(Im not that type of girl)
(Im not that type of girl)
I met you, on the dance floor
A time I'll never forget
You took me home and opened up my front door
I felt no regrets
Turn me in, Turn me out, you make me wanna shout
(OH!) feels so good!
How bout the time you were mine
You know at night, you were mine and I was yours
And you cant have me anytime too!
Sex box, sex box
Is that what I am to you?
Sex box, sex box
Come on baby ooh ooh with you!
Last night laying in the bed
Thinking and dreaming of you
Real tight, holding on my hand,
Thinking of what I had to do
Here I am, like a toy,
Now your gonna play with me
Hey you! Come boy,
Give me what you think I need
Sex box, sex box
Is that what I am to you?
Sex box, sex box
Come on baby oooh, oooh with you!
(Rap)
It all started with a friendly kiss
Moved your lips, I couldn't resist
(Like a virgin!)
I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings (Do it! Do it!)
By giving you any misdealings
I wasn't feeding you just a line
I never promised to make you mine
(Like a virgin!)
Don't confuse sex with love baby, (Do it! Do it!)
Go ahead and drive me crazy
Ya comin' at me with an attitude,
tellin' me that I'm so rude?
(Like a virgin!)
Don Juan's my middle name, (Do it! Do it!)
I'm never gonna chill out with one dame
So cool out, stop makin' a fuss
I really don't need to hear you cuss
(Touched for the very first time!)
Askin' me for dimes and rocks, (Like a sex machine!)
when all I want's your sexbox
(Im not that type of girl)
(Im not that type of girl)
(Im not that type of girl)
Theres more to me than by body
That's right I got a mind too!
Its right outta my soul!
(RAP) Let's bust this and make hits babe
A Cinderella shoe made the crowd stay
This is live, I'm on a mission
Not for the Gs, for a livin'
Last name Jackson, first name La Toya
So kick off your shoes and enjoy
Let me see you move that booty
So let's rock the house and go groovy
Come on, come on, come on (ooh!)
Let's rock the house now
Gimme that base
Gimme that base
Gimme that base
(repeats and fades away)
do do, oh ya lets rock the house
do do, oh ya
do do, oh ya lets rock the house
do do, oh ya
Feel the rhythm, give me the sound of
the street
Here the music, come-on get right on your feet

Hes my lover, hes my best friend
Never want to loose him so im doing all I can
Hes my baby, when im with you,
I'd really keep my hands off all the nasty things you do!
From time to time you only play it hard
The cruel game is called a broken heart
Your loosing what you got and
im here to take away
Your still the guy
(Chorus)
Bad girl, watch ya gonna do
Bad girl shame on you
Bad girl steeling my guy
Bad girl you catch the eye
Think it easy, to lead me on
Think you're invincible, your beauty is too strong
Thought im desperate don't get me wrong,
Im determined I will show fight,
Just to get you home
From time to time you only play it hard
The cruel game is called a broken heart
Your loosing what you got and
im here to take away
Your still the guy
Bad girl, watch ya gonna do
Bad girl shame on you
Bad girl steeling my guy
Bad girl you catch the eye
Bad girl, watch ya gonna do
I'd really keep your hands off all the nasty things you do
Bad girl, shame on you, hes my lover, hes my best friend
(repeat chorus)
He appears to
be straight from Heaven
But everybody says there's a devil in those
angel eyes
They try me on for size
(Whoa!)
He opens his
mouth and there's magic
A beautiul smile and looks that
go on for days
But everybody says
(Oh! They say...)
Chorus:
He's a pretender
Doesn't mean a word of it
Out to take a heart tonight
(repeat)
Might as well be mine
Pretender take mine
Now i might be
crazy
but out on the floor
This guy's movin' like he wants to do
more than dance
I think I'll take a chance
(Whoa!)
He moves in close
for a slow one
And I can't believe what he's
whisperin' in my ear
His words are so sincere
(Oh! How can they say...)
(Chorus)
My heart was
made for the lovin' boy
Not for breakin'
So if you think you're gonna
hurt me boy
You're mistaken
But i turned
around and
my angel was gone
I couldn't believe that he'd leave
my love high and dry
Tell me the reason why
(Please tell me...)
(Chorus out)
(C)1983 Chardax Music (BMI)
I'm thinkin'
I've had enough
Of this livin' in the city
(Uh-huh)
I'm thinkin' this world's to tough
I wanna feel soft and pretty
I've got to get away
Where people like to play
They bang their drums
And sing their songs
And dance until tomorrow
(Chorus)
On a night like this
I feel it in the air
There's magic everywhere
On a night like this
We just might fall in love
Oh, anything can happen
And maybe the
city street
Will sail off to the Caribbean
(Uh-huh)
And people just won't believe
All the beauty they'll be seeing
We won't have time to fight
We'll only fill the night
With love for life
And black and white
Will glow with many colours
(Chorus)
Anything can happen
Tropical breezes
always make me feel
Like I've got the world on a string
If you hold me closely I know
you will hear
The sound of everybody singing
(Chorus)
On a night like
this
Anything can happen
On a night like this
We just might fall in love
On a night like this
Come on, come
on
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Ooooo yeah
Oh, anything
can happen
On a night like this
Anything can happen
On a night like this
We just might fall in love
On a night like this
Anything can happen
On a night like this
On a night like this

