Stars look up at you, baby.

So many times, you could have walked away.
But I didn't have to say a word to convince you to stay.
Cause you know and I know this thing is real.
So we continue to learn, and our love grows deeper still.

Each day I watch you get better at this.
Each moment, I'm more and more convinced.
We trusted love, we took the risk.
We ran our own pace, we won our race.

And I could never turn away...

We've come
so far
Stars looking up at you baby.
My heart
belongs
right here next to you baby.

If I had just one wish, it would be to stay together...
Stay together, grow together.
It's not much to ask of us.
I know we can do it, I always knew it.

Always look at me the way you do today.
Treat me like a friend. Listen to what I say:
Cause girl I'm with you, with you always.
Always.

But I would never turn away...

We've come
so far
Stars looking up at you baby.
My heart
belongs
right here next to you baby.

I said the stars are lookin up at you...smilin'.

Aways look at me
-same way you do today.
Treat me like a friend.
-Listen to what I say
Say,
-Oh yea

I could never turn away, no...

We've come
so far
Stars looking up at you baby.
My heart
belongs
right here next to you baby.

"Stars" Kindred The Family Soul

Like Raphael

I was walking down the street, looking at my feet
I didn’t have no shoes.
On the way to school, looking like a fool
And everybody knew.

But it was all right ’cause my friends of mine
Knew I had a guitar
They knew I would play, become a big star
And I would go so far

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...

Going down the street playing at the mall
On the cheap bikes
Looking for somebody to steel, somebody to rob
and somebody to fight

I didn’t know my name as well as I knew my friends
But I knew we were so cool
Everybody wanted to play by their own rules
We didn’t go to school

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...

By the times I was 14 or 15
Trying to pass my driving test
The thing to do was to drive to school
’cause I could never win for best dressed

I drove a raggedy car, to sneaking to the bars
Young boy life has no stress
Watching cartoons and poppin balloons
That was the best

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...


"Remember The Times" Lucy Pearl

Cold feet

Give me somethin for me to understand,
You're the only one who makes me lose it.
Lately we have vanity fallin behind
I wanna make-up for lost time.

Show me what it is that keeps me here,
I'll be the only one you'll ever need, dear.
Lately we have had our ups and downs,
I want you right here, right now...

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, makin me see that I need you now.
All that I needed was some kind of feelin
All in-between, makin me scream "Baby I need you now..."

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, makin me see that I need you now.
All that I needed was some kind of feelin
All in-between, makin me scream "Baby I need you now..."

Tell me everything there is to know,
But it doesn't mean a thing if you don't show.
Lately I've been feelin' the weight of the world.
It feels so unsure, things aren't like they were.

Listen for a minute dont' you leave.
Baby I need you and you need me.
Is this love or is this war?
The time is now for our new start...

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, lettin me see that I need you now
All that I needed was some kind of reason
Calling on me, making me see that the time is now

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, letting me see that I need you now
All that I needed was some kind of reason
Calling for me, makin me see that the time is now...

I'm not to blame for the pain

"Previouscats" Musiq Soulchild

First things first, girl, recognize who is with you now.
Second thing, can't blame me for how you were treated before I came.
See I'm not Steven, Anthony even, Leroy or Ivan...
damn girl I've been right there for you since day one,
so where's all this coming from.

See now...
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats, yeah
Who had your heart before me, girl no
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me

Now what is with all the questioning about
Where I've been and why must you roll your eyes
When I say she's just a friend I knew before
Not like I call you Sabrina, Pam or Tanisha
Andrea either. Girl we go deeper then any other
I had before so tell me why you ignore.

See now...
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats, yeah
Who had your heart before me, girl no
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me

Now I don't know
What them young boys did
To make you insecure, but I think you need to let it go.
Don't let your past get all in the way
Cause what is here today may not be guaranteed tomorrow.

I'm not out of line just speaking my mind when I say that I
I put in too much time for another's brother's crimes.

Maxwell love re-kindled

It happened the moment, when you were revealed
'Cause you were a dream that you should not have been
A fantasy real
You gave me this beating baby
This rhythm inside
And you made me feel good and feel nice and feel loved
Give me paradise

So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder

So tell me how long
How long it's gonna take until you speak, babe
'Cause I can't live my life
Without you here by my side
Ooh...
You gave me the feelin', feelin' in my life

So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder...

at the end of the day

i just love you even more.

the next few

it's like a terminal illness.



"I can let my life pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time"

i'm lost.
i'm numb.
i'm fading.
i'm neurotic.

i need to step out of all this that i've gotten myself into.

this relationship thing is really starting to scare me.

i love you.

not too long ago

1. "I think I'd be good for you, and you'd be good for me." Weezer, El Scorcho

I've met my match because you're so hard to win-over. Previous catches have been such a breeze. Speaking 100 words or less while giving a sly smile usually resulted in a girl fainting in my arms, wanting me to rescue them with a single kiss. Then again, they were sloppy catches. But you...you make me want to try...to try to work...to work to earn...to earn your hand. And I'm realizing that if I want to earn your hand, I've got to step-up my game. Where is my "it's not being lazy, it's being free" attitude going? In the 6 weeks I've known you, what have you done to me? Suddenly I'm challenging my intellect. Suddenly I'm trying to not be selfish. Suddenly I'm having self-control. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to throw-in the towel and flail a sweaty arm around something cheaper, but I know that I need the challenge that is you. In seeing how amazing you are, I'm starting to realize that I can be amazing as well. Let's call it a draw, and just kiss me.

