Overjoyed lyrics - Mary J Blige

(originally by Stevie Wonder)

Over time, I've been building my castle of love

Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason

I've gone much too far for you now to say

That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true

Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming

The sandman has come from too far away

For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do

They do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe

You too might be

Overjoyed, over-loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone

Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover

I've come much too far for me now to find

The love that I sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do

They do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe

You too might be

Overjoyed, over-loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable

What do they know?

For in romance

All true love needs is a chance

And maybe with a chance you will find

You too like I

Overjoyed, over-loved, over you, you

Over you

See What You've Done lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "Belly Of The Beast" soundtrack)

Hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm

Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)

Ooh, nah

No, oh whoa

No, oh whoa, oh-oh

(Hey DJ)

What's goin' on

When I gotta fight for a right that is rightfully mine?

What's goin' on

When the world can decide if a caged bird flies or ever gets a chance to grow?

Too many people are invisible

It's a problem, how can we ignore what's goin' on?

I got questions I need answers, it's been too long

Why I, I cry, I-I, oh why?

Do these tears keep runnin' dry?

But I just keep fightin'

'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over

It ain't over 'til it's done

'Til these shackles are broken

It ain't over

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

What's goin' on?

We got strength but no power

And all we've ever wanted was what's ours (What's ours)

Then one day we wake up and everything has changed

Who can I blame? (Who? Who?)

Who's gonna carry the shame? (Who? Who?)

After all of this pain, I'll never be this same

Why I, I cry, I-I, oh why? (Why?)

But while I still got time (Time)

I'll just keep on fightin' (Fightin')

'Cause it ain't over (No it ain't over), 'til it's over ('Til it's over)

It ain't over 'til it's done (Oh 'til it's done)

'Til these shackles are broken (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

It ain't over (Ooh, yeah, yeah)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done, oh, ooh, ooh)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done?(See what you've done, oh, oh)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done?

We won't lay down, we're survivors (We won't lay down)

All my scars are my reminders (My reminders)

We won't lay down, we're survivors (Oh-oh, oh, oh)

All my scars are my reminders

'Cause it ain't over ('Cause it ain't over)

('Cause it ain't over, 'cause it ain't over, 'cause it ain't over)

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word lyrics - Mary J Blige (originally by Elton John)

What do I got to do to make you love me?

What do I got to do to make you care?

What do I got to do when lighting strikes me?

And to wake to find that you're not there?

What do I got to do to make you want me?

What do I got to do to be heard?

And what do I say when it's all over, babe?

And "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad situation

And it's getting more and more and more absurd

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over, babe?

Whoa, it seems to me

That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad situation

And it's getting more and more and more absurd

Yes, it is

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over, babe?

Whoa, it seems to me

That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

What do I got to do to make you love me?

What do I got to do to make you care? Yeah

And what do I do when lighting strikes me?

What do I got to do, what do I got to do

When "sorry" seems to be the hardest word?

Still Believe In Love lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Vado)

[Vado:]

What up ha

Uh

I still believe in it, fear not

No strings attached, tongues out with your shell tops

Like Run-DMC wore, was lovin' you before

The G4s, yacht parties out on Capri shores

Ain't from Maryland but I think we could be more of an item (Uh-huh)

Size right on my ices

Trust me, nothing like 'em (At all)

Was times I would F they minds before I pipe 'em (I know)

Make 'em feel like the love of my life before I psych 'em

[Mary J. Blige:]

Well it's a whole new day, a whole new wave

Ain't worried about nothing

Everything's looking up, yeah

Well I was going through a phase, stuck in old ways

Always thinkin' somethin'

