Ain't No Mountain High Enough lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

Listen, baby

Ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low

Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far

Don't worry, baby

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day

I set you free

I told you You could always count on me

From that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me

Some way, some how

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you (Oh)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

No wind, no rain

My love is alive

Way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double (Double)

As fast as I can

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough (No river)

To keep me from getting to you, baby

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby (No river, no)

To keep me from getting to you, baby

To keep me from getting to you, baby

All I Need lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

Easy, I'm takin' it easy

'Cause life's too short to give my heart so freely

Simple, what I want is simple

Like fallin' rain, summer and spring, here I am

All I know is lonely ain't that bad

Without the tears and without the past

And memories of how I kept hangin' on

I am all I need for real

'Cause now I see that what I wanted in you was always in me

Real

Silence, it was beautiful silence

After I got over my last heartbreak, it was quiet

Now, here for, what are you here for?

To create complications and take me through changes?

Just tell me now

All I know is lonely ain't that bad

Without the tears and without the past

And the memories of how I kept hangin' on (Hangin' on, hangin' on, hangin' on)

I am all I need for real

Now I see that what I wanted in you was always in me

For real

I was chasin' love and it just kept runnin'

I settled and you wasn't the one

I gave you everything

That's when our love was free

Don't know why you tried to make me pay

What's the reason, boy, can you explain?

I never knew how to love me

Maybe that was the cause

Maybe he's not your fault

Can't blame for what you don't know

Should've never trusted you

But now I know that

I am all I need for real

Now I see what I wanted in you was always in me

For real, for real

(I am all I need for real) And I am all need

But now I see that what I wanted in you was always in me, eeh

Ooh, ah (Ooh)

Oh, yes (Ooh)

That you

That you thought I wasn't goin' nowhere

Didn't you, oh (Ooh)

But I'm (Ooh)

But I am (Ooh)

I'm happy about it (Ooh)

Yes, I am (Ooh)

I was dependant on you (Ooh)

Now I'm dependant on me (Ooh)

Ooh

Burden Down lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

I'm a river, I keep running on

I'm a pillar you got used to leaning on

Underneath it, there's a person

I'm a woman and I'm hurting

'Cause I feel like I'm holding up the world

When I lay this burden down

Who's gonna take it up for me?

When you run me in the ground

That's the day you're gonna see

For all I've done, I'm alone

Just for a moment can I not be strong?

So how 'bout now, oh can I lay

This burden down?

I deliver each and every time

I'm a giver, I don't think about what's mine

You keep me asking, you keep taking

And that's no reciprocation

I shouldn't have to do this by myself

When I lay this burden down

Who's gonna take it up for me?

When you run me in the ground

That's the day you're gonna see

For all I've done I'm alone

Just for a moment can I not be strong

So how 'bout now, oh can I lay

This burden down?

I'm a river, I keep running on

I'm a pillar, you're used to leaning on

Just this once, oh just this once

When I lay this burden down

Who's gonna take it up for me?

When you run me in the ground

That's the day you're gonna see

For all I've done I'm alone

Just for a moment can I not be strong

So how 'bout now, oh can I lay

This burden down?

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(originally by Darlene Love)

Sing it with me, y'all

It's Christmas

Come on Hudsonette's

(Christmas) The snow's coming down

(Christmas) I'm watching it fall

(Christmas) Lots of people around

(Christmas) Baby, please come home

(Christmas) The church bells in town

(Christmas) All ringing in song

(Christmas) Full of happy sounds

(Christmas) Baby, please come home

They're singing "Deck the Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

I remember when you were here

And all the fun that we had last year

(Christmas) Pretty lights on the tree

(Christmas) I'm watching them shine

(Christmas) You should be here with me

(Christmas) Baby, please come home

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

They're singing "Deck the Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

I remember when you were here

And all the fun that we had last year

(Christmas) If there was a way

(Christmas) I'd hold back this tear

(Christmas) But it's Christmas day

(Please) Please

(Please) Please

(Please) Please, (Please) baby

(Please) Baby, (Please) baby

Baby, baby, come home

Come home, come home

Baby, come home

Come home

Easy To Be Hard lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(originally from "Hair" musical)

How can people be so heartless

How can people be so cruel

Easy to be hard

Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings

How can they ignore their friends

Easy to be proud

Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers

Who care about evil and social injustice

Do you only care about being proud

How about I need a friend, I need a friend

How can people be so heartless

You know I'm hung up on you

Easy to be proud

Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers

Who care about evil and social injustice

Do you only care about being proud

How about I need a friend, I need a friend

How can people be so heartless

How can people be so cruel

Easy to be proud, easy to say no

Easy to be gone, easy to say no

Come on, easy to get read

Easy to say no

But too easy to be cold

Easy to say no

But too easy to say no

Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(originally by The Beatles)

(from "Sing" soundtrack)

Once there was a way, to get back homeward

Once there was a way, to get back home

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes

Smiles awake you when you rise

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way, to get back homeward

Once there was a way, to get back home

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) oh...

(Carry that weight for a long time) oh...

(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) boy you're gonna carry that weight

(Carry that weight for a long time) carry that weight for a long time

I never give you my pillow

I only send you my invitations

And in the middle of the celebrations

I break, I break, I break down

(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) oh boy... you're gonna carry

I'm gonna carry that weight

(Carry that weight for a long time) carry that weight... a long time

(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) boy...

(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) carry that weight

Carry that weight for a long time

Once there was a way, to get back homeward

Once there was a way, to get back home

And I will sing a lullaby

Hallelujah lyrics - Jennifer Hudson & Tori Kelly

(Duet Version)

(originally by Leonard Cohen)

(from "Sing" soundtrack)

[Tori Kelly:]

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Jennifer Hudson (Tori Kelly):]

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips, you drew a Hallеlujah

Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Hallеlujah)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Jennifer Hudson:]

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

[Tori Kelly:]

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

[Both:]

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

[Jennifer Hudson (Tori Kelly) {Both}:]

Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah, {Hallelujah}

(Hallelujah), Hallelujah

(Hallelujah), Hallelujah

(Hallelujah), Hallelujah

{Hallelujah, Hallelujah}

I Run lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "Chi-Raq" soundtrack)

Oh Lord

Through the pain

Oh and through the stress

I know somehow

It has to get better yeah yeah

Sometimes you get left yeah

Left with nothing at all

Oh still, I-I know, I know it will

So I'll run, run, run on through

I-I'll press, press my way

Press my way through yeah

When you turn my heart

You know you turn my soul

I wonder how could the world be so cold

But I'm reminded of something old, uh

That the Bible says that one day death and crying will be no more

So I'll run, no, I'll run through yeah

And I'll press, press my way through

Oh I'll run, run on, run on through yes

See I'll press my way

Keep pressing away

Pressing my way all through

Oh I'll run

I'll Fight lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

When you feel you're taking all that you can take

And you're sure you're never gonna catch a break

And the tears are rivers running down your face, yeah

When your faith is low and you've got no strength left

When you think you've gone as far as you can get

And you're too run down to take another step

Oh I will take up the struggle

Oh I know it's a fight

So I'll fight, fight that war for you

I'll fight, stand and defend you

Take your side, that's what I'm here to do

I'll be there to be strong

Oh I'll keep on, keep on the fight

When it's dangerous, takes another piece of you

Everybody takes all they can get from you

'Til you're left with almost nothing left of you, oh ah

When each night is like a battle you can't win

And the pain is like a weight you're carrying

I will be the one to help you carry it

Oh I will take all your troubles

Oh I know it's a fight

So I'll fight, fight that war for you

I'll fight, stand and defend you

Take your side, that's what I'm here to do

I'll be there to be strong

Oh I'll keep on, keep on the fight

I'll help your back when your back's to the wall

I'll catch the tears when your tears fall

I will give it all, I won't give up the fight

So I'll fight, fight that war for you

I'll fight, stand and defend you

Take your side, that's what I'm here to do

I'll be there to be strong

Oh I'll keep on, keep on the fight

I'll fight, fight that war for you

I'll fight, stand and defend you

Take your side, take your side, take your side

That's what I'm here to do

I'll be there to be strong (I'll be there, I'll be strong)

Oh I'll keep on, keep on the fight

I'll fight, I'll fight

Let It Be lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(originally by The Beatles)

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be, let it be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be, let it be

And when the brokenhearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer

Let it be

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they may see

There will be an answer

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine until the morning

Let it be, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary, she comes to me, she said

Daughter, let it be, let it be

Oh, let it be

Let it be, let it be, Lord, let it be,yeah let it be

There will be an answer, let it be, l

Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be

Let it be

Love Is Your Color lyrics - Jennifer Hudson (with Leona Lewis)

Ooh ooh

Just when you think it's over

You're hit with a brand new start

And you found out right there within you

That you never lost that spark

It makes you shine

So show your color

Some say

But Love is your color

Sometimes it's hard to cope

But you'll always know

It comes from inside

Everything else is black and white

Love is

Your color

Love is a force that we can't hold back like

Love is a friend

That will hold your hand

Always right there by your side

Love is a color

Oh it makes you shine

Everything else is black and white

Oh no no no no

Love You I Do lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "Dreamgirls" soundtrack)

Never met a man

Quite like you

Doing all you can

Making my dreams come true

You're strong and you're smart

You've taken my heart

And I'll give you the rest of me too

You're the perfect man for me

I love you I do

Mm I love ya

Never have I felt

Quite like this

Good about myself

From my very first kiss

I'm here when you call

You've got it all

And confidence like I never knew

You're the perfect man for me

I love you I do

You've got the charm

You simply disarm me every time

As long as you drive

I'm along for the ride

Your way

I said it before

There won't be a door

That's closed to us

I'm putting all my trust in you

'Cause you, you'll always be true, oh

I never could have known

This would be,

Oh you and you alone, yeah

Are all for me

I know you're the best

You've passed every test

It's almost too good to be true

You're the perfect man for me

I love you I do

You're the perfect man for me

I love you I do

Memory lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "Cats" soundtrack)

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

Let your memory leave you

Open up, enter it

If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is

Then a new life will begin

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Burnt-out ends of smoky days

The stale, cold smell of morning

The street's lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Sunlight through the trees in summer

Endless masquerading

Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking

The memory is fading

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun

One Night Only lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "Dreamgirls" soundtrack)

You want all my love and my devotion

You want my love and soul, right on the line

I have no doubt that I could love you, forever

The only trouble is, you really don't have the time

You've got one night only, one night only

That's all you have to spare

One night only

Let's not pretend to care

One night only, one night only

Come on, big baby, come on

One night only

We only have 'til dawn

In the morning this feeling will be gone

It has no chance going on

Something so right has got no chance to live

So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give

One night only, one night only

You'll be the only one

One night only

Then you have to run

One night only, one night only

There's nothing more to say

One night only

Words get in the way

One night only

One night only

One night only...

Pillows lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

We ain't spend no time together in a minute

And it's starting to take its toll on us

It's not like the way it was in the beginning

The smallest things can end up in a fuss

I wanna share with you exactly what I'm feeling

And tonight's gon' be the perfect time

So boy relax, take off your shoes and let's just kick it

Now baby take a sip of this clear wine

Let me take off your shirt

Let me rub your back

I'm gonna take my time with this

I know you like it just like that

Right now it's time to play

And I'll do what you say

So lay up on my bed.

Put your head up on my pillow

Come here lay your head up on my pillows

I will do the rest for you

Just tell me what you like

I'm here to satisfy

Don't matter speak your mind

And you will find it right here in my pillows

Come here lay your head up on my pillows

I can ease the stress for you

Don't stop 'til you're complete

I'll keep it coming

Lay it right here on my pillows boy.

