Home

When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing

Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back there
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again

Suddenly my world has changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing

If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?

Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me

And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like me

Like home...

I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love

Mmmm, hmmm.
Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Ah, dee, uh, dee, duh, uhhhhh, mmmmm.
I was a victim of my foolish thinking.
Carelessly I risked my love and my life.
There's no self-pity.
I admit I obliged for the power by love,
I pretended to be blind.
Fate has survived all the doubts I summoned.
My heart has stood all the failure and loss.
Helpless, I cannot further be driven.
(Mmmmmmm, ooooh, ooooh, oooooh.)
I've learned to respect the power of love.
I've learned to respect (Oh, ohhh.) the power of love.
I've learned to respect, oh, the power of love.
I've learned to respect, oh, oh, the power of love.
I was always afraid of being the one left hurt
(Ooooooh.) Running away from the one thing
From which I've always yearned.
I'm not ashamed to tell you.
Many nights, I've tossed and I've turned.
I've learned to respect the power of love.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

I need you. Oooooh.
I want you beside me. (Beside me.)
I trust you.
Oooh. I believe, I believe in you.
I adore you.
I love you so.
Don't you know I've learned, I've learned.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (I've learned to respect the power of love.)
I've learned it. (I've learned to respect the power of love.)
Baby, baby, baby, I've learned the power of love.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
I've learned it. Yes I did. Ohhhh, yeah.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
And I'm not ashamed to tell you. Oh, ohhhhhhhh.

Oh, honey, honey, I need you. Oooooh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's that power. Ummmm.
Baby, baby, baby, I've learned.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
And I'm not ashamed to tell you that. Oh.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
I'm talking about the power. Yeah.
I'm talking about the power. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
(The power of love.) Oooooooooooooooooooooh, ooooooooooh.
The power. Oh, oh, oh, it's so good.
It's so good to me.
I'm talking about power. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

And everybody, I-I-I wanna talk about the feeling.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk about the loving.
(The power of love.) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Let's talk about the power. (The power of love.)
(...the power of love.) Oh, 'cause I-I've learned the power.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
I've learned, I've learned, I've learned. Oh, ohhh.
(I've learned to respect the power of love.)
I said I-I-I-I've learned. Oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Baby, baby, I've learned it, oh, oh,

I Feel Good All Over

Mmm, hmm

The night we met
I often remember
Two strangers meeting for the very first time
Now here we are
Facing each other
Two lovers holding on to something real

Something so meaningful
If you wanna know how I feel

I feel good
(I feel good)
Baby, I feel good all over
(Baby, I feel good all over)
You and I have what others dream about
We've finally worked it out

Say no more
Your expression shows it
I see a little sunshine inside of you
Just to be with you is so exciting
Who would have thought it could to me, mmm

It's no secret we're in love
Even a little child can see

I feel good
(I feel good)
Baby, I feel good all over
(Baby, I feel good all over)
You and I have what others dream about

You know I've been many places
I've seen lots of faces
Thought I knew just about everything
Everything there is to know

Yet you never
(Never)
Cease to amaze me
(Cease to amaze me)
The main reason I live is because

You make me feel good
(I feel good)
Baby, I feel good all over
(Baby, I feel good all over)
When I think about all the good things you do

You do to me, baby
(I feel good)
Oh, oh
(I feel good)

Baby, I feel good all, all, all over
(Baby, I feel good all over)
The way you hold me and smile my way
(I feel good)
Oh...
(I feel good)

I...
I feel good
You make me, make me feel so, feel so good
(Baby, I feel good all over)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I feel so good
Oh, oh, yeah

I feel good
(I feel good)
Can't you see I feel good all over?
(Can't you see I feel good all over?)
I wanna let you know
(Wanna let you know)
Yeah
(From head to toe)

I love you so, yeah
(I love you so)
(I feel good)
Yes, I do
(I feel good)

Oh, baby
Oh, honey
Oh, sugar, I feel good all over?
(Can't you see I feel good all over?)
Sweet
(Sweet things you say to me)
Oh, yeah
(Whoa, oh, oh, I love this, love this)

I feel good
(I feel good)
Oh, baby
I feel good all over
(Can't you see I feel good all over?)
You and I
We have what others dream about
We've finally worked it out

