Exit

You opened a new world for me
You showed me all in life in God’s hands has a way out
You made me breath again
You brought life back in my soul and made me fall in love
I never thought I’d love again after all I’ve been through in the past
I never thought I’d trust someone to accompany me in my life

I was locked up in my pain without feelings
You gave me your hand and you saved me
I was locked up in my sorrow without consolation
You gave me your hand and saved me

I never thought I’d love again after all I’ve been through in the past
I never thought I’d trust someone to accompany me in my life

You gave me your hand and saved my life
You made me breath again
You gave me your hand and saved my life
You saved me
You gave me your hand and saved my life
You gave me your hand and saved me

(Chorus)
Exit always has a way out
I needed someone like you to make me see
I needed someone like you who would make me see
That in life everything is possible
I needed someone like you to make me see
That in reality I wasn’t alone

You showed me I have to look forward
That life goes on and time will cure all pain

I was locked up in my pain without feelings
You gave me your hand and saved me

(2x chorus)
Exit always has a way out
I needed someone like you to make me see

I was locked up in my sorrow without consolation
And you showed me

(2x chorus)

I was locked up in my pain without feelings
You gave me your hand and saved me
I never thought I’d love again after all I’ve been through in the past
I never thought I’d trust someone to accompany me in my life.

Pay Attention

You better pay attention
Know the situation before you make a move
‘Cause tomorrow you’re gonna
Regret your decision
Think before you talk
Before you hurt the one who loves you

Stop and think
Let her tell her side of the story
Don’t listen to what they say
Love is like that love is like that
Understand one another oh no

Don’t let rumors break you apart
Your love is stronger than bad intent
And advise from friends
With a false heard
Behind your back they start to laugh

(Chorus)
Ha ha we’ll separate the 2
Ha ha we’ll separate the 2

Your love is one of a kind
Difficult to find these days
There’s too much jealousy
Stop and pay attention
Choose the right friends
Don’t let someone else
Infiltrate your relationship

Stop and think
Let her tell her side of the story
Don’t listen to what they say
Love is like that love is like that
Understand one another

Don’t let rumors break you apart
Your love is stronger than bad intent
Let love and trust be
The foundation of your relationship
From there you can continue to build

(Chorus)
Ha ha they won’t separate you 2
Ha ha they won’t separate you 2

Let love and trust be
The pillar of your relationship
Let love and trust be
The foundation of your relationship ooh

(Chorus)
Ha ha they won’t separate you 2
Ha ha they won’t separate you 2

Love So Good

Now there’s no easy way to play this,
But I can’t keep you to myself, to my self
So what should I do,
I guess I’ll come right out and say it
I’ve been goin’ crazy since you, since you left
So can you slide through

(Pre-chorus)
And make love to me, like we never slowed up
Arguments and broke up. I just wanna fall back in love again,
Can we put the past behind, and hold each other one more time, one more time,
Cuz’ I don’t know about you, but I’m sure

(Chorus)
I’m sure I can’t live another minute without your good love, your good love
Your love, your love, your love
So good
I‘m cryin’ every second I’m livin’ without your good love, your good love,
Your love, your love, your love so good

Man you’re simply amazing, you’ve got everything this woman needs, what I need,
So don’t you go away,
I know I made mistakes and I’ll do anything to make you see, make you see
That I don’t want to lose you baby

(Pre-chorus)
I will promise you, this time will be better
Come back and I’ll bet ya that we’re gonna fall deep in love again,
If we put the past behind, and hold each other one more time, one more time,
Cuz’ I don’t know about you but I’m sure

(Chorus)

(Dre Robinson Rap)
Listen, everyday I reminisce on how the lovin’ was great
And what brought us together, that was nothin’ but fate.
By your spell I’m hypnotized when I stare in your face
And I hate to see you cryin’, tears on your face.
We got too much invested, years to replace
Throw it away now, that’s considered a waste.
We got decisions to make put the past behind and start thinkin toward the future
Its like a piece of heaven fell, on earth, Angel
In the future I hear wedding bells
And its sooner than later
You know that every good love got room to be greater
But I won’t get ahead of myself
I’m sick without you and I’m just tryin’ to better my health
So say bye now, nah I’m good love, to your good love, I’d rather be tied down.

