John Legend Get Lifted Lyrics
1.Prelude

Come on and go with me
There's something new for you to see
Come on and go with me
There's something new for you to see

2.Let's Get Lifted

Oh oh oh oh

I've got something new for you,when it hits you won't know what
to do
Relax let me move you
Don't resist it's in the air, just one taste will take you there
Let it flow right through you
I know you getting tired of the same ol' thing
But imma break the rules gonna change the game
You'll be screamin' my name
I'mma take you places you've never seen
You couldn't picture this in your wildest dream
Don't fear 'cause you're here with me

Let's get lifted, lifted
Ooh Im gonna get you high
Im really gonna blow your mind
We'll get lifted, lifted
You're gonna feel it in your soul
And baby you will lose control
We'll get lifted, high

Once you take a hit of this
You won't ever want to quit, you'll be so addicted
Gonna have you spinnin' 'round and 'round
Goin' crazy making freaky sounds
You won't want to come down
Then i'll have you seeing things and hallucinatin'
Even walking funny 'cause you legs are shakin'
All night we'll be blazin'
Oh i'll take you for a walk to the other side
We can get high and enjoy the ride
Hold tight we'll be alright

We'll get lifted, lifted
Oh im gonna get you high
Im really gonna blow your mind
We'll get lifted, lifted
You're gonna feel it in your soul
And baby you will lose control
We'll get lifted, high

Come on and go with me
(There's so much I want to show you, i'll take you high)
Hey i'll take you there, come on let me take you there
I will show you
(So much I want to show you, i'll take you high)
Oh oh oh, i'll take you there

(So much I want to show you, i'll take you high)
I'll take you there, come on let me take you there
So much I want to show you
I'll take you high


3.Used to Love U

Maybe it's me, maybe I bore you*
No, no, it's my fault cause I can't afford you
Maybe Baby, Puffy or Jay-Z
Would all be better for you
Cause all I can do is love you *

Baby, when I used to love you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
I went through the fire for you
Anything you asked me to
But I'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
I realize that I just don't love you
Not like I used to
Holla, holla, ha (yeah) *
Holla, holla, ha (yeah, yeah)*

Maybe I should rob somebody
So we could live like
Whitney and Bobby
It's probably my fault
My bad, my loss
but you are above cost*
And all I can do is love you *

Baby, when I used to love you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I went through the fire for you
Anything you asked me to
But I'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
I realize that I just don't love you
Not like I used to
Holla, holla, ha (yeah) *
Holla, holla, ha (yeah, yeah)*

Oh, I used to *
Love you (used to love you)
Oh, but I don't
Love you (i dont love u)
Oh, I used to
love you (used to love you)*

I bet you miss me now that I *
I dont love you*

5.She Don't Have to Know

Woo ooo oo oo ooo
Oh o o o o o o o
Yeah ee ee eah o o
Yaaay ay ay

Oh stealing moments just to be with you
Though it's wrong it's hard to tell the truth
Oh no, she don't have to know she dont have to know

When I meet you, I got my shades on to cover up my eyes
(Just to cover up my eyes)
Im hoping that nobody sees me passing by through my disguise
I still know you recognize
But you I know you got a little secret of your own
(Yes you do you know you wrong)
Sneaking out with me while your man's at home
You know you wrong, but it's so strong still carrying on
I go to the other side of town so I never risk the chance will
catch her eye
Oh no she dont have to know, she dont have to know
And oh girl I know you're doing the same thing too
I won't tell your man the things we do
Oh no he dont have to know, he dont have to know

Someones watching
You got to be careful next time or we're through
Damn it's so stressful doing the dirt we do so sad but true
And I know one day Im gonna pay
Then you ask me to sneak out of town for just a day or three
Go to DC and hold hands publicly all through the streets
'Cause they don't know you and they dont know me
And oh I feel sorry for mistakes we've made
There's no reason that we should tell her today
She dont have to know she dont have to know
And oh though you give a lot of love to me
Girl I know I'm not the only one you see
But he dont have to know he don't have to know

Oh it's getting crazy I don't want to hurt my baby
And I know it's suppose to be the last time for you and I
But lets not end this way lets wait another day, Oh
I dont want to let you go so i just can't let her know
She dont have to know yeah
Yeah oh I know you're doing the same thing too
Oh and he dont they dont have to know
Yeah oh


