Tonight 03:55
You might be the type that I just wanna bring home I see our future right inside of your eyes But baby now I'm thinking I should take it slow before “I love you” turns into a “goodbye” See, I don't wanna rush anything soon I wanna be chill just spend some good time with you Hope this is the start of something spanking new I'll do it different so there's nothing to lose Hook: When baby tonight is the night I think I'm really falling for ya, baby let's get it started Tonight it's alright I'm excited to be together, babe, get ready for whatever tonight I'm the type who might just fall head over heels When I see someone cute like you walking past I tend to be impulsive can't do that with you cus baby this right here I'm praying will last See, I don't wanna rush anything soon I wanna be chill just spend some good time with you Hope this is the start of something spanking new We can play it however way you choose Hook Bridge: Tonight: not gonna jump the gun I'll keep my feelings tight (for you) Tonight: I'll take this heart of mine and let my love break flight (with you) Tonight: we'll have a real good time; I'll be the perfect gentleman Tonight: I'll tell by business babe and share all of my secrets I don't wanna be just friends Hook

There's something special bout that moment when you're ready to be loved The feeling takes you over almost like you might as well explode I found a joy inside that now I'm hoping to share with someone Inside, outside I don't give a care if everybody knows Cus though I'm feeling good all by myself They say it's better with somebody else So now my heart is racing to prepare to be loved (by you) Hook: Come on swoon me love I want to be loved I'm not choosey love I'm in the mood for love Don't want groupie love Just want you me love This is true me love I'm in the mood for love I didn't know my worth I thought I had to jump at every chance I'd get How can you love someone if you don't love yourself you'll never win my friend I thought i knew it all but I was pretty slow I learned to be myself and shut down my ego So now I'm grateful patiently awaiting the time when this dance begins Cus even though I'm cool when it's just me Beyoncé said that 1+1 is we (1+1=2) So every night & day I'm living just to be loved (by you) Hook L-O V-E Priceless Baby Pure as Can be Take it From me Cus though I'm feeling good all by myself They say it's better with somebody else And even though it's cool when it's just me Beyoncé said that 1+1 is we Hook

Here you go In my view Got me all approaching you I'm a wreck Sweating you But I don't know what to do Should I play it fast? Play it slow? I'm not sure there's something I just need to know from you Can you open up? Communicate Baby can I get your name? I can spend some time Share some things Did you even know I sing? I'll serenade Rhythm, blues Vocalize everything I can give it you And baby I won't play no games I am all man Yo you got me on your team I'm here for you but only if you're down? Hook Down with me (3x) Come on let's get down (down) to business I know you're Feeling me 2 more minutes you'll agree Can't you tell I'm for real Maybe I can seal the deal I'm so true Can't you see? All of your desires are fulfilled by me You and I That's a pair All the girls will look and stare Let em talk I don't care Jealousy with fill the air When we walk in It's for sure I can be the one but you will have to be on board And baby I won't play no games I am all man I can pick you up at 8 But all I need to know is are you down? Hook And I picture us inside my brain I won't bite now don't you be afraid Come on baby see it's getting late Let's get down It won't hurt to just give me a try Don't you miss this roller coaster ride Come on baby it would be a crime Got to get down I wanna get so lost with you inside this magic aura where we both can be emphatic, ecstatic to be together – gets no better, whatever you want but all I need to know are you down? Hook

Come In 04:45
Hi there, pardon, I don't mean to be abrupt But I noticed it's raining And you look like you've had it rough Would you like my umbrella so maybe we can go and talk? I don't claim to know a lot, but you seem like you are lost I saw you from my window, and it's breaking my heart in two Cus I can't imagine all that you must have gone through Not trying to be a hero but is there something I can do? Cus I got a vibe that you need more love than's come to you Lean (Come over) Please don't be afraid Trust me with you heart (Come over) I'm not gonna break Or tear it apart (Come over) It's hard in this world With no friend I want you to understand you'll find your happiness within Chorus So come in, come in I can't leave you hanging by yourself You're soaking wet, you need some help So come in, come in It would be a shame to see you go Inside you're safe from all the cold So come in Now I know I'm a stranger, and this is definitely strange For us to be so open when I don't even know your name But I can tell that you've been broken and experienced pain And had our roles maybe changed I feel you would do the same Lean (Come over) Please don't be afraid Trust me with you heart (Come over) I'm not gonna break Or tear it apart (Come over) It's hard in this world With no friend I want you to understand you have a joy that lies within Chorus Vamp Come in my love I'm here for you Won't leave you stranded (you're not alone) Come in my love Here's my heart you're Not empty handed (you're not alone) Chorus Chorus/Vamp

