Imagine Life lyrics - ashanti

[verse 1]
Every moment I am thankin' my soul
Feel so lucky having you in my arms
Wouldn't be the same without you babe
There's not a thing about you I would change
I'm incomplete when you're far away
And when you're here you make me whole again
At first I really didn't trust it or believe it
I found someone that'd make me say this and mean it

[chorus]
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I wanna gently kiss your face
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I just wanna kiss yo' face

[verse 2]
Sometimes I have to stop and stare
Might even run my fingers through your hair
Just to see that this is not a dream
I gotta see ya smilin' back at me
And I'm okay as long as you're okay
Don't have to ask I know ya feel the same
At first I really didn't trust it or believe it
I found someone that'd make me say this and mean it

[chorus]
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I wanna gently kiss your face
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I just wanna kiss yo' face

[bridge]
Remember when I used to think there was nobody meant for me
It took a while for me to know someone could really touch my soul
No matter what may come between, it can't take you away from me
I'll always be right by your side, so I can say that you are mine
I always want you here with me
Don't ever wanna see ya leave
I always want you here with me
Don't ever wanna see ya leave

[chorus x2]
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I wanna gently kiss your face
Couldn't imagine life without you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
You're like a miracle in the form of a man
I just wanna kiss yo' face

Don't Need You lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus:]
Baby I don't need you, but I want you so I got you
Got you by my side when things ain't going right
Happy when I see you, but I need to keep it real with you
No relationships, I'm just tryna live

[Verse 1:]
Don't wanna hurt nobody, let me tell you how I feel (tell you how I feel)
Just wanna have somebody I can trust that knows the deal (trust that knows the deal)
Don't wanna make you mad telling you 'bout last night and how much fun I had
Just because I'm not with you I don't need your attitude

[Chorus X2]

[Verse 2:]
The other day you asked why I came home late and who was I with (who was I with)
Don't get me wrong I know you care, but I can't get down with all that questioning
Ooohh I like spending time with you, but don't get the wrong idea
Don't make me your priority cause this settle down now just ain't me

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge:]
Boy don't think I'm here trying to use you, try to confuse you
Just so you know I care a lot about you, happy that I found you
Let's be clear on what we're all about, you gotta figure out
If you want this we gotta know we ain't forming no relationships

[Chorus x2]

Let's Do Something Crazy lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1:]
I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no no
Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside
You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes

[Pre-Chorus:]
You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

[Chorus:]
That I thank you, and I love you
And I would never place anyone above you
Said I thank you, and I love you
And I will never ever place no one above you

You have given me life, and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today
I will never let go to everything that we share
And nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

[Verse 2:]
See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong
Cause even when I did things wrong
You would show me just the way that I should carry on
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had
And any time I was in need you gave your very last
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

[Pre-Chorus:]
Ju taught me strength and, ju gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost, ju were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart, and all my soul, I wanna let you know

[Chorus:]
That I thank you, and I love you
And I would never place anyone above you
Said I thank you, and I love you
And I will never ever place no one above you

You have given me life, and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today
I will never let go to everything that we share
And nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

[Bridge:]
I remember wakin' up early monday morning
With my new dress, and my new shoes, with the buckles on em
And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you babe"
And you would be right there to take all of my fear away
And when he broke my heart, you said it was hist lost
And not to think about, "you're better off without him"
Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"

[Chorus:]
I thank you, and I love you
And I would never place any above you
Said I thank you, and I love you
And I will never ever place no one above you

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today
I will never let go to everything that we share
And nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

I thank you, and I love you
And I would never ever place anyone above you
Said I thank you, and I love you
And I will never ever place no one above you

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today
I will never let go to everything that we share
And nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Pretty Little Flower lyrics - ashanti (feat. J Star)

[chorus]
I'm a pretty little flower baby, babe
Ya gotta, gotta be fragile with me, with me
I'm a pretty little flower baby
Don't crush me baby, don't hurt me baby, babe

[verse 1]
Can you be my dream come true
It's been a long time that I been waitin' for you
I never wanted to care
Now I found someone that I wanna be my teddy bear
So I can squeeze you when I want
And you can hold me all night long
You're everything I want, you're everything I need
But ya can't take advantage of me

[hook]
I wanna be your rose in a glass, treat me like a princess
I wanna be your rose in a glass, don't break me to pieces
I wanna be your rose in a glass, treat me like a princess
I wanna be your rose in a glass, don't break me to pieces

