Oh oh my goodness
I didn't know I was here
Do you know my name? (Can't go wrong when you try)
Alwayz got to try
No matter how long that shit take
Yeah, yeah
Uh
Whatever stops you from dreamin'
Whatever trys to stop you from livin'
Flip it

Welcome home
Cuz right now what I got to do is
I gotta amp myslelf up as well as you
So yea, so what it took me like
Maybe 2 years and shit
But I fell in prepared
You know what I'm sayin
And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss
As I once was

So come on
What chu waitin' on?
Feel me, feel me, feel me
What, uh, yeah
What, uh, yeah
What?

. . .


Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through

Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get inbetween
But I see possibilites

And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's realI see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

. . .



But all I wanna know baby is 
If what we had was good... 

Verse 1: 
I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm) 
And I still remember everything you said (mmm) 
I always thought our love was so rare I guess I was wrong 
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone 
(And I'm not tryna hear that sh*t) 

Chorus: 
What I wanna know baby 
If what we had was good 
How come you don't call me anymore 

Verse 2: 
Still light the fire on the rainy night 
Still I invision you holding me tight 
Everybody say 
Everybody say that we should never part 
Tell me baby baby baby why 
Why you wanna go and break my heart 

Chorus 

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die 
If you don't call me Papa 
Oh you gotta try 

I'll get down on my knees 
Hoping you please 
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa 

Whhhyyyy on earth 
Can't you just pick up the phone 
You know I don't like to be alone 

How come you don't call me 
(Repeat til fade w/ adlibs)

. . .


[Verse 1]
I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes u make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on
Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

[Verse 2]
Oh, oh , I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
Ive taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you

I keep on
Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

[Bridge]
Oh baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fall

I keep on
Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Im fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Im fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

What?

. . .


Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)
This pain in my heart that follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (Mmmmm)
Oh my goodness

[chorus:]
Feels like the world is closin' on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared

If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let it go

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place

[repeat chorus x4]

There's no escape on the spell you have placed 
Leaving my heart and my mind 
Foolish am I if I was to try to ever leave you behind 

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love 
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you 
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you 
I wanna rock wit you 

I'll stay and walk this life wit you 
No matter what we may go through 
Dead broke, no job, no house, no ride 
I'm goin' stay right by your side 

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love 
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you 
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you 
I wanna rock wit you 

Don't question where you're headed to, my love 
Don't be afraid, just believe in love 

I wanna rock wit you 
No matter what we do 
Wit you wit only you

You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
Cause baby you know I'm worth it

Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

Mmm
Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a womans worth

Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm

If you treat me fairy
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Cause baby I know you're worth it

She walks the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

Oh
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

No need to read between the lines spelled out for you (spelled out for you)
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong when you value (better value)
A woman's (woman's)
Woman's (woman's)
WORTH!

Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Let's talk about the situation

Just dissin my man and our relations
You say he's cheatin, want me to leave him

Cause I'll be crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no
Just crazy to let my man go
And let some other Jane Doe
Come and try to steal him, oh no, oh no

He may not be the perfect man but I don't plan to let him go for

Cause I'll be crazy to let my man go

Mhmn bye bye

How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

[Fade out]

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for me to live for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

I'm just trying to get over

. . .


[Jimmy Cozier]
Somethin' about the way you smiled at me juss drove me wild
Wish I could know if your alone, don't wanna cramp your style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for a challenge may arise

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

[Verse 2:]
[Alicia Keys]
Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Maybe I've had too much remy, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I'll play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonite

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man

[Bridge:]
[Alicia]
I know all you wanna know is answers
[Jimmy]
Cuz you could give me what I need
[Alicia]
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead?

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and youn say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man

ahhhh...
ahhhhhhhh...

There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all

Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms, they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life

Cause I never felt this way about lovin ...Nooooo
Never felt so good..baby
Never felt this way about love
And it feels so good

HuMmMmM......
Lately when I look into your eyes
Baby I fly, your the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe,
How lovely you make me feel inside

You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

It seems like the likly thing??
From the start you told me
I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I wanna give you everything

You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You and I.....
Are destiny
I know that
You were made for me.

OoOoOh....oh
I can't control it.
It driv-en me
Its taken over me and I
OoOoOh...

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

[Repeat again]

You give me something I just cant deny
Something thats so free
I just can't control the way I feel
And I don't ??
You give me somthing I just can't deny
Something thats so free
Oh I never felt like this.

. . .



Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh 

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

(Ad-lib to end)

. . .


Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty
