"Black Messiah" (2014) (with THE VANGUARD)

Ain't That Easy lyrics - D'Angelo

[Verse 1:]
Take a toke of smoke from me as you dream inside
Let your days slip away come with me and ride
My darlin'
You aren't the average kind
You need the comfort of my lovin'
To bring out the best in you
I hope that you do
See what you've given to me
Separatin', Debatin'
Stay with me that's all you gotta do

[Chorus:]
(Give yourself a chance) You can't leave me
(No way) It ain't that easy
(No way) To walk away
(Just stay) When I want you to stay, baby
(Give yourself a chance) You can't leave me
It ain't that easy
(Okay) Ow ow ow

[Verse 2:]
Ever hit with a choice that you can't decide?
Which direction left or right
Shut your mouth off and focus on what you feel inside
(See y'all know I'ma go with my vibe)
You won't believe all the things you have to sacrifice
Just to get peace of mind
And you take what they give as if it did suffice
Still it's just a waste of time
Aaah
I offer you the truth
You need the comfort of my lovin' to bring out the best in you
I wanna give you somethin' to feed your mind
Separatin', don't debate it
Faithfully we'll see this love through

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I got just what you need, babe
All this love you'll receive, yeah
I been waitin' so long

[Verse 3:]
I tell you this sincerely
I need the comfort of your lovin'
To bring out the best in me
I'm gonna keep you
Safe from evil opinion
What I got can't duplicate it
Faithfully we'll see this love through

[Chorus]

1000 Deaths lyrics - D'Angelo

[Verse 1:]
I can't believe I can't get over my fear
They're gonna send me over the hill
Ah, the moment of truth is near
They're gonna send me over the hill
I can't believe I'm so caught up in the thrill
Ain't nothin' (And nothing's) gonna change my will
Locked and loaded up, and I know the drill
(Say know what I'm saying)
They're gonna send me over the hill
I been a witness to this game for ages
And if I stare death in face, no time to waste
But oh!

[Chorus:]
And if I charge it to the game before
Every time I slip into the unknown
Well, that's only when the spot gets blown
It's war
That is the law!
I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch
Because a coward dies a thousand times
But a soldier only dies just once
Once, once

[Verse 2:]
Yaweh, Yehushua
He don't want no coward soldier
Aaah stick it in the golden sand
Musta didna hearda ma prayer
I receive everything that it means
And wield it victoriously
Aha, and cast out all the wickedness
(When they) send me over the hill
I was born to kill
Send me over the hill
I been a witness to this game for ages
And if I stare death in face, no time to waste
But oh!

[Chorus]

The Charade lyrics - D'Angelo

[Verse 1:]
Crawling through a systematic maze
And it pains to demise
Pain in our eyes
Strain of drownin', wading into your lies
Degradation so loud that you can't hear the sound of our cries (doo, doo)
All the dreamers have gone to the side of the road which we will lay on
Inundated by media, virtual mind fucks in streams

[Chorus:]
All we wanted was a chance to talk
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Feet have bled a million miles we've walked
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade

[Verse 2:]
Perpetrators beware say a prayer if you dare for the believers
With a faith at the size of a seed enough to be redeemed (doo doo)
Relegated to savages bound by the way of the deceivers
So anchors be sure that you're sure we ain't no amateurs

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
With the veil off our eyes we'll truly see
And we'll march on
And it really won't take too long
And it really won't take us very long

[Outro:]
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
All we wanted was a chance to talk
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
All we wanted was a chance to talk
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
All we wanted was a (the charade)

Sugah Daddy lyrics - D'Angelo

[Verse 1:]
It's just the way she's so raw and uncut
She needs a spankin' to shake her up
And I just wish that I could open her up
To this deeper place of love
High priced snake skin on her arm (oooh)
Lace satin covering up her charms
You shoulda seen the way they tossed and turned
The way she made the congregation squirm

[Chorus:]
Girl's got a worldly view
Apparently she sees through you
Her love was never meant to share for two
She said I'll do it if you'll be my sugah daddy

