Back At One

Brian Mcknight( 布萊恩麥肯奈特 ) Back At One歌詞
1.Last Dance

Do we know more than we knew then
Or do we know less and we just pretend
Should I ignore my heart and walk away
Your eyes tell me more than words will ever say
Chorus:
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance

How can I be wrong when I feel the way I feel
How can I deny emotion that's so real
In the middle of the night I call out your name
Do I ever cross you mind do, do you feel the same

Chorus:
Like we should take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance

Let me go
Come to me
Which way is the way that it should be
This is so bitter sweet
There's no that way we will ever know for sure

Chorus:
Unless we take a chance and dance the last dance
We should spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance

Repeat Chorus out


2.Stay

It's been too long
Since last I saw your face
You been keepin' it tight
And everything appears to be in it's proper place
We laughed about back in '94
Reminiscin', I'm hoping for a little old times sake
Can you stay, can you stay
Chorus:
Do you, want me
Anything like I want you
Your body's callin'
Tell me you can hear it too
I'm still crazy for you
What are we gonna do
Can you stay, stay

The night is young
And a familiar mood fills the air
I pour the wine
And run my fingers through your hair
The mojos workin', can you feel it
It's almost time to reveal it
Let's fly away
What do ya say

Chorus

Don't you worry 'bout a thing girl
Everything's alright, it's alright
See the smile upon my face
'Cause we're together, together
Let's forget about the past
That was yesterday, yesterday
But today is today
Stay

Chorus out


3.Played Yourself

All you do is tell me lies
Can't you see I'm not surprised
That you think that I'm a fool
Hey
'Cause you think that no one sees
And you think you're playin' me
I just think that you're confused
You're playin' you baby
Chorus:
You didn't think that I would catch you
You didn't know how I knew
You didn't think your girl would tell on you
You played yourself that way You didn't think that I would catch
you
You didn't know how I knew
You didn't think your girl would tell on you
You played yourself that way

She was your best friend in your eyes
But she told me the flip side
Guess she wanted in my life
If you would've seen her plan
You would've known I was the man
That she desired to have
You were too blind to see

I waited
Long enough for you to throw your cards
You played it
But playin' didn't get you very far

Chorus out


4.Back At One

It's undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know, if you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
Chorus:
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one

So incredible, the way things work themselves out
And all emotional once you know what it's all about
And undesirable for us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart

Chorus

Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the lifeline just in the nick of time

Chorus


5.Stay Or Let It Go

It's not my fault that you made yourself
A regretful past
But all I know is it makes me look bad
When I'm holding your hands and you see
Old friends you knew
And they walk away laughing calling me a fool
Now baby I can't change the things you did before we met
Even though I didn't know you
But it's hard for me to trust you even though girl I love you
So tell me what am I to do

Chorus:
Don't know if we will last
And if we do last can I erase the past
Girl can you tell me I don't know
Should I stay or let it go
Don't know if we're meant to be
And if we should be can you live faithfully
Girl can you tell me I don't know
Should I stay or let it go

I think of the night that I made reservations just for two
But you gave your attention to someone across the room
I should of known right then that things just weren't right
But I couldn't see it 'cause love had me so blind

Now tell me how can I be so secure in loving you
When everybody's calling me a fool
I can't keep holdin' on to broken promises from you
I can't take no more from you

Chorus

Baby time and time again I tried to overlook the pain
Couldn't think of losing all we had to gain
Girl if it takes me losing you for happiness in me
I think that I might just have to let you go
Don't know

Chorus out


6.6,8,12

Do you ever think about me
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep
In the middle of the night when you awake
Are you calling out for me
Do you ever reminisce
I can't believe I'm acting like this
I know it's crazy
How I can still feel your kiss
Chorus:
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went
away
I miss you so much
And I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better
But it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went
away

Do you ever ask about me
Do your friends still tell you what to do
Everytime the phone rings
Do you wish it was me callin' you
Do you still feel the same
Or has time put out the flame
I miss you
Is everything ok

Chorus

It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye
Tell me why, tell me why

Chorus out


7.You Could Be The One

Did you say you had to leave
(Can you stay the night with me)
Is that the way it has to be
How I hate to see you go
But it's ok because I know
Chrous:
You could be the one
I waited for
You could be the one
That opens up the door
You could be the one
I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one
To share my nights
You could be the one
That brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

