I'm sitting here in my bed I've been thinking about everything that's been said I realize what's at stake From the moment I met you I just ain't been the same
I need you here in my life And we both know, that's a hard thing to fight Girl, I'm a good man and you're a good woman There's so much more I want to discover, baby
It it's love, it'll last a lifetime Deep in my heart, I know baby If it's love, it'll last forever, It'll just start to show
You know I played the field for the longest time Was in and out of love Oh I, oh I payed the price Tell me can you comprehend what you make me feel Heaven only knows why broken hearts can heal
I need you, here by my side If you're not in my world, boy Ain't nothing right
You're a good man, and I'm a good woman too There's so much more to discover with you
It it's love, it'll last a lifetime Deep in my heart, I know baby If it's love, it'll last forever, It'll just start to show
Maybe we can work it out Maybe we can find the time Maybe we can settle down, girl Boy, you know your heart is mine
Maybe we can find a way to love a little better Maybe we can a way to keep it all together Maybe have a little faith and pray for this love, love
It it's love, it'll last a lifetime Deep in my heart, I know baby If it's love, it'll last forever, It'll just start to show
Come with me to find What everybody wants in life. Do you know where it hides? I don't.
Here I am one more time With the same damn lives. Is this really love? Who knows.
I tried to understand Who knows all there is to know? Who knows how love is supposed to go? Has somebody found it all? Tell me please Here I am down on the floor. Am I doing this so wrong? Tell me something if you know. 'Cause I know nothing.
Everything feels so right Yet everything feels so wrong Will this always be my song? Say no.
We fight and then we don't We laugh just to cope Is this some sick joke? Who knows.
I tried to understand Who knows all there is to know? Who knows how love is supposed to go? Has somebody found it all? Tell me please Here I am down on the floor. Am I doing this so wrong? Tell me something if you know. 'Cause I know nothing.
There's gotta be a voice out there who answer prayers. Answer me if you can. 'Cause You know all there is know You know how love supposed to go And I know you found it all So tell me now please. Here I am down on the floor I know I'm doing this so wrong Tell me something cause you know God I know nothing.
If there were no record labels No radios or TVs No magazines, no MTV No channel to see
Would I even tell my story? Would I even sing my song? If nobody sang along Would I take the time to write it? Would I say what's on my mind? If nobody sang along
Who's all this for? Is it my song or yours? Am I the superstar or are you? I feel so challenged Like I'm on trial But if you aren't around, would I gotta tell the truth?
Would I even tell my story? Would I even sing my song? If nobody sang along Would I take the time to write it? Would I say what's on my mind? If nobody sang along
Baby I like being played on the radio Baby i like being just like the other girls Baby i wish i was in more media Maybe i need to just say what i wanna say
Maybe I should tell my story Maybe I should sing my song And somebody just might sing along Maybe if I only write it And just say what's on my mind I'd be all over your TV screen The radio would play what I believe If I just say whats inside of me I might set somebody free If I just be me Me
Walk in these, Here's a pair of shoes I used to walk in fear, Fear of leaving you Scared to go, I stayed Saying only what you let me say
Don't speak, There's really no need, be quiet I only want to hear the leaves Beneath your feet We said this all before Close the door Close the door
Don't go on, go away I've got no more words to say End the song No we can't go through the pain Yeah you tried, take a break If I'm wrong then that's ok If you've got something to say Too bad It's better left unsaid (Said, said, said Unsaid, said)
Pull the plug, Don't resuscitate Let it die quick, no drugs Rather pain than lies, We both will agree We both disagree, So let's agree, Let's be free
Don't go on, go away I've got no more words to say End the song No we can't go through the pain
Yeah you tried, take a break If I'm wrong then that's ok If you've got something to say Too bad It's better left unsaid (said) Said (said) said (said) Said (un) said (said) said (said) said, said
Why you wanna kill me With your lips Won't you rather love me With your kiss I could be better Without this Ohohoh, ohohohoh Loving you used to Be such bliss If you give me hell I will not miss These, words, They hurt ohhhhh
Don't go on, go away I've got no more words to say End the song No we can't go through the pain Yeah you tried, take a break If I'm wrong then that's ok If you've got something to say Too bad It's better left unsaid (Said, said, said Unsaid, said) It's better left unsaid (Said, said) Whoo-ohoh (said) Ohohoh (Unsaid, said) It's better left unsaid
I got a way in finding all the wrong places to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right time That's I do so bad at life, yeah, if you need a friend to show what you already know If you got a lot of time to blow, I got the rest of the night I suck at doing anything right I'm whatever Whatever you don't want, have to depend on someone to lean on And whatever whatever you don't want, promise to give more I'm right in time. I'm not your friend, I'm your life
Take a champagne glass to the rest of me I know I make you so happy, But maybe not But I'm the only life you got, yeah, ask the Lord That he saved my soul some day If God will come around my way, imagine if I pray, I really don't wanna be this way, But I'm not ever whatever You don't want, have to depend on someone to lean on And whatever whatever you don't want, promise to give more I'm right in time. I'm not your friend
I'm your life
You're stuck with me, nothing, you can't do about it You gotta live with it, you can't live without it I'm trying to change I'm so sorry but buddy I'm not your friend, I'm your life oh I'm not ever whatever you don't want to have to depend On someone to lean on And whatever whatever you don't want promise to give more I'm right in time and I'm not your friend I'm your life, yeah I'm your life, yeah I'm your life, oh oh, whatever whatever you don't want, I can't be your friend my friend, no no Whatever, whatever, I'm not your friend, I'm just your life, I'm your life.

[Rick Ross:] I'm chilling court side, Jordan six rings. You know we court side till we get our 6 rings. We both on common ground, it ain't a big thing, But when we come around they make it a big thing. Still on the block in that drop chicken box, They asking "what that is?" "is that a different watch?" When I'm stunt mode, I gotta let the city watch. Or it's the clear pore jet to a chillin spot.
[Chorus] I, I, I'm so, oh, oh, oh in love (Never should have told my) I, I, I'm so, oh, oh, oh in love (And my heart is saying) Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (and my heart is saying) Boom Boom clap clap Boom Boom Boom (I never should have told my heart) I, I, I'm so, oh, oh, oh in love [x2]
You never call me like you promise to That's ok Cause every single day I'm cool You used to say That for me you're gonna go and get the moon You never did But it brought the sun and moon and stars I'm cool
Baby I'm so cool
You promised me the world... Though I never asked you for a thing But all of a sudden The whole out of nothing It's all that you'll ever bring I've never called for clothes or jewelry Or anything else you were promising All that I needed was to be treated Like you... for me But you won't even do this
[Chorus:] So after everything you put me through Just want you to know that I've moved on And baby I'm so cool So cool It wasn't hard to find a better you I'll be alright Don't you worry I'm so cool
Used to walk around like a mad tool But know it keeps me smiling every day I'm cool The only thing I really wanted from you Was the only thing you'll never do Love and affection... objection So I had to quit you Cause you didn't even do this
[Chorus]
Baby I'm so cool Finally done with you On to something new So cool So cool [Repeats]

2007년 발표한 데뷔 앨범 <I Am>의 'Best Of Me'와 2년 터울을 두고 공개한 두 번째 정규 음반 <Epiphany> 수록곡 'What You Do'로 크리셋 미셸(Chrisette Michele)의 음악은 우리나라 몇몇 사람들에게 친숙하다. 주변 누군가에게 전화를 걸면 상대방이 받기 전까지 잔잔한 음성으로, 또는 애절한 목소리로 얼마 안 되는 시간을 응대해주는 역할을 톡톡히 했기 때문이다. 통화 연결이 되면......
