Knock You Down

Not again

Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me

Keep rockin' and keep knockin'

Whether you're Louboutin it up or Reebokin'

You see the hate that they serving on a platter

So what we gon' have dessert or disaster?

I never thought I'd be in love like this

When I look at you my mind goes on a trip

Then you came in and knocked me on my face

Feels like I'm in a race but I already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did (As hard as I did, yeah)

You got me thinking 'bout our life, our house and kids

Yeah, every morning I look at you and smile

'Cause boy you came around

And you knocked me down, knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around, love comes around)

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

Sometimes love comes around

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

I never thought I'd hear myself say

Y'all go ahead

I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today (Kick it with my girl today)

I used to be commander in chief on my pimp ship, flying high (Flying high)

Till I met this pretty little missile who shot me out the sky (Oh, who shot me out the sky)

So now I'm crashing (Don't know how it happened)

But I know it feels so damn good

Said if I could go back and (Make it happen faster)

Don't you know I would, baby, if I could

Miss independent, to the fullest, the load never too much

She helping me pull it, she shot the bullet that ended that life

I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight, girl

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around, love comes around)

(Aye, oh, it comes around)

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

(Oh, when it knocks you down, oh)

Sometimes love comes around

(Ooh yeah, comes around, around)

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

Ooh, when it knocks you down, knocks you down

Tell me now can you make it past your Caspers

So we can finally fly off into NASA

You was always the cheerleader of my dreams

To seem to only date the head of football teams

And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing

We were never meant to be, baby, we just happened

So please don't mess up the trick

Hey young world, I'm the new Slick Rick

They say I move too quick but we can't let this moment pass us

Let the hourglass pass right into ashes

Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses

So I wrote this love letter right before my classes

How could a goddess ask someone that's only average for advice?

OMG, you listen to that bitch?

Woe is me, baby, this is tragic

'Cause we had it, we was magic

I was flying, now I'm crashing

This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson

Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson

You should leave your boyfriend now, I'ma ask him

So you gotta take the good with the bad, happy and the sad

Or will you bring a better future than I had in the past

Oh, 'cause I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did

I don't wanna fall back on my face again

I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call

And if it hits better make it worth the fall

When it comes around, hey

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around, love comes around)

(Comes around, oh)

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

(Get back up when it knocks you down, oh)

Sometimes love comes around (When love comes around)

(When love comes around)

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

(When it knocks you down)

Knocks you down

Won't see it coming when it happens

But when it happens, you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now

You see when love comes and knocks you down

(Oh, oh when it knocks you down)

Won't see it coming when it happens

But when it happens, you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now

You see when love comes and knocks you down

Yeah