(Chorus)

Alone

I can’t believe how much you’ve changed
I’m asking you to listen to your heart

Where is the man I fell in love with at first site
That tender man who always treated me so right
We are together but I feel alone

(Chorus)
Alone baby
So close but still so far from you

Hey where are the times we embraced
Without music we danced
Now you don’t even see my presence

Alone alone hey
So close but still so far from me

In hard times it’s so easy to give up
But if your love for me (if your love for me still exists)
I’m asking you (I’m asking you to listen to your heart)
For the love of God let’s save our relationship
Let’s save it yeah

Alone alone
So close but still so far from you

I don’t wanna live in the past with you
Let’s think about our future
Let’s hold on let’s talk
Let’s talk
If your love for me still exists
Baby then I’m asking you
Listen to your heart

In hard times it’s so easy to give up
But if your love for me (if your love for me still exists)
I’m asking you (I’m asking you to listen to your heart)
For the love of God let’s save our relationship
Hold on, don’t give up

If your love for me still exists
I’m asking you to listen to your heart

Our Land

(Chorus)
Our land is love that accompanies us
Our land is our longing that accompanies us

My transparent heart in exposure
Full of love that grows stronger everyday
Calm my heart, pressure is not the solution
Off all the waiting
When we get there, all will compensate

My transparent heart in exposure
Full of love that grows stronger everyday

(Chorus)

Our land is the love and longing that grows stronger everyday

(Chorus)

So much joy in my land, 1 week looks like 1 day
I don’t wanna think about saying farewell
Or to leave my land one’s again

Get The Courage

My heart has called you many times
But the words never left my lips
My thoughts are driving me crazy
They don’t want to leave me alone
This situation is too much for me

(Chorus)
I never had the courage to tell you
I want to be with you
I never had the courage to tell you
I want to spend my life with you
I never had the courage to tell you
Your daily appearance makes my heart so happy

Baby you are my best friend, the one I value most
You always come to me and ask for advise
I don’t wanna ruin this relationship
I don’t want this passion to change our situation

It looks like I’ve known you for eternity
Maybe you feel the same
It looks like eternity
That I struggle with the question
If you want us to be together as well

Ooh ooh
If you’d give me a sign
Ooh ooh
All would be much easier
Ooh ooh
If you’d give me a sign
Ooh ooh
I gotta get the courage

I gotta get the courage
To break this barrier
Of shame
I gotta get the courage
To break this barrier
Of doubt

It looks like I’ve known you for eternity
Maybe you feel the same
It looks like eternity
That I struggle with the question
If you want us to be together as well

Ooh ooh
If you’d give me a sign
Ooh ooh
All would be much easier
Ooh ooh
If you’d give me a sign
Ooh ooh
All would be much easier
Ooh ooh
If you’d give me a sign, if you’d give me a sign

Gone

No need to tell me
She was just a friend to you
She called me and told me
All the things you 2 would do

Don’t call me to ask for forgiveness)
All the things you’ve done shocked and surprised me

(Chorus 2x) I’ll bet you know, you lost a good thing now I’m gone
You shouldn’t have left me alone
I need a man who values me and you weren’t able to

All this time you looked in my eyes
Telling me how much you loved me
Meanwhile you were messing around
Playing games now I see you were so shady

Don’t call me to ask for forgiveness)
All the things you’ve done shocked and surprised me

(2x) I don’t wanna have anything to do with you
I don’t wanna lose my time with you
My tears were the last words I had for you

(Chorus 2x) I’ll bet you know..

Taxi

I’m leaving… Taxi
‘Cause you don’t care about us… Taxi

Taxi in front of the door, waiting to bring me to the station
The train leaves at 6
You had enough time to change my mind
And convince me
You had enough time to change my mind
And convince me to stay

(4x chorus)
Now I’m telling you
Now I’m telling you bye

You had enough time to change my mind
And convince me
You had enough time to change my mind
And convince me to stay

Now I’m telling you bye
I’m leaving ‘cause you don’t care
(3x chorus) Now I’m telling you bye

You don’t need to look for me anymore
You had enough time to convince me to stay

(4x) Taxi in front of the door

(2x) You made time for everyone instead of me
Your priority went to everybody, but not me
My heart… I’m sorry
I didn’t understand all the signs you gave me

