Waiting to Exhale – Chapter 4 – Let It Flow

First thing Monday morning

I’m gonna pack my tears away

Got no cause to look back

I’m lookin’ for me a better day

You see the thing ’bout love

Is that it’s not enough

If the only thing it brings you is pain

There comes a time when we could all make a change

Just let go

And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow

Everything’s gonna work out right, Y’know

Let go

and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow

Just let it go

Toni Braxton, “Let It Flow”

Waiting to Exhale – Chapter 2 – Sittin’ Up In My Room

How can one be down, tell me where to start

Cause everytime you smile, I feel tremors in my heart

I have but one concern, how can I get with you

‘Til my day comes, here’s what I’m gonna do.

Be sittin up in my room

Back here thinkin’ ’bout you

I must confess I’m a mess for you

Be sittin’ up in my room

Back here thinkin’ ’bout you

I’m just a mess with a thing for you

Brandi, “Sittin’ Up In My Room”

Waiting to Exhale – Chapter 1 – It Hurts Like Hell

Love was always supposed to be

Something wonderful to me

To watch it grow inside yourself

To feel your heart beside itself

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

When you know you’ve given all you can

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

You do your best but it’s still much too bad

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That’s the way it feels

Aretha Franklin, “It Hurts Like Hell”
