monica - a grown up christmas list

Verse 1:
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream
So here's my life-long wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need

Chorus:
No more lives torn apart
Then wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
Then right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

Verse 2:
May kindness rule our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years gone by
This is the world I pray
We will all share someday
Help me begin by reaching out my hand

Chorus

Verse 3:
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth

Chorus

This is the year I hope you hear
This is my grown up Christmas list
Ooh...
Christmas list...

monica - a moment like this

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feeling we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell ya love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment, like this

Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so simple i can't explain ..oh..
Well I may be dreamin
But til I awake
Can't we make this dream last forever ..oh..
And i'll cherish all the love we share

For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment, like this

Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall (fall)
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a life for a moment like this
ohh like this

ohh oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a life time for a moment like this

ooh oh like this

(Missy)

Dont you ever interrupt me when I'm listening to a Monica record

(Crowd)

Ohhhhhh

(Missy)

Yeah
Straight out the slumming streets of A-T-L

through the hurricanes, torandoes, and thunderstorms
The climate has now changed
And the storm is now over
I repeat the storm is now over
Let us begin
Hey yo Monica turn the volume up

monica - ain t gonna cry no more

Verse 1:

inseparable that's how we were
through anything you were my world
I gave to you, you shared with me
for the love of you I give anything
I would chill wit you, you and your crew
never complained 'bout the things you do
but I see it now, how it all went down
I can't take no more don't want you around
never told me the whole truth
never wishing that I knew the real you
how could you do this to me?
never hurt so much, I see
plans i made for you and me, they can't be
these are the last tears that you see from me

Chorus:

Cause I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm sick of you hurting me
I ain't gonna cry no more
Because you don't deserve me
I ain't gonna cry no more
Pack your stuff up and leave
I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm tired of you,me,and she

Verse 2:

and now I can't believe all the things you did
all your secret trips just to see your kids
what about the crib that I never been
cause that's the one that she lives in
but soon you see cause the man is not
in your love affair will soon be forgot
and you will miss me but I won't miss you
you can pull the key cause now we're through
never told me the whole truth
never wishing that I knew the real you
you didn't have to do what you did to me
now you want her so now I see plans
we made for you and me they can't be
these are the last tears that you see from me

Chorus:

I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm sick of you hurting me
I ain't gonna cry no more
Because you don't deserve me
I ain't gonna cry no more
Pack your stuff up and leave
and don't forget to leave my key
I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm tired of you,me,and she

Verse 3:

used to think that you and me were in love
for sure but I was wrong cause you led me on
but now I found I'm cool without you around
you gotta bounce, i'm tired

Chorus:

I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm sick of you hurting me
It's not the fact that it's your baby
I ain't gonna cry no more
But it's the fact that you lied
Because you don't deserve me
And it hurt me
I ain't gonna cry no more
Pack your stuff up and leave
Cause you don't mean me no good
I ain't gonna cry no more
Cause I'm tired of you,me,and she

Repeat Chorus 1x

Bridge:

i'm sick of you
i'm through with you
i'm done with you
i'm tired of your lies

Repeat Chorus 1x

{Monica}

You've been more than good to me

Never front in front of your friends

Spending time, to let me know that I'm on your mind, baby

And everytime I say "I need you" it's from inside
Cuz my heart is forever,the things you do
You do just for me, that's why I love you baby

Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain't nobody gonna treat you the way I treat you
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Ain't nobody to compare to

{Treach}
You think your lucky caught a quicky in a nap
A hicky on your lap
That's the payback for the scratches you left on my back
You wouldn't need a toy-friend with a boyfriend
Or somethin proper if you slept under the thunder
Keep my number I heard your next best is now ya next ex
'Cause in the middle what a best sex "Hey yo Treach"
An' I ain't mad at'cha yet
What'cha pimp daddy don't know won't hurt him.
Who loves ya best?

{Monica}
Treat me like your young lady
Special things you say to me
Feels so good to be with you my baby
Doesn't matter what they think

There's no need to feel ashamed
Cuz you're on my mind

And everytime I say "I love you" it's with a pride
And everytime i say "I need you" it's from inside
Cuz my heart is forever, the things you do
You do just for me, that's why I love you baby

[chorus x 2]

That's why I love you baby

{Treach}

monica - amazing

Oh na na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na na
Everything I am, everything I was
Has been elevated through the power of your love
Everything I lost, everything I?ve been
No longer makes a difference since you changed my name

Bridge:
Got my heart beat faster, I can barely catch my breath!
Boy, you took the pain from my chest!
Now I look at us, parallel to the stars
Boy, you claim my heart, you?re so amazing!

