Queen By Bobbi Ruffin Good morning, Sunshine This is good mourning, Sunshine Go on Yell, kick, scream Get it out Whatever you got to do Know that it’s up to you You’ve got a right to feel You’ve got a right to heal So don’t let them feelings take over Know that There is joy in starting over Know that Won’t know your expectations til you expect them Won’t know your exceptions until you accept them Don’t know your mistakes until you correct them Don’t know who will leave until you let ‘em Well I can bet You ain’t seen your best days yet, no Work on yourself, love This is self-love And remember that you are the prize, my Queen Hook: Queen Oh, Queen You might feel like Life is ending But it’s the beginning Trust me You’re winning Bridge: Let the words of my mouth Let the words of my mouth And the meditation of my heart Be acceptable To Him King.

Reign By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: I know you love me That’s no question I can see it in the way You’ve been blessing me Now you’re taking me to this place I don’t recognize Oh, Lord just tell me what you’re wanting me to do Hook: Cause now I need you to reign down on me Oh Lord, I need you to reign down on me Verse 2: I want you to trust me But I’m only human And if I knew what you had in store for me I would just try my luck And I would mess it up Time after time I’ve failed you And you’ve forgiven me And you keep giving me these songs But tell me what you’re wanting me to say Hook: Cause now I need you to reign down on me Oh Lord, I need you to reign down on me Bridge: You know every situation God, I’m asking for more patience You know every step I take Guide my footsteps everyday Reign down on me with your power God I need you every hour Reign down on me with your power God I need you Vamp: Reign down on me (4x)

Claustrophobic By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: The walls are closing in I can feel it now Wish that I could run But somehow forgot how My head is feeling light Heart is getting weak Hyperventilation, what’s happening to me Happening to me Could this be love This must be love I’m terrified of Hook: And how inconveniently That my therapy Is coincidentally The cause of my anxiety Wanting to be near The one that I most fear And it’s you What you do, what you did Makes me claustrophobic (La, la, laaaa, laaa) Verse 2: Now, my hands are shaking And I try to hide it Cause you think I’m brave so I’ll just have to fight it I get so excited When you’re next to me But yet afraid to trust you It is my insecurity That just when I give This piece of me I’ll be bound forever Locked up inside your captivity Hook: And how inconveniently That my therapy Is coincidentally The cause of my anxiety Needing to be near The one that I most fear And it’s you What you do, what you did Makes me claustrophobic (La, la, laaaa, laaa) Bridge: I can feel you Even when you’re not there Cause your love it haunts me Such a sweet despair Call me crazy I already know it Oh, your love it makes me Makes me claustrophobic

Temporary Forever 03:14

Temporary Forever By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: Maybe you were right. I’m no victim. I need to stop acting like it. Maybe I don’t know how to love. I tried to pour out all of me from an empty glass. How could this ever last? So, excuse me for trying to pick this fruit off this tree. Though it’s kind of sweet, it could’ve been sweeter. Now I sit here with all these broken pieces of my Temporary forever. Hook: Temporary forever. No one plans on you. Temporary forever. Cause no one plans to lose. Verse 2: Maybe you were right. I remember every time you broke my heart and Every promise you every made, yeah. I counted it all against you, but I held it in Til it festered. Now I’m messed up and stressed up, yeah. So, excuse me for trying to live from this fruit off this tree. Oh it won’t quite right. Cause it wasn’t ripe, no. Hoping things would change, but The more they changed, they stayed the same. I guess that’s the game in a- Hook: Temporary forever. No one plans on you. Temporary forever. Cause no one plans to lose. Bridge: No need to be sad. I’m taking the good from the bad. Remember. The love we had, the dreams we shared, the things we planned. Oh, we might make plans, but our path makes a detour. Nobody said it would be easy. You can believe me. That it’s gonna work out. It’s gotta work out. Cause I won’t sit still, sitting here, with my temporary forever. Hook: Temporary forever. No one plans on you. Temporary forever. Cause no one plans to lose.

