Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realised a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that Heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

A broken man without a home
Desperate and so alone
A victim of society
No-one really wants to see
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just help each other
Isn't there enough to share

There's got to be a way
To connect this world today
Come together to relieve the pain
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change

In another land they still believe
Colour grants supremacy
I don't understand how there can be
Regulated bigotry
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we accept each other
Can't we make ourselves aware

There's got to be a way
To connect this world today
Come together to relieve the pain
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change

And maybe then the future will be a time
Without war, destitution and sorrow
And hungry children won't have to die
Oh, if we work together today
We'll save tomorrow, yeah
Oh yes
Com'on, com'on

Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just love each other
Isn't there enough to share

There's got to be a way
To connect this world today
Come together to relieve the pain
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change

There's got to be a way
To connect this world today

There's got to be a way
To unite this human race

Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby, look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain

I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
(Given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry
Ooh, I don't wanna cry
Hey

Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around

I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
(Given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry
Ooh, I don't wanna cry
No, no, oh yeah

All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on make-believing
Go on make-believing...

I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
(Given you my heart and soul)
And I've given you my heart and soul
(Given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry
Ooh, cry
I don't wanna cry
Mmm
I don't wanna cry

You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but didn't know it, no
No one you'll ever find will be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believe it- the grass would be greener
You told yourself, "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other

Someday
Ooh, Someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me, I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others

Someday
Ooh, someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

Someday
Ooh, someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when your down
In your time of need
And you're thinking that
You might be coming back to own me
Just think again
'Cause I won't need your love anymore

Someday
Ooh, someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

Someday
Ooh, someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

Someday
Ooh, someday
The one you gave away
Will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy, you're gonna pay
'Cause baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh

I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're...

Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp

And if somehow
I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh
You're vanishing
Drifting so far away
Oh
Vanishing
Oh yeah
Away

Come closer
You seem so far away
There's something I know you need to say
I feel your emotions
When I look in your eyes
Your silence
Whispering misunderstandings
There's so much you need to realise
You'll feel my emotions if you look in my eyes

Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby, it's all in your mind, yes
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby, it's all in your mind

Believe me
I believe in you
There's nothing this feeling couldn't do
Move closer my darling
Feel the love in my eyes
Yes

Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby, it's all in your mind, yes
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby, it's all in your mind
Oh yeah

I know you feel my love
In your mind, yeah

Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby, it's all in your mind, yes
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby, it's all in your mind
Yes
Uh-huh
Mmm...

(All alone in love)

Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone, you got beyond the haze
And I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love

I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realise
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love

Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone, you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love

You haunt me in your dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
(You know your love is not the same)
I've figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love

Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours till the morning light

Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone, you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love

Wait a minute
Before you walk away
Let me finish
I've got a lot to say, yeah
Baby, I'm not gonna tolerate
This game that you play
No
You'll regret it
If you desert me this way
Yeah
When there's nobody
To dry your eyes
Suddenly you're gonna realise

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember you need me

Honey, listen, don't make a big mistake, no
I'm in your system
You really can't escape, no no
When there's nobody to hold your hand
Suddenly you're gonna understand

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember you need me

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember you need me

No-one understands you like I do
After everything
That we've been through
Baby, you can turn around and leave
But I know that you'll keep coming
Right back to me
Yeah, darling
Yeah

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me
Now, before you act so hastily
Baby, remember you need me

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me
Now, before you act so hastily
Baby, remember you need me

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me

Baby, remember you need me

(Don't you know)
You need me
(Don't you see)
Believe me

I can't imagine looking in someone else's eyes
What we have surpasses even paradise
It's hard to fathom reaching for someone else's hand
What we share is magic
Heaven had a plan

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

Unending passion
Somehow the fire never dies
What we share is everlasting
Love without without demise
Oh yes, he made it happen
Placed so much joy into our hands
What we dreamed
We finally captured
Heaven took command

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

I don't wanna live without your love
Must've been sent from up above
I don't wanna live without your love
Must've been sent from up above

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

Sent from up above
So much love in my life
I can't get enough of your touch
Feels so right

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

Ha, maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you're lyin'
Denyin' all of your actions
So listen up
'Cause here's my reaction

Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
Always tried so hard to keep me down
But now I'll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations
Take you by surprise
I've realised
Now I'm ending all the secrecy
I see through your disguise
All the dreams we planned
I believed, so I held on
I understand, yes
So, when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

No longer blind
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind
Don't believe it's all a mystery
There's nothing you can hide
It's all defined
There's nothing you can tell me now
To change the way I feel inside
All the dreams we planned
I believed, so I held on
I understand, yeah
So, when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
I won't be the prisoner of your love
(Of your love)

(Don't wanna be a prisoner)
(I don't wanna be a prisoner)
No, mmm

(Don't wanna be a prisoner)
(I don't wanna be a prisoner)

So if you wanna feel my love
Can't be a liar
Play around, and see me and then say
"Mariah, I miss you"
Expect me to hug and kiss you
Don't wanna diss you
But I guess
I'm not the kinda girl you thought I was 
I've had enough for now
I'll see you later
'Cause boy, maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I won't be the prisoner, baby
Of your love
No more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
I won't be the prisoner of your love

I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Cryin' cause you playin' dirty all over town
You can't do that
I'm not a doormat
You're just a player
That's not my format

See ya

I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone
Ooh

Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly, I'm so incomplete
Lord, I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
And I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone

You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do
And I feel that you do
Inside

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was so blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna be there alone
