Amerie Album

Every single morning
I look at my window pane
I want it to be sunny
But the forecast calls for rain

The rain keeps on falling (the rain keeps on falling)
Oh I want it to stop but
The rain keeps on falling on me

Nobody knows the future
Who knows what tomorrow brings
So I'mma keep my head high
Even if it rains

The rain keeps on falling (the rain keeps on falling)
Oh I want it to stop but
The rain keeps on falling on me

Oh I know that the sun will come out
I know it will come out, it will come out
Oh I know that the sun will come out
I know it will come out, it will come out

You make me feel real good
But it's to good to be true
Sometimes I feel I'm losin my mind
Cuz everything I'm feelin all depends on you
You make me feel better
Than you turn to bring me down
Got me running to keep ya
Know I should leave ya
That makes you the illest thing around

Oh, u got me right
Oh, it feels so right
Still I'm feelin like
I hate to love you
It's like you got me on a roller-coaster
I wanna get off
But I ain't supposed to
I hate to love you
I do
I hate to love u

You're treatin me real bad
And it works everytime
Just when I think about leavin you
Switchin up it's like you read my mind
And I should know better
Cuz even when I say I'm thorugh
At the end of the day
No matter what I say
You know that I'm runnin back to you

Oh, u got me right
Oh, it feels so right
Still I'm feelin like
I hate to love you
It's like you got me on a roller-coaster
I wanna get off
But I ain't supposed to
I hate to love you
I do
I hate to u

(vocalizing)

And babe I don't know what you're doin
But oh you got me got me got me spinnin
I can't get over you

Oh, u got me right
Oh, it feels so right
Still I'm feelin like
I hate to love you
It's like you got me on a roller-coaster
I wanna get off
But I ain't supposed to
I hate to love you
I do

Oh, u got me right
Oh, it feels so right
Still I'm feelin like

Ain't no man to be found
I know you ain't b.s.'in
So just remember that I'm hip to the lip
Before you ask any question
I ain't no young silly girl
So move out of your hard-rappin world
You're gonna be downright shame*
If I found out you're playin any games

Make me believe in you ( make me believe in you)
Show me your love can be true (show me your love can be true )
Anything you want me to do (anything you want I'll do it)
Just make me believe in you ( make me believe in you)

I can't deal with temptation
You know it leaves me with no inspiration
Another man playing on me (******)
May have a hard time succeeding you see ( you don't seem to be)
You don't seem quite like the others
Which gets you respect from me brother
But it will be awful, awful sad
To give love and you treat me so bad

Make me believe in you ( make me believe in you)
Show me your love can be true (show me your love can be true )
Anything you want me to do (anything you want I'll do it)
Just make me believe in you ( make me believe in you)

Hey hey hey hey

Make me believe in
Make me believe in
Make me believe in
I need you to
Make me believe in
Make me believe in
Make me believe in
Make me believe in

So make me believe in you (make me believe in you)
Show me your love can be true (show me your love can be true )
Anything you want me to do (anything you want I'll do it) (anything you wantanything you need)
Just make me believe in you (make me believe in you)

So make me believe in you (make me believe in you)
Show me your love can be true (show me your love can be true )
Anything you want me to do (anything you want I'll do it) (cuz I can't deal withtemptation)
Just make me believe in you ( make me believe in you) (it leaves me noinspiration)

Hey hey hey hey

You just keep it real with me

[chorus]
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it

Because when u feeling low
And u cant get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it

Woke up in the morning
It's another cloudy day
But that never mattered too much to me
'Cause it's still a new beginning
And I know I got it in me
Had my share of ups and downs
But now I know I can do anything

Some people think I'm aggressive
'Cause I know what I want
But that never mattered too much to me

Show me some body with no goal
Show me some body with no control
'Cause life is for living
So go and get it
When times get rough remember

[chorus]
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it

Because when u feeling low
And u can't get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it

Ohh gotta get it
Hey hey hey
Sometimes the road may seem too far
You never really know for sure
If you're ever gonna make it
Sometimes the end may seem so far
You never really know for sure
If u got the strength to make it

But u gotta remember

[chorus]
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it

Because when u feeling low
And u can't get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it

Days like this
Rain like this

Do it cause I love it
Feel like this
Gotta work hard for it

[Intro:]
It's hard for me to say this,
But I got a crush on you.

Come on!!!

[Verse 1:]
I wish I could taste your love, lick it off of my fingertips,
Boy what ya doing to me.
I wish I could save your kiss, for some other girl to taste,
To see the expressions on her face.

[Bridge:]
Whenever you are near me,
There's no other place I'd rather be.
You're like a star that can't be reached,
So near but so far,
You are...

