Can’t be stopped
Nothings gonna stop us
We cant be stopped
I know that its not been easy
Trying to make it in this crazy world
People round you try to stop you
Stomp you saying that you dont belong
You must remember that
We were born with blood of kings and queens
And cant be stopped
Stay stronger my sister you cant be stopped
No, you cant be stopped
I know that sometimes
You get to feelin Ive given up on you
The pressure seems to, to defeat you
Beat you when you feel you cant go on
You must remember that
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And cant be stopped
Stay stronger my brother you cant be stopped
No, you cant be stopped
Dont ever let nobody tell you you aint strong enough
Strong enough, dont let nobody tell you you aint
Strong enough, dont let nobody tell you
You know that I will be right here
To remind you that we need
Togetherness, cause lost pride
Has no room, if you dont forget
Where you come from
Empty
Nothings gonna stop us
We cant be stopped
I know that its not been easy
Trying to make it in this crazy world
People round you try to stop you
Stomp you saying that you dont belong
You must remember that
We were born with blood of kings and queens
And cant be stopped
Stay stronger my sister you cant be stopped
No, you cant be stopped
I know that sometimes
You get to feelin Ive given up on you
The pressure seems to, to defeat you
Beat you when you feel you cant go on
You must remember that
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And cant be stopped
Stay stronger my brother you cant be stopped
No, you cant be stopped
Dont ever let nobody tell you you aint strong enough
Strong enough, dont let nobody tell you you aint
Strong enough, dont let nobody tell you
You know that I will be right here
To remind you that we need
Togetherness, cause lost pride
Has no room, if you dont forget
Where you come from
Every time
Im afraid Im starting to feel
What I said I would not do
The last time really hurt me
Bridge:
Im sacred to fall in love
Afraid to fall so fast
cause every time I fill in love
It seems too never last
Chorus:
But every time your love is near
And every time Im filled with fear
cause every time I see your face
My heart does begins to race every time
One half wants me to go
One half wants me to stay
I just get oh so confused
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Every time your love is near
And every time Im filled with fear
cause every time I see your face
Could it be that this will be the one that lasts
The fear does start to erase every time
Oh could it be that this will be the one that lasts
For all my times
For all my times

I get lonely
Chorus: (2x)
I get so lonely
Cant let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
Sittin here with my tears
All alone with my fears
Im wonderin if I have to do
Withoutcha
But theres no reason why
I feel asleep late last night
Cryin like a newborn child
Holdin myself close
Pretendin my arms are yours
I want no one but you
Chorus (2x)
I still remember to the day
In fact is was a 3rd monday
You came along to be the one for me
Now Im alone
Sittin here by the phone
Call and say that youre okay
So that Ill have the chance
To beg you to stay
I want no one but you
Chorus (4x)
Gonna break it down
Break it down, break it down
Gotta break it down
Break it down, break it down
Whoa
You know
That I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
Oh-hooh
Noowhoahooo. . .
Chorus (4x)

Whisperin I wanna feel a soft rope burn
(no one has to know)
Wanna feel a
Rope burn
When you walked into the room you knew just what to do
Ya coulda gone from door to door but you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room and tell me your fantasies
(tell me your fantasies)
The passion in your voice I wanna hear as you start to tell me
While you take the blindfold and tie it gently on me
Dont wanna see but feel the things youre gonna do to me
(wanna feel it)
Chorus
One in the mornin Im feelin so free and sensual
Lyin here wearin just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the fire
Candlelight embrace your body
Im feelin the hot candle wax drippin down the small of my back
You wanna know what my tongue feels like?
Mmhmm
You like that?
Chorus (2x)
Special
Hey j
Its been a long time since
Ive seen you last
A half and twenty-six years
(my time is fast)
Im well
Though Ive gone through
Some deep changes in my life
It hasnt been easy
Oh no not for me
Its been difficult at times
Sometimes I sit down and cry
Ask God oh why
(fairwhat is? )
Bridge:
I know how your feelin
Same thing I did deal with
Ya not as alone
As you may feel
You see but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with the past
I know its painful but
There youll find specialnes
cause everybody needs to feel real special
Chorus:
We need to remember
That love lies deep withn us
We have to want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn
Were all born with special ness inside our hearts
I have the need
To feel real special too
You see you cant run away from your pain
Because where ever you run there you will be
You have to learn to water your spiritual garden
Then you will be free
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Together again
There are times
When I look above
And beyond
There are times when I feel your love
Around me baby
Ill never forget my baby
(Ill never forget you)
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me baby
Ill never forget my baby
When I feel that I dont belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey its about you baby
Look deeper inside you baby
Bridge
Dream about us together again
What I want us together again baby
I know well be together again cuz
Chorus:
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin back at me
Dancin in moonlight
I know you are free
Cuz I can see your star
Shinin down on me
(together again, ooh)
Good times well share again
(together again, ooh)
Makes me wanna dance
(together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(together again, ooh)
All my loves for you
Always been a true angel to me

