The System - You are in My System (1982) VIDEO



The System
"You Are in My System" (1982 Mirage)




LYRICS

Day by day
And night by night
I see you in my mind
It happens all the time

You know my daydreams stop
My heart beats on
I can't take it anymore
It's you I live for, ho, baby

You are in my system
I just want you to know that, oh
You're in my system
Got me burnin', burnin', baby, oh
You're in my system, oh
You're in my system
Don't you, don't you, don't you know that, baby

I will keep on pushin', pusin'
Until I get through
My main objective, baby
Is to get to you

Turn your mind around
I know it takes time
But you know I can't wait, no
You're on my mind

You are in my system
I just want you to know that, oh
You are in my system
Got me burnin', burnin', baby
You are in my system, oh
I just want you to know that, oh
You are, you're in my system

I keep on pushin', baby

You're in my soul
Love's got control
Just can't get enough
Of your lovin' touch

It's a romantic vision
Of me and you
Holding hands on Sunday
And Monday too

There's no doubt in my mind
That's I've been true, baby
You know I'll take you out
And I keep love new, oh, baby

You are in my system
I just want you to know that, oh
You are, you're in my system
Got me burnin', I'm on fire, baby
'Cause you're in my system, oh
Want you to know that, oh
You are, you're in my system, system
Got me burnin', oh
You are, you're in my system
I just want you to know that, oh
You are, you're in my system, system
Everything I need, oh
You're in my system
You keep my body alive, baby, oh
You are, you're in my system
I see you day and night and night now, oh
You are, you're in my system
Everything I need, oh
You are, you're in my system
All I need is your body, oh
You are, you're in my system

Melba Moore - This Is It (1976)



Melba Moore
"This is it" (1976 Buddah)



LYRICS:

This Is It
Chorus:
This is it
This time I know it's the real thing
I can't explain what I'm feeling
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin' ways
(repeat)

1:
You smiled at me
And suddenly
The wheels of love began to turn inside of me
We settled low
I felt a glow
Right then and there I knew I'd never let you go
Cause I know, I know...
(Chorus)

2:
The touch of you
Is something new
Nobody ever made me feel the way you do
It's heavenly
It's ecstasy
The way you make me feel when you make love to me
Can't you see, can't you see...
(Chorus)

En Vogue - Hold On (1990) VIDEO



En Vogue
"Hold On" (1990 Atlantic)




LYRICS:

[Intro:]
When I had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would of known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about

[chorus:]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love evryday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

[chorus]

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

[chorus]

[ad lib:]
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Baby (2011)



Carly Rae Jespen
"Call Me Baby" (2011 Interscope)



LYRICS:

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I looked at you as it fell
And now you're in my way

I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans
Skin was showing
Hot night
Wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's my number
So call me maybe

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me maybe

You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still you're in my way

I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans
Skin was showing
Hot night
Wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's my number
So call me maybe

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so so bad, bad, bad, bad....

It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's my number
So call me maybe

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me maybe

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe

Jeffrey Osborne
"Stay with me Tonight"
Album: Stay with me Tonight (1983 A&M)



LYRICS:

Another morning, you are on my mind,
Takin' up my time through all the day.
I try controllin' images I see
Always you with me, that's in my dreams.
You give me fever, love I can't explain,
Fire uncontained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight, but I never win,
Seems I just give in to your embrace.
But oh, you try so hard not to say,
Oh, all the things you do to me, and girl, oh,
Oh, my love can't be concealed, girl, you know the deal,
Baby, stay with me tonight.

At my apartment, you've come to the door,
Quarter after four AM, hello.
We start to kiss, ooh we start to neck,
You know what comes next, and you love it, girl.
But oh, what we have it feels so good,
Oh, and we both knew that it would, and girl,
Oh, the feeling is so right, please come hold me tight,
Baby, stay with me tonight.

'Cause you give me special joy,
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy, girl,
Oh, give me feelings of delight,
Please turn out the light,
Baby, stay with me tonight, 'cause I love you
You know I really do love you, girl,
It's been my innermost fantasy
To share my love and to give my love to you through the night!

You call me crazy, maybe that is true,
But what can I do? I love you, girl.
You got me movin', movin' left and right,
Deep within the night, come here, my dear.
You give me fever, love I can't explain,
Fire uncontained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight, but I never win,
Seems I just give in to your embrace.

But oh, oh I pray you never leave,
'Cause my heart would surely grieve so, girl,
Oh, and you know I would not lie, girl, you are my pride,
Baby, stay with me tonight.
'Cause you give me special joy,
Oh, make me feel like a schoolboy, girl, oh
Oh, the feeling is so right, please come hold me tight,
Baby, stay with me tonight.
Need you by my side, baby, stay with me tonight.

When we met, always knew
I would feel the magic for you

Genesis - Turn It On Again (1980)



Genesis
"Turn it on Again"
Album: Duke (1980 Charisma)



LYRICS

(ONE TWO THREE FOUR)
All I need is a TV show, that and the radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I,I.I,I,I!...

You're just another face that I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long I feel you like a friend
Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
Can I meet you on another day and we will fly away

I can show you I can show you!, some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you!, some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I,I. I,I,I!...

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face)
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face)
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face)
