Anyway - BRIAN McKNIGHT

Anyway - BRIAN McKNIGHT

[verse]
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
Never known yet
The joy of lasting love
Now I'm reaching for your hand
On the shore of happiness
Oh, acquiesce
To you my dear, my love

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that I know that I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
Anyway

[verse]
You're the perfect lover
And you are the perfect friend
Now all that's ever been
We simply rose above
And as long as we don't build
A castle on quicksand
We'll experience and understand
The pleasure of lasting love
My heart's on fire
Burning with a flame that will never die
There's a voice inside
Saying don't be afraid don't compromise

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd all but I fell
Anyway

[bridge]
There are many, many words that I could say
Melodies I could could play
Prayers that I can pray
Nothing could take your love away

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway
I know
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
Anyway

Up Around My Way - BRIAN McKNIGHT

Up Around My Way - BRIAN McKNIGHT

[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[verse]
Michael Angelo would faint
Rembrandt would cry
To stand in line for a lock of your hair
I'd fly around around the world
Just to be close to you
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way [repeat]

Just tell me what I should do
Tell me what I should say
Rub me I'm your genie
Your wish is my command right away
Can we talk about it
Lady can we get together
I'm free, I'm free

[rap part]
Left of the sun
Right of the moon
You're hotter than the fourth of July
Ah oooh
One taste of your sweet sweet lips
Will have me doing cartwheels and flips
Kinda shy to say that I'm sweating you
Judging by the smile on your face
Says I'm getting through
You no rush, come will the day
You come around my way
Come on

[chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

Your Love Is Ooh - BRIAN McKNIGHT

Your Love Is Ooh - BRIAN McKNIGHT

Your love is ooh
Your love is ooh baby

[verse]
I contemplate, as we lay
Caught up in your web of pleasure
Let me get my thoughts together
Concentrate, stimulate
Ecstacy cannot be measured
I finally found my treasure

[chorus]
When I think about the love we make
I can't find the word to say, your love is ooh
Your love is ooh baby
When I think about the the love we make
I run out of breath and I start to shake
your love is ooh
Your love is ooh baby

[verse]
Take the sun
Take the moon
All I ever need is you
You make my dreams come true
Through the storm, nice and warm
Girl you know just what to do
You know just what to do

[b-sec]
I'm just an ordinary man
I don't understand
Why the way that I feel gets so hard for me
To explain
Am I dreamin'?

[chorus]
When I think about the love we make
I can't find the word to say, your love is ooh
Your love is ooh baby
When I think about the love we make
I run out of breath and I start to shake
Your love is ooh
Your love is ooh baby

[bridge]
And my heart is beating, sore from being
Loved so beyond my needs
All I know is I want the world to know
Your love is ooh
Your love is ooh
Your love is...... ooh

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh [continue w/ ad lib and fade]

On The Floor - BRIAN McKNIGHT

On The Floor - BRIAN McKNIGHT

[verse]
The bed gives
Cupboard might break underneath you
Hard as I try
The table might shake
Could break a leg when I do what I do
I'm all about mine

[chorus]
Consider the love we made
When pleasure can be found
In and all around
The right place is on the floor
Why don't we get down on the floor
I won't leave you wanting for more
If we get down on the floor
On the floor

[verse]
Comfortable spot
When I get you hot
A place to lay your head
Was it Socrates who said
Good to the last drop, lady
Ooh, you're so sweet
From your head to your feet
Face is turning red
Now my appetite's there

[chorus]
Consider the love we made
When pleasure can be found
In and all around
The right place is on the floor
Why don't we get down on the floor
I won't leave you wanting for more
If we get down on the floor
On the floor

[bridge]
When you're satisfied
That's when I'll give you more
It's gonna rain, let it pour
And if you're gonna stay
And you're willing to play
It's time that we openly, honestly
Get on the floor

[ending section]
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
Floor, on the floor

[repeat and fade]

On The Down Low - BRIAN McKNIGHT

On The Down Low - BRIAN McKNIGHT

Maxine was 5'9''
Had a man, and she didn't mind
Walked up to me nice and slow
What she wanted
I did not know
Gave me her pager number
And said call her "anytime"
Then she whispered in my ear

[chorus]
She said
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it
On the down and low
She said
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it
On the down and low

She says that he
Doesn't take her anywhere
Used to say sweet things
Acts like he doesn't even care
He thinks that she's content
Cos he buys her cars
And he pays her rent
But she's not ready to leave
She turned and said to me

[repeat chorus]

[Bridge:]
I wouldn't treat you that way
If you were my lady
I wouldn't share you
You'd be mine and mine alone, oh yeah
If he continues wastin' your time
Girl, he's crazy
I'll take her
(Got to get down and low)

Maxine looked into my eyes
Wanted me to be the other guy
Cos tonight she's needin' someone to hold
Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold
Deprived of all the things
She misses, wants, wishes, and needs
Got hotter than a hundred an' three
She turned and said to me

[repeat chorus]
