Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Mary J Blige
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful, faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful, faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more
And through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates, if the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Ooh ooh oh oh oh don't y'all wait. No. Have now
My Favorite Things lyrics - Mary J Blige
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown-paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown-paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
I simply remember my favorite things
Like silver-white winters that melt into springs
And then I don't feel so bad
So bad, so bad, so bad
This Christmas lyrics - Mary J Blige
Hang all this mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
Yeah
This Christmas
Fireside's blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Yeah yeah
Alright
Presents and cards here
My world is filled with cheer
With you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes, they outshine the town
They do
This Christmas
Fireside's blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Yeah
Merry Christmas all over the land
Oh, it's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Oh, fireside's blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Yeah
Oh, shake a hand, shake a hand
Yeah yeah yeah
Merry Christmas all over the land
Have a Merry Merry Christmas, yeah
And a Happy New Year, yeah yeah
I hope that it's full of cheer, oh yeah
Hope you get everything you want for Christmas
Hope your families are together
Hope that everyone is safe and sound
Merry Christmas, everybody
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) lyrics - Mary J Blige
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
Oh, to you
Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics - Mary J Blige
Come on, bass
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
Come on, drums
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
Oh, they never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you come and guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Oh, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Oh, then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Oh, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"
Yes yes
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Oh, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"
Woo, hmm hmm hmm
Man, that was fun!
When You Wish Upon A Star lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti)
When a star is born, they possess a gift or two
One of them is this, they have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
And if your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
Fate is kind, so kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt, like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams, your dreams come true
All your dreams come true
Mary, Did You Know lyrics - Mary J Blige
Mary, Mary, Mary
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your Baby Boy would walk where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you know you kissed the face of God?
Did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, the Great "I Am"
Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary, did you know?
Do You Hear What I Hear? lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Jessie J)
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace all mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Silver and gold, almighty king, almighty king
A child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold, silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A child, a child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Petit Papa Noël lyrics - Mary J Blige
C'est la belle nuit de Noël
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
A genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupières
Font une dernière prière
Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Mais, avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu à cause de moi
Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve
Et que je t'ai commandés
Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage
Viens d'abord sur notre maison
Je n'ai pas été tous les jours très sage
Mais j'en demande pardon
Oh, Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Petit Papa Noël
The First Noel lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. The Clark Sisters)
The first noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked, they looked up and they saw a star
Shining bright in the east, beyond them far
And to, to the earth, it gave great light, whoo whoo
So it, so it, so it, so it continued both day and night, woo
Noel (Noel), noel (noel), noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
The first noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields, where they lay
Oh in fields (in fields) where they (where they) lay, keeping their sheep (keeping their sheep)
On (Oooooon)a cold winter's night that was, oh, it was so deep
Help me sing
Noel (Noel), noel (noel), noel, no no no noel
(Born is the King of Israel) He was born, born as the King of Israel
Born as the King, of Israel
The first noel
Jesus Christ is born today, yes he is
Peace on earth, good will toward men
Born is the King, born is the King
Of, of Israel
Noel (Noel), noel (noel), noel (noel), noel (noel)
Born is the King (Born is the King), oh
Born is The King (Born is the King), oh
Born is the King (Born is the King), of Israel
Noche De Paz (Silent Night) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Marc Anthony)
[Mary J. Blige:]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace, mm
[Marc Anthony (Mary J. Blige):]
Noche de paz, noche de amor (Silent night, holy night)
Todo duerme al rededor (Shepherds quake at the sight)
Sólo velan en la oscuridad
Los pastores que en el campo están (Hallelujah)
Y la estrella de Belén
Y la estrella de Belén
[Mary J. Blige & Marc Anthony:]
Christ, the Savior is born (Christ, the Savior)
Christ, the Savior
[Both, Marc Anthony & Mary J. Blige:]
Noche de paz, noche de amor
Todo duerme en derredor
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz
Viene anunciando al niño Jesús (Oh)
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella (Brilla la estrella) de paz
Winter Wonderland lyrics - Mary J Blige
(originally by Richard Himber)
Sleigh bells ring. Are your listening?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight. We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town!"
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unfraid
The plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Now
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kids come knock him down
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
Yeah
To face unfraid
The plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
To face unfraid
The plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Silent Night lyrics - Mary J Blige
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night
Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly, heavenly peace
O Holy Night lyrics - Mary J Blige
Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night, oh, holy night, oh, night divine
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh, night divine
Do You Hear What I Hear? - Solo Version lyrics - Mary J Blige
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Said the night wind to the little lamb
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?"
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?"
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace, almighty king
Do you know what I know?"
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Silver and gold
Oh, mighty king
Oh, mighty king
A child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
"Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say."
A child, a child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?

