Jill1228 04-17-2004 02:26 PM

What? No one mentioned Vanessa Williams?
 
Runnin' Back to You

RUNNING BACK TO YOU - Vanessa Williams
======================================

Break!

Boy, you've been runnin' 'round too long
And I think you're runnin' outta time
No more jumpin'i n and outta my bed
It's time for me to draw the line

(So you think that) you can call me the only one
Then walk out the door
(And you think that) you can run around havin' fun
And just come back for more
(I think that) you're livin' in a fantasy
Gotta be them or me
And if you try it one more time
Baby don't expect me to come runnin' back

(CHORUS:)
(Running back to you)
Then you'll think about love, all the good love I gave to you
I won't come runnin' (running back to you)
And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

Oh oh (oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
I won't come runnin' back (oh oh)
I won't come runnin' (oh oh oh)

Oh boy, hope you see before too late
I won't play the fool, no, not this time
And I'll show you just how wrong you are
To think I just can't get you outta my mind

(So you think that) you can just play me off
Then walk out the door
(Oh, you think that) you can just run around
And come back for more
(I think that) you're livin' in a fantasy
Gotta be them or me
And if you dis me once more
Baby don't expect me to run, runnin' back

(CHORUS)

Oh oh (oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
I won't come runnin' back (oh oh)
I won't come runnin' (oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh (oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
I won't come runnin' back (oh oh)
I won't come runnin' (oh oh oh)

You can't just dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear you're playing around when you wanna
Anytime that you wanna (oh wow oh)
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you wanna
Ah, and by the way (this one's for you)

Wow oh (oh oh oh oh)

(CHORUS)

(Oh oh) oh (oh oh) oh no (running, oh oh oh)
I won't come runnin' back (running, oh oh)
I won't come runnin' (oh oh oh)
Ooh no (running, oh oh) oh no (running, oh oh oh)
I won't come runnin' back (running, oh oh)
I won't come runnin' (oh oh oh)

Get the Message? Nuff Said!

I also love Blu Cantrell's "Hit Em Up Style"

Neosoulchild 04-17-2004 11:18 PM

Well, it's been five and a half years since I've even had a break up to even get over :( (And I don't even know if high school counts anymore) But anyway back on topic.

Aretha Franklin's "A Rose Is Still A Rose" is a good one.

A feeling i know too well....
 
The Best One ever....

EX-FACTOR~ Lauryn Hill

It could all be so simple, but you rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up in scars
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
Cause no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will.....

CrimsonTide4 09-09-2004 08:03 PM

Ex-Factor ~ Lauryn Hill (definitely)
Let It Burn ~ Usher (seems like it came out just in time for me)

yoshi_bnt 09-10-2004 01:11 AM

Brandy's new CD has some really good songs on it also...

Who I am
"Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
I feel blessed, you're the best,
I'm a better woman now. Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
This experience has made me who I am!"

That's my isht right there!

I Tried
How I feel...

Afrodisiac is a good CD for that we broke up, you messed me over, but it's ok cuz I got a good man now situation. WHAT!!!!!!!

I told the Storm~ Gregg O'Quinn

Nobody's supposed to be here~ Deborah Cox

I thought~ Brandy (off her full moon CD)

I wish I never met her (him in my case)~ Carl Thomas

Kimmie1913 09-10-2004 04:49 PM

Here are my favorites-
*and let me say, some of these ladies are not the uh, hem, greatest singers but the lyrics are hitting the spot so I can listen to the song for that reason*

I used to love him-Lauryn Hill and MJB

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was His
The life which was His
The life which was His
to begin with


Ex-Factor-Lauryn Hill

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will


Rain on Me-Ashanti (a non singer)
Im so tired of this rain
in my life
and I'm so tired of this strain
and I ain't gonna lie
cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
this here it just don't seem right and
sometimes I just wonder why I
almost let my life go by...
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me


Caught out there- Kelis
I HATE YU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!!

Get along with you-Kelis

Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me...
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you


Gonna be Alright- J-ho (I know I know another non singer)

Said I couldn't walk away
Some days I want to stay
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay
I never thought it would be true
Me living with out you
But now it's time for me to make that move


Unfoolish-Ashanti (I know there she is again)
I think I found my strength to finally get up and leave
No more broken heart for me
No more tellin' your lies to me
I'm lookin' like I got my head on right so now I see
No more givin' you everythin'
There's no more takin' my love from me


Bitter-Chante Moore
I'm just gonna speak from my heart
This song ain't about every man
But sometimes when you have had your heart broken
And there's pain
You gotta let it out exactly how you feeling it
I realize right no I'm just bitter
I remember the times we shared and I
Remember the long phone calls at night
You used to say the sweetest things
But today my phone rings and I wish
That you would just stop talking
I just can't take this anymore


Everyday it Rains- MJB




More to come...

Mariah Carey Breakdown lyrics
[Krayzie Bone - 1]
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down

[Mariah Carey]
You called yesterday
To basically say
That you care for me but
That you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

[Chorus]
Well I guess I'm trying not to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise till I go home at night
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry

[Mariah Carey]
So what do you do when somebody you're so devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I Will Survive"
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on) (x4 in background)
Do you lash out and say
How dare you leave this way
Do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away

[Chorus] - with 1 repeated in background

[Wish Bone]
Yeah, come on, yeah come on come on

[Mariah Carey]
I'm gonna breakdown

[Krayzie Bone]
Break, breakdown
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Steady breaking me on down
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on

[Mariah Carey]
I'm gonna breakdown

[Krayzie Bone]
Break, breakdown
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Steady breaking me on down
Gotta get control and roll on

[Wish Bone]
Gonna break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
Trying to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it (Forget it)

[Krayzie Bone]
I be feeling like your breaking me down
Kicking me around, stressing me out
I think you better go and get out
And let me release some stress (stress)

[Wish Bone]
Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
Lord, I just wanna maintain

[Krayzie Bone]
Yeah, I'm feeling pressures y'all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's ending here (here)

This is not a song, but I thought it would be encouraging for anyone with a broken heart. Hopefully, this will help during the healing process. It's surely helping me.


Just because

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn`t mean you shine any less.

Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can`t be topped, doesn`t stop you from being the best.

Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn`t mean that
day isn`t coming.

Just because no one has made this race worth while, doesn`t give you permission to stop running.

Just because no one has realized how much of a woman you are, doesn`t mean
they can affect your femininity.

Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn`t mean you
have to settle for a lower quality.

Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn`t
mean you have to sink to theirs.

Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn`t mean that life is always fair.

Just because God is still preparing your king,doesn`t mean that you`re not already a queen.

Just because your situation doesn`t seem to be progressing right now,
doesn`t mean you need to change a thing.

Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, keep praying, and keep being
exactly what you are already... COMPLETE :cool:

Bluetiful 01-06-2008 04:14 AM

My 2 favorite breakup songs: "What If" by Babyface and "I Wish I Wasn't" by Heather Headley. Oh, they both make me want to cry . . . I just had to post the lyrics!
(Plus of course, anything by Brian McKnight is just too depressing during a breakup!)


"What If" by Babyface is the perfect song for the good woman who was dumped! Just imagine the one who dumped you today is the same man who will one day too late regret (as they usually do) that he dumped the best thing that ever happened to him!

I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
But does she ever ask `bout me?
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know

[Chorus:]
What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we was `sposed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was `sposed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better?
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me
Still wanting me

Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There's just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home, you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I won't
I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on

[Chorus]

Now that could be my car
That could be my house
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing
That could be the trash that I always take out
That could be the chair that I love to chill in
That could be my food on the table at the end of the day
Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it's really `sposed to be this way?
What if you're really `sposed to be with me?


"I Wish I Wasn't" by Heather Headly is oh soooo sad but it can be empowering. It reminds you just how bad you've been treated and how unfair you are being to yourself by staying with that loser! This song is just REAL! It hits too close to home for too many of us good women!

[Verse 1]
I'm home alone again
And you're out hangin with your friends
So you say
Somehow I know it's not quite that way
It's getting pretty late
And you haven't checked on me all day
When I
called you didn't answer
Now I'm feeling like your ignoring me
I wish that you were home
Holding me tight in your arms

And I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

[Chorus:] I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
it just ain't fair the way you treat me
No you don't
deserve me
Wasting my time thinking bout you when you ain't never gon change
I wish I wasn't in love with you so I
wouldn't feel this way

[Verse 2]
When you touch me my heart melts
And everything you did wrong I forgive
So you play me and take advantage
Of the love
that I feel for you
Why you wanna hurt me so bad
I believed in you that's why I'm so mad
Now I'm drowning in
disappointment
And it's hard for me to even look at you
And I wish that you were home
Holding me tight in your arms
And
I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Said you care about me
But from what I see
I ain't feeling that
So I disagree
Gave you all my love
And understanding

And you're treating me like your enemy
So leave me alone
Don't want nothing from you
Just go back where you came from

This house is no longer your home
You are not welcome no no no more

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hear you knockin' at the door again
I'm wonderin' should I let you in
I open up the door and see
The flowers for me
So
beautiful in your hand
Please stop begging me to take you back
I've always been a sucker for romance
And before you know
it I concede
You're all over me
Oh no here I go again
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
