Told You So

Sparkle Told You So歌詞
1.Don't Know Why

What's going on?
Tell me what's up
Do you wanna know why
This woman's fed up
People running their mouth
But they don't know
I might as well changed my name to jackie o
Drama filled life, no privacy
Them fuckin' magazines keep lyin' on me
Sometimes i wanna fly
Far, far away
But there'll be somebody there
With something else to say

1 - i don't know why
Why you wanna talk about me
I don't know why
Why they keep on lyin' on me
(i don't know why)

I don't know why
Scandal must be my first name
I don't know why
Somebody tell me who's the one to blame
(i don't know)

What i do with my life
Ain't nobody's biz
What i do with my time
I wish you'd let me live
See everywhere i go
Your cameras follow me
Don't you know frames cover my eyes?
So my tears you never see
Tell me how much more
Do you think that i can take
Have the chauffer drive me home
Paparazzi's at my gate
Try to ruin me, i ain't gonna let you do
Got a call from the marshall firm
Somebody else wanna sue

Repeat 1

Hi this is busty rhymes of stone tv
Coming to you live in front of the daily center
For what could be the biggest verdict of the new millennium
State versus sparkle
It is a complete circus of paparazzi
Waiting for one glimpse of this superstar
Guilty or not guilty is the question today
You can feel the tension surrounding this case
One moment, the verdict just in
Innocent, innocent on all counts
Sparkle, sparkle, how does it feel to be vindicated?
(what do you think?)

Repeat 1 until fade


2.The Ghetto

Can i talk about the ghetto?
That's where i'm from
Listen up, whoa

Just ridin' through the neighborhood
What i see don't look too good
All my brothers hustlin'
All my sisters strugglin'
Just to make it through another day
Just another day
That's just the way it is
(just the way it is)
When you're living

(living in the ghetto)
Trying to make it seems so hard
(living in the ghetto)
Unemployment, don't even have no jobs
(living in the ghetto) whoa
(i grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, ghetto whoa

Still got so many memories (memories)
Growing up with my family (oh family)
Still westside 'till i die (throw it up)
And even though i'm living in a highrise
It's not where you are but it's where you're from
Daddy told me long ago
That's why i'll never forget my days
(never forget my days, no)

(living in the ghetto)
People don't got no where to go
(living in the ghetto)
Pimps and hustlers everybody knows
(living in the ghetto) whoa
(i grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, in the ghetto

Play on, play on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Somebody tell me why
It has to be this way
Oh why?
Don't give up, no, no
Listen

This is for my queens
Keep your hopes high
Stay down on your knees
Praying every night
There'll be days like these
Mama used to say
Ain't no need to worry
He's gonna make a way

And this is for my kings
Don't forget respect
Gotta keep moving on
Cause it ain't over yet
Keep your head about it
Keep your head about it
'bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it

While you're living
(living in the ghetto)
See i'll never forget where i'm from, no, no
(living in the ghetto)
And how far i've come, see i've come too far
(living in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, who
(i grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, the ghetto

(living in the ghetto)
So many kids out in the streets
(living in the ghetto)
2 o'clock in the morning when they need to be at home asleep
(living in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, in the ghetto


3.It's A Fact

Baby i've been thinking 'bout
All the wrong you've done
Making like everything is good
And i'm the only one
Did you think that i wouldn't see
Guess you thought that i wouldn't know
Old girl knocked at my door
And this is what she told me

Yes it's a fact
I love him so
But i ain't gonna put up with his shit
And don't you put up with his games no more
Oh no
Just had to let you know
She said i had a right to know

Funny how she knew about
When i was out of town (in la)
Even knowing the date and time
That my plane was letting down (2 am)
She talked about how she cooked and fed (steak and eggs)
She even knew the sheets on my bed (baby blue)
I had to stop, i had to cool down
I had to cool it down

Okay, now i appreciate
The fact she let me know
Shitty how this all went down
I had to see her to the door
How could you go and wreck this home
Catching hell when i'm gone
Grab your things and let the wind blow
Just let the wind blow

