Emily King

[Intro:]
Ooooooh

[Verse 1:]
I Just Wanna Live My Life Cos I Wanna, And I Need To
So Dont Be Tryna Steal My Light Cos You Dont Know Me, Dont Pretend To
Ive Been Busy On My Grind, Just Like You, Ive Been Trying
Ive Even Shed A Tear Or Two, I Swear To You, I Aint Lying

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I Feel The World Is After Me, Tryna, Get To Me, Tryna, Stop What I Do
Cos Im The Only One That Looks Out For Me, Can Be Me And Walk In My Shoes
Everday Theres Somethin Thats New To Me, I Just, Gotta Breathe, I Dont, Know About You
But Im The Only One That Looks Out For Me, Can Be Me, And... Walk In My Shoes.

It Aint Easy Being Emily

[Verse 2:]
But I Dont Wanna Change My Name, Cos I Aint Got To, And I Dont Need To
So Ima Do What I Do, Cos I Aint Gotta Live For You
But Ima Keep Up With Mine, Keep On Striving And Surviving No

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
See Everybodys Got Their Own Problems That Their Going Through
I Take It Day By Day, Its Only Thing That I Can Do
So I Live For Me As You Live For You
But You Cant Be Me Unless You Walk In My Shoes

[Chorus x2]

Walk Walk, Walk Walk, Walk Walk - Walk In My Shoes [x2]

You Gon Do You, And Ima Do Me

[Fade]

I used to think I was the same as everyone
'Til I heard a word that turned it all around

Came home from school one day confused with who I was
I didn't understand the hatred I had found

And in my mind were many questions
A child of interracial love
And I'm askin'
Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

As I grew older I had different sets of friends
Tryin' to find the place where I could be myself

Night after night I'd watch my parents go on stage
And the music always healed the pain I felt

And then one day it spoke to me
And said, "Use me to release what's on your mind."

Now I'm singing ... .

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

It happens everyday
Don't want to complicate these colors in my picture I just find
See my view in life is different
Now I know and I can live it
But these questions must be answered all the time

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

[Chorus:]
And it's ok
And it's alright
Cause I'm a keep movin with my life
The time has come, and I must grow
(Gotta keep movin on)
I've been goin' through lots of changes
But no matter how long the days get
I'm gonna be good, cause inside I know
(It's gonna be alright)

Woke up this mornin' with these problems on my mind and
Head is achin' I'm so tired of cryin'
See, my man broke up with me last night
Lately it seems like nothings going right
Then suddenly, I hear a voice say,
"Em, get up you can't be late for work today."
Ya see, I'm tryna make my own way
But sometimes I think I might be going crazy

[Chorus]

So I get ready and I head off to the studio
I'm in the cab and I get a message on my phone
It's the label sayin' they need one more song
Better make it today, or your dream is gone
So I, take a minute try to catch my breath
When I go to pay the fare, got no money left
Tell me when will all this struggle end?
I just wanna smile again

[Bridge:]
But through all the hurt and pain
I know it's gonna bring me a brighter day
And no matter what might come my way
I know I'll be ok

[Chorus]

I just like you thank u for everything u are
And everything u do, it reaches out so far
Never change it for no one, don't compromise yourself
There's just so much of u to love

And its just like magic,
U keep calling, calling over and over again yea
Keep me faithful, keeping me running and in love

So come and hold me darling, cause u captured me,
And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me

U make me glad to be here, u help me to believe
That I can do anything, if I just set my heart free
And ohhh darling, I just, need u,
I need u to know that I care-

U helped me out of my dark place thought I would never get out
U told me that you would keep me safe and not to worry, cause
Things were rough but u never broke down.

So come and hold me darling, cause u captured me,
And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me
[x3]

U helped me out of my dark place thought I would never get out
U told me that you would keep me safe and not to worry, cause
Things were rough but u never broke down.

And no one else could ever make me feel this way,
Since I met you darling my whole life has changed
So want u do me one thing, won't u

Come and hold me darling, cause u captured me,
And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wondering this time where she's gone
Wondering if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know. I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I'm gonna leave young thing alone

But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

She was thru with all of the women he use to do
See each morning he left her cryin'
But she stays just a-hoping that he might change
So then she put up with all his lying

Well, hey lady your gonna be okay,
But he aint' worth what you go thru
Oh no, oh no
So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by

She was just a baby in her mother eyes
And then he came and how fast things change
She used to tell her friends how he was a perfect guy
Until that day he struck her face

But. hey baby your gonna be ok
But that's not love that's hurtin' you
Oh no, oh no
So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by
You can get by
So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by

Why would you let somebody treat you that way?
When its only fear that gets you to stay
You've got to be strong
And know that without him your life carries on

Right Now To The Way We Were
So In Love But Life
Soon Brings Change
Through Ones Eyes
He Cried Tears For Me
But By His Side
I Can No Longer Be

We Used To Talk All Night
Of Different Things, But U,
U Didnt Hear Me Cry
Our Love Is Ending
Somewhere Between The Lies
This Sadness I Could No Longer Hide

Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was You

And So My Love Goodbye
I'll Miss You So You've Though Gone
But Leaves Do Change
As Time Goes On
And Though We Parted In The Ends
For All The Time Spent In Love
I Thank You

Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was...

You Who Never Spoke Your Feelings
So Many Times I Tried To Tell You
That You Were Losing Me
But You Never Tried To Make Things Better
But You Didnt Choose To Seeeee My Pain
Now I've Got One Thing Left To Say
It Was You

Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was You

Oooohhhhh

When you're alone
And you need the right direction
Who will you call?
As the stars glow bright
The night brings cold
And suddenly you're longing
For someone to hold

Just look to the moon
And you'll feel
That my love's right there with you

Oooohhhhh

As the wind blows
You move around in circles
With nowhere to go
You try to keep
A sense of control
But inside you're unhappy
You long to feel whole

Just look to the moon
And you'll feel
That my love's right there with you

Just look to the moon
And you'll feel
That my love's right there with you

Mmmm

Oohhh

Yeeeaahh

Just look to the moon
And you'll feel
That my love's right there with you

Just look to the moon
And you'll feel
That my love's right there with you

Here I sit and wonder of a life that was
But some how that's gon away
This morning I woke to find my love had gone
For reasons he did not say
Funny how things are never what they seem
But oooooh can we go back to where we used to be?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely

Once we shared out world and anything I'd give
Simply to see you smile
This man was the center of my happiness
If only for a short while
Funny how things can change so easily
But oooooh can we go back to where we used be?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely

There was a time when I thought that love could never, never change
There was time when you'd hold me close
You'd take away my pain
Well how those days
What happen to forever?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely
