Anywhere But Here

Love got me feeling like sweet sixteen

Feels like I'm sixteen

And then next year we'll feel, what?

Yep, yeah, yep

And then we'll feel, what?

Remix

Seventeen

And that'll be whole 'nother thing

She was up in the range all the time, all the time

With the grind on her mind all the time, went to Crenshaw High

Learned singing from her brother who directed the choir

And swinging from her mother who protected the tribe (Ahh, yeah)

Opened a hole in the sky

She met a gangster who had traded her, her heart for a lie (Ahh, yeah)

She sure was blind, she clipped me one day and I blew up, I took a dive

A **** was high, she said, "I heard that you did a lot

I'm leaving L.A. 'cause I'm beautiful, you coming or not?" (Ahh, yeah)

I said you're beautiful but

I can't be out here on the ledge with you, if you gonna jump (Ahh, yeah)

She said she falling in love

She heard that I could get her signed and put her out in a month (Ahh, yeah)

You do look good in them pumps

But you gon' have to take them off to reach the life that you want

She said, "Take me with you

Think we're meant to

Change my life and fall in love"

She said, "Anywhere, love, but L.A

Anywhere, love, but L.A"

She was up in on the train all the time

All the time with the grind on her mind all the time, from the A to the 5

Learned to DJ from her brother, who had showed her to rhyme

How to open up her soul, you know controlling the vibe (Ahh, yeah)

Opened a hole in the sky

She dreamed an Angel with a microphone had showed her to fly (Ahh, yeah)

She sure was fly

I met her in the airspace up over my mind

A **** was high, she said, "I heard that you did a lot

I flew to L.A. 'cause I'm beautiful, but I'm outta luck" (Ahh, yeah)

I said, "You're beautiful but, I see a blinding light is in you. just don't use it enough" (Ahh, yeah)

I think I'm falling in love

You don't even know how you feel, but you've been calling it love (Ahh, yeah)

You know we're not getting young

But I'm ready to hit the sky, so tell me, what do you want?

So take her with you

Think we're meant to

Change my life and fall in love

Anywhere, love, but New York

Anywhere, love, but New York

Anywhere, love, but Chicago

Anywhere, my love, but Atlanta

Anywhere, my love, but Houston

London Or Miami

Baby
