Who are you to tell me that I cant go on without you Why you tellin me I'm never gonna survive But once upon a time yes I believed that lie (Oh lawd) But sorry no way no how you can't control my mind
'Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own and I never never woulda grown no no no aint no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength no no no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength
Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself It's funny how you tried to break down my pride and my spirit It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life
Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own and I never never woulda wrote this song no no aint no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength no no no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength No, aint no way Vamp: Cause If I thought you were the end all in my be all I woulda never left you alone and I wouldnt be on my own naw I never woulda found faith and I never would have loved again If I thought you were my.... end all in my.... be all I never would have found faith (never found faith) I never would have loved again (never woulda loved again) and I never would have wrote this song no talk about it talk aboutit you cant take away my joy, my joy, my joy I'm Tellin you you cant take away my joy joy moy joy joy joy joy cant take away my joy my my my my joy joy
Tonight is the night we're gonna have a good time (2x)
Tonight i wanna party can't wait to hook up with my crew I'm so happy it's the weekend 'Cause i'm gonna let my head our and shake my thang around
Deejay hear my groove cuz i'm really in the mood and you know just what to do tonight is my night
tonight is the night we're gonna have a good time let's just have a good time(2x)
forget your worries just leave em behind 'Cause life's too short you need to find a good time so (?) your booty on the dance floor what you came hear foor, no parking on the floor( no no)
Deejay hear my groove 'cuase i'm really in the mood and you know just what to do tonight is my night
tonight is the night we're gonna have a good time let's just have a good time let's just have a good time
Somebody play on the guitar strings Makes me think of my favorite songs Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan Can't go back to yesterday Can we just put the thongs away
And fall back in love with music Nothin' but the music Oh
Everybody knows that Marvin's gone Still I gotta tell you what's going on Said the music's gone
Where did all the soul go? It's all about the video We don't sang no mo' (no mo) Where's the music gone? (no no)
Where'd the music go? It's all just for the dough It ain't songs no mo' Where's the music gone?
Still hear Donny playin' them keys Singin' one day we'll all be free Can't even turn on my radio Somebody hollerin' 'bout a bitch or a hoe
Right now I'm missing music Black folks count on music
Where did all the soul go? It's all about the video We don't sing no mo' Where's the music gone?
I unpacked my chest for you Do everything that you want me to Can't believe I gave you all my love What in the world was I thinkin' of?
I just let it all slip away With every minute, hour of the day And if it really meant to be, just share with me Why do I still feel incomplete?
Tell me, yeah I need to know, baby I got to know Tell me, yeah Tell me that you love me
If I give you what you need Would you do the same thing for me? 'Cause I don't want to be alone I want you here all night long
'Cause when you leave me, baby I'm thinkin' about you always I'm ashamed to say How much I want you to stay
Baby, tell me, yeah I need to know Say it now I got to know Tell me that you love me
Now you see I'm not tryin' to make a big fuss over this But I'm just sayin', you need to let me know how you feel sometimes Say it, it's not wrong, expressing yourself? That's what wo-women like that, you know what I'm sayin'? You know, you got to tap into your romantic side Shoot, return the love, baby, return the love
I need to know, I want to know I need to know, I want to know I need to know, I want to know
I need to know, yeah baby I got to know, oh, tell me Tell me that you love me, love me, love me, love me That you love me, love me, love me, love me
I unpacked my chest for you Do everything that you want me to Can't believe I gave you all my love
Somebody play on the guitar strings Makes me think of my favorite songs Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan Can't go back to yesterday Can we just put the thongs away

She's gettin' ghetto up in here She's gettin' ghetto up in here Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She be like, "One Mississippi, two Mississippi rock!" Backed up Like I said before, he's my man. What part of that conversation don't you understand? Whoa, whoa, whoa! (She's gonna get ghetto up in here)
The gloves gonna come off, grease up my face, put you in your place Didn't want to scrap, poppin' on the cap when ya gotta fall back ?
[Chorus] Tryin' to be a lady but you keep pushin' me It's gonna get pretty. Leave me alone, go on by the way stop, throw another cell phone ?
When you had him, you mistreated him Now I found him and I'm feedin' him And he's happy, there's no drama So you can save those hardy notes for the doctor
'Cause I ain't givin' him up I'm lovin' him up Me and him every night, drinkin' from the same cup They say you don't know a good thing 'til it's gone And now I found him in my arms
She be like, "one Mississippi two Mississippi rock!"
Backed up ? Like I said before, he's my man. What part of that conversation don't you understand? Whoa, whoa, whoa (She's gonna get ghetto up in here)
The gloves commin' off, grease up my face, put you in your place Didn't want to scrap, poppin' on the cap when ya gotta fall back(?)
[Chorus]
Leave me alone, go on by the way stop, throw another cell phone.
Took advantage of his kindess Didn't appreciate his sweetness Now I'm present, you're the past Ain't my fault what y'all had didn't last
See, I wanna kill the confusion (Girl, there ain't no confusion) I want you to know it's me he's lovin' (You know it's you I'm lovin') I'm even thinking about having his children
So, I think you should go find yourself a new boy ?
Have you ever been in a party, Droppin' your sexy and bottles Came flyin' in your direction? Turned around saw two kitty-cats fightin'? Tried to play the good Samaritan, Now your face is scratchin'. They're gettin' pretty, pretty, gettin' ? Someone call security bout to be an outbreak Stillettos comin' off ? When the cops break it down half the party's in my loff
He gloves gonna come off, grease up my face, put you in your place Whoa, whoa, whoa
Kiss the back of my neckbone Make it hot like Lousiana hot sauce Whoa, whoa-oh-oh whoa-oh-oh, oh-ooh Shoot, that's soul food Whoa, whoa-oh-oh whoa-oh-oh, oh-ooh Stankin' like chitlins
Sweet like sweet potato pie Like collard greens and yams on the side I'm full from top to the bottom and this ain't no lie I'm hot like Mississippi burning in the middle of July And I'm sayin'...
Sip me up like lemonade from a mason jar Make it good like some chicken fried in a pan of lard I'm getting spoiled like old beans and I can't lose my head 'Cause when you're not around I'm crumbling like cornbread -
I can't take this rain, no.. when i'm bringing you joy Won't you show me some love Like you did before
I won't cry I'm feeling kinda tired I can't keep giv'em way when you don't even try heavy (...) I'm trynna share a little sunshine but your clouds are still there why you giving me all this rain?
And i'm bringin you joy you should show me some love like you did before
it could be so simple babe it's like you're pushing me away (...) never having anything good to say There's gotta be a better way to get back that days there's a bridge in the middle you need to meet me half way instead of playing all these games
When i'm bringing you joy won't you show me some love like you did before
And i think i won't - won't cry i'm feeling kinda tired i can't keep give'em way when you don't even try Heavy (...) I tried to share a little sunshine but your clouds are still there why you giving me rain? When i keep bringin you joy won't you show me some love like you did before i can't take this rain please show me some love (rain) oh i can't take this rain I need a . a little love we used to be so good together i can't take the rain no more -
원곡이 워낙 좋기도 하지만.. 그래도 그렇지.
릴라 제임스라고 읽는 거냐? 릴라 맞겠지?
어쨌든 1집 앨범을 05년도에 낸 것이 전부인 첨 들어보는 여성 보컬리스트가
록발라드를 멋들어지게 알앤비로 바꿔버리는 것을 듣고 완전 꽂혀 버렸다.
다른 곡들도 완전 좋던데? 간만에 또 만 7천원주고 수입음반 주문해야 하는 거니? ㅠ.ㅠ...
