Embed: And when God blesses us I want a Lexus
With a hide-away mansion in the Hamptons

Girl you must have lost your way from Heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl your like the star I view so high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl your like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

Look at us, living luxury
And I been thinking maybe we should start a family
A girl for you, and a boy for me
Matching stones, separate guests, would you marry me baby?
And if you'd have me, I'd gladly give my life
Today I'd take this vow to make you my wife
Nothing temporary, you know it's quite contrary
Just you and me, for eternity

Girl you must have lost your way from Heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl your like the star I view so high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl your like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me

Ma-ma my baby
Ma-ma my baby
Ma-ma my baby
Yeah yeah yeah
Ohh ohh yeah
Louie Louie Louie
Yeah yeah yeah
Girl I love you

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
Girl if you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
Girl if you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to meLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

More Than a Woman Lyrics

Listen

Looking back, reminiscing on
Caught a brother doing bad, and you put me on
You told me not to be ashamed of what I got
Never mind them hatein' niggas up and down the block, babe
Held it down, and the bills got paid
Said, "Go ahead baby, do your singin' thang"
And when God blesses us I want a Lexus
With a hide-away mansion in the Hamptons

Girl you must have lost your way from Heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl your like the star I view so high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl your like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

Look at us, living luxury
And I been thinking maybe we should start a family
A girl for you, and a boy for me
Matching stones, separate guests, would you marry me baby?
And if you'd have me, I'd gladly give my life
Today I'd take this vow to make you my wife
Nothing temporary, you know it's quite contrary
Just you and me, for eternity

Girl you must have lost your way from Heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl your like the star I view so high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl your like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me

Ma-ma my baby
Ma-ma my baby
Ma-ma my baby
Yeah yeah yeah
Ohh ohh yeah
Louie Louie Louie
Yeah yeah yeah
Girl I love you

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
Girl if you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
Girl if you take that back, there would be no cure
I'd sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me

Calvin Richardson

A former member of the group, Undacova, Calvin Richardson's sound is mellow soul with a gospel singing style not copied by many of his peers.

Calvin is also known as C-Rich to his fans. His debut solo album was 1999's 'Country Boy'. In 2003 he released his sophomore effort '2:35PM'.

Calvin's third album, When Love Comes, was released in 2008.


North Carolina native Calvin Richardson is a gritty, gospel-minded urban contemporary/neo-soul vocalist and songwriter whose influences have ranged from Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack, Donny Hathaway, and Marvin Gaye to Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo, and R. Kelly. Like other neo-soulsters who emerged in the '90s and 2000s, Richardson looks to different R&B eras for inspiration. The classic soul of the '60s and '70s has had an impact on his singing and writing, but so have the urban contemporary and hip-hop of the '80s, '90s, and 2000s. At times, Richardson can be flat-out retro; some of his material would have been right at home on an old Stax or Motown LP from R&B's pre-'80s, pre-urban contemporary, pre-hip-hop era. But other times, he has a more modern, hip-hop-influenced outlook. In other words, the Southerner has some songs that are quite friendly to urban radio, and others that would be too old-school for urban radio.

Born and raised in Monroe, NC (where he was the fifth of nine children), Richardson had a very musical upbringing -- one that included a steady diet of R&B and African-American gospel. Richardson's mother led a local gospel group called the Willing Wonders, and he sang with them consistently. When he wasn't listening to gospel, Richardson listened to secular soul and funk -- and his favorites included Bobby Womack, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, and the Gap Band. Richardson, in fact, has cited all of those artists as early influences. North Carolina's gospel circuit is where, as a kid, Richardson met longtime friends Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and his brother Joel "JoJo" Hailey, who went on to achieve urban contemporary stardom in the early '90s as members of the vocal group Jodeci; subsequently, the siblings recorded for MCA as the duo K-Ci & JoJo.

When Jodeci hit big, their success inspired Richardson to form his own urban contemporary vocal group, Undacova (whose song "Love Slave" appeared on the New Jersey Drive soundtrack in 1995). Undacova (as opposed to Undacover) didn't last long, and Richardson went on to become a full-time solo artist. His first solo album, Country Boy, was released on Uptown/Universal in 1999; after that, he switched to Hollywood Records and recorded his second solo album, 2:35 PM, which came out in 2003. Richardson switched to Shanachie Records for his next three albums: 2003's When Love Comes; the 2009 tribute album Facts of Life: The Soul of Bobby Womack; and his 2010 effort, America's Most Wanted. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
