Safe lyric - Natalie Cole

She broke your heart
You fell apart
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
You never thought that you'd get caught
Doing it again
Now, did ya?
So hard to get so cool and yet
You're lovin' it and you know it
Cause when we meet
We feel the heat
Trying so hard not to show it
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way

Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again

It took a while to make you smile
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
Hard as you try, you can't deny
That you're ready now
Would I kid ya?
So take the reins and break the chains
No, you can't hold back forever
You're in control, you're on a roll
And the timing won't get no better
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way

Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again

It's not a crime to change your mind
People do
It's not so bad, it's easy to
You never know when love will show you the way
You don't belong to yesterday

Just when (oh boy) you thought it was safe
You didn't know what hit ya
Now, did ya?
Ha, ha, ha, yeah, yeah, oh baby
I got'cha thinkin'
Now didn't I, now didn't I
Now didn't I, boy?

Trying hard to be cool
But my love's getting through
You're in trouble
I bet'cha my love is surely gonna get'cha, baby

Just when you thought it was safe
You've been runnin' and hidin'
Slippin' and a-slidin' no more

Just when you thought it was safe
It's not safe
That you could never fall in love again

Just when you thought it was safe
You're in love
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again

I got'cha thinkin' now, didn't I?
Now I got'cha wonderin', now don't I?
Oh, I got'cha thinkin'
I got'cha thinkin'
My love is gonna get'cha
Looks like my love is getting through

As A Matter Of Fact lyrics - Natalie Cole

Blow daddy, oh, yeah

Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong

Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say

Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Some said we wouldn't make it this far
But they don't talk no more
(No more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we have's what others hope for

Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say

Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I'm glad that you need me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Mm, matter of fact, yeah
(Ooh as a matter of fact)
I want you
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)

And I can't tell you more than that
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, matter)
Aw, blow, daddy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come and go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say

Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)

Yeah, and I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
Ooh, ooh, baby

Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)
And I'm glad that you need me right back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Ooh baby
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
Loving you baby
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, matter)

Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
Ooh, matter of fact
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)

Rest Of The Night lyrics - Natalie Cole

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
(Stronger, stronger)
If we're gonna climb a mountain
We gotta take our sweet time
When you're traveling down love's highway
Don't you know speeding is a crime
Listen, getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer
My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)
Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)
Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)
Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger
(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah
(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)
Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you
I want you to take your time
Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)
Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)
So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)
Now she had the right idea (oh--)
So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love)
we've got forever
If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
We'll get there, don't you worry
(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)

Miss You Like Crazy lyrics - Natalie Cole

Even though it's been so long
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you

I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you

I can see the love shining in your eyes
And it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now

And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again

Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight
And whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through

If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now

And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
And I miss you, baby, I miss you, baby
All the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong
You know the real thing come along

And I miss you
I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can save me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy

Good To Be Back lyrics - Natalie Cole

Let me look at you, just look at you
You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights, I spent holding you so tight
Then I'd wake up and we're still apart

Now you're really near and I'm really here
And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can
This is just like I remember, no I think it's even better
Maybe even more than I can stand

Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you, oh yeah

Well it's not the first time, we've been apart
But as far as I'm concerned it's the last
I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past

'Cause when I go through the day and I haven't seen your face
Seems like nothing that I do feels right
You're the one I wanna see when I wake up every day
You're the one I wanna kiss goodnight

Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you

So good, so good, so good
So good, so good with you, baby
So good with you

Why don't you start me up with just one kiss
That's just one of the things I've missed
You better kiss me once again till it finally settles in
Well I think I could get used to this

Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you

Baby it's good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby it's good to be back with you
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you

And it's so good to be back, oh yeah good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in you're arms again
And it's so good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you

Gonna Make You Mine lyrics - Natalie Cole

Since the time we met never shall forget
The magic feeling when I look in your eyes
Every now and then I see you again
But the words never come out right

I've always been painfully shy
I hide what I feel inside

Tonight I
(Never let you get away)
Open my heart
(Invite you in to stay)
I need you
(More than words can say)
And I hope you feel the same

Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
Hope that there's a chance, baby
That we can get together

'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly

Many times before I would just ignore
Love when it came around and knocked on my door
Keeping to myself, trusting no one else
I've put my heart out of reach on a shelf
With you I can't pass up this chance
For a once in a lifetime romance

'Cause after all
(Someone said it very plain)
When it comes to love
(No pain, no gain)
I think I'll
(Take a chance on you)
And you know I play to win

I'm gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
Hope that there's a chance, honey
That we can get together

'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly, yeah

Oh, I'm looking for one lifetime romance
(Someone said it very plain)
I'll think I'll
(No pain, no gain)
Take a chance on you
(Take a chance on you)
Ooh, 'cause you know I play to win, baby

(Gonna make you mine)
I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer

(Gonna make you mine)
I'm gonna make you mine
I believe there's a chance that
We can get together

'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I gonna love you endlessly

(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
I'm gonna make you mine
And I won't take no for answer
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
Oh, you've captured my heart
I know that we can get together, together, together
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
I'm gonna make you and I'm gonna love you
And I won't take no for answer

