Hurricane
Eric Benet
Standing here in disarray A calm serenity The winds of change can devastate And it took this much for me With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide Gonna hold on All the walls around are broken down Now I can hear the rising sun Surrounded by everything I want But nothing that I need I was blinded by the absurdity Losing all identity Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need To find that road Right around that curve a lesson learned Now that I have the eyes to see A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

With poison toys I'd isolate But the wind was strong and true But now I see where the treause is 'Cause they only blocked my view I'm spiraling down but so oblivious Got to find my way home There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me But how do I break this shell of stone A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall And sometimes I tried to break those walls And feel your love But I came alive When I finally found my way A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

Why You Follow Me

Eric Benet
Oh Hey hey Hey La la la He, friend for all my life I would not deny Like brothers in my mind. She, treasure of his heart There upon his arm Eyes of midnight stars I've been tempted by forbidden love before But why must she be everythin That I've been praying for Now this burning in my heart will I ignore When I know that she'll be knocking at my door [Chorus:] Hey Why you messing with my feelings Why you follow me

I can read the signs you're giving Why you follow me Turn away from your desire Why you follow me Don't be playing with this fire Why you follow me Now she's dancing in the night Her body is the moonlight Too much for me to fight Now I'm lost within her arms Careless with my heart I'm weakened by her charms He has looked me in my eyes a million times But now I turn away for I'm afraid Of what he'll find She's the precious love for whom his heart beats for But now she's always knocking at my door

Never Want To Live Without You

Eric Benet
I know to have a heart that love couldn't find I used to come and go no matter what I left behind But now somehow I'm grown to see the world through brand new eyes A better world that you showed to me When you were gone Felt like the stars were pointless to shine And my days dragged on Without a cause or reason to find babe I'm on my own I'm just a lonely waste of time That should be spent with you faithfully [Chorus] So I never wanna live without you Never gonna live without you I never wanna live without you Never wanna live Cause you're the biggest part of my life All of my world is built around you Never make it through without you All the love you bring to me

I was blind Such a fool but now I see Just hold my hand Wherever we are it's all me And now the second chance to start a life and family I thank the Lord and you for this gift to me [Chorus] Thank you for the love When you knew I was wrong Thank you for the chance To run back to your arms Where I belong I don't need to see What is there on the other side Cause you are my love My life Until the day I die [Chorus]
