Brian Mcknight - One Last Cry



My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I’m down to my last cry

Cry......

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....

I’m gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I’m down
I guess I’m down
I guess I’m down...
To my last cry...

Brian McKnight - 6, 8, 12
Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe in nothing like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss

1 - It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away

Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Every time the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you
Is everything okay?

Repeat 1

It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why

Repeat 1

Sing it for me
Ooh, ooh

Brian McKnight - Again
What are u calling me for
Thought it was over when u walked out the door Reminding me of the pain
That u caused
In my heart
No im not missing u at all
No im not trying to make u feel small
Lately it cuts like a knife
That u think u could walk right back into my life sooo..

(Chorus

You dont have to call
And we dont have a reason to talk
If u want something to say
Then start telling me how you could hurt me that way
Cuz it was hell getting over u
Damn you for what yoooou put me through
The curtain's closed goodbye the end
Cuz i dont think my heart
Will let me love you again

Everything u said was a lie
Right to my face couldnt understand why
and how u could do me that way
and then walk back in my life
But tell me where were u when i couldnt sleep and where where u when i couldnt eat
and where u when i criiiiiiied
Theres no way i could let u back into my life
sooo...

(Chorus

You dont have to call
And we dont have a reason to talk
If u want something to say
Then start telling me how you could hurt me that way
Cuz it was hell getting over u
Damn you for what yoooou put me through
The curtain's closed goodbye the end
Cuz i dont think my heart
Will let me love you again

No we can not find a way
I dont have nothing to say
Baby i gotta be real
Guess now u know how it feels
Why are u wasting my time
Guess i been crossing ur mind
Cant let u back in my life
This is goodbyyyyyye

No one knows that we just met
What you see is what you get

So we can talk about the things you want (Talk about the things YOU want)

Physically, finance, and mentally
If willing

Ya dreams
Peaches and cream

So unplug the clocks
And close the drapes

Until we both scream OW
We both pass OUT

So we can talk about the things you want (Talk about the things want)
Or we can talk about the things you like

Brian Mcknight - All Over Now
Every mornin' runnin' late
Your boss is trying not to hate
You find it hard to concentrate
Thinkin' 'bout this good thing

I try my best to be your man
Use me girl if that's your plan
In the end you'll understand
Happiness is what I bring

[Chorus:]
Baby tell me who
Can someone do it better (oh yeah)
Tell me who
Whenever we're together it's like ooh (oh yeah)
You might start feelin' dizzy (oh yeah)
'Cause it's all over now

I keep you in the mood
It's easy girl 'cause I know what to do (oh yeah)
When the phone is ringin' don't disturb the grove (oh yeah)
You might start feelin' dizzy (oh yeah)
'Cause it's all over now

For your touch
Inside I yearn
To love you more
I want to learn
Your body is my first concern
Only when I'm breathin'

I'll get it 'till I hit it right
When it comes to makin' love I'm nice
You won't have to tell me twice
There's no way that you're leavin'

[Chorus]

Ooh baby when the lights go down
I only wait to hear the sound of you
No holdin' back, let it out
That there's no place you'd rather be right now
Ooh baby is ya feelin' good
Is it better than you thought it would
Are you comin' back I think you should
Over and over again

[Chorus]

Brian Mcknight - Anytime
I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now more and more I wonder where you are

Chorus:
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
I miss you

Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call to say

Chorus

I miss you
I miss you

No more, lonliness and heartache
No more, crying myself to sleep
No more, wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me, come back to me

Chorus 2x

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

Brian Mcknight - Back At One
It's undeniable
That we should be together
It's unbelievable
How I used to say
That I fall never
The basis is need to know
If you don't know
Just how I feel
Then let me show you now
That I'm for real
If all things in time
Time will reveal

One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just wanna be with you
Three
Girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

So incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional
once you know what its all about, hey
And undesirable
For us to be apart
Never would have made it very far
Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart

One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just wanna be with you
Three
Girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
just in the nick of time

One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just wanna be with you
Three
Girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

Brian Mcknight - Can You Read My Mind
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Oh when I look at you
I probably should go
Cause I wanna be with you
More than you'll ever know
Hmm for a taste of you
I could calm my desire
Baby you blow my mind
You light my fire, oh

I want you (yeah)
Need you (yeah)
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Is it the way I feel?
The curiosity or the things you do
That brings out the lust in me
The thought of me and you, drives me wild
Come close to me
Can you stay awhile?

Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Yeah
Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Brian Mcknight - Everything I Do
Baby, no matter what I'm doin'
You know I'd rather be home with you
And honey, doin' all the things wit cha
All the things that you like to do
Like washin' your hair an' paintin' your nails
All the things that your ex-man wouldn't do
Baby no I can't wait to get home to you

[Chorus:]
That's why baby
Everything I do
You know I do it for you
Everything I say is true
We been together so long
All the crazy things that we been through

Baby you know everything I do
I do them for you
You don't hear me through
I said everything I do
I do them for you

Now baby
You know it gets so difficult
To get out of bed with you
To go to my nine to five
It's the only place I feel alive wit cha
And to know that you're somewhere waitin' for me
I know that you're more than enough for me
I can't wait baby 'cause I know what you got for me

[Chorus]

What kind of fool would I be
If I didn't give my all to you
And tell me
Where would I be if I couldn't lay next to you
But if I know that you're down for me
Then I know that everything is alright
And by the time I get home to you
I'm gonna lay a blockbuster on you tonight

Brian Mcknight - Everytime You Go Away
Everytime that I'm with you girl
Can't believe you share my world
But it's real
And everytime that I hold you close to me
Forever is all that I can see
How it feels
See I don't give a damn
What my homies say
Don't matter anyway
See I never felt this way before
YOU leave a brother wanting more