Now I’m telling you
Now I’m telling you bye

Man In White

Like an eclipse, suddenly he stood in front of me
He covered all my vision
All dressed in white he looked at me
And I lost all my power

You are a prince to me
Who came out of a story on his white horse
You are a myth to me, full of mysteries,
Let me know your secrets

Man dressed in white take me with you,
Take me to the place I’ve never been

(Chorus)
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you

Your appearance is like an illusion of so many wishes
You are a white rose, your perfume and your beauty
Made my heart fall in love

Take me to your paradise
Let me see all you see, so I see all beautiful things
Take me to a place I’ve never been
On your white horse far away
To a world full of magic

Man dressed in white take me with you,
Take me to the place I’ve never been

(Chorus)
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you
Ya ya yan man dressed in white take me with you

Take me to a place I’ve never been

Distance

You never believed in my love for you
You were always left with doubts on me
You always told me
Babe are you sure
That it’s me you love
For the rest of your life

(Chorus)
Distance never made me give 100% for us
But now I’ll sacrifice and leave it all behind
Distance never made me give 100% for us
But now I’ll sacrifice and leave it all behind

No more farewells
Or a heart full of tears
Pain of distance
Now there’s nothing to separate us

I wanna testify my love for you
I wanna prove I’m for real
My heart keeps on beating strong for you

(Chorus)
Distance never made me give 100% for us
But now I’ll sacrifice and leave it all behind
Distance never made me give 100% for us
But now I’ll sacrifice and leave it all behind

So that you’ll see I’m for real with you
And see I’ll give all for you
There’s nothing better than being with the one you love
You’ll see I’m for real with you
And see I’ll give all for you

You Make My Body Sing

Beautiful brown eyed boy
You make me wanna
Oh you make me wanna

Move a little closer to you
I really wanna
Wanna get to know you

It’s in the way you look at me
Tell me do you like
What you see

I can’t keep my eyes off you
I try to play it cool
But it’s taking over me

(Pre-chorus)
Feels like I’m falling
And there’s nothing I can do
I try to hold on
But I’m slipping
Baby I’m a fool for you

(Chorus)
Oh.. oh.. you make my body sing
Oh.. oh.. please come touch me

I couldn’t help but noticing you’re looking at me
I kinda get the feeling
That you like what you see

If that’s the case girl I gotta let you know
No need to lie about it
The feeling’s mutual

There’s a crazy chemistry with you and me
The boys say I’m hooked on you
They think I’m crazy

I try to play it cool
Baby I’m a fool
I really got this thing for you

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

(4x) You make me wanna

Go

(Chorus) Go.. don’t look back
Take your suitcase, close the door behind you
Go.. all has its limits
I can’t accept your abuse

Now it’s my time to talk
Sit down and stop complaining
All has got to be the way you want it (it can not be)
With your manners, as if I’m not good enough for you (it can not be)

If it’s gotta be like that, you better leave me alone
Sure my life will be much better

(Pre-chorus) Time and time again the same story
It’s your attitude I can’t stand
All I’ve done for you (wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough)
All I’ve given you (wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough)

(Chorus)

You think I can’t live without you, that I’ll spend my whole life suffering
You can write it on paper (I will sign underneath, I will sign underneath)
That I won’t cry for you anymore (I won’t cry anymore, I won’t cry anymore)

I’m taking my liberty
To feel free again

(Pre-chorus) Time and time again the same story
It’s your attitude I can’t stand
All I’ve done for you (wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough)
All I’ve given you (wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough)

2 Steps Back

Yeah, you’ve got a hold on me, baby

In the dark is where you’re keeping me
I can’t find a way to your true feelings
Tell me what I’ve got to is killing me (killing me)

In your heart, tell me do I have a place
Every time I try to get through to you
You just keep on pushing me so far away (far away)

(Pre-chorus)
One step forward, two steps back
You say we’re only friends
Playing those games again
Remember what you told me
The one you call
When you’re feeling lonely

One step forward, two steps back,
I keep on falling
Deeper and deeper and
Deeper in love with you
So tell me what I’m gonna do

