Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys - A Womans Worth


(Verse 1)
You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, and last
Baby, you know I'm worth it

(Bridge)
Wanna' please; wanna' keep; wanna' treat your
woman right?
Not just dough; better show, that you know she's
worth your time
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth!
Mmmmmmmmm

(Chorus)
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first)
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth

Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmm

(Hold up)

(Verse 2)
'Cause If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods...
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
'Cause baby, I know you're worth it

(Bridge 2)
She walks the mile; makes you smile, all the while
being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has
for you
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows
her worth!
...OH!

(Chorus)
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please me)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first, baby)
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth

[Breakdown]
No need to read between the lines
Spelled out for you (spelled out for you)
Just hear this song
'Cause you can't go wrong when you value(Better value...)
A woman's, woman's, woman's, woman's Worth! (yeah)


[Chorus (x2)]
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her[1st time]) (nothin' like a woman's worth [2nd time])
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please me [1st time]) (ohhh, ooh [2nd time])
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first, baby [1st time]) (comes first [2nd time])
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth (a woman's worth)


Mmmmn hmmn (x1)
Dooooh

[Verse 1:]
Broken promises
My heart you stole
Lies you told
Got the best of me
Digging in my heart of gold
Used to look at you
And see the possibilities
I see you for who you are
Boy you've disappointed me

[Hook:]
I thought you gave me love
Was never near enough
Soon enough time reveals
Love wait of what is real
Know all I need to know
But see you got to go
What have you given me?
But lies lies

[Chorus:]
Go head go on and get up out of here
Go head baby
You knew you was wrong
You knew all along
Must be crazy
If you think I'm gone fall for this anymore
Everybody say no no no no no
Everybody say no no no no no

[Verse 2:]
You still believe in every word you said
Clouds my head
Leaving me here to drown
Hopes and dreams therefore dead
You point your finger
Trying to justify your mistakes
Our days is goin to be made
So you best be on your way

[Hook]

[Chorus]

No need to apologize
Don't try to make it right
I know
I should known betta
When you took hold
I was sold
Using fear to control
Now it unfolds
Let me tell you right now
What I'm gonna do
Imade up my mind
It's time and I'm through with you
Nothing you can say or can do
Can make me change me mind

[Chorus]

Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

[Verse 1:]
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be Sure ooooohhhh
That it will only get better

[Hook:]
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause everything's going to be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's going to be alright

[Chorus:]
No One
No One
No Oooooonnnneeee
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One
No One
No Oooooonnnneeee
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For You
Yoooouuu Yoooouuuuu
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For Yoouuu

[Verse 2:]
When the rain is pouring doooooowwn
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know For Certain

[Hook:]
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause everything's going to be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's going to be alright

[Chorus:]
No One
No One
No Oooooonnnneeee
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One

[Bridge:]

Some People Search The World
To Find
Something Like What We Have
I Know
People Will Try, Try To Divide Something So Real
So Till The End Of Time
I'm Telling You That No One

[Chorus:]
No One
No One
No Oooooonnnneeee
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One

Oh(oh)

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

Oh Oh Ohhhhh

How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it's everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You're beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don't really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you'll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you'll never see me again
(like you'll never see me again)

Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

He broke my heart
And now it's' raining
Just to rub it in
I'm at your door
I feel so crazy about it
You'll say "I told you so"
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came round'
I'm back on solid ground
Can't let it get me down

It's' alright
It's' alright
It's' alright
It's' alright
It's' alright
It's' alright

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So called it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute
To fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already know you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can take it anymore

I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Life perfect
Ain't perfect
If you don't know what the struggles' for
Falling down
Ain't falling down
If you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You ought to see me now

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying

Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby

Let's go back there
Let's take it there

When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go

[Chorus:]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant

Let's go back there
Let's take it there

Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.


When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go

[Chorus:]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Ooh baby, let's go

[Chorus:]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreamin about you all day in school can't concentrate
Wanna have your voice in my ear till mama come and say it's too late
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor staircase
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want u to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I write your name in my book your last name my first I'm your mrs
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide

Cause you are my baby baby

It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too boy
Third base
Betta pump the brakes and baby slow down

Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me

It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

My first teenage love affair

Na na na na noooo
No noooo noooo
Na na na na noooo
No noooo noooo

The sand loves when... the waves come
The sky can't wait... for the light of the sun
So how could you... look me in my eye
And not see what what I feel inside
Tell me how could youuuu... doubt the fact that I
I love you...
I love you

Don't you ever... think like that.
Don't you ever... never do that?
There will never be two things... that go together better
Than you and me...

