Angel In Disguise
[Brandy Talking]
An Angel is always been thought
To be one of God's most precious works
I guess that's how she had u fooled
Cause she was an Angel in disguise
Hurt and pain could never come from her
So left me only to find hurt and pain involves her
But now you see your mistakes
And now u see your angel was a fake
But my love was never misplaced
See baby my love is true
And most importantly Still I Love You
[Chorus x2:]
Angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her
Until she broke your heart that day
And left you in the rain
But still I love you
I found it quite strange
The way you said her name
And when you look in her eyes
I see the lust you can't deny
It's more to this tahn what you say
Cause in your sleep you called her name
You say she's just a friend
I knew right then cause the rain began
[Chorus x2]
She seemed so familiar the day that I met her
Who was she foolin' I had a clue what she was doin'
Thoughts of suspicion brought to my attention
I fell in her game I'm so lost
Please stop the rain
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge x2:]
And when my music stops
And when my tear drops
And when the rain ends
My heart will beat again
[Chorus x2]
I love you
I will never do the things she did
Take my heart and run away with it oh no
'Cause I really really love you
[Repeat chorus till the end]

The Boy Is Mine
[ Featuring Monica ]
The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
Uh huh sure, you know, you look kinda familiar
Yeah, you do, too, but I just wanted to know do you know somebody named?
You-you know his name
Oh yeah definitely, I know his name
Well I just want to let you that he's mine
Huh no, no he's mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
Think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man, are you insane?
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make it
Through the day, ain't that a shame?
But maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
All my love was all it took (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (confused, oh)
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
Must you do the things you do?
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it, girl, it's true
I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake
When will you get the picture?
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know, the boy is mine, oh (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see (to see)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up (ooh)
Had about enough (had about enough)
It's not hard to see (he's mine, he's mine, he's mine, he's mine)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry)
Seem to be confused (you seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine
You can't destroy this love I found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
The special place that's in my heart?
He was my love right from the start (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up (give it on up)
Had about enough
It's not hard to see (the boy is mine, oh)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (no, no)
You need to give it up (you need to give it up)
Had about enough ('bout enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (mine, oh)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up (not yours, but mine)
Had about enough (not yours, but mine)
It's not hard to see (not yours, but mine)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Learn The Hard Way
[Chorus]
It's a shame you have to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away
U see I could've made it easy
For you to become a part of me
You could've even say I'm sorry
For all the hurt and pain you caused me
Now I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy
You see I had enough of cryin'
And I'm tired of all the lyrin'
You see I refuse to let you take advantage of me baby
[Chorus]
Never took the time to think of
All the love that we have shared
I realized that most of the time
You were just not there
It was hard for me to see when
When your love was blinding me
But now I know I have to let you go your seperate way
[Chorus]
Things will never be the same
Cause baby, baby you did me wrong
Hurt so bad I can't move on
Was it worth all of your pain
Cause, baby you've got to pay
Got to learn the hard way
[Chorus]
It's a shame you have to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away
U see I could've made it easy
For you to become a part of me
You could've even say I'm sorry
For all the hurt and pain you caused me
Now I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy
You see I had enough of cryin'
And I'm tired of all the lyrin'
You see I refuse to let you take advantage of me baby
[Chorus]
Never took the time to think of
All the love that we have shared
I realized that most of the time
You were just not there
It was hard for me to see when
When your love was blinding me
But now I know I have to let you go your seperate way
[Chorus]
Things will never be the same
Cause baby, baby you did me wrong
Hurt so bad I can't move on
Was it worth all of your pain
Cause, baby you've got to pay
Got to learn the hard way

Almost Doesnt Count
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I didn't I
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep on lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no doubt be there kind of man
You came real close
But everytime you built me up
You only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya 'round
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I didn't I
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven

Top Of The World
Brandy, Dark Child
Mase get Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I went from Helly Hansen to mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now, move like Tarzan now
Got a butter soft leather just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley, come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So I might give a six to my chick, Benz to my mom
Crib so big it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since Lotto's and Benneton
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed, yeah
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me, like you, I have to try and solve them
Yes, everything is quite the same, whoa
I'm just trying to be me (be me)
Doing what I got to do (doing what I gotta do)
Some people think that I'm (that I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (sittin', sittin' on top of the world)
I'm just trying to be me (yeah)
Provin' what I got to do (provin', oh)
Some people think that I'm (that I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (oh yeah)
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world (yeah, yeah)
I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, oh
Always in someone's eye, so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself, always me and someone else (I need)
I need to be free but it's not that easy
I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I got to do
Some people think that I'm (sittin', sittin')
Just sittin' on top of the world (on top of the world)
I'm just trying to be me (yeah)
Provin' what I got to do (provin', oh)
Some people think that I'm (that I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (sittin' on top of the world)
Sittin' on top of the world
Don't understand why (don't understand why)
People think I don't have friends who knew me back then
This was my dream (this was my dream)
But nothing has changed
I still do the same things
Yo, we can cut the talkin' short if it ain't about cake
I ain't sittin' on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat with a new BM
If you mess wit Brand' then I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like "Who's his friend?"
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now, either you wit'
The cats who make the hits or the one that see the chips
(Slow down Mase, you're killing 'em) But don't stop it
What's the use of buying the weight, if I'ma have to chop it?
I used to love the lady, 'til I learned her logic
She only mess wit Mase, know the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris', he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum wit ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it
I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I got to do
Some people think that I'm (think that I'm just sittin' on top of the world)
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just trying to be me
Provin' what I got to do (provin' what I gotta do)

