Remember Who I Was

God, if this doesn't punch you in the heart... 

I feel the pain in his voice. Beautiful and haunting and full of so much suffering... 

He gets me. 

Remember Who I Was | James Arthur Video with Lyrics 

JAMES ARTHUR Remember Who I Was lyrics

I know I hurt you, I was so unkind

I was ungrateful, I wasted your time

But I was young and lost, so lost

See, you took this poor boy and changed his whole life

Granted his wishes and dreams overnight

And I saw stars, they shot me down

But I deserved it, they knocked me out

I'm just waking up now, in the tears of the one's I love

It's quiet, I'll bet that everybody thinks I'm done

I need to get up now, I've been down here for too long

Two years I've been lost, now I remember who I was

Who I was, who I was

I am the one who beat me black and blue
No one can hurt all your feelings like you
Whoa, I know it, or validate
See, if you're a misfit and feel out of place
Or you don't like how you look, it's okay
'Cause someone will, but you need to love yourself
Don't end up like me, don't end up like me

I'm just waking up now, in the tears of the one's I love

It's quiet, I'll bet that everybody thinks I'm done

I need to get up now, I've been down here for too long

Two years I've been lost, now I remember who I was

Who I was, who I was (I've been down here for too...)

Who I was, who I was

Wale Ft. Usher - Matrimony Lyrics

Couldn't make you wait forever, for forever
This is forever
I gotchu

If there's a question of my heart, you've got it
It don't belong to anyone but you
If there's a question of my love, you've got it
Baby don't worry, I've got plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans, oh love
Baby, I've been making plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans
Baby, I've been making plans for you

(My sincerest apologies, I mean it)

I'll admit it, all be it pathetic
That I'm in my late 20s still never been to a wedding
Guess the idea of that lobby empty, do not sit with me well
It's not your fault they try get me, cause I'ma need the sales
Cause I'm selfish, and I need you to myself
Tryna see you afloat but don't wanna see you on sale
Cause I failed and see you bout to cry
Cause when I enter they city they leave without they pride
I'm sorry, and you starin' at my comments
Fearin' it's gone always be you sharin' me with all them
Wrong, how dare I say ignore them
Preparing for that day, I leave you here and switch you for them
It's hard, you know temptation and all
Bitches out here tryna see if my relationship's strong
Get a place in the charts or runaway from your heart
Gave this music my all, nothing is sacred no more I'm wrong

But I'm promisin' you better though
And your friends sayin' let him go
And we ain't gettin' any younger
I can give up now but I can promise you forever though

If there's a question of my heart, you've got it
It don't belong to anyone but you
If there's a question of my love, you've got it
Baby don't worry, I've got plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans, oh love
Baby, I've been making plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans
Baby, I've been making plans for you

(If you ever knew love)

I'll admit it, let me be hypothetic
The day I find a woman I prolly be scared to share it
The idea of me finding love would run somebody off
And true my wall could use some plaques but still I gotta floss
Brush you off, see I'm kinda lost
Now I'm up in the club with a couple of Move Ons
And dark, good nigga troubled heart
Went from fallin' in love to drunk and fallin' apart
This is hard, tryna find some time to move on
Cause when we lost our baby, I got shady shit got too dark
Soft, and I thank you baby, you strong
My ex before you married to, you solo I say so long
Nah, good terms how that ended
But it surely put a dent on how I worry about this business
Off white picket fences, on flights with the children
On site stealin' kisses on off nights my intentions but

But I plan to do it better though
But you still sayin' let it go
We ain't gettin' any younger
Women love me now but in your eyes we forever though

If there's a question of my heart, you've got it
It don't belong to anyone but you
If there's a question of my love, you've got it

Baby don't worry, I've got plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans, oh love
Baby, I've been making plans for you
Baby, I've been making plans
Baby, I've been making plans for you

We ain't nothin' but some planets

I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else by A Great Big World

I love A Great Big World. My daughter Abi listens to them a lot and has shown me some awesome songs. This one came on my Pandora station today and I haven't heard it for a while. It's a little sad but sweet at the same time. I think we've all been there - that feeling in a relationship where you know you have to let go but you just aren't ready to really move on yet...