6.Number One

Ooh

You can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
You can't see all I do
To keep you from knowin' the things I do
Like erase my phone, and keep it out of town
Keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should've known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me now

You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time, but this is the last time
Don't leave me over, cause I can be faithful
Cause baby you're my number one
You're my number one

Now who is she, what's her name
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this, we fight about that
You hang up the phone, you call me right back
Well I'll never be something I'm not
Please don't throw away what we got
Cause we've been together for way too long
I was playing around, but I'm coming home

You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time, but this is the last time
Don't leave me over, cause I can be faithful
And baby you're my number one
You're my number one

I keep you laced up so you don't have to borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on ebay baby, why is they frontin'
They be on the internet, but they never cop nothing
I keep you in girl, what is those on your toes
And your neck stayin' froze off that rose-colored gold
I suppose you were told by those hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own, and he just be seein' shit
And I don't want to cheat, but I don't want to be saying shit
I try to jack off, he ask me who is you playin' with it
But I know he love you, he told me you was his favorite

You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time, but this is the last time
Don't leave me over, cause I can be faithful
And baby you're my number one
You're my number one

You're makin' it hard for me
You're messin' up everything
You told me I gotta leave
Say it ain't over

You saw that she came over
Came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover
Say we over

I promise I won't cheat
I promise I won't lie
I promise to act right
Say it ain't over

But you can't tell me
I can't have you, I can't have that


7.I Can Change

Hmm...

Hey yo nephew check this out man
Now I know you got that bad chick right there
You aint even tripping off of her
But she doing all of that for you
She got this, she got that
She's off the hizzle
I mean when you find one like that
You got to make that change man
Cuz they don't come too often
And when they do come
You gotta be smart enough to know when to change
Like Sam Cooke say change gon' come nephew
And you better believe that

As I look back on all that I've done to you
My biggest regrets
The things that I never could do
I see the light now baby it's shining through
Gotta give up the game
Yeah I got some changin' to do

I won't get high if you want it
Get that straight
9 to 5 if you want it
Keep my ass home at night if you want it
Whatever you need me to do

When you talk I'ma listen
Give you all that attention you missing
Girl I swear I'ma handle my business
Just like a real man should do

I can change
I can change (you know I can change baby)
I can change
For you (you know I can stop baby)
I can change (you know I change baby)
I can change
I can change
For you (you know I can stop baby)

I'll give up all the places I used to go
Stay out the club
Stay home because I'm with you
I'll give up all those girls that I used to know
They don't compare
Baby I swear it's the truth (you know it's the truth baby)

So I'm through with the women
Yeah that's right
I give up on the pimpin'
Girl I'm gonna repent from my sinnin'
If that's what you want me to do

I'll get right if you want it
Go to church
Get baptized if you want it
Girl you opened my eyes and I'm gonna
Be much better for you

Baby believe me
Baby believe me

I can change (you know I can change baby)
I can change (know I can change baby)
I can change
For you
I can change
I can change
I can change
For you

Take me to the river
And baptize my soul
I'm so outta control
Needing someone to hold
Man it's cold
I aint been clubbin', drinkin', or smokin'
I'm focused
Bowin' down every night prayin' and hopin'

I'm trying to figure out a way
But I just don't know how to say
But I'm rearrangin'
Hopefully I'm changin'
And you can see that
Baby cuz it's hard for me
Kinda sorta odd for me
But aint nothing to it
If you need me to do it
I guess...

I can change
I can change
I can change
For you (I'll give up on the pimpin' for you)
I can change
I can change
I can change
For you (sing it again y'all)

I can change
I can change
I can change
For you
I can change
I can change
I can change
For you

You know I can stop baby

Gotta believe me (you gotta believe me baby)
Gotta believe me (mmm yeah)
I telling the truth

You know I can stop baby

Gotta believe me (believe me)
Gotta believe me (believe me yeah)
I'm telling the truth

Get baptized if you want it
This time I mean it

Gotta believe me (this time I mean it)
Gotta believe me
I'm telling the truth


8.Ordinary People

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Girl, I'm in love with you
But this ain't the honeymoon
We've passed the infatuation phase
We're right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue every day

I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we've both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, oh oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh oh, this time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie, no
No fairytale conclusion y'all
It gets more confusing every day
Sometimes it's Heaven sent
Then we head back to Hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way

I hang up, you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, oh oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow

Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay
Maybe you''ll leave
Maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
Maybe we'll grow
We'll never know
Baby, you and I