[Verse 2:]
Take a note from my philosophy
I'ma give her what she need
Can't snatch the meat out of the lioness mouth
Sometimes you gotta just
Ease it out
I give her a pacifier
I fill my baby's crib with all the lovin' Daddy wants to give
And when it comes to rocking her to sleep, I'll never tire
This is the way I pat my baby on the butt, good God
She had me hooked with only just one glance
She need a spankin', baby, that's wussup
Lawd, Lawd
You say you wanna be the one she chooses to star in her meaningless romance

[Chorus 2:]
Girl's got a worldly view
What's a sassy girl to do
And if the decision was left up to me
You best believe that I would be her sugah daddy
Brown eyes that will make you blue
Eyes that'll see right through you
She crossed her fingers when she said her vows
She said I promise that I'll sock it to you daddy

[Verse 3:]
So I take the child to my crib
I ain't gonna tell you what we did
I hit it so I made the pussy fart
She said it's talkin' to ya, talkin to ya Daddy

Really Love lyrics - D'Angelo

When you call my name
When you love me gently
When you're walking near me
Doo doo wah I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love with you

When you look at me
I open up instantly
I fall in love so quickly
Doo doo wah I'm in really love with you, doo doo wah I'm in really love with you
I'm in really love with you

All night beside you I'd lay
I love you deep when you come to my bed
Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
Ooh wah, I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love with you

When you touch me there
When you make me tingle
When our nectars mingle
Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love
I'm not an easy man, to overstand, you feel me
But girl your patient with me
Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love with you

All night I wish for you here
Lay your head beside my hip
Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
I'm in really love with you

Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
I'm in really love with you
Oh how I love the little things you do
I'm in really love with you

Back To The Future (Part I) lyrics - D'Angelo

Traveling at the speed of light and then
At the same time I'm in the same spot too
The room was kept in
'Bout the same way you left it
With about the threats you mess in attitude
Where ya' been with all your grin
Until all your friends turn their backs on you
Reminiscing over what you've been missing
Could be just like cousins kissing
That's taboo

[Chorus:]
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I used to get real high, now I
But now I'm just gettin' a buzz
I wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was

If you win, no matter if you lose
You got to come back again
Pay some dues
Back in Richmond, shit ain't changed a bit in
Niggas with a little piss in got some attitudes
I been wondering if I can ever again
So if you're wondering about the shape I'm in
I hope it ain't my abdomen that you're referring to
This what I want you to listen to

[Bridge:]
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh

[Chorus:]
Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
I said back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now

Till It's Done (Tutu) lyrics - D'Angelo

In a world where we all circle the fiery sun
With a need for love
What have we become?
Tragedy flows unbound and there's no place to run
Till it's done
Questions that call to us, we all reflect upon:
Where do we belong? Where do we come from?
Questions that call to us, we all reflect upon
Till it's done

Till it's done

Carbon pollution is heating up the air
Do we really know? Do we even care?
Acid rain dripping on our trees and in our hair
Are you there?
Clock ticking backwards on things we've already built
Sons and fathers die, soldiers, daughters killed
Question ain't "do we have resources to rebuild?"
It's "do we have the will?"

Perilous dissidence evening up the score
Do we even know what we're fighting for?
Destinies crippled and thrown about on the floor
When we're waging war
Questions that call to us, we all reflect upon:
Where do we belong? Where do we come from?
Questions that call to us, we all reflect upon
Till it's done

Till it's done

Prayer lyrics - D'Angelo

Soul prayer, soul prayer
Hallowed be thy name
Kingdom come, will be done, oh yeah
I do... the devil on your feet
I know that he will, he will try to stop you
From seeing your days
But you got to pray all the way
'Til you get on
I believe that some day we will rise

I know that he will try to harm you
And if you can
I know that you will make it to the promised land
But you got to pray, you got pray
Oh you got to pray for redemption
Lord, keep me away from temptation
Deliver us from evil, oh yeah
And all this confusion around me
Give me peace
I believe that love...