[chorus x2]

[verse 2]
I wanna run away with you
I gotta know if you feel the way I do
Ever since that day in June
Your first kiss left me speechless
I wanna know if this is right
And that we'll never have to fight
You're everything I want, you're everything I need
But just don't take advantage of me

[hook]

[chorus x2]

[verse 3 - J Star]

And when we far apart, baby I can feel you near
Our love is strong like a dynasty we keep on building on

[chorus x4]

Where I Stand lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus:]
Tell me where I stand

Or did I just fall in love with a friend
Tell me where I stand
We ain't' gotta move it nowhere
I just gotta know where I am

[Verse 1:]
You gotta know what I'm feeling when I see you babe
It's been a while we been dealing with each other this way-eeyh
And I'm always here to wipe you're tears
Lying by your side if they turnin on you
I wanna be your all is what I wanna do I'm giving all I can
You gotta let me know where I stand

I always wanna see you smiling back at me
And I've been thinkin' this is where I wanna be
If I can make it so you'll never hurt again
I'll do whatever say whatever give the best I can
Should I have another waiting on the side?
Should I have another that I see at night?
I wanna be with you and this is what I planed
But I gotta know where I stand

Tell me should I care if you care if you stay out all night?
Tell me should I care if you go out whit another girl?
And if you give a damn where I'm at
And if you give a damn where I am
Then I gotta know where I stand

[Chorus: x4]
Tell me where I stand
Are we gonna be hand in hand
Or did I just fall in love with a friend

Show You lyrics - ashanti

When I look into your eyes there's nothing I wouldn't do
You know that my heart is strong, but it's so weak for you baby
It feels just like yesterday you turned my life around
Oh, I really hope you know I'll never let you down

(Cuz I'm gonna show you)
My love is true for only you, my dear
(I wanna show you)
How much I care, I'll be right there always
(I'm gonna show you)
How good love is, I pray for this to come
(Just show you)
You're the only one, the only one for me

Even when I'm far away I close my eyes and you appear
Is this a dream, if so then lets just stay right here
Cuz when I'm in your arms I feel right at home
Dancing to the beat of your heart, holding you all night long

(I wanna show you baby)
My love is true for only you, my dear
(I wanna show you)
How much I care, I'll be right there always
(I'm gonna show you)
How good love is, I pray for this to come
(Just show you)
You're the only one, the only one for me
(Cuz I'm gonna show you)
My love is true for only you, my dear

You're the only one, the only one for me

I'm here, I'm gonna show you everything that I mean
You know you've always given me whatever I need
I found somebody finally that's perfect for me
And I wanna show you baby

You know you've always given me whatever I need
I found somebody finally that's perfect for me
And I wanna show you baby

Mrs. So So lyrics - ashanti

[chorus]
Where were you when I was all alone
See, I don't need you now I'm standing on my own
When I was down you weren't around so go
Cuz I ain't used to bein' no one's Mrs. So So

[verse 1]
When I woke up this morning I said I know I deserve much better
Sitting around, waiting around for you to try and get it right
So many times I've tried to tell myself it's all a phase
Everywhere I would go they could see the pain all on my face

[hook]
And everybody always asked me why I stayed
Believed and listened 'til he learned to change his ways
And I would make up an excuse about better days
Knowin' that I shoulda turned and walked away yeah
Starin' at the memories of yesterday
Thinkin' 'bout all the games you used to play
Now I don't know why you're tryin' to come back now
It's funny how things come back around

[chorus x2]
Where were you when I was all alone
See, I don't need you now I'm standing on my own
When I was down you weren't around so go
Cuz I ain't used to bein' no one's Mrs. So So

[verse 2]
Now after all this time you fin'ly realize that I'm over you
Cuz I'm not there for you, go away you were used too
Eventually I knew you'd come back beggin' on yo' knees
I turn my back on you today and here is what I say

[chorus x2]
Where were you when I was all alone
See, I don't need you now I'm standing on my own
When I was down you weren't around so go
Cuz I ain't used to bein' no one's Mrs. So So

[bridge]
It's about time I found someone that wants to be here for me
No more decievin' or even believin', all yo' heart is lies
I know I'm through with you boy, there there is no giving in now
There's only one thing I want you to be thinking about
Where were you when I was alone
I don't need you, I'm on my own
Where were you when I was alone
I ain't no one's Mrs. So So

[chorus x4]
Where were you when I was all alone
See, I don't need you now I'm standing on my own
When I was down you weren't around so go
Cuz I ain't used to bein' no one's Mrs. So So

No Words lyrics - ashanti

[Intro]
There are No Words that I can say
Its la-de-de-la-de-la-de-de-de.. Oooo
There are No Words that I can say
Its la-de-de-la-de-la-de-de-de.. Oooo

[Verse 1]
Lately I, don't know why
every time I think about you I just wanna cry
It's not the cry that makes my heart ache
It's the one that brings me to my knees and gives thanks
That finally, I have a chance to breathe
And thank God for all the goodness that he sent me
So it took a while but it was worth the wait
It's a different kind of love when we love make

[Chorus]
If I'm sitting with you
Laying with you ,Talking with you
I know I love it when I'm
Just riding with you, loving with you
Laughing with you, I cant believe I'm
So addicted to you, but I'm not ashamed
It's so hard to explain
There are No Words that I can say
It's a different kind of love when we love make

[Verse 2]
It's been a while, you been around
And I think I like how everything is going down
And spending time just lets me know
I will need you and I never wanna let you go
And mentally you were meant for me
Not to mention how I feel you physicality
So it took a while but it was worth the wait
It's a different kind of love when we love make

[Chorus]
If I'm, sitting with you
Laying with you ,Talking with you
I know I love it when I'm
Just riding with you, loving with you
Laughing with you, I cant believe I'm
So addicted to you, but I'm not ashamed
It's so hard to explain
There are No Words that I can say
It's a different kind of love when we love make

[Repeat 3x]
There are No Words that I can say
Its la-de-de-la-de-la-de-de-da.. Oooo

Girls In The Movies lyrics - ashanti

Looking in the mirror
I can see myself
Standing in your arms
Holding me and kissing me and loving me
OoOoOo, you just can't get enough of me
Now I'm on the phone,
Telling you I'm all alone
So come on over
I'm at the shower now about to oil down
I can't wait 'til you get here

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

I'm almost ready to accept the truth
I'm in love with you and I wanna tell you
I'm glad that you're here
Uh, and now we're face to face
In the candlelight
I'm watching your eyes watching mine
Laying here with you
Feels so good, feels so good

With your hand in mine
We don't have to worry about time
Or what the future brings
We can just let it be
The way you smile at me
I already see you know what I mean
So we can just sit back, relax
And let it flow naturally

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

I wanna be like those girls in the movies
To have a man so in love it makes him drop to his knees
She's even on his mind while he's asleep at night
Cause that's the feeling you're giving me

To The Club lyrics - ashanti

I can't help it when a guy is watching me
And I can't help it if he wants to buy a drink
And I'm not mad that you didn't get to come
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club
And I can't help it if I kinda wanna flirt
And I can't help it if he's lookin' up my skirt
And I'm not mad cuz I'm only having fun
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club

See me and her was going to the club that night
I seen him and I knew that he was just my type
Rolling through the club and then he winked his eye
Licked his lips real slow then he said hello
He made his way to say how ya doin', what's yo' name
I told him I'm Ashanti and he said I'm glad ya came
He asked about my man and when's the next time I'd be free
I slyly shook my head then I said thank you for the drink

I can't help it when a guy is watching me
And I can't help it if he wants to buy a drink
And I'm not mad that you didn't get to come
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club
And I can't help it if I kinda wanna flirt
And I can't help it if he's lookin' up my skirt
And I'm not mad cuz I'm only having fun
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club

I was dancing on the floor cuz my song was on
The people looked behind me, said his name was Sean
He told me that he liked the way I moved my hips
Snapped my fingertips, then I licked my lips
He was going on free and we decided to leave
He walked me to the car and said he'd pay my parking fee
As we rolling out the lot he said he wanted to chill
I slyly shook my head then I said thanks for paying the bill

I can't help it when a guy is watching me
And I can't help it if he wants to buy a drink
And I'm not mad that you didn't get to come
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club
And I can't help it if I kinda wanna flirt
And I can't help it if he's lookin' up my skirt
And I'm not mad cuz I'm only having fun
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club

Oh it ain't my fault that
You can't do what you want cuz
Your man's with you at the club and
My man's waiting back at home, yeah [x2]

I can't help it when a guy is watching me
And I can't help it if he wants to buy a drink
And I'm not mad that you didn't get to come
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club
And I can't help it if I kinda wanna flirt
And I can't help it if he's lookin' up my skirt
And I'm not mad cuz I'm only having fun
Ya see I can't bring my man to the club [x2]

I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
No, no, no, no [x2]

The Way That I Love You lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus:]
After all of the times that we tried,
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made,
I Know Now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
(The way that I love you)

The way that I love
(The way that I love you)

The way that I love
(The way that I love you)

[Verse 1]
I woke up kinda early today, and something told me from that moment it wouldn't be the same
Felt like you were hidin' something, but I didn't push it,
I didn't complain or say nothing
I tried to act like I didn't see it,
'cause deep down I know I didn't wanna believe it
There it was, it was you and her,
you left your sidekick on the night stand and I read

[Pre-Hook]
Everything you did and everything you said,
now I'm standin' here lookin' like damn
I thought it was you and I,
now all I gotta say is why

[Chorus]

[x3]
The way that I love
(The way that I love you)

[Verse 2]
I noticed now that when I'm around, you be tryin' to lock the door, whispering on the phone
Now wait a minute,
since we been in this house you ain't never did this before, tell me what's this about..
(What's this about)
I tried to sit and say to myself,
this here is too good, he don't want nothin' else

There it was, it was you and her,
you left the credit card receipt inside the beamer with

[Pre-Hook]
Everything you bought
And everything you spent, now I'm standing here
once again I thought it was you and I,
now all I have to say is why

[Chorus]

[x3]
The way that I love
(The way that I love you)

Oh Oh
You lied
You lied
Oh why
Why
Yes
Why'd you have to lie to me
Why'd you have to lie to me-e
Why'd you have to lie to me
Why, why, why, why
You lied, you lied, you lied
We made, we made, we made
Oh

You're Gonna Miss lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1]
It's killin' me to think that you don't want it no more
I should've learned my lesson when you f*cked up before
You said some things (I said some things) seems like this thing is over
Cause you ain't call, since you've been gone

[Pre Chorus]
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night, no
You're gonna miss this chick right here
You're gonna miss this chick, I swear

[Verse 2]
I hate to admit it, my heart was all in it
Like a fatal attraction happened, cause now it's killin' me
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't breathe
I just want you back with me baby

I can't help but think that when your love is gone
I'm gonna find it hard to keep myself from holdin' on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It's like I'm constantly reminded that I can't move on

[Pre Chorus]
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night, no
You're gonna miss this chick right here
You're gonna miss this chick, I swear

[Bridge]
I'm tired of thinkin' that we could've made it, my heart keeps on achin
And I just can't take it, hey
I feel so weak (I can't breathe) I just want you back with me baby

I can't help but think that when your love is gone
I'm gonna find it hard to keep myself from holdin' on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It's like I'm constantly reminded that I can't move on

[Pre Chorus/Chorus]
See ain't nobody's out there like mine, you're in it for the very last time
You're gonna miss this chick right here, you're gonna miss this I swear

But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night, no

So Over You lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1]
I must admit I was set trippin', early on
So not my self, boy you had me completely gone
I lost my cool when I found out 'bout you
And how cowardly you move, I'm just glad that now I'm through
I'm so over you

[Chorus]
I am finished cryin over your lyin', over denyin', I am so over you, so over you
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
I done lost my cool for just a minute, but I'm back and I'm doin my thing again
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
And I got my mind right, ain't no more late nights waitin' up on ya

I'm so over you, over you, over you, over you, over you now
I'm so over you, over you, over you, over you, over you now
I'm so over you

[Verse 2]
Now we done been through this same cycle, time and time
Let you back in even when you broke this heart of mine
I've had enough, boy I swear this time I'm done
You can pack up all your stuff, frankly I don't give a f*ck
I'm so over you

[Chorus]
I am finished cryin over your lyin', over denyin', I am so over you, so over you
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
I done lost my cool for just a minute, but I'm back and I'm doin my thing again
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
And I got my mind right, ain't no more late nights waitin' up on ya
I'm so over you, over you, over you, over you, over you now
I'm so over you, over you, over you, over you, over you now

[Bridge]
I got my swagga back again, and no, I'm not tryna be your friend
And no, ain't no hittin' this again
Ain't no late nights waitin' up on ya, cause I'm so over you

Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
I done lost my cool for just a minute, but I'm back and I'm doin my thing again
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
And I got my mind right, ain't no more late nights waitin' up on ya

Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
I done lost my cool for just a minute, but I'm back and I'm doin my thing again
Said I'm finished with it, ain't no more hurtin' over here
And I got my mind right, ain't no more late nights waitin' up on ya

Struggle lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1]
I couldn't fall asleep late last night, thinkin' what we had just might be all over baby
And I don't know if you meant what you said when you told me you was sick of tryin', you was
sick of fightin', cryin', lyin' and didn't wanna do this again
We may have said some things, we may have did some things, we should've never did
But we both know it takes more just to apologize, boy
But from what I'm feelin' inside, boy I'm yours, and boy you're mine
And even if I said I was leavin' babe, I couldn't picture no more you and me
See, I ain't perfect babe, and you ain't perfect baby, so listen to the realest thing that I
can say

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep
tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again

[Verse 2]
See, we done been together for a few years now, and ain't no way we just gon sit right here
and throw it out
See even if it's my mistake, or if it's your mistake, and we would scream and shout
You gotta know I love you babe, and I'mma show you babe, we can work this out
So many nights when we would tear rooms up in this house
And we both know, we're both wrong - what is this about?
But when I look into your eyes, I'm in your heart, and you are in mine
Even if I said I was leavin' babe, I couldn't picture no more you and me
See, I ain't perfect babe, and you ain't perfect baby, so listen to the realest thing that I can say

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again

[Bridge]
Said I don't wanna be alone baby, cause you are everything I know baby
See, you're everything I need, and you're everything I see, and you're everything I feel, and
you're everything in me

Said I don't wanna be alone baby, cause you are everything I know baby
See, you're everything I need, and you're everything I see, and you're everything I feel, and
you're everything in me

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again

[Breakdown]
Over and over and over and over and over and over, over agai..yayi..yayi...yayi.
Said, I don't wanna be without you bae, cause I love you babe.
Said, I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'

Cause there ain't nothin' in these streets for me

Good Good lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus:]
When my man leave the house, I know he's comin' right back
I got that good good, I got that good good
No matter how much he might try to act, he know just where it's at
I got that good good, I got that good good

I put it on him right, I do it every night
I leave him sittin' mouth open like wheww
So I don't worry bout nobody takin' mine
Cause I know just the right thing to do (I got that good good)

[Verse 1]
I ain't never had a problem with the one (no)
Never been worried bout him ever cheatin' on me (fa'sho)
Cause when I say I got that pop lock and drop it believe me
If I'm with you, it's gon' kill you on the days you don't see me

See the things I possess, a lot of women don't (don't)
And the things I'mma do for mine, most won't (won't)
I hear 'em talkin' bout it when I'm up in the salon
Cryin' cause they man ain't come home, I try to tell 'em

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Ladies don't believe half what you hear, cause it's all a waste of time
If you know you got that good, good good, everything will be just fine
So let your man be the man when he's in public (in public)
Even though behind the scenes y'all be runnin (be runnin')
Let him run with his boys, let him play his little games,
Let him drive his caddilac, don't worry he'll be back

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If you got that good good and you know it, ladies show him where's it at
(right here) Where it's at (right here)

See, I don't know what them other girls be doin, they be cryin' bout they man
Cause they always losin'
They need that (good good) gotta have that (good good) to keep him (good good)
You need that (good good)

Mother lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1]
I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no no
Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside
You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes

Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

That I thank you, and I love you
And I would never place anyone above you
Said I thank you, and I love you
And I will never ever place no one above you

And nothing can compare

[Verse 2]
See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong
Cause even when I did things wrong
You would show me just the way that I should carry on
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had
And any time I was in need you gave your very last
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

I remember wakin' up early monday morning
With my new dress, and my new shoes, with the buckles on em
And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you babe"
And you would be right there to take all of my fear away
And when he broke my heart, you said it was hist lost
And not to think about, "you're better off without him"
Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"

[Chorus]
I thank you, and I love you
And I would never place any above you
Said I thank you, and I love you

They'll try to make you feel, that you're not good enough
You feel so incomplete, don't let them change you
Show this whole world that you were made to