Appreciate that you could be so understanding

When I'm working on my music

And I respect the fact that you still got your hustle

Try my best to let you do your thing

I like to do some things that we don't do no more

Take it back to way before

Making so much noise

Neighbours banging on the door

Like knock knock

Nobody's home yeah

Let me take off your shirt

Let me rub your back

I'm gonna take my time with this

I know you like it just like that

Right now it's time to play

And I'll do what you say

So lay up on my bed

Put your head up on my pillow

Come here lay your head up on my pillows

I will do the rest for you

Just tell me what you like

I'm here to satisfy

Don't matter speak your mind

And you will find it right here in my pillows

Come here lay your head up on my pillows

I can ease the stress for you

Don't stop 'til you're complete

I'll keep it coming

Lay it right here on my pillows boy

Remember Me lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

There you are, yeah, you found me

Strong enough to break my sleep

Say you're hurt, say you're lonely

Say I forgot to give you what you need

But I promised you gold, yet I have it hold

I was bound to, I was bound to

I couldn't give anymore, 'cause it's already yours

Look around you, look around you

So, do you remember me

In those moments just before you sleep?

I know you remember me

Swear to me the memory isn't seen

Promise me

That it doesn't make your heart beat

Doesn't make your heart beat

I know you, you know me

Aw baby we don't even have to speak

All you hear, same as you

What you feel, feel it too

All you gotta do is read

Nothing you ever said, that could drive me away

I'm inside you, I'm inside you

So if you make a mistake, let me carry your weight

I'm beside you, I'm beside you

I know you remember me

In those moments just before you sleep

I know you remember me

Swear to me the memory isn't seen

Promise me

That it doesn't make your heart beat

Doesn't make your heart beat

I'm here when you want me, when you want me

There's no place I'd rather be

You may not know it, may not know it

But it doesn't end like this, no it doesn't end like this...

I know you, remember me

In those moments just before you sleep

I know you, remember me

Swear to me, swear to me

You don't remember me

In those moments just before you sleep

I know you, remember me

Swear to me the memory isn't seen

Promise me

That it doesn't make your heart beat

No it doesn't make your heart beat

Test Of Faith lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

(from "Black Nativity" soundtrack)

This love in my heart

Is all I have left

That's not enough

But it's my best

So I'll set you free

Pray that you'll fly

Come back to me

Better than I

You've got my mother's eyes and

You've got my father's hands

And mama can't teach you things you can only learn from a man

Our hearts beat in sync

So I'm gonna be off beat

Until the day you come back to me

In the meantime

I'll be wishin' on stars

Praying for change

And mendin' my heart

In the meantime

Cry myself away

'Cause there's no testament

Without a test of faith

Faith, oh, mm mm

I look in your eyes

And I see myself

But you're so much better

Be someone else

'Cause I let you down

It's time you get up

And fight for yourself

'Cause I messed things up

You've got my attitude and

You've got your daddy's blues

Want you to see love can be faithful and true

Our hearts beat in sync

So I'm gonna be off beat

And hope someday is sooner than we think

In the meantime

I'll be wishin' on stars

And praying for change

And mendin' my heart

In the meantime

I'll cry myself away

'Cause there's no testimony

Without a test of faith

Faith, oh

Hold on

So afraid when you came in this world

I was just a little girl

Lost, trying to find my way

Still searching for myself

Still hurting, need some help

Go, we're gonna get through this thing

In the meantime

We'll be wishin' on stars

And praying for change

And mendin' my heart

(In the meantime)

I'll keep praying

(Prayin' for change and mendin' my heart)

I'll be prayin', ooh

('Til I get to where you are

In the meantime)

In the meantime

(I will trust in things that I can see, other half is disbelief)

I keep prayin'

(In the meantime)

The meantime, oh

(Prayin' for change and mendin' my heart)

Not together, yet never apart

Leave the light on for me

Promise baby I'll be, oh

Hush little baby, don't cry

You'll understand in due time

Hush little baby, don't say a thing

Distance will never come between us

Oh, oh

Hush little baby

Think Like A Man lyrics - Jennifer Hudson (feat. Ne-Yo & Rick Ross)

In love, love, love, love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Jennifer Hudson:]

