BRANDY - Have You Ever

Album: Never Say Never


[Chorus:]
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get to their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

[Chorus]

Have you ever found that one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do anything to look into ther eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed you eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care

[Chorus]

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you into my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep

[Chorus]

what a great song!! i just cried.!!

IF I AIN’T GOT YOU

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

And in an world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

Read this...it wud remind u of this song...

"Kung ako na lang sana ang 'yong minahal, d ka na muling mag-iisa...

kung ako na lang sana ang 'yong minahal, d ka na muling luluha pa....

d mo na kinakailangan pang humanap ng iba...

narito ang puso ko, naghihintay lamang sa yo...

kung ako na lang sana..."

Enjoy ppl !

UPLB Main Library, second floor, fifteen minutes past nine in the morning.  I was sitting with a paperback open on one hand and a pencil on the other.  A bookmark lay lifeless on my desk, and a stand fan on my left was swaying its head back and forth circulating the humid air.  The person in front of me, his head half-hidden by the stack of Genetics books he borrowed, frequently gave me looks which to me readlike “What are you reading?”  And so to relieve the man from the discomfort he had been suffering for the past fifteen minutes, I lifted the paperback up to the point that it was already blocking his vision of my face and pretended that I was having a hard time reading the words in the dimly lit room.  Assuming that in a fraction of a minute, he was able to read “Band of Brothers,” I lowered the paperback and continued reading.  Not a few minutes later, someone walked up to me and slapped my shoulders.

“Hoy!  Anong ginagawa mo dito?” he asked softly.

It was James, my housemate.

“Ahmm… siguro nagbabasa?  Ah oo nga pala, nakalimutan ko, maliligo nga
pala ako dito.” I replied sarcastically.

“Hehehe… nakakatawa!  Hindi nga, ano nga?”

“Obviously nagbabasa ako.  At bukod pa doon, hinihintay ko si Alice at
may sasabihin daw siya sa akin.  Dapat nga kanina pang nine eh.  Siguro
natrapik sa may junction.”

“Si Alice?  Si Alice mo?”

“Anong Alice mo?”  Sana nga…

“’Di ba crush mo yun?  Siya ‘yung lagi mong kinukwento sa akin na medyo
patay na patay ka, ‘di ba?  ‘Yung kinatotorpehan mo?”

“Wow, salamat.  Tama ba namang sabihin ‘yun dito?”

“Siya nga!”

“Alam mo, kaya hindi umaasenso ang Pilipinas dahil sa mga taong katulad
mo.  Oras ng trabaho tapos nakikipag-usap sa kung sinu-sino.  Nasaan ba
nag librarian dito?” 

“Oo na, babalik na.  Pero mamaya sa bahay ha?  Usap tayo.”

After giving me a fake punch, he left.  Less than ten minutes later,
she arrived… panting.

“Sana may escalator na dito next year,” was her first uttered sentence. 
“Sorry to keep you waiting, traffic eh.”

“It’s okay,” was my only reply.  But I gave her my sweetest smile to
assure her that she need not worry about her being very late.

“Nag-breakfast ka na ba?”

“Oo.  Ikaw, hindi ka pa ba nag-breakfast?”

“Hindi pa eh, pwede mo ba akong samahan?”

“Sure.”   How can I say no to a damsel in distress?  “Basta ikaw. 
Malakas ka sa akin eh."

She had her breakfast at Chowking.  I ordered for a tray of halo-halo
and buchi for merienda.  After that she requested that we go somewhere
private so we went to the gazebo near the Carillon. 

“Brian, kilala mo si Alex, ‘di ba?”

“Si Alex Villacorta, ‘yung blocmate mo?”  ‘Yung crush mo since second
year college?

“Yup.”  She nodded then a pause.  “Nandoon siya sa barbeque party last
night.  We talked.  Ang romantic nga eh, moonless ‘yung sky pero ang
daming stars.  Sana nandoon ka, kasi mahilig ka sa stars at
constellations ‘di ba?"  She smiled at me.

I smiled back.  She remebered me that night?  Wow!  I don't know if I
was blushing then, and I don't care.  It's the sweetest thing I heard
from her since that morning.

"Anyway," she continued, "doon lang kami sa isang sulok pero hindi
naman sobrang private.  Nung una, kinikilig ako pero nang maglaon, he
started talking about this girl na classmate n’ya sa PI 100.”  She paused
and breathed in deeply.

Uh-oh, I said to myself.  She’s going to cry.

“Nililigawan na niya for three weeks na.”  She took another deep
breath.  Forcing back the tears she continued, “Syempre, I pretended that I
am happy for him pero sa totoo nasasaktan ako.”  Her eyes were already
welling up.  I offered her my hanky but she took out a pack of tissue
paper from her shoulder bag. 

“Brian, it may sound stupid pero and sakit talaga eh.  I know I have no
right to be jealous dahil hindi naman kami pero ang sakit talaga.  I
don’t know why… no, I know why, kasi mahal ko siya pero wala akong
magawa.  Hindi niya ako mahal.  After naming mag-usap, I still managed to
enjoy the party kasi kapag umalis ako kaagad baka ma-spoil ko ‘yung gabi
nila.  Kaninang ‘maga lang ulit nag-sink in sa akin ‘yung mga sinabi
niya sa akin and it hurts so much it’s as if sinabi niya ulit sa akin
lahat nang iyon for the second time.  Mahal na mahal ko siya Brian pero
wala na akong magagawa pa.  The fuse of his heart is beating for someone
else.  Ang sakit!  I know it’s hard to understand pero it really hurts,
Brian, it really hurts.”

She moved closer, buried her face on my chest and began crying.

I enclosed my arms around her to give her comfort.  Her words were
ringing in my ears.  Mahal na mahal ko siya Brian… I know I have no right
to be jealous dahil hindi naman kami pero ang sakit talaga.  I don’t
know why… no, I know why, kasi mahal ko siya pero wala akong magawa… Mahal
na mahal ko siya Brian…

“Sige Alice, iiyak mo lang ‘yan.  Huwag kang mag-alala, naiintindihan
kita.  Believe me, I know how it feels…”  I hugged her tighter.  It was
then that I noticed that my eyes are starting to well up.

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?

Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..

Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like
me?
How can you say you love me?

Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's
boyfriend
can tell her why he loves her but not you!

Man: Okok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is
sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you
are
thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements..

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and
became a
vegetable. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the
content:

Dearest,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No!
There fore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that
I like
you.. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.
Because
of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you.. Now
can
you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you...
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love
you
anymore. Do love need a reason? No! Therefore, I still love you...
And love
don't need a reason.
