Written by Boyz II Men and Dallas Austin
I was young (bop)
And didn't have no where to run
I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)
What's in front of me (na-na-op)
There had to be, a better way
To show I'm grateful (hum)
So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me
Chorus:
'Cause even though when times get rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank uooo)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
All through my life
I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing every where I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
You've seen me through
I sure enough couldn't have survived without you
And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long...
You don't know how much you mean to me
Chorus

U Know
I heard you're gonna leave me
I've known it for a while
I wasn't naive to the news
My mind just couldn't walk a mile
I only see you with me
Cause I know the things you like
I know all that you believe
And all the plans of your life
So take a minute to understand me
To reevaluate your mind
I'm everything you need
And in this world a good man is hard to find
And I know you'll miss me
When all is said and done
You'll think about this day
And then you'll realize I was the one
[Chorus:]
You know that all you need is in me and
You know that my love's all right and
Baby you know I can't be denied girl
You know, ooh you know, you know
Gave you all a man could give ya,
Made sure I found the time, to
Keep it all together, but the way you're
Treating me ain't right (can't understand) it
Why you're doing me the way you're
Doing, do you enjoy to see our love
Fade away
Can't face the world without ya
Can't even sleep at night
Gave you all that I treasured
And I tried to love you with all my might
And I know you'll miss me when all is said and done
You'll think about this day
And then you'll realize I was the one
You know
[Chorus]
I've known it for a while

Vibin
[Verse One: Erick Sermon]
It's Kenny, and Erick Sermon
Give me room I'm the mack-tastic, theatrical
Dramatical, bringing pain plus working chains
Hey, it's Erick Sermon with the umm my sound is high bias
Not on Def Squad I wouldn't try this
Check the mixes my style is wicked like three 6's
Harmony stacked vocals on Boyz II Men spinnin
like the wheels, on my black 500 S
TV's in the headrest, who flex the best?
No question, I'm the nuh, believe what you heard
I shut down dig and vibe in boy that's my word
My style, is all the way live
And Billy Dee love it like it's Colt .45, vibe
[Verse Two: Keith Murray]
Now you can On a Bended Knee to the End of the Road
Luxurious glorious punks vibe all in your soul
And I ain't even gotta talk about how I'm livin
With E.D. and Boyz II Men, turnin little girls to women
From the mental to the physical, I get in you
Let's keep it real and bring your homegirls for the Def Squad crew
I been all around the world, what battle me?
Take this autograph home and give it to your family
It's a shame the way I trap rappers up in my brain
And drive em all Batty, like Bruce Wayne
I be spackling and tackling
MC's to the mat like world wrestling, just vibing
[Chorus: Boyz II Men]
Every-thing's fine
It ain't nothing to it, cause we're gonna do it all
But all we do is
We're just, vibin, you know it
Dancin the night away
We're just, vibin
Nonstop until the break of day
[Verse Three: Redman]
Jumpin jehosa, I roast a, toughest MC
You're coming closer, to getting blown, effin with these
I freak the funk styles major, my neighbors complain
about the vapors and the capers, and murder your brain
The hot rocker, the shocker of the, 40's and vodka
The Phantom of the Opera give you, one beat to rock ta
Plus my poppa, threw me out when I was young
Now I'm a Boy II Man run with the with the Boyz and plan
with a, new toy in hand, mics I get freaky like a
Dean it don't matter what the size of the arena
Kenny Smoove, drop it on the one while I bust
Any MC that think they running with us
[Chorus]
[Verse Four: Two To Da Head]
Bust it, it be the Boyz II the Men, with the Two To Da Head
Coming through with Ed sticking victims through their necks
to be down On Bended Knee, and caught up in the vibe
Honey I get you wet until your Water Runs Dry
And once I hear the bum-baada, umm-dada
Original problem child, I betta holla
For some mo', while I headline the freak show
And get you vibin from here, to the End of the Road
You bust a U-turn cause it's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday
It's more rotten baby
Droppin Sermons like Erick for all the lost souls that perished
Big up to Most Beautifullest and the Funkadelic
It's Kenny, and Erick Sermon
Give me room I'm the mack-tastic, theatrical
Dramatical, bringing pain plus working chains
Hey, it's Erick Sermon with the umm my sound is high bias
Not on Def Squad I wouldn't try this