Feel Inside lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Nas)
Let's get it
[Mary J. Blige:]
Turn the track up a little bit
We need to rock in here
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna make you happy
[Nas:]
I'm not at all happy or elated, this category ain't my favorite
It's my story, I'mma state it, you could love it or hate it
I'm just a misfit blessed with good dick and intelligence
Hood nigga holding no grudges on petty shit
I started, why are we cold-hearted, so guarded
Scared to get hurt, trying not to love the hardest
That's garbage, remember when we loved each other
Bathtub scrubbed each other, chillin', champagne spillin'
Uh, feelin' like the shit gon' last forever
Time went so fast, we had a blast together
Laughs we had, friends we spent time with
Now I be seeing your friends out, then I'm reminded
How we all used to gather up for the holidays
Now your friends all nervous to speak, they act afraid
I was your bestie, how it get to this
As I reminisce, takin' off my MJs in my empty crib
Mary
[Mary J. Blige:]
I wanna make you happy
But you just don't see it
I wanna be around, babe
But I'm so tired of competing
We say all the wrong things
'Til we make each other cry
What are we doing?
Will it ever get better?
My heart, my soul
I gave, it's yours
I can't get back
All the things that I lost
Boy, I love you
But you're pushing me away
I gave you everything that I got
Watched my feelings walk on by
Ever get sick of trying?
This is how I feel inside
I feel inside
This is how I feel, this is how I feel
Now I was hoping
We'd get through this together
You said you'd love me
Through all types of stormy weather
Wasn't it you who said
We'd be together for all time
But it keeps messing with my mind, oh oh
My heart, my soul
I gave, it's yours
I can't get back
All the things that I lost
I need you here near me
But I can't make you stay
I gave you everything that I got
Watched my feelings walk on by
Ever get sick of trying?
This is how I feel inside
I feel inside
This is how I feel, this is how I feel
I never thought that I would have this feeling
Do you think for once that you can truly mean it?
Wasting so much time disagreeing
See, I'm to the point where I don't know what I believe in
[Nas:]
If you don't want this, I don't want this, I do my morning crunches
Play my jazz, pray to the east, and watch the sunset
Uh, but yet I was blowin' you up the other night
Could tell your girl was telling you what to write back
Tell me why it's like that
[Mary J. Blige:]
So make up your mind, boy decide
We can't go on like this, this ain't right (it ain't right)
Feeling really bad, feeling kinda low
Think it's time to go, oh oh
I gave you everything that I got
Watched my feelings walk on by
Ever get sick of trying?
This is how I feel inside
I feel inside
This is how I feel, this is how I feel
[Nas (Mary J. Blige):]
Sir Nas, Mrs. Mary J. Blige
And this is her life
Yeah, this is her life
Yeah, yeah yeah
(This is how I feel, this is how I feel)
Yeah
Let me hear that
(Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn)
Midnight Drive lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Brook Lynn)
[Mary J. Blige:]
Brook Lynn, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh
Turn the lights down
[Mary J. Blige as Brook Lynn:]
Uh, need it in my life now
And when I say now I mean right now
Super duper clean, I need a wipe down
Caught me for a second
Now he tryin' make a wife now
Hype now workin' with them cameras
Fly chick, Louis bag, Louis bandannas
Got him goin' crazy 'cause the sex is bananas
He just wanna spoil me to watch me have a tantrum
Homegirls love me and we be ridin' Phantoms
Mad chicks hatin' 'cause I be writin' anthems
Plus, you know I'm loaded, just signed an expansion
Yeah, I'm goin' 'cause he's dark and he's handsome
[Mary J. Blige:]
When he calls me
When he calls and says "come over"
I'm there to give him all of me
If I'm twisted, if I'm sober
Ah yeah
Because his kisses (Hey)
Seem to start a chain reaction
You gotta see it to believe it
You gotta feel
And when you feel it, you know it's real
It's something different, something crazy happens
I'll come running when I hear my phone ring
And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight
Tryna get to my baby
Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'
I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive
Gotta get to my baby, yeah
Gotta, gotta get to my baby
Yeah, yeah
Gotta get to my baby, yeah
When he tells me
When he tells me that he needs me
I'm there
We can fight all of the nights he held me
I love the way he kisses me deeply
Ah yeah
Because his kisses (Hey)
Seem to start a chain reaction
You gotta say it to believe it
You gotta feel
And when you feel you know it's real
It's something different, something crazy happens
I'll come running when I hear my phone ring
And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight
Tryna get to my baby
Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'
I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive
Gotta get to my baby, yeah
And I can't wait to be inside your arms
I don't care how long it's gon' take, boy, yeah
Oh, I'm on this midnight drive
I'm rushing to get there and it's so worth it
Because his kisses (Hey)
Seem to start a chain reaction
You gotta see it to believe it
And when you feel it
You know you feel something real
It's something different, something crazy happens
Oh, I'll come coming when I hear my phone ring
And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight
Tryna get to my baby
Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'
I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive
Gotta get to my baby, yeah
Gotta, gotta get to my baby

Next Level lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Busta Rhymes)
[Busta Rhymes:]
I said baby girl, lighting up the room like the light's up
You excite a nigga 'til you got me feeling niced up
Everything about it feels amazing, spiced up
Hot and steamy like my mother cooked a little rice up
See that 20 karats, please get it priced up
I'm past that girlfriend shit baby, wifed up
Elevated feeling like we going a couple flights up
Next level, with a hope you ain't afraid of height, what
Skyscrapers take it higher, even got a helicopter on the roof
Waiting for a small fire and add flame to the spark
And let us ride up to heavens to the next level
Let me do my part
[Mary J. Blige (Busta Rhymes):]
It feels like your hands were designed to be on my body
(You best believe that, and I agree with you too)
Like I was made to be your girl, yeah
(And you already know)
That's why I won't give my time to just anybody
(You know I'm with you, baby)
'Cause my time's your time, my world's your world
So if it's cool with you
I'm a tell my girls go out tonight without me
Got thing's to do with you
Let's bring the party to the house tonight
'Cause tonight I'm ready yeah
I'd rather play with my baby
I think it's time that me and him go
To the next level
Uh, I'm gon' love him like crazy
I hope he's ready 'cause we gonna go to the next level
[Busta Rhymes (Mary J. Blige):]
Baby ain't nothing left to do but rock on
Want a G5 to the next level, hop on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
I love it when we're in the bed and we cuddle
Or you riding out with me like we on a space shuttle
(Let's go (yeah) to the next level)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Mary J. Blige (Busta Rhymes):]
And I'm OK as long as I got your arms around me
(You know I love when I got my arms around you too)
I feel free to lose control
(Let it go baby)
And I was lost in love, so glad that you found me
'Cause your love's too good, too just, let go
So if it's cool with you

Got thing's to do with you

That's the way it was
It happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holdin' me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
It filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better, than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better, no
And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh! My nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feelin' most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
25/8 lyrics - Mary J Blige
25/8
I can love you with my eyes closed
I see your heart through a blindfold
I ain't never ever met another better
So my baby ain't no way that I'ma let go
From the North to the South Pole
On the East or the West Coast
Every area code, all over the globe
Ain't no way on the planet you can go that I won't
From sun up to sun down
I'll always be around
Every minute of every hour
Still it ain't enough time
'Cause I got days and days of love for you, boy
And I don't wanna have to rush
But 24/7 ain't enough, no
'Cause I got so much love for you, boy
I need another hour and a day
So I can love you 25/8, 25/8
You ain't gotta worry about me, no
Ain't no questioning my loyalty
You've been there for me even when nobody
Cared enough to check and see if I was breathing
See, don't nobody really know me (know me)
You and me, we got history
So I give you a part for loving me, boy
Put your hand in my hand, I'll lead the way out
From sun up to sun down
I'll always be around
Every minute of every hour
Still it ain't enough time
'Cause I got days and days of love, for you, boy
And I don't wanna have to rush
But 24/7 ain't enough, oh
'Cause I got so much love for you, boy
I need another hour and a day
So I can love you 25/8
Ain't nobody give me love, give me love like I need
See, I love the way you make me smile
When things ain't going right
You know how to hold me tight
And make the pain go away, oh yeah
Every day baby, every night baby (Every night)
On the weekday, on any day
On everyday, I'm alive baby
I'ma love you, help me sing it out
Every day baby, every night baby
On the weekday, on any day
On every day, I'm alive baby
I'ma love you, help me sing it out
Days and days and days of love, for you, boy
And I don't wanna have to rush
But 24/7 ain't enough
'Cause I got so much love for you boy
I need another hour and a day
So I can love you 25/8
I need days and days, I need days and days of love
I need days and days, I need days and days of love
Don't Mind lyrics - Mary J Blige
Baby I love you
(Love you, love you)
When I leave
Do you think about me?
When you're gone
I can't wait 'til you get home, home, home
You were wrong
So was I
So what are we gonna do?
So tonight
I'mma try
Whatever you wanna do
It's up to you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
They have tried, yeah
To get what yours and what's mine
(They can't have what's mine, they can't have what's mine)
But it would take a lifetime
To get between you and I
They were right
Love is blind
I can't see nothin' but you
So tonight
I'mma try whatever you wanna do
It's up to you, baby
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
We might fight, sometimes we disagree
You're not right, but that's alright with me
Love it when you're calling out my name
Baby, I'mma do the same
I ain't scared to let you know
I would never let you go
You're the only one I need
Baby, come to me
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
And that's why I
Don't mind
Saying I
Love you
Saying I love you
Is giving you strength to
Ready my heart
But I'm trusting you now too
No Condition lyrics - Mary J Blige
Can't even hide it, it's written on my face
And I don't have any more time or energy to waste
So I'm waving my white flag
Sad it has to be like that
It ain't working out, baby, in another life or space
Oh I, baby, I gave you, ooh
Everything that I could give you
So I made my decision
Loving you's been a mission
Now I'm in no condition
To love you (No more)
I'm in no condition
Oh yeah, yeah, oh
Said I'm waving my white flag
Sad it has to be like that
Barely any happy days
We always seem to have drama (Too much drama)
And it's really weighing heavy on me, baby
Both of us acting crazy
I hate it when we fight
Middle of the night
Always seems to remind me
Of how much it hurts
To know it's getting worse
My faith in us is slowly dying
Oh I, baby, I gave you, ooh oh
Everything that I could give you
So I made my decision
Loving you's been a mission
Now I'm in no condition
To love you
No, I'm in no condition
Hey, whoa
Hey, whoa
Hey (I'm in no condition to love)
Whoa (I'm in no condition to love)
Hey (I'm in no condition to love)
Whoa (no condition), damn
How did you go from being my best friend
To me barely even wanting your affection?
I never would've thought (Hey)
That I would be some wannabe, oh no
Hold me down (Hey)
Hold me down (Oh)
Baby, hold me down
Even though it's sad to say it's over now
I can't love you under these conditions
So I made my decision
Loving you's been a mission
(Loving you, loving you's been a mission)
I'm in no condition
To love you
I'm in no condition
Hey (I'm in no condition to love, no)
Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)
Hey (I'm in no condition to love you)
Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)
Hey (I'm in no condition to love, no)
Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)
Hey (I'm in no condition to love you)
Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)
I'm in no condition to love (No condition, baby)
I'm in no condition to love, no
I'm in no condition to love you (Hey)
No
Mr. Wrong lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Drake)
[Drake:]
Don't it seem like
Like I'm always there when it matters
But missing most of the other time
A terrible pattern
The rewards I see from working
Made me an addict
There's way more people that want it
Than people that have it
I don't get it, I would hate to think I tricked 'em
They fall victim to my system
Guess I sure know how to pick em
And I'm always her regret
Yeah, I'm always her regret
And I always make it harder on whoever's coming next
It goes up and down, it's just up and down
She's crying now but she'll laugh again
'Cause we on the rise and she here with us
And expensive shit, just keeps happening
She loves it, she stares at me like who does this
And we hold hands while I pray that she's not the type to hold grudges
I'm wrong
[Mary J Blige:]
Bad boys ain't no good
Good boys ain't no fun
Lord knows that I should
Run off with the right one
Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)
Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)
We got a special thing going on
Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)
Even if I try, no, I never could
Give him up 'cause his love's like that
Ain't no way that I'm moving on
I love my Mr. Wrong
Hung up off your good
You call and I run
My fam' is screaming at me don't do it
"Don't do it, Mary!"
I guess they never had none
Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)
Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)
We got a special thing going on (Going on)
Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)
Even if I try, no, I never could
Give him up 'cause his love's like that
Ain't no way that I'm moving on
I love my Mr. Wrong
When he put that loving on me, I can't think of nothing
That'll make me walk out
I'm holding on
I love my Mr. Wrong
He be kissing and touching on me
I can't help but love him
I must be out my mind
For going so strong
I love my Mr. Wrong
Mr. Wrong
Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)
Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)
We got a special thing going on(Going on)
Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)
Even if I try, no, I never could (I never could)
Give him up 'cause his love's like that
Ain't no way that I'm moving on
I love my Mr. Wrong
Mr. Wrong
Why lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Rick Ross)
[Rick Ross:]
With the ghetto in my rear view, you are my every tomorrow
The world is ours... Mary J. Blige
[Mary J. Blige:]
I've been logging in my bed, crying 'til my eyes are red
We both said that things will change
But it's still the same shade of gray
I get mad you walk away
When it all just start to fade
I know you're fed up so am I
But we just can't say goodbye
Boy, you know I love you
But I just can't go on no more
Feelin' this way
You got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right? (Just can't get it right)
Just can't get it right (Can we get it right?)
Don't know why, why, why?
Can't we get it right
No matter how hard we try
[Rick Ross:]
I got her looking at me sideways
Live every night like it's a Friday
My conversations are so monumental
Licking on her ear, I'm whispering a couple riddles
She fell in love with my technique
I made her call me boss when in the bedsheets
We both coming from the same place
All in her both coming at the same place
Still on my dope boy swag
Top down on my Cam'ron, Oh boy swag
Played the hand we were dealt from the beginning, baby
You the dealer, cut the deck, while we winning baby
[Mary J. Blige:]
You got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right? (Just can't get it right)
Just can't get it right (Get it right)
Don't know why, why, why?
