Reprise
You surprise me day and night
You keep me guessing day and night
day and night(oh)day and night

I'll keep you in my heart no matter what happens
I promise you I'll never let you down
Even when you just dont know
and your feeling down
I'll be their for you

You surprise me day and night
You keep me guessing day and night
day and night (oh) day and night


Ye Yo
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo
(Help me)
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo...

Sometimes,
Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel all by myself up here
That's when I take a minute
To re-evaluate things
All of the things I think are special
Oooh like
When you wake up in the morning
And you see the morning sun
And you need to know the world is on your side
Who do you run to
Who can you turn to
Come on
Then the evening comes to greet you
You need someone to hold you close
And you feel you need to rest your aching mind
Who can you run to
Who can you turn to
Well see the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom, I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm ye yo, you're ye yo
I say the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom, I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm ye yo, you're ye yo
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo.....


Searching
See a butterfly
Up in the sky
I got a story to say
And I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'

You see my friend
And I need someone
Who feels and needs
The same as I
I'm searchin'

When it's right,it's right
When it's wrong,it's wrong
I'm gonna sing my song
All day long
I'm searchin'

Searchin'... x15

See a butterfly
Up in the sky
I got a story to say
And I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'

You see my friend
And I need someone
Who feels and needs
The same as I
I'm searchin'

When it's right,it's right
When it's wrong,it's wrong
I'm gonna sing my song
All day long
I'm searchin'

See a butterfly
Up in the sky
I got a story to say
And I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'

Searchin'...x15


Boogie Nights/All Night
We gon' keep it back for y'all
Keep it back in the day

Boogie nights, wo oh oh
Boogie nights, wo oh oh
Wo oh oh oh

Come on New York
Whatcha say, come on
What they say, push it up, OH
Something's got me so excited baby
A feeling I've been holding back so long
You got me shook up, shook down, shook out
On your loving
And boy, I can't wait to get started loving you

All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
And for this loving, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry I said, cause I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to ya

All night long
I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
I can't wait to love you baby

I'm gonna give it to ya
I'm gonna give it to ya
I'm gonna give it to ya

Oh, something's got me so delighted baby
I see your face in everything I do
You've got me, shook up, shook down, shook out
On your lovin'
And boy, there is just no way, I'll ever, get over you

All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
Up on this rooftop, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry up I said, 'cause I can't wait to get it on

All night long
I can't wait to love you baby
All night long
I wanna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
Come on up boy, don't be late
What I got for you won't wait
All night long
Climb up on the rooftop, don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top

Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Let it get into you
Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Coming from Jamaica
Can you feel it
Let it get into you
Cause I feel the funk, deep down in my soul
Comin' from Jamaica

All night long
I wanna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
I can't wait to love you baby

I'm gonna give it to ya
Sweebe-do-be-do-do Do-ya
Sweebe-do-be-do-do Do-ya
Alright, alright, thank you, thank you


Stay
Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That I'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What I'm doing's got to pay
Someway, somehow

My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life

Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay

It fits, but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life alright
The good Lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life

Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay (won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (don't you go, no no)
Stay, stay (oh no no)
Stay, stay (stay baby baby please stay)
Stay, stay (right here, right here, right here)
Stay, stay (I want you to stay right here)
Stay, stay (we can stay here, together, together yeah)
Stay, stay (don't listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)


Tyrone
"Lets See How Ya'll Groove to this"
"Alright"
I'm gettin' tired of your shit
You don't never buy me nothin'
See Everytime you come around
You got to bring Jim, James, Paul, & Tyrone
See why can't we be by ourselves, sometimes
See I've been having this on my mind
For a long time
I just want it to be
You and me
Like It used to be, Baby
But ya don't know how to act
So matter of fact
[Chorus]
I think ya better call Tyrone
(Call Him)
And Tell him come on, Help you get your Shit (Come On, Come on)
You need to Call Tyrone
(Call Him)
And tell him I said come on
Now everytime I ask you for a little cash
You say no and turn right around and ask me for some ass
Oh, Well hold up
Listen partna
I ain't no cheap thrill
Cause Miss Badu is always comin' for real
And you know the deal
Everytime we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way and your homeboys way
And sometimes your cousin's way
They don't never have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
Try to hang around with stars
Like Badu
I'm gon' tell you the truth
Show and prove
or get the boot
I think ya better, (Erykah Badu-He, he he)
(Call Him)
And tell him come on
Help you get your shit
You need to call Tyrone
(Call Him)
[Erykah Badu]"Hold On"
But ya can't use my phone
