Guy: And now for our feature presentation

Free from 106 and Park: Here's Ashanti #1 again today for, Foolish!

After all of the times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I found out 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

I woke up kinda early today
And something told me from that moment
It wouldn't be the same
It felt like you were hiding something
But I didn't push it
I didn't complain or say nothin
I triedacted like I didn't see it
Cause deep down I knew I didn't want to believe it

But there it was, it was you and her
You left your sidekick on the nightstand
And I read

Everything you did, and everything you said and
And now I'm standing here looking like damn..
I thought it was you and I
Now I all I got to say is why?

After all of the time that we've 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

I notice now, that when I am around
You be trying 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?

I tried to sit and say to myself
This here is too good he don't want nothing else
But there it was, it was you and her
You left your credit card receipt inside the beamer babe

Everything you bought her, and everything you spending
Now I'm standing here once again
I thought it was you and I
Now I all I have to say is why?

After all of the times that we've 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

You Lied, You lied, Oh Why?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why?

After all of the times that we've 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)
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
You're gonna miss this chick right here
You're gonna miss this chick, I swear

(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

(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'
Over and over, and over and over and over and over, over again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, said I love you babe. I don't wanna see you leave me baby
Hold on...baby, just hold on. Mmmhmmm, cause all I need is you...

(Chorus)
Boy, if I was your girl...friend. I would let you touch everything that I am
Boy, if I was your girl friend (ahh) I wouldn't mind gettin' crazy baby
It could be yours if I was your lady

(Verse 1)
I can see when you when I close my eyes
I can feel you, I can touch you, I can taste you babe
While I'm in between these sheets layin' wide awake
I'm here thinkin' bout this love I would love to make
Ooh, how can't I fantasize about you babe?
And there's no other way that I can say it, I just wanna be
You and me, you and me, you and me, hey baby, if I was your

(Chorus)
Boy, if I was your girl...friend. I would let you touch everything that I am
Boy, if I was your girl friend (ahh) I wouldn't mind gettin' crazy baby

(Verse 2)
I could almost feel your body over mine, as you run your fingertips right across my spine
Ohh, ain't nothin' I won't do to make you mine
I will let you take control of what I have inside
And I can feel your heart beatin' right next to mine
And everything you feel, I see it right in your eyes
This could be, you and me, you and me, you and me...hey baby, if I was your

(Chorus)
Boy, if I was your girl...friend. I would let you touch everything that I am
Boy, if I was your girl friend (ahh) I wouldn't mind gettin' crazy baby

(Breakdown)
If I was your girlfriend, ooh, ooh, I would give you everything boy
If I was your girl, girlfriend yeah, yes
I would give all of me to you

(Chorus)
Boy, if I was your girl...friend. I would let you touch everything that I am
Boy, if I was your girl friend (ahh) I wouldn't mind gettin' crazy baby

If I was your lady baby, I could drive you crazy
If I was your lady baby, yeah yeah

How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain't nothin' in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

(Verse 1)
I guess it's safe to say that you're my everything
Cause when you're gone away, I feel like everything
Is at the bottom of my list, and all I wanna do is taste your lips on my lips

And ain't no way I'm givin' this love to nobody else, cause they ain't worth it
And what we got ain't far from perfect, cause we got ours and they still searchin' babe

(Chorus)
How could I ever wanna lose your love?

Cause there ain't nothin' in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

(Verse 2)
Now I can say it over and over again, I'm yours and I ain't goin' nowhere
And I know that ain't nobody out there better for me than you
Ain't no way I'm givin' this love to nobody else, cause they ain't worth it
What we got ain't far from perfect, cause we got ours and they still searchin'

(Chorus)
How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain't nothin' in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?

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

Said I thank you
And I love you
And I would never
Ever place
No one above you
Said I thank you
And yes I love you
And I would never
Ever place
No one above you

And I love you

(Verse 1)
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
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

(Verse 2)
Don't let them make you think, that you're not pretty enough
You're beauty runs so deep, so deep inside you
And you know that's the reason why you

(Chorus)
Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

(Bridge)
There's a fire inside of you, that they can never, ever understand
Take that light and burn strong and bright and

Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

You're born to (shine) you're born to (shine) said you're born to (shine)
You're born to (shine) you're born to (I said shine) you're born to (shine)
You're born to, you're born to, you're born to, you're born to, you're born to