Betray My Heart lyrics - D'Angelo

As the day must have it's sun
And the night must have it's moon
Sure as both must rise and fall
I'll be there to see you through
Just as long as there is time
I will never leave your side
And if ever that you feel
That my love is not sincere

[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart

Like the breeze that blows in June
I will steady keep you cool
This I swear with all that's true
I'll take nothing in place of you
When you're feeling down, down, down
You, my soul, can depend on me
You don't ever have to fear
That my love is not sincere

[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart

[Bridge:]
Through the storm, through the rain
I'll come running to ease your pain
Like the rails that cross the trains
Like the blood in your veins

[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart

The Door lyrics - D'Angelo

I told you once but twice
You wasn't very nice
In your hands you held my life
I told you once but twice, my love
Don't lock yourself out that door
No, no, no
Don't lock yourself out that door

Behind a silky shade
You danced the masquerade
On a float in your parade
And on the music played
My love
Don't lock yourself out that door, no no no
Don't lock yourself out that door

I wrote a perfect song
You sang it all night long
Held your breath when you were done
And waltzed out with the sun
My love
Don't lock yourself out that door, no no no
Don't lock yourself out that door

I told you once but twice
You wasn't very nice
In your hands you held my life
I told you once but twice, my love
Don't lock yourself out that door, no, no, no
Don't lock yourself out that door

Back To The Future (Part II) lyrics - D'Angelo

I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna go back now
I just wanna go back now

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz

Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz

Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz

Another Life lyrics - D'Angelo

How does one attempt to be
The kind of friend that you would want to keep?
I just want to say to thee
Even though it might be hard to believe
The candy-coated thoughts that drift through my sleep
Let me know it's you that holds the key
I got a craving for confection so sweet
For the taste of when our lips first meet

[Chorus:]
Oh, in another life, I bet you wouldn't know that
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

I just wanna take you with me
To secret rooms in the mansions of my mind
Shower you with all that you need
Take my hand, I swear I'll take my time
I'm not surprised to find that angels compete
For the chance to lay down at your feet
I'm gonna touch in all of the places that please
Pull you close
I wanna feel you breathe

[Chorus:]
Oh, in another life, I bet you wouldn't know that
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

It's another reason for the season
I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl, Oh!

Devil's Pie lyrics - D'Angelo

[CHORUS]
Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs womeN wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them stand all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
From all that I despise

Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
If I die before I wake
I Hope the lord dont' hesitate
2 get 2 heaven done been through hell
Tell my peeps all is well
All them fools whose soul's 4 sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel

Demons screaming in my ear
All my anger all my fear
If I holler let them hear
In this spinning sphere

[CHORUS]

Main ingredients 2 this dish
Goes like this
Here's the list
Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures at a high degree
Wheres niggas come 2 feast
Hell's this all about
Apocalypse ain't no doubt

Everbody's ho'ing out all the loot all the clout
Right or wrong
Do or die
Only the vengeance will pacify
Watch your back
And so will I
In these days and time

[CHORUS]

Aint no justice
It's Just us
Ashes 2 ashes
Dust 2 dust
Time has come for most of us
2 choose in which God we trust
I know I was born 2 die
Searching 2 find
Piece of mind
With eighty five dumb and blind
There can be no compromise

Left & Right lyrics - D'Angelo (feat. Method Man & Redman)

[Redman]
Yo, yo

I see you dancing right now
I don't need to tell you that you know how
Baby you do, oh
I say you belong
And if you dream, you'd be free
I can take you there
Just follow me
Baby I won't, I won't steer you wrong
And it seems like to me
You want someone to treat you like their queen
Babe I do
So what'cha want?
Smack your ass, pull your hair
And I even kiss you way down there
You know I will

Until she got high and went and fucked Potsi
Lady Godiva
From day one a dick rider
Liar, liar set your pussy on fire

[Redman] [(Method Man)]
Yo Doc be off the wall
We keep a Marly cheap
Pulling a Harley deep with a jar of grease
Come 1-5-1, straight endo, the spot

Its Doc not guns don't sling weight
The only thing I sling is condoms for spring break
(Fuck 'em) How we do it?

