Bobby Brown Lyrics

A lot of people stumble onto this site searching for Bobby Brown - Soul Artist (Whitney's husband).
I've therefore included his songs as well as mine, and of course Frank Zappa's Bobby Brown.

Across the sea
Bobby

In a dream long ago
I was walking thru some fields where poppies grow
there were hills and there were roads unknown
but I was not afraid at all 'cause I was not alone
lighting up the northern sky
a visitor was passing by

Well it came from far away
and it took me by surprise one magic day
and I know it's right this time
and no mountain is too high for us to climb
it doesn't matter now how far
we will reach that shining star

May I have this dance with you?
and may it last forever too

In a land across the sea
a girl is reaching out her hand and she's touching me
her hand is soft but her heart is strong
and a love as pure as this rarely comes along
let me live my life with you
and we will sail the sea of blue

Half Moon Bay
Bobby

He told me time will tell you so
when it is time for you to know
I'm not everything I'm supposed to be
so quick to jump at the first chance
when I should take a second glance

He told me there will come a day
the sun will set in half moon bay
when I look into your eyes I see
so many things inside of you
inside of me

I see someone
someone I know
not just an actor in a show

He told me at my curtain call
the wind will blow the rain will fall
If my ship should sail
just one more time
you know the captain
will be counting on his crew
someone will be calling upon you

Janey
Bobby Brown

Janey takes the boys downtown
Janey takes them all around
right beneath the mistletoe
at night the clients come and go

So Janey's got a room upstairs
she keeps it for her business affairs
and people with no place to go
strangers no one wants to know
stop and say hello

Janey the world's such a great big place
it seems like the ball is coming down on you
is it love that you sell?
I promise not to tell on you

Janey knows the things you've done
if you're lost or on the run
she takes you just for what you are
you don't need to be a movie star

But Janey'll make you pay and pay
'cause Janey don't give nothing away
she'll make you laugh and make you cry
make you want to ask her why
we live and we die

My Flower
Bobby

My flower's not a rose
I've seen too many of them
my flower grows
when the moon and stars shine
on her petals
flower's one of those

My flower knows
just what the rain can do
and when the wind blows
on her leaves
the traces of the places
no one else would go

My flower has her thorns
but never does she use them
my flower mourns
for all the wrongs
the world has done to others
without roots so deep and strong

My flower's seeds
are growing in my garden
dancing with the weeds
and the lonely flowers I'd forgotten
they are beautiful to me

Paper Moon
Bobby

It was a paper moon
it always ends too soon
it sailed across the sky
without a reason why
but wild geese will fly

and only children cry
wipe the teardrop from your eye
don't ever let it show
I learned so long ago
it's silly but it's so

Winter turned to spring
but it didn't change a thing
I thought you needed me
like a flower needs a bee
but horses must run free

And in a castle on a hill
the king has signed his will
there are bridges that we burn
but the ghosts they all return
when will we ever learn

Only children cry
I really don't know why
a great oak stands so tall
but one day it will fall
all creatures great and small

Waiting In The Rain
Bobby

I was walking by the bay
I saw a ship that sailed away
I don't really know
where it was going to
but I wish I was going there
with you

I was watching children play
in the park the other day
and then I thought about
something you said to me
I wish that we could be
that way

When I was younger
I would open every door
I still don't know what I'm looking for

Now I'm waiting in the rain
I've got a ticket for a train
so many places to see
on that long winding lonely track
I may never be coming back
this way

Don't Be Cruel
Bobby Brown

Uh...Ow!

