[Chorus]
When my man leave the house, I know he 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]
When my man leave the house, I know he 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 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]
When my man leave the house, I know he 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)

[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)

[Chorus]
When my man leave the house, I know he 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)

When my man leave the house, I know he 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)

Another night
Have you been where you say you been?
So tell me why in the hell you just strolling in?
Now I ain’t got the patience to be playing boy
I’ve been waiting by the phone to hear your story
Getting tired of them same lame excuses coming
Now tell me do you have the answers to my questions

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 knowing all that you do?
And why am I so much in love with you baby?

Honey, 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 [x2]

It seems like you think it’s cool
to run around with other chicks
while I’m sitting home trying
to figure out why
it’s you I’m with
What’s a girl to do
Cause I didn’t have enough of you
I don’t want to stay another day
waiting like a fool
It ain’t like I ain’t fly
and can’t find another guy
It’s bad cause the heart
got me staying
and I don’t know why
Cause I love you like no other
I touch you like no other
even uh like no other
got your back like no other

Now I ain’t got the patience to be playing boy
I’ve been waiting by the phone to hear your story
Getting tired of them same lame excuses coming
Now tell me do you have the answers to my questions

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 knowing all that you do?
And why am I so much in love with you baby?

Honey, 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 [x2]

Said I don’t know
what it is that you’re thinking
Cause what you did to me
is coming back to get you babe
Hey, you better be careful out there
Cause you ain’t never gonna find another like me

Why you can’t love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain’t my heart strong enough not to leave?
Said why do I stay knowing all that you do?
And why am I so much in love with you baby?

Honey, 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 [x2].

[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.

[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

[Outro]
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.

I would never let a tear
Fall from your eyes
(Oh, no, no, no)
Cause everything
Tou are to me
(Ooooh)
I could never let you
Hurt inside
You mean so much
And I’m so thankful
That your 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
Standing here
Before your eyes
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

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.

(feat. Akon & Nelly)

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

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
