@babygirladdy also because of tense... at the time she's speaking of she "was" a girl and he was a man - past tense. some of her use of terms is hip hop in this and some is tense.
it also says you was dead wrong said you was right and asome more r wrong cuz i have da cd and they have the lyrics but i luv this song so much good job
Mariah Carey all day everyday...she calls Stevie Wonder a musical genius....but Mariah Carey's my musical genius....the baddest bitch out dere...dont care what nobody say
omg its a good song and really it doesnt matter...its about she was young and fell in love too fast, she didnt understand what was going on so she just wished she was never in the relationship."like a kid i wish i could fly away" wow...but anyway its a mega good song!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
kkhloe11 okai there she means that her sister is obsessed and then she means that MARIAH CAREY is hot and has a good voice .....kkhloe11 ur stupid u idoit why would he/she say that about her sis ur faggit
I really hope this is the 4th single!!! The 3rd is going to be "love story". This song is not only going to be #1, but it will be the best song of the year because soooo many people can relate to it, has POWERFUL lyrics, and the beat is AWESOME.
real lyrics for verse1,chorus & verse2: I was a girl you was "The Man" I was too yound to understand I was naive I just believed everything that you told me Said you were strong,protecting me Then I found out that you were weak Keeping me there under your thumb Cause you were scared that I'd become much More than you could handle Shining like a chandelier That decorated every room inside the private Hell we built and I dealt with it Like a kid I wished I could fly away but instead I
Kept my tears inside cause I knew if I Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest of my Life with you I finally built up the strength To walk away don't regret it But I still live with the side effects Wakin' up scared some nights Still dreaming 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still a little defensive thinking Folks be tryin' to run my life Still a little depressed inside I fake a smile And deal with the side effects Side effects(3X)
Vacant inside,no one was there Couldn't be real,had to keep quiet Once in a while put up a fight it's just too much Night after night After a while I would just lie You were dead wrong said you were right Did what I could just to survive Couldn't believe this was my life Flickering like a candle Doing my best to handle Sleeping with the enemy aware that he was smothering Every last part of me So I broke away and finally found the strength to breathe
If I was a chic, lol, I'd be a badd azz chic but I would rock the hell out of this in the car and keep the windows down low enough just to see my shades. Pitch black tint, two door G37s, black on black - can you imagine a bad ass chic pulling up to a store or something in that car with this song blastin. She get out with a phat a@@ and an attitude! THat's the chic I want!
NOPE... this is one of the best songs.... WE have I Stay in Love, Cruise Control, Side Effects, Im That Chick, Bye Bye and Last Kiss.... I love the ALBUM.... I cant sleep unless I have heard it all....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT EXACTLY WENT ON WITH THAT TOMMY EX-HUSBAND OF HERS? i thought they divorced years ago so why is she still singing about him? did he abuse her of something? wb anyone thanx
It takes a long time to get over the shock of someone manipulating and abusing your mind. It's not something easily understood unless it happens to you. I hope it never does:)
i love this song.. its really good and i cud listen to it for hours lol. mariahs got a loverli voice and goes well with jeezy if u get mee.. love the song. love mariah.. Loveee itt and yhh the rap and pop goes great.. this is def gunnna bee the new "umbrella" off the yearrr.. x
friggin hell this song is amazin...has a really good beat (vibe-acious haha) plus amazin vocals and breath control....PURE talent can definatly relate....mmmmmwah mariah..(air kisses lol) x thankyou x
Oh my God! This song just told me something I needed to hear at this point in my life. Mariah is awesome. It touched my heart. Plus, IT BUMPS! Her new album is nothing less than what I expected-perfection!
Mariah Carey: Often imitated NEVER duplicated!! Mariah Carey aka Mimi aka MC aka The Voice aka Miss #18 aka The Biggest Selling Female Artist of all time is on FIRE right now and the haters need to work overtime because there is no stoping the AMAZING singer!
hell no! those aint got migrate, ill be loving u long time, im that chick, side effects, ooc, cruise control, love story, bye bye, and side effects. WOAH THAT WAS A HANDFUL! WOW I JUST REALISED THAT THIS ALBUM HAS NO BAD SONGS ANS THEY ARE ALL INCREDIBLE! i cant believe mariah did it again. i mean im gonna be listenong to this forver, a true claasic, and best album of the year!
Scott Storch has been doin stuff for lil wayne including Drought 3 (which is amazing)and he just did that lloyd and fat joe, I wont tell. I think Timbo is a better producer but Storch is right on up there.
This song is AMAZING! Mimi, if u ever read this, Remember this - this song is what E=MC2 lacked, when I got to this I was like OMFG there's the new umbrella of the year!
this sounds kind of like her first marriage to tony. hmmmm?

@inspireradavstatyer Yes, her use of "was" is using hip hop slang to give the song that feel and it was intentional.

LOVIN THIS SONG FOR THE LONGEST TIME!! :) Flickering like a candle
Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy
Whether he was smothering every last part of me
So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave
Still kept the tears inside
Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying
For the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects

Why does she sing "You WAS a man"? When I went to school in my non-english speaking country, I was taught that the correct grammar was "You WERE".
inspireradavstatyer 3 years ago
It's common colloquial language?
The lyrics of many songs don't follow standard english.
thisstarshinesbright 3 years ago
What is colloquial language? Doesn't it sounds strange for a english speaking person so hear "You was..."
I know many songs don't follow grammar rules, but I still think songs such as "The way I are" are really confusing.

Im pretty sure she does say "you were", shes saying it in a sarcastic manner, as in you "were" (but not really) the man. Kinda hard to explain.
