I Want A Man 01:33
I want a back rub, foot rub, breakfast in bed I want a good set of shoulders where I'll lay my head I want two strong arms that will hold me tight I want a lover who is always gonna treat me right Chorus: I want a man, man, I want a man Don't want a boy, child, baby, better understand I want him taking care of business Does the best he can I want a done with playin, shit together, grown ass man I want a man who loves his mama, but don't live in her house I want him done with all the drama, got it figured out I want a man who's never lazy and who's never, ever mean And, if it's possible, I'd love it if he'd cook and clean

You may never find a job you like You may never find anyone to hold you tight But if you hide yourself away, out of sight You can guarantee you'll never get it right Life is never gonna wait for you to see Each and every opportunity You're just gonna have to set yourself free Chorus: (You'll never know) No, you'll never know (If you don't go) If you never, ever go (Open up your mind) Gotta open up your eyes (See what you find) Maybe never, maybe tonight You may never be a millionaire You may never find any flowers in your hair Believin it will never happen will never get you there Believe that no one will ever love you, and no one will care Life is never gonna wait for you to see Each and every opportunity You're just gonna have to set yourself free

Darlin, just go ahead Take the butterflies and the roses so red Take all the quiet times we had in my bed Just please, darlin, get out of my head Take the sunshine and happier days Take this lump in my throat, just take it away Don't forget to take the sweet things you said Take back it all, just get out of my head Take each memory, each smile we shared Take every time that you told me you cared Take this feeling that i've been misled May as well take my heart, just get out of my head Darlin, we had it good for so long It's really too bad that we should say so long Because how many times Are you gonna find A love quite like mine But now darlin, just go ahead Take the roses that used to be red Take the things i remember you said Now it's time to forget so get out of my head

Take Me 03:34
Take me, fill me up Wring me out, baby Show me something new There is only you You know your love Is all that I'm thinking of Take me somewhere else Let's go lose ourselves Take me, use me up Spit me out, baby You know your kiss Is all I want on my lips Baby, you're the one for me You know what is good for me You make me see Just how good love can be Love me as I am My heart is in your hands Take me halfway there Bring me back, tease me You know your love Is all that I'm thinking of Baby, you're the one for me You know what is good for me You make me see Just how good love can be

Boy Oh Boy 05:13
Boy, now I'm gone, you're feelin sorry for youself But when you had me, you just wanted someone else You act so childish, I have half a mind to say I wouldn't be shocked to find that Beard upon your face was fake Chorus: Boy oh boy Don't make a fool out of me Oh, you best believe That you'll be sorry Don't test me baby Some men think all the world was laid out just for them Each one believing all the girls, they yearn for him Well, please excuse me, but I have to say, I feel compelled To tell all of those men that all the girls think they can go to hell Chorus Sometimes everybody needs an understanding mind Somebody to be patient and to listen and be kind But you have taken every bit of patience I possess So, now I'm gonna take my patience back and go find someone else Chorus
