]