Everynight I wish upon a star
(Only wanna be with you)
Just wanna be everewhere you are
My body's callin' out your name
Girl tell me that you feel the same

Chorus

I waited like forever
Thought I'd find you never
I just might be done
Think I found the one

Chorus


8.Shall We Begin

I remember the day when we first met
We both got caught in the rain
And we were soaking wet
I looked in your eyes
You gave me a smile
You told me your name
You told me about your career
I told you about my hopes, my dreams, my fears
We had some laughs
One month has past
Tonight can't you stay
Can you stay
Chorus:
Now that the time is feelin' just right
Candles burnin' turnin' out the lights
Anticipate the feeling of your skin
Shall we begin
Hit repeat and let the music play
Until the night turns into day
Open up your heart and let me in
Shall we begin

Over time we've gotten closer than close
You're the one I wanna be with the most
Neither one of us was in a rush
Agreeing to wait
Now I feel my patience running thin
Anticipating when you tell me when
The time is now
Tell me you'll stay

Chorus

We're gonna take our time
Don't hesitate to come inside
Relax your mind
Everything is alright
The candlelight and you
Just pour the wine
We're gonna take it nice and slow
Auto pilot
Steady as we go
Not in a hurry, no
Till I hear you say
That you're so glad you stayed

Chorus out


9.Gothic Interlude

This is a short instrumental interlude


10.Can You Read My Mind

Chorus:
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you
And I might
Before it tears me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind
Don't wanna look at you
I probably should go
'Cause I wanna be with you
More than you'll ever know
For a tasts of you
Object of my desrire
Baby you blow my mind
You light my fire

Want you
Need you
Can't live without you

Chorus

Is this the way I feel
Or curiosity
All the things you do
That bring out the lust in me
The thought of me and you
Drives me wild
Come close to me
Can you stay awhile

Want you
Need you
Can't live without you

Chorus out


11.Lonely

Are you lonely for me
Sunday night
Two weeks past
The last time I saw your face
Our seperate ways we decided to go
Now I find myself
Sittin' down
Thinkin' bout
Everything to this place
We've come to how?
We used to be down
Memories of you
And could you be thinkin' bout me right now

Chorus:
Are you lonely for me
Are you lonely for me
You shouldn't try to hide
The way you feel inside
Are you lonely for me
Are you lonely for me
Just let me make it right
Come stay with me tonight
Are you lonely for me
Are you lonely for me
I won't believe we're through
Tell me what you wanna do
Are you lonely for me
Are you lonely for me
Hey...

There's no good in goodbye
That's a lie
I wish we could go back
When we first met
Hard to forgive and forget
I wish that I could have you
Right here next to me
You're supposed to be in my arms
Through stormy weather
Safe from harm
Can we be down
Show me how
Wish I could hear from you
Right now

Chorus

Lay it on the line
I won't waste your time
We can make it work
I know we'll be fine
Together we will start
Never be apart again

Chorus out


12.Cherish

Thinkin' back in time
Someone said that love is blind
But they were wrong
You just choose to not see
When it's right before you eyes
You'd rather compromise
Then give your all
Then it don't turn out
The way it's supposed to be
Time and time again you disappoint
When she believes
Just do your best
And give here what she needs
And...

Chorus:
Cherish her love
Show here she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone
Cherish her love

It might be hard to conceive
You gotta see the forest
Despite the trees
Before it all burns down
Not tellin' ya nothing you don't know
But she'll let you have your fun
But when a woman's done, she's done
And then she'll go
Just when you're needin' her the most

Time and time again you disappoint
When she believes
Do all you can
To give here what she needs

Chorus

And if you care about the weather
Keep her safe and warm
Let nothing in between stand in your way
They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm
Together come whatever
Come what may
Just...

Chorus out


13.Home

Thinking back when we first met
I remember what you said
You said you'd never leave me
I let go of your hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now I'm reachin' out again
And I'm not letting go
Till you
Hold me
Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See I gotta find my way back home
So why don't you
Shape me
Make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
Back home

Master upon my knees I pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in your hands
Lord I know I'm just a man
I know you understand
This time I'm not letting go
Till you

Anoint me
Appoint me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See I gotta find my way back home
So why don't you
Chastise me
Baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way

'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering
Long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And I'm not gonna rest till you

Choose me
Use me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
I'm on my way back home
So why don't you
Direct me
Bless me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I'm on my way
Back home
