The Way It Is

Keyshia Cole The Way It Is Lyrics
1.I Just Want It To Be Over

Over and Over
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (Alicia Keys)
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (Keyshia Cole)
It's the way it is

Baby I remember
a time when we were so secure but
Now it's like December
when you say that I'm so insecure and
I gotta get away
cause' your making me weak
It's keeping me trapped (keeping me trapped)
I gotta be a fool
sitting here tryna get that old thing back (thing back oh)
Oh

You use to keep your word
was one who always did what you said
You use to speak to me so sweet
with something caring to say
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, you don't even care no more

I don't wanna love you
don't wanna need you
just wanna leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)

It's like I hate to love ya
a charade we play time after time (time after time)
It's like ya love to see me
confused and a mess I'm losing my mind (I'm losing my mind)
I gotta get away
cause' your making me weak
It's keeping me trapped (keeping me trapped)
I gotta be a fool
sitting here tryna get that old thing back (thing back oh)
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

You use to keep your word
was one who always did what you said
You use to speak to me so sweet
with something caring to say
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, why you don't care no more

I don't wanna love you
don't wanna need you
just wanna leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
Hey

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (La,La,La,La)
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (No I don't wanna here it no more)
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (All the lies, Oh)
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (You, You, You use to)

You use to keep your word (hey)
was one who always did what you said (baby you cared)
You use to speak to me so sweet (so sweet)
with something caring to say (oh)
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, why you don't care no more

I don't (I don't) wanna love you
don't wanna (no) need you
just wanna (I wanna) leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (Hey)

I don't (Oh) wanna love you
don't wanna need you
just wanna (don't wanna) leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (Can it be over?)

Over and Over!


2.I Changed My Mind

Vocal:Keyshia Cole/Kanye West

You know who you are
Yea you

Kanye West on the track by the way

Yea...
No, No

There's this girl I know
so deep in love (in love)
Do almost anything
to make him see she's the one
but he doesn't feel a girl like her
He's so, so wrapped up
Cause the average girl
will give him anything he wants

He's so caught up
He won't call her
He shows no love
So she decides

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

It's the funniest thing cause I
know how I feel inside
but you never felt the same as I
(never, never, never, ohh)
I miss him so much
I bet you don't even notice
and he don't even realise
Cause he...

He's so caught up
He won't call her
He shows no love
So she decides

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

I'm so over you
got no more to give
I gave it all to you
and you couldn't handle it
and I don't care
if you come back to me on your knees
I just don't love you no more

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

Stop

What you thinkin'
When you see me on the corner
and you see me hagin' out
Niggas on the block
don't care what it's all about

And stop

What you thinkin'
when you see me comin through
and you see me with a nigga
on the corner til' 2


3.Thought You Had My Back

Every girls got to go through it and every man has to go through
it its a thing called love.
Listen to me now Listen to me.
I still remember the day that you said you was a badboy.
Man I should have listened when you said you was a bad boy.
You took control of me I thought you would change for me.
Everything different now reminiscing ain't the same boy,
How I let you come and hurt me like this boy.
This boy, I am open now I want to get away but you are forcing
me to stay.

Love I thought you had my back this time but man I am wrong this
time.
It's a thing called
(thought you had my back)
Love I thought you had my back this time, but man I am wrong
this time,.
It's a thing called Love.

I loved you for your ways but your ways hurt me bad boy.
Hurt me so bad why you want to see me sad boy, I am tired of
crying over you
but I miss you so much I don't know what to do seems that I
gotta move on
live life with out cha, but every time someone comes around to
talk about you
I get feelings inside again I wanna be right back by your side
again.


Ooh ooh ooh You got me ya, ooh You got me ooh ooh, You got me
ya, oooh.
And I don't know what to do. I thought you had my back I am so
wrong I am so wrong.

Ya its all good though sometimes in life you know situations
come your way you just gotta make good decisions man,
You know you gotta know your focus in life and if love is your
focus then man pay attention.

You got me ya. I am so stuck right here.


4.I should have Created

Baby . . .


First of all let me say
You can't accuse me of all the things
you know that you are guilty of
And I see that it is easy for you to blame
everything on me
If that's the case I should go have my fun
and do all the things you say I do
Boy I can't continue to take this from you


I might as well have cheated on you
As much as you accused me of cheating
I might as well have lied to you
As much as you accused me of lying
I might as well have gone to the club
As much as you accused me of clubbin'
I might as well have threw away my love
As much as you accused me


You say I was out with somebody else
When my girl told me she saw you with some girl
(Some girl)
But I didn't accuse you of something that I didn't see myself
Realize that I wouldn't never do anything to disrespect you
Trust me, you gotta stop accusing me


Don't you know I wish I knew
that you would treat me this way
If you don't promise me
that you've changed your ways I'm leaving today
And I ain't coming back
And you made it like that
Was unfair to me
All this jealousy
I'm your everything
What will you do without me?
Why you trippin'?


