1. I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.

Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize.

Don't patronize me.

'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
But you won't
No, you won't
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.

Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.

And I will give up this fight

'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
But you won't
No, you won't
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

2. RIGHT PLACE WRONG TIME

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for.

I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time.

Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here.

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for.


3. GOOD MAN, GOOD WOMAN

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Midnight, I'm wound up tight
Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I been lyin' low from work, hangin over from the hurt from You babe
But I'm gonna suffer through the strain, till I get a Better thing with you
Darlin, me and you.

So hard to see so far ahead
When I can't seem to drag myself out of bed
Gotta find me a good man, a good man, good man. Yeah.

You better stop, think about what you're saying
I was seriously dedicated, in the game of playin'
You made ten thousand promises you couldn't keep
I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped
Put up with your disrespect and neglect
What an experience, I'll never forget.

Till now, everything I did was wrong (i'm sorry, baby)
Today you're free, but we live alone.
Gotta find me a good woman...Good woman...Good woman...Yeah.

It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam, and then the shower
When I got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell, from the water you left on.

Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a goodwoman
Gotta find a good man.


4. CRY ON MY SHOULDER

I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to tell someone
That's what I'm here for.

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love.

Out in the world outside
It can be harsh and cold
But if you need someone
I will be here to hold you.

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love.

I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to let it go
Then you can call on me.

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
My love.

2. COME TO ME

All I ever wanted
Was a love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through.

I don't need another well spent night
Another clever, sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothin' left to chance.

So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me.

I'm gonna hold out for the one I want
Ain't gonna settle for less
Cause the kind of love I'm lookin' for, baby
You can't fake, you can't finesse.

I ain't lookin' for the kind of man, baby
Can't stand a little shaky ground
He'll give me fire and tenderness
And got the guts to stick around

So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me..
