NUMBER 1
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
It’s clear to see that you’re the one
I’m thankful that you stuck around
I could never do, no better than you no
No matter how hard I try you make me satisfied
Girl I would cry for you I would act like a fool for you
PRECHORUS
I aint nothing if you aint by my side, you’re my candle in the night
CHORUS
Baby you’re my number one
Every single thing about you turns me on
You’re my fire in the middle of a winter storm
You got me on lock down there aint no hope for me
You’re my number one and I can’t wait to get it on
Girl I only got eyes for you
My number one number one number one
People trying to get in our biz’
They’ just jealous that’s all that is
They just can’t believe that a girl like you could love a man like me
And somehow I tend to agree
Girl I would die for you put it on the line for you
PRECHORUS/ CHORUS
RAP: Beta believe aint nobody else can love me beta than my baby
Even when she naggin me and driving me crazy, I hate it when she naggin and drivin me crazy
But I love it when she kisses me, when she calls me on the phone and say she misses me,
Standing up for me when othas be dissin me, stuck around tuff times made it through the rough times
You’ll always be my numba one lady. - Track Name: 2 Night

And I’m gone’ light your fia’ tonight
CHORUS
Day light is gone, let’s get it on, I want it all girl
Tonight, I’ll take my time, and I’ll do you right
It’s all about you tonight
Oh baby flip the script
You can go ahead and take control
I don’t mind, baby I’m yours
I love the way your hips talk to me,
And I really dig our chemistry
Neva woulda thought that you and me
Would be right here
I’m so in love with you baby, look at what you’ve done to me
Gonna take you to a place tonight where there’s just you and me
Baby let me light your fia tonight
CHORUS

ONLY YOU
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
It’s been so long, since you’ve been gone
I need you here, only you can take this pain away
Been so miserable, I’m so sorry babe,
But since you left my whole world has fallen apart
True you never know what you got till it’s gone
Now you’re gone and this house aint a home no mo
I took your love for granted, girl, you didn’t deserve this
She had enough now she gone
Now that she’s gone, you know the silence speaks so loud
If I could turn back the hands of time, you’d still be mine
CHORUS
Only you can fill this space in my heart, you are my world
I’ll never love this way again
Only you can be both lover and friend
You are my world; I’ll never love this way again
I think its ova now, really ova now
All I had to do usually was shed a few tears and she’d come back to me
But not this time, oh no she gat her hands in her hips now
Can’t fix this wid flowers and a kiss no
Girl I’m going crazy, over you, please don’t leave me this way
Girl I need you right here with me
I know I took your love for granted, you didn’t deserve that
She had enough now she’s gone
Now that she’s gone, you know these tears keep flowing down
I wish I could stop and hit rewind, you’d still be mine
CHORUS - Track Name: For love

FOR LOVE
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
I threw love into the wind, and I declared that it’s not welcome in this heart again
Thought I put love in its place, love came back and hit me in the face
That’s when love stole my heart again.
CHORUS
That is why I fight for love, cause love didn’t give up on me
Even when my heart was torn, with open arms love rescued me
When my friends left me alone, love was there in my season of despair
I was lost now I’m found once again
I threw love into the fire
Love endured the test and now my weary soul can rest
I owe it all to you I found y faith again, now I don’t have to run no more
I turn my back on you, that’s when you shoulda walked away
But still you stayed
CHORUS
BRIDGE: everything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong, in my life
I aint tryina’ get no pity from yuh I just wanna tell yuh like it is
I cried every tear a man possibly could cry, that’s why
I nearly gave up on you love, how selfish of me
I threw love into the wind, and I declared that it’s not welcome in this place again
Thought love was a waste of time; love came back and blew my mind
That’s when love stole my heart once again - Track Name: I choose you

I CHOOSE YOU
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis

Will you be my girl
I’m not talking bout just for a day
Some people say that I’m old fashion
But see I know what I want
I want you to always be here
I know my feelings makes me venerable
But that’s ok
I’m growing tired of playing games
I won’t let you slip away
We don’t need to rush
We can take another step only when you’re comfortable
You’ll see my love’s reliable
Chorus
I’ll follow you
Straight to my doom
My empty room’s
Always filled with you
I will follow you
I won’t live without your love
My life won’t mean a thing without your love girl
Would you be my love
Baby now and forever more
I agree that I’m old fashion
But see I know what I want
I want your love
Baby please never leave
See it’s a custom for me to be one who would hit and run
And everybody knows it’s true
But everything changed with you
And I’m glad it’s a change for the better
We don’t need to rush we can take it slow
My love aint got nowhere to go
But into you
All over you
Chorus
Bridge
If time should recoil girl
I’ll have you know that I wouldn’t change a thing
Is always been you
I wanna give you my name
If I had to choose between your love and the fame
I choose you. - Track Name: Good love

GOOD LOVE

Well I’m sitting here wondering where you’ve been all my life
See this world makes more sense now with you
You are the missing link to my heart; you drive those sad songs away
Well I been in love once or twice in my life but not like this
This is no ordinary kinda love, I know this might seem so crazy, but that’s ok
Don’t chu worry about it
I’m the kina man when I fall in love I fall right in
Aint got time for playing all these games; you know that messin around just makes it hard
I found someone who makes me complete the lovin knocks me off my feet
It’s like heaven this good love
CHORUS
Well I’m in love with you touch
You give me good love
I’m on a mission for your permission can I have this dance with you
First I’m gonna dim the lights low
Hold me close and don’t let go
No other love made feel so alive and so real
Let’s make history you and me, you’re so good to me honestly
Our love makes others so curious
I don’t mind if people think that I’m crazy
Cause lovin you has brought me through all of life’s changes
I don’t really need to look, look any further
I can give all of my cares to you
Now that’s the kinda love you give, make truly wanna live
And I just wanna pass it on