Chorus:
Amazing, when I thought that I have seen it all
Came and shown me I ain?t seen nothing
you are amazing
when my back was up against the wall
It was you that hit the restart ?
Took me to a better place, show me some better way
Now I should be living my life each and every day
Been through so much, never thought that you would exist
But nobody made me feel like this!
You are amazing!

Everywhere I?ve been, everything I?ve done
All the? fells in comparison to the compassion you show me
Every time that you hold me
And when I?m in your arms, I can do anything for you

Bridge:
Got my heart beat faster, I can barely catch my breath!
Boy, you took the pain from my chest!
Now I look at us, parallel to the stars
Boy, you claim my heart, you?re so amazing!

Chorus:
Amazing, when I thought that I have seen it all
Oh na na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na na

..you never left my sight
I was lost, but you found me and saved my life
I could have died, no love inside
Before you I was stone inside
But you made me feel again
Boy, I swear you are amazing!

Oh na na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na na
You are amazing
When I thought that I have seen it all
Came and shown me I ain?t seen nothing
you are amazing
when my back was up against the wall
It was you that hit the restart ?
Took me to a better place, show me some better way
Now I should be living my life each and every day
Been through so much, never thought that you would exist
And nobody made me feel like this!
You are amazing!

Gave me a new life when you made me your wife
yes you did!
And I love, love, love you
Is nothing I would not do for you?

monica - angel

Now here's the situation
Lack of communication
It's tearing our love apart
You play me like a ninny
Cause I won't give you any
Now you won't call me at all
But if you want me (yeah)

If you need me

And I'll always (always)
I'll always gonna be there for you, oh oh ah

Love me, yeah
Boy I'll be your angel
Love me baby
Love me, yeah
Boy I'll be your angel
Angel baby

So much for your commitment
You told me you were different
From all the creeps that I know
Though you say you love me
That don't make it right
If you aim boy, then I'll promise you all of me

But if you want me
I'll be there in a minute
If you need me
I'll show you I care for you
And I'll always (always)
I'll always gonna be there for you, oh oh yeah

Love me, yeah
Boy I'll be your angel
Love me baby
Love me, yeah (Boy I'll be, boy I'll be)
Boy I'll be your angel
Angel baby

monica - angel of mine

When I first saw you ,
I already knew
There was something, inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

I looked at you, Looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm gonna love you boy, you are so fine
angel of mine

How you changed my world

You came into my life,
sent from above
when I lost all hope
you showed me love
im checkin' for you boy, you're right on time
angel of mine

Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved,
You're still on my mind
Angel of Mine

What you mean to me,
You'll never know
Deep inside,
I need to show

You came into my life,

when I lost all hope
You showed me love

As if it were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make
I only share it with you

When I first saw you,

There was something, inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

monica - anything

As we proceed to give you what you need
As we proceed to give you what you need

Likes the morning dude
I took one look at you
And it was play and seek
You were my destiny

We the big bank boys on the boulevard
Putting all the pretty girls into pretty cars
They shall not f*ck with rose pockets
Feel the honey shots when I pop it
I feel for you, vodka, rum on my arm
20 million teflon don, god bless
All the D boys on the rest
With my baby girl on my side, baby, baby

I've been looking for someone special for a long, long time
Someone that I can share my dream, someone I can call mine
And every night I'm wishing, hoping, that he's only getting closer
Cause I, oh I, gonna find you, want to know you

And I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no

I've been there so many times from the guys in my head
And when I find somebody new, it don't never lasts
And every night I'm wishing, hoping, that he's only getting closer
Cause I, oh I, gonna find you, want to know you

I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no

And I'm tired of being by myself
I need someone there, to give all of this love that I got
I'm open, won't you come inside?
Man, I promise that I will treat you better than right

Gotta know, Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me, for me
Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me

I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no

I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no

As we proceed to give you what you need
As we proceed to give you what you need

monica - before you walk out of my life

Oh oh oh, oh yeah yes, oh oh oh, my, my

Here we are face to face
With the memories that can't be erased
Although we need each other
Things that changed, it's not the same

Sometimes it makes me wonder
Where would I be, if you hadn't discovered
Which I did, inside of me
I know there was something, that we could compare

