Alicia Keys Songs In A Minor Lyrics
1.Piano & I

Lyrics:Alicia Keys
Music:Alicia Keys

Oh, oh, my goodness
I didn't know I was here
Do you know my name? (Can't go wrong when you try)
Always got to try
No matter how long that sh*t take
Yeah, yeah
Uh
Whatever stops you from dreamin'
Whatever trys to stop you from livin'
Flip it

Welcome home
'Cause right now what I got to do is
I gotta amp myself up as well as you
So yeah, so what it took me like
Maybe two years and sh*t
But I fell in prepared
You know what I'm sayin'
And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss
As I once was

So come on
What you waitin' on?
Feel me, feel me, feel me
What, uh, yeah
What, uh, yeah

What?


2.Girlfriend

Written:Alicia Keys/Jermaine Dupri/Joshua Thomson

Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
'Cause I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through

Talkin' late on the phone
Every night you've been callin'
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin'
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get in between
But I see possibilities

And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real, I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company

I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you


3.How Come You Don't Call Me

Lyrics:Prince
Music:Prince

But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good ...

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything you said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side, Papa, now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' to hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore?

Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still like it better when you holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why
Why you wanna go and break my heart?

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore?

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me, Papa
Oh, you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please, please
Oooh, won't you call me sometime, Papa?

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone?
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me?
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me?


4.Fallin'

Lyrics:Alicia Keys
Music:Alicia Keys

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I,I,I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I,I,I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Oh, oh, oh I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain?
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you

I,I,I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I,I,I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Oh, baby
Oh, oh, oh Fallin'
Oh, oh, oh Fallin'
Oh~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Oh~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I,I,I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I,I,I never loved someone
The way that I love you

what?


5.Troubles

Written:Alicia Keys/Kerry Brothers Jr.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)
This pain in my heart that follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (Mmmmm)
Oh, my goodness

Feels like the world is closin' on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared

If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles ain?t for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me
down
I can't seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place


6.Rock with U

Written:Alicia Keys/Tenisha Smith/Kerry Brothers Jr./Isaac

There's no escape on the spell you have placed
Leaving my heart and my mind
Foolish am I if I was to try to ever leave you behind

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

I'll stay and walk this life wit you
No matter what we may go through
Dead broke, no job, no house, no ride
I'm goin' stay right by your side

I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

Don't question where you're headed to, my love
Don't be afraid, just believe in love

I wanna rock wit you
No matter what we do
Wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

I wanna rock wit you
No matter what we do
Wit you with only you
I wanna rock wit you

I wanna rock wit you
No matter what we do
Wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you

Do your thing, do your thing,
Do your thing, do your thing


7.A Woman's Worth

Lyrics:Alicia Keys/Erika Rose
Music:Alicia Keys/Erika Rose

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 candle
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
?Cause baby you know I'm worth it

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right
Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

Mmm

?Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman?s worth

Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm

Hold up
If you treat me fairy
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

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 chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

Ohhh

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!

9.Goodbye

Lyrics:Alicia Keys
Music:Alicia Keys

Mmm, bye, bye

How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

I know now I was naive
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye


10.The Life

Lyricist:Alicia Keys/Tenisha Smith/Kerry Brothers Jr.
Writer(s):Alicia Keys/Tenisha Smith/Kerry Brothers Jr.


Jeden Tag realisiere ich, das dies vielleicht der letzte Tag
meines Lebens sein könnte
Wenn ich die Straße entlanggehe, bemerke ich, dass ich immer
näher und näher dran bin meinen Verstand zu verlieren
Weil es schüttet, wenn es regnet
Ist das Leben nicht mehr wert?
Ich weiß nicht einmal genau, wovor ich mich eigentlich fürchte
Du hast das zu tun, was Du halt tun musst um es zu schaffen
All die schweren Zeiten, die Dir ins Gesicht blicken

Das ist das Leben, versuche zu überleben
Das ist das Leben, versuche zu überleben

Das Leben wird immer ein Kampf sein
Nach jemandem zu suchen, der Dich liebt
Wenn ich zurückschaue auf einzelne schreckliche Ereignisse,
bringt mich dieser Wahnsinn dazu, dass ich mich verstecken
möchte
Langsam, innerlich, gehe ich unter
Mein Kopfkissen ist ganz nass vom weinen
Es gibt nichts mehr, für das es sich für mich zu leben lohnt
Bring mich hier weg, ich kann dieses Leben nicht mehr leben




Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life

Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer
to losing my mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to
hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for me to live for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

I'm just trying to get over


11.Mr.Man

Written:Alicia Keys/Jimmy Cozier
Featuring:Alicia Keys/Jimmy Cozier

Somethin' about the way you smiled at me juss drove me wild
Wish I could know if you're alone, don't wanna cramp your style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into

Feel my heart beating fast for a challenge may arise

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Maybe I've had too much remy, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I'll play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonite

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man

I know all you wanna know is answers
Cuz you could give me what I need
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead?

I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair

I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)

Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man


12.Never Felt This Way

Lyrics:Brian Mcknight
Music:Brian Mcknight

Ahhhh...
Ahhhhhhhh...

There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all

Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms, they keep away the lonelys
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life

?Cause I never felt this way about lovin ... Nooooo
Never felt so good ... Baby
Never felt this way about love
And it feels so good


13.Butterflyz

Lyrics:Alicia Keys
Music:Alicia Keys

Hmmmmm...
Lately, when I look into your eyes
Baby I fly, your the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe,
How lovely you make me feel inside

You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin? so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin? so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

It seems like the likely thing
From the start you told me
I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I wanna give you everything

You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin? so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin? so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You and I
Are destiny
I know that
You were made for me.

OoOoOh....oh
I can't control it
It?s driven me
Its taken over me and I
OoOoOh...

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying? so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin? so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz


You give me something I just cant deny
Something thats so free
I just can't control the way I feel
And I don't
You give me somthing I just can't deny
Something thats so free
Oh I never felt like this


14.Why Do I Feel So Sad

Written:Alicia Keys/Warryn Campbell

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
'Cause I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

'Cause I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh


By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why


15.Caged Bird

Lyrics:Alicia Keys
Music:Alicia Keys

Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh, just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty


16.Lovin' You