Starting Over Again lyrics - Natalie Cole

And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time, I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more

We were just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feelings die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our heart and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right

And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's heart

And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time, I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more

And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
We are starting over, over again

Don't Mention My Heartache lyrics - Natalie Cole

Hoo, hoo, mm
Don't mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don't want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading
When anybody asks me you know I'll say, yeah
That I love him, he loves me
We're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again
Though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'Cause I don't want nobody to know
That I go through the motions (motions)
Put a smile on my face, yes, I do
I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
And I don't talk about my business to noone
If anybody asks me you know what I'll say, yeah
That I love him; he loves me, we're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, oh, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'Cause I don't want nobody to know--
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--
That the heartache that I'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
And I don't want nobody to know, nobody
(Can't talk about it)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(Don't want to think about it)
And I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
(Don't mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It's a sweet face, yes, it is
Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody
(Don't mention my heartache)
And I got to keep it a secret
(I'm minding my business)
'Cause my man, 'cause my man
Ain't my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)
Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...

Someone's Rockin' My Dreamboat lyrics - Natalie Cole

Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along all peaceful and calm
Then suddenly, something went wrong

Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Tell me, who can it be?

A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting all alone

Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
I'm a captain without a crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Yes, I'll keep sailing 'til I find you

Sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')

Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Disturbing my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Tell me, tell me, who can it be?
Tryin' to understand this mutiny at sea

Yeah, someone is rockin', rockin'
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Simply, rockin', rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')

Well, I keep on sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep on wailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
'Cause someone's is rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)

[?]
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')

Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin', someone' rockin'
Someone's rockin', someone's rockin'

Out of my dream, get out of my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out of my, out of my, out of my, no, no

"Everlasting" (1987)

Everlasting lyrics - Natalie Cole

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah, ho ho

Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'

I was just an average girl
Playing the field, hoping
For someone to come into my world
Someone not afraid to look into my eyes

And make a connection
Then you walked in my direction
And from the moment that we touched
I knew what we found was

Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'

Walking down a one way street
I had to be careful
'Cause it seemed that every guy that I'd meet
Was looking just to have another one night stand

But through your devotion
I surrendered my emotion
I'm giving you the best of me
'Cause I'm sure that we'll be

Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'

Everlasting love, oh yeah
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting love, uh, ha

Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growin'
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time

Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'

Everlasting, what a feeling
Our love's gonna grow
Even through the fire, baby
Everlasting and never ending

Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growing
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time

Everlasting, what a feeling
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting and never ending
Until the end of time
And even through the fire, baby

Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know that the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
What a feeling

Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah

Jump Start lyrics - Natalie Cole

Alright Paul, oh, oh, oh

Our love is running down, done fell into a slump
Give me a spark to get the fire burning

The Urge To Merge lyrics - Natalie Cole

Though I think I really know you
And you think you know me
And we're as close at two people
Could ever hope to be
Still I can't escape the feeling
That no matter what I do
I'll never understand what it feels like to be you
I get the urge to know you better
To make our spirits one
I want to see us be together
As close as we can come
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
Have you ever wanted something
You just had to possess
And it turned into obsession
And wouldn't let you rest
There are times I can't help wishing
I could melt right into you
Hear every word you're thinking
Feel everything you do
I feel trapped inside my body
And there's nothing I can do
Want to leap across the wall
That's keeping me from you
To break what can't be broken
To say what can't be spoken
If only for a moment
To touch your soul
I get the urge to know you better

Split Decision lyrics - Natalie Cole

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Oh, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Mm, hmm

Who's gonna take the blame tomorrow
If we break up tonight?
If we break up
Who's gonna stop this stupid war?

That nobody's gonna win
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that came between us

So, unimportant now
All of those fights
Why do we always hurt the ones
We care the most about?

The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that happened
And the dreams that came apart

Do you still want me in your life
I need to know so tell me?
Can we still make it in this life
Or is it too late for us?

How long is time about to wait?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hoo

Who's gonna say they're sorry first
And put this hurt away?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in

It's not so easy putting back the pieces
Of a broken heart
Getting back where we started
Oh, no, oh, no

It's not so easy picking up the pieces
Of a broken heart
And get it back
(Get it back)

Get it back where we started
(Where we started)
Oh, oh, oh, no but if we hold on
We
(But if we hold on, we can try to make it)

Can try to make it and get it back
(Maybe mend this heart)
Where we started
(Get it back where we started)

Oh, oh, oh it's not so easy
(It's not so easy)
Picking up the iddy bitty pieces
(Picking up the pieces)
(Of a broken heart)

Get it back
(Get it back where we started)
Get it back where we started
But if we hold on
(If we hold on)

We're gonna make it
(We can try to make it)
(Maybe mend this heart)
Get it back where we started

When I Fall In Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

(originally by Doris Day)

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely (Completely)
Or I'll never give my heart (Give my heart)

And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love (When I fall in love) with you

Oh, this love feels so right.

(When... I give my heart)
When I give my heart, it will be completely
(Completely)
Or I'll never (never, never) give my heart
(Never give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
(When I fall in love)
Is when I fall in love with you
Ohhhh
I love you