[chorus]
I hate to see you go even though
I know when YOU'RE coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Everytime you go away

FROM the very first time that I touched you babe
Couldn't find the words to say
You set me free
And everytime that I kiss your lips
Nothing ever tasted quite like this
what got so deep

See I don't give a damn
What my homies say
Don't matter anyway
See I've never ever felt this way before
YOU always leave me wanting more

[chorus]

You're the sunshine of my day
You BRIGHTEN up my life
You take A piece of me with you
Everytime you say goodbye

[chorus] x 3

Brian McKnight - Find Myself In You
I was so lonely though there was so many symbols waiting
I'm so glad that this ain't that
You're the only reason I can make it through the long long day, and that's a fact

Baby, I can't wait to get next to you, oh I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body
Baby I can't help but tell the truth
Oh it's so hard to wait till no one else is around
Gonna try to keep myself together
Gonna find myself in you
Baby no no
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, no no
I hate to keep waiting
But there are some things that need my attention before I can get back to you
Anticipating my hands all over you baby, you know
I know just work to do

And baby I can't wait to get next to you, oh I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body
Baby I can't help but tell the truth
Oh it's so hard to wait till no one else is around
Gonna try to keep myself together
Gonna find myself in you
Baby no no
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, no no, no no baby

The only place I want to be is right here with you
Loving you down and you
You can take what you want from me
No else'll let me
Have you around
I'm gonna try to keep myself together
Till I find myself in you
Baby
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, oh baby
I'm gonna try to keep myself together
Till I find myself in you
Oh, baby, baby
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you
Listen, listen

Brian Mcknight - Grown Man Business
If you ever had a grown man
Let me put you in a grown man business
If you ready for a grown man
Lay back and get this grown man business
If you ever had a grown man
Let me put you in a grown man business
If you ready for a grown man
B I'm about my grown man business

You tell me you like him, 'Cause he's young but wild (wild)
So you can't control him 'cause he's always out (deep in the streets)
And when he comes home he don't help with the bills or car note (no)
And although he got a young back, he don't know about that real stroke (that you really need)
I bet you thought that age was just a number (just a little number)
But baby nowadays it makes me wonder
Why he let's you down at the wrong time (You're at a stage where you trying to make moves and he)
Plays you out like a small child (I bet his age got a whole lot to do with it)

[Chorus:]
When the lies and games he runs on you get old (baby, I'm right here)
And whenever you're ready for grown man love come on (I'm right here)
And when you decide that little boys finish girls (girl come here)
Get back and get this grown man business girl ('cause it is right here)

If you're ready for a grown man
Lay back and get this grown man business

He's not really man enough to take care of home (home)
You need that security, somebody sexy and grown (grown and sexy)
He spends what he can, but mama I gives all I have (have)
Just check my track record baby, everything I do is first class (I thought you knew)
I bet you though that age was just a number (just a little number)
But baby nowadays it makes me wonder
He let's you down at the wrong time (Girl I can see that you're out of his league but)
Plays you out like a small child (so if you're ready for me)

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I got all you need
So make up your mind
And have it the way you like
If you do choose me
I'll promise you, you'll never go back

[Chorus]

I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
Ooooooh, yeah

Brian Mcknight - Here With You
the nite is over
The DJ's bout to play a slow jam
I'm waitin bout an hour
for this momement to dance with you

WE're hand in hand
we're cheek to cheek
shoulder to shoulder
i reach around and grab a little booty
and it feels so good

chorus (x2)
i just wanna tell you
there's no place
I'd rather be
than here with you

No need to worry

And i think that this could be
the begining of a good thing
i look into your eyes
and they tell me
that you feel like i do

chorus (x2)

Now that you and I are here together

And OH

I'm glad i had this time with you tonight

Brian Mcknight - If It Was Cool
I see that look in your eyes girl
From across the room that youre needing me
I cant deny that I want you
So I make my way up to you
No
I see that ring on your finger
Telling me that I shouldnt linger
Its such a shame a disaster
That it has to be this way

But if it was cool
It would be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something but only if
It was cool
But it aint though

Tell me would he mind if I kissed you
While hes at home watching ESPN
If I took you home would he miss you
But it dont matter cause I dont get down that way
No
If you were mine would you do this to me
While Im at home watching reruns of dragnet with a bottle of hennessey
Would you be ashamed when you saw me
And what would you say

But if it was cool
It would be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something but only if
It was cool
But it aint though

Was so nice to meet you
Now I try to treat you
The best I could
Like a true gentleman should
Now I gots to leave you
Keep up there just might see it
Ill be around same bat time same bat channel you know the station

If it was cool
It could be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something but only if
It was cool

If it was cool
If it was cool
If it was cool
That would be something but only if
It was cool
But it aint though

Brian McKnight - More And More
The temperature between us two is steady climbing
The rhythm of our hearts suggest there's perfect timing
My intuition says tonight's the night
Everything's gonna be alright for sure
I'll be loving you more and more

The heart is beating through my chest
Can you feel it pounding
You whisper in my ear, I like the way its sounding
Girl you know what happens next
I think its gonna be the best for sure

I'll be loving you more and more...more

I dont want this night to ever end
I dont know where I end and you begin
I wish I could make time suspend, cause were doing fine

I've got your tiny hand in mine and it feels like heaven
Cant count how many times for 5 or 6 or 7
Girl you know what happens next
I think its gonna be the best for sure

I'll be loving you more and more.
For sure, I'll be loving you more and more...more
