Mariah Carey - If We

[Ja Rule]

Yeah, heh

[Mariah (Ja Rule)]

I never (who would've thought baby)

Thought I'd be (missin' you baby)

Without you (I need you baby)

By me (why me?)

I never (who would've thought baby)

Thought I'd be (missin' you baby)

Without you (I need you baby)

By me (why me?)

[Ja Rule]

Love what your body does to me

On me, askin' me, off that ecstasy

Reminiscin' how we used to smoke and freak

Then fall asleep, lockin' for a week

Now we barely even talk and walk the block

Kiss and cuddle up, girl we losin' touch

What's a man to do but go crazy babe?

I know you mad but you don't really hate me babe

It's deeper than that, now

[1 - Mariah]

Baby if we got together again

Sugar I'ma be your very best friend

I would love you unconditionally

You're never gonna let me go baby

Promise I will be by your side

I'll be everything you need to get by

What I broke you know we finally mend (?)

Baby if we got together again

[Nate]

Sometimes I close my eyes and just pretend

What if I had a chance to do it all again?

Sometimes for happiness we hessitate

Just like the game, I need the love, won't wait

And if I had another best friend

What if I had someone on whom I could depend?

Someone who makes me feel like you used to

Tell me baby, what would you do?

[Repeat 1]

[2 - Mariah (Ja Rule)]

Baby if we got together again (who would've thought baby)

Sugar I'ma be your very best friend (missin' you baby)

I would love you unconditionally (I need you baby)

You're never gonna let me go baby (why me?)

Promise I will be by your side (who would've thought baby)

I'll be everything you need to get by (missin' you baby)

What I broke you know we finally mend (I need you baby)

Baby if we got together again (why me?)

[Ja Rule]

Why would you wanna go through the pain?

The lovin' another name

The truth is nobody can love you like I can

It's a damn shame

We can't even get along

We used to get it on, where'd it all go wrong?

I admit, the flesh is weak

But the game is strong

We go my way, your way baby, we movin' on

It's true, gon' miss you

Who would've thought I'd be without you?

[Mariah (Ja Rule)]

I never thought (baby there's nothin' to lose)

Thought I'd be (you know my soul's so cold)

Without you (and my love is pain)

By me (spit it one more time)

I never thought (my baby)

Thought I'd be (pride and joy)

Without you (I'ma make you mine)

By me (no doubt, whoa)