Can't we get it right (Just can't get it right)
No matter how hard we try
Why can't we turn love around
We build it up to break it down
If you knew the way I feel
You would know that this love is real
But live in Heaven, go to hell then
Go right back, across the lesson
Tired of stressin', get the message
I can't live in this depression no more
Boy, you know I love you
But I just can't go on (no more) feeling like this no more
You got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right? Just can't get it right
Just can't get it right. Get it right
Don't know why, why, why?
Can't we get it right (Just can't get it right)
No matter how hard we try
[Mary J. Blige {Rick Ross}:]
Back on my own again (Back on my own, back on my own)
I don't want this to end (I don't want it to end)
But baby I need (I need, I need) a friend to show me some more (to show me some more)
And I think it should be you
{I love this part right here, look where we came from, Mary}
I just want you to show me, to show me some love yeah
[Rick Ross:]
Characteristics of a charismatic nigga
20 million on a villa, what's illa
We livin', lil boys gotta work at that
Gettin' cash, so I snatch my girl a Birkin bag
Blowin kisses out the drop top, that nigga got guop
Stay in ya house when the block hot
Makin love that will not stop
Bed sheets to the countertop
Diamonds my baby down to rock
Hold your blessings up baby, with the presents of greatness
It's the queen lifetime, Mary J

Love A Woman lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Beyoncé)
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)
[Mary J. Blige (Beyoncé):]
A woman, she needs more than material things
And a woman needs so much more that what a man can say
(A woman, needs you to make love to her, she needs more than sex
A real woman needs a real man that don't talk about it
Be about it
Put that work, and still shows his woman real romance)
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)
[Beyoncé (Mary J. Blige):]
A woman, she likes to talk and work it out
And a woman likes for you to watch her back
Protect her crown
(A woman don't only want your make-up sex
She wants your respect
And a real woman never wanna walk into a room
See another woman knowing information
She don't even know about her man)
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)
Make your way home at a decent hour every night
(Pick up your phone
Just to say you're still in love from time to time
Remind her that she's still beautiful in your eyes
And ride with your woman
Make her feel that you're always on her side
When she cries, ask her what she's feeling
Let her know you sympathize)
[Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige:]
Gotta swallow your pride
Got some making up to do, gotta make it right
Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Gotta take you time
I said kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Say it one more time, say it one more time
Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Gotta take your time
Don't want a minute man
We wanna have fun until she finish man
If that's asking to much
You'll never know how to really
Love a woman
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)
[Mary J. Blige:]
Oh
You think you know how to love a woman?
Oh no...no
Irreversible lyrics - Mary J Blige
I'm gon' love you anyway
I'm gon' love you anyway
I'm gon' love you anyway
Look how the tables turn
You're at a loss for words
Just let it go
It's been too long for us to let it burn
I know you're mad right now
But we're gonna talk this out
Better or worse, that's what we said
So there's no walking out
We don't always see eye to eye
I can be wrong, you can be right
Let's call it a night
'Cause it ain't worth the fight
Whatever it's gonna take, we gon' try
I've got your heart, and you've got mine
So there's no saying goodbye
No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out
'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind
We can't go back in time
'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
I get emotional
Sometimes you treat me cold
But love's still here, won't disappear
Can't let it take control
We may just lose our way when we communicate
Can't nothing come between you and me
We're a forever thing, yeah
We don't always see eye to eye
Oh, I got your heart, and you've got mine
So there's no saying goodbye
No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out
'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind
We can't go back in time (Can't go back in time)
'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
I'm gon' love you anyway (anyway)
Anyway babe (anyway), I'm gon love you, yea(anyway)
I'm gon' love you anytime (anyway), any day (anyway)
So let's try to make it right
No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out
This love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind
We can't go back in time (We can't go back in time)
'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible
Oh oh oh
Work it out, work it out, work it out
(I'm gon' love you anyway)
I'm gon' love you anyway, baby baby
'Versible, 'versible, versible
(I'm gon' love you anyway)
Baby, yeah
(I'm gon' love you anyway)
Irreversible, 'versible
Empty Prayers lyrics - Mary J Blige
I try my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
Too busy praying for a miracle
And you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me
I prayed about us every night
Boy, I know you had to hear me
You could've stopped me then and told the truth
But instead you put a pillow over your head
And you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door, babe
You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me
You should've told me it was useless, that I was praying empty prayers
But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
And I know that He had something better to do
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool
Could've been saving the world from a tragedy
But instead He was listening to me
I was asking, begging for a sign
To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently you're not what I need
I guess you walking out was Him answering
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me
I try my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
Need Someone lyrics - Mary J Blige
From where you stand, it's no way to change it
No way to make it make sense
And it's lonely there, there in the spotlight
Well honey, don't I understand?
But you
You need someone to love you
You need someone to hold you tonight
Someone to love you, someone to love you
Someone to love you, someone to love you
When you look at me, try hard to hide it
Try hard to keep it all in
Well, I found you out, discovered your secrets
Well honey, it ain't a sin!
But you
You need someone to love you
You need someone to hold you tonight
Someone to love you, someone to love you
Someone to love you, someone to love you
Oh, yeah
It doesn't have to be me
Who
But you
You need someone to love you
You need someone to tell you everything is alright
Someone to love you, someone to love you
Someone to love you
The Living Proof lyrics - Mary J Blige
(from "The Help" soundtrack)
It's gonna be a long long journey
It's gonna be an uphill climb
It's gonna be a tough fight
There's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I'm so glad the worst is over
('Cause it almost took me out)
I can start living now
Ooh, I feel like I can do anything
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
'Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me, oh
I'm the living proof
Oh, yes I am
Thinkin' 'bout life's been painful
(Yes it was)
Took awhile to learn how to smile
So now I'm gonna talk to my people, oh oh
About the storm, oh
About the storm, oh
So glad the worst is over
('Cause it's all beneath me now)
I can start flying now, oh ho
My best days are right in front of me
Yet I'm almost there
'Cause now I'm free, oh
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
'Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me, oh
I'm the living proof
I know where I'm going, hey
'Cause I know where I've been, oh oh
I got a few stars that's showin', hey
I'ma stay strong, keep going
That's the way that I'll win
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
(Everything you do)
You can't deny the truth
'Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me, yeah yeah
I'm the living proof
Nothing 'bout my life's been easy, no
But nothing's gonna keep me down, no, down, no
'Cause I know a lot more today
Than I knew yesterday
So I'm ready to carry on
Oh Lordy, mm
Miss Me With That lyrics - Mary J Blige
I heard them all
All them lies
Lost count about around a thousand times
But here it comes, another lie
Whoa oh whoa
You lost your phone
It slipped your mind
Promised the last time was the last time
Already know what you're gon' say
So save it, don't waste your breath
Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act
The only part of you I wanna see is your back
Miss me with that, save it for the next one
Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one
You better ask somebody about me
Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me
I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)
Miss me with that
Are you hearing me?
Look in my eyes
I ain't got it in me anymore to fight, no
I'm over this, this waste of time
Whoa oh whoa oh
Your car broke down
You're working late
Or maybe today was just an ungodly day
Already know what you gon' say, so save it
Don't waste your breath
Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act
The only part of you I wanna see is your back
Miss me with that, save it for the next one
Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one
You better ask somebody about me
Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me
I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)
Miss me with that
I bet you think that you've been getting over on me
But I'm shaking my head like Eve, damn what you believe
You ain't foolin' me
Don't know why but I still love you, wanna trust you
But I can't
So whatever you're about to say, boy, miss me with that
Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act
The only part of you I wanna see is your back
(Only part I wanna see is your back)
Miss me with that, save it for the next one
Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one
(Just got over one)
You better ask somebody about me
Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me
I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)
Miss me with that
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye (This is my goodbye)
Miss me
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye
Miss me
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye
Miss me
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye
Miss me
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye
Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies
This is my goodbye
Someone To Love Me (Naked) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Diddy, Lil Wayne)
[Puff Daddy & (Mary J. Blige):]
(It's a shame that y'all put me in such a box... Check it!)
Ayo Mary, I want you to talk to 'em like you're supposed to
Come on
[Mary J. Blige:]
Looking for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
I'm no angel, there's so much I can take
Calm down, patience, don't lose your temper, hold on, wait
I've got issues just like you, sometimes I get so confused
I'm strong but I can break
I be praying so hard to get through the day
Bad thoughts in my mind I can't shake
Having nightmares in the day can you relate?
