Luther Vandross - The Best of Luther Vandross... The Best of Love Album Lyrics

A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

Whoa...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Girl

A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears

Pretty little darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah...

I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said still in love
Still in love with you...yeah...

Are you gonna be in love with me
I want you and need to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby
Couldn't be still in love with me

Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Well, well, well, well
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be
Say that you're gonna be

Still in love with me, yeah...
With me, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Still in love with me, yeah...yeah...

The last time we had a party
It ended when the sun came up
That's why your mama told you
That you couldn't go out
Stay in the house

[Chorus:]
Bad boy
He's gonna sneak out tonight
He's gonna tip by her window
'Cause he sure wants to get out and dance
Everyone's here, let 'em all in
The chandelier downstairs has fallen
I know it's hard toresist
This is the party no one wanted to miss
But if you don't get home on the double, boy
You're going to be in trouble
I hope your mama don't look in your room
'Cause if she does she'll be here soon

Boy, she's gonna be mad
You're a bad boy and you've got it bad boy
Boy, say goodbye to your friends
'Cause it's gonna be a while til you see them again

[Chorus]

Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
Having a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
You can't go

[Chorus]

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore
And with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby
Next time I'll be kinder, to my lady
Won't you please help me find her (I've got to find that girl)
Someone just remind her
Of this love she left behind her
Til I find her I'll be trying to
Everyday I'm growing kinder
Tryin' to find her,find her
Inclined to find my baby (My baby)
I've been looking everywhere (My baby)
Hey baby I really really care

My determination is fading fast
So fast, so fast so fast
Exploration is a thing of the past
I can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
So sad, so sad, so sad

[Chorus and Fade]

[Bridge:]
Like when we used to be in love
But now you've got your head on another cloud
Girl, we had a good thing
But now you've turned around
Don't you even care how this love
We've had turns out

[Chorus:]
(Promise me, you'll leave me never)
(That we'll be in love forever)
(Promise me, you'll leave me never)
(And that we'll be in love forever)

We can work at our love
And make it all brand-new
If we stay together
There's nothing we can't do
Improve the lovin' is what I'm seeing
Let's do it baby
Don't fight the feeling
Won't you love me
Can we stay together

[Repeat Bridge and Chorus]

Forever, ever, promise me you'll leave me never
Won't you promise me (That you'll leave me never)
Promise me, forever and ever, and ever

[Fade]

They do things cause they know
my girl is away
they try to upset me

They cant believe I resist
how can I hold out,
where is that girl now
but the truth really is
I dont worry cause I love you baby so, That...

[Chorus:]
No matter where my baby is
she never leaves me without love
She gives it up till I get enough
then Im alright
Til my baby comes home
if she stays away for long
she calls me on the phone
I jump up when I hear her voice
then Im alright
Til my baby comes home

I get weak in the knees
my hands start to shakin
head gets to achin
is she thinkin of me
or feelin the fire
with some other guy, yeah
I cant believe I can be
worried about her
I shouldnt doubt her
cause our thing is for real
and I dont worry
cause I know, I know, I know...

[Chorus]

Bring it on
Home to me
She makes everything alright, shes
good to me
Shes the best part of my life
cant you tell
That Im just like a new guy, Im doing
Very well
Cause I know shes coming back tonight

Every night when I sleep
I dream of my baby
Shes such a lady
Then I wake up and see
That shes laying by me
Right there beside me
I cant explain how I fell
I really love her, keep dreaming of her
Cause our love is for real
And I dont worry
Cause I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]

I just wanna be the one that you wanna see
I just wanna have you near me
But you fly away almost everyday
You work a lot but you never stop to love

[Chorus:]
Stop, I love you so stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, celebrate the love we got, stop
Say you're coming home

You say my love has always been on your mind
But how can I ever love you, when you keep working overtime?
Too many empty nights, can make almost any guy roam
to look for the love he don't get whenever he's at home alone.

Awaiting the day that you're coming to stay
I hate to see you go away, but you couldn't rest
Had to do your best to reach the top
But you did not stop to love

[Chorus]

And one day you'll discover I'm the one who love ya
Gotta stop to love
No one loves you better
Can't you stay forever?
Stop to love
I can hardly stand the loneliness
Come on home, that's what it's all about
You really turn me out

[Chorus]

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...I'd go

Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come and it's changed my whole world
Bye-bye sadness, hello mellow
What a wonderful day

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...I'd go

And it's so amazing, amazing
I could stay forever, forever
Here in love and no, leave you never
'Cause we've got amazing love

Truly it's so amazing, amazing
Love brought us together, together
I will leave you never and never
I guess we've got amazing love

Ooh, so amazing and I've been wondering
For a love like you

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Oh, and it's so, it's so

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
And you know, it's so

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Hey...hey...hey...yeah...it's so

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Hey...hey...yeah...hey...yeah...yeah...hey...it's so

It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above

[Chorus:]
There's nothing better than love
What in the world
could you ever be thinking of
It's better by far
So let yourself reach for that star
And go no matter how far
To the one you love
To love

And I mean all these words I said
And you don't have to guess
what's going on inside me head
Just try to know
All the things that our heart says
Listen to love and always
get love to lead the way
Whenever you love

