Hands Tied Lyrics – Toni Braxton

Listen
You askin me if I
Know what real love feels like
If I ever let anyone inside,
It can't be serious (serious)
Cause I was the one giving all I had
I kept my promises all intact
For better or worse I honored that
I could show you all about love

Baby I can love you, love you, love you with my hands tied
I can please you, please you, please you with my hands tied
Everything you need is right here
It's just staring you in your face
Stop asking me if I'm ready
Cause this is just what I'll say
Cause I could love you, love you, love you
With my hands tied, my hands tied, my hands tied (hands tied)

Don't ever question my love
I love hard despite the
heartbreaks, being left out
you see I've been around, been around
I was the one trying to patch it up
Now I watch it and say I've had enough
All of the best you're thinking of
I could show you all about love

Baby I can love you, love you, love you with my hands tied
I can please you, please you, please you with my hands tied
Everything you need is right here
It's just staring you in your face
Stop asking me if I'm ready
Cause this is just what I'll say
Cause I could love you, love you, love you
With my hands tied, with my hands tied, with my hands tied (hands tied)

Now I don't need my hands to feel the things I feel inside
Cause I know what's inside my heart is right
They don't have to hold you like that
They don't have to touch you like that
Cause you know the truth is that
I can love you with one hand tied behind my back

(hands tied, hands tied, hands tied...)
I can love you, baby...

Baby I can love you, love you, love you with my hands tied
I can please you, please you, please you with my hands tied
Everything you need is right here
It's just staring you in your face
Stop asking me if I'm ready
Cause this is just what I'll say
Cause I can love you, love you, love you (with my hands tied)
Cause I can love you, love you, love you
With my hands tied, hands tied, with my hands tied (hands tied)

Woman Lyrics – Toni Braxton

I worked late but you didn't wait up
My bones ache, I'm cleaning the place up
Sometimes I don't even know why I care

I sit down take off my make-up
I lay down but you don't wake up
Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there

I can't remember the last time you
Told me I'm beautiful, and I can't remember
Last time you said anything at all

I'm a woman
A woman with a heart
And I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman
And I need to be touched
And I need to be loved
'cause being just your woman is not enough

Now I hope that you don't wake up
When it's too late to make up
You'll be the one that's alone and that's sad

In time you'll find somebody
The truth is she'll never be me
And that's when you're going to miss what we had

When all I really needed to hear was "you're beautiful"
All I really needed to hear was anything at all

I'm a woman
A woman with a heart
And I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman
And I need to be touched
And I need to be loved
'cause being just your woman is not enough

I'm not your friend who only needs you sometimes
And if I'm your lady
You got to treat me like...

I'm a woman
A woman with a heart
And I deserve your all
I'm not some girl who don't know what she wants
I'm a woman
And I need to be touched
And I need to be loved
'cause being just your woman is not enough

A woman needs your heart
A woman needs your all
A woman needs your everything
I'm a woman
And I need to be touched
And I need to be loved
And I deserve your everything
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman

If I Have To Wait Lyrics – Toni Braxton

You've been hurting a long time,
the kind of pain I know too well.
It's been pulling you under,
like some kind of evil spell.
I'm gonna hold, I'm gonna hold you,
till the ghosts are disappeared.
I'm not going anywhere, I'm gonna stay right here.

[Chorus:]
If I have to wait for you, I'll hang on the line.
If I had to just make due, I'll do it 'til the end of time.
If I have to feel this way, to know that you will be mine, all mine.
Thats the choice I make.
Thats the risk I'll take.
If I have to wait, for you.

Your tears are my tears,
and I'm crying them too.
'Cause I can't, No I can't,
I just can't find a way to get through to you.
I know you really love me, but there is a part of you still missing.
You've given me all that you can, but I want everything, everything, everything.

[Chorus]

I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.

If I have to wait for you, I will hold on the line.
If I have to just make due, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it baby.

[Chorus]

Lookin' At Me Lyrics – Toni Braxton

You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me
You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me

My dress so short it's border line killa
I don't wanna hurt you
I'm whole a lot of thrilla
Looking at me say something
Have we met somewhere before
Playing these games I'm not about to do it
Cause I can have him and you
You knew it

And I'm all way to the end

And when you see me in a dress and good shoes
People looking at a moody lipsa
Cause I'm tired of waiting I'm fading all I'm saying is

You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me (I think it's time you be about it)
You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me (You wants to come and see about it)

All on me but I'ma let you see our little tricks in the bag
You wanna stare in my eyes get some time
You about to lose it on waiting all night
Grown woman I'm good
Be a man come and catch me like you should

Cause when you see me in a dress and good shoes
People looking at a moody lipsa
Cause I'm tired of waiting I'm fading all I'm saying is

You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me (I think it's time you be about it)
You got me looking at you and now you're looking at me (You wants to come and see about it)

Hero Lyrics – Toni Braxton

you’re the only one who made it through the fire, burning fire
you’re the only one who walked the water and made it to the other side
you’re the one who took away the feelin of falling
only one who see’s the sun
you know i’m calling
you’re the one who took me by the hand
showed me how to fly

and i feel so safe that i’m up in your arms
nothing can touch when i’m right where you are
you busted through the doors
you came up through the floor
just in the nick of time to safe me

ahhh, my heart never had a hero
ohhh, ohh
ahhh, my heart never had a hero
ohhh, ohh
when there was no one else
you saved me from myself
almost gave up on myself
til you rescued me
ahhh, my heart never had a hero
a hero, a hero

(never had a hero, a hero)

faster the speed of light
you come around, and kill my lonely
better then the average man
you beat the odds, you so incredible

ohhh, you are
never met someone so strong
never breaks down
never thought that i belong until you came around
nothing in this world is like the feeling
like it when you hold, hold me, hold me

and i feel so safe that i’m up in your arms
nothing can touch when i’m right where you are
you busted through the doors
you came up through the floor
just in the nick of time to safe me

ahhh, my heart never had a hero
ohhh , ohh
ahhh, my heart never had a hero
ohhh, ohh
when there was no one else
you saved me from myself
almost gave up on myself
til you rescued me
ahhh, my heart heart never had a hero
a hero [x7]

No Way Lyrics – Toni Braxton

Will you please let down your wall so
I can finally come on in and see I
Not like all the other girls that
You have been messing with, see I

Wan to give you everything
Will you please except my heart?
I won't let anything, tare this love apart

I said, no way, no how, not me, not now
I'm gonna prove my love is true
Breaking your heart is something I won't do

No way, no how, not me, not now
I'm gonna prove my love is true
Breaking your heart is something I won't do

Will you please let down you walls
'Cause they are way too high to climb
Boy, I know your feet must hurt, baby
'Cause you've been running through my mind

You should let me love you
Baby, I will never let you down
As long as you want me, I will be around

I said, no way, no how, not me, not now
I'm gonna prove my love is true
Breaking your heart is something I won't do

No way, no how, not me, not now

And as long I'm breathing nothing's gonna tear us apart
I love you and I need you, nothing's gonna change my mind
Oh, no way, no way, baby, oh

I'm gonna prove my love is true
Breaking your heart is something I won't do

No way, no how, not me, not now
I'm gonna prove my love is true
Breaking your heart is something I won't do
No way, said no way, I said no way

Pulse Lyrics – Toni Braxton

They say that from the looks of it
That you and I probably won't make it
(When I hold your hand)
I know that somewhere
(Deep inside of us)
The love is still there
So they can say what they want to
But I'm not givin' up on love
That's why I'm feeling for a pulse

Because I can feel his breathing
Feel his heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm feelin' for a pulse
Because I can feel his breathing
Feel my heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Revive and revive and revive

They're shaking there heads and sayin' that
It's no use, ooh
That we've tried everything
And there's nothing more that we would do
(We have broke in your eyes)
That's when I know
(That we'll be last ones)
A ray of hope
So they can say what they want to
But I'm not givin' up on love
So that's why I'm feeling for a pulse

I can feel his breathing
Feel my heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm feelin' for a pulse
I can feel his breathing
Feel my heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Revive and revive and revive, ohh

There's a lot of pain
But we can do it baby
We've been goin', lost a lot of love along the way
Don't care what they say
It's not over babe
Imma do whatever it takes
And I'll never give up
So that's why I'm feeling for a pulse

I can feel his breathing
Feel my heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm feelin' for a pulse
I can feel his breathing
Feel my heart beating
Seems a little weak here
But I know that we can come back to life
Oh help me baby, oh oh ohh
Yay yea, ohhh yea

Ohh yeaa

Why Won't You Love Me Lyrics – Toni Braxton

Hold up, wait a minute, can you tell me, promise you'll be honest
And you'll tell me everything that you feel
I just wanna know the truth even if it hurts me boo
Tell me now if you can, I just wanna understand

Tell me why
(Why, why)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?

Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?
Heart is crying, I need to be loved

Hold up wait a minute, can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and you'll tell me everything, keep it real
Is it the way I wear my hair, just tell me the truth, boy
I don't care, look at me as I am, I just don't understand

I'm gonna love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved

Yesterday (Remix) Lyrics – Toni Braxton (feat. Trey Songz)

[Toni’s Verse]
Gave you the benefit of the doubt
Til you showed me what you were about
Your true colors came out, ooohhh

And your words couldn’t hide the scent
Cuz the truth about where you’ve been
Is in a fragrance I cant recognize

Standing there
Scratching your head
Blood shot eyes, drunk with regret
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge

Im done with this
Feeling like an idiot
Loving you, Im over it
I just don’t love you, don’t love you no more

[Chorus]
You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you’d lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay
Say, you, you are so yesterday
I wont let you rain on my parade
Don’t wanna hear a thing you say
So Yesterday

[Trey’s Verse]
Baby whatchu saying to me is
Theres no more you and I
Couldn’t get it right on yesterday
So kiss our tomorrows goodbye

Baby love should’ve brought me home
Should’ve just been a man about it
But now im crying like a baby
Girl your love is like my blanket
Don’t know what to do without it

Standing here, pleading my case
But you don’t care to hear what I say
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge, oh no babe
My promises don’t mean nothing
The end is so disgusting
I just don’t love you, don’t love you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you’d lose my love this way (I never thought)
Now you come begging me to stay
Say, you, you are so yesterday
I wont let you rain on my parade
Don’t wanna hear a thing you say
So Yesterday

And now you wanna reminisce (now I wanna reminisce)
Say you wanna try again (said I wanna try again)
Started with a little kiss (a kiss, a kiss)
We cant even regret (no no)
Now I never wanna see you, never wanna feel you
Never wanna hear you
I don’t love you, don’t need you, cant stand you
No more…

[CHORUS]

So yesterday
So yesterday
So yesterday

"Libra" (2005)




Trippin' (That's The Way Love Works) Lyrics – Toni Braxton

Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things were all good
And two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin a fit
And she is sittin there crying
We tear it up
To patch it up
Break up
To make up
The show goes round and round
And that how we get down
We go back and forth
And anyone who goes through this should know
That what i am saying is for real
Real love is meant this way

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
And we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin', and rumblin' and arguing
Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
I say where the hell you going
And you say I'm getting up out of here
And I say you ain't going no where
Then I follow you down the stairs,
Get in front of you and then I scream
Times like this I know you're
Still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And ooooh yeah
When I feel like going off
I brush my shoulders off
And you know...

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
And we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

You wont believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody
(need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody
(love somebody)
Ooohooh

Sometime we say the craziest things!

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
And we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

What's Good Lyrics – Toni Braxton

Can I share something with you ladies
(Whats that)
I've been all wrong about my baby
(Well alright)
That ain't meant for you to get me wrong I ain't no stranger love
But this is diffrent (I can't put my finger on it)
But its diffrent (And ooh I really want)
Cause I really need a swagger
Forgive me if I brag
It's like a house I never left Like a fever I want to catch
Like a mountain that's worth the climb I'm talking about this man of mine
It's like money I wanna to spend
My homie lover friend
He'll be with me to the end
And he never fell me yet

So I give him
Good loving in the morning (I got that)
And late in the evening (Umm I got that)
And I hold him tight
And I let him know
Daddy everything is alright
Now what's good (I got all the love that he needs)
What's good (Coming with it just the way he need it now)
What's good (Off top you know it won't stop)
He can get all of my love
Now the thing that I love the most (What's that)
Is that he gets what I love the most (Well alright)
Understanding all of my moods
Knowing just what to say and do
And yes I am the best
And the rest he'll never miss
And yes he's dressed in finest
What's next is to love, honor, protect
What's next is just a cause and effect of being so blessed
Its like a house I never left (Never left)
Like a fever I want to catch (Wanna Catch)
Like a mountain that's worth the climb (Worth the climb)
I'm talking about this man of mine
It's like money I wanna spend
My homie lover friend
He'll be with me to the end
And he never fell me yet
So I give him
Good loving in the moring (I got that)
And late in the evening (Umm I got that)
And I hold him tight
And I let him know
Daddy everything is alright
Now what's good (I got all the love that he needs)
What's good (Coming with it just the way he need it now)

No boy I got that
Now what's good

Good loving in the moring (I got that)
And late in the evening (Ooh I got that)
And I hold him tight
And I let him know
Daddy everything will be alright
Now what's good (I got all the love that he needs)
What's good (Coming with it just the way he need it now)
What's good (Off top you know it won't stop)
He can get all of my love
