One Thing lyrics - Alicia Keys

What, where am I?

What's life like on a train
Nobody there knows your name
As your decision changed
Do you wish that I came

I thought you'd pick me up from work
I waited for your truck for half hour
I know you said you gonna
But I never thought you'd leave

[Chorus:]
This one thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody

Square face and puppy eyes
Found out they never lied
Your old man lived in the sky
Left your house with a yard
But you went away a different try
Found a place that's your size
Too good to finish life here with me

I couldn't get you to say
Why you wouldn't let me come
What should be simple just ain't
And it shouldn't hurt like it does

[Chorus:]
This one thing is made for us
Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us
But I'll take one thing over everything
I'll take that thing over anybody

Baby, hold me, don't pick me up
I need a compliment
Just a touch from a friend
I need a gentle word
I need your company
I'll keep

[Chorus:]
One thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I take one thing over anything
I take that thing over anybody

I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody
Oh, oh, anything
Oh, oh, take one thing

101 lyrics - Alicia Keys

You used to the sound of a heart that's breaking
I know it don't faze you anymore
You're the king of the game that you're playing
I know you've played it a hundred times before

You fill your bedroom up with trophies
Then you get a kick out of closing the door
Got all the words to keep on hoping
I know you've said them a hundred times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Then there's me, just love me for fun
Then there's me, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

I might as well stand in front of a bullet
Close my eyes and kick the chair to the floor
It's like a speeding train is coming,
I know you've crashed it 100 times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Damn there's me, just love me for fun
Uh there's me, no, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

Everybody says I gotta be crazy
That I deserve everything that I get
But I got a feeling
That makes me wanna ignore all that you've done a 100 times before

Cause then there's me, could I be the one
And baby there's me, to make you undone
Uh darling there's me, no use, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101
Me, 101
So I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be a 101
Maybe it's time, maybe it's me
Maybe I could be, Maybe pretend
I gotta be, I wanna be 101,
Yeah baby

Girl On Fire lyrics - Alicia Keys

She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire...
This girl is on fire...
She's walking on fire...
This girl is on fire...

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Ohhhh oh oh oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire...
This girl is on fire...
She's walking on fire...
This girl is on fire...

Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire...
This girl is on fire...
She's walking on fire...
This girl is on fire...

Oh, oh, oh, oh ohhhhh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh ohhhh... [4x]

She's just a girl and she's on fire

Caged Bird lyrics - Alicia Keys

Right now, I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and reverie
They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile, I cry
They don't know what they're doing to me
Keeping me from flying
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
Spreading 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

How Come You Don't Call Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

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

I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
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' 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 a rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody said
Everybody said that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart

All I wanna know is 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 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

We Are Here lyrics - Alicia Keys

Let's talk about our part

Let's do more giving
Do more forgiving, yeah

28 Thousand Days lyrics - Alicia Keys

Blood in my eye, hand on my heart
Feet on the ground, head to the sky
Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no giving it up, no more wasting time

If you had 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

Back from hell with my angel wings
Ain't no fear in my voice
Cause I'm making a choice
The devil ain't no friend of me
And that clock on the wall is telling me
(That there's just...)

There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

A Place Of My Own lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yes
When it rains it pours, life can be so lonely
But the faith of the storm
Makes the way less heavy
This life can seem so unfair but who cares
If I can rise up then I will get there

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for a place to call my own
Looking for a house to make a home
Looking for a seat upon a throne
Looking for a place to call my own

Hey
Hey

The hardest place to go
Is where I've never gone before
It takes a brave, brave soul
But it makes you much stronger

Now I feel so alive and there's no more cry
I chose to rise up and there's no deny

[Chorus:]
That I finally found a place to call my own
I finally found a house to make a home
I finally took a seat upon a throne
And now I have a place to call my own

So many people they try to make you
Make you believe that
You're nothing without them, no
Don't you believe it
Not for a minute
You gotta show love
This is the way

[Chorus:]
Now I have a place to call my own
Now I have a house to make a home
Now I have a seat upon a throne
'Cause now I have a place to call my own

Hey...
Hey...
I didn't worry
About a thing

Hey
Hey
I'll never worry about a thing.
Come on.

Back To Life lyrics - Alicia Keys

[from "Queen of Katwe" soundtrack]

I'm just tryna hold onto to a dream
Out here lost and nothing's what it seems
I'm just tryna find where I belong
This must be the dark before the dawn
When the place that you were born is not where you belong
Tell me baby, what stops you from wearing a crown?
I wanna be somebody, be somebody
And I wanna go somewhere, go somewhere

Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, I been waiting for all of my life
Back to life, mmm...

Climb out from the bottom baby
No more looking back only straight up
Foot on the pedal baby, it's time to find what you're made of
Everybody wants to be adored
You don't have to settle for being enough

Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life

I'm not made to be locked up
If a bird don't fly, then what were wings made for?
Oh, I'm not meant to be locked up
And if I don't try, then what was I made for?

Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life

Better You, Better Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

[from "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" soundtrack]

I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me

I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along

I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe

You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Brand New Me Part 2 lyrics - Alicia Keys

She wakes up early in the morning just to do her hair y'all
Cause it's a new her
She just wanna live her life tryin' to find her freedom
Been looking for freedom
She may not see the light but she wants it, she wants it
As she stares herself in the mirror

(She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you

In my sleep I see her beggin', reaching from me
It took a long road to get here
It took a brave girl, brave girl for trying
She's just like you and me 'cause she wants it, she wants it
As she stares herself in the mirror

(She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you

Dreaming lyrics - Alicia Keys

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But my head is in the clouds
Love's so hard to find
But you know that it's on my mind
Lonely in a daze
I don't know how I got to this place
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But the feeling knocks me down
I feel so overwhelmed
I'm under your spell
Tryna keep coming, stay strong
But that don't last too long
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

In Common (Remix) lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kanye West & Travis Scott)

[Kanye West:]
Hello, you there?
Yeah, I'm here
You breaking up, I can barely hear you
Naw, you clear
You cool? you mad?
You talk? bad
You up? You been good?
Naw I been bad
What you mean, you been bad?
Baby girl you know I got bad nerves
Got me cursing with the kids in the car
"Mommy, daddy using bad words!"
No more tripping while you at work
No more texting while I'm at church
No more switching up the password
That's the shit that get your ass hurt

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

Said I'd be gone by five
But it's sunrise and I'm still in your bed
Goodnight usually means goodbye
Me replaying memories in my head
Look at you, look at you
Look what you made me do
How do you, how do you think know my every move
Who are you? Who are you? You look so familiar
I know you, I know you, baby, I know the truth

We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

[Kanye West:]
Folks all up in our business
Yeezy Season, I'm trending

And at the end of the night bae
We'll be back in bed like we famous

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
[Travis Scott:]

Drama, gotta silence
The violence, gotta link up
Black skin, the brown ones
Yeah, you can't check us, CNN
Get your baggage, this nigga BET
And everybody taking EBT
Ice cold, my jewelers, go up
Be careful what you wish and hope for
Made it from the hood to the road when the grind was dope
Made it from the hood to the road when the grind was dope

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common

It's On Again lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

[from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" soundtrack]

[Kendrick Lamar:]
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recording this! Won't you look in the sky?
Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
Walk through the valley and peaks, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that's more passion for me
I passed testimony just so the world can see
Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick 'em clean
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know, I know, it's mind control
I know, I could prosper, no imposter
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it what

[Alicia Keys:]
I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote
And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope
I'm trying to find my way back, there's no day off for heroes
And even when I'm tired, "go" is the only word I know

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah

I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah

The work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop
And everybody here trying to get on top
Everybody from the burbs down to the block
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go
Huh
So you think you're hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
How I go on, go on
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again

Power lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yeah, come on
Come on, hey
Let me tell you a little story

Grandma used to say nothing before it was time
Used to say that the world would be mine
So I should just have faith
She showed me all I need in this life is for free
Change is one thing that is guaranteed
So I should just keep pace

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy, Victory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I want the power
(Can you feel the power)

Strong will
Along the road met a girl named Doubt
Wrapped in my mind, couldn't get her out
No matter how I tried it, hey
And somewhere she introduced me to a friend named Fear
Thought I would never get the hell out of here
I had to say goodbye

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I got the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)

You wanna feel invincible?
If you wanna victorious
If you wanna feel this way
Let me hear you say

Power (power)
Say power (power)
Yeah, power (power)
Say power (power)

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

Somewhere In The City lyrics - Alicia Keys

Just the other day...
I was looking out the window
And I was thinking...
Somewhere in a city just like mine, uh

Somewhere in a city like mine
Sky is falling
Somewhere in a city like mine
Father's calling

Seas are rising
See yours crying
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
Help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Uh, yeah, come on
Say, say it one more time

Somewhere on an island like mine
World is shaking
Somewhere on an island like mine
Hearts are breaking

Seas are rising
Birds are diving
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
To help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

I know, I know, I know
It feels like some things will never change
Oh Lord
Come on, come on, come on
Don't get down
Just start to be the change
That you want in the world
So...

You gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Ooh
Everybody knows that love...
Ooh oh, uhuh

Speechless lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Eve)

[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
When I wake up in the morning babe
Can't believe my eyes
Sweetest little part of destiny
Oh yeah
Cause you are now in my life
There ain't no man or prize
Oh noo
Can compare to you
Ain't no words to describe the way that I'm feeling
When I look at you

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
I'm just speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
I'm speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
True love finally finds you babe
Life becomes a way
Previously unimaginable
Oh yeah
Listen I don't wanna say
It only happens once if even at all
Feel it deep in your soul
And like a fairytale your story begins yeah
What a sight to behold
Makes you...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Eve]
In the mornings when I rise up
Go to the window and I smile with my eyes up
Stare in the clouds like wow look at my luck
Everyday I'm feeling better cause I know I got the best I can be proud of
We can't fall quick
Remember when I used to tell my girls like yo this dude think he so it
Think he so fly
And a'time you try to talk to me I'm like yo don't even dare try
I was on my solo groove I ain't want nothing I ain't need nothing
Man I'm good
Now I'm speechless
Cause I fell for him
The poet in me died
Cause I fell for him

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I used to know all the words to say
I used to write all the poetry
But now you take my breath away

Sweet Music lyrics - Alicia Keys

One of these days
I'm gonna wake up
Skies gonna be blue
One of these days

To a sun shinning through
One of these days

Oh, one of these days
One of these days
I know, I know
Oh, one of these days
The world, the world is gonna be brand new

That Would Be Enough lyrics - Alicia Keys

(from "The Hamilton Mixtape")

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive
That would be enough

And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough

I don't pretend to know
The challenges you're facing
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind

But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So long as you come home at the end of the day
That would be enough

We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If I could grant you peace of mind
If you could let me inside your heart...

Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter:
Where you decide to stay

And I would be enough
And this could be enough
This would be enough

Said, I would be enough
And this could be enough
See, we could be enough
Oh baby

I could be enough
We could be enough
This could be enough
Oooh

Don't look no further
Don't go nowhere
I could be enough (I could be enough)
We could have it all

Tell me baby (baby)
Can you feel me? (ayy)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
And your family? (Me and your family?)
Listen, baby (Listen, baby)
We can have it all (We could have it all)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
Yeah
Woo

So look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Baby
Darling
Oooh

Typewriter lyrics - Alicia Keys

There we go ladies and gentlemen
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have lead for experience
I will let you into my laboratory filled with many things
Writing intentions, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know

Desperate am I to
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you're gone
Peaceful sleep I have none

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Well I know it won't last
I know that this will pass

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

I don't want to falsify
I want to make it right
Can't you see there's work to do
I'm trying to write to you

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Problem is, problem is
I'll give you space till you get over this

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

To torture a woman
Is to feed her loneliness
So please don't leave me lonely
Cause it's your mind that I miss

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

We Gotta Pray lyrics - Alicia Keys

Come on, aha
You know

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save
Somebody save somebody tonight

Fire in the air
What the hell going on
Sirens everywhere
Singing that street song
Violence everywhere
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
Another day
Pray for another try

Smoke is in the sky
What the hell going on
Bullets gonna fly
Ah, right from the gun
Trying not to cry
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Zebras And Airplanes lyrics - Alicia Keys

Have you ever wanna fly?
Have you ever wanna run away?
Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away
Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue
In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?
If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand
Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion
Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin

And come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

What do zebras and airplanes mean?
They say zebras running free through the night
Airplanes fly high through the sky
And that can be you and I

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

"The Element Of Freedom" (2009)



Element Of Freedom (Intro) lyrics - alicia keys

And the day came
When the risk it took
To remain tight and closed in the bud
Was more painful
Than the risk it took bloom

This is the element of freedom

Love Is Blind lyrics - alicia keys

Well people don't see what I see
Even when them right there
Standing next to me
And all of my friends think I'm crazy for loving you
But they don't know
There's nothing else I can do

And it's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad It's too bad)
Oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Bad)
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad it don't matter Baby)
Eh eh eh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Sad)
Oh oh oh oh oh

See people don't know what I know
They say I'm losing my mind
I know I'm losing control
Eh eh eh ehhh
All of my friends think I'm crazy but I don't care
I'm over the edge, no turning back
Belong to you I swear
Ay!

