1.Come 2 My House Written by Chaka Khan, The Artist, Robert Palmer and Howard McCrary I've got this feelin' inside And it won't go away It'll take time for it to subside And oh by the way Come to my house Where we can play Like I'm your flower We'll hide and seek Then we will find Love's highest power Could you stop by for some really good beer Or a glass of wine There's no threat, there's no danger here If you forego go the time A look in your eyes And you remind Me of my daddy I can't say why I decided tonight Yes, you can have me Love will surrender Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here Not here Not now 2.This Crazy Life Of Mine Written by Chaka Khan and The Artist This is a story of mind, soul and heart Come to think of it, don't know where to start I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind Bonnie and me were wild most of the time I used to sing for mama's company I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be Sometimes young, yet so old Warm to the touch, intellectually cold I love the how and why of it Thank God the pieces seem to fit Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine Never will forget from whence I came I have some regrets, but I made myself a name Two times a mother and as many times wed Tough times were around me, but better times ahead If your heart can handle these words I've said I see you and me in this crazy life of mine Mine... Gotcha! 3.Betcha I Written by Chaka Khan, The Artist and Mark Stevens Chorus: I betcha I Betcha I can Betcha I can love Betcha I can love ya Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before Betcha I, Betcha I, Betcha I (2x) I betcha I can woo ya Betcha I can do ya Betcha I can do you till you're dead and done Betcha I can love ya Betcha I can hold ya So doncha know that I'm the only one Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before I betcha I can feed ya Betcha I can bleed ya And make you think you're havin' fun Betcha I can choose ya Betcha I can lose ya I betcha I can drop you like a smokin' gun Betcha I can tease ya Betcha I can freeze ya Betcha I can warm you like the mornin' sun Betcha I can flirt ya Betcha I can hurt ya Betcha I can do ya till you're dead and done Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before Chorus I betcha I can hold you Betcha I can mold you Betcha I can take you or leave you alone Betcha I can kiss you Don't you know that I can dismiss you And you're dismissed now Like a rolling stone And how does it feel?

I've got a problem with democracy So where exactly do I stand? Who is this dark cloud hangin' over me? It ain't from God; it must be a man He is the one that you will seldom see The new world order is his name He's got a plan in mind for you and me There are no winners in this game Lies to my left, wrong to my right Compassion unknown This must be the twilight zone And I'm standin' here Tryin' to lose the fear For this I would die The truth will open up my eyes Love will set you free from democracy Supreme power invested in the people Is a bit extreme The highest rank of authority Only God is Supreme! 9.I Remember U Written by Chaka Khan, The Artist and Larry Graham I remember you From a long time ago When my eyes were new It could be just a feeling But I don't think so I'm trusting all my senses That's how I know I remember you I remember you A warm and simple memory Soft and all aglow Like a mother's love That every baby knows I've listened to my heart And it tells me so I remember you 10.Reconsider (U Betta) Written by Chaka Khan and The Artist Please forgive me I don't know what to say except I'm sorry To scare you away from me I get crazy and don't know what I've done It's all hazy Thought we were having fun Was it so bad You feel you had to leave me, baby Now that you're gone I need to belong, believe me baby Chorus I would be so glad If you would reconsider and stay Reconsider, reconsider, reconsider Baby's cryin' It'so cold in our place Inside I'm dyin' We need the smile on your face Don't need no money I don't need no girlfriends Want my daddy To love me again and again and again and Chorus Sometimes honey I know I talk too loud Short temper I'm apt to cuss you ou I don't mean it Passion gets the best of me Still I love you And I feel like you love me too Chorus If you walk out that door You betta reconsider this If you don't call me no more You betta reconsider, reconsider that Reconsider If you think you were lonely before, you betta Reconsider, reconsider this That I changed the lock on this door, you betta Reconsider that If you stop payin' these bills, you gotta Reconsider I betcha somebody will, you betta Reconside 11.Don't Talk 2 Strangers Written by The Artist Lil' darlin', gotta go now Don't know when I'll be coming back Got my future all planned out Got my bags packed Things don't always turn out right But that's just the way it goes Before I leave you, there's just a few Things you should know Don't talk to strangers Don't forget to say your prayers at night Remember God - He made you And one day He'll make everything alright Don't cross on the yellow You always got to wait for a green light Remember God - He made you And one day He'll make everything alright Lil' darlin', gotta go now Don't worry, you'll be just fine When it comes to good luck I just know you'll always be first in line Nobody will ever love you as much as I do But that doesn't mean other people won't love you, too Don't talk to strangers Don't forget to say your prayers at night Remember God - He made you And one day He'll make everything alright 12.Hair (featuring Larry Graham) Written by Larry Graham People ask me everywhere "Is that really all your hair?" I just tell `em, "If it ain't Then it sure don't mean That now I can't" I just don't believe it's fair To judge a girl by the length of her hair Take two words like "hip" and "square" The truth will shine and not your hair Even the blind can almost see What's outside you and inside me Down or high, truth or lie A weak girl's laugh can be A strong girl's cry Black or blond or nappy or fair - You can't judge nobody by hair If I thought that you would care I'd wear a wig up under my hair Down or high, truth or lie A weak girl's laugh can be A strong girl's cry 13.The Drama Written by Chaka Khan and Kirk A. Johnson In this ever-changing world Where things become unfurled And tethered Like a lioness in her pride I was gonna stay by your side Forever As a planet keeps her moon Your love I had assumed And taken And if this love can't come to pass Then I would be alas Forsaken Chorus The drama of the chase The look upon your face Make up your mind It would be a waste If you didn't love me It would be the drama of all time If I'm not good enough for you What else could I do? I could change You know, they say like wine You get better with passin' time How strange …. I wish that in your eyes You saw me like the others See me I could never say enough Darlin' just how much I Wish you'd keep me Chorus Drama, drama of all time It's been ten long years Since I fell in love so dear It's got to be the drama of all time Called you on the telephone And wondered if you were alone It's got to be the drama of all time When I called you back, it was busy What was that? It's a drama, drama of all time Who were you with last night? Busy, busy, you must be busier Than a one-legged man in a kick fight Got to be the drama of all time Drama, drama of all time