North needs south east needs west...
No needs yes yes yes
Up needs down life needs death...
No needs yes yes yes

I need you
I need you
I need you
You... I need you
No noooo noooo

So how could you... look me in my eye
And not see what what I feel inside
Tell me how could youuuu... doubt the fact that I
I love you...
I love you

Don't you ever... think like that.
Don't you ever... never do that?
There will never be two things... that go together better
Than you and me...

North needs south east needs west...
No needs yes yes yessss
Up needs down life needs death...
No needs yes yes yessss

I need you
Oh baby I need you
No noooo noooo
Everyday... I need you
Na na na na noooo
You... I need you
No noooo noooo
Hey hey Heyyyy
I need youuu
No noooo noooo
Hey hey heyyyyy
Like the desert needs the rain
Like joy needs pain

(My man don't want me no more
And he said he needs he needs time
To clear his mind
Meanwhile I'm losing mine...
Whoo hoo hoo)

We're at the crossroads, my dear
Where do we go from here?
Maybe you won't go, maybe you'll stay
Oh I know I'm gonna miss you either way
It's such a lonely road

Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears

Oh
When I cry your name
Am I calling in vain
Oh and am I waiting only to drown in pain
Oh
Don't you do it
No, said don't you leave me this way
I don't know
If I can lift my head and face another day
Ooh it's such a lonely road

Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears

Usually not the kind of girl who's lost and looking for direction
(Tell me who could this be? Staring at me)
When I'm looking in the mirror tryna find a resolution
(We too far gone, to find our way home)

Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears

Mhmmmm... yeah yea yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Mhmhmh [x3]

Sometimes I feel... like I don't belong anywhere. And it's gonna take... so long for me to get to somewhere...

Sometimes I feel so heavy hearted,.. but I can't explain cause I'm so guarded. But that's a lonely road to travel, and a heavy load to... bear.

And it's a long, long way to heaven but I gotta get there... Can you send an angel... ? Can you send me an angel... to guide me.

Guess I'm caught up everyday
Tryin to keep it all together
While the time just slips away
See I know nothing lasts forever

Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There'd be no limit to my sorrow
So all I can say

[chorus:]
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cause it would all mean nothing
If I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something
Show you something
Won't wait til it's too late

I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I won't wait til it's too late

Just a simple conversation (... sation)
Just a moment is all it takes (yeah)
I wanna be there just to listen
(I wanna be here)
And I don't wanna hesitate (oh no)

Imagine there was no tomorrow (imagine)
Imagine that I couldn't see your face (your face)
There'd be no limit to my sorrow (oh no)
Cause there is nothing that can fill this space

I don't wanna put it off for too long
I didn't say all that I had to say
I wanna take the time to right the wrongs
Before we get to the play

[chorus:]
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cause it would all mean nothing
If I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something
Show you something
Won't wait til it's too late

Just lean on my shoulder
It's not over til it's over
Don't worry boy
Cause I'm gonna make sure
I'm gonna get stronger yeah

I don't wanna wait until the storm
There's something wrong
And now you're gone
And I can't find ya

[chorus:]
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cause it would all mean nothing
If I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something
Show you something
Won't wait til it's too late

[chorus]

I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(I won't wait til it's too late)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(no... won't wait, no no)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(I won't late til it's too late)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
No no no no no
No no
(I can't wait, I won't wait)

Life is cheap, bitter sweet
But it seems good to me

Take my turn, crash and burn
It's how it's supposed to be

So don't rain on my parade
Life's to short to waste one day

I'm gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it's sure looks good to me

Time passed by and leaves you behind
Taken as you leave

Heaven knows (OH) There's so much more
More than what we see

So don't rain on my parade
Life's to short to waste one day

I'm gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it's sure looks good to me

(HEY) It sure looks good to me

Ooh, ooh, oooo, oohh
Yea, yea, yea

Ooh, ooh, oooo, oohh
Yea, yea, yea

Deep in my mind I'm secure we can buy
I wanna life before I die or a lie in an empty space

The darkness comes and I've been telling my soul
And me and myself we turn around, we're getting old

But the lightning crashing, foolish emotions
Of the burses and the beauty in this moment that we're feeling

And I feel like I'm seeing the world inside of me
But I can tell you that no, it's getting easy and I'm free

There's a cold in the morning, endless equation
Of who've we become, it's a complex situation

So live, love, lie give love
Live, love, lie give love
Live, love, lie give love

It's who are we

So don't rain on my parade
Life's to short to waste one day

I'm gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it's sure looks good to me

(HEY) It sure looks good to me
(I'm telling you) It sure looks good to me

(YEA) It sure looks good to me

Looks good to me, yea, yea, yea

I Know You
Don't Know What
I'm Going Through
Standing Here
