[Fantasia (talk):]
I mean I'm not gon' beg you
I see, I see you just ain't ain't actin right
It's ok

[Verse 1:]
Everytime I need someone to be there when I had me one of them crazy days (i
ain't gon' beg you)
Everytime I want someone to treat like they always said they were gon' treat
like (i ain't gon' beg you)

[Hook:]
Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then imma let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you

[Chorus:]
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quiet
But alot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

[Verse 2:]
Everytime I wanna be wine and dine
Takin out on a friday night to spend a little time (i ain't gon' beg you)
And everytime I need some huggin' and some lovin' but it's late and I don't get
nothin'
(i ain't gon' beg you)

[Hook:]
Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then imma let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you

[Chorus:]
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quiet
But alot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

(oooo) said I'm through with being patient I ain't here for you just to come and
(take it when you wanna take it)
You took it all for garanteed (all that good love and all that freaky stuff)
Is all gon'
(ooo... if thats how you is) Then let me tell you this
(take your lame-o tired excuses somewhere eles) somewhere eles
Cause you thinkin I don't wanna hear it (you thinkin I don't wanna hear it)
Stay away I don't wanna get near it
Cause boy I'm movin not only that...

[Chorus:]
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quiet
But alot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more

Ain't gon' beg you to love me
Ain't gon' beg you to hold me
Ain't gon' you to pick up and take me out
I ain't gon' beg you to ice me
Ain't gon' you to want me
Ain't gon' to do things a real man about
 

. . .



Baby you don't pay no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is unpredictable
And I don't want to make you unhappy
If you're not happy then you're free to go on
'Cause I don't want you stayin' around
If I make you so miserable

If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead and free yourself
(Go ahead and free yourself ... yeah)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead to someone else
(Go ahead to someone else ... yeah)

repeat

Again and again I try, I try
Baby don't you know I try, ohoh yeah
But the love I had inside has died
For the love I had inside has died
Oh oh ... wooh ... wooh wooh...

Won't you be a man if it's over
And just admit that things ain't the same
Instead of making me think it's all good
Between us, which one's to blame?
I took a lot too much to handle
Until I can't take this game no more
This love thing is full of scandals
So you're welcome to walk

If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Oh go ahead and free yourself
(Go ahead and free yourself... yeah)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Baby go ahead to someone else
(Go ahead to someone else... yeah)

Repeat

Again and again I've tried
Time and time again, I've tried it over and over and over
But the love I had inside has died
Oh, baby, it's died, yeah .... yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah over
Said I'm tired, tired
Just want somebody to love me
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Said I just want somebody
I had to take it there
I had to take it there
'Cause I'm tired
Ohhhhhhhh yeah!

If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Hey, go ahead and free yourself
(Go ahead and free yourself)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Go ahead to someone else
(Go ahead to someone else)

You're playin' games

Repeat to fade out

Ah, oh, ah, oh

[verse 1]
Ran into an old friend yesterday
Caught me by surprise when he called my name
He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past
Talked for awhile, I smiled and then
Said that he was seeing somebody and
Told me this was gonna last
Showing me her photograph

And all the feelings I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

[chorus]
(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) and it's killing me cause, now I know
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

[verse 2]
We reminisce on the way things used to be
Shared a couple laughs, shared some memories
Talked about the things that changed
Some for good and some for bad
Then he said good-bye and he paid for brunch
Promised that we'd always keep in touch
Grabbed my bags and grabbed my furs
Walked away and that was that

And all the feelings I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

[chorus]
(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) and it's killing me cuz now I know
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

[bridge]
Now the truth is, it hurts
But I know that the fault's mine
Cause I let him go
Tried to get over it, but it's messed up
He's not mine (because I know)

[chorus 2x]
(Truth is) I never got over you
(Truth is) wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) and it's killing me cuz now I know
(Truth is) and when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

I just gotta be honest, I guess
I-I guess, I'm still in love, in love, in love

(feat. Missy Elliott)

[Intro Missy Elliott:]
I don't need anybody else
But you
Come on

[Indian singing]

[Fantasia:]
[verse 1]
Boy
Stop playin tricks on me
Cuz when I think I found the right one
I end up lonely
So don't judge me
Before you get to know me
I don't wanna say your love
Make me your one and only
Ooh

[chorus]
Come on
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I wanna say you love
I wanna be the only one you run to

[verse 2]
My heart
Cant take another heart break
Because every time I fall deep in love
Somebody go and hurt me
So this time
There will be no mistakes
If you allow me to prove myself
Boy I cant make you happy

[chorus]
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I wanna say you love
I wanna be the only one you run to

[Missy Elliott:]
I'm stingy with my man
I'm stingy with the goodies
If you think my style fly then check the way I boogie
This one tough cookie
Richelle told the hotties
Will approve any chic that walks up to my man
Never understand my man be my man
I shut the game down
This dude is mine now
Bring it to the ring
K yo won one round
Miss demeanor and fantasia with the break down

[Fantasia:]
I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure don't need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one
I wanna be
I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure dont need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one

[chorus]
Come on
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I wanna say you love
I wanna be the only one you run to

[Indian singing]

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich
Your mama's good looking
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're bound to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that morning
Nothing's going to harm you no
With Daddy and Mama standing by

Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
And the living is easy
(Living is easy)
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
(Sky high)
Oh your Daddy's rich
(Your Daddy's rich)
And your Mama's good looking
(Your Mama's good looking)
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
(Don't you cry)
Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
Summertime
(Sweet summertime)
Summertime

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

It's about time we had our own song
Don't know what took so long
Cuz now-a-days it like a badge of honer
To be a baby mama
I see ya payin' ya bills
I see ya workin' ya job
I see ya goin' to school
And girl I know it's hard
And even though ya fed up
With makin' beds up
Girl, keep ya head up
All my

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

I see you get that support check in the mail
Ya open it and your like "What the Hell"
You say "This ain't even half of daycare"
Sayin to yourself "This here ain't fair"
And all my girls who don't get no help
Who gotta do everything by yourself
Remeber: What don't kill you can you stronger
My baby mama...