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow, hey

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow


9.Stay With You

We've been together for awhile now
We're growin stronger every day now
It feels so good and there is no doubt
I will stay with you
As each morning brings the sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my lovin', you can rely
And I'll will stay with you

Oh, I will stay with you, through the ups and the downs
Oh, I will stay with you, when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise, I will stay by your side
And I know we'll be alright, I will stay with you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Though relationships can get old
They have the tendency to grow cold
We have something like a miracle, yeah
And I'll stay with you

Oh, I will stay you, through the ups and the downs
Yes, I will stay with you, when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise, I will stay by your side
And I know we'll be alright, I will stay with you

And there'll be heartaches and pain, yes it will
But through it all we will remain, hey
In this life, we all know friends may come and they may go
But through the years I know, I will stay

And in the end I know that we'll find
A love so beautiful and divine
And we'll be lovers for a lifetime
And I'll stay with you

Whoa, I will stay with you, through the ups the downs
Yes, I will stay with you, when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise, I will stay by your side
And I know we'll be alright, I will stay with you
Yea everything will be fine, yea and I'll stay with you
Through the end of all time, I will stay with you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

11.So High

Baby since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
You proved my fantasies what love could really be
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of a cloud we're floating away

Ooh this feels so crazy, how this love is blazin'
Baby we're so high, walking on cloud nine
You got me up so high
So High
My shoes are scraping the sky
So High
You got me up so high
Oh
My shoes are scraping the sky

Maybe later we could go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
And can't get much closer to god then where we are
We'll go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating way

Ooh this feels so crazy, oh this love is blazin'
And baby we're so high, walking on cloud nine
You got me up so high
So High
My shoes are scraping the sky
So High
You got me up so high
Oh

Oooh, yeah
Ooooo-ooh oh

You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky
Ooooh yeeaah
Mmmhaaaah ay

This is how, this is how love suppose to be
Let's go to the moon baby,oooh
Let's go to the moon baby, yeah
Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby
So high


12.Refuge(When It's Cold Outside)

I pray for better days to come
I pray that I would see the sun
Cuz life is so burdensome
When everyday's a rainy one

But suddenly there's no more clouds
I believe without a doubt
That heaven sent an angel down
And then she turned my life around

You know and I know
Friends come and friends go
Storms rise and winds blow
But one thing I know for sure

When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry cause
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
Cuz we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright it's alright

Oooh...

Now peace is so hard to find
We're terrorized and victimized
But that's when I close my eyes
And think of you to ease my mind
You take me to another place
There's no more war (no more war)
Just love and grace
Baby you restore my faith
I know the struggle's not in vain
You know and I know
Through all the battles
Baghdad to Israel
There's one thing I know for sure

When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry cuz
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
Cuz we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright it's alright

Alright it's alright
Alright it's alright
Alright it's alright

Oh...
When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry cuz
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
Cuz we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright it's alright

Oh it's gonna be alright
Ooh...

Cuz you give me peace
In the middle of the storm
When it's cold you're keeping me warm
It's alright
It's alright
I'm never gonna leave
You give me what I need
It's alright, alright


13.It Don't Have to Change

Oh do you remember (ooh)
When the family was everything? (ooh)
Oh do you remember? (ooh)
It was so long ago and so much has changed (ooh)
I wanna go back (go back...ooh)
Wanna go back to those simple days (ooh)
I wanna go back (go back...ooh)
But now we've grown and gone our separate ways

(aah)
Times is hard (times is hard)
And things are a changin'
I pray to God
That we can remain the same
All I'm trying to say is our love don't have to change
No it don't have to change

Do you remember (ooh)
Back at Grannie's house on Christmas Day? (ooh)
Help me sing...
Do you remember (ooh)

14.Live It Up

You know, we've been struggling for such a long time
Working here and there just to get by
It's finally time for me to get mine
No more, robbing Peter so we can pay Paul
Or going to momma's house to make a phone call

We're finally on our way baby now it's time to celebrate

Oh live it up, we can go crazy

'Cause boo I got the money today
Come on and go to the mall and lets play
Let's go, raise a toast to the days ahead
You can't take it with you when you're dead
You might as well enjoy it now instead
Oh now, it's about to be along evening

Do you remember when times were hard oh so hard
Through it all we've come so far, so we got to live it up
So we can just celebrate theres no more pain
Raise your glass and feel no shame, oh so we got to live it up