1 - yes it's a fact
I loved you so
But i ain't gon' put up with your shit
Ain't gon' put up with your games no more
Oh no, already told you so
Get like the wind and blow

Repeat 1

After all that i've done
Never thought you'd be the one
After all that i've been through
My biggest hurt had to come from you

Never thought you'd let me down
Never thought that you would clown
Never thought i'd sing this song
Don't know where it all went wrong

Repeat 1
Repeat 1


4.Lovin' A Man

See there ain't nothing better than
When you got someone that wants to hold you real tight
(that's tight)
Ain't that right girls? (that's right)
And there ain't nothing better than
When you got someone who knows how to treat you right
(damn right)
I know what i'm talking about (damn right)

He keeps me thinking and dreaming
And singing all day
Waiting for him just to call me and say
How much he loves me
That's what he does, you see

1 - when you're lovin' a man
Don't you let nothing come in between what you got
That's right, that's right

When you're lovin' a man
You do anything that you can do
To keep it tight
That's tight, that's right

See when he gets home from work
I got bath water ready to wash his body down
(that's right)
Even wash his feet real good
(that's right)
And then we make love, i just can't help myself
I just lose control
(good love) that's what he gives to me
(good lovin') that's why i cook and i clean
And i take care of him
Cause he loves me, i'll do it again and again
Because that's my man and i'll do whatever i can
See when you're lovin'

Repeat 1

But listen here

See ladies, i'm not waiting to exhale
No, no, i'm breathing now
See, when you got a good man
And i did say a good man, that's right
You will stand by him
Support that man the best you can
Even through those rough, rough times
Y'all know it's hard out here
But make sure you're doing what you can

Repeat 1 until fade


5.Into My Life

Hmm, yeah
Wanna talk about my life, my life
Wanna talk about my life, my life
Oh yeah

You see i never knew a love like this before
I gave you my life to walk right out the door
You said our love would stand the test of time
Or was that just a line

The love that you gave was so amazing, why
Why did you have to come and wreck my life
Don't understand the reason, i can't tell
I'm going out of my mind

1 - into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart

Repeat 1

Time after time, moment to moment you
Told me baby you loved me, so can't you
See how you crushed my heart with those few words
Or was it just rehearsed

When i lay at night all i can think is you
Just one more time, so many things i'd do
To keep you coming back and wanting more
How could you walk out that door

Gave you my love
You didn't appreciate it
Gave you my time
Boy how i do regret it
Never will i
Brother you can forget it
I'll be fine

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

So don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life

Don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life

Repeat 1 till end

Ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay

Ain't no flowers gonna bring her back to you
No way
When a woman's heart is broken

Had all your business in the street
You took that trip to tiffany's
And you bought a ring but it was not for me

I'm not gonna smash your windows
I'm not gonna burn your clothes
I just wanna see you get the hell out now

(can i take you shopping baby?) no nigga
(what about dinner?)

Get your things and get them fast
I just wanna see you get out now

I'm just here by myself, that's all
You know what you need to do
You need to get up and get over here
Right now

Another lonely night again, all alone by myself
Layin' in this empty room, kinda dark, kinda cold
I need someone to lay with me, hold me tight all night long
Take away this emptiness and fill it up with some romance

1 - all i really want is someone to love me down
All i really want is someone to come around
All i really want is someone between my sheets
All i really want is someone here lovin' me

Don't wanna talk no more, just get right down to it
Put it on, that way no need to stop again
Just wanna feel your body deep, like deep inside
Before you get yours, be sure that i get mine
A couple times

All that i been thinking 'bout
Is you on top of me
All that i been dreamin' 'bout
Is you here lovin' me

Repeat 1

I just can't believe the way you're makin' me feel
My body's shakin', skakin', i just can't keep still
And when you're talkin' dirty, sounds so good to me
It's such a burnin' bed you'll see
Because you're giving me what i need

