Jody Watley - The Passion Lyrics






A passion for living, a passion for life

You came into my life
When I was lost and all alone
With no one to call my own
You made me feel alive again
You've got me burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, yeah
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, yeah yeah

Passion

You made me feel alive again
Live a life again
It's fire

The passion
The passion
Passion

I've been in love before
And you're more than just a friend
I never thought that I'd love again
But my heart is burnin' for you
Your love is full of fire
Burnin', only you I desire

Passion

You made me feel alive again
Live a life again
It's fire

A passion for living, a passion for life
The passion
A passion for living, a passion for life
The passion

Take this out, listen
Love is a journey that takes us through life's ups and downs and highs and lows
Love is a desire that burns inside of each and every one of us, you see we all need love
So on this journey called life we celebrate and learn from each other's differences
As we continue to be full of fire, full of life

The passion
The passion
Love is journey
The passion
The passion

You made me feel alive again
Live a life again
It's fire
You made me feel alive again
Live a life again
It's fire, fire

The passion
A passion for living, a passion
The passion
A passion for living, a passion for life
Keep the passion burnin' bright

  4. j.... ....

    This is rubbish,sorry

    j.... ....

    jamesdavidkmoss Lol .. it’s a song about living life with passion that struck a sour note with you .. not that it matters to you beyond loving the song with a positive message and the atmosphere of the video - it’s super special we were in heavy rotation on Soul radio in the U.K. .. Top 3 and the previous single “The Mood” at 2 not an easy feat to launch a new group.. throughout my career I’ve always understood nothing I do is for everyone in a career with longevity - decades. True to myself .. I’m good with that! Much love. Onward as I continue to be full of love, full of life, fire .. passion .. and beyond! 💃🏾✨Wishing you the same.

    j.... ....

    @Jody Watley thanks for you reply,they is no sour note,i just don't like the song,same old same old and boring tbh.eoungh said.

    j.... ....

    Maybe my next song I will title “They Can All Kiss My Ass” a celebration of being badass and living life dedicated to naysayers - maybe get a rapper to kick a verse or two? I’m
    always doing different things - and there’s nothing like to this in the Jody Watley catalog actually and in an era of few feature group / band projects as well, nothing same ole - but stay tuned lol and thanks for the visit and views - much love! Not mad at all, and I’m ok with being boring. Like Lizzo - I’m 100 % that B*tch 😘💃🏾 Keep your passion burning bright!

    That's a sexy song. Smooth & mellow.

  14. C.... O....

    Great!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. E.... O....

    Having been a Jody fan from the Shalamar day’s, I knew I was gonna vibe with this track. But then *BAM*! Jody and SRL hit us with the delicious aural vibes and video. I’m all about diversity from race to age to individual styles. Magical! I’m so glad you’re still in it, Jody! Much love from SF 💙

  16. T.... J....

    Do it Jody! I love her music

  17. g.... b....

    I been a fan since "I'm looking for a new love."

  18. s.... k....

    Keep pushing girl...35 years plus!!!

  19. T.... ....

    Very nice💗

  20. L.... C....

    Jody, I think this style of music is your sweet spot. It's so dope and chill.

  21. T.... ....

    Just heard this on "Smmoth Jazz Global Radio" !!!! LOVE IT !!

  22. m.... ....

    What happened to Rosero? He's not in the facebook pics you all post anymore....

    m.... ....