Hard Feelings By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: These feelings I’m feeling can’t lie Late at night, crying eyes Baby by my side thinking how’d I get here What do I do, do, do And where are you Truth is I know I went ahead Instead of waiting for you, I ran That was my bad Why was I like that There’s consequences But I’m wishing I could go back To a time when I didn’t know better You didn’t really matter And I just did whatever, like Twenty-two shots on my 22nd birthday Tried one again and it hurt me in the worst way Not physical, but it’s spiritual So much deeper Now I’m laying in this bed All these thoughts in my head Here’s my heart Can we start to get through this Hook: What do I do when I can’t feel you What do I say when I can’t hear you How do I heal when all I’ve got is these hard feelings (2x) Verse 2: These feelings I’m feeling can’t lie Like everybody else has got it together And I’m floating the wind, wondering when Waiting for something to happen to me While trying to make it happen for me I’m so anxious Oh, worry don’t go away Don’t feel like nothing’s working You said it would be worth it So help me hold on Tell me one more time About this plan you have for my life And how this heartbreak is gonna make me Hook: What do I do when I can’t feel you What do I say when I can’t hear you How do I heal when all I’ve got is these hard feelings (2x)

HFD By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: I’m attached to two names that I’m unattached to One from a brother that turned lover And one from a man Who left when I was younger Poor me, poor silly me To think that it would never bother How I see me Or who I claim to be What do I do With all these feelings, insecurities, abandoned Well, anyway Hook: Happy Father’s Day Happy Father’s Day Hey hey hey hey hey Happy Father’s Day Verse 2: Now I can’t stop thinking ‘bout How we didn’t work it out How I’m gonna figure out How to make you love them Girls and boys are calling out They just wanna see you They just wanna know you Is that too much to ask What do they do With all these feelings, insecurities, abandoned Hey, but anyway Hook: Happy Father’s Day Happy Father’s Day Hey hey hey hey hey Happy Father’s Day Bridge: Now I know everybody plays a part I’m just telling you what’s in my heart Cause I’ve been dealing with it from the start And it becomes a part of who we are And I don’t want to be misunderstood He’s working on me, so I know I’m good But since nobody wants to talk about it Imma use this song to sing about it Hey, what do we do With all these feelings, insecurities, abandoned Hey, we say anyway Happy Father’s Day Happy Father’s Day Hey hey hey hey hey Happy Father’s Day

Seasons By Bobbi Ruffin Verse 1: Seasons. Seasons of emotions I never knew it from the start That these seasons Seasonal rollercoasters Had such an impact on my heart First there’s cold and lonliness-ing Time alone is such a blessing Then the sun begins to shine Your love it gives me peace of mind When it rains, I feel the pain Maybe crying may not work But I know that I am able To laugh away the hurt Hook: In these seasons Seasons of emotions Seasons Seasons of love (2x) Verse 2: For some reason I am so lost without you Even though you hurt my pride And though that reason Fails to show itself to me I just try to please you as it hides I read in his Holy word There’s a time for everything A time to live, a time to die A time to laugh, a time to cry A time for peace, a time for war A time for giving so much more Though you may not know His will You just stand there an be still Hook: In these seasons Seasons of emotions Seasons Seasons of love (2x) - Interlude- No matter how I try They get me everytime These seasons, seasons They’re so predictable But you still can’t control these seasons Seasons Sometimes they weigh me down But I can’t live without these seasons Seasons of love

I’m just doing me And when it’s J.A.M. time, I think bout what you do for me Constantly fighting for me when I can’t see And even though I just turned thirty, got me feeling 17 I was lost in love for way too long Then I realized that I did it wrong Love ain’t weak, love makes you strong So now I gotta thank you for my brand new song Things came along and shook my happily ever after Thank you for the reminder that they only get a chapter
