deborah cox - house is not a home

I walk through these halls but nothing feels the same
Where we once made our lives, it?s now so empty
The same paint is on the walls
The same songs, I use to sing alone
We?d run through the night but now it?s so cold (so cold)

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don?t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don?t live here)
Why don?t it feel like it felt before?
I know you?re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

I look in the mirror and you?re still standing there
It?s just an illusion of what use to be
So I lay in the bed we shared
Where we made love a million times I swear
Can?t face the truth that you moved on, you?re gone

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don?t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don?t live here no more)
Why don?t it feel like it felt before?
I know you?re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

*Bridge*
In these rooms we were together
But now were so far apart
We should of tried to make it better
But then you went and left and torn up my heart
When you left
No no no
(Love don?t live here)
(Since you been gone)
(It?s so lonely)
(When you coming home?)
(Love don?t live here)
Love don?t live here anymore
(Since you been gone)
Since you went away baby why didn?t you stay?
I?m alone now, it?s so lonely baby
Since you went away
It?s not the same
Is it over? Is it over?
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

deborah cox - destination moon

Poor man take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we'll fly
Our destination moon

We'll travel fast as a light to win out of sight
The earth will be like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet
Our destination moon

We'll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue, I'll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!
Our destination moon

We'll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue, I'll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!
Our destination, we'll fly high up in the sky
Destination, destination moon

deborah cox - did you ever love me

Heartfelt conversations we had every single night, lying in bed together,
So why would there ever be a breakdown in communication,
And I'm just wondering was that the warm and fuzzy feeling

Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me

I wanna go back, way back to the beginning when we could rely on each other
Oh, I felt like a goddess floating on a cloud. why'd you have to bring me down
With all this pain and disappointment, confused and bitter, brokenhearted
With all the mysteries and my love memories

Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me

I painted this perfect picture of you and me in my head
I sacrificed my mind, body, and soul. you showed me you didn't care
Now did you ever stop and think about how you made my life a living hell
It's so hard believing that you would treat me like this
Now I'm questioning over and overad lib:

Did you ever love me? did you ever love me?
Tell me baby, baby, baby, baby
Was there, was there ever really love?
Was there ever love at all?
Did you ever love me?
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can finally resolve and get over you
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can move on, oh yes
Did you ever love me?

deborah cox - easy as life

All I have to do is forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love`s an ever changing situation
Passion would`ve cooled and all the magic would have died
It`s easy as life

Chorus:

I try to forget how much I want him here
Let my dreams slowly disappear
I cannot forget, let my emotions die
Oh I, I don`t even want to try

Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do

All I have to do is pretend I never knew you
On those very rare occasions
When you steal in to my heart
Better to have lost you
When the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
It`s easy as life

I try to forget how much I want him here
Let my dreams slowly disappear
I cannot forget, let my emotions die
Oh I, I didn`t want to try

Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do

It hurts to think about you, when I wanna touch you
And howwe would`ve been if you were here with me today
Oh, those very rare occasions
They keep on coming
All I ever wanted
I`m throwing it away

Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do

Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do

deborah cox - givin it up

You know he's wrong, when he stays out all night long
And he don't return your calls, well I ain't got time for that
You better walk away, girl it's time to make that change
You know that all men ain't the same
Cause I be lovin' my man cuz he don't get down like that

[Chorus:]
If he's giving you more (than a little bit)
And if he's giving his all (can you handle it)
You keep holding it down
Yeah if he's givin' it up
Hold it down for the one you love

See I remember those days when they took more than they gave
And the tears rolled down my face, for someone to give me that
good love
But then he came and turned my lonely nights to brighter days
And I never will be the same
Cause I be lovin' my man, ladies can you feel me
And if your man is givin' you more

[Chorus]

Is it his style- He's got the jeans and Timbs and the iced out
pinky ring
Is it his ride- Got the Benz on chrome but it don't mean a thing
to me
Does he spend time- takin' first class flights but I'd rather be
at home
So he can touch me, slowly, cause when we're all alone, he gives
me more

[Chorus]

deborah cox - hurts so much

Heard a million stories about love
Some were good some were bad
I found out if you hold on too tight
You might lose everything you have
Didn't think my heart could easily break
When you fall in love that's a chance you take
Now I know
From these lessons that I learned from loving you

Chorus:
I know that everybody makes mistakes
I hope you still believe it's not too late
Cause I don't care about what people think or say
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
But I never knew that love could hurt so much
Ummmm ohhhh So much

I found it in my heart to forgive
But its hard to forget
Cause everyday the vision creeps in
Of you and somebody else
All my girls told me that you'd go
But I know that one I still love you so
I'll hold on
Till I gain back the trust that I had in you
I know that everybody makes mistakes
I hope you still believe its not too late
Cause I don't care about what people think or say
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
But I never knew that love could hurt so much
It's killing me but I'll get over it
But I made my commitment to you
Even though its gonna leave a scar
Can't ever change what's in my heart (oh no)
I'll do whatever to stay together ohhhhhhh

I know that everybody makes mistakes (yes I know hurt
me so)
I hope you still believe it's not too late (it's not
too late)
Cause I don't care about what people think or say (or
say)
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
I know that everybody makes mistakes (hope you do)
I hope you still believe it's not too late (people
think or say what they want
to

say)
Cause I don't care about what people think or say
(hurts so bad)
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
But I never knew that love could hurt so so much

deborah cox - i don t hurt anymore

I don't hurt anymore
All my teardrops are dried
No more walkin' the floor
With that burnin' inside
Just to think it could be
Time has opened the door
And at last I am free
No, I don't hurt anymore

