Title: Learn The Hard Way

CHORUS:
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away
You see I could've made it easy
For you to become a part of me (repeat)

You couldn't even say I'm sorry
For all the hurt and pain you caused me
Now I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy
You see I had enough of cryin'
And I'm tired of all the lyin'
You see I refuse to let you take advantage of me, baby

REPEAT CHORUS

Never took the time to think
Of all the love we shared
I realize most of the time you were just not there
It was hard for me to see when
When your love was blinding me
But now I know I have to let you go your separate way

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Things will never be the same cuz baby
Baby you did me wrong
Hurt so bad I can't move on
Was it worth all the pain cuz baby
Baby you got to pay
You've got to learn the hard way

REPEAT CHORUS

Part of me, part of me, part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me

Pa-part of me, pa-part of me, pa-part of me

Title: Almost Doesn't Count

Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah

Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I, didn't I
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

1-
I can't keep on lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for

Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no-doubt-be-there kind of man
You came real close
But everytime you build me up
You only let me down
But everybody knows(everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count(almost doesn't count)

Oh oh
Ooh oooh whoo whoo (everybody knows)
Yeah yeah yeah
I can't keep on lovin', baby
I can't keep on tryin'
Everybody knows(everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count

I can't keep on

REPEAT 1

Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, babe
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convinced me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count

So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll se ya around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count

Title: Top Of The World

[Mase]
Brandy, Dark Child
Mase get Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I went from Helly Hansen to mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now
Move like Tarzan now
Got a butter soft cover just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So I might give a six to my chick
Benz to my mom
Crib so big it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since lotto's and Benneton

[Brandy]
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed, yeah
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me like you I have to try and solve them
Yes everything is quite the same

CHORUS:
I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I've got to do
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I've got to prove
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world

Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Yeah yeah

I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, oh

Always in someone's eye, so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself always me and someone else
I need to be free but it's not that easy

REPEAT CHORUS

Sittin on top of the world

Don't understand why
People think I don' t have friends
Who knew me back when
This was my dream
Nothing has changed
I still do the same things, oh oh oh

[Mase]
Yo, we can cut the truckin' short
If it ain't about cake
I ain't sittin on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat wit a new BM
If you mess wit Brandy, I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like "who's your friend?"
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now
Either you wit the cats who make the hits
Or the one that see the chips
[Brandy](Slow down Mase, you're killing 'em)
But don't stop it
What's the use of buying away
If I'mma have to chop it
I used a leather lady till I learned her logic
She only mess wit Mase, no the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris, he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum wit ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he won't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it

REPEAT CHORUS

[Mase]
Yeah, Brandy on top of the world
Dark Child on top of the world
Mase be on top of the world, what?
Harlem World be on top of the world

Brandy on top of the world
Dark Child on top of the world
M-A-Dolla sign-E all over the world
Brandy, all over the world
All over the world
All over the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What, what
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what

[Brandy]
Sittin' on top of the world

Title: U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)

How could you lie to me
After all that we've been trhough
It's just so sad to see
Me in love with you
I gave you all of me
Still it wasn't enough for you
Is this how love's supposed to be
Now I'm tryin' to get over you

CHORUS:
You ain't missing me at all
Won't pick up the phone and call
U don't love me like U used to
Tell me what is going on
Got me standin' here alone
U don't know me, like U Used to

Remember what you said
When you stepped up on the scene
You got into my head
Had me stressin' like a feen
No, I just can't forget
How you'd put that thing on me
I wish we'd never met
This way I wouldn't be lonely

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, whoa
Oh, oh oh whoa
Oh oh oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh oh (repeat)

U don't know me
Know me like U used to
U don't know me
Know me like U used to

REPEAT CHORUS (2x)

Title: Never Say Never

CHORUS:
Who would ever thought a guy
Would want a girl like me
Who would ever thought that I
Would fall so easily
Who would ever thought that we
Would finally come to be
I guess they just don't know
How much you mean to me
Who would ever thought that they
Would have some words to say
We'll go on anyway
It's alright, it's okay
Take whatever comes our way
Together we will stay
I got three words to say
Never say never

I can't believe they'd stop our happiness
By tryin' to pull us down with such a mess
Why can't they let us live just like the rest
And keep us out of all this crazy madness
Now when they talk I think it's just a shame
That all they do is sit and think my name
When all I do is mainly
Sit and think about my baby and me

Now baby they can't believe that
You and me are together
That's why they should have never
Never say never, yeah yeah
There were times when we thought that
You and me could never be together
That's why we should have never
Never said never

REPEAT CHORUS

Now there's a lot of talkin' goin' round
About the way me and you gettin' down
What are they jealous or they hatin' me
I guess they all have their own PhD's
I wish that they would just stop sweatin' me
Stop tryin' to get the best of me
No matter what they say baby
Gotta move on cuz we're gonna be happy

We didn't let the words that we had
We didn't let the words that they said
Keep us from the love we now have
Never say never, yeah yeah

Simple for me to see when
Never would've been never if I let
Now that we are together
Never say never, say never

REPEAT CHORUS

Never say, never say
Never say never
Repeat (8X)

Title: Truthfully

How could she ever fool around
Don't know what she was thinkin' 'bout
While you were giving love
She let you down
Boy I know that you want to be alone
Cuz she broke your heart
And she sent you home
and you're wondering why
She was so cold

Well when they lie
They have to lie again
Cuz the lying never ends, so

CHORUS:
Truthfully
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me
Baby, I'll never lie
And you're the reason why
I will always tell the truth
Cuz the truth resides me

Boy I know it's a crying shame
Baby no no you shouldn't blame
Yourself for what she did
She was insane
Maybe where you go I will go
Whatever makes you happy
Let me know
Oh my heart will be right there
To console you maybe, and the lies will never begin
I will be your lover, your best friend so

REPEAT CHORUS

I will never say goodye
And I don't want to see you cry
God only knows I love you
But it's written in my eyes
You are the only one for me
There's no way I could ever leave
I would never, no never
Never lie to you
Truthfully

REPEAT CHORUS

Title: Have You Ever?

