[Chorus]
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
Fruit of life
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
Fruit of life

[Verse 1]
Something in your eyes
Makes the waters ripple
And the leaves fall from the trees
It happens every time
Love so warm and gentle
Sailing smooth across the sea

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold fast to this feeling
Never take the chance and let love go (No no babe)
Here for you and willing
I wanna know your way
Let's take it nice and slow

[Chorus]
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(I'll be here to help you choose your flavor of love)
Fruit of life
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Makin' it your everything you always dreamed of)
Fruit of life

[Verse 2]
Keeper of my dreams
Like the moonlight dancin'
Silver rays across the skies
Such a special thing
When we're two as one together
We can fly so high

[Pre-Chorus]
Night time puts me in the groove
My cares are washed away
My silent mood (Washed away, baby)
Sunlight dares to steal the moon
Look and see how love can be, hey hey

[Chorus]
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(I'm gonna be here to help you choose the flavor of love)
Fruit of life
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Makin' nature, everything you always dreamed of)

[Bridge]
Taste the fruit of life
Shoo be doo be doop
Shoo be doo be doop
Shoop doop
Brighter and brighter our love light will shine
It's the keeper of dreams, wishes fall from the sky
Never let it go astray, no
Silence is beauty and music is love
Happiness keeps you from sadness that once was
Look at you, I see how good true love can be, oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold fast to this feeling
Never take a chance, never take a chance
And let love go, no no
Here for you and willing
Oh no you won't, no you really won't
Take it na-na-na-nice and slow, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Whoa, oh, ey ee hee hey, ey ee hee hey)
Fruit of life
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(I'll be here to help you, if you want it, 'cause you got it goin' on)
(You want my lovin' and I wanna give it all to you, baby)
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Can you feel my love? It's goin' on)
(You got me feelin' so so strong, my baby)
Taste the fruit of life (Sweet baby)
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
(Ya got it goin' on, so strong)
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
(Ah-ooohhh, hahahaha)
Fruit of life
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why
Taste the fruit of life
Don't stop yourself to wonder why

Brownstone

Brownstone is an female R&B trio that came to fame in the mid-90’s. The original members of the group were Nicci Gilbert, Monica “Mimi” Doby, and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell.

They released their debut album From The Bottom Up on Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label. It featured the #1 R&B smash “If You Love Me”.

Before recording their second album Still Climbing, they replaced Monica “Mimi” Doby with Kina Cosper. The second album yielded a solid hit in “5 Miles To Empty”, but the group disbanded before a third album could materialize.