WANTING MORE
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
One touch was all it took; now I can’t get enough
Oh I should write a book, called what love can do
I love the that you call my name you’re the master and maker of my domain
I’ll never be ashamed of the way I feel for you oh no
CHORUS
All I know is I can’t stop myself from loving you, this feeling is real
I’m losing control, you gat me wanting more and more and more
I am addicted to you, and it’s safe to say there’s no turning back, your love is so bad
You got me wanting more and more and more
With one touch you revived my soul, such a peace you gave to me oh
This house won’t be a home, if you ever leave and I will never let you go
I love the way that you make me feel, there’s nothing this good in my memory
I’ll never be ashamed of the way that you hold my hand
If others felt what I feel they would understand
CHORUS
BRIDGE: your love makes me invincible
Your love is pure just like a child
Other people came around to break me [running in and out my life like a run way train]
I aint mad atchu' aint got nothing but love for you
But your love got the best of me
And I’m losing control - Track Name: Music

SHORTIE
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
No matter where you from, and no matter where you’ve been
Don’t care about your colour skin
Just take my hand lets climb those hills together
I know what’s been said what’s been placed inside your head
You’re worthless you’re dirty you’re hopeless unworthy of love
I’m here to let you know that I’ve been there
And I thought that no one cared
I was the quickest one to fake a smile
Because a smile can make things seem alright
Now don’t you turn and walk away
Lift your head up high cause you are beautiful
CHORUS
Well I ‘m not here to judge you shorite I just wanna love you shortie
The Father showed me love so shortie I’m gonna love on you
We’re not here to judge you shortie we just wanna love you shortie
Jesus showed us love so shortie you can lean on me
Vrs2
Whenever you’re sad
Don’t you think twice to call me
It’s not about giving you sympathy
Don’t you let your pride be-come the catalyst of your brokenness
[Pride comes from the enemy to take love, peace and joy from where it suppose to be]
Now let’s get something straight you can’t overcome without faith
I’m not trying to preach to you and I’m not trying to bore you
Don’t let nobody tell you you’re no good
No matter if you from a bad neighbour hood
I wouldn’t change a thing about you even if I could
God made you perfect just the way you are
CHOROUS
Bridge
I know that you’re hurting cause I was right there where you are
It’s ok to cry, joy comes in the morning
I won’t let you give up come on just take my hand
Let me introduce you to someone - Track Name: Purpose by design

PURPOSE BY DESIGN
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
Every rhyme has a reason purpose by design
And every fruit has a season which its governed by
There’s a time to laugh my baby sho’ nuff a time to cry
There a time for the rain and there’s a time for the sun to shine
Every deed is rewarded, so/ I’m here to let you know
Be careful with the seeds that you throw
Cause you know someday you gonna reap what you sow
All the pain try to let it go don’t take everything so personal
If it’s broke we can fix it if its lost we can look till we find it
Chorus
Hold on
Things will turn around my friend
Hold on
I prayer God gives you strength just to
Hold on
Every rhyme has a reason
A purpose by design
Don’t try to run away and hide
Hold on
Vrs2
Every man’s love perception differs by the way he’s been loved before
Not tryin to make an excuse though
An eye for an eye neva make things beta no
As sure as God dwells above
All that was broken can be mended if we learn to Love
Not talking bout the man made sexual love
I’m talking bout God’s old fashion Love
Every deed is rewarded
And I’m here to let you know
You don’t need to keep going in circles
Trust God to see you through listen
There are times you should speak out loud
But there’s a time you should shut your mouth
If it’s broke we can fix it
If it’s lost we can look till we find it

AMAZING
Written and performed by Ryan Lewis
All rights reserved © 2010 ryan lewis
It’s crazy that I feel the way I do
And girl it’s all because of you
Baby you’ve turn my world around
I appreciate you
I know it don’t seem that way when I make you cry
But you’ve gotta know I’m torn up inside
I can be so difficult the testosterone makes it so typical
Don’t wanna drive you away
Cause’ God knows how much I really need you here
Oh baby I would lose my mind without your love
Chorus
Amazing girl you are for choosing to love me
Oh baby I officially give my love to you
Amazing girl you are for choosing to stay
You’re number one in my world.
Kendra tonight
The things that I’m gonna do to your body would be sinful
If I didn’t marry you
You look so good from head to toe
Self conscious for no reason at all
Those girls in the magazines can’t come close to you
Girl I know sometimes we don’t see eye to eye
And it feels like our polarities switch
I tried to run away so many times
But love brings me right back to you
My heart belongs to you for sure
Everyday I’m needing you more
Baby I would lose my mind without your love
Chorus
Bridge
Oh when you’re away my world ain’t the same no.
Baby your love is so good and I can’t wait till I hold you tonight
I nearly lost you one time when you were having my baby
I don’t know what I would do if I had to live my life without you oh baby - Track Name: That's the way

Chorus
Ohh I don’t know what you came here for but I came here to cut a rug

Well I’m a little concerned, can’t get mad I suppose, I prayer father forgive them cause they just don’t know how you rollin how you rollin
Chorus
