“You” – Monifah

It’s not #MusicMonday and I have no damn idea why okay, lies, there’s a reason this song is on repeat again after so many years but whatever, that’s none of your business right now but I cannot, cannot stop playing this.  The whole beat, the lyrics, I swear it touches your soul.  It’s so rare to find a song nowadays that speaks volumes like this one does.  It just bangs.  And bangs, and bangs.  Listen here and sing along below.  R.I.P. to Heavy D and respects to him for getting Monifah started.

I want you
I want you
I want you

And if the sun don’t shine, you brighten up my day
And if the rain should fall, it never seems to fall my way
And when it’s cold outside, you’re there to keep me warm
Those days I’m feeling weak, you make me feel so strong

You seem to bring out the best in me now
My heart can sing ‘cuz you make me so happy
No one else can do, no they won’t do
The things you do for me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, yeah

Baby, you blow my mind every day and night
You got me paralyzed makes me feel so good inside

And if the sun don’t shine, you brighten up my day
And if the rain should fall, it never seems to fall my way
And when it’s cold outside, you’re there to keep me warm
Those days I’m feeling weak, you make me feel so strong

Never have I felt a love so strong would stand
The test of time, tell me how could I go on
If you took your love away, so far away
There would only be cloudy days
Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah

Baby, you blow my mind every day and night
You got me paralyzed makes me feel so good inside

And if the sun don’t shine, you brighten up my day
And if the rain should fall, it never seems to fall my way
And when it’s cold outside, you’re there to keep me warm
Those days I’m feeling weak, you make me feel so strong