Like I ain't never good enough, yeah

I been thinkin' of the time that I wasted

I been lookin' in all the wrong places for love

That really brought me down, yeah

I'm so sick of being sad or lonely

Until I can find the one I know I need

I'll never give up on me, no

I still believe in love, oh

Oh love

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-doo

I still believe in love, huh-huh

Still believe in love

Huh-huh-huh

Still believe in love

Just 'cause you see me alone and I'm all on my own

It don't mean a thing

Just know I could find me somebody so easily, yeah

I can't lower my standards

I demand a guy to treat me like the queen that I be

In the middle of the night fantasize he only thinkin' 'bout me

I been thinkin' of the time that I wasted

I been lookin' in all the wrong places for love

That really brought me down, yeah

I'm so sick of being sad or lonely

Until I can find the one I know I need

I'll never give up on me, no

I still believe in love, oh

Oh love

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-doo

Them tough times made me made for you

Wish I was there to do them days with you

God bless you, you special

I first met you you was movin' with somethin'

But I could tell you was losin' with your uh

It goes back with men abusing the fun

Fresh from Essence

Harlem fly legend

Could tell he be flexin'

Pharrell LV dressin'

Collection

To see you happy be a blessin'

Guessin' no more stressin'

Yes me and you was destined (Uh)

Bad energy, negativity, leave that shit

You the captain of my boat, you can lead the ship

Thriving lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Nas)

[Mary J. Blige:]

Look what I did, I made history

They don't know what to do with me

Ain't lookin' back, keepin' it movin'

I know exactly how to do this

Keep smilin', make 'em wild out

Stay loud, don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky

Hold your crown up to the sky

Hey, time for us to go and get the money, y'all

Floodgates open, gonna take it all

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial, bigger the blessin'

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

You see, I'm on a mission (Yeah)

Ain't no baggage weighin' me down (No)

Had to get out my feelings (Ooh)

'Cause I'm tired of people seein' me drown

Smile, make 'em wild out

Stay loud, don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky (Oh)

Hold your crown up to the sky (Oh)

Hey, time for us to go and get the money, y'all (Yeah)

Floodgates open, gonna take it all (Take it all)

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial, bigger the blessin'

[Mary J. Blige & Nas:]

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (We're not just survivin')

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal (Oh, unbreakable)

Ooh, ooh (Unfadeable, yeah)

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Let's go, uh Esco, uh, yeah, uh)

[Nas:]

We're here for a good time, not a long time

And no bad vibe is gon' spoil mine

No such thing as the right time or wrong time

We don't do small time, we do royal time

I picture myself here as a small guy

Switched up gears from Nasty Nas and Nasir like

Cassius Clay to Ali, the greatest of all time

Financial page, my name in New York Times

Incredible milestones forever

It's set-in-stone, MJB the letters

Everybody that try to violate, we beat 'em for God's sake

Never mind that I'm reachin' my prime the second time, that's great

In record time, stop the hate

And love your life, fix your crown up straight

I dodged bullets and jail time and kept drivin'

Stood tall through it all, keep thrivin'

[Mary J. Blige:]

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here)

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no)

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

So whatever you want, go get it, go get it (Oh, so whatever)

I swear, whatever, it's yours, go get it, go get it (Oh, it's yours)

Joy and peace, hope for sure, go get it, go get it (Joy and peace, hopin', oh)

I swear, whatever, it's yours (It's yours), go get it (It's yours)

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here)

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no)

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

When I Can't Do Better lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

Don't hold your love over my head

Please don't use it against me

Don't be that way tonight

Don't be that way tonight

Don't touch me with self-righteous hands

Promise you won't judge me

Don't walk away tonight

Embrace me

Save me from myself

Don't you hate me

When I can't do better

Feel me

Heal me if you dare

It would kill me

To lose you forever, mm

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy

'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone

Stay with me now, oh

Pray for me now

When I mean good

But the strength just ain't there to do good

Tell me we good

Talk to me now, when I can't do better

If I give you power to carry me

Don't you use that power just to bury me

It's been a long night

Fuck it, it's been a long life, mm

But the truth is, what I do with it is my biz 'til I'm through with it

And it's my bed so I lay in it 'cause I'm cool with it

So embrace me

Save me from myself

Don't you hate me

When I can't do better

Feel me

Heal me if you dare

It would kill me

To lose you forever, mm

And I need you to know

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy

'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone

Stay with me now, oh-oh (With me now)

Pray for me now

When I mean good

But the strength just ain't there to be good

Tell me, we good?