I wanna live in a world of love I wanna sit back, relax, and have some fun I wanna have joy that lasts all day I wanna the whole earth to just come out and play Cus no matter what we do Someone's always judging you Or lying about what ain't true It's a shame we can't all be cool The pain we ignore but see Can't be good for humanity If we empathize Maybe we can make things right Hook: I wanna live in a world of love (I wanna live in a world of love) Why can't we live in a world of love? (why can't we live in a world of love?) Somebody out there just wants some love (somebody out there just wants some love) Come on and live in a world of love (come on and let's live in a world of love) I wanna have parties every place I wanna spread light to the whole human race I'm sick of taking; I want to give I want to show children they have lives to live Cus what they show on TV Is pretty much hypocrisy And all the truth that we seek Is inside if we just believe But nobody makes it real The stranger hurting but do you feel him? Yo If we share our hearts We can have a brand new start Hook So selfish I'm guilty of having wrong priorities Concerned with all my mess instead of looking for the key to peace I'm over politics, I wanna know reality By being openminded we can all be free (free to live in a world of love) Guitar Solo Hook

Gravity 05:23
Verse 1: She was on her way She couldn’t stay another day In town, betrayed by love A place she called her own She bought her ticket there Across the street she starred And dared to see a man That was standing alone That twinkle in his eyes She’s mesmerized and Tantalized, aroused by feelings Thought she’d never know again Butyet she needed more Had to explore, open the door And fill the hole in her heart From the pain Lean 1: Ignored the warning signs Maybe she crossed the line But it was for the best Putting her mind to rest Chorus: She said, maybe I can gather the strength To fall back in love one more time And give this a try Cus I’ve been falling for all the wrong things I’m afraid I’ll fall down From leaping too high But just for right now I want to fall into love with you Verse 2: He was too uptight No joy in sight, a light Extinguished by the negligence Of treating right his soul Just got back in town Wearing a frown That’s when he saw a gown Saved his heart from turning to coal He wants to show himself And shelf his outer shell That’s harmed his health for years Because he feels there’s such a draw It seems too hard, but yet He can’t discard even The smallest shard of peace To which he needs to crawl Lean 2: The flags he puts to sleep Connections much too deep Nowhere to run or hide Thinking of tears he cried Chorus: He said, maybe I can gather the strength To fall back in love one more time And give this a try Cus I’ve been falling for all the wrong things I’m afraid I’ll fall down From leaping too high But just for right now I want to fall into love with you Bridge: She said, I want to give myself and yet I can’t do things I will regret Cus I’ve been hurt way too much He said, My hearts been full of misery And being open just isn’t for me I’m scared to move on She said, I’m wise to not want to roll the dice Fool me once, don’t fool me twice But there’s something about you He said, I’m confused about which way to go But my love for you, it wants to grow This feeling’s brand new Lean 3: They choose to blindly leap Like two innocent sheep Hoping to cause no harm Jump in each other’s arms Chorus: They say, maybe we can gather the strength To fall back in love one more time And give this a try Cus we’ve been falling for all the wrong things We're afraid we’ll fall down From leaping too high But just for right now Maybe they’ll fall into love Maybe I can gather the strength To fall back in love one more time And give this a try Cus I’ve been falling for all the wrong things I’m afraid I’ll fall down From leaping too high But just for right now I want to fall into love with you

I try and I try to know for me what's real Gets hard to decipher the truth from how others feel But I can't deny the absence in the beat Of the little round organ inside my chest cavity When I'm not with you I can't explain My feet go numb, my body shakes No sleep; my blood won't circulate Must be love sick; I know the pain Chorus: And I, I never asked you for nothing But now I'm hoping for something Cus when you're gone it's a mess You've sent me into cardiac arrest So you gotta come back now I'm needing Can't stop this eternal bleeding Cus when you're here there's no stress You've sent me into cardiac arrest You've sent me into cardiac arrest I don't know many things but this I'm sure You took something important from me when you left that door Went to the doctor, doctor can't believe You're the only one that can provide me a remedy I've never felt so under siege Captivated romantically Can't eat, my lungs can hardly breathe A void has clogged my arteries Chorus Bridge: I (I'd die here and now) won't survive (if you were to) ever stay away And I (I put up a front) cannot lie (wouldn't have it) any other way So I'll (wait patiently) though I (can barely think) til we're not apart Administer my CPR Cus baby you've stolen my heart Baby, you've stolen my heart Chorus
