NSIDE (Makoto/Siedah Garrett)

How did you know where to look
Others scratched the surface
Then you read me like a book, Nside

It’s paradise that we’re friends
You seem to understand me
I sure don’t want this night to end
Nside my love

Now my heart and soul won’t rest
Until your by my side
Help me please, I’m in distress
Gotta have you here nside my love

Chorus:
Nside-feel you talk to me
Nside-half the pressure half the speed
Nside-you’ll do what I need
Nside my love

You are the touch that I hear
Wake me when I’m sleepin’
I see your voice loud and clear
Nside
You’ve got a love so powerful
Strength beyond condition…’cause it’s

 Stronger than the sea is blue
It’s deeper than the tide
You’re the light that shines so true
You’re the one that reached nside
my loveChorus:Wanna show you what love’s about
Wanna rock you from the nside out
Wanna fill your little heart with joy
Wanna make you feel like a brand new boy
Wanna love you like never before
I’ll make it so you won’t need no more
Nside nside
Nside, my love

RICH MAN POOR MAN

Philip Woo / Siedah Garrett

Well, you finally see
What it all means to me
So much to leave behind

What comes true for you
And what comes true for me
Happens in a different place and time

Rich man or poor
Which one has more
It’s all the same it seems to me
Rich man or poor
Who gives us more
The future is no guarantee

‘Cause it’s the plain truth
You win, you lose, it’s even
It’s all a game

Rich man or poor
Who’s keeping score
It’s give and take all of the time
Time takes away the pain that’s left inside
You make your own heaven and paradise
It’s something we all can do

 Chorus:

Feel it, trust the way it feels inside
Go on, go with what your heart says is right

Feel it, trust the way it feels inside
Go on, go on with what your heart says is right

Well it’s alright by me
The grass could be
Much greener over on this side

But the choices you make
The chances you take
You’ve got to live your own life

‘Cause it’s the same truth
It doesn’t matter what you do
Rich man or poor
This heart wants more
Than money could ever buy

Time changes all there is to change in life
You make your own heaven and paradise
It’s something we all can do

Chorus

DAY IN DAY OUT

(Makoto/Siedah Garrett)

Day in, Day out
Day in, day out
I never felt defenseless
After all that I’ve been through
Until I had the cause to fall, for someone like you
I used to keep my heart in the pocket
Of my favorite pair of jeans
But since you been gone
Love is far from me

Chorus:

I need you
Day in, day out
I’m always thinkin’ of you
Each stop that I take is for you
Day in, Day out
You know I’ll always love you
Each move that I make

 Always thought the memories
Would in time fade into blur, but
The feelings stay alive inside
I miss what we wereWe knew too much to say to little
‘Bout the way love comes around
But since you been gone, love is far from meChorus
