Sometimes we don?t talk about problems thinking they will just disappear. We think if we put it into words we will make it real. But if we communicate and work on the relationship, things will improve.

I knew a relationship wasn?t working but I didn?t say anything for a long time. But it didn?t help so I wrote this song to give me strength to communicate regardless of outcome.

WORTH IT
(Words and music by Nomi Yah)

(Intro)
It?s going to be worth it working it out

(Verse 1)
I don?t want to tell you doubts I have in me
I don?t want to bring them to actuality
Maybe I just don?t want to lose you, oh no
But working it, it out isn?t easy

(Chorus)
It?s going to be worth it living in a better time than now
It?s going to be worth it doing the best that we know how
It?s going to be worth it working it out
It?s going to be worth it working it out

(Verse 2)
When we fight each other, baby, when we disagree
When nobody?s listening and nobody can see
No matter how long you?ve known somebody
You never know them completely

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Running away would be easier than learning to stay
Could I live with myself every day
Wipe the slate clean
Forget what you mean
Forget what you've been
Forget what we?ve seen
Forget what we dreamed
Ah, but I have a feeling that

(Chorus)

The beginning of a relationship is casual. But the attraction grows stronger and more captivating. Compares a lover's eyes to an aphrodesiac.

APHRODISIAC
(Words and music by Nomi Yah)

(Verse 1)
Remember on that first night? Remember the waterside?
I was high, you were fine. How could I change my mind?
I never guessed that you?d last maybe a time or two.
Some little thing you do made me get into you.

(Chorus)
Your eyes deep and black are like an aphrodisiac
Your eyes deep and black are an aphrodisiac
Your eyes deep and black are an aphrodisiac
Aphrodisiac

(Verse 2)
I like the way that you walk your walks. I like the way that you talk your talks
I like the way that you lock your locks. Like the way that you toss your locks
I like buying you shoes and socks. Like being with you on your walks
Like buying you heart shaped rocks. Like being inside your pockets

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
You say you?re so picky who you?re gonna kick kick it with
It?s so tricky who you?re gonna click click it with
You know quicky who?ll make your bic flicky
And you know quicky who?ll make your cricket click-it
In the big city, who?s a little bit of pretty
Not a bit of pity, not a little nitty gritty
Not a bit sicky, not a bit rick rickety
Cuz you?re so persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be no-diggety, got to be no ambiguity
Got to be connectivity, got to be how come you picked me
And I love that you picked me though I loved you secretly

(Chorus)

(Music by Nomi Yah, lyrics by Nomi Yah & Xsample)

(Verse 1)
Remember on that first night? Remember the waterside?
I was high, you were fine. How could I change my mind?
I never guessed that you?d last maybe a time or two.
Some little thing you do made me get into you.

(Chorus)
Your eyes deep and black are like an afrodesiac
Your eyes deep and black are an afrodesiac
Your eyes deep and black are an afrodesiac
Afrodesiac
Pump it up and mek dem feel the action
Tell the woman sey mi gie har love and affection
Pump it up and mek dem feel the action
Tell the woman sey mi come from the Caribbean
Pump it up

(Verse 2)
I like the way that you walk your walks. I like the way that you talk your talks
I like the way that you lock your locks. I like the way that you toss your locks
I like buying you shoes and socks. Like being with you on your walks
Like buying you heart shaped rocks. Like being inside your pockets

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
From the way yu si mi walk yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi dress yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi locks yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu hear mi chat yu know sey mi a Jamaican
You say you?re so picky who you?re gonna kick kick it with
It?s so tricky who you?re gonna click click it with
You know quick who?ll make your Bic flicker
And you know quick who?ll make your Cricket click-it
In the big city, who?s a little bit of pretty
Not a bit of pity, not a little nitty gritty
Not a bit sickly, not a bit rick rickety
Cuz you?re so persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be no-diggety, got to be no ambiguity
Got to be connectivity, got to be how come you picked me
And I love that you picked me though I loved you secretly

(Chorus)
