"It's like yesterday, i didn't even know your name
Now today, you're always on my mind
I never could have predicted that i'd feel this way

You are a beautiful surprise

Intoxicating everytime i hear your voice
You get me on a natural high
Its almost like I didnt even have a choice

You are a beautiful surprise

What ever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause

I woke up this morning
You were the first thing on my mind

I dont know were it came from
All I know is I need you in my life, yeah

You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend till the end
Can I walk with you through your life

If he were a color
He'd be a deep dark
forest green
If he were a car
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all
of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
and he is so wise
If he were a number
He'd be a five cause he has
such a brilliant mind
If he were an animal
he'd be an ass
Cause he's so stubborn sometimes

But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin
Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else
Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself
And now your chest burns and your backaches
From 15 years of holding the pain
And now you only have yourself to blame
If you continue to live this way

[Chorus:]
Get it together
You wanna heal your body

The sweetest honey to the brightest flower
The largest planet to the smallest atom
Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
Smaller than the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive

Heard a man on the radio today
(Spoken)I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've
been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life

I remember the first day I met you
We were so young
You were a blessing
There was no guessing, you were the one

Love was so crazy
We had a baby and said our vows
Thats when you told me
Should anything happen, I can hear you now
You told me if the sun comes up and Im not home, be strong
If Im not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when theyre old enough to understand

Thank you for relaxation, complication
Hibernation, and irrational seclusion
Confusion, all my impurity and insecurity
Cause l know it's God just perfecting me
That's why, today I take life as it comes

Chorus
Headed in the right direction
I can see the light of day
I've got love as my connection
There's an angel showing me the way

Been reaching for love all my life
I couldn't find it always one step behind it
Now I know it was mine all the time finally I am

Chorus
Headed in the right direction
I can see the light of day
I've got love as my protection
There's no need for me to be afraid

I release all disappointment
From my mental, physical, spiritual and emotional body
Cause I know that spirit guides me
And love lives inside me
That's why, today I take life as it comes

Interested
by India.Arie

Your favorite food, what you like to do
Your favorite color, or any other
Thing on your mind that youd like to share
Cause I can stay here and listen to every word

Because Im interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in youre life?
Is that all right?
Because Im interested, Id rather be with you instead
Of any one else

Been around the whole world still aint seen nothing like my neighborhood
And of all of the fancy satin and silk my white cotton feels so good
Searched high and low for a place where I can lay my burdens down
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like the peace that I have found

Chorus: Little Things (It's the little things)
And the joy they bring
Little things (it's the little things)

So far from where I started out
So far from where I wanna be
Listening for answers in the wind
But can't find a rock to plant my feet

Looking for love in all the wrong places
Down on my knees and now
I'm praying for patience
I know there's gotta be a better way
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say

Chorus:
Slow down baby
You're going too fast
You've got your hands in the air

When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart with her
Have a heart to heart with her
Just like you would
With your daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

Now when you go to her
Speak truthfully
Honest as you can be from your heart

The One
By India.Arie

Ive got this feeling that I need to express
Letting it out so you dont have to guess
Im making myself vulnerable
But you keep holding back so scared to let go
If youre looking for love I think I could be
The one, the one, the one yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me why you wanna be so cruel
Acting like you dont feel the way that you do
Weve got the strongest compatibility

Let me tell you why I love him

Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way
That he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him
Then I must be fly because
His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie

I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
