Real Love
We are lovers true and through
And though We made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searchin' for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration?
Be the real love that I need
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Ooh, when I met you
I just knew that you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So, I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspirations
Lead me towards some real
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
I got to have a real love
Love's so true and, oh, baby
I thought your love was true
I thought you were the answer to
The questions in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe
I'll find my real love
So I try my best and pray to God
He'll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me
Towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring, and fall
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love (real love, real love, real love)
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
You see I'm searching for a real love (real love)
And I don't know where to go (I'm searchin' for a real love)
Been around the world and high and low
And still I'll never know (someone to set my heart free)
How it feels to have a real love (real love)
'Cause it seems there's none around (I'm searchin' for a real love)
Gotta end it in this way because it
Seems he can't be found
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free

I Dont Want To Do Anything
[Chorus]
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
[Verse 1 - K-ci]
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
To tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Mary J. Blige]
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[K-ci]
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
[Mary]
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
[Mary & K-ci] Cause we belong together baby
[Music plays]
[Mary and K-ci]

Can tear us apart
(Oh no)
Cause I love you baby

[K-ci (Mary in background Ad-libing)]
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know

Oh you make me feel so good baby
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
[Verse 1 - K-ci]
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
To tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Mary J. Blige]
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[K-ci]
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
[Mary]
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
[Mary & K-ci] Cause we belong together baby
[Music plays]
[Mary and K-ci]
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you

Slow down baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere.
[Chorus]
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down

When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove
Now there's no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right.
Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Now I got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it. Don't fight it.
If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion
Slow it down baby. Keep it right there. Keep it right there.

When the lovin' is feelin good

My Love
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Baby
Whatcha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love
[Verse 1]
I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart
But that was so long ago that I
Thought we could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you wanna come back
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you
[Verse 2]
Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seemed so right
I was loving you, kissing you, holding you tight
I wish you know that a woman
That you learn to leave today
And it's a shame that you wanna come back now baby
My love has gone away
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I played the fool for you baby
And you stole away my heart
(Whatcha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
(Whatcha gonna do)
Sweet memories of yesterday
(Whatcha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
[Chorus repeat and ad-libs until fade]
Baby
Whatcha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love
[Verse 1]
I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart
But that was so long ago that I
Thought we could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you wanna come back
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you

Sweet memories of yesterday

Changes Ive Been Going Through
Oh, don't you wanna be with me
[Chorus]
Can't you see what I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
(Baby, don't you wanna be with me?)
Changes I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
[Verse 1]
It's all gone
The love I thought we shared is gone away
Maybe it's better that we didn't stay together
Seems like we've gone through this a thousand times
Maybe I still don't have the answer
Why can't you tell me why we couldn't be together
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
See I didn't want to ever hold you tight
But still I need love and affection
Was it that hard for you to show me some attention
Tell me baby, did I push you away
Was I coming on to strong for you
Why can't you tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do
Oh can't you see
[Chorus]
[Chorus repeated and ad-libs until fade]
[Chorus]
Can't you see what I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
(Baby, don't you wanna be with me?)
Changes I've been going through

It's all gone
The love I thought we shared is gone away
Maybe it's better that we didn't stay together
Seems like we've gone through this a thousand times

Whats The 411?
[ Featuring Grand Puba ]
[Chorus]
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin' on, hun
A yo, I got it goin on, hun
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin' on
A yo, I got it goin' on, hun
Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin' lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
let suckers step up and see
I'll flip the script and get harder than Jepordy
I shot the sheriff and the motherf*ckin' deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin' crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?
[Chorus]
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you want to come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin' that, No I'm not havin' that
You gotta do a lot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just ain't runnin' up in me
I need a man who's lookin' out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you ain't with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?
[Bridge]
M All my love is all I have
P And Grand Puba's very special
M All my life I look for you
P And today your dreams come true
M You need me and I need you
P Grand Puba is very special
M Things just seem to do divine
P This is how the two combine
M I know this love was meant to be
P Mary Blige is something kinda special
M Love is life and life is living
You're very special
