Lyrics
[Intro]
Mary J, will.i.am, in the place with the love
Yeah, it feels
It feels good
Mary J, will.i.am
Tell 'em how you feel
[Verse 1]
Boy, you got me goin' crazy
I don't know what to say anymore
'Cause still I wanna be your lady
You know that I would never walk out that door
I'm not giving up on us but
Things can get a little hard in this life
But you know, you know I love you
[Chorus]
You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see
What you're doing to me?
I'm sayin' yes and sayin' no
Because I don't want you to know
How I really feel (How I really feel)
How I really feel
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (How I feel, you know how I feel)
So good to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
You, you're the one for me
I don't wanna be free
Boy, you have rescued me
But sometimes I don't want to be bothered
Baby, don't think I am shady
Just adjusting to ya
I don't wanna confuse ya or even misuse ya
But I love ya, I love ya, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see (In a man)
What you're doing to me? (What you're doing to me)
I'm sayin' yes and sayin' no (Oh yeah)
Because I don't want you to know
How I really feel (How I really feel)
How I really feel (How I really feel)
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (How I feel, you know how I feel)
And it's so bad to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh, so very happy with my life
So glad to have someone to hold me
So very happy with my life
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad
[Verse 3]
Baby, you a soul mama
Love's what I'ma
Bring to you quick, don't pause like a comma
Won't stall on ya when it's time to put it on ya
Don't call on another chick, I'm callin' on ya (Hey)
Won't trip on ya, I don't bring the drama
I won't dip out when it's trauma
I'm holdin' on, mama
Hold up, wait a minute
We've been through the down's up, but stayed in it
So glad that I got you, that I got you
So glad that I got you, that I got you
[Chorus]
You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted (Oh, everything)
In a man, can't you see (Oh, in a man, babe)
What you're doing to me? (You're driving me crazy)
I'm sayin' yes and sayin' no (Oh, sayin' yes)
Because I don't want you to know (I don't want you to know)
How I really feel
How I really feel (How I really feel)
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (You know how I feel)
About you (How I feel, you know how I feel)
So glad to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