Girl, the only thing that matters in my life
Is that I'm down for you and treat you right
You've got no call to treat me cold as ice
Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my love to you
You should be givin' me your love, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

CHORUS:

Uh don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Uh no, oh oh, no
Uh don't be cruel
Uh girl, you need to change your attitude
Uh no, oh
Uh don't be cruel

Hey yo' Kimmy what's up with this attitude
I thought I was bein' real good to you
I treat you sweet, take you out at night
But you never say thanks girl that ain't right
I bought you diamonds even gave you pearls
I took you for a cruise all around the world
I treat you high post but you play me close
If I want to drink up you won't even toast

Girl, I work so hard for you from 9 to 5
So you could have the finer things in life
Since you're the kind that's never satisfied
Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my heart to you
You should be givin' me your heart, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

(CHORUS)

>From fancy cars to diamond rings
I've just about given you everything
There's really not much I won't do for you
I bought you 12 yellow roses and candy, too
I like be up front and never play the back
But the way you treat me girl is like a heart attack
I'm real troop trooper and with all the times
That you were by my side diggin' dollars outta crock

Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my love to you
You should be givin' me your love, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool
It just ain't cool!

Ow! Don't be cruel...

Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh...

We used to hang out tough just kickin' around
We discovered a love that had never been found
You gave me your heart I gave you my mind
But a true love affair we could never find
Although I want you bad I could let you go
'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no
But due to fact that I want you, Jackie
I want you more than human eyes can see
But you had to start givin', tryin' to make a killin'
Thought about the dollars I make and you were willin'
To be with me Bobby B., but with a bad attitude I can't compete
Now you know my name, now I know your game
You want to be with me you got to be the same way
That another girl would be and if you wanna be with me

Every Little Step
Bobby Brown

Good Lovin'...
Ow! Yeah!

I can't sleep at night, I toss and turn
Listenin' for the telephone
But when I get your call I'm all choked up
Can't believe you called my home
And as a matter of fact, it blows my mind
You would even talk to me
Because a girl like you is a dream come true
A real life fantasy

No matter what your friends try to tell ya
We were made to fall in love
And we will be together, any kind of weather
It's like that, it's like that

Every little step I take
You will be there
Every little step I make
We'll be together

I can't think too straight, I'm all confused
You must've put a thing on me
Because there aren't no words that can explain
I'm livin' in ecstacy
And you can best believe, I got ya back
You never have to feel no pain
'Cause I'd dedicate my life to you
You'll never look for love again

Every little...woo!
Every little step I...
Every little step (Every little...every little step I take)

Girl...good lovin'...
Good lovin'...

Feelin' Inside
Bobby Brown

You see lately, there's been a funny feelin'
That won't stop botherring me
Your tub is shakin'
Erase it from my heart and mine
But it just don't want to leave

1-I can't explain the way you driving me insane
I can't explain the way you drive me insane
No, I can't
And I can't complain, baby
I can't complain
'Cause, girl, I love that thing
I love the things that you do
When you do what you do to me

I've got this feelin', baby
I've got this feelin', baby
I've got this feelin' inside
I've got this feelin', baby
I've got this feelin' inside

Got me searching for someone to find the
Perfect one for me that I can trust in
And I've been yearning for someone to love me
Just for me, just for me
Well, well, well, well
(repeat 1)

Feel it, feel it, deep inside
(rpt 1)

Now lately there's been a funny feelin'...

Good Enough
Bobby Brown

Yeah
Just like the old times
I know a lot of you all out there can relate to the old times
So this one is for you
Yeah
Listen

If I take you back in the room
Spend you around
My Baby
Take off your clothes and all of mine too
Layed you down
Lay down
We can be discrete nobody has to know
We don't need no sheets we can just close the door my baby
I can take you places you ain't been before
Soon as we get there baby
You'll be coming back for more, 'Cause

If ain't good enough baby
I'll work harder
I'll keep pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart

If I touch your body to mine
Will you touch mine?
Will you touch me baby? Right here
Kiss both your lips and rubin' those thighs
Taste your wine
Let me taste you baby, ahh

I can do it soft or I can do it hard
I can make you scream if you let down your guard my baby
It's not too far from here to extasy
I know you want good lovin
So lay your body next to me

If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart

So moving your angel body
Feels like you caught me in a night
And when the love gets rolling
Start coming without stop
Filled to the brim
I'm gonna trip down to the very last drop

And if ain't good enough for you baby
I'll do it all for you
And I will not stop till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart

If ain't good enough then I'll work harder
Turn it up I'll please you darlin'
Do it up, do it up just for you
And baby I'll taste the wine and give you pleasure
Close the door I'll do whatever
Till I know your heart

If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby...