[Chorus]
Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try

The Declaration lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus]
Never thought you'd be like, be like that ooh
But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh
Baby I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Baby I'm still here, I'm still here ooh

Never thought you'd be like, be like that ooh
But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh
Baby I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Baby I'm still here, I'm still here ooh

[Verse 1]
I used to look into your eyes and think, that you were the one that was meant for me
Everything that you would say, I believed it
You manipulated me, did it so creatively
Slowly took away from me, most of my integrity
Used to say that "I could be, everything and all you need"
Started doing little things back then I couldn't see, but now
That the rain is gone, yes I'm still here

[Chorus]

(I'm still here, and I see you for who you are
And you're not far from the devil babe
So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah)

[Verse 2]
They used to tell me I was nothin', and couldn't make it there
And so I made it, and they hated, cause I'm stayin' here
I put my trust into my faith everyday
With all the blood and sweat and tears
All the passion, all the years
Now with clouds and lovin' cheers
No more cryin', no more fears
Used to cry myself to sleep, thinkin' this could never be

And then I picked myself back up and stood on my two feet
And now that the rain is gone,

[Chorus]

(I'm still here, and I see you for who you are
And you're not far from the devil babe
So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah)

Said I'm still here, said I'm still here
Said I'm still here, and I ain't no where
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah baby

Ohh, ohhh. Hey, hey, hey, said I'm still here

Why lyrics - ashanti

[Verse 1]
Another night, have you been where you say you been?
So tell me why, in the hell you just strollin' in?
Now I ain't got the patience to be playin' boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'
Now tell me do you have the answer to my question?

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

[Verse 2]
It seems like you think it's cool to run around with other chicks
While I'm sittin' home, tryna figure why it's you I'm with
What's a girl to do? Cause I done had enough of you
I don't wanna stay another day waitin' like a fool

It ain't like I ain't fly, and can't find another guy
It's matters of the heart, got me stayin' and I don't know why
Cause I love you like no other, I touch you like no other
Even (uhh) like no other, got your back like no other

Now I ain't got the patience to be playin' boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'
Now tell me do you have the answer to my question?

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

[Bridge]
Said I don't know what it is that you're thinkin'
Cause what you did to me is comin' back to get you babe
Hey, you better be careful out there, cause you aint never gonna find like me babe

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

Oooh, ohh. Heyy...hey.

Still On It lyrics - ashanti (feat. Paul Wall, Method Man)

[Irv Gotti:]
There can only be one, Ashanti... Murder Inc.

[Paul Wall:]
(Paul Wall, What It Do?)
It's the Houston Hard Hitter out the 713, it's "The People's Champ," Paul Wall, yeah that's me.
Come take a ride with a playa out the 'Lone Star State'.
I'm just a hustler on the grind known for gettin' that cake.
I came up from the bottom, now i reside at the top.
I used to run away from cops, but now it's benzes i cop.
I used to post up on the block like Yao Ming in the paint, but now i pimp the parkin' lot, drivin' slow n sippin' drank.
With Ashanti on my side as i glide like Clyde, and nothin' less than 24 inches of chrome on my ride.
It's just somethin' bout the way I tip 4s and grip grain and got these boppers on the sidelines goin insane.
I got 'em moanin', my mackin' game is outta
control, but i don't know if it's my looks or my big bank roll.
I'm 24 years old with my mouth all gold, my games cold and now the stories been told.
It's Paul Wall, baby (baby).

[Ashanti: (Verse 1)]
See i don't know why (why)
I'm feelin' just the way i do (do)
It's been a long time (time)
I thought that i was over you, but now you're coming around again
I'll be remembering what you said
I just can't take it, and i don't wanna go back, oh no.

[Chorus:]
What is a girl to do, if she's still on it, yes
If she done been there before with you, and now she don't want it, yeah
We've spent time and time again.
I just wish this thing would end.
Tell me, what is a girl to do, if she's still on it.

[Verse 2:]
Whenever we talk (talk)
It feels like we had somethin' strong (strong)
And knowin' it's wrong, we tried to do this thing before, but when you coming real close to me
Bringing back all of them memories
I just can't fake it, but i don't wanna go back, oh no.