Talk to me now, when I can't do better

When I can't do better

Ooh, baby, love me through it

We can do it, we can get through it

Oh, hey, hey, yeah

So embrace me, baby

Hold me, baby

When I can't do better

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

World's Gone Crazy lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "The View" soundtrack)

Everybody's talking 'bout how everything is falling apart

Let them worry, I'm just waiting, waiting for the party to start

Come along with me

We can grab the keys

Leave what used to be

In the rear-view mirror

Leave it all behind

See what we can find

Let's go

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go, we should go, we should go

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Everybody's talking 'bout how everything is coming undone

Think that means it's time, it's time for finding time for having some fun

Put your troubles down

Let some pressure out

You can scream and shout

If you wanna

'Cause we're going wild

Doing it in style

What else can we do

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go, we should go, we should go

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Maybe it's all falling, falling apart

Maybe we just need the party to start, yeah

We could use it (Use it), so let's do it (Do it)

Let the music take us over

World's gone crazy (Oh)

Life's gone crazy (Let's get crazy, yeah)

World's gone crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

World's gone crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

Let's get crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

Let's get crazy (Let's get crazy)

Crazy, crazy

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

Life is so, life is so, life is so

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Your Child (Kiyamma Griffin Uptempo Mix) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Ghostface Killah & Raekwon)

[Raekwon (Ghostface Killah):]

Yo word up, yo Ghost come here

Ooh, you in trouble

Yo Ghost man, you haven't found out

(What, what happened?)

I know she is frontin' (for real son)

Nah, nah man come on

She is on the block son (damn)

[Mary J. Blige:]

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

I couldn't believe my ears when she told me

You had a child and she was the girl

I thought I meant more to you

Shared thoughts with you, held hands with you

You loved only you, not me and not your child

Tell me why, is not worth your while

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

So many things you need to do

Like take care of your responsibilities

Stand tall and be a man, strong and understand

That the truth will set you free

No need for you to lie, to hurt on me

She said it and I believe it

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

What can I do, said it - I won't play with you...

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood...

[Ghostface Killah:]

It was the one night stand and the chick tracked me off

I was drunk and the stink-witch slit the condom off

We got seven years in, now boo now picture me

This Hollywood big-head bitch don't mean shit to me

Your eyes look sad and you are hurt boo, pardon

Self, put the drink down, Scotch is bad for your health

Why you slapped me in my sleep, with steamin

Hot grits in the bowl, fiendin to throw it at me

Chill! (Don't try to deny your own flesh and blood)

[Mary J. Blige:]

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

You got you hair done and your toes too.
You lookin’ good girl, if ain’t nobody told you.
Even the hood girls, with the gold tooth.
And where the girls who buy the purses that he owes you.
The educated ladies went to school and graduated.
Who don’t be thinkin’ everyday cause this is celebratin’
Pop bottles shawty, and do yah thing ma,
And let your hair down, and let it hang ma.
Now all the single moms raising babies on their own.
Forget your baby daddy baby you don’t need him homes’.
Whether you got your real hair or a weave on.
Whether you got some Frankie beads or some beads on.
From the a-cup to the d-cup.
To the Kiki’s, Nikki’s and Tameka’s.
Listen not only will I hit it if you throw it to me,
But imma’ beat it like you stole and you owe it to me

[Chorus (MJB):]
So give that, give me that, give me that good love.
Cause baby you’re what I’m looking for and every time you smile I want some more... (ohh)
So give that, give me that, give me that good love.
Now don’t you tell me no, just come here and give me that good love...

