I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou (You remember that? We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You’d come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)
Because you loved me I overcome
And I’m so proud of what you’ve become
You’ve given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you’re there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that’s why…
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I’d been on a date and had a boyfriend (My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
I still remember I called you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you’d get one too (Even my mama said y’all get one just like mine)
Words can’t express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You’ve given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you’re there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that’s why…
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I’m in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can’t be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won’t go away
I know I’m lucky
Know it ain’t easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can’t stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you’ve done so much for me. I love you daddy.)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy…
Something just isn’t right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn’t far behind me
You can’t deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I’m living a lie
When I’m alone I
Feel so much better
And when Im around you
I don’t feel
[Chorus:]
Together
It doesn’t feel right at all
Together
Together we’ve built a wall
Together
Holding hands we’ll fall
Hands we’ll fall
This has gone on so long
I realize that i need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
When I’m alone I
Feel so much better
And when Im around you
I don’t feel
[Chorus]
My heart is broken
I’m lying here
My thoughts are choking on you my dear
On you my dear
On you my dear
When I’m alone I
Feel so much better
And when Im around you
I don’t feel
[Chorus x2]
When I’m around you
When I’m around you
I don’t feel together
I don’t feel together
When I’m around you
When I’m around you
I don’t feel together, no
I don’t feel together

We’re not so different
You and me
‘Cause we both
Share our share of obscenities
And everybody’s
Got some freaky tendencies
Hidden or admitted
‘Cause we all got needs
And I make no apologies (Huh-huh)
I’m into phonography (Huh-huh)
And I like my bluetooth, buttons comin’ loose
I need my hands free (Huh-huh)
Then I let my mind roam (Huh-huh)
Playin’ with my ringtone
He got service, I’ve got service
Baby, we can talk all night (Go)
Let’s talk about biology
Make believe you’re next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is green
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talk and call it phonography (Hey!)
I can follow
All your commands
But there will be no talk of
Adding you to my plan
I’ll keep you connected
Long as you understand
That’s how we should keep it
Mr. Telephone Man
And I make no apologies (Huh-huh)
I’m into phonography (Huh-huh)
And I like my bluetooth, buttons comin’ loose
I need my hands free (Huh-huh)
Then I let my mind roam (Huh-huh)
Playin’ with my ringtone
He got service, I’ve got service
Baby, we can talk all night (Go)
Let’s talk about biology
Make believe you’re next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is green
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talk and call it phonography (Hey!)
Baby, if you’re not alone
Take me off speakerphone
What I’m ’bout to say right here
Is just for your ears to hear
If you need to
Hit me back, hit me back
I got a star 69
For that shit, for that shit (Go)
Let’s talk about biology
Make believe you’re next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is green
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talk and call it phonography (Hey!)
Phonography
Phonography
(Go)
We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything’s changing.
We all know what to do but no one does it.
Now this time has passed and full of regret.
Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone.
When they get back, it won’t be the same.
My life, you’ve always been there.
Now you’re gone and my head’s spinning.
Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past.
Moving on your time has run out.
Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait.
Wasting away once again, once lived as friends.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
Never will I forget you, and all the memories past.
So rarely I get to see your face.
Growing I looked to you in guidance.
We knew that time would kill us, but you’re still so close to me.
To me you were my life.
To me you were my soul companion.
Now you are so far away.
Nothing can take away the times and the memories we had.
Come back – to the days when we were young
Come back – to the days when nothing mattered
To the days when nothing mattered
And I feel time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
I’m just a girl with a crush on you
Don’t care about money
It doesn’t give me half the thrill
To the thought of you, honey
So tell me that you want me still
If only I could trade the fancy cars
For a chance today, it’s incomparable
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Everybody say that I have it all
[CHORUS:]
But I can’t make you love me
Is it my life or the things I do?
Can’t make you love me
I’m just a girl with a crush on you
I have been through changes, yeah
But I’m still the girl you used to know
It’s made me no different
So tell me why you had to go
Oh baby, I will trade the fancy cars
For a chance today, it’s incomparable
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Everybody say that I just have it all
[Repeat CHORUS]
Just the thought of being close to you
It’s incomparable
Should be happy with the life I live
And the things I do
Seems like I have it all
Can’t make you, make you love me baby
It’s my life, what can I do?
Can’t make you love me, alright
I’m just a girl with a crush on you
[Repeat CHORUS]
I’m just a girl with a crush on you
