Chorus: See my days are cold without you But I'm hurtin while I'm with u And though my heart can't take no more I keep on running back to you See my days are cold without you But I'm hurtin while I'm with u And though my heart can't take no more I keep on running back to you
Baby, I don't know why your treating me so bad You said you love me, no one above me And I was all you had And though my heart is beatin for ya I can't stop crying I don't know how I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay
(Chorus)
Baby, I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong (do me wrong) See when I'm home, I'm all alone And you are always gone And boy, you know I really love you I can't deny I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears After all these years

Ohh, I trusted you, I trusted you So sad, so sad What love will make you do All the things that we accept Be the things that we regret To all of my ladies (ladies) Feel me C'mon sing with me:
See, when I get the strength to leave You always tell me that you need me And I'm weak cause I believe you And I'm mad because I love you So I stop and think that maybe You can learn to appreciate me Then it all remains the same that You ain't never gonna change (never gonna change, never gonna change)
(Chorus)
Baby, Why you hurt me? Leave me and desert me Boy, I gave you all my heart And all you did was tear it up Looking out my window Knowing that I should go Even when I pack my bags This something always hold me back
(Irv Gotti:) There can only be one, Ashanti... Murder Inc.
(Paul Wall:) (Paul Wall, What It Do?) It's the Houston Hard Hitter out the 713, it's "The People's Champ," Paul Wall, yeah that's me. Come take a ride with a playa out the 'Lone Star State'. I'm just a hustler on the grind known for gettin' that cake. I came up from the bottom, now i reside at the top. I used to run away from cops, but now it's benzes i cop. I used to post up on the block like Yao Ming in the paint, but now i pimp the parkin' lot, drivin' slow n sippin' drank. With Ashanti on my side as i glide like Clyde, and nothin' less than 24 inches of chrome on my ride. It's just somethin' bout the way I tip 4s and grip grain and got these boppers on the sidelines goin insane. I got 'em moanin', my mackin' game is outta control, but i don't know if it's my looks or my big bank roll. I'm 24 years old with my mouth all gold, my games cold and now the stories been told. It's Paul Wall, baby (baby).
(Ashanti: (Verse 1) See i don't know why (why) I'm feelin' just the way i do (do) It's been a long time (time) I thought that i was over you, but now you're coming around again I'll be remembering what you said I just can't take it, and i don't wanna go back, oh no.
(Chorus:) What is a girl to do, if she's still on it, yes If she done been there before with you, and now she don't want it, yeah We've spent time and time again. I just wish this thing would end. Tell me, what is a girl to do, if she's still on it.
(Verse 2:) Whenever we talk (talk) It feels like we had somethin' strong (strong) And knowin' it's wrong, we tried to do this thing before, but when you coming real close to me
Bringing back all of them memories I just can't fake it, but i don't wanna go back, oh no.
(Chorus)
(Method Man:) (uhn, yeah) Auntie Ashanti's a problem, this track here's a problem. The best thing rockin' since that cotton came to Harlem. Meth darlin', I'm like that Hershey with the almonds, and i don't pay for nothin', but your pardon. They start and I finish. My animals is starvin' for dinners Straight up menace, y'all don't get involved in my business. Look, I witness, spotted like a blemish, off gimmicks. I'm 59/50 authenic. Tilted with that NY on it. There's money to be made, and i want it. See, my palm been itchin' for the longest, so scratch that, paper like NASDAQ. We laughed that life, roll the dice, get the cash back, I'm nice. Plus, I got the juice, so i goes well with ice. Been drug tested 3 times failed it twice. Ashanti, you doin' it big, don't hurt 'em auntie. Matter fact, you killin 'em girl, you're murder mami.
(Chorus)

See what you came and done to me You make my life complete I know sometimes I might forget But even when I dont say it You know that I mean it I
[Chorus] I love you 'cause you mean everything to me and I I love you I thank you for just being in my life I love you I love the way you can always make me smile I love you And wherever I go you're always in my heart
[Bridge] When you love somebody You can share everything Because you understand that you'll be right there Anytime, any place, anywhere When you love somebody You can be only me If they cry you'll be right by their side To make everything alright
[Chorus] I love you 'cause you mean everything to me and I I love you I thank you for just being in my life I love you I love the way you can always make me smile I love you And wherever I go you're always in my heart
