You better get busy with living or you're busy dying
Do just what you wanna do

I Belong To YouWritten by Lenny KravitzYou are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star
You lift me from up above
Your unconditional love takes me to paradise
I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mind are entwined
Before you I was blind
But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind
I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday
So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way
I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

If You Can't Say NoWritten by Lenny KravitzIf You Can't Say NoPeople get around
This is a part for you
If you come undone
Then this is what you do
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
I know that you are in love with me
But I also know your kind
Baby you got a lot of nerve
So just try to keep me in mind
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
I know that you are in love with me
You went with another man
And I cried when I read your letter
But I don't really want to know
Where you've gone
Or if it was better
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
I know that you are in love with me
Thinking Of YouWritten by Lenny Kravitz / Lysa TrenierTell me mama is your life a better change?
And tell me mama
Would you live your life the same or come back
And rearrange?
Tell me mama how is freedom?
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I'm trying now
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama
Are the colors deeper shades?
And tell me mama are there great big brass parades?
Does the sun shine night and day?
Tell me mama no more sleeping
Tell me mama no more weeping
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I'm trying now
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama is it just the way they say?
And tell me mama are you missing me the way
That I'm missing you today?
Tell me mama can you hear me?
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I'm trying now
Oh I'm thinking of you
Take TimeWritten by Lenny KravitzYou can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready? On your mark begin
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Do you feel your life's a big mistake?Don't you hate the way it's all so fake?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel
All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we're buying one in every sizeCan't you see it in the children's eyes?It's about to get wild
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Fly AwayWritten by Lenny KravitzI wish that I could fly into the sky so very high
Just like a dragonflyI'd fly above the trees over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeahLet's go and see the stars
The Milky Way or even MarsWhere it could just be oursLet's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeahIt's Your LifeWritten by Lenny KravitzThey say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they're wrong I want you so badWe've been together for so long
How could they think we don't belong?
But they'll never know what you and I have
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on
All I want to do is take it all the way with youIt's your life, it's your life
They say that we don't have a chanceWe're victims of unjust romance
But they couldn't see the truth in their hands
We don't have to live like they doWe'll run away if we have to
And we'll start a life that's shining and new
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Straight Cold PlayerWritten by Lenny KravitzI'm a straight cold player!
Little Girl's EyesWritten by Lenny KravitzAll I have and all I do
Cannot compare to the love of you
You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl's eyesYou're my star and when I'm farYou're not alone cause your heart's my home
You are my biggest prize
So beautiful and so wise
All I want to do when I come into the room is see her smile
When I look in my little girl's eyes
You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl's eyesYou're My FlavorWritten by Lenny KravitzThe way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When you're not around me
You know it just don't feel the same
And I've waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you'Cause you're my flavor of loveYou're my flavor I'm dreaming ofYou're my flavor of loveYou're my flavor I'm dreaming of
The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain
And now I'm a junkieI'm running around without a brain
I got this jones deep inside me
And you are what I wanna do
You give me this feeling
You always make me feel brand new'Cause you're my flavor of loveYou're my flavor I'm dreaming ofYou're my flavor of loveYou're my flavor I'm dreaming of
Can We Find A ReasonWritten by Lenny KravitzIs there anyone out there willing to try?
Or we satisfied with just getting by?We've hurt mother nature can't you see her she's cryingWe've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?We're fighting more battles everyday we're alive
We should be rejoicing but instead we cry
This world's so polluted you would think we were blind
We poison our children before they're defined
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
Excuse me for saying 'cause I've never been shy
But if we don't stop this we sho'nuff goin' die
Yes I hope we can make it 'cause this river's run dry
Now our only battle will be to survive
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?It's the New MillenniumWithout YouWritten by Lenny KravitzThe sun is shining
But I don't feel the rays
The boats are sailing
But I don't want to play
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I live life in luxury
But I believe it's a crime
When you can't enjoy it
And all the time cry
Or maybe some kind of spell'Cause it feels like a curse
When there's so much water
But all the time thirst
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on death row'Cause you are not there
I need a pardon
I can't stand the pain
What I'd do for your love now,
If there's love to regain
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