That good love... That good love... [repeat till end]

I Am Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

When you're out at night and you're in the streets
And you have time to yourself
Think of all the love that you get from me
That you can't find nowhere else

When you're far away and I'm not around
And temptation fills your heart
Think of all the ways that I'm faithful, babe
And to replace me would be hard, 'cause there's nobody

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
(No, nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
(No)
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

You can try to act single if you wanna
You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna
You can even behave like
You don't care

But you know
(But you know)
Like I know
(Like I know)
That you ain't that foolish, who you foolin'?
You won't ruin what's been here all along
You ain't movin' from what you got at home

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Ain't nobody gonna touch you)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody's gonna touch you)
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

I just want you to know, baby, I love you so
There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
'Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
But if you feel that you need to leave, just know

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

As I am
As I am
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

(Nobody, nobody)
As I am
(Nobody, nobody)
As I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

Each Tear Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Woohoohoo, whooohooohoo,
Whoohoo, whoohohohohoo

There's something that I want to say,
But I feel I don't know how.
Still I just can't hold it one more day,
So I think I'll let it out.

You're on my mind more than I may show
You're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want,
Is for you to fall apart.
Your future will get clearer,
I want you to remember.

In each tear
There's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Make you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

We can't change the things,
That we done that's in the past.
But fighting won't get us anywhere.
So if you want, Here's my hand

Every night there is one thing I do
I bow my head and pray for you (pray for you)
And the last thing that I want,
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will get clearer
I want you to remember

In each tear
There's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

You're much more than the struggle that you go through
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go?
You' re not a victim, your more like a winner
And you're not in defeat, you're more like a queen

In each tear
There's a lesson,
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger than you know)
In each tear (in each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

In each tear (each tear)
There's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know
In each tear (Make you so much stronger)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

No no we can't be held out
No no oh noo I I I can't held out
You you you can't be held out
We we we can't be held out

Love
It makes you so much stronger (stronger)
It makes you so much wiser (wiser)
In each tear (in each tear)
And You so close to your dreams and no dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak can't take away you're meant to be

Hood Love Lyrics – Mary J Blige (feat. Trey Songz)

[Trey Songz:]
Sometimes I don't get a chance to really tell you
But I promise you my love will never fail you
Don't you get it?
Right now we're writing history
A thousand years from now
They'll talk about you and me
I know sometimes I go hard
For no reason at all
Put your soul through the business
And test the weight of your heart
'cause when your back's on the wall
And there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you until the end

[Chorus:]
We got hood love
I be cussin I be screamin
Like it's over then I'm longing
Then I'm feening just to hold ya
Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is a good love
That's me and you
How you feel love?
Well I'm with u
Never quit u
Now that's real love
When you ain't here
Then I miss you
Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is a good love
That's me and you

[Mary J. Blige:]
Sometimes I think about leaving you
But when I think about what we've been through yeah
I get a feeling like it could be the worse
Cause I've given you my best and I don't mind it... that's fine
Cause when you love somebody hard then you'll love that way for life
You got all of my heart
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my word to love ya
All the way to the end
So no matter what I'll be right here
I'll be right here cause we got hood love

[Chorus x2]

[Trey Songz:]
Now I'll play tough but not for too long
You are someone I depend on
No matter how I act at times
I could never walk away
I thought about it plenty times
But no one can take your place

[Mary J. Blige:]
Well if there ain't no you
Then there ain't no me
If there ain't no us
Then I'd rather be
By my self
Cause no one else (oh)
Could know just what i need
And really understand me

[Chorus]

In The Morning Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Baby when this all began
We said that love would never end
Some time has passed
We settled in
And know the shadow of darkness is hooverin'
Yeahhh
Tell me what happend?
You started changing up and you and me are actin' so different
I know that I love you.
And your in love with me, thats what you say, but I just can't believe it.
Yeah we disagree, fuss and fight, we get it wrong more then it's right.
Yeah we make mistakes, and fix mistakes but never even seeing eye to eye
But when the dust clears its settled, and its all said and done.
When the night breaks and day finally comes....

