the o jays - 992 arguments

992 arguments
992, quit just a-fighting
992, I'm sick of you

I can't even go down to the corner
To get myself a cold, cold beer
Cause when I come back to the house
Your mouth is the only thing I'm gonna hear

It's a shame
All this fussing and fighting we're doing
Don't you know that it's got to stop
Don't make sense to go on this way
Our love affair is a total flop

992 arguments
992, quit just a-fighting
992, I'm sick of you

I don't want to leave you
But I gotta tell you just how it is
Life is too short to live in this arena
There's so much that has to give

Maybe we just weren't meant for each other
You know, we might have made a big mistake
But two people understand one another
Tell me, how long does it take

992 arguments
992, quit just a-fighting
992, I'm sick of you

Maybe we just weren't meant for each other
You know, we might have made a big mistake
But two people understand one another
Tell me, how long does it take

992 arguments

the o jays - brandy

Sittin' by the open fire place
In my favorite dungarees
Played a few bars of a melody
And it sounded sweet to me

I thought I'd get up and take a look around
But my feet got in the way
Stumbled to the floor, she was right in the door
I could see her face

But how could it be
She ran away from me
My best friend's gone
I'm so all alone

I kinda miss you, Brandy
I'm so all alone
When are you comin' back home
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin' you every day
Are you comin' home to stay

Cause I love you, Brandy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sipping on a cherry soda pop
Building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy
Just a fraction of a man

But I was in love when they put her down
On my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love comin' to my heart
Through my window pane

But how could I know
She would just up and go
My best friend gone
I'm so all alone

I really miss you, Brandy
I'm so all alone
When are you comin' back home
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin' you every day
Are you comin' home to stay

I kinda miss you, Brandy
When are you comin' back home
I'm so all alone
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin' you every day
Are you comin' home to stay

Oh, I really miss you, Brandy

Oh, I really miss you, Brandy
Missin' you every day

the o jays - christmas ain 039 t christmas

Christmas just ain't Christmas,
Without the one you love,
New Years just ain't New Years,
Without the one you love.

Underneath the mistletoe,
I saw a face all aglow,
Last year this time,
Now I'm staying home alone,
And my house is not a home,
Without that girl of mine.

Christmas just ain't Christmas,
Without the one you love,
And New Years just ain't New Years,
Without the one you love.

Twelve o'clock and all is well,
And I was doing oh so swell,
Last year, this time,
Goin' shopping with friends together,
Making vows to leave each other, never,
It was a waste of time.

Christmas just ain't Christmas,
Without the one you love,
New Years just ain't New Years,
Without the one you love.

Christmas just ain't Christmas,
Without the one you love,
New Years just ain't New Years,
Without the one you love.

Christmas just ain't Christmas,
Without the one you love,
New Years just ain't New Years,
Without the one you love

It?s so nice to see
All the folks you love together

Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now

Family reunion {Got to have}
A family reunion
Family reunion
{It?s so nice to come together} To come together

You know the family is the solution to the world?s problems today
Now let?s take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers
That would be great
Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There?s supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there?s the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So we?re back again to the father
And he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Then we have the daughter
Watching her mother
Be-because sooner or later she?s gonna be a mother
And she?ll have her own sons and daughters
It don?t, it don?t just stop there with the family or
Of-of yours or mine
It?s a universal family
Under one divine purpose
And one divine father
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Because that?s all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
?Cause you?ll bleed

Hoo...
Family, family reunion
It?ll be nice, so nice, so nice

I lay all my weekly burdens down
I put on my glad rags
And paint the town

Friday night alive

Don't stop when I party down

Party hard, party down
Party hard, party down

Soon as on Monday
Rolls around again
I got to put all that
Partying to an end

Got to solve that same old grind
With those five day week
Sometimes, I get frustrated
Through the day, take off early
And a cut in pay

At the time, I don't really care
Because I done took
All that I can bear

That's when I party down

Party hard, party down
