Alicia Keys - Keys Album Lyrics

The devil's always preying on the weaker souls
All that we can know, it was all good just a week ago
Prada carry-ons, off to Mikonos
Celebrating life on white sands, but only we can toast
Still got it cheaper though, scales like a Libra, yo
Playing on these keys like Alicia, that's her secret though
Only on the need to know, nah, you don't need to know
Had to tell the truth on this beat like Beanie Siegel though, Push

My God is plentiful
He surrounds me every day
I'm like a miracle
Feel the water beneath me
I used to live hidden in a disguise
Faith is the King that has opened my eyes
My God is plentiful
All my love, oh, thee I pray

Found me in Eden
Sculpted me from golden clay
Wrapped in my mother's arms
Safe in her holy embrace
Destiny is grounded in the Divine
I'll not depart, you'll forever be mine (oh)
My God is plentiful
Down my life for thee I lay

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh

Sometimes
It's pouring rain
Houselights are out
I need you to follow my direction
Yeah, follow me
I'm fallin' out
Lock and load me, hold my hand

If we go high, we can skydive
Up in the sky
Only rely on you and I
Whoa, hey

If we go high, we can skydive
Up in the sky
Only rely on you and I
Whoa, hey

If we fall down
If we fall down
If we fall down
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up

If we fall down
If we fall down
If we fall down
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up

Hold up
I can see the plan now
Life has come to right now
Ooh, child
I know we could make it last forever
Keep trying
We giants
Lock and load me, hold my hand

If we go high (if we go high), we can skydive
Up in the sky
Only rely on you and I
Whoa, hey

If we fall down
If we fall down
If we fall down
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up

If we fall down
(If we could fly)
If we fall down
Gotta get up
(If we could fly) gotta get up
Gotta get up

If we fall down
(If we could fly) if we hold on
(If we could fly)
If we fall down
(If we could fly) if we hold on
(If we could fly)

(If we could fly)
(If we could fly)
(If we could fly)
(If we could fly)

He, he
He, he

You get the side of me
I would hold back and not reveal
You feed the mystery
You are my red and my blue pill
It makes me come alive
Don't be a lie, it feels so real
You get the best of me

We can live on
The air
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

Ha
Baby baby
We gotta rock forever
Ha
Baby baby
We gotta rock forever
(Forever)
Ha, ha
You get the best of me
Ha, ha
You got a way to make me feel

Together
If you were mines then we could build a castle from tears
Only dry eyes, I would love on you for years
I'll never want another baby, let's just be real
Ooh

Ha
Baby baby (oh)
We gotta rock forever
Forever baby
Ha
Baby baby
We gotta rock forever
(Forever)
Forever baby
Ha, ha (ooh)
You get the best of me
Ha, ha
You got a way to make me feel

My heart is heavy like a stone
Hot as Hell up in the cold
Loneliness is sleeping in my room
Love is empty on the plate
Nothing left to give or take
Waiting for the dawn to break in two

But the sun don't dry nothing
And the waterfalls keep coming
And tears keep breaking through

At least we'll try (try)
Try to make it
When you're living right
But it's going wrong
We try (try)
Try to make it
When you feel like you're living on dead end road
We still try, try, try, try

If I should die before I wake
Would tears wash away mistakes?
My troubles should be made to fade to nothing
'Cause I don't want to be the one
To turn the lights off on love
I just wanna be above something

But the sun don't dry nothing
And the waterfalls keep coming
And tears keep breaking through

But least we'll try (try)
Try to make it
When you're living right
But it's going wrong
We'll try, yeah (try)
Try to make it
When you feel like you're living on dead end road
We still try, try, try, try
We still try

If we just try
If we just try something, yeah
At least we'll love
At least we'll love something

When you feel like you're living on dead end road
You gotta try, baby, try, try (try, baby)
Try, try, try, try, try
Oh, yeah, try, oh, yeah (try, baby)
Try, try, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Turn my mic up

Is it insane?
My life's in your love's hands
Is it insane?
You got a hold on me
When you're near
All of me trembles
Slightest touch
And I'm no good
When you walk out of my door
I want you more

Is it insane?
I was the one who called them fools
For being blinded by love
Now it's me
Who can't break free

Even though you're with her
I still feel you in me
And I know when you kiss her
You're wishing that it was me

Ain't gon' let me down
Ain't gon' break my heart, baby
Only gonna love me back
Only gon' fill me up, yeah
Never gon' f*ck it up, no way
Definitely drive me wild
Definitely give me what I need
Never gon' hold me back
Never gon' be another
I can't wait to love you

Ooh, no limit to the things that I do
Nobody else can say it ain't true
I am one in a billion
You are one in a billion
We got one in a billion
No limit to the things that you do
Everybody in the world knows it's true
You are one in a billion
I am one in a billion
We got one in a billion

And I ain't gon' let you go
Ain't gon' leave you alone in this cruel, cruel world
Never, I'm your girl
Never, I'm your woman, baby
Only you light the night, you're my star
And you definitely taken me through the dark
And I definitely follow you where you are
Don't ever tell your mother
All the ways that I love ya
There will another be another, baby, no

Ooh, no limit to the things that I do
(No limit to the things that I do)
Nobody else can say it ain't true
(Nobody else can say it)
I am one in a billion (yes, I am)
You are one in a billion (yes, you are)
We got one in a billion (baby)
No limit to the things that you do
(No limit to the things that I do)
Everybody in the world knows it's true
(Everybody knows it's true, yeah)
You are one in a billion (yes, you are)
I am one in a billion (yes, I am)
We got one in a billion (baby)