Repeat 1

Round and round we go, go, go
Up and down, real slow, slow, slow
Ooh it feels so right, right, right
We'll be up in here all night, night, night

Repeat 1
Repeat 1


9.Somebody Else

I been hearin' 'bout you, talking 'bout you, thinking 'bout you
Reminiscing about all those things we used to do
I'm still lovin', are you worrying on your feinin' for you
Makin' every move i can to get back close to you

I regrert that day i told you i don't need you 'round
If i had one wish, i'd make the clock rewind
You were so good to me
But you probably can convince somebody else

Oh no, no
(spending all of your time)
Spend time

My girls told me that they saw you last week at the mall
Pullin' out in your poor bently drop top, ready to ball
You pulled over for a moment just to say hello
And that trick that you was with said that you had to go

Didn't ask how i was doin' didn't mention my name
But i know deep down inside that you feel the same
What was runnin' through my mind
Boy you're spending time with somebody else

Repeat 1

Hangin' all day, picnic in the park
Oak street shoppin', fancy restaurants
Givin' back rubs, takin' long flights
Check in hotels, sexin' all night
Hot bubble baths, sippin' champagne
What he's doin' for another, i'm the one to blame

You were so good to me
Now you're doin' things with somebody else

Repeat 1

11.Games

I'm tired of sittin' here thinkin' bout you
Where you goin', who you wit, and why you ain't called yet
When the next set a table for two
With massage, roses and everything
You used to give me, now is gone
Out of my mind is where i don't belong
Already said be careful what you do to me
Cuz it might come back to you

1 - why you wanna play games, i ain't got time
Ya see, i can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like i should play the same games
Do you really wanna?

Still playin' games, i ain't got time
Ya see, i can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like i should play the same games
Do you really wanna?

You know i could be out there doin' the fool
With the next nigga wanna spend some time with me
Even though i'd rather be with you
It's like, outta sight, outta mind

What do you expect for me to feel
I ain't got the time to sit and fade around
Thinkin' bout where you goin', why you ain't called
Who you wit, whachu doin'

And i don't know what you talkin' about
You say you need some time to find yourself
It only sounds like another excuse
Must be someone else
That you been givin' all your time

Probably trickin' every dime
While i pay the car note, pay the rent
Pay the phone bill
You really need to stop your playin' games

Repeat 1

2 - see, if i didn't answer my cell
Would you trip out?
And if i didn't answer my page
Would you freak out?
If i stayed all night at the club
Would you bug out?
And if i had numbers in my pants
Would you check out?

If i put my girls before you
Would you stress out?
Late night calls from my ex
Would you be out?
Tricks are for kids silly rabbit, i'm grown
Please take your games, go on
Play it on your own

Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 2

See, i can play it better


12.Never Can Say Goodbye

Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye, no

I had a few lovers in my life
Had to walk away cause things wasn't right
I had no problem moving on
Cause i still had to be strong
(you know we gotta be strong)

Never thought that i would feel this way
All my skies blue from being grey
Never be another, baby
I need the love you give to me
(you give to me)

1 - at night, hold my pillow so tight
Can't you see why i cry, cry, cry
I can't sleep and i can't eat
Ooh baby see no one does it like you do
Can't stop loving you baby, baby, baby
Can't you see that i could never say

2 - (never can say)
Never can say goodbye
(never can say)
Never can say goodbye, no, goodbye no
(never can say)
Never can say goodbye
(never can say)
Never can say goodbye, no, goodbye no

Don't tell me, what's a girl to do
When she's so in love with you
I don't know, baby
Sometimes you make me lose control
See nobody, nobody but you
Can hold me tight
And when we make love, it feels so right
Can't nobody do me like you do it
When you're doing me, oh, oh, oh

Repeat 1
Repeat 2

Tell me why you're leaving
I can't understand
I can't help what i'm feeling
I just can't let your love go

Tell me why you're leaving
I can't understand
I can't help what i'm feeling
I just can't let you go

Repeat 2 till end
