I'm Waiting For The Man
I Belong To You
I Build This Garden For Us
I Don’t Want To Be A Star
If Six Was Nine
If You Can't Say No
I'll Be Around
In My Life Today
Is It Me Is It You
Is There Any Love In Your Heart
It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
It's Your Life


I'm Waiting For The Man
Music & Lyrics: Lou Reed

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
Feeling sick and dirty more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' our women around
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man


I Belong To You
Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star

You lift me from up above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mind are entwined
Before you I was blind

But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind

I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday

So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, and you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet


I Build This Garden For Us
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was

We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hooray

I build this garden for us

In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust

And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it's forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm
You'll never be alone

I build this garden for us

In this garden
They'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll love each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven

I build this garden
I build this garden for us

I build this garden for us


I Don’t Want To Be A Star
Words & Music: Lenny Kravitz

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
'Cause I don't get off on my fame
I got so much confusion now
Sometimes I don't even kno my name

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

Too many distractions run through my brain
So many girls they start to look the same
Too many options no time to choose
Too many clothes, too many shoes

I've had the world I've done it upside down
I played the part and I've been the clown
Now it's my time, it's a brand new day
To be myself in a different way
I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar
 
I got to meet all the wonderful people
I drank with Dylan boy did we act a fool
I got to meet all the fabulous people
I got high with Jagger, it was really cool
 
I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar
 
never...


If Six Was Nine
Witten by: Jimi Hendrix

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, no baby I don't mind
And If the mountains fell in the sea
It ain't me, you know you've got to be free

I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you

Now if six turned out to be nine
I don't mind, no baby I don't mind,
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, no baby I don't care

Because I, I've got my own world to live through,
And I ain't gonna copy you

White collar conservative walkin' down the street
Pointin' their plastic finger at me,
Hopin' my kind will drop and die
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high,
So..., play on drummer

I've got my own world to live through,
And I ain't gonna copy you


If You Can't Say No
Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

If You Can't Say No

People get around
This is a part for you
If you come undone
Then this is what you do

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me
But I also know your kind
Baby you got a lot of nerve
So just try to keep me in mind

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me
You went with another man
And I cried when I read your letter
But I don't really want to know
Where you've gone
Or if it was better

If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about
If you can't say no just think about me

I know that you are in love with me


I'll Be Around

I'm sorry if I tell you that you don't smell like roses
I'm tired of all the hypocrisy and all your silly poses
But honey what I tell you is the truth
So don't turn away
When I said I accepted you
I was here to stay
And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around

I'm sorry if I offended you
But don't walk away
But someone's gotta speak the truth
About the things you say
You can't just dog everybody
Who's supposed to be your friend
Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin' on a friend

And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around

I'll be around
Out on the town
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around
I'll be around

I can always be found
Cause I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around


In My Life Today
Written by: Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross

When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole world's gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder
I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and now I'm born
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery you're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger
I think about the way that you make it right
So full of love and sacrifice
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
But you were right and I was wrong
'Cause I was weak but you were strong
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And now that the darkness has faded
I'm no longer blinded I can see
And I don't have to wait no longer
`Cause it's all about being free
Every day every way
I'm gonna get myself together
Every day every way
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force
And you are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force 
And your are the reign
You make me try to do right
And throw away my evil ways


Is It Me Is It You

And so there comes a time,
We must both make up our minds,
Is our angel singing true,
Is it me is it you ?

I just got to know it now,
Rode somewhere, some place, somehow
Is our love as deep as blue
Is it me is it you ?
Is it me is it you ?

I'm lost in your love
Don't think I ever stopped
I got the feeling that's the reason why
And the question's loud and clear
Should we stay or should we bend
It just gets deeper in the end
I know you want to know it too
Is it me is it you ?
Is it me is it you ?


Is There Any Love In Your Heart
Written by: Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross

Tell me baby why can't you see that I'm feeling down
If you open your eyes you'd see that I'm wearing a frown
You'd think about yourself if you thought I was dead
Aw yeah

Baby baby you walk around like you own this town
Your whole life is a fantasy and I'm playing the clown
You talk behind my back and spend up all my bread

Is there any love in your heart oo yeah
Is there any love in your heart oo

Babe you say I'm the only one
But you're fucking all my friends
Baby all that you care about is Gucci and Mercedes Benz
You're just the kind that's up on all the latest trends

Is there any love in your heart oo yeah
Is there any love in your heart oo


It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always be in love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

(Repeat)


It's Your Life
Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

They say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they're wrong
I want you so bad

Oh we've been together for so long
How could they think we don't belong?
But they'll never know what you and I have

Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life

They say that we don't have a chance
We're victims of unjust romance
But they could'nt see the truth in their hands

We don't have to live like they do
We'll run away if we have to
And we'll start a life that's shining and new
That's shining and new

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life
(Repeat 'til the end)
