Did I Hear You Say You Love Me
Aaah... Did I hear you say you love me Well baby I've got to know 'Cause if you really really love me You've got to do things to show Don't give me the wrong impression By showing me warm expressions Put me in the right direction With tender love and affection I've been standing on the outside Trying to get on the inside Did I hear you say you need me Well baby tell me the truth 'Cause if you really really need me My sweetness here's what I'll do Cut out all my crazy playing 'Cause for your love I have been laying Just tell me that is what you're saying And I'll be yours without delaying I've been standing on the outside Trying to get on the inside Well if you love me honey let me hear you say I love you If you love me honey let me hear you say I love you Sounds so good Well if you love me honey let me hear you say I love you Did I hear you say you want me Now please don't give me no mess 'Cause if you really really want me You've got to give me your best Put my love life right in the pocket And dare someone to try to top it And when you think I want to drop it Just love me 'til I beg don't stop it 'Cause I've been standing on the outside Trying to get on the inside Well if you love me honey let me hear you say I love you Well if you love me honey let me hear you say I love you Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh If you love me honey let me hear you say I love you Baby, if you love me let me hear you say I love you If you love me let me hear you say I love you And if you need me let me hear you say I love you If you want me let me hear you say I love you If you need me let me hear you say I love you If you want me let me hear you say I love you If you need me let me hear you say I love you If you want me let me hear you say I love you If you need me let me hear you say I love you

As if You Read My Mind
Close your eyes 'til the morning Close your eyes 'til the early dew Get inside what you've been missing Are the very first words that I heard coming from you Take a chance on the secret That you hide for beneath your dreams Use your wildest imagination You just tell me what it is and I will make it be As if you read my mind As if you touched my soul As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go Let's get high on the happy With a toast to you and me Love is here just for the giving And between us we've got all the love we'll ever need As if you read my mind As if you touched my soul As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go As if you read my mind As if you touched my soul As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go As if you read my mind As if you touched my soul As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go As if you read my mind As if you touched my soul As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
Master Blaster (Jammin')
Everyone's feeling pretty It's hotter than July Though the world's full of problems They couldn't touch us even if they tried From the park I hear rhythms Marley's hot on the box Tonight there will be a party On the corner at the end of the block Didn't know you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet nobody ever told you that you would be jammin' until the break of dawn You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on They want us to join their fighting But our answer today Is to let all our worries Like the breeze through our fingers slip away Peace has come to Zimbabwe Third World's right on the one Now's the time for celebration 'Cause we've only just begun Didn't know that you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Bet you nobody ever told you that you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on Bet you nobody ever told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I know nobody told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jam on You ask me am I happy Well as matter of fact I can say that I'm ecstatic 'Cause we all just made a pact We've agreed to get together Joined as children in Jah When you're moving in the positive Your destination is the brightest star You didn't know that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet you nobody ever told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Don't you stop the music, oh no, (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Na, na na... (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Nobody told you Oh, Oh, Oh, you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet you if someone approached you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin' you would not believe it because you never thought that you would be jammin' Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Jammin' 'til the break of dawn Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what you are feeling (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Because you feel your body jammin' (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Oh, Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Do Like You
(Keita) Show me how to do like you (Aisha) If you say please (Keita) Please Since age one Keita knew he had the answer And it was that someday he'd be a dancer And with help from his sis Surely that boy would not miss From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping You could hear the pitter patter of feet creeping To where music would play To his sister he would say Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed Show me how to do like you Show me how to do it Show me how to do like you Show me how to do it — Can you rock can you rock Show me how to do like you Can you rock around the clock, can you rock Show me how to do it — Can you rock can you rock Show me how to do like you Can you rock around the clock, can you rock Once at school they put on a talent contest To find out who could really boogy the best But his mama said no Keita's much too young to go But his sister said please let him go so the world can see When they saw him they said he must be crazy Look at him he ain't nothing but a baby But soon as he began You knew the contest he would win Because everyone in the audience began to cheer Show me how to do like you Show me how to do it Show me how to do like you Show me how to do it — Can you rock can you rock Show me how to do like you Can you rock around the clock, can you rock Show me how to do it — Can you rock can you rock Show me how to do like you Can you rock around the clock, can you rock Show me how to do it — Can you rock can you rock Show me how to do like you Can you rock around the clock, can you rock Show me how to do it (Aisha) Ooh, you done broke Mama's lamp (Keita) Uh, uh (Aisha) Yes you did (Keita) No I didn't
Cash in Your Face
You just could not know how long we tried To see how this building looks inside This must be a lucky day for me Because the sign says there's a vacancy Look I know you came a long way But you made it just too late So we had to give it to somebody else Well I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago And you told me that it was cool I graduated from Howard U. My job is paying good money too And if you check on my resume You'll find they all wanted me to stay Well I can't take the time out To check your credit card 'Cause the computer just broke down today Well I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview But I know what you're gonna say I know what your bottomline is You might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want you living in here Say you might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want your kind living in here Too-oo, too-oo too bad, Too-oo, too-oo too sad Our first child is due here any day That's why we're desperate for a place to stay The location is so perfect too So please try to do what you can do Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed And if you told me that I could have saved you alot of time Well I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminate But I know some excuse you'll find Because your bottom line is You might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want you living in here Say you might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want your kind living in here Aye, you might be a great doctor You might be a great lawyer You might possess the key to the city Or maybe a politician You might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want you living in here Say you might have the cash but you Can… not cash in your face We don't want your kind living in here
Lately
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling With no vivid reason here to find Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging 'round my mind Far more frequently you're wearing perfume With you say no special place to go But when I ask will you be coming back soon You don't know, never know Well, I'm a man of many wishes Hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye Lately I've been staring in the mirror Very slowly picking me apart Trying to tell myself I have no reason with your heart Just the other night while you were sleeping I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping You just say nothing's changed Well, I'm a man of many wishes I hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye Oh, I'm a man of many wishes I hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye
Happy Birthday
You know it doesn't make much sense There ought to be a law against Anyone who takes offense At a day in your celebration 'Cause we all know in our minds That there ought to be a time That we can set aside To show just how much we love you And I'm sure you would agree It couldn't fit more perfectly Than to have a world party on the day you came to be Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday I just never understood How a man who died for good Could not have a day that would Be set aside for his recognition Because it should never be Just because some cannot see The dream as clear as he that they should make it become an illusion And we all know everything That he stood for time will bring For in peace our hearts will sing Thanks to Martin Luther King Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Why has there never been a holiday Where peace is celebrated all throughout the world The time is overdue For people like me and you Who know the way to truth Is love and unity to all God's children It should never be a great event And the whole day should be spent In full remembrance Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people So let us all begin We know that love can win Let it out don't hold it in Sing it loud as you can Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday Ooh yeah Happy birthday… We know the key to unify all people Is in the dream that you had so long ago That lives in all of the hearts of people That believe in unity We'll make the dream become a reality I know we will Because our hearts tell us so
