Lyrics
I was the one sleepin' all alone
When u were at the party
I was the one waitin' by the phone
When u were with somebody
Now here u come again with your heart in your hands
Confessin' all of your sins, yeah
The same tired line that I've heard a dozen times
But still I've got 2 give in
Chorus:
Cuz when u love somebody
Every now and then it might rain
When u love somebody
With every sun shower there's pain
Whenever something's lost, something's gained
When u love somebody
When u love someone
U were the one lookin' 4 some action
I was just lookin' 4 u
"Who needs love when u got protection"
Quote, unquote your point of view
All my partners say that I need 2 dismiss ya
Until they see u smile (such a pretty smile)
All them fools are buggin' cuz they just want your lovin'
In the backseat, huh, 4 a little while (but I don't care)
Chorus
(When u love somebody)
(Might rain)
Yeah, yea
Check me out on the floor
So what, u got me open
Yeah, do your dance
But I'm the one u're dancin' 4
And u know this
Round and round, don't stop it
And u know this, yeah, yeah
Up and down, u got it
Cuz when u love somebody (when u love somebody)
Every now and then it might rain (now and then it might rain)
When u love somebody
With every sun shower there's pain
(Baby, a little pain, a little pain, yeah)
Whenever something's lost, something's gained
(Every now and then u got 2 think about what u gain) (think u
Don't?)
When u love somebody (yeah) (when u love somebody)
Every now and then it might rain (might rain)
When u love somebody (pourin' down, down on me)
With every sun shower there's pain (come on, wet me rain)
Whenever something's lost, something's gained (something's
Gained)
When u love somebody, yeah
When u love somebody {x7}
(So sweet)
(It's complete)
Well (so nice)
(It's paradise)
Round and round, don't stop it
Round and round, don't stop the pounds
Cuz a brutha gettin' down here lately
Freedom agrees with us all, u see
In a state of mind that's weightless
See, on the quantum tip I flipped on the notion
When the adam split, we got eve
Duality's now a groupie with a backstage pass
And they ain't gonna leave till they get some
From grace we fall
Referring 2 the objects on the wall
I'd picture my hat, my coat, my balls
Around and round (round and round) {x2}
Huh, don't stop the pounds (don't stop the pounds)
Yeah, cuz a brutha gettin' down here lately