2. Where do we stand? Well, we don't stand. We're merely walking and talking and waiting for the other to make a move and calling it "just friends". And there's this small fence built between us. I'm not bowing down and hopping over to your side, and I know you'd never dream of walking on my side. This fence is silly. It's made of cheap material and made half-heartedly. If you're game, let's kick it down. If it's meant to be, we'll make it work. The problem is that we both know we'd make awesome partners in crime but aren't willing to admit that we'd like to start something. Well, that's what I hope is true.

3. I want you. Badly. (I really should be keeping this to myself). My gaze is so transfixed upon you that everything around is a blur. It's a feeling I never imagined could happen to me ("Oh, that's only in the movies") and a feeling that I've tried to block for straightshooter's sake ("Don't be a wuss"). I've come to realize that this infatuation could be mistooken for weakness...but really, it takes courage, wisdom, and freedom to be open to love. Being able to face love is the only way I'll experience real love. Trying to block emotions so as to look "strong" is showing weakness...that I am not willing to take-up the challenge of love.

4. You have caused the recent papermill of scribbled & tossed lyrics. The inspiration that left me a year ago has come back. You can never understand how much that means to me...the inspiration my frustrated fingers have ached for. Non-stop on every writable surface is you. Like I said, you are amazing. I hope you know that. And it takes a lot for me to be amazed.


i miss the heat.
i miss the frustration.
i miss the heartache.
i miss the awaiting passion.
i miss your inspiration.
i miss the way you made me feel.

As Remy would say..."It's the way I feel...."

Could I have a minute of your time,
I can't wait another while
To tell you what I'm feelin',
To show you that I'm real and

I haven't been around for very long,
can't believe that it's so strong.
Gone everywhere, lookin' too hard,
and now love isn't far...

'Cause here you are, infront of me,
someone I can really see...

in my arms tonight.

I'll be your's and you'll be mine,
I can't help but smile.
You are what I'm wantin'
and you've got what I need and

I don't think, and I don't know
if I could ever let go...

with you it feels so right

and you're in my arms tonight...

I really wanna work it out down here in hell with you

The Taurus and her Cancer

Usually this makes the best of all love horoscope combinations. Cancer likes a good home with much affection, and so does Taurus. Deep inside this is what every Taurean hopes to find when undertaking conventional responsibilities (settling down). From an emotional point of view, there is nothing in the stars that bar the prospect of a happy married life between these zodiac sign match ups. One thing the Taurean must remember is that Cancer is exceedingly sensitive, and will crawl into a shell if unhappy emotionally. Taurus on the other hand, knows the Cancer's spirit and instinctively knows how to fix the problem once it arises.

Cancer and Taurus were just plain born for each other. With this in mind woe is either one if this sun sign relationship does not work out! Just as the love between these two will be the stuff of legends, so will the conflict. The reason for this is that even in hate, there will still be love, and this will be very confusing for both of them, the confusion will translate to fear, and this will make the conflict brutal. Lesson here? If you are in this type of a relationship you should make every effort to avoid alienation.

These two are reserved at first, and want to take their time getting to know each other while dating. They're both looking for a sure thing, and won't rush pell mell into romance. Taurus loves the sensual pleasures, not least of which is eating, and Cancer is all too eager to indulge along with them. After the first fifty lowkey dates, there may be subtle, indirect overtures of affection. Once the floodgates are open, these two are cozy lovers happy to root in one spot.
Taurus is looking for material security, Cancer for emotional security and visions of a shared future start to emerge, perhaps a dream home.

Taurus is possessive, but Cancer doesn't mind, and might even secretly consider it a show of love. The steady, loyal nature of Taurus fulfills the Cancerian longing for something enduring. Both are fairly domestic, and happy to land somewhere and start accumulating things, kids and memories. The ritual of making and sharing meals together can be an important aspect of their relationship. They're compatible in the bedroom, as well, since they bring together the physical sensuality of Taurus with the emotional depth of Cancer. This is a match that may get off to a slow start, but stays together for the long haul.

Taurus fulfills Cancer’s secret sexual fantasies. This combination is perfect for sex and romance. Both are emotional, sensual and family oriented. They both could leave other love relationships once they have met and fallen in love. Cancer has finally found someone who can provide the right intensity that past lovers were unable to deliver. These two will travel and experience many pleasurable pursuits together. Music and sensual excitement will always be evident in this attraction. Taurus loves Cancer’s depth and would drop everything in order to hold on to this sexy and mesmerizing sign. Sex could leave them speechless and whatever language they speak, they will not need a translator. Sex will be what attracts them and love will be what ultimately keeps them together. Taurus will need to tone down stubbornness or Cancer will feel left out and become moody. Cancer has a stabilizing influence and can bring a sort of sexual healing into Taurus life.