[Chorus]
Will you love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
After the evening will you need me?
Will you love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
Now that the suns up will you give up?

I agree it's different.
What once was, just ain't the same.
No
But... weren't you expecting this?
See when it's true love there will be some bitterness
Yeahhh
Now you so distant.
I know I'm not the woman that I was but you're not the man you were... ohh
But if you say you love me when you standing up and still in love
It shouldn't even shake your world

Yeah we disagree, fuss and fight, we get it wrong more then its right.
Yeah we make mistakes, and fix mistakes but never even seeing eye to eye

But when the dust clears it's settled, and it's all said and done.
When the night breaks and day finally comes....

[Chorus]
Will you love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
After the evening will you need me?
Will you love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
Now that the suns up will you give up?

I know things ain't the way you supposed to be it's ok.
We'll get throught this (baby, it's worth it)
Sometimes we have doubts and love just ain't perfect
So dont let go... just...

Love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
After the evening will you need me?
Will you love me in the mornin'? (mornin' mornin')
Now that the suns up will you give up?

Will you love me in the morning? (hey hey hey)
Now that the suns up... will you give up? (hey hey hey)

After the evening will you need me? ...love me in the morning...

Dont give up on me... just love me...

I Can See In Color Lyrics – Mary J Blige

It took a long time to get to this place
And now that I'm here no one can ever erase
The joy that I feel way down deep beside
The love that I have for me will never, never die

I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, new song to sing

Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see in color

Everything looks beautiful, sky so baby blue
I'm anxious to know where the rest of this road will go
If April showers bring flowers then I need, I need more rain
To quench the drought in me, so rain on me, rain on me

I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, a new song to sing

Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open, open my, open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see

I can see in color the first sign, the first signs of spring
It looks so beautiful to me
I can see, I can see, I can see, I can see in color
Sky so baby blue, so baby blue

I can see, I can see
I can see in color the first sign of spring
And now the rose buds are blooming

I can touch them, I can feel them
I'mma hold them forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever, I'ma hold 'em ever, I'ma be forever

I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, see in color, color, color, color
It's all clear

Work That Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out

Theres so many-a girls
I hear you been running
From the beautiful queen
That you could be becoming
You can look at my palm
And see the storm coming
Read the book of my life
And see I've overcome it
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Wanna hold your head high
Cause you're a pretty woman
Get your runway stride home
And keep going
Girl live ya life

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got

Feelin great because the light's on me
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
Would never happen but God has put his hands on me
And aint a man alive could ever take it from me
Working with what I got I gotta keep on
Taking care of myself I wanna live long
Aint never ashamed what life did to me

Wasn't afraid to change cause it was good for me
I wanna...

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me

Just Fine Lyrics – Mary J Blige

You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it’s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna…..Woooh

Let it go……
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, going do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
No stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my mind right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine

Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I’m so glad I got mine
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me

When I’m walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I’m a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine

I aint gon’ let nothing get in my way
(I ain't gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain’t gon’ let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say

Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It’s a really good thing to say

Stay Down Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Did you know... [x7]
That I love you.
Did you know... [x4]
And I want you.

[Verse 1:]
I'll admit things ain't been the way I thought they would be.
Didn't expect so much stress to develop between me and you.
I knew that it wasn't easy but sometimes when we fight it don't seems like God's design.
But then I hear words you said and I promised I would stand for you and be true throughout the bad and the good.
And I know what it means to be committed.
So here's a word for you but you just ain't with it.

[Chorus:]
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
Stay down. (Yeah, we gotta lot of work)
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
One day we'll look back on this. (Yeah)
We'll be like "Remember this"? (Remember this)
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
Cause in the end we stayed down.

