Lyrics

One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out, check it out
One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out, check it out
Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shinin'
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver linin'
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It's not part of my destination
Ooh
Ooh
I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things and all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinkin' that I want to get too close to you
Check it out, check it out
Check it out, check it out
Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waitin'
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer
I'm clearly statin'
I need to change this circumstance
You could be the best damn thing that hasn't happened yet to me
(You could be the best thing)
You could be the best thing to come into my mythology
(You could be the best thing)
We could have the kinda dream they call a great affinity
(You could be the best thing)
I want to turn it into something like reality
Hold me now
I'm tired of waitin'
Hold me now
I'm askin' you
Hold me now
No more anticipatin'
Why won't you come to my rescue?
(Won't you come to my rescue)
(Come to my rescue, yeah)
Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles
The sun comes blastin'
I wish that feelin' of contentment
Would be everlasting
I would be so happy
To give him all my dedication
I would be so happy
But it's only my imagination
Ooh
This is for the womankind
Ooh
Singin' for the womankind
Ooh
That's right for the womankind
Ooh
(Here comes Nadirah)
How many doors must I go through?
These constant dreams that I pursue
I can see possibilities in you
Yeah here we go again
Is is too good to be true?
I had this thing called love
Still don't know what it is
Maybe I've had enough
Oh save me please
All my wants are becoming needs
Tell me what you feel
Stripped bare for you to see
Yeah every desire go through the fire
This is what I give of me
If I could just be free
Baby won't you rescue me?
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Every desire go through the fire)
Lay me down, I wanna be
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
Under your skin
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
Lay me down, I wanna be
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
Under your skin
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Every desire go through the fire)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
(Baby won't you rescue me?)
