Songs in A minor

Piano & I

Oh oh my goodness
I didn't know I was here
Do you know my name? (Can't go wrong when you try)
Always got to try
No matter how long that shit take
Yeah, yeah
Uh
Whatever stops you from dreamin'
Whatever trys to stop you from livin'
Flip it

Welcome home
Cuz right now what I got to do is
I gotta amp myself up as well as you
So yea, so what it took me like
Maybe 2 years and shit
But I'm feelin' prepared
You know what I'm sayin
And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss
As I once was
So come on
What chu waitin' on?
Feel me, feel me, feel me
What, uh, yeah
What, uh, yeah
What?

Girlfriend

Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through

Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get in between
But I see possibilites

And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real
I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
Say you're jealous but you can't tell me why
It's enough to make a nigga go crazy.
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend

How Come You Don't Call Me

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything you said
I always thought our love was so rare I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin to hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still I like it better when you holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please, please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me
Why must you touch me?
How come you don't call me

Fallin'

I keep on fallin' in
And out with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Loving you darling
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

Oh oh I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Cause when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin'

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

Troubles

Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)
This pain in my heart that just follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (Mmmmm)
Oh my goodness

It feels like the world is closin' on me
It feels like my dreams will never come to be
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Contious mistakes I know I'm able for
How long will I feel so out of place

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

If your troubled, (are you troubled, are you troubled?)
you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby (are you worried?), you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

If your troubled and your worried baby
All your hustlin' scene for nothing
You don't have to worry.

A Woman's Worth

You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth,

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

If you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Baby I know you're worth it
She rolls the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth, oh

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

No need to read between the lines, spell it out for you
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong when you value
A woman, woman, woman, a woman's worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Goodbye

bye bye

How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

I know now I was naive
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

The Life

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that
I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for to be here for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
Can you see what I'm seeing
This is the life, trying to survive
Gotta keep moving

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

I'm just trying to get over

Mr. Man

Somethin' about the way you smiled at me just drove me wild
Wish I could know if you're alone, don't wanna cramp you style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for her challenge may you

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and say you can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man, Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

(Alicia Keys)
Like they way you've given me attention through the night
Maybe I've had too much for me, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonight

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
Cause I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man, Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man

(Alicia)
I know all you wanna know is answers
(Jimmy)
Cuz you could gimme what I need
(Alicia)
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead?

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man, Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and say you can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man, Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man

Never Felt This Way (Interlude)

There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want or need to be without you
I want to give my all
Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms they keep away the lonelys
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
Cuz I never felt this way about lovin
No
Never felt so good baby
Never felt this way about lovin
It feels so good

Butterflyz

Lately when I look into your eyes I realize
You're the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you made me feel inside

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

It seems like the light you give
From the start you told me I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I want to give you everything

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You and I are destiny
I know now you were made for me

I can't control it
It's driving me
Taking over me

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control it

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control it

You give me something I just can't deny
I just can't control the way I feel
I never felt like this.

Why Do I Feel So Sad

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
Why do I feel so sad
Why does it feel so bad inside
When I realize that you've got to be let fly?

Caged Bird

Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and revelery
They didn't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty

Lovin U (Hidden Track)

Let me try something real quick
If I gave you forever
Would you take care of me
Would you take me for granted
On the way

Those wonderful things that you do
They got me feelin'
In love with you
In love with you
That loving you is easy
Comes so naturally
Loving you is easy
Comes so naturally

I would give you laughter
And so much more than that
Oh yes I would
And to find your laughter
I would climb the highest mountain
to bring it back

Those wonderful things that you do
They got me feelin'
In love with you
In love with you
That loving you is easy
Comes so naturally
Loving you is easy
Comes so naturally

I will stay by your side
Whether I'm wrong
Whether I'm right