[Method Man] [(Redman)]
Now take your coat off and stay a while
Now honey child if you're gon' be acting funny style
Then I don't need ya
It's Saturday, this night fever
Shit is popping, Acheeva my mouth cotton
Tis the season for draws dropping
And heavy breathing
You ain't skeezin' you dick teasin'
I'm leavin'
Acting rotten, I got no time for games
I'm no joke
Drop that ass when I'm finished
And watch it smoke
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

The Line lyrics - D'Angelo

Let me tell you about it
I wanna tell you about it
Let me tell you

I've been gone for so long
Just wanna sing, sing my song
I know you've been hearin'
Hearin' a lot of things about me

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know
I've heard, I've heard it all too clear
This is what I am going to do, yeah

I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold, hold on
Hold on to my pride, my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick
I'm gonna stick to my guns, gonna stick to my gun, yeah

I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gonna see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
That's all I wanna do, I've gotta put it on the line

And we haven't got much time
I've gotta put it, put it on the line
Know what I'm talking 'bout this evening
Said I get to put it, oh, yeah, I've gotta put it on the line

Listen to me

Said, I've got a bullet in the chamber
And I'm not afraid of the danger
I said, "We've gotta go down, down to the wire
I'll go through the fire with you, kill and die with you"

Said, "I know everybody watchin' me"
"I said the pressure is on from every angle, political 2 personal"
Will I hang or be left hangin'? Will I fall off?
Or will it be bangin'? And I say it's up to the man upstairs

I'm goin' to hold, hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal

I'm for real, yeah, I just wanna put it
Put it on the line, I've gotta put it on the line
Somebody out there knows I'm singin' it bad
Would you help me sing the song

Moment of truth
To be sure everything should be alright

Send It On lyrics - D'Angelo

[CHORUS]
Send it up

One Mo'Gin lyrics - D'Angelo

I know some things have changed since the last
I've seen you, some good, some for the bad
All and all I can't complain that's what I've been through, baby
But seeing you reminds me of the precious times we had

I wondered all this time 'bout how you been
And I hoped by chance, I'd see you once again
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin

I know you got someone, I got somebody too
But I'm unhappy and I miss the shit we used to do
I miss your smile, your mouth, your laughter, baby
I never bumped into your kind before or after

I wondered all this time 'bout how you been
And I hoped by chance I'd see you once again
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin

I know you gotta be gettin' back to your own thing
Baby, you got yours I got mine
I hope you know that you could call me, girl, when things change
If you want to we could catch up on some lost time

I wondered all this time 'bout how you been
And I hoped by chance I'd see you once again
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin

The Root lyrics - D'Angelo

She done worked a root, done worked a root
That will not be reversed, yeah, no
Then I go on, go on my role in her play
With no rehearsal

Said, I left my mojo left my mojo
In my favorite suit, yes I did, yeah
She left a stain, left a dirty stain in my heart
I can't refute, oh I can't, no I can't

She done worked a root
In the name of love and war took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom, that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha to creation, to the end of time, yeah
To the end of time

Said, I went, said I went, said I went to the doctor
The man told me there ain't nothin' wrong with me
But I beg to differ, I been feelin' this pain
For much too long, oh, yeah

I feel like my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs
I need someone to hold me
Bring me back to life before I'm dead
Oh, yeah

She done worked a root, root, root
In the name of love and war took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom, that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha to creation, to the end of time, time
Oh, oh, oh

I feel my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs
I need someone to hold me

Spanish Joint lyrics - D'Angelo

whenever it rains I feel this way
a little something 2 get me thorugh this
give me a little that, no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Serene but in need of feelin free
letting go and landing on my feet
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Well people believe this saying is true
whatever will be will forever do
whatever the cost I'll pay in full
I ain't got nothing to do with you

Gotta get out gotta get out of here
I'm in the dark, and the light looks sincere
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