U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)
How could you lie to me
After all we've been through?
It's just so sad to see me in love with you.
I gave you all of me,
But still it wasn't enough for you.
Is this how love's supposed to be?
Now I'm trying to get over you.
[Chorus]
You ain't missin' me.
You won't pick up the phone and call.
You don't love me
Like you used to.
Tell me what is going on.
You got me standing here alone.
You don't know me
Like you used to.
Remember what you said
When you stepped up on the scene?
You got into my head,
Had me stressin' like a fiend
No, I just can't forget
How you put that thing on me.
I wish we never met;
This way I won't be lonely.
[Chorus]
You don't know me,
Know me like you used to.
You don't know me.

Never Say Never
Who would ever thought a guy
Would want a girl like me
Who would ever thought that I
Would fall so easily
Who would ever thought that we
Would finally come to be
I guess they don't know
How much you mean to me
Who would ever thought that they
Would have some words to say
We'll go on anyway
It's alright - it's okay
Take whatever comes our way
Together we will stay
I got three words to say
Never say never
I can't believe they'd stop our happiness
By trying to pull us down with such a mess
Why can't they let us live just like the rest
And keep us out of all this crazy madness
Now when they talk I think it's just a shame
That all they do is sit and think my name
When all that i do mainly
Sit and think about my baby and me
Now baby they can't believe that
You and me are together
That's why they should have never
Never said never
There were times when we thought that
You and me could never be together
That's why we should have never
Never said never
Now there's a lot of talkin' goin' round
About the way me and you are gettin' down
What are they jealous are they hatin' me
I guess they all have their own Ph.Ds
I wish that they would just stop sweatin' me
Stop tryin' to get the best of me
No matter what they say baby
We gotta move on cause we're gonna be happy
We didn't let the thoughts that we had
We didn't let the words that they said
Keep us from the love we now have
Never say never
Simply for me to see when
Never would've been never if allowed
Now that we are together
Never say never
Would want a girl like me
Who would ever thought that I
Would fall so easily
Who would ever thought that we
Would finally come to be
I guess they don't know
How much you mean to me

Truthfully
How could she ever fool around
Don't know what she was thinking 'bout
While you were giving love
She let you down
Boy I know that you want to be alone
Cause she broke your heart
And she sent you home
And you're wondering why
She was so cold
Well when they lie
They have to lie again
Cause the lying never ends
So...
Truthfully
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me
(Baby) I'll never lie
AAnd you're the reason
I will always tells the truth
Cause the truth resides in me
Boy I know it's a crying shame
Baby no no you shouldn't blame
Yourself for what she did
She was insane
Maybe where you go I will go
Whatever makes you happy
Let me know
My heart will be right there
To console you
Maybe the lies will never begin
I will be your lover, your best friend
So...
Truthfully
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me
(Baby) I'll never lie
AAnd you're the reason
I will always tells the truth
Cause the truth resides in me
I will never say goodbye
And I don't want to see you cry
God only knows I love you
But it's written in my eyes
You are the only one for me
There's no way I could ever leave
I would never, no never never lie to you
Truthfully
Don't know what she was thinking 'bout
While you were giving love
She let you down
Boy I know that you want to be alone
Cause she broke your heart
And she sent you home
And you're wondering why
She was so cold
Well when they lie
They have to lie again
Cause the lying never ends
So...
Truthfully
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me
(Baby) I'll never lie
AAnd you're the reason
I will always tells the truth
Cause the truth resides in me
Boy I know it's a crying shame
Baby no no you shouldn't blame
Yourself for what she did
She was insane
Maybe where you go I will go
Whatever makes you happy
Let me know
My heart will be right there
To console you
Maybe the lies will never begin
I will be your lover, your best friend
So...
Truthfully
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me
(Baby) I'll never lie
AAnd you're the reason
I will always tells the truth
Cause the truth resides in me
I will never say goodbye
And I don't want to see you cry
God only knows I love you
But it's written in my eyes
You are the only one for me
There's no way I could ever leave
I would never, no never never lie to you
Truthfully