(Chorus)
After all the things we’ve been through
I keep on loving you (I keep on loving you)
No matter where I run to
You’ve got a hold on me (you’ve got a hold on me)
All of the times you’ve hurt me
I was too blind to see (I was too blind to see)
Loves makes me run back to you
You’ve got a hold on me (hold on me)

Now I know what I should have known before
You do little things that keep confusing me
And I get the feeling that you’re using me

Yet still, I just can’t leave you alone
Every time I think I wanna run away
Give me just enough to make me wanna stay

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

I should have left you alone
From the very first time that you broke my heart
Time and time again from the very start
Cause ain’t nothing changed, you’re still the same
Deep inside we both know that I just
Cannot let you go

(Chorus)

Hold on me, hold on me, you’ve got a hold on me, hold on me…

Why don’t you open up to me
Your eyes couldn’t hold back your tears
I know sometimes it seems so rough
And there is no one you can trust
Well take my hand
Come and follow me

Baby don’t you cry no more
Let me dry your tears
And make you smile once more

Baby don’t you cry no more
I’ll be your shoulder to lean on
Take my hand
Come and follow me

I know that she has broken your heart
And you feel like your world is torn apart
Some things you don’t need to say
‘Cause it is written on your face
You’ve tried so hard
To wash your pain away

(Chorus)

(3x) Talk to me, talk to me, baby don’t you cry
I’ll be right here, right by your side

Truth And love

Let me dive to the bottom of the ocean
Free of all rules and laws of mankind
Let me climb to the top of a mountain,
Far from all fights and cruelty

Where is the truth
Where is the love

If we observe the world from a distance
Reality leaves us with questions

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Where is the friendship
Why do we always choose the easy way out
And tomorrow we’ll regret our choice
Let’s open the door and let love and truth in

Like the moon
Lights up the planet earth
That’s how our eyes shows us good and bad
Creatures, let’s relieve our conscience
Only then can we make the world a better place

If we observe the world from a distance
Reality leaves us with many questions

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Where is the friendship
Why do we always choose the easy way out
And tomorrow we’ll regret our choice
Let’s open the door and let love and truth in

Today reality is our fear
The way we handle the world
To free our planet
Let’s give a piece of our lives
For the good of our children
Let’s make a world where all creations live in harmony with nature

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Where is the friendship
Why do we always choose the easy way, the easy way out
And tomorrow we’ll regret our choice
Let’s open the door and let love and truth in

Let’s open the door and let love and truth in
Truth and love in

Dilemma

(2x Chorus)
Dilemma my enemy ooh dilemma

If it was a movie
I’d try to illuminate all my images
Cut out all the scenes
That made us face the dilemma
We are now in

(Chorus)
Dilemma my enemy ooh dilemma
Dilemma in my life

If it was a movie baby
I’d try to illuminate all my images
Cut out all the scenes
That made us face the dilemma
We are now in

I’ve tried to look for a solution
For the situation we are now in
But you wanted to rush it all

Trust in love, life is like this
Take it easy, all needs its time

Trust in love, life is like this
Take it easy, everything will be all right

(Chorus)
Dilemma my enemy ooh dilemma
Maybe it’s my perfect friend

Dilemma my enemy ooh dilemma
So mysterious, time will provide a solution

Dilemma my enemy ooh dilemma

I’ve tried to look for a solution
For the situation we are now in
But you wanted to rush it all

Ooh
Ooh my baby
Deep in my heart
I know everything’s gonna be all right

Silence

Silence has entered my life
Since you have left, without saying goodbye
Just like a butterfly you were lost in the wind
My life is marked for eternity
This silence makes me realize that

Everyone has his hour
Everyone has his time
Time to go is a true time

A breeze from far brings me
A cry of desperation
Could it be that this hell has an end
Could it be that we’ll ever get there
Hope chants with force on my chest
But the world one day will turn
So that we can only hear the cry of love

I won’t let your silence escape from me
Before we cry out, let’s listen to the beauty of this silence

Silence came into my life
This silence obliges me to realize that

Everyone has his hour
Everyone has his time
Time to go is a true time

A breeze from far brings me
A cry of desperation
Could it be that this hell has an end
Could it be that we’ll ever get there
Hope chants with force on my chest
But the world one day will turn around
So that we can only hear the cry of love