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Ohh, ohh

I hear your voice and it's all around me
I can't contain all the ways you make me feel
I love when you call my name

Even if we're gone for miles and hours
There's only one thing that I need
Only one word to say
I love when you call my name

And I want you to know, I know that this is so rare
It's so unbelievable, it's almost unfair
So good
I love when you call my name

And we
Got so much to give
And we
Sure 'nuff got it good
Love when you call my name

So good (so good)
Love when you call my name
Love, my name

And I want you to know, I know that this is so rare
It's so unbelievable, it's almost unfair
So good
Love when you call my name

And we
Got so much to give
And we
Sure 'nuff got it good
Love when you call my name

Love when you call my name
Love when you call my name

I am nothing
Without you here
With you I love
Without fear
Nothing, oh, nothing
They say about you
Has meaning to me

We won't let nothing
Take this sweet something
'Cause I don't want nothing (nothing)
Nothing, only you

For you I'll come
Guns blazing
Crazy as love is
It's amazing
We found good love
I found my best friend
And I love you

We won't let nothing
Take our sweet something
'Cause I don't want nothing (nothing)
Nothing (no one), only you

I, I been walking in the snow
Looking for myself in the cold
You, you been afraid of the night
Looking for the morning on your own

The sun always brings the light
Time always brings a change
We planted seeds inside
Now we're dancing in the rain
Growing up slowly over the hills
Winter is over
Here come the daffodils

I feel like, I can finally let it be
Let my intentions go, let them come to me
And if you, you see the clouds of your prayers
Just hold me close and know better days are ahead

The sun always brings the light
Time always bring a change
We planted seeds inside
Now we're dancing in the rain
Growing up slowly over the hills
Winter is over
Here come the daffodils, 'ils
Here come the daffodils
All day long we lay

Growing up slowly over the hills
Winter is over
Here come the daffodils

Oh, oh, oh, yeah (here they come)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (do you feel it growing?)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (can you feel it coming?)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, yeah (winter is over)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (here they come, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (can you feel it coming?)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

It's over, winter is over

Old memories
They don't go away
They show up on Christmas Eve
And leave you wishing for childhood days
The lights on a tree, gifts on display
Yeah, it only gets stronger with age
Old memories, they don't go away

Old holiday songs (yeah)
They bring all the tears
Decorate the empty rooms
And take you back to the joyful years
Friends that you made (yeah), carols you sang (yeah)
Like a symphony just for your ears
Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears (uh-huh, uh-huh)

It's like magic, I'm telling ya
Makes you sentimental (that's right)
It brings out all the best in ya
You ain't gon' ever let go

Old photographs
Never fade away
They're just frozen there in time
Locked in pretty picture frames
The hands that we held (yeah), the love we gave (yeah)
It's all black and white, that you can't change
Old photographs never fade away

It's like magic, I'm telling ya
Makes you sentimental (yeah)
It brings out all the best in ya
You ain't gon' ever let go

Look at me lost in yesterday (I see you)
Ever since you've been gone
Feels like Christmas don't feel the same
Snow doesn't fall (yeah), my heart's out of place (yeah)
And it only gets stronger with age
Old memories (uh-huh) of you and me
They don't go away

Take off your coat
Take off your clichés
Show off a side that no one sees
You got the whole world right here in your pocket
Chasing those stardust melodies

So if you wanna live on
You gotta put on your finest
If you wanna sing your song
You gotta put the time into timeless
If you wanna take it all
Let the chandeliers fall (fall)
While you're standing tall like the Taj Mahal
Be unforgettable
Like Nat King Cole
Like Nat King Cole

There are no endings
There are no yesterdays
When you hit a chord that everyone hears
Emeralds and rubies
Black and white movies
They never truly fade away
'Cause greatness never disappears

So if you wanna live on
You gotta put on your finest
If you wanna sing your song
You gotta put the time into timeless
If you wanna take it all
Let the chandeliers fall (fall)
While we standing tall like the Taj Mahal
Be unforgettable
Like Nat King Cole

We take the moment by storm
Like Nat king Cole (oh, yeah)
Like Nat King Cole
We're unforgettable
Like Nat King Cole
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Show off, show off (show off)
Show off, show off (show off)

Somebody never told me there's a last time for everything
Even a landslide is an opening
Turning metal into gold, silver lining
Somebody never told me

Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live
Like you and I
Lightning never striking twice
Is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forever anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow
For just today

Somebody never told me there's a first time for everything
It's a free fall, discovering
On the day you get that call
And the waiting is over, it all changes
In the blink of an eye

Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live
Like you and I
Lightning never striking twice
Is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait (wait)
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forever anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow (forget about tomorrow)
Just for today

Forget about tomorrow
Just for today
Just for today

Ohh (ohh)
Just for today

Sometimes we're doing good
Sometimes it feels so bad
Sometimes we give up the fight
Sometimes we can't see the light, right

You know how lovers flow
You know how lovers grow
Sometimes we gotta explode
Come on, baby, you know how love goes

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We are like water, like water
Made to survive

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We're part of each other, like water
You're giving me life

You know I got you, babe
Even on cloudy days
Into the rain, I may cry
Still you're the love of my life, babe

I'll take you anywhere
Just say, I'll take you there
Out to the moon and the sea
Babe, I'm your galaxy
Come to me

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We are like water, like water
Made to survive

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We're part of each other, like water
You're giving me life

Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We're part of each other, like water
Made to survive

And if the drought hits tonight
Do not fear because you and I
We're part of each other, like water
You're giving me life

[Instrumental]
