Lyrics:

 

Once the love was strong
Now it’s long, long gone
Cause the pain, pain now as a storm
I would make, growing old
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

I’ve been thinking bout, I’ve been thinking bout
I’ve been thinking bout you lately
Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted to your love, feel I need another dose
I know it’s a feeling that should be long gone
Things seem to come up when I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seemed so long
Since I heard your voice, where did the king go wrong?
Emotions that, that they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls I need your warm
The taste of your mouth girl I need your warm
Good food and love I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer so I’m a keep dreaming on
It’s kind of like ‘The Breakup’ with Jen and Vince Vaughn

 

Once the love was strong
Now it’s long, long gone
Cause the pain, pain now as a storm
I would make, growing old
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

They say you don’t know, know, know what you got
Till what u got is gone
Yeah I write such and such, yo a lot but the feelings not as strong
We were like 2 birds that were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Some days I would try but wasn’t able to cry
I never been good at saying goodbye
I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over you, my God
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it’s only right that I got my heart robbed
The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it reminds me of you
Take a look at the moon it reminds me of you
Hope the stars and the gods align me and you
We do what we do and we do what we live
I love this way cause I got it as a kid
With so much to give from it, I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smeared
My friends say it was a change for the better
But I say, girl you changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun we can sing this together

Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
Cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

 

 

Youtube上看到一段很漂亮的hiphop, 音乐即是Common的I Want You. 搜歌的时候约略看了一眼关于Common的介绍，如果要找一首无关sex,cash,violence的hiphop song, 可能只有在Common的专辑里了.

 

某松鼠说推荐本书吧，最近读的有没有好的。真的有，推荐了《项塔兰》给她。图书馆看到这本书的时候，它们崭新的摆在书架上，显然无人问津的样子，因为，实在是，太厚了，以至于我完全可以说，这是本一斤重的小说。重要的是，翻译地很流畅，在当下翻译小说里这种贴切不做作其实很难得，如像我一样会比照同一本小说的80/90年代译本。结果那天背了1斤半的书回家。不做冗长介绍，项塔兰本身就是催人的魔咒。