CHORUS:
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything
To make them understand
Have you ever had someone
Steal your heart away
You'd give anything, oh
To make them feel the same

Have you ever search for words
To get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

REPEAT CHORUS

Ooh
Have you ever find someone
You dreamt of all your life
You'd do just about anything
To look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one
You've given your heart to
Only to find that one
Won't give their heart to you

Have you ever closed your eyes
And dreamt that they were there
And all you can do is wait
For the day when they will care
Have you ever loved somebody

REPEAT CHORUS

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand
How I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
Cuz baby I can't sleep

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

Oh, Have you ever

Title: Put That On Everything

CHORUS:
If you're looking to find
A love that will stand till
The end of time
Baby relax your mind, my love is here
Hey yeah
I'll do everything I swear
I'll take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants will be nothing
I'll put that on everything

I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes, it's true
If you're anywhere and I'm not there
Just think one thought of love
And I'll appear oh baby

REPEAT CHORUS

Before I dream
I lay and think of you everynight
Honest to God
I'm tellin' you the truth, oh yeah
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You will love me so much
More each day, oh

BRIDGE:
I'll walk with you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountains' highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea, oh
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things
I'll put that on everything

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS (2x)

Put that on everything

Title: Happy

Darkchild
Brandy, Brandy

I don't even know
How it got this way
When I first met you
I never thought your love was true
But I'm glad I saw just what was in store
All the while you plan to be my man
Now I'm in love with you

CHORUS:
You make me happy
You make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby can't you see that
You make me happy
Make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby, baby, baby

In search of hapiness
Tryin' to find that one
Who can make my life so complete baby
If I only knew that someone was you boy
There would have been more happy days
So don't you go away

No one can make me feel this way
You always seem to make my day

So, don't you go away

REPEAT CHORUS

No one can make me feel this way (only you can make me feel this way)
You always seem to make my day (always seem to brighten up my day)

Baby, you can make me happy

REPEAT CHORUS(2x)

You make me happy
Make me feel so good
You make me happy
Make me feel so good
With the things you do for me
Oh baby, baby, baby!

REPEAT CHORUS(2x)

Title: One Voice

I had a dream, a crazy vision
Iit may sound strange this intuition
But it was true beyond description
And somehow I knew it was real when I saw

CHORUS:
One sky above there is just one source of love
If I've got one chance, one choice
I'll sing it from the heart
One song, one voice

I've seen the fires of deep division
The hearts of stone, the cold ambition
But I have found my sacred mission
To live in this world and still believe that there is

REPEAT CHORUS

A song, a song that heals
A melody of reason and freedom
With words that will speak for the weak
the hopeful and the strong
Sing it for everyone

Cuz there is

REPEAT CHORUS

Yes there is one sky above
One source of love
If I got one chance, one choice
Sing it from the heart
One song, one voice

Sing it with one song
One voice

Title: Tomorrow

SPOKEN:
Confused?
Not anymore
I mean, at the point, I thought I was wrong
But you see, he lied
He cheated, he betrayed me
Then he left
But it won't hurt anymore
Cuz now all my pain is gone, so long

So long to all my pain
Good night to all my heartaches
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving, oh yeah, yeah oh oh

If you would only treat me right
I'd stay by your side
But I am down to my last cry
So I'm leaving you, goodbye
You turned away from opportunities
To sit and talk things through
But now when I say I'm leavin' you
You have so much to prove

1-
So long to all my pain
Good night to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving tomorrow

Stop writing me sweet letters
And calling me on the phone
We argued constantly when I saw you
Always left me in the cold
I made the choice to finally go
Cuz I can't stand this pain
It's time for my last tear to fall
And me to smile again

REPEAT 1

Sorrows and heartache goodbye
I'm leaving you, oh
Don't wanna meet again
Has got to be the end, the end

The sun will finally shine on me
And clouds will drift away
There's something that's in store in me
That's my brighter day, oh

REPEAT 1

So long to all my pain
Good night to my heartache

Now I just can't wait
Tomorrow is too late
I'm leaving you today
Yeah yeah

Title: (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart
search your soul
And when you'll find me then you'll
Search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me, it's not worth dyin' for

1-
You know it's true (you know it's true)
Everything I do
I do it for you

Look into your heart
You will find
There is nothing there to hide
Take me as I am
Take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more

REPEAT 1

There is no love
Like your love
And no other could give me more
There's nowhere, unless you're there
All the time
All the way, yeah yeah

Oh oh oh oh

You can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
Just can't help it, there's nothing in the world I want more
I would fight for you, I'd die for you
Walk the wire for you
Yeah I'd die for you

REPEAT 1