[Chorus]

[Method Man:]
(uhn, yeah)
Auntie Ashanti's a problem, this track here's a problem.
The best thing rockin' since that cotton came to Harlem.
Meth darlin', I'm like that Hershey with the almonds, and i don't pay for nothin', but your pardon.
They start and I finish.
My animals is starvin' for dinners
Straight up menace, y'all don't get involved in my business.
Look, I witness, spotted like a blemish, off gimmicks.
I'm 59/50 authenic.
Tilted with that NY on it.
There's money to be made, and i want it.
See, my palm been itchin' for the longest, so scratch that, paper like NASDAQ.
We laughed that life, roll the dice, get the cash back, I'm nice.
Plus, I got the juice, so i goes well with ice.
Been drug tested 3 times failed it twice.
Ashanti, you doin' it big, don't hurt 'em auntie.
Matter fact, you killin 'em girl, you're murder mami.

[Chorus]

[Irv Gotti:]
hahahahaha...yeah
Paul Wall, Swisha House
Method Man, Wu Tang
Ashanti, the one and only princess
We get back at you in 2006... It's Murda

[Ashanti:]
Fo' Life, (uh)

I Love You lyrics - ashanti

I love you [x4]

[Chorus]
I love you

And wherever I go you're always in my heart

[Verse #1]
Nobody ever bring the joy you bring to me
You make me feel the way you do
And there aint nothing like your love
That sometimes makes you stop and think like
Do I deserve such a love that can now move heaven and earth
For my lovin I could never surround my life without the things
That you provide ever since you came into my life
And it feels like my whole world is happening
I cant stress how much I've been blessed
See what you came and done to me
You make my life complete
I know sometimes I might forget
That even when I dont say it
You know that I mean it I

[Verse #2]
See I dont minding wake up everyday and see your face
And wanting to lay inside your arms
Cause there aint nothing like your touch
It's so good never seems like enough
I didnt know that a love could grow and take over your soul
Dont advise much more
Only when you're apart if feels like living life is hard
Your entire world just seems so dark
Then it lights up cuz you are my shining star
And I dont know what I'd do without you
See what you came and done to me
You make my life complete
I know sometimes I might forget
But even when I dont say it
You know that I mean it I

I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

[Bridge]
When you love somebody
You can share everything
Because you understand that you'll be right there
Anytime, any place, anywhere
When you love somebody
You can be only me
If they cry you'll be right by their side
To make everything alright

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

I love you [x3]

[Chorus]
I love you
Cuz you mean everything to me and I
I love you
I thank you for just being in my life
I love you
I love the way you can always make me smile
I love you
And wherever I go you're always in my heart

Rain On Me (Remix) lyrics - ashanti (feat. Charli Baltimore, Ja Rule)

[Intro: Ashanti]
Yeah
Murder Inc.
We invite you to: epic, ya know?
We make music out of a sense of hunger
Sort of a desire
Through that desire
We expose the pain and struggle
But we accustom to live it
So, we feel without this music, we have nothing
So we offer you, well: we offer you our lives
So how you gon' take it?

[Verse 1: Ashanti]
See everybody wanna rise to the top these days
(Top these days)
A lot of people might come and try to take your place
(Take your place)

Don't look back and keep shining, shining
I had a little struggle
I had a little pain
Now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain

Rain on me (rain on me)

Show You lyrics - ashanti

When I look into your eyes there's nothing I wouldn't do
You know that my heart is strong, but it's so weak for you baby
It feels just like yesterday you turned my life around
Oh, I really hope you know I'll never let you down

(Cuz I'm gonna show you)
My love is true for only you, my dear

How much I care, I'll be right there always
(I'm gonna show you)
How good love is, I pray for this to come
(Just show you)
You're the only one, the only one for me

Even when I'm far away I close my eyes and you appear
Is this a dream, if so then lets just stay right here
Cuz when I'm in your arms I feel right at home
Dancing to the beat of your heart, holding you all night long

(I wanna show you baby)
My love is true for only you, my dear
(I wanna show you)
How much I care, I'll be right there always
(I'm gonna show you)
How good love is, I pray for this to come

You know you've always given me whatever I need

I Found It In You lyrics - ashanti

You know I've been searching for so long yea
Thinking to find that special one yea
And you came around and changed my life
But if was the best of me,
So thankful for you baby.......

Was lookin' for someone to love just me (and i found it in you)
Was searching for love unconditionally (yes i found it in you)
I needed someone I can live my dreams through (and i found it in you)

There wasen't nobody just to take serious no
I use to hurt inside from a broken heart (you changed that)
You took the pieces and now my love increases oh yeaaa

Just me and you
Your my evertything,
And no one can compare
To the joy you bring
And baby

Focus (Remix) lyrics - ashanti (feat. Free)

I'm focus man yo Free why don't you holla at me man

[Free:]
Now who else but me slim waist with that swag
Get on G five plans and fly fast
If it ain't G's no I'm not there

You put a dollar on my hand I'ma part of any plan

[Verse 1]
He use to touch me, love me,
Hug me, kiss me, Hold me everyday.

That you gave your love away.
Now how do you expect for me to
Stay, wake up,
Everyday with this on the brain.
So Imma say thanks
And Imma be on my way.

[Chorus]
Now I've got my head right.
I can finally say good bye
To all the lies, and the lonely nights

You were just a waste of time
But now I'm fine
Cuz I'm focused you out of my life

I'm focus now

[Verse 2]
I never thought that
You would treat me
Like I'm just another girl.
Thought I was something to you
Something new.

But now i see this wasn't real
Just another game tryna play the field
So Imma let go
And Imma move on my own

[Chorus]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

Not concerned about
What nobody else gotta say

Last seen on the cover of KING by the way names Free but yall still gotta pay
Those ones I'm making it just explains that I'm focus
And that's an under statement and I don't know what someone was thinking
If I'm not mistaken I heard his little heart was akin he aint sleeping the same the people done changed
You dead nigga the reaper came and now sad nights but we can have a bed fight
Get the head right every night
Do what you supposed to do playa I approach you cause I'm so focus now nigga

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

Keep it real wit a nigga ma
Wateva you do if your heart and minds
Is numb rewind the time when
We closed the blinds like the --
Was rhyming and we hit the malls
Spending G's all the time
And you was on the side thru out
I was grindin and you was surprised
Wit minks and showered wit diamonds
But you will always be a part for life
Even if I never get to call to u my wife,
Just rememba who put the bread into the crib
In the same crib that u want
Ur kids living in now no matter
How eva you may feel now even
If u wanted to consider urself his now,
I'm still down for you

[Chorus 2x]

Oh I can't wait to get next to you
Oh I just can't leave you alone...

Focus lyrics - ashanti

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

[Verse 1]
He use to touch me, love me,
hug me,kiss me, Hold me everyday.
I never thought that i'd be finding out
That you gave your love away.
Now how do you expect for me to
stay, wake up,
everday with this on the brain.
So Imma say thanks
and Imma be on my way.

[Chorus]
Now I've got my head right.
I can finally say good bye
To all the lies,and the lonely nights
So Focused

Now I've made up my mind
You were just a waste of time
But now I'm fine
Cuz I'm focused you out of my life

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

[Verse 2]

I never thought that
you would treat me
like I'm just another girl.
Thought I was something to you
Something new.
Its me and you against the world.
But now i see this wasn't real
Just another game tryna play the field
So Imma let go
And Imma move on my own

[Chorus]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

[Bridge]

Not concerned about
What nobody else gotta say
Just do what you do
Cuz they gonna talk anyway
Yea
Just stick with what you do
But remember to
Do it just for you
So dont even waste ya time
Keep it out cha mind
And stay on ya grind

I'm focus now
I'm focus now
I'm focus now
I'm focus now

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

I'm focus now
I'm focus now

Don't Let Them lyrics - ashanti

Say that you want me
Say that you'll never leave me
You gotta tell me you need me
Don't let them take your love away
[Repeat 2x]

Some say that I am a fool to love you
And some say that I'm to dumb to know whats right for me
But only I can live my life, and only I can feel my heart ache
I never claim to know know everything but I know when your loves away
I can't sleep and I can't eat and I can't live and I can't breathe
So don't make a fool of me, just love me

[Chorus 2x]

Now they say that me loving you will hurt me
And they say its a matter of time before you break my heart
But even when were far apart I always feel that you are with me
I hope and pray almost everyday that our love never goes away
Cuz I can't see where I would be without your love all over me
So don't make a fool of me just love me and say

[Chorus 2x]

Baby your all, all that I need, need in my life, right here with me
[Repeat 2x]

[Chorus]