No use to deny I wanna to die
The day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true

I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
And it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore

No, no use to deny I wanna to die
The day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true

I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
Yes, it's wonderful now
But I don't hurt anymore, yeah
And yes, it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore

deborah cox - i never knew

It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured my whole being
And you left me in a spell

You warmed my heart with passion
desiring all of you
You left me cold in the summer
I wish that I had only knew but I

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

All the nights you left me crying
Keeping company with my fears
That some day you'd leave me lonely
And that's exactly what you did
I swore that I was your baby
the darkest night for you I'd bear
Now that I need you here with me
I call your name and your not there

You left me standing
so empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know
That my love didn't matter
And my world was shattered
Cause you left me here
drowning in tears, oh why

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

Bridge:
After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
Oh why did our love have to go away
I don't know how, I don't know when
All I know is I'll never love this way again

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

I never knew, I never knew,
I never knew it could be like this (repeat)

deborah cox - i won t give up

Either way, you're gonna know
'Cause what I'm feeling, it's gonna show
Friends may say you're out of my league
But I won't be discouraged
'Cause they just can't see

[Chorus:]
I won't give up that easy
No matter how they tease me
You pick me up and I don't wanna come down
I won't give up that easy
'Cause this feels so good to me
I get this feeling every time you come 'round

Who'd have thought that it would be you
To steal my heart and make me feel the way I do
Now all this time, you've been just a friend
You see, they think I'm crazy to want you for my man

There's no way to explain
What I'm going through
All I know is I'm in love with you

[Chorus]

Don't wanna be without you
'Cause every time I think about you
I feel like I'm going crazy out of my head
I just wanna figure out
How I can go about
Making you feel the same

[Chorus x 2]

deborah cox - if it wasn t for love

The candles burn
In your arms I lay
Feel so safe right now
No one else around
My heartbeat cries
Joyous tears fall from my eyes
And I know I'm not the only one
Who feels so afraid
When they fall in love
I was searching so blindly
When you helped me to see

And if it wasn't for love
I would have never made it out
If it wasn't for love
I would have given up by now
Then love set my heart free
And love rescued my dreams
Your love really saved me
If it wasn't for love

I was there
Felt the end was near
Watched my dreams break down
On a lonely road
Your world gave me
So much inner peace
And I know I'm not the only one
Who feels so afraid
When they fall in love
I was searching so blindly
When you helped me to see

And if it wasn't for love
I would have never made it out
If it wasn't for love
I would have given up by now
Then love set my heart free
Then love rescued my dreams
Then love really saved me
If it wasn't for love

Your love

Love
I've been searching for love
If it wasn't for your love
I'd be looking for love
If it wasn't for your love
Love
I've been searching for love
If it wasn't for your love
I'd be looking for love
If it wasn't for your love
Love
I've been searching for love
If it wasn't for your love
I'd be looking for love
Love
I've been searching for love
If it wasn't for your love
I'd be looking for love

Your love
Your love

Love
I've been searching for love
If it wasn't for your love
I'd be looking for love
If it wasn't for your love

deborah cox - it could ve been you

Congratulations baby, it's been a while
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
I hate to say this baby but I think you should know
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go

I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost
For walking out on me

[Chorus:]
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines
You're tryin' to break down my defense
So you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' you baby
'Cause you caused me pain
This time you've gone too far
And now you lost it all in vain

You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
It didn't take that long for you to get over me
Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me
But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in

[Chorus x 2]

I hear she's got you all stressed out
It cost you a fortune just to take her out
You say that she's takin' you for a ride
I coulda told you so
If I had my choice I would be with you
But you could've done much better too
And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love

[Repeat chorus to fade]

deborah cox - it s over now

Try to forget about it
Ordinary things:typical predictable
Baby I knew the end before it started
You got me feelin' like I owed you something
'Cause you were there at times when I had nothing
But you threw it all away
With the shady things you do

Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you

[Chorus:]
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now

[Repeat chorus]

I ignore my intuition
And pass it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold
You kept puttin' it in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me

Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you

[Chorus x 2]

When you were down I helped to pick you up
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
When all the while what you were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it:you'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around and watch me walk
I'm gone

[Chorus x 3]

deborah cox - just a dance

Well it's a party
The lights are low and I'm seein everybody
Just havin some fun
And there's a cutie who's wavin' Hi
Givin me the eye
I guess I'm gonna give him a try, but it's

[Chorus:]
Just a dance nothing more
Leave what happens on the floor
On the floor
You can look but you can't touch because
It's just a dance nothing more
What you need my number for
Ain't no need for you to even think romance
Cause it's just a dance

You might be thinkin'
That because we're dancin close
And we're vibin' that you're gonna get lucky
Take it easy, it's just a party
So let the DJ do his thing and let the music play
Cause it's just a dance

I wanna enjoy the party and have fun like everybody
but your messin' up my groove
What did you come here to do
I won't be goin' home with you

[Chorus]

deborah cox - just be good to me

Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way I see it
'Cause I feel you're already mine
Whenever you're with me

People always talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

You may have many others
But I know when you're with me
You are all mine
Friends seem to always listen
To the bad things that you do
You'll never do that to me, oh no

People always talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

Life is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you I won't try to change
We talk about it and I'd
Rather have a piece of you
Than to have all of nothing

So just be good to me in the morning time
Just be good to me, in the afternoon or evening
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together

I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together