All U do is complain about your pain
and the cloud that follows U won't cease to rain
dont look back handle that
make it into a good thing

Something up in me gotta be
sole controller in control of me
a link in your chain, just won't do
I don't want nothin' 2 do with U

Feel Like Makin' Love lyrics - D'Angelo

Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Watchin' lovers do their thing

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

When you talk to me
When you're moanin' sweet & low
When you touch me
And my feelings start to show, show, oh

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

In a restaurant
Holdin' hands by candlelight
Wanna touch you
Wantin' you with all my might

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

Greatdayndamornin' / Booty lyrics - D'Angelo

Today I played it safe, cards are in my favor
Can't you leave too much to chance
Woke up with time to waver
Yesterday was crazy

Mysteries I know now, now I know
The ins and outs of things from day to day
That's how it goes, don't get confused about it
Just try to do your thing
Cause in the end, gotta know just how to play the game

I search for answers often, I payed the price for many
Still long for happiness , not promised to the plenty
I've gotta go on

Good days, bad days, halfway days
Good times, bad times, halfway times
Good days, bad days, halfway days
But I'm still looking for a greatdayindamornin'

Today might be the day, I get it in the pocket
Lord knows if there's an angle, gotta try to find it
Gotta get over before the sun comes up
Just in case of an emergency, gotta tighten up

Good days, bad days, halfway days
Good times, bad times, halfway times
Good days, bad days, halfway days
But I'm still looking for a greatdayindamornin'

Africa lyrics - D'Angelo

Africa is my descent
and here I'm far from home
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone

The blood of god is my defense
let it drop down 2 my seed
showers 2 your innocense
2 protect U for all eternity
and with this wood I beat this drum
and we won't see defeat

From kings 2 queens becomes a prince
knowledge wisdom is
understanding what we need

Ever since the day U came
my whole world began 2 change
I knew then 2 dedicate my life,
4 your own
everyday I see U grow
and remember what U already know
I receive the love
that radiates from your glow

From which U came was love
and that's how it all should be
U and my soul are 1
through all the time and history

Brown Sugar lyrics - D'Angelo

Let me tell you 'bout this girl
Maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy

The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin'
Won't you listen

Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave

[Chorus]
I want some of your Brown Sugar
Sugar [4 times]
Oohooh

Oh Sugar when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like the honey when it comes to me
Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai

Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave

I want some of your Brown Sugar
Sugar [4 times]
Oohooh

Now that'd be how the story goes
Brown Sugar got me open, now I want some more
Always down for a menage troi
But I think I'ma hit it solo
Hope my niggaz don't mind

Stick out my tongue and I'm bout
ready to hit this pretty gritty
bitty with persistence
Yo, I don't think ya'll hear me

Brown Sugar babe I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
Sugar [4 times]
Oohooh

We may have a misunderstanding
That's okay.
Because your my girl and I'm your man,

Me And Those Dreamin' Eyes Of Mine lyrics - D'Angelo

[1st VERSE]
When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry
Then I'd dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become a reality
Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh
Cause you're the most precious thing
That my dreaming eyes has ever seen
So I'll continue to dream
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

[BRIDGE]
Is it just that you're the finest little thing
That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far
Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see
Something like me being with you, or you being with me

[CHORUS]
Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

[2nd VERSE]
Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass
I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad
But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen
Just like I do in all my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.

[REPEAT BRIDGE]

Smooth lyrics - D'Angelo

[1st VERSE]
How do you retain your cool,
Seems you love breaks all the rules,
You may think that I'm a pro,
But I can never seem to keep my control.
How can you stand to take things so slow.