It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad It's too bad)
Oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Bad)
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad it don't matter Baby)
Eh eh eh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Sad)
Oh oh oh oh oh

Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh [x4]

And it's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad It's too bad)
Oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Bad)
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad it don't matter Baby)
Eh eh eh
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
(It's too bad So Sad)
Oh oh oh oh oh

It's too bad 'cause love is blind

Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh [x4]

Doesn't Mean Anything lyrics - alicia keys

Used to dream of being a millionaire without a care
But if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there
Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darling
Rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat
Cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
Cause it's over when you say goodbye

All at once, I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise
Being alone would make you realize
When it's over, all in love is fair
I should've been there, I should been there, I should've should've

All at once, I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

I know I push you away
What can I do that will save our love?
Take these material things
They don't mean nothing
It's you that I want

All at once, I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone
(I should've been there, I should been there, I should've should've)

All at once, I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart lyrics - alicia keys

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Need me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me

And all the time you were tellin' me lies

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed

Lonely, own me nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Neeed me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end OOh

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's bout to fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
I'll just hold on to love

And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Wait Til You See My Smile lyrics - alicia keys

When the wind is blowing in your face
Sometimes in life you don't see straight
Pray to Him and He will show
When your head is in a certain place
Nobody around to make you safe
Stand strong and you will grow

[Chorus:]
Oh
Wait till you see my smile
Oh
Wait till they see your smile

Don't they love to see you down
Kick you while you are in the ground
Don't let emotions show
People always speculate
Don't let it get in your way
They say things they don't know

[Chorus]

So you're doing better now
Everybody comes around
But you don't really need 'em
'cause you're stronger and you're better
And you're ready for whatever

[Chorus x2]

That's How Strong My Love Is lyrics - alicia keys

Some people they call me crazy
For falling in love with you
They can take me and lock me away baby
'cause there's nothing those bars can do

I'll be the rising moon after setting sun
Just to let you know you'll always have someone
I'll be the clearest day when the rain is done
So you'll always know

Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is

I used to feel kinda lonely
Cause the world it can be so fake
All that matters I'm telling you
Is you and me only
And the fortress from love we'd make

I'll be the water you need in the desert land
Just to let you know you'll always have my hand
I'll be the woman you need to be a better man
So you'll always know

Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is

Oh, can't nothing break us down
Oh, 'cause we are heaven bound
Like the mountain standing tall...
Immovable; we're here to stay
Oh, can't nothing get in the way

Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall (I will never fall)
That's how strong my love is (that's how strong my love is)
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all (we can risk it all)
That's how strong my love is (that love is)

Through the deepest waters
I won't let you drown (I won't let you drown Ohh!)
That's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my love, my love, my love)
Cause we're the moon in the sky
That will never come down (never come down)
That's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my love is)
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is

Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) lyrics - alicia keys

[Verse 1:]
Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
([Drake:] You should say it right now)

You ready?

[Bridge:]
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
([Drake:] I deserve it, I think it deserve it..Let it go)
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
([Drake:] I can't take it)

[Chorus - Alicia & Drake:]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready, I'm ready)

[Verse 2:]
I know you once said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
If we gon' do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
([Drake:] We should do it right now)

Bay, uh

[Bridge:]
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
([Drake:] I deserve it, I know I deserve it. Let it go)
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It's what we make it
([Drake:] It's what we make it)

[Chorus - Alicia & Drake:]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready)

Yeah, sing...

[Hook:]
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me

[Chorus - Alicia & Drake:]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
([Echo:] I'm ready, I'm ready)

Love Is My Disease lyrics - alicia keys

When you're gone it feels like,
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?

(yeah)

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Am I addicted
When I need you here all the time?
And I'm not sure if this is healthy
Is it a sickness?
'cuz I feel like I'm losing my mind

And I know that there's no medicine
Nothing I can take, no remedy
Baby please stay

(ohohoohh)
When you're gone it feels like,
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?

Oh oh oh baby, baby, baby
I get a fever
Just the thought of you leaving my side
Ohohhhh
And I'm not the same 'til you're back holding me
That's all I need

(oh yeah)
When you're gone it feels like (when you're gone baby)
My whole worlds gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now its my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you

Woah woah
Here's what I'm going through when your gone
Some serious symptoms of withdrawal
(ohohoh)
So sick of turning in my bed
Waking up drenched in a cold sweat
(ohohoh)
Lying here lonely for you
What am I supposed to do
When I'm stuck and I cant get enough of your lovvvee

Ohohoh woahhh Baby

When you're gone it feels like (when your gone baby)
My whole world's gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?

Like The Sea lyrics - alicia keys

[Chorus:]
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

Well it's cold
Cold under water
In the night time
But I dove
Dove to the bottom
To see what I'd find

That's when I saw a light
A glowing paradise
Thought I'd stay a while
It's been calling me underwater, child
Everything that I ever dreamed

Taking my breath away
Currents got hold of me
Sweeping me away
Wish that I could stay
Takes me to the top
It's the cycle that never stops

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

(takes you takes you over)
(takes you takes you under)
(takes you takes you over)
Over!
(takes you takes you under)

Say:

I've been told
Told you only find it once in a lifetime
So you better hold
Hold on stronger then ever
Like it's the last time

So when you see the light
Like a ship in the night
You have found the place
You been looking for
Like a distant shore
Don't you ever look back again

Here's something you should know (know)
The sea is still in control ([spoken:] that's right)
Cherish everyday
Cause you never know
It can take away
The very thing that you love the most (love the most)

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you (takes you, takes you over)
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees (leaves you on your knees)
First you're floating high
Then takes you takes you (takes you, takes you under)
Under under

(takes you takes you over) oh
(takes you takes you under)
(takes you takes you over) so far
(takes you takes you under)
Listen, love is like the sea yeah

(takes you takes you over)
(takes you takes you under) can you feel the pull?
(takes you takes you over) it's calling you
(takes you takes you under)

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Then it pulls you in
(if you ever felt this way before)
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, (then you know)
Over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floating high
(oh get down on your knees)
Then it takes you takes you
Under under
(take me away)

This Bed lyrics - alicia keys

Here I am
And I been thinking about you lately
Hold my hand
'Cause I been missing you like crazy

[Bridge]
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it, oh (Do it Right)
Do it Right
Come and hold me tight, we don't need to fight
Rather spend my life with you, every night
Cause baby..

[Chorus]
This bed
Is too lonely without you (Baby)
Don't wanna hold my pillow, I wanna hold you
Please be beside me
These king size sheets
Need more than just a queen
In between 'em
This bed
Is too lonely without you

So why don't we
Go inside where we can be together?
You mean more than anything
Stay with me
Wanna be with you forever

[Bridge]
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it, oh (Do it Right)
Do it Right
Come and hold me tight, we don't need to fight
Rather spend my life with you, every night
Ooh baby..

[Chorus]
This bed
Is too lonely without you (Baby, baby bay)
Don't wanna hold my pillow, I wanna hold you
(I wanna hold you, hold you,)
Please be beside me
These king size sheets
Need more than just a queen
In between 'em (Yeah)
This bed
Is too lonely without you (Too lonely)

[Talking]
You know when it starts to get late
And it's time to go to sleep, I
I don't know what to do
Cause I don't wanna hold my pillow
I wanna hold you

[Bridge]
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it, oh (Do it Right)
Do me Right
Come and hold me tight, we don't need to fight
Rather spend my life with you, every night
Oh baby..

[Chorus]
This bed
Is too lonely without you (Baby..baby)
Don't wanna hold my pillow,
I wanna hold you (I wanna hold ya, hold ya)
Please be beside me
These king size sheets
Need more than just a queen
In between 'em (Yeah)
This bed
Is too lonely without you (Too lonely)

Distance And Time lyrics - alicia keys

You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?

I know I never let you down
I will never go away

I really wish that you'd stay but what can we do
All the days that you've been gone I dreamed about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Through distance and time
I'll be waiting

And if you have to walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time, I'll be waiting

Distance and time, I'll be waiting
Will you take a train, to meet me where I am
Are you on your way?
I will never do anything to hurt you
I'll never live without you

I really wish that you would stay but what can we do
All the days that you've been gone I dreamed about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Distance and time,I'll be waiting
And if you have to walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time
I'll be waiting

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Distance and time, I'll be waiting
And you can walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see you smile
Through distance and time, I'll be waiting

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
Through distance and time
I'll be waiting

You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?

How It Feels To Fly lyrics - alicia keys

Have you ever felt so strong
That it made you feel weak
Long days
Long nights
And you just can't sleep

Have you ever been so sure
That it gave you cold feet
That felt all bare
You can feel your heart beat

Well I never knew this feeling never
Now I hope it stays and last forever
I am riding high
I don't want to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And If I can touch the sky
I'd risk to fall just to know how it feels to fly

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah

Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know until you were found
Looking everywhere
What you finally see know

In the room full of people
Feels like no one's around
Got your head in the clouds
And your feet are off the ground

Say I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and last forever
I am ridin high
I don't want to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And If I can touch the sky
I'd risk to fall just to know how it feels to fly

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We get to go

(Higher)
Higher
Higher)
Higher
Higher

[x2]
I am ridin high
I don't want to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And If I can touch the sky
I'd risk to fall just to know how it feels to fly

(Yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah [x3]

Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down lyrics - alicia keys

Ooooh, New York!
Ooooh, New York!

Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby I'm from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yooork!

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge

I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby I'm from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yooork!

One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

In New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yooork!

Through It All lyrics - alicia keys

In the morning when you wake
Might not wanna face today and all your heartache
Thinking how much can you take
Please don't ever loose the faith and don't fall under

In a world that seems to get colder & colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger & stronger

[Chorus]
Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all
Through it all

Don't think about the past, don't worry bout the future
Just live in the moment
Long as there's another day there will be another way
A chance to make it through

In a world that seems to get colder & colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger & stronger

[Chorus]
Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all

When you're down and out
Losing dignity
Don't let go of me (hold on)
Surely this is a brighter day right in front of me (hold on)
If you really looked inside
You would finally realize
You don't have to cry (no more)
All you have to do is see
That you can believe in me
And I will never leave

Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all

Pray For Forgiveness lyrics - alicia keys

Beautiful garden, where have you gone?
My self delusions are leaving me in the storm
Taking for granted, all the goodness that I've found
Somewhere I lost all, the control came crashing down.

And I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answers
Cause its hard
For me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Can't you see
This state that I'm in
No one would notice
Nobody noticed
Cause it's me where it began

Beautiful morning, please don't wake me from my sleep
Cause I need some comfort, to regain my sanity
I don't want to feel this crazy,
I don't want to feel this guarded
Shattered in a million pieces
I'm so broken hearted
No where left to run
No where left to go
So I hope

I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answers
Cause its hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Cant you see
This state that I'm in?
And no one would notice
Nobody noticed
That it's me, where it began
And I pray for forgiveness within

I swear that everyday I feel like my mind is haunting me
I think of every little stupid mistake that has been made
This time I don't have the strength to gather myself
I'm falling to pieces

And I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answer
Cause its hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Cant you see
This state that I'm in
Pray for forgiveness
Looking for justice
Searching for answers
Call to my mother
Pray for forgiveness
Breaking the silence

Nobody knows it, nobody noticed
That it's me
Where it began

Stolen Moments lyrics - alicia keys

Remembering the days when our love began
Thinkin' of a million ways to escape and be with you
But reality wasn't just you and I
It was long drawn out days and lonely nights

Dreamin' 'bout you
I keep dreamin' bout you
When I'm dreamin' 'bout when you would say

Let me take you to another place
When nothing ever seems to matter
It's just you and me
We can take flight like a thief in the night
Stolen moments with you, ooh

But destiny didn't have such a simple plan
I was just a girl and you a young man
How could age define something so divine
Can this even be real or just exist in my mind

Dreamin' 'bout you
I keep dreamin' bout you
When I'm dreamin' 'bout when you would say

Let me take you to another place
When nothing ever seems to matter
It's just you and me
We can take flight like a thief in the night
Stolen moments with you, ooh

Dreamin' 'bout you
I keep dreamin' 'bout you
When I'm dreamin' and praying for the day

When no one and nothing else takes up our time
Finally you're only mine

Each and everyday I'd walk with you right by my side
But instead we have to hide, sneak around and lie
Just to spend time alone
If lovin' is a crime, I'd rather do the time
And leave the world behind

Let me take you to another place
When nothing ever seems to matter
It's just you and me
We can take flight like a thief in the night
Stolen moments with you, ooh

Let's get away, let's get away, oh
We can get away, we can get away, oh
Let's get away, let's get away, oh, oh
We can get away, we can get away, oh

Heaven's Door lyrics - alicia keys

Came across a picture of us today
Reminded me of how we used to play
And all of my kiss blew in the wind
Felt like those days would never end

Now the hardest thing to learn
You were never really gone away
I'll see you again
I'll see you again some day

When I climb the stairs
And I meet you there
'Cus love don't go nowhere
And you will see me
March up each step
Till I reach
Heaven's door

Can't wait to see your face
Save me a place
Your love can't be replaced
And you will see me
March up each step
Till I reach
Heaven's door
Heaven's door

Feel your warm hands against my face
Show me how you love me almost every day
Never to tired to fix up a meal
Never to tired just to make me feel better
These memories will live with me forever

Now the hardest thing to learn
You were never really gone away
I'll see you again
I'll see you again some day

When I climb the stairs
And I meet you there
'Cus love don't go nowhere
And you will see me
March up each step
Till I reach
Heaven's door

Can't wait to see your face
Save me a place
Your love will never be replaced
And you will see me
March up each step
Till I reach
Heaven's door

Say woah ooh
Woah ooh
Everybody say woah ooh
Woah ooh
Heaven's door

Say woah ooh
Woah ooh
Everybody say woah ooh
Woah ooh
Heaven's door

Lover Man lyrics - alicia keys

First scene opened with the
Vision of a woman in a chair
Up in a bedroom
What she doing there
She is thinkin of a man
And the man just could be you
Write him in a script on a
Business trip out of town far
But he wishes he was near
Does she really want him gotta
Have him burning desire all she
Wanna say is listen my dear...

Gotta tell ya,
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man
Don't you worry about it baby I don't need no other man
We could be the dream that we always dreamed darling
Let's turn up the heat until the water boils over
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man

Second scene it opens with
A woman at the desk of a
Job looking at a timepiece
(Oh yeah)
Cause there is a fight coming
In the night carrying the man
That she's dying to see
(Oh yeah)
He's gettin attacked in the
Second act by a lady
That's been missin him bad
She's all in the scene gotta
Have him really need him he's
The kind of lover she never had

Gotta tell him,
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man
Don't you worry about it baby I don't need no other man
We could be the dream that we always dreamed darling
Let's turn up the heat until the water boils over
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man

But nothing worth the wait ever is
And all our dreams can be ours

Go Ahead lyrics - alicia keys

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh [4x]

[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
The weight of what is real
Know all I need to know
But see you got to go
What have you've 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]
Used to believe in every word you said
Clouds my head
Leaving me here to drown
Hopes and dreams left for dead
You point your finger
Trying to justify your mistakes
A change 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 better
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
made 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]

Superwoman lyrics - alicia keys

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
state of 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, Oh

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

No One lyrics - alicia keys

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

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

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

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

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know 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 there ain't no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Like You'll Never See Me Again lyrics - alicia keys

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 Oh

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)

Oh oh oh oh oh

Lesson Learned (feat. John Mayer) lyrics - alicia keys

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

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call 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't take it anymore

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

Wreckless Love lyrics - alicia keys

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

The Thing About Love lyrics - alicia keys

Love
Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are

Oh love
It will forsake you
Threaten to break you
Take what you got

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby
But give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Friends
Sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you
You cant give enough

Then life
It will embrace you
Totally amaze you
So you don't give up

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby

But give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Don't tell me that I'm not the only that's going through it all
Oh sometimes I feel like I'm the only that's going through it all
But its time
Oh its time
For me to shine
Hey
Its my time
Oh its time
For me to shine

Its my time
Said its my time
For me to shine
Its my time
Its bout time
For me to shine

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt u baby
But give it a little try
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about
That's the thing about love

Teenage Love Affair lyrics - alicia keys

Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
'cause I wanna holla?
Daydreaming about you all day
In school can't concentrate
Want have your voice in my ear
'Til ma comes and says it's too late

[Chorus:]
'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 stair case
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want you to be my first, my last, my ending and beginning
I wrote your name in my book
You last name my first
I'm your Mrs.

[Chorus]

Hey boy
You know I really like being with you right?
Just hanging out with you is fun

So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too
Third base
Better pump the breaks
Well baby slow down
I gotta go home now

[Chorus]

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