[Verse 2:]
I ain't gone lie, at times you amaze me.
You be talking and I swear that you're crazy.
But I learned a long time ago that pride don't help.
It only hurts.
And I just want you to know... I need you baby.
(I need you)
I'm just like Weezy baby.
Not Weezy like a son of baby.
But the wife of George and we're moving on up.
Ten years strong and we're looking like a plan.
I'm looking like your woman and you're looking like my man.
We looking like real.
And the haters look fake.
Especially when they hear me say...

[Chorus:]
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always have a place in my heart)
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
Stay down. (You know we gotta lot of work)
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
One day we'll look back on this. (One day we'll look back on this.
We'll be like "Remember this"? (We'll be like "Remember this"?)
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
Cause in the end we stayed down. (Stayed down)

[Bridge:]
Understand you are the one in my heart.
(And I'm holding yours so we can't live apart)
When things stop making sense we'll figure it out.
(I walked into this and I don't wanna walk out no, no)
(Everything ain't gonna be how we like)
(And what is worth keeping if it didn't take a fight?)
(Your healing is in me and my healing is in you)
(So get your mind right cause here's what we're gonna do)

[Chorus:]
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
Stay down. (You know we gotta lot of work)
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
One day we'll look back on this. (One day we'll look back on this)
We'll be like "Remember this"? (We'll be like "Remember this"?)
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)

Hurt Again Lyrics – Mary J Blige

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don't wanna tell you how I, am digging you so
I can't let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I can't let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don't want you to, let it go to your head
I'm into you sometimes, but I can't get you off my mind
So I hit you with the game, always trying to act like you loving doesn't faze me when the
truth is that it amazes me
You know it's a big lie cuz you can see right thru my eyes
How much I wanna hold you, give you all my loving, baby boy let me show
And I really wanna get to know you

[Chorus]
I've been there and I've done that and I promise never to get hurt again, never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself never to get hurt again, never again

[Verse 2]
I can never, ever let you see me this way, so I take all my feelings and I tuck 'em away
Fronting like I don't want you to hold me tight, so I act like I'm putting up a fight
To get your attention, and make you stay a while longer
So I tell you I don't like it cuz I know that'll make you wanna hold me tighter,
I can't help myself I really like you

[Chorus (2x)]

I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again, never get hurt again, never
I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again never get hurt again, no

Till The Morning Lyrics – Mary J Blige

We 'bout to take y'all way back, to love

Boy come on cause I'm getting mown
Oh, oh

Morning, to the sweet stuff, let me heat up

Make me loose my mind, loose track of time

You got me going crazy screaming more
If you want to get me, like you want me to be
Than you gotta stop me for dancing on the floor

[Chorus]

Morning, can you touch me, can you help me?
Morning, to the sweet stuff, let me heat up

Make me loose my mind, loose track of time
But I gotta work

Touch me, hold me.. kiss me, closely.. teach me, show me.. enjoy me!

Now relax now baby
Let me ease your mind
Let me get it together
And I'll be ready to go ??

Roses Lyrics – Mary J Blige

[Talk:]
See today I'm having one of them days where
I just don't want to be bothered,
but it seems like you can't understand that because it's your way or no way,
but check this out
And I'm really, really sick and tired of you steppin' into my little box
When I just don't want to be bothered okay, so check this out.

[Verse 1:]
I've had my ways, and I've had my share of ups and downs.
I been in trouble, and I couldn't tell my ups from downs
I been your baby, and I don't know why you don't seem like that no more
welcome to the new definition of love.