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You know for love
I'd go anywhere
I would go there
For love to the end of nowhere
And for your love
(And for your love)
I would,
I would
I would love
To just spend all my time
With a girl who makes me
feel her love is mine
Someone you see
Who would only dream of me
And she be in love
just because she wanna be
She wanna be loved

[Chorus]

What's there to say, there's not much to talk about
And whatever happened to all of the love that we vowed
Yes, it's true
And there's nothing new
You can say

Give me the reason to want you back
Why should I love you again
Do you know, tell me how
How to forgive and forget

Give me the reason to love you now
It's been a mighty long time
And the love that used to be
Ended the day you walked out

Never knew I'd ever be
Standing a love and outside
With no one to love

Yeah-eah
Ooh-ooh-eah

I was secure and so glad there was you to love
What in the world would I ever do without us
But it's getting clear
That I have to get over you

Give me the reason to want you back
Why should I love you again
Do you know, tell me how
How to forgive and forget

Give me the reason to love you now
It's been a mighty long time
And the love that used to be
Ended the day you walked out

Never knew I'd ever be
Standing a love and outside
With no one to love

No one, no one to love
No one, no one to love
No one, no one to love
No one, no one to love

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You, ooh-eah-eah

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Give me the reason to want you back
Why should I love you again
Do you know, tell me how
How to forgive and forget

Give me the reason to love you now
It's been a mighty long time
And the love that used to be
Ended the day you walked out

Give me the reason
To love you, girl
To love you, girl
To love you, girl
To love you, girl
To love you, girl

Give me the reason
To love you, girl
To love you
To love you, girl
Ooh

To love you, girl
To love you, girl
To love you, girl
To love you, girl

In my heart there's a need to shout
Dyin', screamin', cryin' let me out
Are all those feelings that want to touch
Any love?

What a world for the lonely guy
Sometimes I feel I'm gonna lose my mind
Can anybody tell me just where to find
Any love, any love?

[Chorus:]
Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love, Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love, any love

I know there's a love waiting
To enter my life, enter my life

Every day as I live
I try to think positive
I pray for someone good to come
Any love

Love is sweet and so divine
And I can't wait for my love life to shine
Can anybody tell me where I can find
Any love, any love?

[Chorus]

I know there's someone waiting for me
To enter my life, Come into my life

Suddenly I'm up in clear blue skies
Lonely tears start to fill my eyes
I can weep, but I refuse to cry
I've got to keep holding on

To think love is strong
To keep holding on

[Chorus]

And I know I know I know I know she'll come into my life
Come into my life

[Chorus]

Out of my head to say the things i said
I didn't mean a word
Think jealousy just took a hold of me
I hope she'll ignore the things she heard
(No doubt about it) My heart is in her hands
(With every moment) I'm waiting for a second chance
(Maybe an angel) Will come and help her see
I can't face the world if she don't love me

[Chorus]

When I walked away I cried (cried)
And I really didn't mean it
So she took me back cause she knew I (I)
Really didn't mean it

Dear one from me take my apology
I need you back
I promise I know o never let you go
Is there a chance to see you baby
(They talk about all) the love that we still share
(From her emotion) I barely miss your happiness
(You're missing and mourning) the way it used to be
I know it's true but I don't believe

[Chorus]

When I walked away I cried (cried)
And I really didn't mean it
So she took me back cause she knew I (I)
Really didn't mean it

I want you back it can't be any other way
I want you back and I've waited for the day
I want you back I'm gonna be a little smarter
I want you back I'm gonna try a litte harder

She's good She's fine and always on my mind
I know our love will stand the test of time
She's my girl and my best friend
And i really didn't mean it
Her love is love so fine and so for real
I want the world to know the way i feel
She's my girl and my best friend
And I really didn't mean it
yeah... yeah.. oooh...

[Chorus]

The time is right, you hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'
Honey, not tonight

Move a little close to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait

Yeah, yeah

The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand, ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll take a flight and spend the night
In Wonderland

And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Because love won't let me wait
Not another minute

Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah...yeah...

And I need your love so desperately and only you can set me free
When I make to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait

Love won't, no, no, no
Love won't, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Love won't let me wait)

Yeah...yeah...
Love won't
I said
(Love won't let me wait)

My baby
My temperature's risin', ooh
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me

Not another minute
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me

Baby, baby
(I can't wait) I can't wait (I can't wait) I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
I can't wait, no, no, no, can't wait
(Wait) No way, no way, no, no, no, no
No way, no way, no, no
(Doo...ooh...) Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah
(Wait) I cant wait not another minute
Not another minute (I can't wait, I can't wait) I'll be there (I can't wait) yes, I will
I'll be there
(Wait) Comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
(Ooh...ooh...) I can't wait, can't wait
I can't wait, can't wait
No way, no way, no way, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Wait) Ooh...yeah...ooh...ooh...
(I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait)
(Wait)

[Chorus:]
I will treat you right.
Cause little darlin'
You've got to be mine.
I see your love light.
We'll have a beautiful time.
All night.

I think about you; you're so fine.
It just might work out
If I treat you right.
I want to keep you close to the heart.
What can I say? Hey, hey.
So I know, you will never ever, never go far.
Cause I can feel if it's real.
Though your friends say they still doubt me
They don't know of the you I see.
And I don't know how to do you wrong.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .

[Chorus]

You and everyone in the world can see
That I'm for real, honey.
I don't know how to fool your heart.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .

[Chorus]