Have You Ever?
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
Just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
Cause baby I can't sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
Just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
Cause baby I can't sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Put That On Everything
If you're looking to find
A love that will stand till the end of time
Baby relax your mind my love is here
I'll do anything I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing
I put that on everything
I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think on thoughts of love
And I'll appear
Before I dream
I lay and think of you every night
Honest to god
I'm telling you the truth
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much
More each day
I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountains highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things
A love that will stand till the end of time
Baby relax your mind my love is here
I'll do anything I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing
I put that on everything
I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think on thoughts of love
And I'll appear
Before I dream
I lay and think of you every night
Honest to god
I'm telling you the truth
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much
More each day
I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountains highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things

Happy
I don't even know
How it got this way
When I first met you
I never thought your love was true
But I'm glad I saw just what was in store
All the while you plan to be my man
Now I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
You make me happy
You make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby can't you see that
You make me happy
Make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby,baby,baby
In search of happiness
Tryin' to find someone
Who can make my life so complete baby
If I only knew that someone was you boy
There would have been more happy days
So don't you go away
[Chorus]
No one can make me feel this way
You always seem to brighten up my day
[Chorus]
How it got this way
When I first met you
I never thought your love was true
But I'm glad I saw just what was in store
All the while you plan to be my man
Now I'm in love with you

You make me happy
You make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby can't you see that
You make me happy
Make me feel so good

One Voice
I ad a dream, a crazy vision
It may sound strange, this intuition
But it was true beyond description
And somehow I knew that it was real
When I saw
One sky above, there is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
I've seen the fires of deep division
The hearts of stone, the cold ambition
But I have found my sacred mission
To live in this world and still believe
That there is
One sky above, there is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
A song that heals
A melody of reason and freedom
With wordsthat will speak for the weak
The hopeful and the strong
Sing is for everyone
Cause there is one sky above
There is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
Yes there is only one sky above
One source of love
If I got one chance, one choice
So sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
Sing it with one song
One voice
It may sound strange, this intuition
But it was true beyond description
And somehow I knew that it was real
When I saw
One sky above, there is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
I've seen the fires of deep division
The hearts of stone, the cold ambition
But I have found my sacred mission
To live in this world and still believe
That there is
One sky above, there is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
A song that heals
A melody of reason and freedom
With wordsthat will speak for the weak
The hopeful and the strong
Sing is for everyone
Cause there is one sky above
There is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
Yes there is only one sky above
One source of love
If I got one chance, one choice
So sing it from the heart
One song, one voice
Sing it with one song
One voice

Tomorrow
Confused, not anymore
I mean at one point, I thought I was wrong
But you see, he lied, he cheated
He betrayed me, then he left
But I won't hurt anymore
'Cause now, all my pain is gone
So long
So long to all my pain
Goodnight to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving
Oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ah
If you would only treat me right
I'd stay here by your side
But I am down to my last cry
So I'm leaving you, goodbye
You turned away from opportunities
To sit and talk things through
But now when I'm saying I'm leaving you
You have so much to prove
So long to all my pain
Goodnight to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving tomorrow
Stop writing me sweet letters and
Calling me on the phone
We argued constantly when I saw you
Always left me in the cold
I made the choice to finally go
Cause I can't stand this pain
It's time for my last tear to fall
And me to smile again
So long to all my pain
Goodnight to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving tomorrow
Sorrows and heartache
Goodbye, I'm leaving you, oh
Don't wanna meet again
Has got to be the end
The end, oh
The sun will finally shine on me
And clouds will drift away
There's something that's in store for me
That's my brighter day, oh
So long to all my pain
Goodnight to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving tomorrow
So long to all my pain
Goodnight to my heartache
Now I just can't wait
Tomorrow's too late
I'm leaving you today
Whoa, yeah
I mean at one point, I thought I was wrong
But you see, he lied, he cheated
He betrayed me, then he left
But I won't hurt anymore
'Cause now, all my pain is gone

You know its true, everything I do, I do it for you

Never Say Never is the second studio album by American singer Brandy. It was released on June 9, 1998, by Atlantic Records. Atlantic consulted David Foster, as well as producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and his team to work with Norwood on the record; Jerkins went on to craft the majority of the album and would evolve as Norwood's mentor and head producer on her succeeding projects.
The lyrical themes on the album include the singer's personal experiences with love, monogamy, media bias, and maturity. Influenced by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, Norwood wanted to present a more mature facet of herself with the album, incorporating a ballad-heavy style and an adult contemporary feel into her urban pop sound for the album.
Upon its release, Never Say Never facilitated Norwood in becoming a viable recording artist with media-crossing appeal. It debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 160,000 copies in its first week, and peaked at No. 2 the following week, remaining within the chart's top 20 for 28 weeks. Six of the album's 16 songs were chosen as singles, including duet with Monica "The Boy Is Mine" and "Have You Ever?", which both topped the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as "Top of the World", which become an international hit.
Never Say Never became Norwood's highest-selling and highest-charting album to date in most international markets, being certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and selling over 16 million copies worldwide. It won numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "The Boy Is Mine". The album was supported by the Never Say Never World Tour (1999), which included sold-out shows in North America, Europe, & Asia.
