Titolo: She Got Her Own

[Jamie Foxx:]
I love her cause she got her own
She don’t need mine, so she leave mine alone
There ain’t nothing in this world sexy
Than a girl that want but don’t need me
Young independent, yea she work hard
But you can tell from the way that she walk
She don’t slow down cause she ain’t got time
To be complaining, shawty gon shine
She don’t expect nothing from no guy
She plays agressive, but she still shy
But you never know her softer side
By lookin in her eyes
No way she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my world

Only kinda girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own

Than a girl that want, but don’t need me
Lovely face
Nice thick thighs
Plus she got drive that matches my drive
Sexy Thang
She’s mcfly
All the while payin the bills on time
She don’t look at me like Captain Save Em
Gold Diggin, no she don’t do that
Now she lookin me like inspiration
She wanna be complimentin my swag
And everything she got, she work for it, good life made for it
She take pride in sayin that she paid for it

Only kind of girl I want

When I do that math boo
You always try to add two
I need someone who’d ride for me
Not someone who’d ride for free
She said boy I don’t just ride, She’ll pull up beside of me
I had to ask her what she doin in that caddy
She said cause you my baby I’d be stuntin like my daddy
And there’s not many, who catch my eye
We both wearing gucci, she match my fly
And that’s why I, Suppose to keep her closer
Right by the side, toast and to host her
And that she went low so, cause you didn’t know so
You can save your money dawg shawty getting dough so
What she care with his cars, you can call her miss boss

She got her own

It’s cool I got it, I got it, I got it

Titolo: In The Way

Thought I get to see your face again
But my flight got cancelled wouldn’t stop raining
So two days three flights later I touchdown
But there was trouble with you family and now your outta town
And I don’t like it no this ain’t cool
Feelin like there’s something just don’t want me near you

The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new

Cause it keeps getting in the way

But by the time I get there your already fast asleep
And I don’t like it no this ain’t cool
Feelin like there’s something just don’t want me near you

Titolo: Stop This World

O.K.
I woke up in heaven today
She kissed me I floated away (away)
Never felt anything so great
Alright, now I brace myself for the fights
I’m light as a feather tonight

Cause I can’t feel the ground
Someone let me down
I never felt so high as I do now
It’s too good to be true
I don’t deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning
Stop this world from spinning

And I see heaven when she looks at me
In her smile is the most amazing dream
And in her eyes I fall asleep
And I hope
Hope that she can see through the smoke
Of my imperfections into my soul
And my heart where she has control (she has control)

Cause I can’t feel the ground
Someone let me down
I never felt so high as I do now
It’s too good to be true
I don’t deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning

Happiness like this can never last (can never last)
Turns into the memories of the past (turns into the memories of the past)
[? ] (going just as fast)

And I can’t feel the ground
Someone let me down
I said I’ve never been so high as I am now
It’s too good to be true
I don’t deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning (hey, hey, hey)
Stop this world from spinning

Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie
I just wanna be lone
I don’t wanna feel a thing
I don’t want reality
Actually, reality stinks
How about we just pretend,
That your cell phone didn’t even ring
And that I wasn’t on the other side of the door
Listening to everything.
Tell me another lie
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie…
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie
Please make me believe
That there is nobody for you and me
When I ask who where you talking to
Tell me it was Candy
Tell me the last night you didn’t leave
After you thought I was asleep
Crept back in that 6 45
Tell me it was just a dream
Baby I need, desperately, desperately

To believe you
Cause I wont be held responsible
For what, what I might do
Baby I need, desperately, desperately
To believe you
Cause I wont be held responsible
For what, what I might to do me another lie
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie…
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don’t wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Titolo: Back To What You Know

[Verse 1:]
I don’t know where to begin,
Fighting a war I can’t win, fighting a memory
Something that used to be, (Mmm)
No matter how hard I fight,
All of my strength and might,
Keeps on defeating me, it just keeps on defeating me.

[Chorus:]
So what I’m trying to say, I know what’s happening,
Your body is here with me,
But your heart and your mind is still with him.

Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we’ll never work cause you don’t want it,
Girl, you belong with him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

[Verse 2:]
Telling me things that you two, did when he was with you,
How he was oh so sweet, the way that he used to treat you,
Instead you just can’t keep him outta your mind.
Why can’t you just tell me that I’m not who you want to be,
Baby you don’t want me, no, no, no.

[Chorus:]
So what I’m trying to say, I know what’s happening,
Your body is here with me,
But your heart and your mind is still with him.

Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we’ll never work cause you don’t want it,
Girl, you belong with him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

[Bridge:]
And if that was really what you want,
I will not stand in your way, you want to be free
I will let you be,
I rather you have me, than miserable with me,
Back to what you know,
Back to what you know,
Said back to what you know.

[Chorus:]
Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we’ll never work cause you don’t want,
Girl, you belong to him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

So there ain’t no need to make those lies
You’re stuck in the past,
Pedal to the gas and drive away

Titolo: Part Of The List

Style of your hair
Shape of you eyes and your nose
The way you stare, as if you see right through to my soul
To your left hand and the way that its not quite as big as your right.
The way u stand in the mirror before we go out at night.
Our quiet time
Your beautiful mind

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce

The way your sweet smell, lingers when you leave a room.
Stories you tell, as we lay in bed, all afternoon
I dreamed you now every night, in my mind is where we meet
And when im awake, staring at pictures of you asleep
Touching your face
Invading your space.

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce.

And you live in my memories forever more, i swear

And you live in my memories forever more, i swear

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce.

Aye hey hey

Titolo: So You Can Cry

So it’s over
He’s with someone else, and you know her
And you just can’t get any lower
You sit in the dark alone
You won’t answer your phone

Well, I’m sorry
I won’t attend your pity party
I’d rather go have calamari
And maybe a drink
And yes, I think you should come with me

Life isn’t long
There will be pain but life goes on
With every day, a brand new song
But if you’d rather stay at home
Let me do you a favor

[Chorus:]
I’ll ask the sun to shine away from you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright
And I’ll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright
Ohhhh if that’s what you want alright

I’m a lover
And the pain of the heart from another
Can be difficult to recover
Yes, this I know
But difficult isn’t impossible

And you shiver
He was your warmth
You cry, lips quiver
Well, honey, go on and cry me a river
If you wanna be down
Well then, fine let me help you out
How about

[Chorus:]
I’ll ask the sun to shine away from you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright
And I’ll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright
Ohhhh if that’s what you want alright

And your tears won’t bring him back
I know you wish that it did
But it just don’t work like that
I know that healing takes time
Even your heart has a pace
But how much time are you gonna to take?
Too much would be a mistake

[Chorus:]
I’ll ask the sun to shine away from you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright
And I’ll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you today
So you can cry
If that’s what you want alright

I’ll ask the sun to shine away from you today
So you can cry

[Whispers:]
If that’s what you want alright

Titolo: Fade Into The Background

She looks so good in that white dress
At the far end of the aisle
Standing where I should be standing
Some other man on his face there’s a smile

I just walked in sat down silent
I stood outside for awhile
Wondering why did I come here
Face it you messed up and now she’s with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I’ll say congratulations and I’ll fade into the background

Such a lovely reception
I sit here sipping rose
Then we catch eyes for a second
Both of us smile then quickly look away

It’s funny you don’t know what you got
Till you ain’t got it no more
Put down my glass grab the bottle
I throw it back and I shout she with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I’ll say congratulations and I’ll fade into the background

Fade right into the background

She’s with somebody else
And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I’ll say congratulations and I’ll fade into the background

Titolo: Why Does She Stay

Why does she stay… mmmmmmm
Why does she stay… hey… mmmmmmm
Why does she stay… heyyy… mmmmmmm… uh

She hates that I don’t do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
I know that I should but I’m lazy so I don’t (mmmm yeah)
She’s always considering my feelings
Thinkin of me before herself
Most of the time I’m so damn selfish
I don’t even realize she treats me so well

She’s so much better than me
I’m so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh… Why does she stay
Why does she stay… why…

She hates that we don’t spend much time (ouwow)
We barely see each other at all (ouwow)
She don’t even nag me ’bout always working
She just says I just wish every now and then that you’d call (ouwow)
And I don’t know why she’s still here (mmm ouwow)
She could have any man that she wants
I step outside of myself
To see how much she loves me
And all the things that I should do for her that I just don’t… just don’t…
And I realize

She’s so much better than me (so much better)
I’m so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)

Ouhhhhh… Why does she stay
Why does she stay with me… tell me why… why why why…

She’s in love
She’s in love
She’s in love
And I don’t understand
And I don’t understand
She’s in love
She’s in love
She’s in love
Gotta be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I’m suppose to do
Because I just can’t see my life without you

Ohhh ohhhh yeahhhh

Why does she stay

She’s so much better than me
I’m so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh… Why does she stay
Why does she stay… tell me why… why why why

Why does she stay
