Jennifer Hudson Album

Aha! Hmmm! Hmm
I, I, I, I've been through some things,
Please don't hold that against me,
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Even though I, I, I still can feel a sting,
No need to second guess me,
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you

See I, I, I, I, I don't mind you
Putting up a little bit of fight, it's alright,
But why run from what's gonna hold you tight
Through any complications, baby, maybe we can start tonight!

I saw the dirty looks you gave me
Don't care what your ex do,
Ain't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you!
Ain't no one gonna love you, like I'm gonna love you!
And if you dare, don't dare,
Send me straight to voice mail,
Baby I'm just gonna text you,
Hope it ain't no issue, I just gotta let you
Know no one to love you like I'm gonna love you!

See I, I, I, I, I don't mind you
Putting up a little bit of fight, it's alright,
But why run from what's gonna hold you tight
Through any complications, baby, maybe we can start tonight!

Oh, oh, oh!
I could put on everything!
Ain't no one, no, no,
Ain't no one, no, no,
Show you what I could!
Somebody better told you!
Baby, your name's spelled out in every heartbeat!
Ain't no one, no, no,
Ain't no one, no, no,
Show you what I could!

But if you should go down that same road, you've been before,
You're in reverse, your pain for her, just brace yourself along
But don't you know that you could just let it go?
Don't you know
I, I, I, I've been through some things,
Please don't hold that against me,
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Don't you know I, I, I, I, I'm making you this promise,
Countin' on the rosary
Ain't no one gonna love you, like I'm gonna love you!
Ain't no one gonna love you, like I'm gonna love you!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

[Ad-libs]

[Verse 1]
Packed up my clothes shut the door back on the road to success
Hopped in my two seater just me and the dream of being famous
Straight through the hoods and burbs spitting words of encouragement baby
And if you feel what I'm feeling then don't be scared to say it with me say

[Chorus]
I got this, every single breath's another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south side trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me, come on follow me, if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this

[Verse 2]
So many tried to break me when I got up and knocked me down
Didn't keep me from moving I flip the world upside down
They said the sky was the limit I put my footprint all in it cause I've been there
I'm looking down at the moon and if you feel like I do put your hands in the air

[Chorus]
I got this, every single breath's another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south side trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me, come on follow me, if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this

[Bridge]
(?) mad at me cause when I fall I won't drop
Something in me won't let me stop until I reach the top
I keep going, I keep showing the whole world everyday I'm growing
Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything in me says I got this

[Chorus]
I got this, every single breath's another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south side trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me, come on follow me, if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this
I got this, I got this, uh, I got this, I got this
I got this, I know you know I got this, you better know I got it, you got it, you know it
I got this, I got it, yeah...

You said when the storm came
That you would be there with your umbrella to block the rain
And you said you'd protect me
From heartache, pain, lies, loneliness, and misery
You said you'd tear down the walls that were in my way
You promised things would be okay
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed

Where you at? Oh, where you at? Oh, where you at?
Boy you said would be here for me
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)

Now you said you go to church
Stop slanging, find a real job, and go to work
And you say you stay out of the streets
And spend more time with me
Take away my doubts and fears and fulfill my dreams
You said you'd be that shoulder for my eyes to cry on
Said you would be that one that I could depend on
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed

Boy,
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me
Where you at? (Where)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)

And oh false promises is much like fake names
You painted a picture for me but there was no frame
You made my future look bright and I believed every word
I went to sleep on the clouds and woke up in the dirt
And now I'm without shelter and the wind is blowing
You say you'd be there for me boy when the tough got going
Said if weapons draw, you'd stand in front of me
Whenever I fell trapped, said you'd be the one to set me free
Thought you were my hero
But as it turns out you a no show
Tell me where

Where you at? (You at?)
Where you at? (Where you at babe?)
Where you at?
Oh you said you'd be there for me
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Baby where you at?)
Where you at?
You said you'd be right there for me
Where you at? (And I can't)
Where you at? (See)
Where you at? (See, see)
Where you at? (See)
Where you at?
You'd said you'd be right there for me

Oh, we can touch the sky...