Oh, well, I,

1-Never meant to cause you no pain
I just wanna go back to being the same
Well I, only wanna make things right
Before you walk out of my life

Remembering the good times
From a portrait hung on high
It's filled with so much color
And the laughter we left behind
I made the choice and you couldn't decide
I made the choice, I was wrong you were right
Deep down inside, I apologize
(rpt 1)

Though I made plans with you
To always have time for you
(Before you walk out of my life)
I guess it's true, cannot live without you
Don't ever go away, ooh oh yeah
(rpt 1, 1)

Before you walk out of my life

monica - believing in me

I apologize for what I've done
I admit that I was losing control
Didn't know that I was selling my soul
To someone who didn't care at all

Couldn't see that you were bad for me
Gave so much 'til it was making me weak
Now I can't believe the way that it feels
To finally be free

I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where I know I belong
And I'm glad that you're gone
'Cause you're not what I need, I'm believing in me

I moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where I know I belong
'Cause I'm right and you're wrong
'Cause you're not what I need, this time I'm believing in me

The love I had for you was so deep
I didn't notice there was something wrong with me
When someone asked me was there anything I need
I would cry and tell them, pray for me
But now I know exactly what it is

So I'm changing up the way that I live
I'm never letting go of my dreams
And baby, you'll see
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where I know I belong

And I'm glad that you're gone
'Cause you're not what I need, I'm believing in me
I moved on and I'm strong
Going back to the place where I know I belong

'Cause I'm right and you're wrong
You're not what I need, I'm finally believing in me
So, I hope you can forgive me
I'm not gonna be the way that I used to be

Starting over can be so scary
But I'm gonna believe
Promise, I'm not gonna let me down
And my transformation's starting right now

But I'm really glad you stuck around
'Cause you believed in me
So, I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where I know I belong

And I'm glad that you're gone
'Cause you're not what I need, I'm believing in me
I moved on and I'm strong
Going back to the place where I know I belong

'Cause I'm right and you're wrong
You are not what I needed, I'm finally believin' in me
Finally, finally believe in me, me, me
Finally, finally believe in me, me, me

monica - breaks my heart

Hey, yeah...
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh, yeah
Oh...oh...

When I think of what Ive done all the pain that Ive
brung
Baby, you should have walked out on me
And when Ive turned away from you whenever there were
hard times
How could you still be with me

And there is no mistake when I hurt you that day
And went out with somebody new
But still you forgave me like it was so easy
I should have been mad at you

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me is not so easy to do
And I dont mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And its hard to believe after everything
That youre still here right beside me
Wouldnt trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein your girl

Never gave you my heart cause I never thought
You deserved any of me
I never told you how I felt when deep inside I knew
that
Youre really what I need

And I always gave you up whenever I saw
Something better come along
And right when I come back youre waitin for me
And you welcome me home

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me is not so easy to do
And I dont mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And its hard to believe after everything
Youre still here right beside me
Wouldnt trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein your girl

And if it takes my whole life Ill make it up to you
Cause Ive been so cruel
And youve given your love to me in spite of
everything
I-I dont deserve you

From this day forward Im truly yours
But it took me a whole to see
That we were meant for one another
Thank you for loving me

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me is not so easy to do
And I dont mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And its hard to believe after everything
Youre still here right beside me
Wouldnt trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein your girl

Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me is not so easy to do
And I dont mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through

And its hard to believe after everything
Youre still here right beside me
Wouldnt trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein your girl

monica - breathe

I've tried, and I've lied
To myself, to stop the tears
But it's been, to many years
And you keep doing the same thing
Making the same old promises
Before you play with my heart again
Imma keep it one hundred, it's been on my mind
And before you get to lying

Let me tell you I'm sorry (sorry)
But I can't be here anymore (no no nooo)
Baby I'm sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me, when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I can breathe

You say you want me by your side, but you won't even try
To listen when I'm telling you the simple things
(Baby it's the simple things that matter in life)
I don't wanna fight you no more
I don't wanna waste no time
Imma keep it one hundred, this been on my mind
So don't lie

I'm telling you I'm sorry (sorry)
But I can't be here anymore (no no nooo)
Baby I'm sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me, when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I can

Get back what you stole
Rebuild what you broke down
Won't be no more crying myself, to sleep
I'm over you
Time is over due
No need for another lie
Cause I made up my mind

Baby I'm sorry
I can't be here anymore (no no nooo)
I'm so sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I, can breathe