(You're Puttin') A Rush on Me

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better

What kind of girl do you think I am
It's just too soon, can't you understand

I'm not the kind of girl who has to
Lay you down before I fall in love
It's been kind of relaxed here waiting?
But baby, you got to slow down

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

Please just be patient if nothing else, oh, babe
Just know that I respect myself, yes, I do

But I hope I didn't lead you to thinking
Thinking that I was that easy, boy
I know that we're living in the 80s
Yet some things never change

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

I'm just an old fashioned girl
When it comes down to love
Before I give you some love
I've got to be sure your intentions are pure

(Oh, babe) You're puttin' a rush on me (Take it easy, baby)
But I'd like to know you better (Don't rush it, baby)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time, oh...)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Puttin' a rush on me)
Baby, can't you see (Oh, can't you see)
Puttin' a rush on me (You're puttin' a rush on me)
Yeh, ey, hey, hey

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh, babe)
But I'd like to know you better (Puttin' a rush on me, don't-don't do it, babe)
You're puttin' a rush on me (I can't stand it, baby)
But I'd like to know you better (Don't you do it, baby, ah... oh... oh...)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh... oh... oh... oh...)
But I'd like to know you better (Yeah)

You're puttin' a rush on me (You're puttin' a rush on me)
Oh, baby, can't you see (Oh, baby, can't you see)
Puttin' a rush on me (Puttin' a rush on me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd like to know

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Oh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, babe)
You're puttin' a rush on me (Slow down, boy)
But I'd like to know you better (Take it easy)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better

Something in the Way (You Make Me Feel)

[Chorus]
Something in the way you make me feel
Feel, feel (Tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (Oh)
Feel, feel (And it makes me feel real good)

[Verse 1]
I've been up and I've been down
Until you helped me put my feet on solid ground
I've been rich and I've been poor
Then you showed me that there's so much more

[Pre-Chorus]
Than the rat race and the fast pace
Could ever offer me
When I look back, baby
You've always been there for me

[Chorus]
Something in the way you make me feel (Ain't no doubt it)
Feel (I wanna shout about it), feel (I tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (Oh)
Feel, feel (And it makes me feel real good, hmm)

Something in the way you make me feel (Oh oh)
Something in the way you make me feel (Oh oh oh)

[Verse 2]
I've been talked about and I've been scorned
I've been praised and I've been adorned
I've met all kinds, traveled over this world
And still your love turned me into a different girl

[Pre-Chorus]
You got the right touch and I don't know what
Came over me
But when I woke up, honey
It was so plain to see

[Chorus]
Something in the way you make me feel (I wanna talk about it)
Feel (Get up and walk and shout), feel (I tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (Oh)
Feel (You make me feel), feel (I tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (Oh, it's something in the way)
Feel (Yes, it's something in the way), feel (I tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (I wanna talk about it)
Feel (Oh), feel (And it makes me feel real good, real good)

Something in the way you make me feel (Oh oh)
You make me feel real good-good-good-good
Something in the way you make me feel (Yeah, yeah)
You make me feel real good-good-good-good (Oh oh)

[Bridge]
You got the right touch and I don't know what
Came over me
When I woke up, honey
It was so plain to see

[Chorus]
Something in the way you make me feel (Ain't no doubt about it)
Feel (I wanna shout about it), feel (Tell the world about it)
Something in the way you make me feel (I wanna talk about it)
Feel (Yeah, yeah), feel (I tell you, baby)
Something in the way you make me feel (You make feel it)
Feel (You make me feel it), feel (Oh)
Something in the way you make me feel (You make me feel it)
Feel (You make me feel loved), feel (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Something in the way (Ooh) you make me feel (You make feel it)
Feel (You make me feel it), feel (You make me feel real good all over, yeah)
Something in the way you make me feel (You turn me in and out)
Feel (You make me scream and shout), feel (Oh oh oh)
Something in the way you make me feel (You make feel, oh)
Feel (You make me feel), feel (Oh)
Something in the way you make me feel (You make me feel)
Feel (You make me feel), feel (Tell you, babe)
Something in the way you make me feel
Feel, feel (Touch that I need so much)
Something in the way you make me feel
Feel, feel
Something in the way you make me feel
