True To Myself lyrics

Everybody wants to rise above
Without a touch of dignity
Without a stroke of love

Take a little time and check yourself
To live the life you're praying for
Just be true to yourself

Everybody wants to be your friend
If you got a dime to lend
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why

Chorus:
I'm true to myself ya'll
I'm true to my family

When I'm far away
Could I ever be untrue?
Naw baby

Could I fade away
Find somebody new?
Naw baby

Though this road gets long and weary
I'm always coming home to you

Chorus
I'll be there for you
Oh baby I'll be waiting around for you
I'll be there for you oh baby I
I'll be there for you

Could a summer breeze
Compare when you're in view?
Naw baby

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
Available for you to see
Well I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've got to be me

You'll never be down
That's what it's all about
Can't take me for granted smile
Count my days I'm gone
Together me and you by phone
I promised I'll be gone for a while

When you see me again
I hope that you have been

I never felt the wind so cold

Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)

I never knew what it was to be a man

Well let me show you baby

'Cause now I understand

I never thought it'd hurt so bad

You never know 'til you lose what you had

I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town

Now I know where to find true lovin'

And I knew the first time that I ever seen you

This feels so wrong, I'm so confused
You give me love, but you can't be true
You say you need your space and time
With or without you I'll lose my mind

Oh yes I know if meant to be
In the future we'll be hand in hand
But girl right now you're killing me
'Cause I know you're making love to another man

Chorus:
Do you really want to be just friends
Don't you s'til love me

Oooh what you do to me(yeah yeah)

Quietly your silhouette appraches me
A vision far too lovely
to deifne
(hey yeah)
Tenderly you take complete control
of me
The feminine seduction of body, soul
and mind (yeah)

CHORUS:
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women wnat to be
Softly you move when you're making
love to me
Love me every night with femininity

Through this veil of tears
I can see what was suppose to be
Now it's all so clear
Love from you was so real, so true, genuine
Stronger than time

Chorus:
Wipe your tears away
Kiss you every morning
Hear every word you had to say
Are all the things I should have done
While you were here
And now the foolish boy has grown
Into this man I'm sorry you've never known

Oooh girl, lover friend
From the day we first began
Felt a connection to you

Somehow can't explain
No one's made me feel the same way
You do

Your heart and mine are one
somethin' deep is goin' on
It's like we've been here before

Seems like God above
Had a reason to bring your love
To me

CHORUS:
I love what i'm feelin'
(a spirirtual thang)
You're giving to me , yeah

Break the chain

Tracy is a good girl
Sweet 16
Her daddy's in her bedroom
Makes her feel unclean
She's slave to a secret
That her dad and she keep together

Nathan is a genius
Or at least he was
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
Nat lives on the streets now
For $20 bills he'll do whatever

Chorus:
Don't stop breaking the chains
Don't stop breakin' away

Why is my heart so
Afraid of letting go
And why did I push you away

It's so simple to see
That we were meant to be
But why are three words hard to say

It's all in the game
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game

After all of this time
Can't get you off of my mind girl
To you every girl I'd compare

Every night she's trying
To satisfy me

Girl it's true
I can't deny
I've been around a couple of times
So you're afraid
This love in me
Tomorrow we'll no longer be
My heart beats stronger
At the end of each day
Can you feel the rhythm between the two of us
I'd be a fool to turn away
Baby all I'm trying to say is

Chorus:
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
You're more than just a temporary love of mine

What if i made some time to listen
to you
What if you made some time to hear
me too
What if we took the time to realize
Givin' some love is givin' compromise
What if I could show you that my love
is true
Without all these changes we be
going through
What if we learned to play it by the rules

Chorus:
What if we was cool...cool
Wasn't acting like fools...foools

I never felt the wind so cold
Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause now I understand

I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you had
I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'

And I knew the first time that I ever seen you
