[[center]Number One"
(feat. Kanye West)

Ooh I promise not to do it again
I promise not to do it

You can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
Cuz you can't see all I do
To keep you from knowing the things I do
Like erase my phone
And keep it out of town
I keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should have known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me now

You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time
But this is the last time
Don't make me over
Cuz I can be faithful
Baby you're my number one
You're my number one

Now who is she?
What's her name?
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this
We fight about that
You hang up the phone and call me right back
Well I'll never be something I'm not
Please don't throw away what we've got
Cuz we've been together for way too long
I was playing around but I'm coming home

You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (no one above you)
I said it the last time (hey, hey)
But this is the last time
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (baby)
You're my number one

[Kanye's Rap]
I keep you laced up so you aint gotta borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on eBay --baby why is they frontin'?
They be on the internet but they never cop nothin'
I keep you in Girl what is those on your toes?
And your neck staying froze off that rose colored gold
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own and he just be seeing shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off he ask me who is you playin' wit?
But I know he love you he told me you was his favorite

You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (above you)
I said it the last time (said it the last time)
But this is the last time (hey hey hey yeah)
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (oh baby)
You're my number one

You're making it hard for me
You're messing up everything
You tell me I gotta leave
Say we over
You saw that she came over
Came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover
Say we over

I promise I won't cheat
I promise I won't lie
I promise I'll act right
Say we over
You can't tell me
I can't have you
I can't have that
We aint over

Hey, it aint over baby
We aint over
Oh you don't need to go it's not over
We aint over
Oh...
We aint over
Oh it's gonna be alright now don't go now[/center]

I thought "SO high" is his latest release.

Baby since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
You proved my fantasies of love could really be

Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9

(You've got me up so high) So high
(My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
(You've got me up so high) Oh
(My shoes are scraping the sky)

Maybe later we can go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
And we can't get much closer to God than where we are

We'll go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9

(You've got me up so high) So high
(My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
(You've got me up so high) Oh
(My shoes are scraping the sky)

Ooh...yeah
Ooh...oh hey

Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazin'
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky

You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky ooh...ooh...
Yeah...

This is how love's supposed to be
This is how, this is how love's supposed to be, yeah
Let's go to the moon baby, ooh
Let's go to the moon baby, yeah
Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby
So high.

I Like the song. I like John legend. He's cute and talented. ALicia keys has a crush on him.
I like the ordinary people song too. Did u see him at the BET awards performing with Stevie Wonder? It was so sweet.

John Legend's songs is wack, I am sorry to offend anyone but thats how i feel about him

thats real harsh....how can u say he's whack....well thats ur opinion..


i really do think he's one of the few talented artistes out dere....cuz they dnt make em like they used to b4...

that broda's music should be sang in the 70's not now.

Laide is right. He's talented. Just like Kanye west, (i wuv him).

@hot angel..ur so right...lets not even start talking about kanye west..cuz u wont be able to stop me...

not that i agree with u..but whats wrong with 70's music?

i am not saying he is not talented but his music is like old skool. That take it slow was just like listening to my dads old records.

Terry, you do realise that the songs in the seventies make sense right? I love his songs because they makes sense, and take u along. you just have to feel the song, let the song register in your brain and you'll love it. I Like his songs.

laide o:


@hot angel..your so right...lets not even start talking about kanye west..because u wont be able to stop me...

You like kanye west?? I love him.

okay Angel,

this thread is for john legend not kanye west

Lets critize or praise him

@ terry...by 'take it slow' u probably mean 'ordinary people'..i still havnt met anyone who duznt like that song..and like i said...what wrong with 70's music...and am curious to know which musicians u like..



@hot-angel...i love him more than u do....ive got mad love 4 him..love his music....i think he's just the cutest thing...he's real creative..love his dress sense...and he's real intelligent..

True talk terry. John legend is Cute and talented.

that music ordinary people yeah, is too old school for me, i didnt feel that song, It was like i was sitting down with my dad to listen to the songs when he was young.

You are into hip-hop and rap i see.

yeah and more of the island songs ( reggae and carribean)

I feel you bro. I like those songs too, but u just gat to feel the spirit once in a while.

John Legend is da man. I love the way he infuses church ballads into contemporary R&b songs. He makes u hear contemporary songs without loosing feel of the ol skool (church...thats our roots).
John Legend Rocks!! So is kanye and all them fellaz at G.O.O.D (Gettin out our dreams) label.

terry:

that brother's music should be sang in the 70's not now.

totally agree, and who says hes cute..ordinary people, that song annoys me, and he needs to do summin with his hair..

thanks i thought i was the only one on this issue.

arghh

"baby when i used to love u"..arghhh