Cruisin' lyrics - D'Angelo

Baby let's cruise away from here
Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
Oh, this is not a one night stand baby

Let the music take your mind
And just release and you will find, baby

We're going to fly away
Glad you're going my way

Baby, tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must, baby
And inch by inch we get closer and closer
Every little part of each other ooh, baby, baby

Just release and you will find, baby

When We Get By lyrics - D'Angelo

When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
I look in your eyes, when I look in your eyes
I know what your thinking of

T'is a beautiful day, and you're welcome to stay
We can spend some time and catch the matinee
You're so fine, and the day is fine, and we'll be fine
When we make it by and we get by with love

When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love

When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
I look in your eyes, I look in your eyes
They're pretty as the skies above

Everything, everything, everything is okay
We could make love in the shade, sip some chocolate lemonade
You're so fine, and the day is fine, and we'll be fine
When we get by and we make it by with love

When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
We'll make it by, when we get by with love
When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love

When we get by, we'll make it by, when we get by with love
I look in your eyes, I look in your eyes
I know what you're thinking of

'Cause it's a beautiful day and you know that's a fact
You scratch mine and I'll scratch your back sugar
You're so fine and today's fine
When we make it by and we get by with love

You're my lady

You're my lady

Don't think I don't see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh

I'm tired of hiding what we feel
I'm trying to get with the real
And I'm-a gonna make it known
'Cause I want them to know

[CHORUS]

You're my little baby, my darling baby
I swear you're the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what's going down
Babe, I know they've seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store, or maybe at the health food stand
They don't know that I'm your man

[CHORUS]

I can tell they're looking at us
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot wants to rob me of my girl
And my heart and soul, and everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me
There's no other lover for you or me
You're my lady

[BRIDGE (AD LIB)]

You're my lady
My divine lady
You're my lady
Such a wonderful lady
I can tell they're looking at us.

Higher lyrics - D'Angelo

[1ST VERSE]
Feels like heaven when I think about you
sparking that love within my soul
and when I touch U, I can't describe it
sending chills, down my bones

[1ST BRIDGE]
With God as my witness and watching over
We'll write our love in the stone
Please give us strength Lord to fight our battles
and we can walk on the streets of gold

[CHORUS]
Cause you take me higher, than I've ever, ever known
give me good feeling, like a king and queen on a throne
cause you take me higher, further than the sky above
send me in ecstasy baby, with you love

[2ND VERSE]
Tell me what you're thinking of, must thinking of love
put your hands into mine and then we'll take off to the sky above
soft like an angel, like the feathers laying on a dove
touch me with your soul love, till I lose control

[2ND BRIDGE]
Just like an angel watching over me
(U protect me from my fears)
I once was blind, but now I see
(Ever since the day U appeared)
I just wanna say
I want U in my life
till the day I die baby

[Repeat]

Look in my eyes,
tell me right now,
that U and your love
will 4-ever take me higher

[REPEAT 1ST BRIDGE]

Can't Hide Love lyrics - D'Angelo

Uuuuuhhhh, Yeah Uuuuuh

You want my love and you can't deny
You know it's good, but you try to hide
You turn down love like it's really bad
You can't give what you never had
Well bless your soul, you can fool a few (hey ai)
But, I know the truth and so do you

You can't hide love,
But I betcha (uuuhh) betcha (betcha)
You can't hide longer
Well I betcha (well I betcha)
You can't hide feeling inside

You can't pretend there's nothing there
Girl, I look in your eyes, I see you care
So why not stop trying to run and hide
You won't find out, if you never try

You can't hide love,
But I betcha (uuh) betcha (betcha)
You want my love well I betcha (well I betcha)
You can't hide feeling inside

Can you found the time for kissin'
Can you find the time to listen
Life found the time to bug you
Can you find the time for blessing (heeyy aaaiii)

Aaahhhhh ahhhha aaahaaaaaahh

She's Always In My Hair lyrics - D'angelo

Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair, my hair
Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
Even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat
She's always there tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair, my hair
(Maybe I'll marry her)
Maybe I'll marry her, maybe I won't
Maybe I will not
Let me tell U, baby (Even if I was a gigolo all my life)
If I was a gigolo all my life
She'd still be there tellin' me just how much she really cares
(She cares)
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair, my hair
Yeah
Listen...
Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there tellin' me just how much she cares
(Tellin' me how much she cares)
Tell me, baby
Always in my hair
She's always in my hair, my hair
She's always in my hair [repeat 2 fade]
