"I Gotta Know"- Nikka Costa

Source and Photographer Unkown

I gotta know
If I give my heart to you,
And everything you say is true,
And everything you say you'll do, you'll do.
And I gotta know, if I bare my soul right here,
You'll never run or disappear,
You'll hold me till the hours turn to years.

And I gotta say, my heart has never been so sure,
You've mended every piece that tore,
And now my love's too strong to tear away.
So I gotta know, if you feel the same my dear,
Lets justify why we are here,
Say the words that I long to hear.

'Cause I've been so strong for so long,
I've never needed anyone,
But my strength is wearing out my heart.
So I'm letting my guard down
'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody.
But I gotta know.

I gotta know
You'll still kiss away my tears,
Even if they make no sense, even if they put you on defense.
And I gotta know
Through the times when it gets rough,
That our love will be enough, and you'll never let it go.

'Cause I've been so strong for so long,
I never needed anyone,
But my strength is wearing out my heart.
So I'm letting my guard down
'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody.
But I gotta know.
I gotta know, babe.
I need to hear you say,
I know only time will tell,
But I need to hear it anyway.
'Cause now my love's too strong to tear away.

'Cause I've been so strong for so long,
I never needed anyone,
But my strength is wearing out my heart.
So I'm letting my guard down
'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody.

But I gotta know.

"Music Box"- Mariah Carey

Source and Photographer Unknown

When I am lost
You shine a light for me
And set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through

The loneliness
And emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all

When you tell me
I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee, oh baby

If I should fall
Your love is strong enough
To life me up
If I'm afraid, oh baby
You chase away my fears
And take me to

A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side
Through it all

And you tell me
I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee

You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side

Through it all
You tell me
I'm the only one you need
So sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
And baby all I have I want to give to thee

Want to give you all of my love
Now and forever my love
All I have I want to give to thee
