6.Against All Odds
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Everybreath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still gbe standing here
And you coming back to me is aginst all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now
7.X-Girlfriend
CHORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Hey ex-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it' won't stop
'Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you
It don't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying
To get wit him
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again
REPEAT CHORUS
Hey ex-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calls and notes
On his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won't really care
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again
REPEAT CHORUS
I understand why
You want him back
But don't you know
Our love's too strong
For yuou to penetrate
It's too late
He's not your baby no more
8.Petals
I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability
A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering
CHORUS 1:
And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you
But I miss you dandelion
And even love you
I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery
A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity
CHORUS 2:
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep...
CHORUS 3:
And I missed a lot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you
I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -
And I found the strength
To break away
Fly...
9.Crybaby
When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry
Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that dep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're
Trying to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new
CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
Sipping Bailey's Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And try to forget you
REPEAT CHORUS
SNOOP's VERSE
REPEAT CHORUS (3X)
10.Did I Do That?
I really hope
When you hear this song
That you're happy
With someone new
I found a love I can call my own
And I owe it in part to you
Don't you know that you seem
Just a little crazy
You had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it's all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have thought
Iwas high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time
CHORUS:
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And things you would never do
Your rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations, painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn't speak
But boy to tell you the truth
It was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we're not the same in truth
REPEAT CHORUS
I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you
Though your attention span's not that long
Try to do the best you can do!
11.Heartbreaker
Yeah
Aight, let's go
Gimme your love--(16x in background until start of first verse)
Hey, you gotta bounce to this like this
You're almost kinda watching this
Uh-huh
Whoo oo oo
Escape
Oh you look so good
I don't wanna let go
And although I should
I can't leave you alone
'Cause your so disarming
I'm caught-up in the midst
of you and I can not resist at all
(Chorus 1): Boy you I do
The things you want to do
The way I used to do
Could you love me baby
Holding me feelin' you
Could you go and break my heart?
(Chorus 2): Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
but I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me?
I should have known right from the start
you'd go and break my heart
(Gimme your love)--8x
It's a shame to be
so euphoric and weak
when you smile at me
and you tell me the things
that you know are stated
to relinquish my love to you
but I can not resist at all
(Chorus 1)
(Chrous 2)
(JAY-Z RAP):
OK
Cool
Aight
Yo
She wanna shop wit Jay
play box wit Jay
She wanna pillowfight in the middle of the night
She wanna drive my Benz with five of her friends
She wanna creep past the block, spyin' again
She wanna roll wit Jay, chase skeeos away
She wanna fight wit lame chicks, blow my day
She wanna respect the rest, kick me to the curb
if she find one strand a hair longer than hers
She want
make love in the Jacuzzi
Rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib,
keys to da newbie
She wanna
answer the phone
tatoo her arm
last one I got her
sent it back to her mom
She call me Heartbreaker
when we apart it makes her
wanna piece of paper,
scribble down "I hate ya"
But she know she love Jay because
she love everything Jay say Jay does, and a...
(Chorus 2)
(Chorus 2)
(Chorus 2, with no background music but with background vocals)
...(can't make out, sounds like "Hey Trique"), that's a wrap!