Some girls never
learn
Like me, for instance
Everybody's talkin'
they all
want to know
Why have I been spendin' all
this time alone
Do I say he joined the Army
Was lost in Katmandu
(I, I, I)
I've got to find a story
That's better than the truth
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Chorus)
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
Fool for love
They all tried
to warn me
But I couldn't see
I was busy laughin'
Now the joke's on me
I said he was the real thing
They told me, "Don't get stung"
What I thought was forever
Was him just havin' fun
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Repeat Chorus)
How do I tell
them
It's so embarrassing
How do I tell them
I gave everything I had
How do I tell them
They said I'd never change him
How do I tell them
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said he was
the real thing
They told me, "Don't get stung"
(Ow!)
What i thought was forever
Was him just havin' fun
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Chorus out)

And now LaToya's most well known song. A reggae-pop semi-hit from 1984! LaToya co-wrote "Reggae Nights" by Jimmy Cliff, you know! Heart Don't Lie *Nobody try things hide (?)
*From what you feel inside
Five long month's we've been going steady
I know it seems like a long time
When I ask the question you say you're not ready
I'm sure it's time for this right now
Don't try to hide it
With words that just aren't true
It's showing in your eyes
I see it, so do you
**('cuz your) Heart don't lie
**You can tell me any old thing
**Heart don't lie
**It won't let you be deceiving
**You know your heart don't lie
I don't want your life, just want to share it
Want the same thing, though I just don't know
So throw away your mask and set your heart freee,
Love's a masquerede, girl, can't you see
Why try to hide it with words that just aren't true?
You know you want me 'Cause I feel it and so do you
Brother, you're looking nice
Love me, and your heart don't lie

Somewhere (Sandstrom/Price/Scher)
Once upon a time
there were two people so in love
that nothing in the world
could break the spell
when they woke up from the dream
and we went our separate ways
you know through the years
Ive always loved you
I spend my time just thinking of you....
But I believe in the love we have
was meant to be
and I pray that you get the same feeling
when you think of me
cause I know that somewhere
we'll be together
somehow we'll meet again
we've had a love of a lifetime
how could we let it end?
Somewhere we'll be together
somehow, someway,
cause I'll never stop loving you
and I know that your waiting there
Somewhere.
Maybe I'm a fool for holding on so long
but I never felt the way I did with you
when I close my eyes its yesterday once more
and were laughing in the rain together
and dancing on our cloud for ever more
you say you found a special love just in time
but if I had to wait for ever I don't mind
Chorused repeat..
Now the autobiographical "He's My Brother". Which brother could she possibly be referring to? He's My Brother (Jackson/Gordon/Monn)

You may say he does crazy things (OhOhOh!)
He works hard for the money that he brings
Bad and Thriller, he's still the Man in The Mirror
'Cause he's good to ME! and I know...
and I know

'Cause he is my brother
Whenever he has to he's heavy
'Cause he is my brother (He's my brother)
He gives me emotion in plenty (?)
When I'm alone...
...and I need him
He's with me like lightning
'Cause he is my brother
and I love
and I love yes i love him so
He-He-He's not bad!
(He's not bad!)
Oww~!
Out on stage he's electric
When he dances it's just like magic
And you know when he starts to sing (OhOhOh!)
He is reaching the world with his music
Bad and Thriller, he's still the Man in The Mirror
'Cause he's good to ME!
and I know (and89 I know)
and I know 'cause he loves me so
'Cause he is my brother (He's my Brother)
Whenever he has to he's heavy
'Cause he is my brother (Oh Yeah)
He gives me emotion in plenty (?)
When I'm alone...
...and I need him
He's with me like lightning
'Cause he is my brother
and I love (and I love)
and I love yes i love him so
He's not bad!
(He-He-He's not bad!)
Oww~!
'Cause he is my brother (He's my Brother)
Whenever he has to he's heavy
'Cause he is my brother
He gives me emotion in plenty(?)
When I'm alone...

You Blew (Full Force)
Yeah, I like this
(Full Force: I know you do)
Once more, you're rushing out my door
I guess you got exactly what you came here for
You're such a bore!
Three times, I call your beeper number
I guess you left it off again
Maybe you just want
A plaything or a friend
(FF: Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
Chorus:
Hike your Nikes 'cuz I'm through with you
You're just another boy I thought I knew
You know what time it is so bust the move
I think it's time I found somebody new
(Yes, right) YOU BLEW!
(FF: Check it out
In-the-place-to-be)
Such a shame, why must we play this game?
Don't think I can trust ya, 'cuz men are all the same
(FF: Can't live with ya, can't live without you)
(Oooooh)
We was cool, we lived by our own rules (live by our rules)
December lovers, you played me for an April fool
Don't waste my time if you're running those same old lines
(Ow, baby)
(FF: Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
Chorus:
Hike your Nikes 'cuz I'm through with you
(I'll waste my time no more)
You're just another boy I thought I knew
You know what time it is so bust the move
I think it's time I found somebody new
YOU BLEW!
(FF: Yeah-y-yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on take it to the bridge)
FF: One more chance is all i need from you
It's time to find somebody knew
My waiting days are over
Simply put, YOU BLEW
Rap:
Believe that
FF: Believe what?
What, did I stutter?
FF: Check it out, butter
Broken hearts can mend, friend
But don't depend on this Toy
To get you what you want, Boy
Cuz that aint' right.
F.F. got my back
Just in case you act wack
To treat you like you should
Understood?
Good!
(FF: Get busy)
Chorus:
Hike your Nikes 'cuz I'm through with you
You're just another boy I thought I knew
You know what time it is so bust the move
I think it's time I found somebody new
YOU BLEW!
(Bow Legged Lou of Full Force: Hey, baby, I'll teach you your ABCs
I'll be there
Just like your brother used to say:
"I want you Back".... back..... back....
Oooh, baby! Oooh, baby!
Who, Me?)