Why you call me your dream bed

And foolish of me I believe that

You said every king needs his queen, babe

That's why you needed me, baby

Right in between lust and love

You go and mess things up

Now there's no we, babe

There's just you and there's me baby

There was us

There was trust

There was heaven

It changed, I know

Silly you, silly me, silly us, why'd I wait

But in love, in love, in love, in love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

In love, in love, in love, in love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Ne-Yo:]

Now I'mma keep it realer with you now than I've ever been

We shoulda never been, girl we was better friends

You didn't have to tell me, what; where, why and when

Um why I didn't need it 'cause you wasn't my girlfriend

We had a good thing

You would come by and kick it

Give me that good thing

Then after we were finished

You go your way, I go my way, it was whatever

Tell me what in the hell made us

Think this was gon' be better

And now I'm telling you lies

All because I hate to see the tears in your eyes

Of course I want my cake, and eat it too, I'm a guy

And of course, you don't understand

But you would if you thought like a man

But in love, in love, in love, in love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

In love, in love, in love, in love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Rick Ross:]

Time costs money and it's so expensive

Versace linen got these women blowing kisses

Leaning on my auto, she's so photogenic

Can I take a picture, she's my Mona Lisa

Living like a princess in a fairy tale

You know them people up in Barney show and tell

Bentley backing out of Neiman's, seen her pony tail

5 karat yellow diamond, you don't know me well

Penthouse, at the Trump, sit on Collins Ave

She caught an attitude, I had to call the cab

You don't understand this altitude I'm balling at

I'm at the game on the wood where the owners at

So different but the same

Boy, you taught me everything

Yeah you showed me how you think

You're the only one to blame

It's such a shame

That you lost the game you tell me how to play

In love, in love, in love, love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

In love, in love, in love, love

You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

You Will (The Own Song) lyrics - Jennifer Hudson (with Jennifer Nettles)

Sometimes it's not easy

It's easy to give up

You do your best, seems like your best isn't good enough

Don't let that stop you

Stop it in its tracks

Keep moving forward; you don't ever look back

Break down the doors

Break through the walls

You already have it all

Own every breath

Own every minute

Go live a life that's got no limits

Only one thing you need to know

Just never think, just never think you won't, and you will, and you will, and you will, you will

No need to give in

There's nothing you can't take

'Cause what you're made of wasn't made to break

You're even stronger

Stronger than you know

You could stand together or stand on your own

All you can dream

All you can plan

Is already in your hands

Own every breath

Own every minute

Go live a life that's got no limit

Only one thing you need to know

Just never think, just never think you won't, and you will, and you will, and you will, you will

You got no fear to stop you

So live the life you're born to live

Live in the positive

Own every breath

Own every minute

Go live a life that's got no limit

Own every breath

Own every minute

Go live a life that's got no limit

Only one thing you need to know

Just never think, just never think you won't, and you will, and you will, and you will, you will

I Am Changing lyrics - Jennifer Hudson

[from "Dreamgirls" soundtrack]

Look at me [x2]

[Chorus]
I am changing, trying every way I can.
I am changing, I'll be better than I am.
I'm trying to find a way to understand.
But I need you, I need you, I need a hand.

I am changing, seeing everything so clear.
I am changing, I'm gonna start right now, right here.
I'm hoping to work it out and I know that I can.
But I need you, I need a hand.

All of my life, I've been a fool.
Who said I can do it all alone?
How many good friends have I already lost?
And how many dark nights have I known?
Walking down that wrong road, there was nothing I could find.
All those years of darkness can make a person blind.
But now I can see...

[Chorus]
I am changing, trying every way I can.
I am changing, I'll be better than I am.
But I need a friend, to help me start all over again.

Oh, That would be just fine.
I know it's gonna work out this time.
Cuz this time I am, this time...I...am

I am changing, I'll get my life together now.
I am changing, yes, I know how.
I'm gonna start again.
I'm gonna leave my past behind.
I'll change my life.
I'll make a vow.
Nothings gonna stop me now.....