Please somebody calmly wake me
I can't let this cold world take me, I was looking
[Diddy:]
My drama, my karma
My love, my life, dear momma
The wars I've fought, scars that I've garnered
The hustle, I got that honest from my father
Mix me with violence, blend me with peace
Combine me with hate and I can't face defeat (nope)
I did it all in a week
Still incomplete as I stand on my feet
It take a lot to still dance to the beat
Skin more cold and callous than concrete
I love swimming but there's just one ski
In a rich man's cheap hotel with bed sheets
Uh ah, you know what I'm looking for
Looking for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Lil Wayne:]
It's my life, my life, word to Mary
Niggas can't fuck with me, Virgin Mary
Go ahead make my day, dirty Harry
Weezy, fuck the world, pop the cherry
Everybody pushing but I don't fall back
And everybody looking but blind to the fact
The clock on the wall say it's time for some action
Now you can take that to the bank and cash in
I'm feeling myself, fuck if they feeling me
Can't spell them without me, it's them or me
Yesterday was a memory
Looking in the mirror at my enemy
But today I'm
Looking for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Mary J Blige:]
My rise, my falls, enemies wanna see me crawl
My ups, my downs, y'all know I've been around
But sometimes it bothers me when I hear people say a non truth
Am I sane, am I crazy, pick one there all the same
In this world we're living in
I'ma make mistakes, I'm only human
I was looking for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me

Get It Right lyrics - Mary J Blige
You can search the galaxy
But you'll never find another me
And I'm cool on your attitude
You'll be trying prove you don't need me in your life
But you'd better wake up and starting giving me what I deserve
You need to be loving me like money
I want you stuck like bees to honey
I need you addicted to this good love
That I'm giving don't be fronting
You need to hold on and don't let go
I wanna feel you take control
You don't wanna wake up one morning
To see you lost your heart and soul
You better get it right
Boy it's time for you to get it right
You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life
You can swim the ocean wide
But you won't discover love like mine
I'ma need you to understand if you gonna be my man
Then you gotta show that you wanna be here
You better start acting like you know
Ooh
You need to be loving me like money
I want you stuck like bees to honey
I need you addicted to this good love
That I'm giving don't be fronting
You need to hold on and don't let go
I wanna feel you take control
You don't wanna wake up one morning
To see you lost your heart and soul
You better get it right
Boy it's time for you to get it right
You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life
[Taraji P. Henson:]
Had me playing with my head inception
Talking 'bout he loving me but I ain't feeling it
You's a bad joke yeah a crowd of smoke
So I'ma fall back in the rear coach gold
I gave him everything that he needed
Oh but now his phone number's been deleted
You couldn't get this right
Booking the next train up out of yo life
Ya better get it right
You need to be loving me like money
I want you stuck like bees to honey
I need you addicted to this good love
That I'm giving don't be fronting
You need to hold on and don't let go
I wanna feel you take control
You don't wanna wake up one morning
To see you lost your heart and soul
You better get it right
Boy it's time for you to get it right (out of sight)
You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life
You Want This lyrics - Mary J Blige
If you're beautiful, put up your hand
If you're feeling good, then do your dance
And don't let nothing in the world ever break you down

One Life lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. U2)
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you, darling, if you don't care for it
Mary
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well, it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Think we had each other
Think we do it again
Love is a temple
Love is a higher love
Love is a temple
Love is a higher love
You asked me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on to what you've got
'Cause all you've got has hurt
One love
One love
One life
You got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters and my brothers
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
One
One
One
One
One love
One life
Bounce Back 2.0 lyrics - Mary J Blige
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Life is real
Life is really, really real yeah
I'm always ready for the bounce back
I ain't stressing, I'm just feeling what I'm feeling
I'mma always be around, I don't doubt that
Every time it hurts, love gon' heal it
'Cause I got the strength to keep building
And you know I'll always bounce back
Never turn back
Love is like that
Ladies let me tell you something
We come too far to lose
We'll win this battle
We suffer hard for love
Look what we're made of
Beautiful scars on us
This life is what we make it
Won't change a thing
Ain't worried about it no
What I been through, yeah
All the suffering and fighting
But still I pull through, yeah
Still we rise and we fall every time
Life is really, really real yeah
I'm always ready for the bounce back (I'm ready)
I ain't stressing, I'm just feeling what I'm feeling (oh)
I'mma always be around, I don't doubt that (I don't doubt that, no)
Every time it hurts, love gon' heal it
'Cause I got the strength to keep building (keep building, yeah)
And you know I'll always bounce back (always)
Never turn back (yeah, yeah)
Love is like that (yeah)
We be so foolish (so foolish)
If we just give it up (give it up)
No, we're not perfect (no, no, no, no)
Because we've all mess up (um)
Look what we're made of
We see these flaws through love
And each time we get further
Won't change a thing
Ain't worried about it no
What I've been through, yeah
All the suffering and fighting
But still I pull through, yeah
Still we rise and we fall every time
Life is really, really real yeah (really, really, real)
I'm always ready for the bounce back (ready for the bounce back)
I ain't stressing, I'm just feeling what I'm feeling (whoa, oh)

And you know I'll always bounce back (always)

Can't Be Life lyrics - Mary J Blige
(from "Body Cam" soundtrack)
I got more than any one woman should, I'm blessed
Have been given more than I needed, I don't deserve it
'Cause when I'm lying in a coffin and I can't take one thing
All that really matters to be living don't mean a thing, yeah
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
I've been torn down like a worn-down crumbling building
But I'm up now, well I'm up now and I'm still living
I was chained to the pain and I couldn't feel nothing
I was waiting on somebody to come fill me with something, yeah
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
Think I reached the ceiling in my current state of being
Oh, but I'm tryna go higher, I'm tryna go higher
Think I reached the ceiling in my current state of being
But I'm tryna go higher, I'm tryna go higher
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
There's got to be more to life than this
This can't be life, no, this can't be real
Hourglass lyrics - Mary J Blige
(from "Mary J. Blige's My Life" soundtrack)
If you could see your seconds in an hourglass
If you could see the minutes of a life you had
Would you run and would you try
To win it back?
