lisa stansfield - all around the world

I don't know where my baby is
but I'll find him, somewhere, somehow
I've got to let him know how much I care
I'll never give up looking for my baby

Chorus:
Been around the world and I, I, I
I can't find my baby
I don't know when, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But I'm gonna find him

We had a quarrel and I let myself go
I said so many things, things he didn't know
And I was oh oh so bad
And I don't think he's comin' back, mm mm

He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
And he said so many things he never said before
And he was oh oh so mad
And I don't think he's comin', comin' back

I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

(Chorus)

So open hearted, he never did me wrong
I was the one, the weakest one of all
And now I'm oh oh so sad
And I don't think he's comin' back, comin' back

I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

(Chorus x 2)

I'm gonna find him, my baby

I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

(Chorus)

I've been around the world, lookin' from my baby
Been around the world, and I'm gonna
I'm gonna find him

(Chorus)

lisa stansfield - baby i need your lovin

Baby, I need your lovin', I need your lovin'
Although you're never here, your voice I often hear
Another day, another night, I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

(Chorus)
Baby, I need your lovin', got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin', got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness for someone to have to beg
Then weak I'd rather be, if it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losing sleep

(Chorus x 2)

Every night, I call your name
Sometimes I wonder, will it ever be the same
Darlin' I can't go on without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
This loneliness inside me darlin'
Makes me feel half alive

(Chorus x 2)

Baby

lisa stansfield - something s happenin

Don't ask a question, then I won't tell a lie
Didn't want connections, but this thing is taking over
It's workin' overtime, I didn't know emotions

Bridge
Could make me feel this high
I feel like I could fly, like luck is on my side

Chorus
Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

I've lost control over my own heart
It's got me reeling now, and this is just the start
Know where you come from, I'm in touch with your mind
No, this can't be undone
This love is for all time
It wasn't meant to hide
It's warming me inside

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus (x 4)

lisa stansfield - 8 3 1

The way I want you babe
It's embarrassing
I can't control myself
It's just too much for me
I can't concentrate
I don't know what to say
Except your name baby
The sweetest name

And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

When you say my name
I begin to shake
I break out in a sweat
This is the best it gets
There's nothing second rate
About this feeling babe
It's forever come what may
It's what I hope and pray yeah
And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this baby

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts
8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

It's understanding and it's understood
And baby it sure feels good

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this baby

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

lisa stansfield - a boy you have known

This song is for listening to
On nights you're all alone
Black face at the window pane
Or a silent telephone

Chorus:
And it's all about a boy you have known
With black hair or brown hair
And hands made of stone

He had eyes like the (deep?) in the sky
Hair like the clouds you've seen floating by
And my sky was your cloud
You made the first smile i had ever worn

(Chorus)

Do you wonder if he knows now
Of the pain behind your eyes
The scorching in your throat
Or the half forgotten sighs
Do you try hard to sleep
And feel old memories
Creeping to the dark folds of night
??? Your glace and made me dance
The first dance i had ever seen

(Chorus)

lisa stansfield - a little more love

Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me

And I'm so happy
You're the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time

(You know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I can't understand it
Maybe you've found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do

Looking into your eyes now
I don't see the love we had
I don't see compassion
I don't see anything

(Chorus)
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love

And a little more time
I don't see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air

Baby when you hold me
You don't touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby I'll do anything

(Chorus)

I can see you're slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
'Cos baby without you I don't think that I can carry on

(Chorus x 4)

lisa stansfield - affection

Feel the sun on your face and the wind in you hair
And a big, big love in your heart
So strong
Feel a hand in your hand and a whisper sweet and low
That says I love you

Spoken:
We all know what we want

Chorus:
Affection, it's a way of life
Direction, all of us know which way we're going
With our affection
Affection, may be big or small but know that
We can have it all with our affection
We know which way to go

Take a walk in the sun with the one you love
And a big, big love in your heart
So strong
And rest a little while, keep on smilin', smilin'

Spoken:
We all know what we want

Chorus

Well, you could lay down and die for the one you're lovin'
There's a sweet, sweet love in your heart
So strong
When you're dancin' on the air, like you don't care
It's honey on your lips and sweeter to your fingertips
You know what we want

Chorus

lisa stansfield - ain t nobody here but us chickens

One night Farmer Brown was taken the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse somethin' stirred
When he shouted,"Who's There?", this is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around, shakin' the ground, kickin' up an aweful dust
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

(Bridge)
Tomorrow is a busy day, we've got things to do, we've got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
Takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

(Repeat Bridge)

It's easy pickin', ain't nobody here but us chickens

lisa stansfield - ain t what you do

When I was a kid, about half past three
My ma said daughter, come here to me
Says, things may come and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know

(Chorus)
Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it (x3)
That's what gets results

Ain't what you do, it's time that you do it (x3)
That's what gets results

You can try hard, don't mean a thing
Take it easy, easy, in the jive'n swing

Ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
Aint what you do, it's the time that you do it
Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
That's what gets results

You've learned your ABCs, you've learned your DFGs
But this is something you don't learn in school
So get your hip boots on, and then you carry on
But remember not to try too hard or it don't mean a thing

(Chorus)

Ain't what you do, it's the time you do it (2x)
Ain't what you sing it's the way that you sing it
That's what gets results (2x)

lisa stansfield - alibi s

It's no use you saying
That you can't be staying
'Round this place anymore
Then there's no point remaining
That the sky keeps on raining
'Round this particular door

Then it's no surprise
All you keep giving me
All you keep giving me
Are your alibis
They're only alibis

It's no use you dreaming
Of old times and feelings
That just aren't there anymore
Then there's no use you scheming
About ways to stop me leaving
Because I've heard it all before

And it's no surprise
All you keep giving me
All you keep giving me
Are your alibis
They're only alibis

There's no sense in crying
Or sitting down and sighing
It doesn't work anymore
And talking's out of fashion
There's no substitute for passion
And I can't take it anymore

And it's no surprise
'Cos all you keep giving me
All you keep giving me
Are your alibis
All you keep giving me
All you keep giving me
Are your alibis
All you keep giving me
All you keep giving me
Are your alibis

lisa stansfield - all over me

I don't wanna go out tonight
Wanna turn down the light
Wanna light that fire
So we can take it higher
I don't wanna go clubin'
I wanna make some lovin'
So honey come on over here
And give me some of what I want I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight
I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight

Baby, you know all I need
Is a little good company
You fit that bill
So let me take that pill
I love the way you slide
The way you take your time
You turn me up real slow
Until I'm ready to explode

I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight
I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight

lisa stansfield - all woman

He's home again from another day
She smiles at him as he walks through the door
She wonders if it will be okay
It's hard for her when he doesn't respond
He says babe you look a mess
You look dowdy in that dress
It's just not like it used to be
Then she says...

I may not be a lady
But I'm All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I work harder than you know
I'm no classy lady
But I'm All Woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one

She stands there and lets the tears flow
Tears that she's been holding back so long
She wonders where did all the loving go
The love they used to share when they were strong

She says yes I look a mess
But I don't love you any less
I thought you always thought enough of me
To always be impressed

I may not be a lady
But I'm All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I work my fingers to the bone
I'm no classy lady
But I'm All Woman
This woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one

He holds her and hangs his head in shame
He doesn't see her like he used to do
He's too wrapped up in working for his pay
He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through

Attention that he paid
Just vanished in the haze
He remembers how it used to be
When he used to say

You'll always be a lady
Cause You're All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I love you much more than you know
You're a classy lady
Cause You're All Woman
This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm

You're the only one
You're a classy lady
Cause You're All Woman

So sweet the love that used to be
So sweet the love that used to be

We can be sweet again

lisa stansfield - baby come back

Spending all my nights. all my money going out of the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes and I"m back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

Chorus:
Baby come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back
You can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you

All day long wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Repeat

Now that I've pulled it up all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Is there nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me

lisa stansfield - be mine

My sweet joy.

It's the little things you do that make me love you,
The way you touch my hair,
The way you care,
And when night-time comes around,
I fall asleep with you,
So I can dream the day all over again.

With sweet sweet love runnin' through me,
I give you everything I have and everything I can be,
I can't stand the thought of ever losing you,
So baby stay with me.

Chorus:
May you always be mine,
Babe I want you for all time,
May you always be mine

From the moment you take hold of me,
I wake up,
You wake up my very soul,
Time just flies away the more you kiss me,
May we forever share this love affair.

Chorus

Babe I can't explain that it's like walking in the rain,
And I thank God for the day I found you,
We've got the lot with the love we've got,
So let it stay...

Chorus

lisa stansfield - big thing

Chorus:
Love is a big thing
And we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing
And we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing

I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time
Nothing's getting in the way
There's nothing I can fight
I can wait forever, baby
To be by your side
I can wait forever, baby
To be with you again
Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Chorus

Gonna tell the world about you
And all you've given me
No one gives me lovin', baby
The way you give me love
I'm waiting for your arms to hold me
And just to touch your face
I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time
Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Chorus

I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time
Nothing's getting in the way
There's nothing I can fight

To be with you again
Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Chorus

I can wait forever
I can wait forever
