Sweet Side 03:26
I take things personally Whenever you’re around You play so tough with me You’re never backing down You always need to be teaching me Something I don’t seem to know I keep on asking if I’ll ever be enough But all the while (all the while) I know (I know, ooh) That you got your sweet side Let me see that smile Show me your sweet side Help me remember why I’ll always love you Even just once in awhile you show me Your sweet side Do you remember when You called me up Taking my time again You said you just want to talk But you start questioning everything Even when I’m doing fine You break me down and I just stay quiet. But all the while (all the while) I know (I know, ooh) That you got your sweet side Let me see that smile Show me your sweet side Help me remember why I’ll always love you Even just once in awhile you show me Your sweet side You’re sweet, sweet side (3x) Yeah Y you got your sweet side Let me see that smile Show me your sweet side Help me remember why I’ll always love you Even just once in awhile you show me Your sweet side

Nobody Else 03:55
You’re going through it lately Feeling the pressure now You want to stop being lazy But you just don’t know how Don’t let the hard times take control Can’t let them in your way Because “next time” and “never” Go hand in hand so, Don’t get caught in that game You gotta learn to deal with the valleys The hills will take care of themselves Cause in this life you’ve got one thing It’s you, and nobody else Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else Stop comparing your journey To that of someone else Take a moment to realize The miles you’ve got under your belt You’ve come a long way But you haven’t even noticed (noticed) You’re beating up yourself Oh, but the best thing for you right now is Nurture your mental health. You gotta learn to deal with the valleys The hills will take care of themselves Cause in this life you’ve got one thing It’s you, and nobody else Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else (nobody, nobody, nobody, no) Nobody else

CRYBABY LYRICS I’ve never been good at the way that I Deliver a message I’m overwhelmed with everything that I’m feeling And forget it But here it comes again Emotions coming down like the rain And I ain’t gonna change Something that I can’t contain I don’t hold back And you know that I can be a Cry, cry, cry, crybaby I wear it on my sleeve And maybe that’s just me I need to cry, cry, cry, cry baby And you know that I don’t hold back, oh… I’ve never been the one to sit back And maintain my composure But when I walk in the room I’m used to my mood Taking over But here it comes again Emotions coming down like the rain And I ain’t gonna change Something that I can’t contain I don’t hold back And you know that I can be a Cry, cry, cry, crybaby I wear it on my sleeve And maybe that’s just me I need to cry, cry, cry, cry baby And you know that I don’t hold back, oh… (Ill Camille) Water works, I know my worth Ducking love, avoid getting my feelings hurt. No cap I be all off in my bag Poker face but even queens get sad I got played before showing my hand, so I fall back, I’m like autumn Don’t call me unstable I beg your pardon Tough as nails but hell I’m being honest On the outside I’m trying to be the toughest But way down I’m more like David Ruffin Night’s like this I wish the rain drops stop Coming down from my eyes But I really got a lot To let go of, I let it all poor out Precipitate I should be straight by now I admit I can’t keep it all in And you can’t keep a real woman down You know that I’m a…. Cry, cry, cry, crybaby I wear it on my sleeve And maybe that’s just me I need to cry, cry, cry, cry baby And you know that I don’t hold back, no…

I KNOW I KNOW LYRICS So you didn’t think to ask about Some things never change My hurricane with intentions Nothing ever stands in your way Playing the same game I’m still fighting twice the battle I’ve been tired and insane (going insane) But I know it’s nothing I can’t handle I know, I know nobody makes it on their own On their own Oh I know, I know I’d take this over being alone Being alone I know, I know nobody makes it on their own On their own I know, I know I’m grateful not to face it alone Alone Why you always gotta ask about it What’s that ever changed Acting like you got good intentions Everybody’s gotta do it your way Playing the same game I’ve been fighting twice the battle Still here tired and insane Truth is, it’s nothing I can’t handle I know, I know nobody makes it on their own On their own Oh I know, I know I’d take this over being alone Alone I know, I know nobody makes it on their own On their own Oh I know, I know I never wanna do this alone Ohhh I know, I know nobody makes it on their own I can’t make it on my own Oh I know, I know

Daydream 03:13
I remember being 15, prissy Had my life all planned out Always wanted to be pretty busy Someone that stands out Nobody could tell me nothing Just wanted a chance to do it all my way Gotta get out of my own way I’m caught in a daydream I don’t need no one to save me There’s no need to wake me up When life turns out differently Can’t fight what is meant to be Cause there’s more than what you see In a daydream, daydream, daydream Well ok, alright This ain’t what it seemed to be But that’s alright, ok There’s still so much beauty here All that I got now wasn’t part of the plan I didn’t know Just what I wanted Till it fell in my hands I’m caught in a daydream I don’t need no one to save me There’s no need to wake me up When life turns out differently Can’t fight what is meant to be Cause there’s more than what you see In a daydream, daydream, daydream

LEAVE ME BEHIND Stop calling me crazy, I just got home Boy I wasn’t ready, what’s going on, what’s going on? You say I make you unhappy But you’ve been this way all along And you kept saying you need me But now you wanna tell me I’m wrong Where you gonna go? Who do you think will love you like I do, like I do Who you gonna be? Don’t even know who you are without me, without me. You said your love for me, is all in my mind That you don’t wanna be with me And you’re gonna leave me behind You said your love for me, is all in my mind That you don’t wanna be with me And you’re gonna leave me behind Now you keep on calling, won’t leave me alone I hear it in your voice that you’re still holding on I try to tell you I’m happy, But really I’m not too concerned Cause now that you’ve left me I realize how much that I’ve learned Where did you end up? Did everything turn out the way you thought, like you thought You don’t gotta front Have you gotten all the things you want? That you want. You said your love for me, is all in my mind That you don’t wanna be with me And you’re gonna leave me behind You said your love for me, is all in my mind That you don’t wanna be with me And you’re gonna leave me behind

Undone 03:25
We stuck together for about a year But that was a year too long for me Trying to forget those memories. I wanna tell you how much I’ve been moving on So many things for you to see But I don’t wanna waste my energy. I held you down but you held me back Throwing my life off track You had me feeling like I’m losing my mind But now I’m back better than ever I Never should’ve lied and told you that I loved you No I never should’ve said that you would be the one (the one) I never should’ve lied and told you that I need you (I don’t need you) All I needed was for us to come undone Undone, undone Undone My mother told me you’re not worth my time That I couldn’t have asked for any less So I got tangled in your mess I should’ve listened to her lesson of love But when I was young I made mistakes Had to let go of all that hate You had me feeling like I had nothing else Began to doubt myself Started believing I had nothing left But looking back on all those moments I Never should’ve lied and told you that I loved you No I never should’ve said that you would be the one (the one) I never should’ve lied and told you that I need you (I don’t need you) All I needed was for us to come undone Undone Undone No I never should’ve said that you would be the one Never should’ve said that you would be the one No I never should’ve lied and told you that I loved you (No I never should’ve said it now) No I never should’ve said that you would be the one (oh you’re not the one) I never should’ve lied and told you that I need you (Never never no) All I needed was for us to come undone (All I need is us to come undone) Undone Undone No I never should’ve lied and told you that I loved you (No I never should’ve said it now) No I never should’ve said that you would be the one (oh you’re not the one) I never should’ve lied and told you that I need you (Never never no) All I needed was for us to come undone, undone (All I need is us to come undone)

You 03:05
We haven’t caught up in a minute We’ve been busy taking care of us On the same page from the beginning You and I knew just what the two of us would be But let’s talk about it anyway Let’s pour a drink and hang out We’ve got so much to celebrate But so much to figure out They think we need the fairytale And sometimes I might think so too But none of that is you You. Seems like everybody’s having a baby They’re asking why we don’t even try Another invitation to a wedding We’ll take our time it’s not like us to fall in line Cause we’ve never been traditional We got a special kind of love And that shit is unconditional You know the kind they dream of They think we need the fairytale And sometimes I might think so too But I really don’t need any of it, any of it Cause none of that is you, you, you, you Cause none of that is you, you, you, you See none of that is you, you, you You, you, you Oh…. (you, you, you, you) repeat Nothing even matters if you’re not around Nothing even matters if you’re not around

Every minute I spend alone I’m thinking about you And every minute is moving so slow I just wanna get home to you To do that thing we do Cause baby it’s your time It’s your turn You’ve done too much by now Let me take you to the bedside And you’ll learn That I can make you proud to be my man Cause it’s not always easy for me But I’m lucky that you show me cause Hey, don’t you know That I’ll do anything you say That and more You know I’d never even dare Leave you alone I need you in my space And I know you feel the same So tell me if I’m moving too fast I can slow it down for you baby I’ve been thinking about all the ways For this night to last So just close your eyes I’ll do that thing you like Cause baby it’s your time It’s your turn You’ve done too much by now Let me take you to the bedside And you’ll learn That I can make you proud to be my man Cause it’s not always easy for me But I’m lucky that you show me cause Hey, don’t you know That I’ll do anything you say That and more You know I’d never even dare Leave you alone I need you in my space And I know you feel the same, same, same, same Hey, don’t you know That I’ll do anything you say (I’ll do anything you say baby) That and more (yeah, yeah,) You know I’d never even dare (never even dare, oh no no no) Leave you alone (leave you alone, no no) I need you in my space And I know you feel the same