If you can see a future in a photograph
If you could see the light that you wish you had
Could you be strong and carry on
With what you have?
Why we wasting life?
Should be chasing life
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it to the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
If you were on your knees, would you take a stand?
If you were in deep, would you take my hand?
Could you lie and lose your pride
To live again?
If you could wake up and see through yourself
Could you find a room to blame someone else?
Could you change in just a day
And cry for help?
Why we wasting life?
Should be chasing life
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it to the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
'Cause you're not alone, no, you're not alone
We've all been wasting time
No, it's not too late for us to make it right
But we still have today
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it to the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
It's All Love lyrics - Anderson .Paak, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige & George Clinton
(from "Trolls World Tour" soundtrack)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Yeah)
Started off a team
Ballin' till we get the ring
We wanna compete
But it's the weekend
We should link and party
Till I need some ice on my knees
Chillin' with my niece, cousins, aunties
Come on everybody
What you bringin' to the pot luck? I'm excited
Everybody got a spot, love, you're invited
Hate is just lost love
So they hidin'
Never know try it
You just might like it
First, it was all love
Hands up super star love
That you can have it, you can have it all, love
But then you took it, took it all, love
All love
Turn it up louder
Sing along, get the crowd up
But then you took it all, love
Then forgot all about us but it's all love
(Oh, but it's all love)
Congratulations
You finally turned from the wrong station
Thank you for y'alls patience
I'll try not to make this a long statement
Momma said I shouldn't swear
So I'ma just put this on Dayton's
Nobody's born hatin'
Nobody's born fake
Why we fightin' over
Something we can all make?
That's stingy love
I'm just givin' love, ain't no givin' up
If you alive, only thing to do is live it up
I know you like that (Like that)
I know you really, really like that (Like that)
I know you not gonna do me like that
Give it to you bring it right back
First, it was all love
Hands up super star love (Stars up)
That you can have it you can have it all, love
(And you can get it how you want)
But then you took it took it all, love
All love
Turn it up louder (Turn it up louder)
Sing along get the crowd up (Get the crowd up, come on)
But then you took it all love
Then forgot all about us
But it's all love
I feel you
Sounds good in my ear
When I hear it like that
I feel you
I say I look good to the mirror
And it says it right back
I feel you
A little love wouldn't kill you (A little love wouldn't kill you)
You really did me wrong it was real cruel (It was cruel)
(Yeah) Had a lot of love and I still do 'cause I feel you
What you bringing to the potluck? You're invited
Lemme get a lil' rice, put it on the side
With a lil' love on it (I need some love)
What you put a rub on it? I can't get enough
I ain't never had nothin' like this
What you bringing to the potluck? You're invited
Lemme get a lil' rice, put it on the side
With a lil' love on it, What you put a rub on it?
I can't get enough
I can't get enough (Uh)
First, it was all love (First, it was love)
Hands up super star love (Hands up superstar love)
That you can have it, you can have it all, love
(You can get it how you want)
But then you took it took it all, love
All love
Turn it up louder (Turn the music up)
Sing along get the crowd up (Oh, get the crowd up)

And it says it right back (Oh)

You really did me wrong it was real cruel
Had a lot of love and I still do 'cause I feel you
Know lyrics - Mary J Blige
(Lord knows, it just ain't fair)
Give me some volume, give me some volume
You know, when hear the word "queen"
You automatically think of a woman getting everything she wants
But it's not like that at all (At all, at all)
See, being a ruler means sacrifice (Sacrifice, sacrifice)
Most of the time, you get less than what you give (What you give)
So every woman and mother in the world is a queen
Because she sacrificed so much (So much, so much, so much)
Gets so lonely sometimes
Some times I gotta clear my mind
Can't stop walking on water
Feels like I'm dealing at the altar
Gets so heavy sometimes
Carrying this weight of mine
Looks like the seas are partin'
So I might as well start walkin'
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
How many times I lost (How many times I lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh, yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no
How many times I've died (How many times I've died)
Just to live again, oh, yeah
When life was coming at me quick, I had to tuck in my emotions (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know He watchin', God, I made it look good, I was chosen
Gone through hell to get to heaven, build a bridge and get over
My snap-back's real, still thick in these jeans
I ain't missing no meals
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)
Know, know, know
How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no
How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)
Just to live again (No, they just don't know)
They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)
Know, know, know
How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no
How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)
Just to live again (No, they just don't know), yeah