[Verse 1]
I was never looking round
Trying to find someone to take to the clouds
Little did I know I was in need
To find the one that made me feel so heavenly

There's no way that I'm ever going back again
(Ain't goin' back again)
Heaven's in your arms, got me until the end
(You got me until the end)

[Chorus]
Let me be your angel
To the golden door I do come running
When you need some more I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I will come running
And we can touch sky, we can touch the... sky
Oh, we can touch the sky

[Verse 2]
Some people will never see
How you came into my life and set me free
But little do they know that I've been found
Flying so high, so high above the ground

There's no way that I'm ever going back again
(Ain't goin' back again)
Heaven's in your arms, got me until the end
(You got me until the end)

[Chorus]
So let me be your angel
To the golden door I do come running
When you need some more I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I will come running
And we can touch sky, we can touch the... sky
Oh, we can touch the sky

[Bridge]
Let me be the lady in your life
Let me be the one that helps you fly
Let me be that angel love that you've been looking for
Let me take your feet up off the ground
Let me promise you'll never come down
Let me be the lady that you cherish and adore

[Chorus]
Let me be your angel
To the golden door I do come running
When you need some more I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I will come running
And we can touch sky, we can touch the... sky

I remember me, staring at myself
See these same two eyes, see these same two feet
I remember you, you're who I used to be
You still look the same, but you don't hurt like me
Look at my reflection, somewhere my affection
Disappeared, isn't here nothing left to say
Memories they fading, but I'm the one who make them
So I keep the love close to enough to say
What if this life is all that we are given
We just can't stop living scared of what we'll see
Cause in this world anything can hurt you
Push you then forget you stole my history

But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me, I remember me

I'll tell you what my name is
And ain't nothing gonna change it
Cause what you are is what you are
Even if your memory's flawed
I go to places trying to find familiar faces
They don't show but I still know
They don't have to look for me
I dream about, I dream about
The place where all the broken pieces fit together
Cause in this world anything can hurt you
It'll push you then forget you, it stole my history

But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me

Now all that's left are these hands, this breath
I've said goodbye to so many things that tears won't cry
And I take this pain, this joy and rain
Cause all that matters now is...
In this life anything can hurt you
Push you then forget you
Erase your history

But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me

I remember me, oh woah
I remember me, I tell you what my name
I tell you what me name is
Do or die

Can you imagine what it
Would be like if we never met, if we never kissed
Can you imagine if we
Never got to spend those nights in each other's arms

But I don't know how it feels
But it probably would kill me
Probably would tear me down
So I, I don't think about it
Cause my heart can't take it
If you were gone

If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone

Can you picture yourself
Getting older dear with someone else
I can't cause I feel like we
Are the exception to the rule
I know this love is true

And I don't know how it feels
But it probably would kill me
Probably would tear me down
So I I don't think about it
Cause my heart can't take it
If you were gone

If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone

Don't rewind anything
Too excited to see what tomorrow brings
You changed my world around
And I'm not scared to go fall down in love
What if you were gone

If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone

[adlibs out]
I can't imagine, I can't imagine
If you were gone

Everybody needs some love,
Needs someone who they can trust
Someone they can love for life!
Even when the times get rough,
We can make it work,
We can find love!
If we try we can fly high and touch the sky!
Oh, yes we can!
We can do it if we try,
It's up to you and I,
Sing:

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody,
Need somebody who needs love!
If you want it, you can get it
Just trust and believe love!
Raise your hands in the air
Scream now, I need love!
I need love!

No one wants to be alone,
Lonely nights spent at home
Waitin' by the phone, oh no!
All we gotta do is trust,
We can make it work
We can find love!
If we try we can fly high and touch the sky!
Oh, yes we can!
We can do it if we try,
It's up to you and I,
Sing:

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody,
Needs somebody who needs love!
If you want it, you can get it
Just trust and believe love!
Raise your hands in the air
Scream now, I need love!
I need love!

If you work hard every day, let me hear you say
I need love, need love!
If you're sick and tired of bein' lonely, let me hear you say
I need love, need love!

I know it's a lot of y'all out there
Who think you can't find love,
But I'm here to tell you
If you want it, you can have it!
Just believe it!

[Chorus x2:]
Everybody, everybody,
Needs somebody who needs love!
If you want it, you can get it
Just trust and believe love!
Raise your hands in the air
Scream now, I need love!
I need love!