I should have lied
I should have cheated
Maybe I should have went out to the club
Or maybe I ... should have done it
Should have given away all my love
Or maybe I ... I should have played you
Cause you don't appreciate me, no
And I tried to stay down with you
But you're making it hard for me


As much as you accused me of cheatin'
I should have cheated
As much as you accused me of lying
As much as you accused me of clubbin'
(I love you)
As much as you accused me of cheatin'
I should have cheated


5.Guess What?

I am tired of the bullshit competin with these other chicks

Now you wanna conversate sit back talkin about the mistakes you
made

tendency to cheat shame on me

thought she would be stay off me.
Tell me what in the hell your thinkin not keysh being home alone
another weekend not keysh
I let you get away with this nonsense for to long aint gone be

Everything I told you I showed you everything I promised came
true if not boo I owe you.
And its your loss now and it aint nothin you now me

cards
and I can't lie Ima miss pullin your and hittin it from the back
hard uh guess what
I'm just bein a man I messed up fortunately I ain't got the best
luck
but at the end of the day ask me if I give a less fuck.

I am tired of the bullshit competin with these other chicks
you don't know what to do with this you act like
Guess What nigga I am leaving you and guess what
I am needin my keys from you I was so stupid for love th-in-kin
you was everything
a real man can give me and more but guess not nigga
Im leavin you and guess what I'm needin my key's from you.
I was so stupid for love th-in-kin you was everything
a real man can give me and more but guess not nigga I'm leavin

So where were you where you been you didn't answer your phone

So now you gone try to play me yo I'm tired of this bullshit get

And get the fuck out.


6.Love


I used to think that I wasn't fine enough
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryin' to figure, out
why you playing games, whats this all about
And I can't believe,
Your hurting me
I mad your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You aint see in me
But i guess it was all just make-believe


Oh, Love

but I knew once we started kissin'
I found......

Go on baby without you....
My rainy days fade away when you,

Go on baby without you....
Rainy days fade away

7.You've Changed

I already heard your side of the story now hear mine,
Ima tell you why cause you changed when you got doe?nananana? no

I remember like yesterday the very day I met you,
you was lookin fly I was actin shy so when you walked by
I ignored you good thing you turned around and asked me my name
in an instant
my attitude changed swept me off my feet you were so sweet
feelin kinda deep
you amused me gave you my number next day you called askin if
you can see me
so I said alright you can stop on by it gave me butterflys,

and late these are the day's when a girl like me needs lovin if
he's not
then someone else is getting what he causes you wasn't takin
care of home
left me there alone so whats a girl to do when she's feelin in
the mood we were together
but we grew apart thinkin with my mind and not my heart packed
up all my things left the engagement
ring
cause from the looks of things I can't do this live this life
that I call my life
and if this is what is like being your wife I'd rather be your
friend then through thick and thin
but now it's the end my sufferin.

You changed You changed you got doe and changed you got doe and
you changed baby

got doe and you changed what was I to do.

What was I to do, sit around and wait for you to call

knows where
you act like you didn't care when I wouldn't be here, cause you
changed.

You changed You changed you got doe and changed you got doe and
you changed baby
you changed it wasn't the same you got doe and you changed you
got doe and you changed what was I to do.

9.Situations

Hey, she can't love you like I love you
Started really simple
Coming through cuz I missed you, and I couldn't wait to kiss you
I tried to play shy a little, but not trying to move fast but
not too slow
Because I know, you're the kind of guy, I see you already got me

She could never beh no
Half as good as me, let me show
You know what I mean, cuz I'm the real thing and I got to have
you
Been here by your side, living for you day and night
I don't understand why you're not my man but
I should be your girl

I'm falling in love again, god damn we kissed again, it went a
little bit further than
I'm falling, oohh
I thought this boy was just a friend, I need my baby here
Cuz can't nobody love me like he can

And now it's late now no talk, conversations on the phone
getting sparked
I'm about to jump in my car, and come and see you
I'm holding back I miss you, I'm letting go tonight
Oh, and baby I need you, and nothing can stop me, we're too
close now

