I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got (She's got herself a real life better) (She's got herself a real life better) I ain't got no troubles, baby And I'm a long way from feelin' sad I ain't got no money either But that's something that don't really matter I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) There's not enough hours in one day To sit and watch all my dreams come true Every day is a sunshine day Probably 'cause I'm happy and not because of you And that is something I can surely be proud of (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-doo) (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo) She's got herself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Now I have found while I've grown What I really want in life for me And it's like a dream a dream come true I got the one I wanted, got the one I need And I couldn't be more happy now, I really, really mean it I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Oh, yeah

What are you thankful for? A lot of times, we get too engrossed on what we don't have Instead of focusing on what we have Because really "what you don't have actually don't count" What you have does It is the fact that we focus way too much on the loss, that makes us not cherish our wins No matter what they are, so we completely ignore them The obstacles don't finish, the race only ends when we leave this world Pending then, it's a marathon, not a sprint So I ask you again, what are you thankful for?

I like taking chances, Especially when it comes to love. But L-O-V-E Is not the the kind of word I speak lightly of. It's so romantic, The reflection of the moon on a Carribbean cruise. But there's another reflection I see against the water: Another man in your shoes. I know you'll find a saying like Handsome whirlwind He's the reason I believe Money can't buy me love. And since money is your top priority, I suggest you hold on To what you've got. If I had it I know just who I would spend it on. Hold on To what you've got, 'Cause I'll be holding on to love. Ooh You shouldn't have no problem With women, there are those out there Who would love to play your game Just for the fun of it, But I don't care. I'm your secretary on the job, I hope that never ends. We may have to see each other, So if we can't be lovers, We can still be friends. Business, people, pleasure Should be on your mind, boy. When it comes to loving me, You're wasting your time. Better give your love To who's loving you, So they can be hugging you. Hold on To what you've got. Now I know I've got somebody Who is good this time. Better hold on To what you've got, 'Cause I'll be holding on to love. Better hold on I really love my work, But you're getting bold. And that's something You fail to realize. But if you keep it up, I'll have to take control. 'Cause you can't put a Swift, good loving on hold. No no no, It just won't go. No no no You're wasting your time. Better give your love To who's loving you, So they can be hugging you. Hold on To what you've got. Now I know I've got somebody Who is good this time. Better hold on To what you've got, 'Cause I'll be holding on to love. Hold on To what you've got. Now I know I've got somebody Who is good this time.

Well, now, it takes more than a robin to make the winter go And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin' to make a fire grow And baby you've got what it takes You know it takes a lot of kissin' SPOKEN (Tell me about it) To make a romance sweet Ooh, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete Mmm, and it takes a lot of woman to knock me off my feet And baby, you've got what it takes. I said, mm, mm, mm. uh-huh, mm, mm, mm Ah, ah, hah mm, mm You know you've got just what it takes! Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you It'd take more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true But it takes somebody special to make me say, "I do." SPOKEN "Oh, yeah" And baby, you've got what it takes. Ah, ah, hah mm, mm, uh-huh, mm, mm, mm Mmm You know you've got just what it takes Because it takes oh yeah SPOKEN **" You're back in my spot again, honey"** SPOKEN **"I like your spot"** To stay away from you SPOKEN "I can't stay away from you" It takes more than a lifetime, daddy, to prove that I'll be true SPOKEN "NOW it's you" But, it takes somebody special SPOKEN "Like me, baby" To make me say, "I do." And baby you've got what it takes SPOKEN "C'mon, let's play it again, huh?" SPOKEN "C'mon, let's do it one more time, all right?" And baby you've got what it takes SPOKEN "One more time, Brook" SPOKEN "Ah-ha, OK, Ah-ha" And baby you've got what it takes

I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes And how serene your friends and fiends We flew and strolled as two, illuminated gently Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me? You knew you got that heart made of stone You shoulda let me know You coulda let me know We'll go 'till morning comes And traffic grows And windows hum Spending all week with your friends Give me evenings and weekends Evenings and weekends I could be yours We can unwind All these half floors All these half floors You'd agree it's a typical high You fly as you watch your name go by And once a name goes by Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud And the eight k thuds it does Sunset so thickly Let's make it quiet and quickly Don't frown Tastes better on the way back down I could be yours We can unwind All these half floors All these half floors All these half floors Will lead to mine We are all curious We can unwind All these half floors All these half floors Will lead to mine Will see to All these half floors All these half floors Will see to All these half floors Will lead to mine We can unwind all half floors