Well I'm on the feels, I'm undecided
So very tense still a little upset
But I don't wanna make an angry decision
And regret it later, so I haven't decided, yeah
But I could never ever feel like this
When the words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say it, I just hate how difficult you make it

Why is it so hard? So hard? So hard to love you
So hard to stay, hey
Why is it so hard? So hard to love you
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way, no

Cause it may seems irrational to me,
I'm still around though I can't believe one word that you say
No it don't make no sense, I'm always crying
But I'd cry oceans if you ever went away
But I could never ever feel like this
When the words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say it, I just hate how difficult to make it

Why is it so hard? So hard? So hard to love you
So hard to stay, hey
Why is it so hard? So hard to love you
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way, no
Why is this so hard? Oh I can walk out that door
And never come around anymore
But that wouldn't make no sense to me
See I love you baby, and through the thick and thin
This is where I'm supposed to be, supposed to be

Hey, why is it so hard? So hard? So hard to love you
So hard to stay, hey
Why is it so hard? So hard to love you
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way, no
Why is it so hard? So hard? So hard to love you
So hard to stay, hey
Why is it so hard? So hard to love you
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way, hey,
Why is it so hard?

You know that thing, that love thing
Make me wanna say "Ooooh, look down"

[Verse 1:]
It breaks my heart up every time
Then I think about what you told me that night
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No way I can escape what's in my mind

Oh, that's the way love goes
Love it takes you up, it takes you down, got you going all around.
Oh, that's the way our love goes
Open up your mind now don't be blind, I know baby you will find

[Chorus:]
There is no limit to how,
High we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
Let's go higher and higher
Don't look down

[Verse 2:]
Broken hearts and broken dreams
Baby nothing's broken, as it seems
Gotta find a way to let it flow (oh oh)
I know that there's a higher place to go

Oh that's the way love goes
Baby if it's real, then here's the biz, gotta accept it how it is
Oh, that's the way our love goes
Open up your mind now don't be blind, I know baby you will find

[Chorus:]
There is no limit to how,
High we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
Let's go higher and higher
Don't look down

[Bridge:]
Oooh, see we cannot let go
And there's no looking down
When you walk on the tight rope
Gotta keep your eyes on the highest tracks of love
You don't have to worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Just keep your eyes above
1, 2, 3 sing

[Chorus:]
There is no limit to how,
High we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
Let's go higher and higher
Don't look down

There is no limit to how,
High we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
Let's go higher and higher
I'm telling you don't look down

You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me be more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there
To lift me up, to make me strong
You're not gone,

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

It's because of you I knew how it felt to be loved, ooh
You made me feel beautiful cause you believed I was
And I will never forget how you touched my life
You made me feel like I belonged
You'll live on

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart, ooh

You're my life
You'll be in my life
You'll be part of me
I'll just think of you and you'll be

Still here
With me all the time, oh Lord
Still here
When I close my eyes
I feel you
And we'll never never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

Still here, aah
Still here, ooh
Whooo, still here

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel
It's a new day
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn, a new day
A new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonflies out in the sun
You know what I mean
Don't you know
Butterflies are having fun
That's what I mean
Sleep in peace until the day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
And I'm feeling good

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of a pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn, a new day
A new life for me
And I'm feeling good

It's a new day
I'm feeling good
It's a new day
I'm feeling good

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
My momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers
Out on his old porch swing

Said he was in the war in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
I broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, and said

[Chorus:]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
Oh I believe

Few years later I was off at college
Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
Of the small town life
She said oh by the way child, old man Wrigley hass died.

Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
I thought about a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
Cause if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said

[Chorus:]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that I live
No, this can't be
No, it can't be
This can't be all there is

[Chorus:]
When I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
Oh I believe
Ooh, I still believe

[ad libs & out]

Are you a man who loves
And cherishes
And cares for me?
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?
Are you a guard in a prison
Maximum security?
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?
Do we stay home all the time
Cuz you want me to yourself?
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?
Or am I locked away
Had a feeling that i'd find
Someone else
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?

Chorus:
Well, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Just because you think
I might find somebody worthy
Well, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Baby, if you treat me right
You won't have to worry

__ relationship
Fulfilling your needs
As well as mine
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?
Or is this just my sentence
Am I doing time?
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?
If this is love
Real, real love
Then I'm staying no doubt
But if I'm just a prisoner
Then I'm busting out
Is that true? Is that true?
Is that true?

(Chorus)

Oh, you oughta be
Ashamed of yourself
What the hell
Do you think you're doing?
Loving me, loving me
So _____
Baby, all I do is try
To show you
That you're my one
And only guy
No matter
Who may come along
Open your eyes
Cuz baby, I don't lie

(Chorus 2x)
