If I aint got nothing, I got you
If I aint got something I dont give a damn, cause I got it with you
I dont know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two
And its me and you, thats all well have when the world is through

Cause baby we aint got nothing without love

Darling you got enough for the both of us
So come on baby
Make love to me
When my days look low, pull me in close and dont let me go
Make love to me
So when the worlds at war, let our love heal us all
Right now baby
Make love to me, me, me, me, me
Ohhhh ohhh, make love to me

Hey, I dont know much about guns but I, Ive been shot by you
Hey, and I dont know when Im gon die, but I hope that Im gon die by you
Hey, and I dont know much about fighting but I, I know I will fight for you
Hey, and just when I ball up my fist I realize that Im laying right next to you

Baby we aint got nothing but love

and darling you got enough for the both of us
Ohhhh make love to me
When my days look low, pull me in close and dont let me go
Make love to me

THE
So when the worlds at war, let our love heal us all
Help me let down my guard
Make love to me, me, me, me, me
Ohhh ohhh, make love to me, me, me, me

LYRICS:
I CARE
I told you how you hurt me baby, but you dont care
Now Im crying and deserted baby, but you dont care
Aint nobody tell me this is love, when youre immune to all my pain
I need you to tell me this is love, you dont care well thats ok

Well I care, I know you dont care too much

but I still care, la, la, la baby, la, la, la

Oh I care, I know you dont care too much

But I still care, la, la, baby, la, la, la ohhh

Ever since you knew your power, you made me cry

And now every time our love goes sour, you wont sympathize
You see these tears falling down to my ears, I swear you like when Im in pain
I try to tell you all my fears, you still dont care, thats ok

Well I care, I know you dont care too much

But I still care, la, la, la baby, la, la, la

Oh I care, I know you dont care too much

But I still care, la, la, baby, la, la, la ohhh

Boy maybe if you cared enough, I wouldnt have to care so much

What happened to our trust, now youre just givin up
You used to be so in love, now you dont care no more

Ooooooooooo

Well I care, I know you dont care too much

But I still care, la, la, la baby, la, la, la

Oh I care, I know you dont care too much

But I still care, la, la, baby, la, la, la ohhh

I still care (la, la, la.)

I still care (la, la, la.)
I still care (la, la, la.)
I MISS YOU
I thought that things like this get better with time
But I still need you, why is that
Youre the only image in my mind
So I still see you, around

I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but youre away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same

The words dont ever seem to come out right

But I still mean em, why is that
It hurts my pride to tell you how I feel
But I still need to, why is that

I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but youre away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same

It dont matter who you are

It is so simple, a feeling, but its everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple, a feeling, but its everything

I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but youre away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same

It dont matter who you are

It is so simple, a feeling, but its everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple, a feeling, but its everything
BEST
THING I
NEVER HAD
What goes around, comes back around, hey, my baby
What goes around, comes back around, hey, my baby, I say
What goes around, comes back around, hey, my baby
What goes around, comes back around
There was a time I thought, thought you did everything right
No lies, no wrong, boy I, must have been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it, thank God I dodged a bullet
Im so over you, so baby good lookin out
I wanted you bad, Im so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And Im gon always be the best thing you never had
Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now
So sad, youre hurt, boo hoo, oh did you expect me to care
You dont deserve my tears, I guess thats why they aint there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it, thank God I dodged a bullet
Im so over you, baby good lookin out
I wanted you bad, Im so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
I said you turned out to be the best thing I never had
and Ill never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby I bet it sucks to be you right now
I know you want me back
Its time to face the facts that Im the one that
got away
Lord knows that it will take another place,
another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
I used to want you so bad, Im so through with
that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best
thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
and I will always be the best thing you never had
Oooh best thing you never had
I used to want you so bad, Im so through with
that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best
thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oooh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
What goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
I bet it sucks to be you right now

Boy youll be the death of me
Youre my James Dean
You make me feel like Im 17
You drive too fast
You smoke too much
But that dont mean a thing
Cause Im addicted to the rush

Cause Id rather die young

Than live my life without you
Id rather not live at all
Than live my life without you

You know Ive been in love before

Youre the first one I ever seen that burns like gasoline
So light a match, turn off the lights
Im holding onto you, cause this might be our last night

Cause Id rather die young

Than live my life without you
Id rather not live at all
Than live my life without you

What Im telling you

Im giving you my life, its in your hands
And what Im gonna do
Is be a woman and you can be a man
And I wanna say
Nobody understands what weve been through
Id rather give up everything
Than to live my, live my life without you, ohhh, ohhh

Cause Id rather die young

Than live my life without you
Id rather not live at all
Than live my life without you

I would like to thank God 4 the many blessings he has given me, es-
pecially my family and friends. I love you all so much and I appreciate
the love you give me!

I took the last year off to spend time with my family and friends
and to really see the world, learn and grow. This record is a result
of the experiences I had and the different things I got to do. Cul-
tures and music--things I never knew existed.

I thank the writers, producers and friends who made this record
with me. Yall are amazing and I learned from you too. We worked
hard and had fun at the same time. This album was made with so
much love and a world of experiences. I was able to record at home
and all over the world.

Thank you to my fans! Your support and belief in me is what its all
about. I hope you love this record as much as I do! I cant wait to see
you when I go on tour. Ive missed yall!