Humpin' Around
Bobby Brown

When you trust someone
and you know you're on their back
You ain't got no trusting about you
And you claim that you
Don't care what where I'm at
You've given me reason to doubt you
Say you trust someone
Why are you calling all around
Think I've got some dip on the side
Girl you don't trust no one
And you're constantly in doubt
You lose the game, if you play that way

CHORUS:
Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody Humpin' Around (Ain't nobody humpin around)
No matter what they say
No it ain't that way
Ain't nobody humpin around

Nobody x5
Humpin' around babe

When you love someone
And you want to love them right
Got to get more lovin' about you
And you know that you're holding on too tight
Soon they will be leaving without you
Say that you love someone
Why are you calling all my friends
Thinking I've got something to hide
Girl you don't love no one
You don't know what love's all about
You lose the game, (if you) if you play that way

CHROUS

Nobody x7
Humpin' around babe

Girl if you trust someone
You don't call on everybody
Ain't nobody foolin' around
And the more I think about it
You lose all your clout and
You lose the game, baby, if you play that way

CHORUS

Girl you said you love me
And you said you trust me
Why do you think I'm foolin' around
I can't stand the pressure
You know I'm yours forever
Ain't nobody, nobody, humpin' around

On Our Own
Bobby Brown

(Rap may not be exact)

You want somethin' done?
You gotta do it yourself
OW!
Y'all think this is gonna be another one of those funky joints
Heart, soul, d-d-dance!

If I was you, and you were me, you oughta be winning
If you want something better, you gotta wanna keep your all
'Cause I believe, so much do we, they know we're not kidding
If you feel the same as me, girl, you gotta learn to take the fall

Now I find out that nothing is given
Don't know where the cards may fall
All I know is that we gotta get it
We've gotta make it on our own

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
(on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
(on our own)

Can't you see that all we need to be a go-getter
Gotta make your own decisions, gotta go for what ya know
There comes a time in our lives, you wanna be bigger
Gotta keep, keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
(on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta, gotta take it home (on our own)

OW!
Heart, soul, d-d-dance!

RAP
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
They're called Ghostbusters and they're in control
Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children
While all the while, Slimer's under the building
So they packed up the crew, got a grip came quick
Grabbed the coats, all the packs in the bag, and they split
To battle out Vigo, the master of evil
Try to battle my boys? That's not legal

(Oh-we-oh) They're in control
(Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it
I said they're in control
(Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it
(Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
Gotta, gotta, gotta...gotta, gotta, gotta (on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, they're called Ghostbusters and they're in control
(on our own)

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta take it home (on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta, gotta take it home (on our own)

(Oh-we-oh) OW!
(Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it
(Oh-we-oh) Uh!
(Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it

RAP

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control...

Only tenderonis can give special love
A special kind of love that makes you feel good inside

Bobby Brown
Frank Zappa

Hey there people I'm Bobby Brown. They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth are shiny. I tell all the girls they can kiss my hiney

Here I am at a famous school. I'm dressing sharp and I'm acting cool
I got a cheerleader here, wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her

Oh God I am the American dream. I do not think I'm too extreme
And I'm a handsome son of a bitch I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich

Women's liberation Came creeping all across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready when I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddy

She made a little speach then uuh, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the American dream. But now I smell like vaseline
I'm a miserable son of a bitch. Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which

So I went out and bought me a leisure suit.
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
Got a job doing radio promo and none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo

Eventually me and a friend sort of drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
As long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God, I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt 'till it makes me scream
And I'll do anything to get ahead I lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Fred"

Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic. Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic

And my name is Bobby Brown - Watch me now, I'm going down