Everything you do, got me crazy over you , I cant stand the
fact, that she is always on your back so
what's up
What you going do, cuz I'm really feeling you, oh yeah
And boy I need to know, if you think that I should be your girl

I'm falling in love again, god damn we kissed again, it went a
little bit further than
I'm falling, oohh
I thought this boy was just a friend, I need my baby here
Cuz can't nobody love me like he can

She can't love you like I love you

Dang shorty I got my mind on my money and the hood got me tied
up
Plus my baby momma keep me fired up, these other broads probably
get me wired up
But a fly nigga could see that you a rider, that's how you got
me creepin' and crawlin'
deep into a bawl six in the morning, we in the zone deep then we
all in,
trying to get it on then the b*tch keep callin' (I need you) And
she be killing it though, I see you
trying to fight it but you feelin' me though
Look, I'm feeling you right back, I'm gonna pick you up in the
back I know you like that


10.Down And Dirty

I want to get you, want to get
Let's go and get down and dirty
Baby play the game, play my way
But either way it's all the same baby

I want to get you, want to get
Let's go and get down and dirty
Baby play the game, play my way
But either way it's all the same baby

You're the type of guy to drive a girl wild
And you're the type of guy to make a girl smile
Boy you've got me tripping deep down inside, and all these
feelings for you that I have I can't hide
People say, don't get down with you, but I know how I feel for
you
Though I may deny it, I'm digging you and that's how I...

I want to get you, want to get
Let's go and get down and dirty
Baby play the game, play my way
But either way it's all the same baby


There aint no way, they can make me think I should go away
I've been around you baby everyday
And the song I sing, every word I mean cuz I cant stop something
(can't understand the end)
Baby don't stop your touch, I could never get enough
Sweetie feel me up, with your precious love cuz that's how I
want to get down


11.Superstar

Yeah superstar, whoa superstar

Rollin with my window dropped
Wind blowing, about 6 o clock
Then this feeling came over me, got to find myself a pretty
young thing
So I took a left on the next block, saw this shorty so I had to
stop
Girl was looking as fine as could be yeah
I said do you want to ride with me

Your car is looking real smooth, and you looking kind of cute
too
But boy I don't even know you, where the hell you think we going
to?
Girlfriend had a little spark, so I parked the car and just
walked
I don't mean no disrespect love, I'm just trying to see what
you're made of

Superstar, face from a movie screen
Superstar, like the cover of a magazine
No matter what you do, you'll always be my superstar
Superstar, I'm your number one fan by far. Superstar

Baby boy is into me now, it's time you let me break it down
I just reminisced on how we met, and this is something I would
never forget
From the moment your lips said hi, it's like I pictured your
name in lights
I bought tickets to all your shows, and I'm going to be there
sitting in the front row


Mon Cheri don't you worry about a thing, I know you're feeling
sexy
I want you to know, you'll always be my superstar


12.Never

You're telling me were cool but that just aint enough
'Cause everything that you do makes me want you more
Feeling that I have for you cant be replace easily
But you seem to think that you have the best of me

My love is closed for you
Let nobody enter
Even when I'm with someone aint the same when I'm with ya
Please tell me that you're listening
Please tell me that you're hearing me
'Cause I'm gonna be here always

Even if you give me all your love
Even if you give me all your kisses


Give me all your love never too much

I know that baby if it's meant we'll be
But everytime I see you boy ooh what you do to me
Make my body shiver lips quiver when I say your name
Loving you is like an emotional ride
Dare to stay?

My love is closed for you
Let nobody enter
Even when I'm with someone aint the same when I'm with ya
Please tell me that you're listening
Please tell me that you're hearing me
'Cause I'm gonna be here always


Give me all your love never be too much

I don't give a f*ck about the money in the bank you got
Love you the same even if buying me trinkets stop
Got my heart in your hands and I think you know
Can't put a price on my love and the way you grow
I think I melt inside when you look in my eyes
Baby all I see in you f*ck them n*ggas who try
Don't ever worry bout my loyalty
Try the others and I'm cool cause you treat me like I'm royalty
Been through the bullsh*t
Been through the games
Been through the telephone arguments
With nothing a** dames
On 'em crazy days you help me maintain
Sometimes I think your love be keeping me same
Never worry daddy I aint never going nowhere
Whatever happens best believe I'll be staying right here
I need your kisses and i need your touch
Don't ever think I had it all cause its never too much

Give me all your love, never be too much, give me all your love

Even if you give me all your love
Even if you give me all your kisses

Don't matter if you're rich or poor baby
I never wanted anybody more baby