Oooh wrap them around me baby
Sometimes hear you whisperin
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now baby

Bridge
Chorus
(together again, ooh)
Good times well share again

As on earth
In heaven we will be together baby
Together again my baby
Chorus (2x)
Tonight’s the night
This is just between me
And you
And you
Stay away
From my window
Stay away
From my back door too
Disconnect
The telephone line
Relax baby
And draw that blind
Kick off your shoes
And sit right down
Loosen up the back
Of your pretty french gown, yeah
Let me pour you
A good long drink
Ooh baby
Dontcha hesitate
Chorus:
Tonights the night
Its gonna be alright
Cuz I love you girl
Aint nobody gonna stop us now
Come on angel
My hearts on fire
Dont deny
This one desire
Youd be a fool
To stop this time
Spread your wings and let me
Come inside cuz
Chorus
Dont say a word
My virgin child
Just let your
Inhibitions run wild
The secret is
About to unfold
Upstairs
Before the nights too old cuz
Chorus
Tonight
Tonights the night
Tonights the night
Its gonna be alright
Cuz I love you boy
Aint nobody gonna stop us now
This is so special
Tonights the night
Dont be afraid
You know Im gonna make it alright
Tonights the night
Dont be afraid

Tonights the night
Dont be afraid
You know Im gonna make it alright
Tonights the night
Dont be afraid

Velvet Rope
Chorus:
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
Repeat chorus
This special need
Thats within us
Brings out the best
Yet worst in us
Follow the passion
Thats within you
Living the truth
Will set you free
Repeat chorus
Put others down
To feel us up
Oppressing me
Will oppress you
Outside leave judgement
Outside leave hate
One loves the answer
Youll find in you
Repeat chorus
What about
We walked along the beach
What a moonlit night
He held my hand in his
He kissed me
He said i wanna spend my life with you... I want you for my wife
Just then I thought
Chorus:
What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit youve done to me
What about that, what about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried, you wouldnt even hold me
What about those things
What about that, what about that
I took a pause, then a deep sigh
He looked right into my eyes as he said
i know I didnt say somethin wrong
I didnt have the courage to say
But then I thought
Chorus
Chorus 2
What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said no more please
What about those things
What about that, what about that
What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didnt fuck her
She only gave you head
What about that, what about that
Dont wanna live my life
In misery
Dont tell me you did it cuz you love me
I dont believe
Im sick and tired
Your deceptive games
Wonder where you have been
I cant live life wonderin
My heart was poundin
But the time had come
To stop lettin my whisperin heart control me
And tellin my screamin mind what to do
I looked him straight in the eyes and then I said
Chorus + chorus 2 (2x)
You
Here I an in your face
Tellin truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that youre runnin out of time
See ya cant get away
Ill be here forever and again
Whisperin in your ear
Do believe cause you know you cannot win
Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to be
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth
If specials what you feel when youre with them
Taken away, you feel less then again
Thats right
Chorus:
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You cant blame nobody but you
Repeat chorus
Theres a feelin inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make it try
And with time itll start to go away
Ill be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
cause Im the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to
Bitter youll be if you dont change you ways
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that youve grown into
You cannot run for you cant hide from you
Cant hide from you
Thats right
Repeat chorus
