Through The Rain

Written by Mariah Carey and Lionel Cole
Verse 1

When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you're distraught
And in pain without anyone
When you keep cryin out to be saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can't find your way home
You can get there alone, it's ok
Once you say
Chorus
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong enough to mend
And everytime I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain
Verse 2
And if u keep falling down
Don't you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
So keep pressing on steadfastly
And you'll find what you need to prevail
Once you say
Repeat Chorus

Bridge
And when the wind blows
And shadows grow close
Don't be afraid
There's nothing you can't face
And should they tell you
You'll never pull through
Don't hesitate
Stand tall and say
Repeat Chorus

Chorus
I can make it through the rain
And Stand up once again
And I'll live one more day, and I
I can make it through the rain
Ending
Oh yes you can
You're gonna make it through the rain

Boy (I Need You)

Written by Mariah Carey, Justin Smith, Norman Whitfield
Verse 1
I can't help it
When I'm not
around you (boy)
Cause all I ever seem
to do is drift away
In dreams about you
Cause when I'm without you (boy)
It always seems like part of me
is missing baby

V B
Sometimes I don't call
Like I don't care at all
But secretly, You're the only thing
That lifts me up and makes me smile
When I'm unhappy
All you gotta do is call
And suddenly things don't really
Seem so bad at all

Chorus
(boy) I need you (boy) adore you (boy)
Gotta love you (boy)
I wanna feel your touch
This ain't no little crush
So come and get my love
Baby anything you want
Feeling you (boy)
Fiending for you (boy)
Just waiting on you (boy)
When I see you (oh boy)
I'm gonna wrap you up
Inside my love
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy

Verse 2
My heart races when my
motorola beeps
Or my cell rings
I just make a wish and if it's you
My whole day changes
Cause when I know you're
thinking of me (boy)
Heaven knows
Suddenly it's not so dismal baby

Repeat V B

The One

Written by Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox
Verse 1
See I'm going through a situation
That I can't help
Wanna get a little closer
But I promised myself
That I would never
Give my heart
Away again
Oo oo babe

I know it's hard
Butcha gotta understand it
The truth is
All the hurt and the pain
And the s*@t that you get
When you have it
Ain't worth it
I've been there so many times
I should know better but I
Can't stop what I feel
When you're next to me
I really think I

Chorus
Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one

Repeat
(Baby you're the one)

Verse 2
See the problem with relationships
In general
Is that it's always a game
In the beginning they'll do
Anything to have you
And once they do
It's never the same
And I, know everyone out there
Can relate
So the question is
One: do I really wanna trust this feeling
Two: do I wanna let it pass me by
Three: do you think it's only superficial
Four: could it actually be different this time
Someone to love me
Someone to be my everything
Maybe I've stumbled upon

Chorus Finally found somebody (the only one)
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love (no, no)
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous (I just don't wanna be hurt)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one
(but boy I think you might be the one)
Finally found somebody
Could be the one
(maybe I've found)
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
(boy I'm so afraid)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one
(cause I know you're the one)

Guitar Solo

Oh baby
Sweet darling
I
I think I finally found
Finally found somebody (the only one)
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous (no)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
(I don't wanna be hurt no more)
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one
(but I think you might really be the one)
Finally found somebody
Could be the one
But I promised myself
(finally found)
That I wouldn't give in to love
(I promised myself not to give in)
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
This is bad
(anymore this is bad)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one
(cause I know you're the one)

Finally found somebody

Could be the one (I finally found somebody that could be the one)
But I promised myself
(but I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love)
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared

And I'm nervous
(and I'm nervous)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one
(please,please baby baby)

I Only Wanted

Written by Mariah Carey and Lionel Cole
Verse 1
Doesn't it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real
Farewell, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

Chorus 1
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life for the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

Verse 2
I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

Chorus 2
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life for the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

I only wanted you
To be there when I opened up my eyes
Oh
Doesn't it ever stay?
I only wanted you to stay

Clown

Written by Mariah Carey, Andre Harris, Vidal Davis, Mary Ann Tatum
Verse 1
I should've left it at, how ya doin
I should've left it at, I like your music too, and
I should've never called you back when you pursued me
I should've never given you my f@?**'n two way
I should've never listened to your woeful stories
The ones I'm sure you told a thousand times before me
You should've never intimated we were lovers
When you know very well
We never even touched each other

Chorus 1
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down---

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down

Verse 2
I gotta break it to ya delicately, dunny
Takin my g5 twenty minutes wasn't nothin
But I guess you wouldn't know
That's the way I roll
Consequently now your ego's fully overblown
You don't want the world to know
That you're just a puppet show
And the little boy inside
Often sits at home alone
And cries, cries, cries, cries (boo hoo. who?)

Chorus 2
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(when your bankroll runs out)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
Nobody! (nobody!)
Nobody

Bridge
Your pain is so deep rooted
What will your life become
Sure you hide it
But you're lost and lonesome
Still just a frail shook one

Chorus 3
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
(tell me who's gonna love you? Who? I'd like to know)
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(if you didn't have nothing)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(who-who'd still be there)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(nobody, nobody, nobody oh)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(there ain't nobody baby)
Fall down ---- (bullies in the schoolyard)

(when they fall they fall hard)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(yeah!

so you fall down better think twice
Better play nice)

(cause who's gonna be there)

Chorus 4
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
(when the jokes on you)
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(a marionette show)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(who's makin you move though)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(I know what kills you slow)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(I'm gonna keep your little
Fall down
Secret though, mmmm hmmmm)

(and you know that I know)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(you're no superhero)
Fall down----
(I guess your mamma never told you that what
Goes around comes back `around')

My Saving Grace

Written by Mariah Carey, Trevor Lawrence,
Kenneth Crouch and Randy Jackson
Intro
I've still got a lot to learn
But, at least I know where I can turn
When I'm in my times of need
Just as long
(as I know all things are possible)
Just as long as I believe

Verse 1
I've loved a lot, hurt a lot
Been burned a lot in my life and times
Spent precious years wrapped up in fear
With no end in sight
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Chorus 1
Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you

Verse 2
Yes, I've been bruised
Grew up confused
Been destitute
I've seen life from many sides
Been stigmatized
Been black and white
Felt inferior inside
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Chorus 2
Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you kept me safe
I found my saving grace within you

Bridge
And the bountiful things that you do
Lord thank you
For delivering me

Chorus
And giving me peace
Giving me strength
Giving me hope when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
Always my saving grace
Pulls me through
I found my saving grace within you

Ending
(yes you are --
you're my every, everything)
Within you --
(only, only you)
Yes lord
(only you)
My saving grace lord is
You

You Had Your Chance

Written by Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri,
Brian Michael Cox and Leon Haywood
Well it's been a while
Since I looked into your eyes
Never dreamed I'd see you tonight
And it's interesting that I
Just don't feel a thing
For the so called love of my life

We used to be close
(but you didn't love me)
We used to be best friends
(but you never really cared)
I let you into my soul
(didn't know you couldn't be trusted)
It took me so long to forget
(all the little things we shared)

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

See, I spent so many sleepless nights
Trying to block you from my mind
I was so convinced
I'd die without you once upon a time
Now my eyes are open and I can see
You were devious and shady
Only trifling with me

We used to be close
(but you didn't love me)
We used to be best friends
(but you never really cared)
I let you into my soul
(didn't know you couldn't be trusted)
It took me so long to forget
(all the little things we shared)

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

Where were you when I needed you most
Would've done anything to hold you close
Would've given the world to be back in your arms
But you left me so torn apart

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

Lullaby

Written by Mariah Carey, Andre Harris and Vidal Davis
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

Hey boy, what's going on
Thanks, I'm doing okay
Don't believe rumours- hey
How's your family
Please say hello for me
Guess we've both grown up a bit
But I have to admit
It really still feels good
Here by your side
Sitting right next to you
Just like I used to do
You know we can't deny
No one else in our lives
Holds a candle to you and I

Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

So here we are again
All by ourselves
So familiar you know
That it actually almost feels like deja vu
Of that night on the roof
We kissed under the sky amid city lights
A sudden flashback to so long ago
In the dark all alone
With our bodies this close
Guess some things never change
'Cause I still melt away
When you touch me
And say my name

Should just hug you goodbye (baby)
But I just can't walk away from paradise (so I guess)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(I'll come and love you to sleep)
And we can revisit us one more time
(revisit paradise for a while)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight (by your side)
(lullaby)

I should just hug you goodbye
(see I know I should but boy)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(you just look so good)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(so I'll sing that song)
And we can revisit us one more time
(you like to hear me sing as we revisit us)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

(It feels, feels good)

I should just hug you goodbye
(I can't walk away
But I just can't walk away from paradise
From paradise so I'll take you home and sing to you baby)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(though I know that I should just)

I should just hug you goodbye
(oh I can't, ...cause you)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(you and I both know)
And we can revisit us one more time
(nobody else in our lives holds a candle to you and I)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

I should just hug you goodbye shhh!
(so hush pretty baby)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(mmm,it's just me and you yeah,
as we relive the splendor of you and I)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(I'm gonna sing our sweet lullaby)

Irresistable (West Side Connection)

Written by Mariah Carey, Damon Young, O'Shea Jackson,
Quincy Jones III, Theodore Life, Dexter Wansel
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

I don't wanna lose you to somebody else
But I can't go on contradicting myself
I know that it's pointless to keep hodling on
But something inside tells me you're where I belong

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

I know that it's unrealistic to think
That things will get better
Between you and me
Cause time after time
You just shatter my heart
But when I'm without you
I feel so torn apart

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

Boy
I wish
That I didn't
Love you so
(oh oo oh oo oh oh)
I try to tell you no
But you're irresistible
(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)

See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it's like I'm addicted to you
This love's so consuming
I don't know what to do

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so

But you're irresistible

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

Subtle Invitation

Written by Mariah Carey, 7 Aurelius, Lloyd Smith,
Kenneth Crouch, Rod Bacon, Randy Jackson
On the off chance you'd hear
And if you happen to be somewhere listening
You should know I'm still here

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don't ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in

What can I say, I had a little extra time
So I figured I might as well explain
A couple little things to you
That you probably never knew
Like you'll always be an intrinsic part of me
Even though life goes on

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don't ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in

And in my love will flow
Like the waves to the shore
You can fall into me
Once again effortlessly
And I'll comfort you so

Your heart won't hurt anymore
I'm waiting patiently

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don't ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
(if she hurts you or misleads you)
Is call me and let love rush in
(you can just call me baby)
If you really need me (if you really need me baby)
Baby just reach out and touch me (reach reach baby)
(reach, baby)
You don't ever have to be
(don't ever hesitate to call me)
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you (if she hurts you)
(she's a damn fool)
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in
(all you gotta do is call me boy, I got you)

If you really need me (yeah)
Baby just reach out and touch me
(if you're listening to me baby)
You don't ever have to be (like you used to)
Downhearted again
(before I even knew you)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(then you know I'm singing to you)
Baby all you ever need to do
(so I just wanted you to know)
Is call me and let love rush in
(that "anytime you need a friend")

If you really need me (I'm here)
Baby just reach out and touch me
(you can still believe
You don't ever have to be in fairy tales)
Downhearted again (yours and mine)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(so if by chance you take a listen)
Baby all you ever need to do
(I'm quite sure you "know is call me and let love rush
In that this one's for you)
(cause I'm giving "my all")

You're bringin on the heartache

Sunflowers For Alfred Roy

Written by Mariah Carey and Lionel Cole
Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I've done as a child
Adolescent or woman
Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby
Although I'm aware you had doubts
I guess anybody'd have had doubts

Please be at peace father
I'm at peace with you
Bitterness isn't worth cling to
After all the anguish we've all been through

Thank you for the mountains
The lake of the clouds
I'm picturing you and me there right now
As the crystal cascades showered down

Strange to feel that proud, strong man
Grip tightly to my hand
Hard to see the life inside
Wane as the days went by
Trying to preserve each word
He murmured in my ear
Watch part of my life disappear

Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly
Saying that you've always been proud of me
I needed to feel that so desperately
You're always alive inside of me
Now you're shining like
A sunflower up in the sky
Way up high

Through The Rain (Remix)

Written by Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson and Kenneth Crouch
When you get caught
In the pouring rain
With nowhere to run
Without anyone and you
Get a little bit frightened
Cause you've lost your way home
But through all the thunder and lightening
Just keep praying and keep
Saying to yourself

Yes I can, yes I can
I'll make it through the rain
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong and in time
I can mend
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain

And if you keep on falling down
Don't you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
If you keep pressing on, steadfastly
You'll have everything you need
Believe you will prevail
If you just say

Yes I can, yes I can
I'll make it through the rain
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That i'm strong and in time
I can mend
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain

There are times in your life
When you feel like you can't
Keep going
But keep holding on, keep holding on
There are times in your life when you
Feel like the world all around you
Has shattered, but know that you can't be broken
Don't be afraid, stand tall and say

Yes I can, yes I can
I'll make it through the rain
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong and in time
I can mend
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain
