Jennifer Lopez - This Is Me... Then Album Lyrics

When I sleep
I have dreams about the way we used to kiss
About the way you used to hold me
And say nothing would ever harm me
When we first met
Oh, how you charmed me
Made me smile when I was down
Big pimping around the town (you and me)
Whenever they'd see you (they'd see me)
A lover and a friend to me you were how did it end
How it hurts
To not have you in my life
When I wanted to be your wife

You never know what you have
'Til it's gone, treated you wrong
For so long, now you're gone away
But the love still lives here (still)

I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)

There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

A good man you were to me
Always there to care
Would do anything in this world for me
Didn't matter, what, when, or where
(You were there)
I never thought we'd part
From the arguments we'd start
When I just wanted to get some attention (sorry)
And I'm sorry baby for bitching (if I could)
Take back the words
That I said to make you leave
I'd be down on bended knees
Asking you to please forgive me

You never know what you have
'Til it's gone, treated you wrong
For so long, now you're gone away
But the love still lives here (still)

I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)

There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

All of the good times we had together (together)
Do they mean something to you
Do you ever wish we never split ('cause I)
Still got love for you (still)

I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you (gave my heart to you)
And baby you're the only one (the only one)

There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one (still)

I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)

There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one

Would you mind if I took the time to get to know you
'Cause it's been a while since all we've been through
And even though I said my feelings wouldn't change
Nothin' stays the same, ooh

I could see when I look in your eyes you mean no harm
It's just the way you manipulate me with your charm
And I can tell the love I have for you's still strong
And there ain't nothing wrong with me still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Ooh)
I find myself still lovin' you (Yeah)
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Ooh...ooh...)
We just need to take it slow

In the past you would act as if you don't really care
You would fight and argue almost anywhere
Lookin' back sometimes I feel like such a fool
For puttin' up with you, boo

Baby, please understand me if it seems I'm confused
It's just it might take me some time to get used to
you
When I things of all the things we used to do, baby
I just find myself still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Yeah)
I find myself still lovin' you (Oh)
But I think we need to take the time to get back (No, no)
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Baby)
We just need to take it slow

I believe you and me have a chance to make this right
Oh, baby, if your heart is in it, I'm still with it
Even after all this time has passed
Oh, I'm still lovin' you

After all that we've been through (Yeah)
I find myself still lovin' you (Oh, yeah)
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing
I never give up on the love we had (Baby)
We just need to take it slow

After all that we've been through (Oh)
I find myself still lovin' you
But I think we need to take the time to get back
'Cause I never get up on a good thing (Never give up)
I never give up on the love we had (Yeah)
We just need to take it slow

[Verse 1:]
Baby when I think about
The day that we first met (the day that we first met)
Wasn't lookin for what I found
But I found you
And I'm bound to find happiness in being around you

[Chorus:]
I'm glad when I'm makin love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

[Verse 2:]
I dig the way that you get down
(you get down for 'bout)
And you still know how to hold me
(and you still know how to hold me)
Perfect blend, masculine (can't get enough now)
I think I'm in love, damn finally

[Chorus:]
I'm glad when I'm makin love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

[Bridge:]
I'm glad that you turned out to be
That certain someone special
who makes this life worth living
I'm glad you're here just loving
So say that you won't leave
Cause since the day you came
I've been glad

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
I'm glad when I'm makin love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind every time
I'm glad when you walk you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad

[Spoken:] You're perfect.

I just can't control myself,
I can't be with no one else,
it seems i'm addicted to the way you like to touch me
I don't think they understand,
why I love at your command,
from the words you speak
so deep our bodies meet i have to have you

[Chorus:]
I love you, you're perfect,
a manifestation of my dreams,
you make my body feel,
about a million different things

I think God made you for me,
a mix of passionate fidelity,
baby your so complete,
I write this song to let you know,
that you will always be to me
my lust, my love, my man,my child, my friend, and my king,

[Chorus:]
I love you, you're perfect,
a manifestation of my dreams,
you make my body feel,
about a million different things
theres no way i'd leave you, it's just not a reality
sometimes I feel like I'm living in a fantasy.

Love is life and life is livin'
It's very special
All my love...

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go, uh)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah, yeah
(Why you act like that)

It's such a shame, but I'm leavin'
Can't take the way you mistreated me
And it's crazy, but oh, baby
It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me

Uh, uh, uh
I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute, don't bounce, baby, let's talk about this, man

Well, I'm bouncin' and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good holdin' down my spot
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
The path you chose to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

The nights I waited up for you (Oh, boy)
Promises you made about comin' through
So much time you wasted
That's why I had to replace you

Uh, uh, uh
It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settlin' down
Especially me, I was creepin' all over town
I thought my tender touch could lock you down
I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
The way you used to giggle before i put it down
It's better when you angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here

Stop playin, you gamin'
I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good holdin' down my spot (Stop actin' like that)
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (Now you
know you need to stop)
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right (Here we go)

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
The path you chose to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

People make mistakes to make up, to break
To wake up cold and lonely, chill, baby, you know me
You love me, I'm like your homey
Instead of beef you come hold me
I promise I'm not a phony
Don't bounce, baby, console me, come here

Ain't nothin' you can say to me that can change my mind
I gotta let you go now
And nothin' will ever be the same, so just be on your way
Go 'head and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you no
I know your game and I'm feelin' what you do

So I'm bouncin' and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone, yeah, yeah

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
The path you chose to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

All my pride is all I have
(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
You'll be needin' me, but too bad
(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
The path you chose to run alone
(I know you're independent, you can make it on your
own)
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

I promise you
You know what I'm sayin'

Children grow and women produce and
Men go working, some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living

L-O-X, yeah (Southside Bronx)
J Lo, yeah (Southside Bronx)
Yo, yo

We off the block this year
Went from a little to a lot this year
Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear
I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from
You hear LOX in your ear
Yeah, we at the airport out
D-Block, from the block where everybody Air Forced out
With a new white tee, you fresh
Nothin' phony with us
Make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies with us (Southside Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

From In Living Color to movie scripts
To On the 6 to J.Lo to this, headline clips
I stayed grounded as the amounts roll in
I'm real, I thought I told you (I'm real)
I'm really been on Oprah (I'm real)
That's just me
Nothing phony, don't hate on me
What you get is what you see

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got (Southside Bronx)
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

I'm down to earth like this
Rockin' this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and loving it
Rumors got me laughing, kid
I love my life and my public
Put God first and can't forget to stay real (real)
To me it's like breathing (Southside Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from

It take hard work to cash checks
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, they're assets
You get back what you put out
Even if you take the good route
Can't count the hood out
After a while, you'll know who to blend with
Just keep it real with the ones you came in with
Best thing to do is stay low, LOX and J.Lo (Everyone's got to make a living)
They act like they don't but they know

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx)

Like an angel of the sky, you came
Clearing up all the clouds, the sadness and the rain
So pure and healing was the love you bring
I knew inside it felt so right

For me I've struggled all my life
To find that thing that makes it right
With you it seems I may have found
Some other kind of love

I will love you all my life
Always be by your side
And I will give you all I have
'Cause you gave me peace and joy again
Again, again

I was scared to let go and trust your love
After what I've been through I have had enough
Whisperin' through your eyes, you never said a word
But something said you're insane

For me I've struggled all my life
To find that thing that makes it right
With you it seems I may have found
Some other kind of love

I will love you all my life
Always be by your side
And I will give you all I have
'Cause you gave me peace and joy again
Again

A friend is what you'll always have in me
I'm so grateful for the man you turned out to be
And it doesn't matter who you happen to meet
You'll forever be a sacred part of me

I will love you all my life
Always be by your side
And I will give you all I have
'Cause you gave me peace and joy again
Again, again

Why'd you tell me this?
Were you looking for my reaction?
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be your girl?

You don't have to prove to me
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes
Of my own

(You belong to me)
Tell her, tell her you were foolin' (you belong to me)
You don't even know her (you belong to me)
Tell her that I love you (you belong to me)

You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that you're not sure?
(You belong to me)
Thought we'd close the book and lock the door

You don't have to prove to me
That you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own, of my own
And I can tell, I can tell, darlin'

Tell her (you belong to me) tell her that I love you
(You belong to me)
You belong, you belong, you belong to me (you belong to me)
Tell her you were foolin' (you belong to me)
Tell her she don't even know you

Tell her (you belong to me)
Tell her, you were foolin' (you belong to me)
I know you from a long time ago oh, baby (you belong to me)
Don't make me go to her house (you belong to me)
You belong, you belong, you belong to me (you belong to me)

You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me (you belong to me)
You belong to me

All I need is a place to be and a way to feel
A space to figure out where I belong
A chance to know my thoughts and find a way to show
What I feel
And if this is real
Yeah

Don't wanna disappoint you
Don't wanna let you down
'Cause that's the last thing I would do
I'm asking for your patience
I realize I could lose you
But lately I've been so confused

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
Can be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

Wondering endlessly if this is right or wrong
Or if it's just about me all along
All I need is time to search within my soul
So I can share a deeper part of me yeah

Don't want to disappoint you
Don't want to let you down
'Cause that's the last thing I would do
I'm asking for your patience
I realize I could lose you
But lately I've been so confused

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
Can be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

Baby, what's meant to be
Will surely be
If you loved me baby you would understand
But I can't give you anything
I don't have myself to give
And it's killing me inside

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
Can be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

I've been thinkin, you've been on my mind
So I've been praying, to find a way that I
Can be sure, the way that you've been showing me
Don't you, want that for me

inside of me, such a strong feeling
there comes a time in everyone's life
when you know, and everyone around you knows
that everything is changed,

there's gotta be more meaning to this
than what meets the eye

Takin' away the fact that I care about you, it's just your way
So sweet, everything seems right around you
Did you know that you had this common way about you
When you touch
And I wanna know if I could be your girl

The one put her arms around you
The one who lays her head beside you (Your girl)
The one who listens when you need it
When no one else is, I could see it (Your girl)

The one who knows when it's under control
The one who know your favorite song (Your girl)
The one you when you're feelin' lost
The one you place no one above

I'm happy to say in a lot of ways you've changed me
Makes me smile when you said you were glad the day you
found me
I'm wishin' away any hope I might ever find you
Heaven knows
