What's in it for me?

Why do I go thru the extremes of pleasing everyone? Why do I waste my time trying to make things right? No one even really cares about the things that I do... I pretty much just do because it's routine and because it's expected. I've loved and I've lost...

I try to please my man, but he's only into himself. I can barely get him to get off of his game long enough to hug me... I do everything for him and then some. I love him with all of my being but sometimes I wonder, is it worth it?

My kids are my life and I get really tired of trying to please them... I provide for them, I love them wholeheartedly and all I get in return is back talk and attitude... lies and anything else.

Sometimes I just want to call it quits. I'm tired of doing for everyone else. Why can't someone just do for me for once?

All I want is for someone to show me a little affection. To be there for me emotionally. I want to be held. Looked at as if I am the most beautiful woman in the world to them. I want to be told how beautiful I am, or how beautiful he thinks I am. I am just ready to be given everything that I give... 100%!

Why do I do all that I do?

What's in it for me?

Love - Musiq

Love
So many things I've got to tell you
But I'm afraid I dont know how
'Cause there's a possibility uou'll look at me differently

Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause

Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Many days I've longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your touch, your feel, your essence
Many nights I've cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you're real
With no doubts and no fears
And no questions

At first you didnt mean that much to me
But now I know that youre all I need
The world looks so brand new to me
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do I do it for you
What I say is how I feel so believe it's true
You got to know Im true

Second Time Around Shalamar

I know you come a long way, baby
But you don't need that heart of stone, no
You proved that you could do it, do it, baby
You could make it on your own
But you can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down, no, no, no
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
Love can still be found

(The second time around)Ooh, the second time is so much better, baby
(The second time around)And I'll make it better than the first time

You know I really love you
And I paid for my mistakes, yes, I did, girl
The more I try to hide my feelings, baby
This old heart gets in the way
And love won't let me wait

(The second time around)Girl, with me it's better than the first time
(The second time around)Let's do it one more time, say it again
(The second time around)All that I've been through
I'll do it again just as long as I'm with you
(The second time around)Haaaaaa, the second time

I'll make it so good to you, babe
I make it so good to you
Not like the first time(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time
Not like the first time(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time

You can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found

(The second time around)I'm gonna keep you mine the second time, baby
(The second time around)I'll know what to doJust as long as I'm with you
(The second time around)Do it one more time, say it again
The second time around

Dangerously In Love - Beyonce

I love you...
Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side
You're my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrop
I am the sea
With you and God, who's my sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I'm so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and messed up world

I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me

And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thoughts of all my love for you sometimes it makes me wanna cry
I realize all of my blessings
I'm grateful
To have you by my side

Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world To love, to hold
To feel
To breathe
To live you
Dangerously in love

I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously in love

All at once - Whitney Houston

All at once
I finally took a moment
And I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it finally hit me all at once

All at once
I started counting teardrops
And at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

Chorus:

All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
All at once the smile that used to greet me
Brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once

Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

Even more Random

I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me youre gonna play it smart
Were through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun
When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go

Chorus:

Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire

I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go...

If I were you woman and you were my man
You'd have no other woman you'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strenght to walk out that door
My love would over rule my sense and I'd call you back for more
If I were your woman If I were your woman And you were my man
She tears you down Darling says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up Darling when she lets you fall
You're like a diamond but she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you
But me, oh no you don't ask
If I were your woman If I were your woman If I were your woman
Here's what I'd do...I'd never, never, no, no...stop loving you
Life is so crazy And love is unkind
But because she came first will she hang on your mind
You're a part of me And you don't even know it
That I'm what you need But I'm too afraid to show it
If I were your woman If I were your woman If I were your woman
Here's what I would do I'd never, never, no, no stop loving you
