Love Never Felt So Good

Baby, love never felt so good
And I'd die if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
Baby, love never felt so fine
And I'd die if it's never mine, not like you hold me, hold me

And the nights gonna be just fine,
Gotta fly, gotta see, gotta be
I can't take it,

Cause baby, everytime I love you, in and out of my life, in out baby,
Tell me, if you really love me it's in and out my life in out baby
So baby, yes, love never felt so good.

Baby, love never felt so fine
And I'd die if it never mine
Not like you hold me, hold me

And the nights gonna be just fine,
Gotta fly, gotta see, can't believe

Chicago

I met her on my way to Chicago
Where she was all alone
And so was I
So I asked her for her name

She smiled and looked at me
I was surprised to see
That a woman like that
Was really into me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was wanting me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

I never would've thought she was living like that
Her words seemed so sincere
When I held her near
She would tell me how she feels

If felt so real to me
This girl, she had to be
An angel sent from heaven just for me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that loving me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Why.. Ooh no
Alright
Ohh
(I'm in love, love)

I didn't know she was already spoken for
'Cause I'm not that kind of man
Swear that I would've never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame
And all things have to change
You should know that I'm holding her blame

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(Holding her to blame)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(Holding her to blame)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
(Holding her to blame)
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(Holding her to blame)
She thought that loving me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(Holding her to blame)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that loving me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Loving You

Hello, August moon, where are the stars of the night?
You promised me too soon, 'cause it's been cloudy all night
And the weatherman said if you're not well, stay in bed
'Cause I've been feeling down and blue and it's cloudy in my head
Instead of going out to some restaurant, I stay home in bed

But I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do
I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do

Hello, midnight lover, you're the one I adore
And I'll be thinking of you 'til the stars are no more
If it's cloudy or blue, I'll stay here with you
We'll make a wish, and then we'll kiss, a love forever true
Instead of going out to some restaurant, I'll stay here with you

But I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do
I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do

It seems you don't know we reached the hightened mountain
Every time I seem to disappear
And together, we will fly, we'll dance up in the heaven
I can really feel it when you're near

And the weatherman said if you're not well, stay in bed
'Cause I've been feeling down and blue and it's cloudy in my head
Instead of going out to some restaurant, I stay home in bed

[x6]
But I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do
I'll be loving you, that's what I want to do

Loving you, that's what I want to do

A Place With No Name

As I drove across on the highway
My jeep began to rock
I didn't know what to do, so I stopped, then got out, and looked down, I noticed I've got a flat
So I walked out, parked the car, like sideways
So I can find, what I can fix
I looked around, there were no cars on the highway
I felt a strange feeling, like a mist, so
I walked down, toward the end of the road
And in the fog, a woman appeared
She said don't you worry my friend, I'll take care, take my hand, I'll take you there

Wooo!

Take me to a place without no name (No name)
Take me to a place without no name (Without, no name)

As she took me right through the fog
A scene of beautiful city appear
Of where kids are playing and people are laughing and smiling and nothing to fear
She says this is the place where no people have pain, with love and happiness
She turned around, looked down in my eyes, and started crying, and grabbed my hand, you've got a friend

Hooo!

Take me to a place without no name (No name)
Take me to a place without no name (A place without, place without no name)
Take me to a place without no name (Take me, take me, place without no name)
Take me to a place without no name (A place without)

Hooo!
Yeah!
Doggone!
Hooo!

She started liking me, kissing me, and hugging me
She didn't really, really want me to leave
She showed me places I've never seen, and things I've never done, it really looked like a lot of fun
I've seen the grass, and the skies and the birds, and the flowers, surrounded by the trees
This place is filled with love and happiness, how in the world, could I wanna leave
So then I went in my pocket, took my wallet all out
With my pictures of my family and girl
This is the place that you choose to be with me
When you thought, you could be in another world

Oooh!

Take me to a place without no name (Doggone, take me, no name)
Take me to a place without no name (See, a place without no name)
Take me to a place without no name (Take me, doggone, place without no name)
Take me to a place without no name (See, a place without, no, no, no)

Na na na nanana nanana na na (Na, na, a place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (A place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (Na, na, na, a place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (See, a place without)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (Take me, take me, take me, a place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (A place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (A place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (A place without no name)
Na na na nanana nanana na na (A place without no name)

Slave To The Rhythm

She dances in these sheets at night
She dances to his needs
She dances 'til he feels just right
Until he falls asleep
She dances at the crack of dawn
And quickly cooks his food
She can't be late, can't take too long
The kids must get to school

[Chorus 2x:]
She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm of
She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of,
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love

She dances for the man at work
Who works her overtime
She can't be rude as she says,
"Sir, I must be home tonight."
She dances to the kitchen stove
Dinner is served by nine
He says his food's an hour late
She must be outta her mind

[Chorus]

She works so hard, just to make her way
For a man who just don't appreciate
And though he takes her love in vain
Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains
She danced the night that they fell out
She swore she'd dance no more
But then she did, he did not quit as she ran out the door

She danced through the night in fear of her life
She danced to a beat of her own
She let out a cry and swallowed her pride
She knew she was needed back home, home

[Chorus 5x]

Do You Know Where Your Children Are

Father comes home from work, and he's scared to death
Mother cries for the kid, and the note she read
Father runs to the table, he says "What's going on?"
Mother cries desperately, "Our little baby's gone!"

[Chorus: x2]
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's now twelve o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

She wrote that she is tired of stepdaddy using her
Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her
Just think that she's all alone somewhere out on the street
How will this girl survive?
She ain't got nothing to eat!

[Chorus x2]

Save me (from this living hell)
Save me (cause I don't wanna know)

Now she's on the move, she's off to Hollywood
She says she wanna be a star, she heard the money's good
She gets off from the train station, the man is waiting there
"I'll show you where the money is, girl just let down your hair"
He's taking her on the streets, of Sunset Boulevard
She's selling her body hard, girl that will take you far
The police come 'round the corner, somebody there they told
He's arresting this little girl, that's only twelve years old!

[Chorus x6: Fade Out]

Xscape

Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind,
Xscape is what I need,
Away from electric eyes

No matter where I am, I see my face around
They then ask on my name, and push from town to town
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide,
I've got to, find a place,
So I won't hide away

Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away

I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games,
It's time to make a change

Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you,
I can do what I want to

Xscape,got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away

Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape,got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape,the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this
man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

When I go, this problem world won't bother me no more

Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape

Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape, got to get away
Xscape, the pressure that I face
Xscape, the man with the pen
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape

Xscape,
Got to get away
Xscape,
The pressure that I face
Xscape,
The man with the pen
Xscape,
I do what I wanna
I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape
