Lyrics:
I said I left my baby girl a message
Sayin' I won't be coming home
I'd rather be alone
She doesn't fully understand me
That I'd rather leave than to cheat
If she gives me some time
I can be the man she needs
But there's a lot of lust inside of me
And we've been together since our teenage years
I really don't mean to hurt her, but I need some time
To be alone
But when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh, how I feel so sad
Now that I wanna leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I wanna be
Where I wanna be... - Hudba
This song!!! My son died three years ago. His birthday is coming up in March. He would have been 31. He use to sing this song. My baby couldn’t sing to save his life. But he would sing it anyway. It made me so happy. What I wouldn’t give to hear him sing it now. I miss you son. Mama loves you so much.
Sorry deeply
🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
My heart is with you
Praying for you and the soul of your son! In Jesus name
@@christolbrown1003 Thank you so much!!
Somebody gotta be with me in 2024
👍🏾‼️
I’m right here February 2024 ❤❤
I'm here on the 1st of March 2024
I'm so with you love...on repeat to!!!
You know it!!!! MARCH 2024.
43 year old white dude from Seattle, who grew up in the grunge scene… and this album changed my life! 90’s R&B is FIYER!!!
Man, I miss being home. I'm from Seattle also.
Let’s make a 90s and early 20s party for all who know this music
Good taste and i fcks with grunge rock
who still healing on the low in 2024 😢
ME ❤
Not on the low ❤
Me this was my songgggg!!
Yo yoooooooo
Me 😢
The message: when you love someone you just don’t treat them bad. End the relationship BEFORE cheating
I mean it’s not that hard a woman will definitely have so much more respect for you if you just keep it real 🎯💯💯💯💯❤
There!!!
Romantic love is a two way street and love can get complicated as we do lose ourselves. Still I wonder how many women would appreciate this cold honesty? “Bade, I’m not sure I still feel the way I did about our relationship, I’m distracted as you might of noticed and I’ve come to a decision, I think I should be on my own to figure things out. I don’t want to lie to or disrespect you so I’m telling you I’m letting go and it’s best if you do too.”
Truth!!!!
@@Ronald-ks2iyit sucks either way. It’s better if your partner didn’t cheat, though.
LIFE ADVICE
If a man ever says " Sweeeeeedaleeedupdeedee" walk away.
Lmao
Wow 😬
beuaheaheaheaae
I’m dead 😵😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Forreal lol
The bitter honesty of this song but sadly too many men feel this way but selfishly they hold onto their woman because they can’t bear the thought of her moving on from them and they lose that chance to ever come back.
The legend!!
It’s so many options that I feel so unworthy to be loved. I feel so ugly. I truly believe a man cannot love a women and only her. I don’t think I will ever get to experience real love, because I been let down so many times.
@@susanschuck8841 Age should bring wisdom and too many times I see women getting themselves entangled with men that are not a good match for them. I see women make the same mistakes with men time and time again. There is a practical side to love and it emerges when the “honeymoon” is ending and it hits a lot of women like a brick wall as they finally realize their man was no more than a good fuk! He never was the type of man you should have tried to partner with.
See men fall in different categories and this is the questions you should be asking yourself: Is he capable of being a good companion to you? How deep is your attraction to him? Do you truly feel he is into you? Is he at that point in his life to have a serious relationship? How much baggage does he have and can you deal with it in the long term? Is he taking the time to know & understand the woman that you are?
Then ask yourself the same questions about yourself.
You right they forgot as men
It's kind of true
Man didn't get enough credit 4 his work.
Didn't know he still makes albums?
This is the story of a man that is seeking to self discover. Donell Jones paints the picture so vividly through his lyrics. He and his girl have been together since they were teenagers and even though he knows he loves her, he still feels like it may be necessary for him to explore the world and get over his curiosity about what else is out there. He's torn about whether to stay or leave because he loves his girl and doesn't want to hurt her, but he doesn't want to get to the point where he regrets not getting to experience life as a single man. So he makes the decision to take a break and steps out there and sleeps with the girl from the club only to come to the realization that it wasn't worth it after seeing his longtime girl on a date with someone else. That's when he calls her outside and pleads for her love back and apologizes. The truth of the matter is this is the reality for a lot of men. Some choose to stay and be faithful, some choose to take a break, and some choose to cheat. Moral of the story is if you know someone is valuable to you, don't take them for granted and risk losing them. The strength of your love for them will determine the outcome.
1990BornBaby wow. So um... I’m working on an essay right now.... can you finish it for me? 🤣
Magic Johnson? Is that you?
@@guillem9929 HAAHAHAHAHAHA
1990BornBaby I totally agree with until the point of him wanting to get back with his ex after seeing her on a date...I think it’s more like him contemplating whether or not he should go back to her after a breaching her trust..when he sees her trying to move on he shoots his shot because he realizes they are not over each other...she had the choice of taking him back or ignoring him and continuing with the date
Damn your words are true to us men. You hit a homerun sir. Really well written
I will respect a man if he just keeps it real. If he got alot lust in him and he isn't ready and he rather leave then leave, but tell her why you leaving. Don't just disappear, because she's going to think something is wrong with her.

MY SITUATION
yo
right!!!
i wish there were women out there that reallt understand this song..sometimes love just isnt enough.
This whole album deserves a grammy
💯
And it did not get one. So sad
This album had me in a chokehold. I drove my sister crazy playing this song on repeat for months. To this day, I still never skip this song when it comes up in my playlist.
@@Styl849 word as bond!!
One of the best albums ever hands down
This song is iconic in the black community
Not just the black community
Said he'd rather LEAVE than to CHEAT!!!! Now THAT'S A MAN....A REAL ONE!!! WHEN U LUV SOMEONE, U JUST DON'T TREAT THEM BAD....A man who TRULY KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING OF LOVE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY TO ME!!!!!
Who here in 2019. I kno I am😍❤❤

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
This song hits different... the older we get... the wiser we should become. When you prefer quality over quantity, you know you've reached a whole new level of adulthood.
man wish RnB was still like this, stuff like this never gets old.
The millennials will never know.
+Le Afrique Don't. just don't.
I swear Oms

Yep
I used to love this song until I got married to someone who was 8 years younger than me. Our marriage lasted for 18 years but every time I heard this song it struck a cord with me. It was no longer as beautiful as it was before I had been married. We divorced a month ago and this song was my biggest fear coming true. I was resentful at first but I came to understand why this song had brought up those feelings in me because I felt it throughout our marriage although I would constantly ask him if he felt this way. It's only right that you be happy in life and follow your free will. The key is to be honest about the way you feel inside. With a situation like this somebody's going to be hurt but it's how you do it that matters. We've been apart for a year and a half and I have healed now and this song is once again beautiful. Lesson: marry somebody who knows what they want when they get married
❤️❤️❤️hugs
*Bearhug!*
That last part👌🏾💯. 🤗
Well said❤️ am glad u have healed is not easy being with someone for that amount of time and not feel something still. Blessings
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
True definition of lust.💔

He was really honest about his feelings! ❤
OLDER U GET U UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS MASTERPIECE
I do understand I'm the one that got hurt my heart hurt me so bad I really loved him
He did me so wrong let me win three babys
Big facts
You're right... I understand how the meaning behind this song is even bigger bullshyt than I thought it was as a kid 🤣

MASTERPIECE!!!
They don't make music like this anymore😢
Like these gen z need to listen to the lyrics of this song
💞💞💞
Yes! But everyone wants to be the killer thug now a days. No one wants to the lover boy. It's deemed to be weak.
In 2024 still listening to u ...

all time favorite song
THIS song is so timeless it feels like its your first time hearing it everytime
Yes it does..will never get old
definitely an rnb classic
I'm glad they continue to play it on iHeart Radio.

a sexy smooth way of saying , "I want you, but I want them too. so im going to go sleep around & put you on the back burner. .but stay loyal to me, even though im not returning the favour "
This was my song back in grade school though
Sad but true. God bless you.
hell yea
it's funny back when i was a kid i never appreciated the lyrics of this song as much as "you know what's up" but as adult i recognize what a masterpiece this was and still is. yes, not a great "message" but beautifully written and well thought out. deep shit
Truth!
Wait? Was this A fukc boy anthem before it became movement?????
this is hands down my top 5 R&B songs of all time ... kids from this gen will never know the nostalgic feel
Facts
Hands down #1 for me❤
Now that I’m older, this hit different.
Yesssss
So clear
Hitting so hard at this moment 😢
Can you believe this song came out in 1999?!😳 I was like 5 years old. They don't make music like this anymore. Thumbs up if you agree
so very true
I'm 15 and I was born in 2001 I like the 90s and 80s music better than my generation today
👍👍👍👍👍
man this song was and still is a classic brother!!!! I was in HS when this came out & this song was on the radio everynight, but it never got old...
👍👍👍👍
“Sweedildeedumdeedumdeeedeee” lol we still here in 2020

J Vocals yes
J D why? it's a search away.
whose here with me In 2024 ? 🥰
I was 17 when this album dropped, and it was the sound of the summer of 2000 for me, lol. As great as R&B was back then, you couldn't play every song on most albums. But Where I Wanna Be did not have one single off song. It was the perfect soundtrack to just vibe out to, and it still is all these years later!
I understand his lust and where he's coming from considering they were together so long. However, he has to accept the fact that she may not take him back in the end.
1:24
When he said: *_"Swee-Doo-Doo-Dee-Doop-Dee-Dee"_*
I felt that.
😊😂😂😂

From stevie wonder
Moral of the story. They both thought they could move on from each other and tried new things with someone else. Then they realized they were meant for 1 another all along.
When you love someone you just don’t treat them bad since my last girl left me I really understand now, you don’t neglect or disrespect a girl you say you love if you love her always make her feel loved 💯
This song hits different now that I’m older ❤️

Yeah like "Nigga don't fucking try me like that" Where you wanna be? You leave you stay gone.

YES!!! Omg
If you want to break up honestly because you'd rather explore your options, that's fine. Just take heed that the one you're leaving behind may not be there in the future to take you back after you find out shit ain't sweet with all those other chicks.
Damn this song till today I still get chills when I listen to it.
Yeah my ex girlfriend treated me like that I'm so stressed out
My husband & I have been together since our teenage years & now we’re almost 50! True love never fails
how did yall do it? im so lost
Love is forever