    Jody Watley trolls....they entertain me so. All that this guy mreynol1 is saying is really silly, borderline stupid. He only liked your first two albums but hated...well, not hate but wasn't a fan of all the rest but posting under an SRL single, asking questions of a group member, saying the other member voice is good. That would be like me saying "I liked the first season of the Walking dead, but never watched any other season" but start talking about characters of the present season but for me it was your others material that followed, Especially 'Midnight Lounge" lime the cuts "whenever" such a great inspirational house song and "Clouds" which is so foretelling of this troll, a cloud that loves to bring you down but not even the inquisitive manner of this troll can do so. He's says he's a fan of only your first two albums but commenting under a SRL thread did he get lost from the Jody Watley and Jody Watley's Larger than life YouTube thread? Did his GPS stop? Lol. Yes Miss Watley as I said Midnight Lounge was my album it was such a great storytelling disc and on point to where i was in life. I still play "Whenever" when I'm getting ready to hit the clubs. I also love Waiting on vain. Girl, yoy captured the perfect romantic essence Mr. Marley missed and the video was the icing on the cake and I'll have two slices! Lol! Miss Jody Watley keep working us and you have my unlimited support!

    m.... ....

    Alice N Wonderworld They are trolling / shading me so they won’t .. 😎😘

    m.... ....

    @mreynol1It didn't take long for you to show your true colors. You're a nosy troll.

    m.... ....

    mosue Exactly lol .. a non fan (liked nothing since 89, it’s like if I shopped at store once decades ago I’m not a customer lol .. Ias I said to him or her I’m fine if they only liked my first two albums and not sure why they even be curious about this project.. and asking when our album is coming but yet watching FB posts but asking questions under a video from 2018 .. about what’s going on in 2019 — it’s clear what’s going on here. I’m like Alice why ask FB questions on Youtube? 🤔.. — basically a watcher / trolling you’re right. If he’s a fan of Rosero’s he should already be following him. Rosero has pages on Instagram (tophatro), Twitter and Facebook, as I mentioned. Rosero also has his own YouTube channel for his choreography. You can comment on my page and posts anytime, and anyone saying get off their post is incorrect, I have control over this page and thread and delete or ban if I choose, but I know trolls, naysayers, the curious (some people pretend to care to get a better seat .. great quote) always return one way or another. I appreciate your love and support! 🌹❤️🎶 Good vibes and like the song message here’s to living life with passion! 🔥🎶

    m.... ....

    K.... B....

    Kim Bossing I wrote the lyrics to “Full of Fire” and lyrical melody and it is a tiny nod but created a new song entirely - a passion for living and life! I’m so happy about the success of the single in the UK and breaking a new group as a side project to my ongoing solo career!

    K.... B....

    J.... W....

    Hey Girly . keep rockin it! Much love Jody ...

    J.... W....

    I couldn't have said it better myself JW,music has always been capable of being spiritual,loving, positive & uplifting when it comes from a heart that has those qualities & its capable of being a weapon as well to destroy those same qualities..its nice to see you're still on the healing side

    J.... W....

    Jody Watley: This is definitely 1 of the BEST smooth jazz songs ever...you did it again...big congrats...people these days don't realize that having a Jazz upbringing and mindset is half the way to be well succeeded in music...please go on and bring the SOUL (music) back!...

    J.... W....

  83. R.... D....

    What a fucking track...bring that beat back.

  84. A.... ....

    This is some seriously smooth shit.

  85. B.... J....

    Love the song. Tired of dude hiding under the shadows of his hats like some young thug. He needs a new image for the group.

    B.... J....

    Why is hats bothering you, It don't have nothing to with u. People are so fucking judgmental about others get a life. I'm sure there's something that you can improve on.

  86. B.... J....

    Love the song. Tired of dude hiding under the shadows of his hats like some young thug. He needs a new image for the group.

  87. T.... W....

    Man, this song is bumping. That guitar is no joke and Jody and crew is bring back sensual soul music (back in the day - preferably the 90's) and I am digging it - shovel and all!!!

  88. K.... L....

    love it!! & Go SRL. JODY!! inspiring me STILL!!

    K.... L....

    Karter Louis Thank you!

  89. S.... H....

    I was so excited when this popped up, but I’m not really feeling it. Still love ya Jody

    S.... H....

    Keith Coates ~ And you took the time to reply to my comment. Who cares what you think, won’t lose a wink of sleep worrying about what you think of my comment!

    S.... H....