[Chorus:]
It ain't all roses hey,
flowers imposing hey
said it ain't all candy hey
this love stuff is demanding hey
Sometimes I need a hug [2x]

[Talk:]
See you just really wanna push all my buttons
Cause you Mr. Right & I'm Mrs. Wrong,
But right now today,
I'm going to be the one to sing this song
I'm going be Mrs. Right today it's my way, or the highway
With you there's just no getting around that I got to be bumping heads with you
What's up with that?
Listen see

[Verse 2:]
I love my man, and I know my place I know my worth
I just can't stand
to see myself as I hurt
it's been along time, and I think that I can get a little more love from you
I know some of yall go through it too cause

[Chorus (2x):]

[Talk:]
Sometimes I just wish you would just put your arms around me
When I'm feeling so [4x] very needy
But instead you just turn your back and say "suck it up"
oh you don't know how I feel right now
If you knew how I'm feeling on the inside you wouldn't say "suck it up"
Now what tha' cause

[Chorus (2x)]

[Bridge:]
It' aint' all roses you know,
Everybody ask me how good it is?
It's great love is great
When you just a mess yourself, it ain't gone be all roses.
Cause you just want your time
You wanna be selfish
You know you don't want nobody messing with you
You just want to rip somebodies head off when they try to step to you with some "Oh! You need
some help, Oh! You need to figure it out" You figure it out [2x] You go figure It out, you suck
it up [laugh chuckle]

Fade Away Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Ohhh....
Ohhh....

[Verse 1:]
It's starting to rain again.
Everything's gone now.
Even the sun.
It's starting to rain again.
Don't go away.
What have I done?
Hmmm...
I've been high and I've been low.
I've been wealthy and I've been poor.
I don't know much.
But one thing I know, this ain't no fun.
Hmmm....

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Verse 2:]
I painted a picture with her in his arms.
Hmmm....
It's starting to rain again.
It's all in my mind.
He's done me no harm.
Hmmm...
I've been up and I've been down.
Through all my drama, he's still around.
I can't believe that even now I put us through the storm.
Ohhh...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Bridge:]
Couldn't look at myself in the mirror.
Asking myself "How dumb could you be?"
Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.
Hmmm...
Ohhh...
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Ohhh...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
Hey...
Hey...
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Invisibility would be great.

What Love Is Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Hmm.
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible.
Reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight. Make up, break up, wrong or right.
Heaven for all this work can
equally be hell on earth.
(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't life without it.
And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

Gentle kiss, sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Argue until my head hurts, I can't remember what you said.
Out, screaming loud, don't know what were screaming bout.
So confused and yes its true, but if it wasn't there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't life without it.
(And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

That's love.
Anything that can bring you up or bring you down.
That's love.
Leave the sun up in your sky of the darkest clouds.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love.
Oh ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

And it feels like joy (joy), and it feels like pain (pain).
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying (oh), reason to live (oh).
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

Work In Progress (Growing Pains) Lyrics – Mary J Blige

[Verse 1:]
Look in my eyes.
Tell me what you see
Do you see perfection in me?
To you, do I look complete?
Now take one more look pass my celebrity.
That's where you'll find the real me.
To you, do I still look complete?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm)
I got the love from my fans that adore me. (Yeah)
And I'm grateful. (And I thank you so very much)
But my love for myself is lacking a little bit. (Just a little bit)
I can admit that I'm working on me. (Hmmm)
Staying faithful. (Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is...)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Just like you, I get down)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed.
And just like me, tryna be complete. (And just like me, tryna be complete, ohh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress.

[Verse 2:]
Life can be difficult.
No one promised that it would be...
(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time)
Sunshine all the time, easy.
Some pain is guaranteed.
But it ain't impossible.
You can find the joy, you see.
Took me a while but I did finally.
Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you.

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, ohh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (Just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Just like me, tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (We're all just, ohh)

[Bridge:]
Anybody knowing what it is to struggle. (Ohhh)
Never ever running in the face of trouble. (Oh yeah)
Say "I'm with you". (I'm with you)
"I feel you". (I feel you)
"I'm with you".
Just like you... (Sometimes I fall but I feel your pain. We're all the same)
(We're all the same, ohhh I am just like you)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down.
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Oh just like, just like me) (Tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (Just understand we're all a work in progress)

Just like you sometimes I get down. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (Can you hear me, can you feel me?)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (I am, I am, I'm just like you)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (A work in progress)