[Chorus:]
I need your arms around me,
Please let me be your everything,
I'll be your girl for just tonight,
Boy don't you know you are my crush

[Verse 2:]
I wish I could wear your touch, like pumps when I'm dressing up,
Without you I'm incomplete.
I wish I could steal you boy, lock you up and throw away the key,
Cause you're the only one for me.

[Bridge:]
Whenever you are near me,
There's no other place I'd rather be.
You're like a star that can't be reached,
So near but so far,
You are...

[Chorus:]
I need your arms around me,
Please let me be your everything,
I'll be your girl for just tonight,
Boy don't you know you are my crush

[Verse 3:]
(I want this sometimes) I wonder could you ever feel the same.
(I get lost in your arms) Nothing else to see, because there's no-one here butme & you.

[Chorus:]
I need your arms around me (You know it feels right)
Please let me be your everything (I know it feels right),
I'll be your girl for just tonight (Boy let me know),
Boy don't you know you are my *Crush* (Oh Yeah-Yeah-Yeah)

[Chorus:]
I need your arms around me (I need your arms around me),
Please let me be your everything (So let me be your everything),
I'll be your girl for just tonight (For just tonight),
Boy don't you know you are my *Crush* (Boy! you are my...)

[Outro:]
Ah Ah Ah Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't matter cause it's coming off
You're so sexy, I can't help myself

I can't get enough no

(Sexy gloss, Matte or Frost)
Don't matter cause it's coming off

Repeat x2

So, so, so, so crazy

Want you to turn the lights off...me on

[Spoken:]
Hey...I know its been a minute...I'm ready

Want you to try to relax...close your eyes
Don't act like you're so surprised
Feel the silk against your skin
Let the games begin

Don't waste time come get me right now
Don't worry 'bout a thing it's 'bout to go down
Don't be scared nobody's around
We've waited so long
It's about to go down

Cause your so
Sexual
That's what you are
Sensual
Ooh you're looking so
Beautiful
It's about to go down
Me and you

Now we're about to take off
It's on
Pressures growing
Going strong
Hold me close and don't let go
Inhibitions out the door
One...judge...no
Tell me what you dream of

I'm everything you thought I was

Don't waste time come get me right now
Don't worry 'bout a thing it's 'bout to go down
Don't be scared nobody's around
We've waited so long
It's about to go down

Cause your so
Sexual
Ooh...That's what you are
Sensual
Can you hear the sound?
Beautiful
It's about to go down
Me and you

Don't waste time come get me right now
Don't worry 'bout a thing it's 'bout to go down
Don't be scared nobody's around
We've waited so long

Ooh ooh whoa

So beautiful
That's what you are
Sexual
That's what you are
Sensual
And you're looking so
Beautiful
It's about to go down
Me and you

You're so

I can see it in your eyes
You don't love me
And though you tried to hide
Hide it from me
I know I can see the truth
So easy to love you in the beginning
And so easy to play the fool
Cuz I was willing
But it's over now

When loving you was easy
When loving you was easy
Tried to make it hard for me
Still I stuck around
I was set on loving you
And no matter what you did
I stuck through it

When loving you was easy
Why'd you make it harder
Why'd you make it hard for me
When I stuck around
Wishing that you'd would come around
Oh, you made it easy for me to leave you

It could have been so easy cuz
My heart was easy to give ya
Like second nature
Lovin you was systematic
Like I was an addict
It hurt me but I couldn't get enough
It's like you hated me around
But when I left you couldn't stand it
And you needed me around
But I can't take the ups and downs
It's one thing that I found
I gotta get over you

When loving you was easy
When loving you was easy
Tried to make it hard for me
When I stuck around
Hopin that you'd come around
And no matter what you did
I stuck through it

When loving you was easy
So why'd you make it harder
Why'd you make it hard for me
When I stuck around
Wishing that you'd come around
Cuz now you made it easy for me to leave you

I gave you everything I had
Didn't ask you for anything that I didn't give you myself
If you didn't want to say (hey hey)
That was all you had to say
Cuz although I used to love you
And need you
You knew that I knew we couldn't last for long
And I didn't mean to bring the choir to let you know you were wrong

When loving you was easy
When loving you was easy
Ya tried to make it hard for me
When I stuck around
Hopin that you'd come around
And no matter what you did
I stuck through it all

When loving you was easy
Why'd you make it harder
Why'd you make it hard for me
And I stuck around
Wishing that you'd come around (but I'm tired now)
And that's why I'm leavin you

I'm leavin you
I'm leavin you

[Verse 1]
Lonely days and lonely nights are waiting for me
But I gotta leave
From the day rise up until the night falls down
I'm losin myself, so I can't stay around

[Hook]
I'm still the girl that you met, you called me perfect
But now you're changin' I'm not good enough anymore
So I did it for us, I wanted to keep your love
You tried to mold me
And I thought that I would please you more

