Yeah… Ashanti definitely doesn’t get nearly enough credit. She’s also written and sang on some of the biggest hits of the 2000s and many people don’t even know. She wrote, “I’m real” and really wanted to keep it, but it was given to Jennifer Lopez and ja rule.
Ahhh hello again 2002. I had a flip phone. Didn’t have no social media. And this was playing on every radio station possible. Life has changed so much in the past 20 years. Unreal.
Not "pop-RnB" ... Not "rock-RnB" ... Not "electro-RnB" ... Not "DavidGuetta-RnB" ... This is PURE RnB baby ! ... She could have been the queen ... but people prefer Bey and Riri ... no comment
I remember as a young boy when her album came out in 2002 I was 11 yrs and man when I tell you everybody in the trenches was bumpin this song I heard it everywhere! I felt like Ashanti was talking to me as young boy this song still send shivers down my shine as a man! They don’t Makem like this nomore 🔥🔥🔥
Goodness!, One of my favorite songs from her. I was I think around 11 years old when this song came out. It was amazing the first time I heard it. And it's still amazing now. Far more better than the disgusting music we see and hear in today's society. These old 1990's and early 2000's music/songs never get boring or old to listen to. They still sound new even after 20 something years.
My favorite part: baby I can't see my worth living here on God's green earth you don't know what you done to me even though I need you desperately 😍❤️🥰🤩
This song takes me back to my high school days, I was 17 years old when this dropped. I had a crush on one of my guy friends and I suspect he may have had a crush on me too. We made out a few times and I never told him how I really felt about him. We lost contact over the years than in 2005 I found out he took his life. I miss him so much and always wonder what would have happened if I told him how I really felt about him.
[Intro] I don't remember feeling like this Baby Baby, I love you Baby Baby, I love you [Verse 1] I got this jones forming in my bones (from a man) Who indeed took over my soul (understand) I couldn't breathe if he ever said (he would leave) Get on my knees 'til they bloody red, (baby please) See, I don't know if you get it yet (just don't know) He's like a lighter to my cigarette (watch me smoke) I never knew another human life (didn't know) Could have the power to take over mine So baby, baby [Chorus] Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I love it when I hear your name, got me saying Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby [Verse 2] See, I could never feel alone with you (in my life) I'll give up everything I own for you (won't think twice) Almost a shame how I'm mesmerized (such a shame) I lose my thought looking in your eyes (I know why) Because your kisses make my lips quiver (and that's real) And when you touch me, my whole body shivers (I can feel) Now, I can see how another life ('nother life) Could have the power to take over mine 'Cause you're my... [Chorus] Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I love it when I hear your name, got me saying Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Break it down [Bridge] Baby, I can't see my world (I can't see) Living here on God's green earth (God) You don't know what you've done to me (done to me) I never thought I'd need you desperately (desperately) It's kind of sick how I'm stuck on you (stuck on you) But I don't care 'cause I'm needing you (I'm needing you) And how I feel will remain the same (remains the same) 'Cause you're my baby ('cause you're my baby) [Verse 3] Listen, and when the world starts to stress me out (where I run) It's to you, boy, without a doubt (you're the one) Who keeps me sane and I can't complain (can't complain) You're like a drug, you relieve my pain (may seem strange) You're like the blood flowing through my veins (oooh) Keeps me alive and feeding my brain (oooh) Now this is how another human life ('nother life) Could have the power to take over mine 'Cause you're my... [Chorus] Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I love it when I hear your name, got me saying Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby [Outro] Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I was playing hitman 2 and listening to one of pac's posthumous releases when my girl walked in and took out that CD and put this CD. I swear to God I was in the mood to flip but she told me to give it a try coz it has that hip hop vibe and Ashanti is that dude. When I got to this song I was sold and I've been a fan of this album ever since. Big up to the princess of hip hop and rnb👊😊
Back here listening to this amazing song. I can't even stop listening to this song. I'm single but when I listen to this song, I just feel like wearing sexy clothes and going out there and meeting sexy men 💕 I'm so thankful that I grew up during the 90's and early 2000's with amazing music. It makes me sad that today's society doesn't have music like this anymore.
I feel you I am glad I grew up in the era too. You will most def find you a good dude in your life soon if u already haven't cause your music taste says alit about you already so I know you gotta be a good girl and I don't even know you or anything about you other than you like good music.😚

[Intro]
I don't remember feeling like this
Baby
Baby, I love you
Baby
Baby, I love you
[Verse 1]
I got this jones forming in my bones (from a man)
Who indeed took over my soul (understand)
I couldn't breathe if he ever said (he would leave)
Get on my knees 'til they bloody red, (baby please)
See, I don't know if you get it yet (just don't know)
He's like a lighter to my cigarette (watch me smoke)
I never knew another human life (didn't know)
Could have the power to take over mine
So baby, baby
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I love it when I hear your name, got me saying
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 2]
See, I could never feel alone with you (in my life)
I'll give up everything I own for you (won't think twice)
Almost a shame how I'm mesmerized (such a shame)
I lose my thought looking in your eyes (I know why)
Because your kisses make my lips quiver (and that's real)
And when you touch me, my whole body shivers (I can feel)
Now, I can see how another life ('nother life)
Could have the power to take over mine
'Cause you're my...
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I love it when I hear your name, got me saying
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Break it down
[Bridge]
Baby, I can't see my world (I can't see)
Living here on God's green earth (God)
You don't know what you've done to me (done to me)
I never thought I'd need you desperately (desperately)
It's kind of sick how I'm stuck on you (stuck on you)
But I don't care 'cause I'm needing you (I'm needing you)
And how I feel will remain the same (remains the same)
'Cause you're my baby ('cause you're my baby)
[Verse 3]
Listen, and when the world starts to stress me out (where I run)
It's to you, boy, without a doubt (you're the one)
Who keeps me sane and I can't complain (can't complain)
You're like a drug, you relieve my pain (may seem strange)
You're like the blood flowing through my veins (oooh)
Keeps me alive and feeding my brain (oooh)
Now this is how another human life ('nother life)
Could have the power to take over mine
'Cause you're my...
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I love it when I hear your name, got me saying
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