    Wow, What a child like comment, Just saying negative comments why post it, you're not feeling the song, as an artist who would want to hear that. Remember little boy, your parents probably told you if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything.

    S.... H....

    Keith Coates ~ Who you calling a little boy? I was born in 1968 you moron!

    S.... H....

    @Scott H I’m curious to know what is it about this song you’re not feeling? To laid back? The groove is inlock to deep for you? Or the meaning of the Passion you just have not discovered in life to understand this vibe yet? Which is it? Generally, when someone has a disdain for something, someonenor a situation there’s a simple reason of explanation so can you elaborate?

    S.... H....

    @Keith Coates some people negative comments can be like the Sixth sense....don’t even know they’re dead when they comment!😂 ol’ boys comment was very childish!

  90. S.... G....

    #WATTAGE + WALLACE= FIRE!!!

  91. K.... C....

    This video is Beautiful and Sexy. I can't stop watching it. Much Love <3 Jody and SRL

  92. m.... ....

    This song is a real masterpiece! I adore this beautiful video. It makes me so happy. Jody, Nate, Rosero you all came through AGAIN!

  93. M.... P....

    Choooooon!

  94. w.... s....

    I love it. And you Ms Jody.

  95. M.... P....

    Just passionately wonderful!!

  96. E.... R....

    Oh my God. This is beautiful. The intro, harmonies, diverse faces, sweet lyrics. That guitar!! It's likes a 4th sweet voice singing throughout. And JODY -- a timeless and plaintive quality to her voice that gets me every time... every time. So many cool releases these past couple of years, all so different. I feel like Prince would've loved this, for some reason. Buying tonight. You are a treasure, Jody.

    E.... R....

    Eric Riley Thank you so much! Levi Seacer is on guitar - he’s an original Prince & NPG member and has shared many stories with me of how Prince appreciated my artistry and songwriting-needless to say that’s awesome. With this project and everything I do it’s rooted in love, passion, soul and fearlessness and hopefully inspires others too! Much love ❤️

  97. F.... ....

    Ms. Watley and SRL, still bringing the real expression of R&B soul! Awesome video!

  98. H.... ....

    The video is finally here. Nice work...and Rosero is still GORGEOUS.

    #1HitNation On Fleek

  100. S.... G....

    I think the song is a little bit dragging.... You created Rihanna, so it wouldn't be bad if your style went a little bit her away, after all you birthed her whether she knows it or not

    S.... G....

    How is the song dragging? It’s a mid tempo stepping song so can you explain!
    In my opinion it’s fresh, new and different. I agree with you, and many of the Jody Watley fans will too that Jody gave birth to many of these young artists (which your analogy of Rihanna has nothing to do with the song or video) but Jody’s GPS has covered many spectrums of Music if you were expecting her to repeat what others are duplicating that would be a major fail in you thinking so.
    This summer Feel-good groove is something new and fresh from she and her new group SrL that has already gathered speed on the UK music chart which is just one more ‘accomplishment feather’ in Jody’s creative hat for doing something no other woman in the music biz has set out to do and that was to create a new group from the ground up obtaining hit music and recognition and respect from major press. I do agree that Jody’s been a major influential figure for our young major artist such as Rihanna and others but why should Jody have to mimic the young singer when she was the one who created the blueprint!

    S.... G....

    I suppose you thought at the time of its release the Sade single “Your love is king” was dragging, but regardless of what amateur music critics thought, it too, was a hit as well!
    Jody Watley, you and SrL keep doing what you’re doing. Everyone is not going to be receptive to brilliance, but neither did the haters agree with Einstein’s theory of relativity But he’s known as one of the worlds greatest Genius So I think you three are in good company!

    S.... G....

    SMH. Look deeper.

    S.... G....

    U obviously don’t know genuine authentic music.... or anything about the Icon Jody Watley... U must b a new wanna b fan... this is a mid tempo positive groove n yes she gave birth to all the new n old girls who has bit n complimented her style... so my suggestion go u is to do more research on music... and Jody!!!..#thepassion
