One of a Kind

"Hold me close
kiss my body
feel my warmth
come, let us come
to a new place--
a meeting of the minds.

It's a spiritual thing
between you and me.
I awake and you are all that I see.
Wish you could be me and I you.
Want to do all that I can do
to please you.

"What about...?"
"Who?"
It use to be a few.
But I chose sexy you.

Love you like no other!
Forgot about my mother.
Caused my heart to do flips!
Got plans for trips!
Want to see the world with you.
Make me want to do, to do!
Inspiration I found in you!

You know...
love like this has got to be true!"

Oh yes, he said these things
and backed them up with a few rings.

One of promise, one of engagement
and one that was holy, heaven-sent.

I believed every word, everything was fine
and then one day I answered the phone line.

He Cheated, Now He Wants Me Back

What would it take to mend my heartbreak?
Thought I found a husband in you.
What is a girl to do?

You stopped calling,
I stopped falling.

Wanted more, but you claimed
life with me, would be a bore.
You were only interested in the whore.

She wore the short, red dress.
Had a a behind and legs to impress.

She seduced you with red lips,
put her hands on wide hips.

You said she was only a friend.
Made up in your mind I was a dead-end.

It wouldn't be long when you would find out,
that she was all show, she had no clout.

You forgot about all the benefits I could bring
and how I made your heart sing.

You forgot about the laughs we had
and how sex with me was never bad.

There was another and another
one after the other, all they wanted was to take down a brother.

Now you come back to me with tears in your eyes
trying to make me forget all the white lies.

But I have moved on and feel rather good,
I hope that all I have said has been understood.

Don't want a man who keeps playing with sin
who think if he charms he will always win.

Don't need a man who can't help me out,
who rather make me cry and shout.

All I ever desired in my life was love
that made me feel like it came from above.

Oh I Got A Feeling

I got a feeling
that he will see the light
will try to make things work
with all his might.

Got a feeling the past will die
cause he'll listen to my cry.

Got a feeling that he loves me
held up a ring for the world to see.

Got a feeling that he hates me
for the life I live now free.

Got a feeling that he'll come around
his words tend to have that sound.

Got a feeling
Got a feeling
took my heart and lured me
spun me around
let me hit the ground
now he's through with me.

Oh I got a feeling
he'll thank me one day
some time in May
for the light that came on
inside a stubborn hard head.

Oh I got a feeling, got a feeling
will see my kids and they'll run to me
they will cry "I see, I see it's mommy."

Got a feeling that God will do it
got a feeling that he'll wake up
got a feeling that he'll call
got a feeling that won't be all!

Got a feeling, got a feeling!

You Don't Need Me

You don't need me
just wanted me
didn't want what I was offering
just borrowing
had a plan
from the beginning.

Have some fun
then your done
on to the rest.

You looked at me one day
something fell upon your heart
you knew that this one was for keeps.

You didn't want to buy
just try
didn't want a commitment
too much work
didn't want to settle
had been there done that.

But then things changed,
maybe you needed me after all.
Maybe you wanted what you now can't have
you learned a little too late
you found an escape
and now you want to close the gap.

Should have thought about that
before
should have listened closer
to what I had said
while we laid down in bed.

Should have prayed for a solution
could have closed the door of confusion
but it was familiar
sometimes chaos makes one comfortable.

It was too easy to get me
even easier to keep me
but you didn't know how
couldn't figure out the man
didn't have any plan.

So self-pity, hate, cry
moan, then wipe your tears
start all over with someone else
and when you come to a detour
find a way out
parade her around
smile and look down.

You don't need me.

We Have History

We have history you and I
read a story of how you won
a young girl's heart
with your smooth words and mature demeanor.

You acted much older than your age
an intelligent man, a kind man, a friend of a friend
You were going places in life
but you like others had a weakness...women.

You broke her heart with your flirtacious grin.
Never focused too long on what was in front of you
always looking around.
You wanted her to do things with you that she wasn't ready.
She said no, and you had to go...
off into someone else's arms!
Oh how she despised you!

Later in life they would meet again
he would tell her of the love he made, and the love he gave...
Never did they connect, even then he wanted more.

As they grew older they spoke of their lives
and the changes they had been through
her heartbroken
his destroyed.

It could have been her in that truck
but they never did connect.

Always close calls, close encounters
but never meant to be.
Just as she wrote a poem to him many years ago...
penned her angry thoughts for having trusted him.
a sad end back then
a sad end now
while his music plays on...