I know I've felt this way exactly:

"Oh, I thought that I could change you
 Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
 I know that it's time to tell you it's over
 But I don't wanna love somebody else"

I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else by A Great Big World Video (Vevo) 

                          "I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else" Lyrics 

Oh, I built a world around you
Oh, you had me in a dream, 
I lived in every word you said
The stars had aligned
I thought that I found you
And I don't wanna love somebody else

Oh, we left it all unspoken
Oh, we buried it alive 
and now it's screaming in my head
Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
Oh, that you will change your mind 
and one day we could start again
Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
I don't wanna love somebody else

Oh, I thought that I could change you
Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
I know that it's time to tell you it's over
But I don't wanna love somebody else

All Of Me - John Legend | Video and Lyrics

Sometimes a song is perfect. This one is for you baby.




"All Of Me"- John Legend 

[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Bridge:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Bridge:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all, all of you, oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you, oh

"Changes" Lyrics 

Come on come on
I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.
My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch.
Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero.
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare.
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers.
Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other.
"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said.
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead.
I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes.
Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers.
And that's how it's supposed to be.
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

[Bridge with changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]

I see no changes. All I see is racist faces.
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races we under.
I wonder what it takes to make this one better place...
let's erase the wasted.
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right.
'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight.
And only time we chill is when we kill each other.
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
And although it seems heaven sent,
we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh.
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact...
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
But some things will never change.
Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.
Now tell me what's a mother to do?
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you.
You gotta operate the easy way.
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way.
Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is.

[Bridge]

[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do.
But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you.
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold ya own.
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
But tell the cops they can't touch this.
I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.
That's the sound of my tool. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back.
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback.
Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh

[Bridge 'til fade:]
Some things will never change

Guest post from Tatiana Anderson:

Delilah - Go

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What am I gonna do?
I let myself go

Nothing left to say
Take my breath away
Whispering your name
Tie me up in chains
No one puts it down like me

Strength I can't ignore
Make me beg for more
Climbing up the walls
Banging down the doors
Knowing that you hear my scream

But ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh
All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
You filled my heart with a kiss
You give me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

Nothing left to say
Take my breath away
Whispering your name
Tie me up in chains
No one puts it down like me

Strength I can't ignore
Make me beg for more
Climbing up the walls
Banging down the doors
Knowing that you hear my scream

But ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh
All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh

Because who are you
To make me hmmm
And it's you ooh
And you go, and you go...

Ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh
All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh

I heard this song as it was used in a burlesque act and the passion in the performer’s eyes was crazy. You are feeling the music and recognizing it but the chorus hits and it’s her own. The way the body just listened to them music and moved to it without knowing where it was going to go was amazing. This song is proof that REAL music still exists and doesn't have to be popular to be found J OR used. 

Hallelujah

"Hallelujah" Song Lyrics 

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah Video - Jeff Buckley

I've loved this song forever, having hear numerous versions of it performed and recorded since Cohen and Buckley's recordings... Buckley is still my favorite... but many others have done it justice. Who is your favorite?

"Hallelujah" Defined:

1. (Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) an exclamation of praise to God
2. an expression of relief or a similar emotion
n
1. an exclamation of "Hallelujah"
2. (Music, other) a musical composition that uses the word Hallelujah as its text

Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song) Information 

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, originally released on his studio album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a cover by John Cale, which later formed the basis for a cover by Jeff Buckley.

*Note: Not to diminish the value in the origination, but if you listen to the Leonard Cohen version it's a little creepy.


