A Day In The Life lyrics

Hello baby how ya been nice to see your face again
Strange to see you comin' 'round when you're the one who put me down
We were such a happy pair but then another man was there
So forgive me I don't understand just what you want from me
As you can see my life's been good I moved the family out the
neighborhood

(Eric Benet)
It’s not your situation
I just need contemplation over you (over you)
I’m not so systematic
It’s just that I’m an addict for your love (ooh...oh)

Am I the only one that holds ya
I never ever should have told ya you’re my only girl
(never should have told you)
Am I the only one that holds ya (no, no)

[Eric Benet]

Ooh...ooh

Umm...ooh

La...la...la

Ooh...yeah

[Eric Benet]

I never knew such a day could come

And I never knew such a love could be inside of one

And I never knew what my life was for

But now that yo're here I know for sure

[Tamia]

I never knew til I looked in your eyes {oh baby}

I was incomplete til the day you walked into my life {umm...hmm}

Hook:

I just wanna do something real to you
Like a real brother is suppose to do

I just wanna do something real to you

Loving Your Best Friend
(Wyclef Jean/Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis/Eric Benét)

When You Think Of Me
featuring Roy Ayers
(Eric Benét/James Poyser/Vikter DuPlaix)

Hello baby how ya' been,
nice to see your face again
Strange to see you coming 'round,
when you're the one who put me down
We were such a happy pair,
but then another man was there
So forgive me I don't understand,
just what you want from me

As you can see my life's been good

Lamentation
(Eric Benét/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Chalmers Alford)

I saw my brother
He did me wrong
He put a gun up to my face
My money's gone

I said please don't be that way
I'm just trying to make it through the day
He said you better not come 'round
me before too long

Chorus:

Whoa ooh
Love is crying (whoa oh)
Love is dying (whoa oh)
Love is crying (whoa oh)

Omm

Dust In The Wind
(Kerry Livgren)

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

It's the same old song
We're just a drop of water, in an endless sea
All we do

Why You Follow Me
(Eric Benét/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Chalmers Alford)

Oh
Hey hey
Hey
La la la
He, friend for all my life
I would not deny
Like brothers in my mind. She, treasure of his heart
There upon his arm
Eyes of midnight stars
I've been tempted by forbidden love before
But why must she be everythin
That I've been praying for
Now this burning in my heart will I ignore

Come As You Are
(Eric Benét/George Nash Jr.)

Here in my mind
Replaying every line
Remembering all of the love we made
You told me only yesterday
Nothing could take your love away

Here in this room so many traces of you
So many nights lying by your side
Sleeping with secrets deep inside
Secrets your eyes could not deny

Chorus 1:

Come as you are
Lay with me

Love The Hurt Away
(Eric Benét/Demonté Posey/George Nash Jr.)

Now we've been friends girl for quite a while
I've never been the kind for beggin' and pleadin'
But I can tell by your hazy smile
All of his lies you've been finding are heavy on your mind

He broke your heart and he took your pride
Will you ever love again?
Though you try you don't believe it

Ghetto Girl
featuring Me'Shell Ndegéocello
(Eric Benét/Demonté Posey/Jeffrey Young)

Ghetto baby
I'm in need of something
That I lost along the way
You know that money's cool
But it makes my world so strange
Now I got ladies talking to me
But they ain't got shit to say
It's like I've come this far just to miss simpler days
I need to feel her tonight
Deeper love with honesty

mmm, love of my own
yeah

somewhere in my memorie an image fades from the years
but still I see my love and me together
her face washed away by the salt of my tears
but I can feel so vivid still the love I felt for her

someone's lying by me but I'm all alone
seems you'll have to say goodbye
somewhere there's a heartbeat of the love of my own

Poetry Girl
(Eric Benét/Osunlade)

Sing to me...

She was a poetry girl I adored
Late at night I'd hear songs from her window
Myrrh and frankincense seeped through her door
And they lingered on

As her fingers caressed her guitar
Felt like the strings of my heart she was strumming
With her words we made love from afar
As she sang her song

Chorus:

CHORUS:
I just wanna do something real to you
Like a real brother is supposed to do
Just tell me how you feel baby
I'll give you something real baby
(repeat)

VERSE 1:
Let's not pretend, I promise if we keep it real
Girl you will discover I'll give you pleasure like no other
It's very spiritual but also physical
Mere words can't tell, you'll have to feel it for yourself

oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I never knew such a day could come,
and I never knew such a love could be inside one.
And I never knew what my life was for,
now that you're here I know for sure.

I never knew till I looked in your eyes,
I wasn't complete till the day you walked into my life,
and I never knew that my heart could feel so,
precious and pure one love so real

Love Don't Love Me
from the Brothers soundtrack

Mmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm
Yeah....ooh...
Yeah....ooh...
Yeah....ooh...
Uh, uh, mmm, hmm

Time
I still don't know the reason after all this time
I'm all alone but see it comes as no surprise
It seems like I don't laugh each time that love goes right
Every time

By chance
Somethin' happens every time I get a chance