I Sit Away
Who says the sea can't move in winter
Or clouds stand still in a storm
Who says a man can't cry
And be lonely
Who says a man can't tend to be bored
And if you could see inside my heart
You would see loneliness
And if I could show you my mind
You would be depressed
[Chorus:]
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes
So I'll gather my things
And be on my way
Into my lonely place
Said I'm feelin' lonely and lonesome
And I just need to get away
And if you could know what I'm afraid of
You would be frightened
And if you could feel the pain that
I'm feelin'
Then you would know why, I
[Chorus]
[Breakdown:]
Sit away
Said I get away
Said I sit away
Said I sit away
Why do I feel
Like I will never be loved again
There I go
Back in my mood again
Lonely, lonely
[Chorus]
Or clouds stand still in a storm
Who says a man can't cry
And be lonely
Who says a man can't tend to be bored
And if you could see inside my heart
You would see loneliness
And if I could show you my mind
You would be depressed
[Chorus:]
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes
So I'll gather my things
And be on my way
Into my lonely place
Said I'm feelin' lonely and lonesome
And I just need to get away
And if you could know what I'm afraid of
You would be frightened
And if you could feel the pain that
I'm feelin'
Then you would know why, I
[Chorus]
[Breakdown:]
Sit away
Said I get away
Said I sit away
Said I sit away
Why do I feel
Like I will never be loved again
There I go
Back in my mood again
Lonely, lonely
[Chorus]

Jezzebel
Saw you on a Sunday afternoon
Riding the B train
Yes, I was coolin' on the B train
You had an air about you
I had to know and soon
First sight and I didn't
Even mind the rain
Your glow was the ailment
To all my pain inside
I sat beside your body and asked your name
Your fragrance made it hard to explain my plight
Of how you're driving me insane
[Chorus:]
Jezzebel don't know you well
I can't believe how my feelings took over
But I'd like to
Let me let you know that I'm on
And I want you
Aiming to please just let me show you
The moment that you opened up your lips
I knew that you were the one
Hope you don't mind if I touch your finger tips
Please don't draw the line just yet
I promise I won't go too far
Cause you've been haunting me
Every since I saw your face
I can't escape you now
Be mine and wait and see love that
Many people search their whole life for
Here to let you know babe,
That I'm real, oh so real
[Chorus]
[Breakdown:]
Wanna get to know you
Don't know your nationality
Can we converse and see
When a good time to get together
Baby...am I being a little fast
No, I don't know
Maybe so I don't think so
In fact I don't care
All I want to do is touch your hair
And taste your air
What perfume are you wearing
Oh, oh the smell
[Chorus]
Riding the B train
Yes, I was coolin' on the B train

I sat beside your body and asked your name
Your fragrance made it hard to explain my plight

Khalil (Interlude)
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
Here we go again
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
No one to guide me
I'm all alone
No one to cry on
I need shelter from the rain
To ease the pain
Of changing from Boyz II Men
Here we go again

Trying Times
[Talk:]
Baby I'm so glad your here
'Cause I have so many things to tell you
So many things to talk to you about
'Cause your the strength I hold onto
And I hope I'm the strength that you hold onto
So we can strive together and be perfect
Til' death do us part
The nights gone the morning here
And soon it's time to talk about
Where we stand and where we plan
To be in life long years I need to know
I keep crying tears of joy
I guess that's what you're put here for
To change these tears of pain
To tears of happiness
Through these trying times
trying to get the best of me
I'm still finding time to show I care
With my crying eyes
I see contentment because of you
Trials and tribulations build up walls
In front of faces made of stone
Yet we stand strong enough
To break the walls down to journey on
But I know if we just bond our hearts
There will be nothing that will stand in our way
And we'll be together forever and a day
Through these trying times
trying to get the best of me
I'm still finding time to show I care
With my crying eyes
I see contentment because of you
Baby I'm so glad your here
'Cause I have so many things to tell you
So many things to talk to you about
'Cause your the strength I hold onto
And I hope I'm the strength that you hold onto
So we can strive together and be perfect
Til' death do us part
The nights gone the morning here
And soon it's time to talk about
Where we stand and where we plan
To be in life long years I need to know
I keep crying tears of joy
I guess that's what you're put here for
To change these tears of pain
To tears of happiness
Through these trying times
trying to get the best of me
I'm still finding time to show I care
With my crying eyes

There will be nothing that will stand in our way

On Bended Knee
Darlin' I, I can't explain
Where did we lose our way?
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
And if you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
And I know that I don't need to be alone, yeah
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
Baby, I'm sorry
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done
Please come back home, girl
I know you put all your trust in me
I'm sorry I let you down
Please forgive me
I'm gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It'll heal all things
It won't hurt anymore
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees, begging you please come home
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended
Down on bended knee
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee

Please come back home, girl
I know you put all your trust in me
I'm sorry I let you down
Please forgive me
I'm gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It'll heal all things
It won't hurt anymore
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees, begging you please come home
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended
Down on bended knee
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again
'Til you come back to me
I'm down on bended knees

50 Candles
[Intro:]
It's gettin' kinda dark already, should I light 'um?
Hey baby I'm ready, I'm oh so ready
I wanna make love to you, hey
Take 'em off, throw 'em down
Come here and let me feel what's in front of me
The outside world is of no concern
Just let our bodies and the candles in the room burn
With feverish passion uncontained
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right
Give me your hand touch me right here
Oh so good want it more and more
Each moment your fingers linger all around
As I kiss you in the place where your composure comes undone
And your mind runs
We'll make love 'til the sun completely rises
Come play with me
Let me be the toy
That fulfills your needs
'Cause I'm yours tonight and you're all mine, roll with me
Don't be afraid let the feeling take you away
To a world of ecstasy
Where all you got to do is be free and give your all and all
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right
[Rap:]
Come and get this, waited all my life for your touch and soft kiss
And life will never be the same, while ya moan and groan
I hear your voice call my name
Holding your body like a plastic molding
Your soul I'll be controlling
As the candles burn, we toss and turn
From night to day, all our pleasures we learn
Come and play with me tonight's our night baby,
50 candles burn bright
Make love to me
Hold on tight
It's going to be a bumpy ride
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right
It's gettin' kinda dark already, should I light 'um?
Hey baby I'm ready, I'm oh so ready
I wanna make love to you, hey
Take 'em off, throw 'em down
Come here and let me feel what's in front of me
The outside world is of no concern
Just let our bodies and the candles in the room burn
With feverish passion uncontained
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right
Give me your hand touch me right here
Oh so good want it more and more
Each moment your fingers linger all around
As I kiss you in the place where your composure comes undone
And your mind runs
We'll make love 'til the sun completely rises
Come play with me

'Cause I'm yours tonight and you're all mine, roll with me
Don't be afraid let the feeling take you away

Where all you got to do is be free and give your all and all

Water Runs Dry
We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Cause sayin' how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby
Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Cause sayin' how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby
Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby

Hoy me siento lejos del ayer
Tantas cosas han cambiado que
Quisiera estar en el ayer
Yo perdi la mitad de todo lo que fui
La memoria vuela sobre mi
Y en ayer quiero vivir
Ella se marcho
Yo ne se muy bien por que
Fue alguin desliz que acabo con el ayer
Yesterday
Al amor jugamos sin perder
Hoy yo busco desaparecer
Quisiera estar en el ayer
Ella se marcho
Yo ne se muy bien por que
Fue alguin desliz que acabo con el ayer

Al amor jugamos sin perder
Hoy yo busco desaparecer

II is the third studio album by American R&B quartet Boyz II Men, released on August 30, 1994, on Motown Records. It contained the No. 1 singles "I'll Make Love to You" and "On Bended Knee", the latter of which replaced the former at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, making the group the third artist to replace themselves at No. 1 in the United States after Elvis Presley and The Beatles and the first to achieve the feat in 30 years.
"I'll Make Love to You" also spent 14 weeks at the top of the Hot 100 making them the first artist to achieve consecutive double digit runs at the top, with their prior single "End of the Road" topping the charts for 13 weeks and also equaled the record set by Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" for the longest run at the top, a record which they held previously with "End of the Road". Other singles released achieved major success, including "Water Runs Dry", which reached No. 2, and "Thank You", which reached No. 21. "Vibin'", however, only reached No. 52.
The spoken track "Khalil (Interlude)" is a tribute to their road manager, Roderick "Khalil" Rountree, who, in May 1992, was shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois while the group was opening for MC Hammer's Too Legit to Quit tour. II became the inaugural winner of the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, first presented at the 37th Grammy Awards in 1995. In 2020, it was ranked number 495 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
According to producer Bob Robinson of the duo Tim & Bob, he and his partner Tim Kelley were asked by Boyz II Men to produce most of II. However, Motown Records then-president Jheryl Busby did not feel comfortable with the idea of two unknown producers dominating a second album from a group that was one of the biggest acts in the world at the time. As a result, Busby brought in Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Babyface to deliver hit singles for the project. Busby insisted on "I'll Make Love to You" being the first single, despite objections from the group- who felt there were songs that could have been much stronger singles. The song became one of Boyz II Men's biggest hits.
Over 20 songs were recorded for II, but most of them never made the final track listing. Two of the songs Tim & Bob produced—"Now That We're Done" and "Can I Touch You"—ended up on 112's 1996 self-titled debut.
