Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...
One love

I wanna be with you
Gotta be with you
Need to be with you
oh oh oh oh
I wanna be with you
Gotta be with you
Need to be with you
oh oh oh oh
oooo (oh oh oh)ooo
1st Verse:

Chemistry was crazy
From the get go
Neither one of us
Knew why
We didn't build
Nothin' over night
Cause a love like this
Takes some time
People swore it off
As a phase
Said
"We can't see that"
Now from top to bottom
They see
That we did that
(Yes)
It's so true that
(Yes)
We've been
Through it
(Yes)
We got real sh..
(Yes)
See, baby we've been

Chorus:

Too strong
For too long
And I can't
Be without
You baby
And I'll
Be waitin' up
Until you get home
Cause I can't sleep
Without you baby

Anybody whose
Ever loved you
Know just what
I feel
Too hard to fake it
Nothin' can replace it
Call the radio
If you just can't
Be without
Your baby

2nd Verse:

I got a question
For ya
See, I already
Know the answer
But still I wanna
Ask you
Would you lie?
(No)
Make me cry?
(No)
Do somethin'
Behind my back
And then try to
Cover it up?

Well, neither will I
Baby, my love
Is only ever love
(Yes)
I'll be faithful
(Yes)
I'm for real
(Yes)
And with us
You'll always
Know the deal
We've been

Chorus:

Too strong
For too long
And I can't
Be without
You baby
And I'll
Be waitin' up
Until you get home
Cause I can't sleep
Without you baby

Anybody whose
Ever loved you
Know just what
I feel
Too hard to fake it
Nothin' can replace it
Call the radio
If you just can't
Be without
Your baby

Bridge:

See, this is real talk
I'ma
Always stay
(No matter what)
Good or bad
(Thick and thin)
Right or wrong
(All day everyday)

Now, if you're down
On love
Or don't believe
This aint for you
(No this aint for you)
And if you got it
Deep in your heart
And deep down
You know
That it's true
(Come on, come on, come on)

Well,let me see you
Put your hands up
(Hands up)
Fellas tell your ladies
She's the one
(Fellas tell your
ladies she's the one)
Oh put your hands up
(Hands up)
Ladies, let him know
He's got your love
Look him
Right in his eyes
And tell him

Chorus 1x

Vamp:

I wanna be with you
Gotta be with you
Need to be with you

[Intro: Ja Rule]
Huh yeah, Rule baby
Huh Mary J. Blige, Murder Inc. Smile

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
It's just those rainy days
Spent a lifetime tryin' to wash away
�Til the sun comes out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me

[Ja Rule]
On all those rainy days
Spend ya lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]
We're always livin' so crazy and sexy and cool
And we begin to love it (begin love it)
Watchin' all the heartache and pain of the world
And think nothing of it (thinkin' nothing of it)
Now baby I got love for you
And I know that you got me baby (got me baby)
But everytime the sun shines bright it gets so cloudy

[Chorus w/ ad libs]

[Interlude]
M: Cuz nobody loves the rain
J: Can't stand it
It always seem to fall
M: Baby handle it
Baby didn't we tell you before about chasin' those waterfalls
B: Yeah
M: Nobody loves the rain
J: Can't stand it
It always seems to fall
M: Baby handle it
Baby didn't we tell you before about chasin' those waterfalls
B: Yeah

[Verse 2: Ja Rule]
Mary baby, sometimes the Rule don't mind the rain
It kinda feels like I'm drownin' in the Lord's pain
Until the sun comes out and shines again, smile
Gimme reason to keep believin' that everything ain't misleadin
I kiss the clouds on the rainy days
And smile for you when the skies are gray
Baby cuz I'ma teardrop away from cryin'
And a few shots away from dyin'
Dear Lord would you shower my pain
Let it rain, let it rain on me
While I cherish the air I breathe
I'm an angel- that can't soar, can't fly
And I imagine the Lord knows why

[Chorus w/ ad libs]

[Verse 3: Mary J. Blige]
I feel like an angel mend my broken wings
So I can soar again, Lord let me in
And through all the passion and the pain and the hurt
I feel like I'm fallin' (yeah)
Makin' promises of love to those that spread love
And for those that can't take it, stand up
Baby we gon' make it and the words of Marvin Gaye
War is not the answer

[Interlude]

[Chorus w/ ad libs] [Outro: Mary J. Blige]
Smile smile smile smile smile sm-smile sm-smile
�Til the sun shines
Just smile for me
Just smile for me, just smile at me
Know in your heart that we are free
Free to believe whatever we feel
So feel something real baby, yeah

So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired

Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your frineds
Or else you will get burn
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine

No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again

What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game ( no more game messin with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tires of cryin everynight)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Uh, it feels so good
When you let go
Avoid the drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story begins
It's up to you to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (tired of your playin' game with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every night)
No more fears (no more waking me up in the morning)
No drama, no more in my life

No more drama, no more drama
No more drama, no more drama
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
No more drama in my life
So tired, tired of these drama

Don't drink too much because we have all night
Don't you rush because it's all night long

Repeat

[Ahkim]
Yeah, yeah, yo
Party time, pull the Linx out, get the minks out
Or come ghetto, but just dance to the music
Feel the vibe, I'll throw up your hands and loose it
You say you ball 'till you fall
Well it's your chance to prove it
You on hand 'till the sun up
And the pounds of smoke, bottles is empty
And I got them models in the Bentley
And six simply when I bounce in the club
Around thugs that smoke ounces of blunt
Cop cases of Cris', pop 'till they can't taste the shit
But hell, what's the major event
Real niggas, real broads, ill cars, hot rims
Sedan Coupes, SUV's, to the drop Benz
From the outside in, the party rock
We just started and we ain't tryin' to hardly stop
From the Bellvedere to the Bacardi shots
Just dance ma, cuz you know the bar hot

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

The problem is, for many years
I've lived my life, publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
I rarely trust

And every time I find someone I like
Gotta worry about if it's really me
That they see
And I thought you were the one, oh

1 - Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Mary

Repeat 1

I don't have a lot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me
Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who were good to me
Don't judge me or think I'm bitter
For the evil God's allowed me to see
I'm just Mary

2 - I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

Repeat 2 (3x)

Repeat 1 (4x)

It's the car I drive
The clothes I wear
The diamonds, the furs, and the house
Don't make the woman
So I need someone
To stand by me
And supply my needs
And I'm just plain old Mary