[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over
I tried my best to be your everything
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Oh Ohhh

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and memorize the girl that I was
Before there was us
Hard to remember, it's been so long since she's been around
I gave up myself, and still
I let you down

[Hook]
I'm still the girl that you met, you called me perfect
But now you're changin' I'm not good enough anymore
So I did it for us, I wanted to keep your love
You tried to mold me
And I thought that I would please you more

[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over
I tried my best to be your everything
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Oh Ohh

[Bridge]
I must have fought for your heart
If it was mine from the start
Your love's conditional
Mine I let you have for free
You had a price to your love, and gladly I gave it up
And now there's nothing left
Because I let you change all of me

[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over
I tried my best to be your everything
But you can't
Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

You know what they say
That everything in your life
Brings you to where you are today
I know what they mean
Cuz even with all the bad
I wouldn't change a thing
Cuz it lead me to you
And if one thing was different
I know you'd be missing
So there's no regrets
I can only thank god
For the day that we met

Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me
Yes I know in my heart and I'll try
To give you love
To give you everything you need
You don't even know how much you've given to me so
Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you and that's why

Now I' would be lying if I said
That love wasn't trying
It hasn't always been a piece of cake
We had mistakes to make
Ups and downs
But we always came around
And we're still here (we ain't goin nowhere)
We stuck together longer
That's what made us stronger
And there's no regrets
I can only thank god
For the day that we met

Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me
Yes I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love
To give you everything you need
You don't even know how much you've given to me so
Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me
He gave me you

No one else can do for me the things that you do for me
Said you'll the only one for me
I love the way you're lovin me
You are, oh baby not yet
And it feels so good babe
To know that you love me

Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me
Yes I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love
To give you everything you need
Cuz you don't even know how much you've given to me so
Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you

Somebody up there must love me ( somebody must)
Cuz he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me (gotta love me)
Yes I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love
To give you everything you need
And you don't even know how much you've given to me so
Somebody up there must love me
Cuz he gave me you

Cuz he gave me you (somebody up there must love me)
Cuz he gave me you

When I least expect it
The unexpected
When I wasn't looking
When I had no hope

When I stop believing
When I lost my place
It was there I found you
And I found my way

All roads lead to you
No matter where I am
I know that you are standing by my side
All roads lead to you
No matter where I've been
I know you've aways been my guiding light

And how'd you know that
I'd be here with you ( here with you)
How did you see that nothing could replace ya (nothing's gonna replace you)
Cuz no matter where I turn
Yes it all came back to you (you)
And no matter what may come
I know that you'lll be here to see me through

All roads lead to you
No matter where I am
I know that you'll be standing by my side
All roads lead to you
No matter where I've been
I know that you have been my guiding light

I search to find
High and low
For something that was missing
It took some time
For me to see
Just where my life was leading
No looking back
A new beginning's waiting
And now I know
I never ever have to be alone

All roads lead to you
No matter where I am
I know that you'll be standing by my side
All roads lead to you
No matter where I've been
I know you've always been my guiding light

All roads lead to you
All roads
I know you've always been by my side
All roads lead to you (i know)
I know it
I know you've always been my guiding light

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
All road lead to you

Na na na na na, oh (uh uh) [4x]

Oh, been tryin' to let it go
Tryin' to keep my eyes closed
Tryin' to keep it just like before
Times when I never even thought to speak
Don't wanna tell you what it is
Ooh-wee, it feels so serious
Got me thinkin' just too much
I wanna shout it out, but

[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh

Hey, we don't know each other well
So, what I keep thinkin' to myself
Memories keep ringin' bells (ding-ding, ding-ding, ding)
Hear voices I don't wanna understand (yeah)
My car keys are jinglin' in my hand (yeah)
My high heels are clickin' towards you door (ding-ding, ding-ding, ding)

[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh

[bridge]
And baby, I just can't believe it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
I can't deny it, tired of tryin'
Nothin' left to do but to keep on seein' you
I'm hopin' you can keep a secret for me
Look what you did, yeah, oh, oh, ooh yeah

[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it

You call my phone 3 times
But I can't take you now,

No! I won't change my mind
Can't you understand it?

Losin' you is so easy to do
Nananananana nananananana
Losin' you was the best thing that happen to me

They say you've tried to change
Give you just one more chance
I know you'll stay the same
Sick and tired of girl lies
I used to press you
And I didn't see the sign
But I can't take you now,
Yes I've made up my mind

No! I won't take you back
I gave you many chances
No! I won't change my mind
Can't you understand it?
No! You can't come back home
Under no circumstances
Yes, c'est la vie I'm wrong
Ain't no second chances

REFRAIN

But now you know that this is over
And it's not something you get over
So when you are all alone
Remember how it felt to hold me.

REFRAIN
