Waiting on that time
Feel me if you been waiting on yours

Tired of living day to day like everything is alright
Just waiting on that moment
Waiting on my moment

Whatever...
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo... this song is for anyone... fuck it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo...
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest MC on this - on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension dispensing these sentences
Getting this stress that's been eating me recently off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)...
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
Do not come and speak to me (speak to me)...
I don't know you and no,
I don't owe you a motherfucking thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
If you tick me my tank is on empty (is on empty)...
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm lifting you 10 feet (lifting you 10 feet)... in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (of all you)...
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[Chorus-]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
Sometimes I just feel like my father,
I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense it's constant
And, Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)...
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn)... and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class city
Having this happening (this happening)...
Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way (rap this way)...
But I'm glad 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burning and I have returned
[Chorus-]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name is...
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
That got me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)...
To deal with these cocky Caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black 'cause I talk
With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep asking
The same fucking questions (fucking questions)...
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'Til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
'Cause they driving me crazy (driving me crazy)... I can't take it
I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit, in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole I'm glad
[Chorus-]
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
Verse 1-

I am without my love.
Verse 3-

Now laughing friends deride,

When a lovely flame dies,

Smoke gets in your eyes.

Intro: [A] [D] [A]
It's been some [D] years ago
Since I left from my [A] island
To go to the [E] mainland,
Like the old folks would [A] say; [Asus4] [A]
As I walked up the [D] gangway
And I stood on the [A] starboard
And I gazed on the [E] harbour
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Chorus:
Summer days they were [D] warmer then,
When we laughed with the [A] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [E] fog rolled in
Then they made up the [A] hay; [Asus4] [A]
It's been more than a [D] long, long time
Since I held you and [A] called you mine,
And we waited for the [E] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
To wake in the [D] early morn
To the sound of the [A] old fog horn,
And wait for the [E] men to return
With their boats in the [A] bay; [Asus4] [A]
All these things I don't [D] see no more
When I lived on the [A] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [E] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

Solo:
As long as my [D] heart
Doesn't break from those old [A] memories,
Old lovers and [E] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [A] stay; [Asus4] [A]
I can still hear the [D] ocean roar
Through the hills on the [A] old cape shore,
But there's no fishing [E] boats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

But something to drink and maybe something to smoke
C#m
Let it go until our roads will change,
Singing we found love in a local rave
C#m
No I don't really know what I'm supposed to say,
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray
G#m
I told her my name, I said it's nice to meet you,
Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila
G#m
I already know she's a keeper, just from this one small act of kindness, I'm in
C#m
Deep shit If anybody finds out I'm meant to drive home, but I took all of it down
Not sobering up we sit on the couch
C#m
One thing led to another now she's kissing my mouth
G#m
I need you darling, come on set the tone, if you feel you're falling
G#m
Won't you let me know
C#m
Oh oh oh
C#m
Oh oh oh
G#m
If you love me come on get involved,
G#m
feel it rushing through you from your head to toe
C#m
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
G#m
Sing! Oh oh oh oh oh
C#m C#m
Louder! Oh oh oh oh Sing oh oh oh
G#m
Can you feel it, all the guys in here don't even want to dance
G#m
Can you feel it, all that I can hear is music from the back
C#m
Can you feel it, I found you hiding here so wont you take my hand
C#m
Darling, before the beat kicks in again
G#m
Can you feel it
G#m
Ooh oh oh
C#m
Can you feel it
C#m
Oh oh no
G#m
I need you darling, come on set the tone, if you feel you're falling

Won't you let me know

A A A A
A
I was getting kinda tired
A
Of her endless chatter
A
Nothing I could say
A
Ever seemed to matter
D
So I took a little drive
D
Just to clear my head
A A
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
E
It looked like a place
E
To find some satisfaction
A [play first note only; then Rest]
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
A
I paid the man at the door
A
And pushed my way to the bar
A
Shouted for a drink
A
Over a screaming guitar
D
A drunk on a stool
D
Tried to mess with my head
A
But I didn't even listen
A
To a word he said
E
I knew somewhere
E
Amid all this distraction
A [repeat of first note...]
Was a little less talk
And a lot more action
[Chorus]
D
A little less talk
D
If you please
A
A lot more loving
A
Is what I need
E
Let's get on down
E
To the main attraction
A [first note...]
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
A
Well she was fighting them off
A
At a corner table
A
She had a longneck bottle
A
She was peeling the label
D
The look on her face
D
It was perfectly clear
A
She said somebody please
A
Get me out of here
E
The look she shot me
E
Through the glass refraction
A [first note...]
Said a little less talk
And a lot more action
I'll Never Say I Never Loved You
Chorus-
F C Em Am 2X
We had a good love at a good time
But we were too young to know better
The way that we made love, baby made me cry
Thinking that I'd have you forever
C Am Dm G
And tho I've moved on and you have too
Theres still one thing that I won't do
I'll never say I never loved you
C Am F G
Cause I remember getting scared about getting hurt Cause tour was ending
I didn't want to break your heart but couldn't take another ending
I told you it was over but you came right back and told me no
I wont go
Pre Chorus-
Am Em F G
We'd make it through the good and bad
We have a love the kind that lasts
A love that nobody else has ever had
And baby your my better half
C Am F G
We planned to stay together wait four years before we married
but the date kept moving closer every day and every time we spoke
until i came to visit and you sat my on the wing of the plane.
and you gave me your ring
Bridge
| Am C | G Em | F | F Dm |
And you can try to lie, to hide the feelings now that you found someone else
But you know, as I know, real love is what we felt
not surprised, to find, you're fine, I'm doing much better myself
And I hope that we both live up to the cards we were dealt
Am G F
Am F
As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love you first
C G
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
Cause, we couldn't be alone
See your mama knew I was something else, she knew how I felt
Back then we were in school; and that's your favourite excuse
Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/r/ray-j/367144.html ]
Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in
If so then searchin' I'll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you'll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don't tell me what I'm feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn't be alone because without you I'm sick
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
I don't even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time

[Verse 1]
C Am F G7
Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart

Cause I am so afraid, that we will have to part

Each night I ask the stars up above

Why must I be a teenager in love?
[Verse 2]

One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad
C Am F G7
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad
C Am F G7
Each night I ask the stars up above
C(Break)
Why must i be a teenager in love?
[Chorus]
F G7 F G7
I cried a tear for nobody but you
F G7 F G7
I'll be a lonely one if you should say were through
[Verse 3]
C Am F G7
Well if you want to make me cry, that won't be hard to do
C Am F G7
And if you should say goodbye, I still go on loving you
C Am F G7
Each night I ask the stars up above
C(Break)
Why must I be a teenager in love,

Verse 1: G | C | Em D | G (2nd time: C)
And this girl is unlike any girl
She makes you think that all you ever need in life is her
So you give her all you have, just to see her laugh
Make every moment meaningful as if it was your last
Chorus Am | G 3X Fmaj7 /
Because this girl is first, only and always in your heart
She's right beside you even when you're miles apart
And she loves with all she has the way love's supposed to be
And she makes you feel complete
Verse 2: G | C | Em D | G (2nd time: C)
And this girl is unlike any girl
She wispers to you soft, speaking the language of her love
So you look at her in awe, you can't help to feel drawn
You hold her body close to show her she is all you want
Chorus
Bridge: G | C 3X Fmaj7 /
This girl
is very very very very much more than
Anything that you could ever, ever want, more and
She makes everything feel right
Baby, baby I'm so very happy, happy with you
Laying lazy waking in the morning always next to
You make everything feel right

Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run

You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son

F Bb F C F Bb F C
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us
She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one
[Chorus-]
F Bb F C F Bb
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire
Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright
(C) Gm C Csus4 C Csus2 C
So Rosie come out tonight - oh baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for

And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band

And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand

Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a
hand
Dm Am
I'm coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man

Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny

But now you're sad - your mommas mad and your

C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
Because the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming

Singer Songwriter
You're not the first boy to offer the world
I think you're cool but I'm not that kind of girl
If I wanted to sleep my way to the top
I'd a done been there
I'm not just another girl singer songwriter
Playing in a cafe waiting for her big break, no
Any other girl would be lucky you found her
Fall over in love, but I cannot because of who I am
I'm a good girl, at least I'm trying to be
Until some dumb fool brings out the in me
Cause if I wanted to sleep my way to the top
Believe me I'd a done been there
Chorus
You think as a girl I'm used to getting everything that I want
But I worked very hard for every single thing that I'd got
I studied and that's why I'm smart
I pour my love into my art
And no one can take that part of who I am
Chorus
