Ladies Love Lyrics: Jill Scott

Jill Scott is B-A-C-K!!!! Her new cd "Woman" is everything I wanted and all the things I didn't even know I needed. She is singing her face off the entire cd. I love every song. Just had to share some of these dope songs and great lyrics with you. Get into it below and enjoy!!

"Prepared"

"I been reading my own journals

Checking to see where my head has been

And I been apologizing to some people 

Some bridges I needed to mend

And I been eating mor4e greens

Getting my body alkiline 

I'm gonna be super fine 

And I been letting

Been letting some old ideas go

I'm making room for my life to grow 

I just wanna be prepared

I just wanna be, just wanna be prepared

Getting myself prepared..."

"Cruisin"

"In my past I made mistakes because I was drunk on love
Too quick to trust 

Jumped in too easy

Yet we feel like we could be an us but my fear is strong though

I’ve seen no wrong

I hope I’m not dreaming

I can’t see myself waking in the morning with someone else but I can’t tell if it’s love. 

I need to know 

So I’m cruisin’ on the evening breeze to clear my mind take my time so I can breathe

Cruisin’ on the evening breeze to clear my mind take my time so I can breathe"

Ladies Love Lyrics: The New Edition

This edition of LLL is all about new music. There has been so much great music released lately. I have been stuck on a few projects. I have to share them with you guys! Thank me later.

Tyrese released his supposed last solo cd. That makes me sad because "Black Rose" is amazing!!!I cannot even pick a favorite. Today, it is "Addict." Tyrese says this is real r&b and "leave it in"music. I totally agree. BR is a great follow up to TGT's "3 Kings." "Addict" made it's way to my #WafflesAndSexPlaylist on Spotify. You guys should totally check that out. Get into the awesomeness that is "Black Rose."

Hopin' that you call, going through withdrawal
When you stop dealing with me girl, it's like the sky falls
Ain't no use in going to rehab as I keep going back to what she had

Just one more hit baby
Gives me that feeling one more time

I'm a addict, I'm a addict
Every piece of your body I gotta have it
I'm strung out, so far gone

Stacy Barthe finally dropped her debut cd "BEcoming" last week. I've been patiently as well as impatiently waiting for it. Her mixtapes have been everything to me. I LOVE this project. Every single song does it for me.  The song that sticks out the most for me has to be "Me Versus ME." This song is so damn deep. There isn't a youtube video of just this song. However, the whole project is on youtube. "Me Versus ME" starts @ about the 16:06 mark. Give it a listen and feel the lyrics. 

"I don't know about most things
But I know a few things
About being broken
I've cried too
And for so long I didn't know the root of my pain
Lied inside of me, right inside of me
I got good old memories good old times
But that was then and this is now
I got bad old memories bad old times
But that was then and this is now
This is me now and that was me then
Don't hold me accountable this is me now
That was me then this is me now
Before I knew me that was me then
This is me now."

Miguel released new music as well. The project is called "Wildheart." It is pure sex on wax. I fell in love with "The Valley" as soon as the beat dropped and before I even knew what the subject matter was. I had to add this to the #WafflesAndSexPlaylist before the song ended. Great song. Great project. Miguel's voice sounds amazing on here. Get into it.

"I wanna fuck like we're filming in the valley
I wanna push and shove and paint your hills and valley
I got a red idea to expedite the ride
Pu it over, pull em to the side
I'm talking, lips, taste, clit, sit
Like we're filming in the valley, in the valley (lips, tits, clit, sit)
In the valley, in the valley, (lips, tits, clit, sit)

I'm your heaven, I'm your hell, I'm your healer baby
Pour your sins on me baby, let us pray"

The Internet released new music as well. "Ego Death" is the perfect follow-up since 2013's "Feel Good." This project mellows me out. I press play and vibe out. "For The World" features James Fauntleroy and it's my favorite on the cd. Great song. Listen to it and vibe with out. 

"Cigarettes and sex are on your breath again
It's cool, I'm the same, the way we kiss
Girl you’re special, I wanna protect you and I’ll kill so you could live
But when the first body went down, you wouldn't tell me that I know it again
I'd rather lay it down and get back cuz killin' is a sin
We're chillin' instead, give me a kiss
Girl
If not for me, for the world."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Currently

I am back on my music kick. For a while, music and specifically lyrics were too much for me. There is a saying that when you're happy, you enjoy the music. But, when you're sad, you understand the lyrics.That has been beyond true with me lately. But, I've decided to reclaim music because it's my thing. I can't let a person or a situation take that away from me. So, no more avoiding certain songs or cringing when I hear them. Now, I just enjoy what I enjoy. Here are a few of my current faves. As always, the lyrics are what made me a fan. Get into all of them!

"This is not an excuse
I'm just telling the truth
Baby, I'm so sorry
For hurting you

Oh, I'm ashamed of me (Shame on me)
Wish I never done you wrong (Shame on me)
Every night of us I dream
That I wake up in your arms

I know why you left me
But since you've been gone
My understanding
Has moved and grown
I've come to this conclusion
Over and over again
I don't want an enemy
I just want back my friend."

"Oh, silly me my dear, for thinking that you'd stay
Gave you my heart and then you ran away
Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish, or you're playing me
But it seems we were never really meant to be

So I thought I would try something new
I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you
And it turned out I wasn't living at all
I'd rather never known if you had just played along

I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true
Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you
You had me chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold."

"Just let it burn
Let it, let it burn
Call me crazy but I think I found the love of my life

Feel it creepin' in your heart
Ooh baby can you feel it tearing you apart?
That's right that's love
When it comes, you never wanna give it up
And baby, I'm caught in the light and I ain't gonna fight it
There's no use in tryin', I'm yours
And I want you to want me the way that I would you and more."

"Head on your chest babe, but your heart is so quietWe use to talk all night long, now we laying in silenceYour arms around me but your soul is somewhere elseGone so long and I know you so wellI know that you are everything that I ever dreamed ofAnd I hoped that love had a happy endingBaby you should be here, right hereBaby you should be here, right hereDon't know where you went but you're lost nowDon't know where you went but you're gone now."

 

"Last night you didn't call,Had me worried all night longWhy you keep doing me wrong?I don't know, babe!And it hurts so badI'm tired of being sad,This house is not a homeThe love is gone, baby!I just can't see it, I can't see, baby!Staying in this with you, you, you, you!If you love me, set me free!"

"The first time you shot me down I was grazed
Second round was never found, it ricocheted
Nowhere to run, I was stunned in a daze
A victim of a love I can't escape

I remember when you said you loved me
Three little words that burned into my soul
Maybe you didn't mean those things you told meMaybe you didn't really mean those words at all"

"So you say you wanna get away 

We don't need a plane

We'll be your escape

Take you to a place

Where there is no time, no space

I could be your private island

On a different planet

Anything could happen

Listen to the waves

Let them wash away your pain

I could be your fantasy

I could be your fantasy

Underneath the palm trees

You could leave your worries

Listen to the waves

Sure you wanna get so high?

Breath me in like air tonight." 

Ladies Love Lyrics: Anita Baker's "Talk To Me"

Anita Baker's voice & music are both timeless. She is perfection and classic. I love her. This morning while my AB Spotify radio channel played, this song came on and caught my attention. I've always liked it. But, it resonated today because of a current situation in my life. I'm not a big fan of people who shut down emotionally. It disturbs my spirit on so many levels. I cannot be there for you if you do not "Talk To Me." It;s that simple. I am frustrated but Anita worked it out for me. I've done my part, done the work. That's all I can do. And, now, I'm going to listen to Anita and vibe for a little while longer. Get into these classic lyrics below and song above. Enjoy!! 

"Ooh, baby, baby, baby

You stand all alone on your own
Please come inside from the storm
Stand where it's warm, I can see you're in need
Baby, please talk to me now

Swear nothin' is wrong, you're so strong
Baby don't hold this inside
Relax your pride let it go, set it free
My baby, talk to me now

What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through, darlin'?
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through?
I can help you if you let me baby, yes I can

I understand, here's my hand
Why stand alone in the dark open up your heart
Let this go, set it free
Now my baby, talk to me now..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Erykah Badu "Green Eyes"

It's ten minutes long and could never be a single. But, Erykah Badu's "Green Eyes" is essentially three songs wrapped in one. The beat changes three times. The lyrics are intoxicating. This has been one of my favorite by Badu since "Mama's Gun" dropped. I was reminded of its brilliance when it played on my Spotify radio a few minutes ago. Great song that everyone can relate to. I love that it is so dope that you never realize that it is ten minutes long. Great piece by Badu. PErfect choice for my "Ladies Love Lyrics" posts. Get into the lyrics and video below. 

"My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I don't care, I swear

I'm too thru with you I am

You don't mean nothing to me

So go ahead and be with your friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I'm insecure

But I can't help it

My mind says move on

My heart lags behind

But I don't love you any more

I'm so insecure

Never knew that love did this

Ooh, ooh

I can't remember the last time I felt this way

About somebody

You've done something to my mind

And I can't control it

But I don't love you any more

Yes I do, I think

Loving you is wrong baby

Ooh, ooh

La-di-da

Dum-dee-da-da

Dum-didi-da-da-da

Dum-didi-da-dum-di

I'm so confused

You tried to trick me yeah

Ooh, ooh, oh

Never knew that love could hurt like this

Never thought I would but I got dissed

Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside

Feel embarrased so I want to hide

Silly me I thought your love was true

Change my name to Silly E. Badu

Before I heal, it's gonna be a while

I know it's gonna be a while, chile

I hope it's not too late

Too late, too late, too late

Feeling insecure

Your love has got me sore

I don't want no more

Oh, oh

It's too late, oh, oh ooh, ooh

I'm sorry I love you

At first it was cool

You told me you loved me too, ooh

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

You wanted me to go away

But I can't go

See I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

Just make love to me

Just one more time and then you'll see

I can't believe I made a desparate plea

Believe me yeah, ye-ah, no, oh

You see I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

Don't you know, I can't leave, it's too late

Can't go no where, no

It's too late

It's too late

It's too late

It's too late yeah

Come on babe

Don't you want to be strong with me

You told me we could have a family

Want to run to me when you're down and low

But times get tough and there you go

Out the door, you wanna run again

Open your arms and you'll come back in

Wanna run cause you say your afraid, afraid

Never knew what a friendship was

Never knew how to really love

You can't be what I need you to

And I don't know why I fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same

But I can't stand the growing pains."

Ladies Love Lyrics: K. Michelle's "Hard To Do"

K. Michelle released her sophomore cd "Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart" this week. I am no fan of hers, mainly because of her horrible attitude on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta." But, I cannot deny, the woman can sing. I gave AWBAH a listen because I love "Maybe I Should Call." I enjoyed the whole project. But, I instantly connected to "Hard To Do." It's my favorite song on the cd. The song sample's Total's "Kissing You" which was one of my favorite songs growing up. The hook and chorus are the parts that cemented it for me. This one has already gotten a lot of play in my house. Get into this song and these lyrics.  

"Cause what you gon do
When I put that pretty thing on you?
I usually don't do this,
But I'll do it for you.

[Chorus:]
Oh, baby cause...
Missing you is way too hard to do.
I'd rather be fucking you.
Do you mind if I give you love?
Cause I just wanna give you love.
Won't you tell me if I'm doing too much?
Missing you is way too hard to do.

Lately I've been in my feelings.
Dealing with the daily thoughts of missing you.
I ain't dialing but my body's calling for ya,
breaking down.
Gotta give it to you..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Tamar Braxton/Future "Let Me Know"

This song had been stuck in my head for the last two days. I love it. It's Tamar Braxton's first single off of her upcoming second cd. The song is "Let Me Know" featuring Future. Something about it always draws me back to it. The beat is dope and I like the lyrics. Get into the video above and the lyrics below. 

"Do you feel it in your heart?
Do you feel, do you feel it?
Do you feel it? Like I feel
Do you feel it in your soul?
Do you feel, do you feel it?
Do you feel it? Like I feel
When you know when it's right
Do you feel it?
You don't let go
Do you feel it? Do you feel it?
You don't let go
Do you feel it? Like I feel

We've been through so many things
Ups and downs and in between
If you need more love from me
I'll give you more, just let me know

It's like a loving when you run and go tell somebody
Same loving put you through hell sometimes
You don't give it up to nobody
When you love somebody
When you love somebody

Do you love the way I do
When I'm loving your body (let me know)
Hey, do you love the way I do
When I'm loving your body (let me know)
Hey, do you love the way I do
When I'm loving your body (let me know)
When I'm loving your body (let me know)
Love, loving your body (let me know)"

Ladies Love Lyrics: JE "Getting Over You"

Jagged Edge is back!!! Finally. these four guys have provided the soundtrack to some very important and specific moments in my life. I am a fan. I also love the combination of them, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox. It's a formula that cannot lose. I was excited to get my hands on "JE Heartbreak II" so that my ears could be happy. I instantly fell for two songs "Future" and "Getting Over You/" One is about seeing your future in the eyes in the one you love while the other represents the opposite end of love, the ending. Both spoke to me for decidedly different reasons. I chose "Getting Over You" because it was more closely related to my current situation. You should def get into the video above, the lyrics below and the cd in its entirety. 

I don't wanna spend, I don't wanna spendThe rest of my life getting ova youI don't wanna spend, I don't wanna spendThe rest of my life getting ova youMy soul I been pouring, I remember that morningYou left with no warning, I need you nowI don't wanna spend, I don't wanna spendThe rest of my life getting ova you, now
From the moment I walked in it was wrong, so wrongYeah and I looked around for a couple seconds andEverything, it was gone, it was gone, it was goneSo many things about ya, it was perfect for meCan't believe all my love has gone awayAnd I'm down in the dumpster, I'm bout to fill this cupBartender, fill me up..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Luke James' "Exit Wounds"

My obsession with Luke James started as a purely physical one. He is a gorgeous Black man. I like to look at him. It's just a bonus that he voice is as beautiful that he is. Oh, and the fact that he is a New Orleans boy makes him top notch in my book.  I am a true fan of his voice though. His self titled debut was released on September 23, 2014. I love it. I have two favorite tracks so far.  The first is "Exit Wound." It's one of those love lost/breakup/I'm over you songs that I find myself listening to a lot these days. Everything about it is golden to me. The second is "Insane." It's about a love that almost was. Both speak to me on a deep level. So, I had to share them with you guys. Get into the videos and lyrics below. Enjoy Luke James. 

"I slept on your side of the bed yesterday
I don't understand why I can't forget you
I know I messed up when I missed your birthday
We both broke the code
Didn't think I'd ever see you go
I wonder if you ever loved me 
'Cause if you did why be so cold

I hope you know this ain't a hurt
It's just an exit wound that just won't close
My brain lets guard each time I let you though
You left a hole
Stole my smile and all that I got left of you
Are these exit wounds
Well fuck you!
Everything you are today you made it
Can't believe I felt for all your fake shit
Well fuck you!

I'm kinda glad that it's over
I've found a better half I hope 
That hurt you
I heard you moved back to New Orleans some how
We spoke on the phone, 
Asking me where we went wrong
You wonder if I ever loved you
'Cause if I did why be so cold..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Marsha Ambrosius' "So Good"

This Marsha Ambrosius song has been on repeat since this past weekend. It's "So Good" off her latest cd "Friends & Lovers" that came out this summer. I am a sucker for a lyrically dope song and Marsha knows how to do that. I love this whole project. She can do no wrong in my book. I am a fan. Get into these lyrics and this song. 

"I can tell by looking at youThat thing is good, good good goodI can't help myself around youI wanna do every thingI ain't gonna front, I'm upfrontBlatant 'bout what I wantI want you here right now, babyLook at me the way that you doYou want me tooAnd I don't wanna waste no time

So make it rain and let it fallDown on me,I can't believeThat your love so goodSo goodYour love so good, so goodSo good to me

Outta space I'm on a high toThat shit is goodDon't let me come downPut your lips where I can find youAnd take me nowRun it deep like a running back,Make you work it back,Make me want it badMake me want you bad, babyTill the sun comes up and skies blueAnd over again I'll take it babe
Just make it rain down on me

I can't believe that your love is soGoodSo goodYour love so good, so goodSo good to me

You pulling on my hairYou're right between my legsYou're kissin' on my neckI'm scratching on your backI say baby go headGo hard, I say go aheadBaby, take it there..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: MJB's "Whole Damn Year"

Mary J. Blige has been singing my life's heartache and heartbreaks since her debut cd. She has had the ability to tap into that specific pain for years. Her new single is "Whole Damn Year." From the first listen, I was pulled in. The song is about the time it takes to get over a heartbreak. Mary says it took a whole damn year but it's going on two for me. So, this song is appropriate in this moment for me. Love everything about it because I am a MJB fan. Mary's new project "The London Sessions" will be released in November 2014. Get into these lyrics.

"See winter took most of my heart
And spring punched me right in the stomach
Summer came looking for blood
And by autumn, I was left with nothing

It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It took a whole damn year
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It’s been about five years

Gon’ take a long long year for me to trust somebody
Gon’ take long long year
Gon’ take a long long year for me to touch somebody
It’s been about five years..."

Ladies Love Lyrics: Jazmine Sullivan's "Forever Don't Last"

Jazmine Sullivan is back. And, as a fan, I couldn't be happier. Her latest single is "Forever Doesn't Last." It is my current new favorite song. It's a song that touches me deeply and personally. The concept of "forever" has a very short shelf life in the world today. People say "Forever" when they really mean "right now" or "for the foreseeable future." Anyway, the lyrics of this song are so true. I really love it and the fact that it's Jazmine is singing them. Get into them. 

"I had high hopes for us, baby.
Like I was on dope for us, baby.
Chasing after a high that I'd never get back again.
So we turn into 3 long years.
And it became painfully clear that we would
never see those days again.

But, I guess forever doesn't last too long, 
forever doesn't last too long, 
forever doesn't last too long these days. Hey.  

And, I tried to believe that we would make it.
But, trying don't work so I just have to face that 

forever doesn't last too long these days.

Still think about the good times we had
and how you used to make me laugh.
But baby, I know most times we were miserable.
So every time I wanna call
baby what always help is when I think of the pain
and I realize I'm better off by myself.

Cause forever doesn't last too long, 
forever doesn't last too long,  forever doesn't last too long these days. 
And, I tried to believe that we could make it. 
But, trying don't work and I just have to face that 

forever doesn't last too long these days. 

Lord knows I gave it my all and 
I couldn't save us from falling. 
Cause some people ain't meant to be 
together forever, forever..."