Wikipedia says: 
"In 2004, Buckley's version was ranked number 259 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[1] The same year Time called Buckley's version "exquisitely sung," observing "Cohen murmured the original like a dirge, but ... Buckley treated the ... song like a tiny capsule of humanity, using his voice to careen between glory and sadness, beauty and pain... It's one of the great songs."[17]"

So, if you listen to Jeff Buckley you really get a better feeling for the emotion these lyrics evoke. 
More from Wiki on Jeff:  
"In September 2007, a poll of fifty songwriters conducted by the magazine Q listed "Hallelujah" among the all-time "Top 10 Greatest Tracks" with John Legend calling Buckley's version "as near perfect as you can get. The lyrics to Hallelujah are just incredible and the melody's gorgeous and then there's Jeff's interpretation of it. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of recorded music I’ve ever heard."[18] In July 2009, the Buckley track was ranked number three on the 2009 Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, a listener poll held every decade by the Australian radio station Triple J."[19]"

Hallelujah Song Lyrics Meanings

Of course there are lots of meanings and interpretations of this song.  My favorite interpretation was found here: http://www.lyricinterpretations.com/Leonard-Cohen/Hallelujah


"Most of the interpretations I have heard refer to biblical stories and of course it is impossible to ignore the analogies with King David and Bathsheba. However,I think these can obscure the meaning of the song and I would rather go beyond them. Analyzing a poem line by line sometimes misses the core of meaning which may actually be not fully realized by the poet himself. What after all was Kubla Khan, Coleridges poem about? It came out of a drug-induced reverie and the words are impossible to interpret literally.

What I see in the poem is a man who finds it hard to reconcile his own singular personal quest for truth as a spiritual seeker and as a creative artist with earthly love. He is "overthrown" by the beauty of the woman bathing on the roof and intoxicated with desire for her yet with that comes compromise. Being tied to a kitchen chair suggests being bound to domesticity and having his hair cut recalls Samson whose strength was lost when Delilah cut his hair. He feels he has sacrificed his power for ephemeral sexual desire, emotional needs and freedom from the burden of loneliness.

And inevitably the hallelujah, the ecstasy fades and with it bitterness and disillusionment since his lover has no feeling for creativity as evidenced by her lack of interest in music, his explanation of which seems to fall on deaf ears.

At the same time, the sexual magnetism, "down below" has diminished or even gone in the way that the energy of many relationships weaken into dead habit.

So there is a sense he has been left with nothing, doubting a god above and likening earthly love to a gunfight. It is as if he has betrayed his deepest yearnings and is only left with a cold and broken hallelujah, an empty exhortation, a state of inner desolation.

Yet the tone of the song is so bittersweet, so beautiful and sad that there might be a suggestion that he has reconciled those feelings and accepted the limits of the relationship, knowing that even sharing a life with someone cannot assuage his inner loneliness.

Hallelujah is a beautiful, ironic and melancholy masterpiece."

My Personal Hallelujah

My own interpretation is slightly more spiritual, although far from Biblical or religious. Today some deeper feelings arose in a conversation about spirituality and I found myself emotional and conflicted. Having been brought up religious and then later taking a different path, I have a lot of internal conflict when it comes to spirituality, religion and really the greater meaning of life. For some reason after my discussion, I found myself thinking of this song. The lyrics kept coming to mine and I found myself playing it over and over today, thinking about who I am and my own broken Hallelujah...
The lyrics in bold above represent my innermost thoughts on my relationship with God. Call it what you will, but my feelings toward my personal relationship with God can not be defined with a title or really any words. No, I am not religious. No, I do not "belong" to a church - but this doesn't mean I am not spiritual. This doesn't mean I don't believe in God. This doesn't mean I am anti religion or a non member.... not to me anyways.

I haven't "found" anything. I am not "reborn" or "saved"... I am just allowing myself to remain open and allowing myself to be okay with still relating to the teachings of what I once defined as my religion.

I don't belong to anything. But, I will not deny where I came from and I won't regret a life I didn't choose. I was born into a family deeply rooted in religion and I will never become bitter towards the people who did what they thought was right.

I am not who I used to be, and I will never be again... my Hallelujah may not sound like yours, but it's a Hallelujah just the same...

Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness

For some reason, this song got to me today....

Man, Otis Redding left us too soon.... The lyrics, the soul, the voice, the passion, the musicality....

Otis Redding - Video - Try A Little Tenderness - Live - Europe - Stax Tour 1967

And man, can that guy read a woman....

You won't regret it, no no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah

All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

I love the lyrics to the whole song... an understanding of a woman, her needs - sung as advice to men.

Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness - Song Lyrics

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

It's not just sentimental, no no no

She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah

You won't regret it, no no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah

All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

Get to her drop drop

Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah

You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man

You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave

You've got to hold her and rub her softly

Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah

You've got to rub her gentle man, don't bruise her, no no

You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her

Gotta drop nah nah nah drop

Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove

You've gotta to know what to do, man

Take this advice

Whitney Houston - Legends Never Die

Whitney Houston - Legends Never Die 

I think Whitney Huston's music resonates with so many generations and her songs and lyrics have such powerful messages. I mean, who can forget "One Moment In Time", "When You Believe" or "I'll Always Love You"?

Just like when Michael Jackson passed, so many people commented on the negative. Of course we all knew she struggled with addiction and her career wasn't what it used to be when she died, but can't we just remember her beautiful music, her amazing talents and her incredible voice?

I know I will always love her music and every time I hear a Whitney Huston song I will turn it up and sing along....

Rest in Peace Whitney Huston - I will always love you....


P.S. Thanks Tatiana for sharing this pic of Whitney Huston with me.... she is an angel. <3

Ooh...yeah

[Eric Benet]
I never knew such a day could come
And i never knew such a love could be inside of one
And i never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

[Tamia]
I never knew til i looked in your eyes {oh baby}
I was incomplete til the day you walked into my life {umm...hmm}
And i never knew that my heart could feel so precious and pure
One love so real, real

[Eric Benet]
Can i just see you every morning when (every morning, babe)
I open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night (every day)
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
(Can i just spend my life) Can i just spend my life with you {umm...hmm}

[Eric Benet]
Now baby the days and the weeks and the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside of you and i

[Tamia]
And baby I'll never find any words that could explain
Just how much my heart, my life, my soul you've changed

[Tamia]
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world i'm your woman and you're my man
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can i just spend my life with you

[Eric Benet]
No touch has ever felt so wonderful (you are incredible)

[Tamia]
Not a deeper love I've ever known {never let you go}

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
I swear this love is true [now and forever to you, to you...oh...oh] [tone
change]

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
Can i just see you every morning when i open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
{You're my woman} and (you're my man)
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you [forever here with you]
Can I just spend my life with you

[Tamia] Can I just see you every morning when i open my eyes
[Eric Benet & Tamia] Oooh....oooh

Lyrics to I've Been Loving You Too Long 


I've been loving you too long to stop now

You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no

Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
Good God almighty I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....

Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

 Are you strong enough to be my man?

God, I feel like hell tonight....




Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man
My man

Nothing's true, and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough
My man

When I've shown you
That I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Would you be man enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

It Kills Me - Melanie Fiona

 Because you are killing me softly.



It Kills Me Lyrics

Oh yaahh I've got trouble with my friends
Trouble in my life
Problems when you don’t come home at night
But when you do you always start a fight
But I cant be alone , I need you to come on home
I know you messing around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down
Ooooh I gotta be out my mind to think it’s gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave, but the other side still believes
And it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna ooh hoo ohh to you hoo hoo
Should I grab his cell, call this chic up
Start some shhhh then hang up
Or should I be a lady
Oohh maybe cause I wanna have his babies
Ohh yah yahh cause I don’t wanna be alone
I don't need to be on my own
But I love this man
But some things I just can't stand ohhhh
Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna oohh hoo ohhh, to you hoo hooo Should I pay him back to see how he'll react ,to see if he'll React to my love, my love
Oohh I've gotta be out my mind
To think it's gonna work this time Oohh a part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you so much I wanna oohh hoo to you hoo hoo
