DRU HILL LYRICS


"All Alone"


[Verse 1 (Woody)]
I'm gonna stay to myself
Where there's no one else around me
I'm gonna stay to myself
So there's no one else to find me
That's what I'm gonna do
My baby love if I can't have you
Maybe I'm better off on my own

[verse 2 (Jazz)]
If I pray to myself
Maybe God above will hear me
And if it is in his will
Then he'll send you right back to me
I'll hold my feelings inside so that you won't see me cry
I hope it's all in my mind cause I'm scared.

[verse 3 (Nokio)]
I'm gonna chill to myself
Leave the stress of a world from inside me
I'm gonna walk all alone
And leave all my troubles behind
That's what a man has to do
In his life just to make it through
I'm gonna chill to myself

[chorus]
(All Alone)
Since you left me baby I've been steady cryin'
(All Alone)
Wonderin' if you ever really truly loved me
(All Alone)
I'll never give my heart again
(Baby I've got to be alone)
Baby can't you see just what is happening to me
(All Alone)
Won't you come along and baby rescue me
(All Alone)
I can't stand being all alone
(And I'll Never)
Be alone again

[bridge]
Another time, Another place, Another love
Maybe it will happen then, but I won't live my life on faith
So I'll keep my tears inside and drift away
Where I'm all alone



[chorus]

"Never Make A Promise"


I don't have to think about it
I've never been in love
I've only dreamed about it
I wondered what it was

But now I think I know it's clear to me
You've made me understand
I'm so proud to say I love you,
And I'm so proud to be your man,
Yes I am.

I promise I'll never hurt you
I'll never make you cry
No

I promise I'll never hit you
Cross my heart and hope to die
I know I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you satisfied
Be your sunshine in the morning
Be your everything at night

[Chorus:]
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what you needed
I told ya that I'd love you, make it good for you and me
I never make a promise that I can't keep, that ain't me

Ain't no way to get around it
No cause now you're stuck with me
Did you know that yo'd be surrounded
By my love and ecstacy
This is the staart of one great love afair
That never, never, never gonna end
We can share the world together
This is where it begins

[Chorus x2]

Girl, I'll stand by you, if you give me your hand
I'll make love to you baby, Your wish is my command
Let play out your fantasies I'll make you u lose your mind
Take you places you ain't never been before,
I promise you in time

[Chorus x2]

If I make a promise to you
Then baby thats what Ill do
I got nothin to loose
Ill give my whole world to you

I never make a promise that I can't keep

I'm a man of my word
And you my moreest concern
Thay you'll never be hurt
It's for better or worst

I never make a promise that I can't keep

[Chorus]

"5 Steps"


I don't know how much longer
You're going to be here
So I say my prayers
Every night
One 4 my mother
One 4 my father
And one 4 the love of my life
So if u decide to leave today
Then leave tomorrow at the door
And take only
Half of yesterday
Forget all hope for the present
Cause it just went away

We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above

Another day is gone
Another night now dawn
Waiting patiently hoping you'll return
But not before long
Why'd you say goodbye
I still feel your presence
In my bed at night
And what was reality once
A love True in form
Has now added pain
For a man scorn
Forced to wear the memories of pain
Around an empty heart
Now I sit in silence and begin to think
As laughter echoes through the air
I can't get you off my mind
But a whole new love
I could never bare
So now I lay
Me down to sleep
And I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And if I die, before I wake
Then I promise I'll be there for you always

We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above 



"Nowhere Without You"


Remember us from "Tell Me"
And sleeping "In My Bed"
We "Never Made A Promise"
And "Five Steps"
"April Shower" me with love
"So Special" to me
There's so much more to Dru Hill
Than what the eye can see

We want you to know we love you
We want you to know we need you
Where would we be without you
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

You feel it in our music
Because of you we do this
We're never gonna lose it
No way, no way, no way, no way 



"Angel"


[Intro:]
Yo, yo, can ya'll hear me out there?
Cool ,cool
Allow me to introduce myself, ladies and gentlemen
See, I go by the name of Big Woody Rock
And I'd just like to take this time right here to just first of all thank you all
For taking the time out to listen to this album
Hope you're enjoying everything you're hearing so far
But right now I just think I need to dedicate this song
This next song coming up, to every man, woman, boy, girl
Who ever and where ever you may be
Who's ever been in a relationship that just didn't quite work out

Also this song is dedicated to everybody who comes up to me in all the clubs
Supermarkets, airports, and every where else in the world
Asking me "Woody when you goin' do something? When they goin' let you sing?"
Not knowing that I sang all of "April Showers"
A verse on "All Alone", a verse on "5 Steps" and 'bout half the songs on the album
But that's cool, ya'll ain't know, but right now I just want you to sit back
Close your eyes, kick your feet up and listen to this song right here
Cuz this here is for y'all
Yo, smiley you ready?
Lets do this

---

Girl, it's been so long
Since I held you in my arms
So I picked up pen and paper
And decided to write you a song

Things just ain't the same
Since you took your love away
All I have is dark and lonely days
Cuz the sun don't shine my way

Wish that I can find the words
To say to show you love is real
The words just can't express the way I feel

[1] - You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together
Why you wanna leave me now
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home and make me whole again

Baby not a day goes by
That I don't want to cry
When I think of what we had
And how you walked out of my life

All I had was yours to take
Till my heart you chose to break
Still wish that I can make love to you
Just one more time for old times sake

If only I could find the words
To say to show you love is real
The words just can't express the way I feel

[Repeat 1]

Come back home
Come back home
Cuz without you here beside me, girl
My house is not a home

Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home
And make me whole again

Cuz you're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We'be been through hell and back together
Why you wanna leave me now
Only you can ease this pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home and make me whole again

You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together
Why you wanna leave me now
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away

You've been gone too long
So won't you come back home 



"I'll Be The One"


I'll be the one
I'll be the one

I heard a rumor there's a vacancy
Somebody said he put you down
Seems he found pleasure in some other girl
Baby, he's dogging you around

So now yhou're looking for a special guy
Someone that you can call your boo
A man that cares about your feelings girl
A man to just be good to you
Well

[1] - I'll be the one making you feel alright
I'll be the one doing the things you like
I'll be the one keeping you up at night
I'll be the lover in your life

I'll be the one you're gonna wanna call, yeah
I'll be the one making you climb the walls
I'll be the one gon' have you beggin' me
I'll be the one, the one you need

You gave him seven years of your life
To think about it akes you cry
Why don't you come with me
I'll make it right
Let's bump that nigga outta your mind
Let's take a ride baby, no special place, yeah
Somewhere where we can be alone, hey
Take off our clothes and let our feelings flow
I wanna groove you all night long
I'll be the one

[Repeat 1]

Here's the thing you should know about me, yeah
Jazz is the man when it comes to ladies
I know what I want
Baby I'm keepin' it real, said real babe
Ain't no him now that you're with me
That's the way that it's gotta be
If you're down, then be down
Don't be playin' around with my heart, oh no
I'll be the one

[Repeat 1]

I'll be the one
I'll be the one 



"Holding You"


Damn
(Check it out)

I can't remember why we fell apart
Or even how the arguments all start
I got this crazy thought running through my head
Mmmm, you keep insisting on convincing me that nothing's changed
And keep on telling me I'm trippin' but it's not a game
Cuz something's different when I'm in it, it don't feel the same
I keep on picturing another nigga been hold-n-you

[1] - I feel somebody's been touch-n-you
In fact I know somebody's been kissin' you
Do you wanna tell me who's been love-n-you , love-n-you

Hold-n-you, I don't know why I been trusting you
Only did what I'm supposed to do
I don't know how I been such a fool for love-n-you

It never really mattered too much to me
I guess I was too blind and I could not see
The message in the words that I heard you say
Hmmm, that you're unhappy and you think you need some time away
These things just happen but I know they don't happen that way
I try and understand because I love you
But I keep on thinking that another nigga been hold-n-you

(Check it out , check it out)

[Jazz]: C'mon, pick up the phone, Shelly
[Shelly]: Hello
[Jazz]: Yeah whatchu doin?
[Shelly]: Sittin here thinking 'bout you boo
[Jazz]: Oh, yeah?

[Shelly]: What?
[Jazz]: And you was at the club straight freaking
[Shelly]: That wasn't me
[Jazz]: What am I suppose to do
Tell me how could you be thinking 'bout me

[Shelly]: Hold up! Where you at?
[Jazz]: Baby won't you tell the truth
[Shelly]: I am
[Jazz]: Cuz I ain't trippin' and I know that nigga been hold-n-you

[Repeat 1]

Why, why, why, tell me why, why
Whoa why, why, why, why, why

Whoa, I was your fool, yes I was
Yes I was, yeah, oh

No more baby
Oh, yeah
(Check it out, check it out) 



"These Are The Times"


[Jazz:]
God knows that you're a sexy thang
It's taking everything in me
Not to kiss you over under
Feel your inside feel my thunder
How the hell could I not want you

[Sisqo:]
Girl you don't have to be a thang
I'll wait for you, You wait for me (baby)
Cuz true love's insisting
We don't have to rush at all (baby yeah)

[Chorus:]
These are the times we all wish for
The moment when less means so much more
We don't have to do a thing at all
We can take our time and talk
And this is the way things need to be
No pressure from you and none from me
Just let the mood set the moment off
We can make love or not at all

[Sisqo:]
Been thinking bout you all the time
Morning noon and supper time
Tear you up in little pieces
Swallow you like reeses pieces
Come on girl you know I need it

[Jazz:]
(I know) It aint suppose to be a thing
[Sisqo:]
(I know) I'll wait for you, you wait for me
[Jazz:]
(And I know) Cuz true love's insisting we don't have to rush at at all

[Repeat Chorus]

[Sisqo:]
I don't make promises
Cuz I know my heart gets weak
When I get around you girl
It makes them hard to keep
Cuz you bring out the best
Make me the man
God knows I'm proud to be (Baby yeah)



"You Are Everything"


[Intro:]
Can I play for you baby
Hey yo Woody, help me out, yeah
Hey yo Jazz, you chill for a minute, ya know?
Uh uh uh yeah
You like that?
Gonna sing you a song
Listen

Last night we had an argument
Afterwards, I'm feelin' pretty bent
Then I took a drink and I didn't think
What was in store for me
So I wrote a letter
Dropped it on the bedroom floor
I never felt this way before, no
I grabbed my coat and closed the door baby, I'm sorry

Baby I'm sorry (Oh yeah)
Sorry for what I've done (Will you forgive me)
Will you forgive me and let me be your only one
Cuz you are

[1] - You are everything
And I would give you anything
Sorry for what I've done
I wanna be your only one

Girl I apologize for all your tears
When you cried, sorry for what I've done
I wanna be your only one

[Sing it Jazz]
Girl I apologize for all the tears
And all the lies
And if by chance just one more chance
I swear I'll be the epitome of a good man

Baby I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Sorry for what I've done (Baby)
Will you forgive me (Hey, yeah)
And let me be your only one
Cuz yo are

[Repeat 1]

oh, oh, oh, come on
You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
Yo yo everything I do

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
Girl, you're everything I do

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
Girl, you're everything I do
Everything I do

[Repeat 1]

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you

"If I Could"


[Verse 1:]
I can't believe, You were the girl
No one ever wanted to be with kiss,hold,or do a thang
Real thin so shy really not my type no
There was no future for us girl honestly
It's been a while I ask myself how could this be
This girl is hot she's looking so damn good to me
Tried to approach her but her feelings they have changed
She's not checkin for me

[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could

[Verse 2:]
What do I do for you to even notice me
See me tryin to hard to win your heart
Did I hurt you all that bad?
Been two years and you're still mad Shawty tell me
Never did I feel this way before
So many dimes I've been through never thought that cupid had a bow for me
Til the day you passed my mama's door
I didn't really mean to hurt you baby
So won't you please come back?

[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could

[Bridge:]
You got me in a state of disbelief
I didn't know you were working with something
Saw your boy been frontin (no)

[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could



"She Said"
(feat. Chinky)


[Intro]
I tried to be the man you wanted baby
But I guess it wasn't good enough
Now I'm sitting here all alone
Wondering what the deal is

[Verse 1]
She don't really wanna talk to me
Cause she said that our love is done
She don't even wanna look my way
Cause she said that I'm not the one
All she wanted was a faithful man
Who would tell her just what he felt
Now she's fell out in another man
So I'm left here all by myself

[Chorus]
She said that she would comfort you
Through anything
Where did she go?
She said that she would be right here
Never ever leave
Where did she go?

[Verse 2]
I guess I'm gonna have to tell myself
There'll be better days ahead
And all I have to do is think about
All I had before she left
She don't really wanna live alone
But she will if it brings me pain
And don't I wanna have to sacrifice my soul
Just to keep love the same

[Chorus]

(Like yesterday)
Like yesterday
She's gone away
Oooh (can't believe it)
My life ain't the same (no, no, no)
Oooh

[Chorus]



"My Angel / How Could You"


[Spoken]
This is dedicated to my real angel Ms. Joan I Milburn Green love you mommy

You taught me everything
In life I’d need
Sometimes I felt you were
My everything
And if it were all left up to me
You’d be right beside me
But you’re gone
Although I know
You’re in a better place
So selfishly
I wish you could’ve stayed
How I long to hear you call my name
Lord give me the strength to carry on
And on
If you talk to my angel’
The one who carried me and gave me life
Could you tell her that I love her
And I can’t wait to see her on the other side
Wooh [4x’s]
Do Do Do Do Do
Rest in peace mommy
I love you