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

Cuz we the backbone (of the hood)
I always knew that (that we could)
We can go anywhere, we can do anything
I know we can make it if we dream
And I think it should be a holiday
For single mothers tryin' to make a way
But until then
Here is your song
Show love to my....

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

[Verse 1]
Just when I thought found me
Someone I can go with just
When I thought I found me
Someone I can go with that's
When my girl friend came to
Me said she told me that nigga
Ain't nothing I seen him in the
Club acting like he wont no
Where around that's when I
Found out that you was nothing
For me another love that you
Said that you said that you had
It turned out to be fonny and
I done gave you the best part
I don't know what else I can
Do to turn you around nooooooo

[Chorus]
You got me waiting you got me waiting
And I am telling you everything you
Need to hear like baby come now you
Got me waiting but I can't keep waiting
On you acting like whatever I will always
Be around cause you think that you
Something like a pimp you can hang in
These streets and it will be all right with
Me ohhh baby now you got me waiting
But I can't be waiting on keep waiting on you ohh

[Verse 2]
Look at me and tell me now if
I can be the last one that that
You think about thinking you
Can keep running out my life
My life my life why is its so
Hard for you to pick up the phone
And call me put a little time in for
Me to show that you really care for
Me remember how you used to say
That nothing comes before me you
No it was a lie because you put your
Boys before me promises promises
They have been broken still I keep
Holding on thinking you would that notice that

[Chorus]
You got me waiting you got me waiting
When I telling you everything you need
To hear like baby come now you got me
Waiting but I cant keeping waiting on you
Acting like whatever I will always be
Around cause you think that your something
Like a pimp and you can hang in these streets
And it will be all right with me but baby you
Got me waiting and I cant keep waiting on you

[Bridge]
There comes a time in every mans life
When he has to do everything his girl
Likes because if he don't choose to
Play by the rules I am sure there's
Somebody out there who would love
Too do me hold me go the extra mile
Like you did when you was trying to
Get to no me do me hold me treat me
Nice and show me all the things you
Forgot to show me cause

[Chorus]
You got me waiting got me waiting
When I am telling you everything
You need to hear like baby come
Now you got me waiting but I cant
Keep waiting on you acting like
Whatever cause I will always be
Around cause you think that your
Something like a pimp you can hang in
These streets and it will be all right with
Me you got me waiting but I cant keep waiting on you
 

. . .



[Verse 1]
The things you told me I
Had me open
Gave you something I gave nobody else
Led me to believe you had had just what I need
Now I see its game guy been dragging my name
You put on a show keep the music slow
Got all up in my ear saying things that I love to hear
Tears came to my eyes but im not gonna cry
Everything that you ever said turned out to be all lies

[Chorus 2x]
Cause it's all good
Didn't care that you broke my heart
It's all good
What u had but u hit and run
Its all good
U mistake my love for one
Boy u played the part just to get my heart
Damn it hurt but it's all good

[Verse 2]
You had her in my car
Like she was a star
Promised I would be if I satisfied all your needs
I feel like a fool
Cuz I trusted you
Did what I didn't want to do
Just cuz u wanted me to
I gave my soul and I
Just don't know why
Couldn't I recognize you were my life
All my girls out there just cuz he say he cares
U can't believe everything that he spits in your ears

[Chorus 2x]

All my girls that have been hurt brush the dirt off cuz its all good
All my girls that have been hurt throw you hands up cuz it's all good

[Chorus 2x]

All my girls that have been hurt brush the dirt off cuz its all good
All my girls that have been hurt throw you hands up cuz it's all good

. . .



Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done, oh
I just never took the time, oh yeah oh yeah
You were always on my mind, oh oh yeah
You were always on my mind

Baby
Tell me..
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died, oh yeah
Baby, give me..
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Because you were always on my mind
Oh, oh yeah

Oh yeah
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind yeah
Oh, you
Every day that we have
You were always on my mind
Oh yeah
You were always on my mind

. . .

Oooohhhh
This is me
[speaking] this is who I am..

[verse one]

I'm still tryna make it out
Cause i'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down cause i'm so deep in the struggle
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought I found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

[chorus]

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (ohhhohhh)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok (be ok)
I don't really care what the people say
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause I gotta be
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah

[verse two]

Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while i'm tryna sing
Hope I hit it big so I can send for my daughter
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought I found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

[chorus]

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (make a way)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok (ohhhohhh)
I don't really can what the people say (oh yeah)
Cause this is me (this is me yeah)
A mother (mother), a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause I gotta be (oh yeah)
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah

[breakdown]

No one really knows the whole truth
(the whole truth about me)
And no one's had to live in my life
(then they would know it ain't easy)
Made my share of mistakes
That's alright
Cause i'm not gone be afraid no more
Cause this is me
And I won't hide who I am

[chorus (all the way out)]

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (ohhh oh yeah!)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok
I don't really care what the people say (what the people really say!) (oh yeah!)
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause I gotta be (hey!)
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah

. . .



Have you ever you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
Cause the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally yeah

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

I can see it in the stars up in the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
Yes I believe

Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liftin
Love keeps liftin me
I said Love keeps liftin
Love keeps liftin me higher
Said love keeps liftin me higher