I Love this song. Damn it brings back so many memories
Donell always showed the dark skins love ❤
Back when women were natural and presented themselves so beautifully! 💯
Back when they had QUEENS in the videos
Say that for the ppl in the back
This song is really true tho . I rather someone leave a relationship then to cheat on me either way ima be hurt but it’s respectful to leave 🤷🏾♀️
Well said
That's the whole point, and I agree. I respect HONESTY no matter HOW badly it hurts!
Give this man his flowers 🌷🌹🌷 definitely under rated 🌹💐💐 love "have to find out what life is like without you" 😊 hurt people Hurt People 💔
If you have faith and trust in God your love will never die. I've been with my wife for 14 years and I almost lost her but I grew up and now there's no where in the galaxy I want to be if it's not with her. True love does exist don't give up.
Much respect for you.
soon as sis on a date wit somebody else here his ass come back at the window dressed like candyman talkin about “sweedildeedumdeedumdeedee”
I'm dead!!!
lmfaooooooo im soooo weak!
😂😭😭
LMAO
😂😂😂😂Very funny
He did right and explored the world outside his relationship. Gotta remember he said he been with her since their teenage years, any man or woman for that matter gone wanna explore and live life. The only thing with this that guys gotta realize is that she not guaranteed to still be available if you determine the grass wasn’t greener on the other side.
And on his Unsung, i think she..the 1st love.. said she found out thru this song!
This is the perfect explanation of these video. Thank you.
Happen to me and she started seeing someone else smh bastards
this!!!!!!!
Exactly
By the time that freak sees where he wants to be I will be long gone where I want to be which is with a man who has a moral compass and self control over his lust and 3D mind 🤢 that freak would be dead to me
♒️💫
It breaks my heart to witness the raw honesty shared by DJ in this timeless and poignant masterpiece. To truly comprehend the wrongness of abandoning someone who truly loves you, DJ’s girl should have made him feel the pain of being treated as a mere rebound by not taking him back. Taking DJ back is an extended invitation to DJ that its ok to treat her poorly. He won't ever respect her, and the cycle of lustful ghosting will happen again. Breaking a trauma bond after a betrayal can consume the strongest of us. Seek clinicle help and live your best life. The second ghosting breaks you mentally. Let them go when they ask you to do so. The stress isnt worth the pain to keep them.
💯💯💯
This statement is so true yeah im glad he broke it off instead of cheating on her but when the eye wonders again he is gone or whenever things get hard guess what he is gone because now you gave him or her permission to leave when the going gets tough. Just go ahead and let him go the person God has for you is not going to leave you ❤
@@coleyboot1we they was together since they were teenagers he as a right to see if that was really where he wanted to be , and so did she
@@shadonnamarie93I never said he didn't re read the message
He's free to go and try new things. To each his own. Just know your key isn't going to work if you decide to come back.
Woah! Thats deep
faaaccctttssss
💯
itsme516 - Yeah, because I'll be there with the new key when he gets back.
Lol you know his damn key go fit . Lmao how many people said that and still let them back in .. lol
You all are wrong about the true meaning of this song it's not about him cheating or about him thinking about it. This song is about him second guessing if he is still in love with her and if she is truly the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with
He clarifies in "Where you are", the official part 2 to this song. It was on the album after this one. However they didnt promote it correctly. Fuckin GREAT song!!!
If a woman or man leaves there partner let them go because look at the video how selfish he was he was in bed with another woman just like my x was with my best friend she texted me to tell me the truth if they leave you and Cheat they will do it again best to remain friends and forgive and enjoy your life both of them
+Kya Cald People take the video and forget to truly listen to the lyrics.. The video only clearly detracts people from hearing the message
+David Fender David I believe all of us feel lyrics like dancing and maybe it was my personal feelings inside me who knows sending love to all everyone is going threw something my friend happy new year soon to all
+David Fender . . . LMAO! No, baby. Perhaps you need to re-listen to the lyrics. "But there's a lot of LUST inside of me." What do you think that implies/insinuates? Take it from a licensed sexologist. Sex? Relationships? I deal with this on a daily basis. I realize that this is just a "song", but the time to figure out "where one wants to be" is NOT when someone has fully invested and committed themselves to you. (One, two, three, four years down the line.)
You have to be REAL with yourself and with your partner/other half. If you want "casual", keep it casual. If you want "committed", keep it committed. Don't make bullshit excuses afterwards. To do so is only a waste of everyone's time. ;-)
This is a great song and warning to a lot of people. That yes people want to experience life and different things. When you leave that person may NOT be there waiting for you to come back and you can't fault them for that. Life goes on and the person being broken up with is also experiencing things as well.
💯💯💯👏👏👏

I love Donell Jones but this song pissed all the way off ! 😭💔 This is how all girls around the world feels. Having the man you're in love fuck around 😒 Like these dudes really need to make up their mind
why you mad
Khyla Nealy sounds piggish but be the freak your man needs you to be right now no contingencies and if he still can't stop fuckin around you know for sure he's a dog
James McWright who's mad ? I just said I loved Donell Jones . You're old asf. Get off CZcams ✌🏾️
kevin kelly what sounds "piggish" ? 😐 and a dude is gonna fuck around just for the fun of it. He doesn't care who he's hurting. He can have the "freak" he's always wanted but will still mess around. That's just how they are. There ain't nothing you can do
Khyla Nealy
Untrue, I never cheated on my lady til I started getting sexually frustrated
I broke someone’s heart while playing this song, 99” still till this day it’s takes me back and wish I could undo what I did… I vowed to never do that ever again because I know now how that felt.. 😢 1:57
The ending was stoopid stay gone if you leave big dawg fr
In this song, it truly isn't about cheating or being with someone else. It's about a brother sorting his oats. Instead of him staying in the relationship and sorting his oats(cheating)he decides to write her a letter stating he wouldn't be coming home. Thumbs up to the brothers that does this,because it takes a real man to be able to do this and not drag the woman he loves through his escapades. However, don't expect her to be there when you finish. Learn the lesson!!!
That's still a messed up situation
Personally i don't think you should fuck around with someone for that long and then decide you wanna see what life is like. Like no, that just means you never loved her.
You don't understand a man if you think that...
So you wouldn't mind if your boyfriend of YEARS just comes up and says "hey its been great but i want to be single now."
Alexis Reduvon It wouldn't feel very good but at the end of the day, people do change, especially with age. If you're with somebody from high school, chances are high that you will not be with them during or after college because that's when the change usually comes. Recently one of my family members broke up with her partner of 12 yrs that she was with since 9th grade just months before their wedding. It happens all the time.
I understand. I was just giving MY personal opinion.
Ashley Williams 50% divorce rate in The US.
As much as it would hurt, I think it would hurt more than being cheated on…unless you just gonna take the lil man you got, and just work with him
Man this song give me goosebumps everytime i hear it, its a classic message of men being greedy having a beautiful woman but letting lust almost cause them to lose it all!!! And in real life if you do a beautiful woman like he did in the song, 90% off the time you wont get her back like he did, thats why i love and appreciate my wife so much and would never 2nd guess our love!!! GROWN MAN TALK HERE!!! FELLAS IF YOU THINKING ABOUT STEPPING OUT ON A GOOD WOMAN PLAY THIS SONG OR WATCH THE VIDEO IT MY KEEP YOU FROM MAKING A LIFE CHANGING MISTAKE!!!
I wasjust sent this song by my fiancee of 7 years😢 he broke up with me a week ago. I was not expecting this but I got the message loud and clear. Moving on from someone you love is hard but I'll find my way
"do I leave, do I stay, do I go" I felt that😩
The way dude was looking at Donell through the window like “AHH HELL NAW THIS IS GHETTO” takes me out every time he immediately grabbed his drink🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅
Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's Karl Kani lol look him up
😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying😂😂😂
Remember my grandma always playing this CD in the early 2000s, this was her favorite song🔥 Rip🕊
But when love some one.. You just don’t treat them bad! I wish ppl still had the same sentiment!!😩
🦫
This is actually a really hurtful situation . I can't get back with a man if he didn't know if he wanted to be with me just to explore another woman's body
At least he's honest and he's telling her where he wants to be...no pun intended.
yep, its hurtful. been there, done that. But people only live once so just let them find out if they have never explored.
I just took a detour,but I'm back on track.
TRUEEEE.... I am still single since I divorced my ex in '07.....he killed it for Me... can't trust anyone else... tried to see if I can meet Someone decent but it's all about getting n hitting it for them... I refuse to settle for anything less than what I had... SMDH!!!!! :( :(
Well in the song he said he was with her since his teenage years, so you can't blame someone for wanting to just experience new stuff.
If a man tells you he needs time to see where he wants to be sis DO YOU and don’t hold your breath because you’re obviously an option and not a choice-also don’t be mad at dude, he told you
Lol you sound better and singe
It’s a lot of thout that sound just like you
And single mom too lol
I AGREE
Mr. Logical viewing your page and videos, it seems like you’re the bitter one. 🥴
I can still be mad. Smh
If y’all are young you must understand but if dude over 25 he just a dog or you was his first 🤷🏾♂️
She beautiful as those other girls, we always think the grass is greener on the other side, take care of your own grass and you will be alright 😔
90s and early 2000 outfits were so fresh!!!!!! DAMN I MISS THIS ERA!!!!!
I know!! I was 16 when this came out
No doubt about it
Darius Magada-Ward i still rock it them sometimes
Yes it was
what people have to understand is that LUST comes at you so fast that most mistake it for love...if youve been with someone since teenage years, it typically starts out as lust and may eventually lead to love, but by that time you feel stuck and pressured and feel like youve missed out on something that may have been truly for you or not. The painful part is leaving to find out, only to find out that their isnt anything out there and try to double back to what you had and he/she is gone. Main point is, dont jump into something that started out based on lust that grew to love or you will find yourself standing outside a mf window singing "sweedledeeedoooodeeedeeee"
💯 ❤
This is not the real story. According to his Unsung or TV one story. He was already cheating and messing with another woman. His wife suspected this. She asked him if he still loved her and wanted to be married? He couldn't answer. She said ill make the decision. I want you gone. She went back to Chicago where there from. So he cleaned the story up real well in this video but this isn't what he actually did. Nice song and I'm still and fan. His honest feelings should be heard and respected. I just hate when the Black mother of your kids is there through the lean and poor times. Then when you make it big You want to bounce after she relocated all the way to the East coast. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Factzzz
Ok, so when he wants someone who'll really love him where does he expect her to be? Right around the corner waiting for him?
Like most men! A woman supposed to wait on a man or society says she moving too fast and smutty but a man steps out and wanna come back means he loves you. Ain't that about a bitch.....
Amina Holder u got a good point frfr but wit us guys u kno we dnt miss wht we had till its gne.. and a high precent of us cant deal with pain... let alone emotional pain....
Still invokes powerful feelings in 2019.
If a man truly loves you he will make every effort to find his way back to you.
Love this song 🎵 when you kick it with someone from a teenager you don't know life yet 😢 best to keep it real if it's meant, yall will get back together look at Nelly & Ashanti 😂
Honesty is always the best policy, and in this song he's just keeping it 100%, like it or not!! You always have to respect a person that speaks the truth about their feelings!
Yes!!!
Facts, but most people are so used to hearing lies that the truth hurts like a muthafucka and they won't accept it. I'm told I'm brutally honest, but I like it that way because it frees me regardless of the outcome.
@@tweetdaone4450 Nice, clean, dependable approach!
He's teaching a life lesson, don't make the mistakes he made with a woman you love..Don't just hear the song listen to the message.
He had a good woman, but he chose to leave...rather than hurt her from cheating from all the "lust" he had from all the stuff he had yet to experience. 😢
I'm here in 2024 and this song is still fire! 🔥☔🎶🥰
exactly Donell. leave. don't cheat, just leave
He did both, the moral is she forgave and understood. Imagine a woman doing that.
Women do it ALL the time...if we didn't, marriage would not exist!

Chel X you and him right. don't cheat just be out
Chel X true
I love all the kids who grew up on this song, now understand what the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣 swaddleeedoooooo do dooooo
I love this song, it’s definitely one of his greatest songs ❤🔥. Happy 50th Birthday to one of my top 3 favorite male singers, Donell Jones! ❤🥳🎉🎊5/22/2023
❤️❤️
I have fond memories of this song. Holds a special place in my heart. Oh to my hs days. Young and in love 😊
I finally understand this song
Explain
Me too
Please explain
explain my eng is not perfect
Like any dude he wants his cake & to eat it too basically . But he dont wanna completely cut her off . He wanna fool with other girls but dont wanna feel bad by cheating so he breaks up with her to have sex with other girls then when he see he missing out on the real love he go tryna get her back because having sex with random hoes aint all that
I’m actually in this situation. It sucks believe it or not. You love the person but you’re also needing space from them to figure yourself out. And you don’t wanna hurt them but you can’t help how you feel. It’s such a guilty feeling. This song is so beautiful 💕
I was in that same situation, but all my exes cheated on me instead of leaving! Me, honestly speaking, I'd rather leave the relationship rather than cheat, I'm not gonna go out and find other women cause I much rather be solo because staying in a relationship is much harder than ending it
Yes! He's being honest and that's very rare especially in men nowadays
If you dont know then maybe hes not the one, its torture being on the other side waiting for someone to basically figure out if you're worth staying for or not
He had lust inside of him, I can see if you wanna be alone for other reasons but he wanted to sleep with other women. Now he outside the window because he sees her with another man.
Teniyah Christian stay in prayer 🙏
“I have to find what life is like without you” ooooooohhhhh that’s hard to hear
Remember being on the bus in 1999 hitting this with my classmates ! Damn this song stil give me chills
May we have the strength to get rid of confusing men like him in 2018. Amen
How did that work out hun?
Vice versa
No Amen #weneedbalance

"When you love someone you just don't treat them bad." One of the realest statements. I see relationships go bad left and right. Divorces are normal. Hurting loved ones is common. And most of all now that I am a Christian, I see how bad I hurt Christ Jesus when I do not accept His grace and live a sinful lifestyle. I don't want to take advantage of this perfect love from Jesus. "Say when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad"
the Truth sets people free, it doesn't ruin the song. I just added a bit of Truth to the song God bless
Nothing nice about it, GOD BLESSES and GOD IS REAL AND ALIVE my friend. Me-I am a Man of God and I know the love of God which is real. I know the love from The Savior Jesus Christ. I say nothing to offend you, but out of love. Truth is Love, God is love, and you may have everything in this world... but if you do not have Love you have NOTHING. So God bless you and I mean God bless you. I pray God will illuminate your heart and your mind. That you will know the love of Jesus and Jesus will reveal Himself to you in an amazing way. Who am I? That doesn't matter. I hope you get to know Jesus. God bless
***** anyone who responds the way you did with "way to ruin an amazing song" is enough of a reason to assume. And to say "keep your blesses to yourself" is another reason. The body of Christ is a community. Not a me against the world attitude. If you love Jesus, you love people. The number one and main commandment is to love God and to love others. Jesus is LORD. Take a step back and look at each post and tell me with a clear conscious how I scared you, how i pryed into your life, and how i invaded. I didnt post on your comment. You posted on my comment. That gave me an open invitation to type about Jesus. Jesus loves you
***** My comment had everything to do with God... and you said I ruined a song by simply relating it to Christ Jesus. I did not attack you. I said God bless you. Have a good one buddy. God bless you
you just said I am "mean" and "intrusive" and "rude" and "offensive." By saying that, you placed a judgment on me. Why did you judge me. I didn't say anything about who you were or your character. Get it right. God bless
My boyfriend at the time sent this to me, “when you love someone , you just don’t treat them bad.” We’ve known each other since we were 12, 13 maybe. He passed July 26,2016 from diabetes, he was only 20 days in on being 27 , I was 5 days from my 26th. He was my King a true leader indeed. This is one of the songs, I go to when I get to missing him or when I sense his presence. Brian McKnight -Crazy Love was our forever song. Love you forever Detric “petey” Franklin
This is a classic that deserves to be in the time capsule. All time one of the most underrated timeless songs of all time.
The Nostalgia hits hard on this one though...lol! Back when music was both full of soul and significance.
No truer words spoken...
Exactly!
Periodt I was just listening too it hard asf like you betta 😆
have you actually listened to those lyrics
@Honin Akecheta I would argue that sweetdideedumdeedoodeedee is pretty significant.
