Mary J. Blige ~No Happy Holidays~

[abcdefghijklmno2256]

I remember buying this cd back in 99, when I heard this song.....it rocked my whole fuckin world. It opened my eyes to the lies I was being fed. I immediately had an epiphany and decided to no longer put up with my s/o at the time stupid ass. I can sit here years later and say (happily married) this song saved my soul, sanity and nerves. It was like she was talkin directly to MEEEE! Im not sure if she will even read this but I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU MARY J. BLIGE!

[Luchiano]

This song speaks volumes...someone is dealing with this BS!

[megavwfwood]

Mary J gives her life on every album she makes: i guess that's why she has such a huge following. Because unlike other artists who puts a wall between them and everyone else: Mary's just 1 of the peeps. She, along with Pattie L, Whitney H and Aretha F should be the face of all Sistahs out there. I also put Loretta Devine w/them: just something about her eyes and her smile jus sayin

[babygurl7001]

Truth be told, i love all her fuckin songs!!

[mzteetee26]

S/O to every lady who's been thru this!

[mrslachai]

love this song this memories not gone cry not lookin these song speak when your going through certain things in your life mary hit it right on the nose

[starberry35]

I love Mary she put some things on your mind, her songs touches Your mind, heart, and your soul.And most of all lifts your sprits.  Thank God for her.

[kennyboomyluv]

this is my stuff!!! It helped me to get out of some tuff relationships!!! luv u Mary!!! I"m happy with life now bcuz of her!!!!

[vennishatemple]

" what goes aroucomes around , but maybe next time ill be on your side lovin dat part

[abivens123]

i can't fathom living this life without being number one. This is finally goodbye I pray to god you live a happy life cause loving you just aint right make her your wife.

[momonwilson]

Everyone for gets the lesson here "If what goes around, comes around maybe next time I'll be on the other side." Be careful what you do...

[tavuchnuche]

this song right here is something i go through too many times cuz i play but dont let him stay....i kick him out cuz i know better its just for a while and then he gone someone sees what i am saying and everybody else is dumb

[Timario007]

shit was talkin 2 me on this track i done shit like dis when i heard it i was like WTF

[n1nar0ss]

"Your family has never met me..and you've never met mine"....WHAT???? MJB is singing the blues..pure,raw and uncut...only she can bring it like this....

[butterflii08]

This song is the truth, damn. People can say to be in a situation like this is wrong, but it still happens. When you in love or love someone, that's what it is. Your mind know it's wrong, but your heart don't give a fuck, for real. That's why it's better to know what's going on up front, BEFORE you start to catch feelings for that person. I wouldn't even want a man to leave his family for me. The same shit can turn around and happen to me!

[chewpoi]

@butterflii08 It's a tough call when heart & mind disagree.

[MsMzkiki]

yeah this song is my shit from the Mary album and not looking and her and Aretha Franklin Mary j is the queen of hip hop for real and always keep real with her fan.

[Redbone7414]

I csn not fathom living this life without being #1, this is finally goodbye, I pray to GOD u live a happy life!

[KATHERINE5066]

Mary was really being real when she put this down>What I cant understand is why do we as people walk around judging people......I looked at some of these negative comments....smdh!We dont own men and lying cheating stealing and being judgemental is a sin.Most people who get offend are the people who have been played and the ones who get defensive are the guilty ones....which one are you?I get so tired of scorned women putting down other women!!!At least Mary decided that she wasnt gone be #2

[kingszada]

where they do that at

[CAB4SHO]

@kingszada LOL!!!

[MsMzkiki]

this is my shit 

[gbwcrockett84]

This is finally goodbye... I pray to God you live a happy life, cus loving you just ain't right make her your wife! That stands out to me the most in the song! Get it Mary J. Blige!!! Love you <3

[MzBda1datdoit]

I feel this very strongly. How is it little boys always get away with this? Especially when they are suppose to be men......I just don't get it. I need some understanding

[mpope409]

@MzBda1datdoit Forget about the little boys. How about the little girls that allow themselves to be the other woman. Get your own man, girl!

[TheLadyKaaay]

I love this song

[MrDuffy16]

that was awful and stupid

[KEJOHNSON487]

PLENTY FOLKS GO THRU THIS GROOVE THRU THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!

[2279731]

I fell in love with a person I thought was a man but all reality,he just was telling me what he thought i wanted to heard, but quess what i done woke up and face reality he was just about his self,he took advantage of good women I 4 give him but i'll never 4 get...my heart is good so i wish him all the best in life....that's y I love u mary...What goes around comes around,but next time,I'll be on the other side kno that...happy holiday to all...!

[htownhomie06]

Ladies: never believe a man who tells u he'll leave his family 4 u (wishful thinking), lol!

[quitafloyd1]

I am your biggest fan.

[ALI85day]

does any1 know about the song she had with Joe called Playa shit its on this same CD

[chinkyeyes86]

@ALI85day Its with K.C. from Jodeci and its on the MARY album...

[princesskatrina23]

yes i love that one too.

[DDFentertainment]

This is one of the most honest and vulnerable songs she has EVER written....it faces the reality and truth of alot of relationships ! Mary is truly the voice of alot of women and men too !!

[taykay215]

@DDFentertainment Mary didnt write this song. It was written by two ladies that go by the name of Anthem. Just thought Id share.

[iliketheway]

@taykay215 Wrong.....she wrote it with------>(Writers: Blige, Griffin, Geter)

[rrivers36]

this song is haunting and i can relate.."ladies pay closes attention to your relationship" or one day you will wake up to one of these, feeling like being stuck in the twlightzone trying to figure out what just happen!

[firstladyignite2010]

Mary is simply showing the reasons, why a individual should never get involved in a relationship with someone who is already in a relationship. Excuses is all you get and alot of time alone.

[whoiscarlito]

This was probably the most underrated track on this album.

[Lashellism]

As they say,One won't ,one will and what comes around goes around

[MoralOrder1]

Wow! This woman sings some real shit. I've been through this before. Its messed up. Real bad. I hate that shit....having game run on me.

[MoralOrder1]

Wow! This woman sings some real shit. I've been through this before. Its messed up. Real bad.

[kandiilishious]

YOU HAVE TOLOVE MARY SHE IS A REAL ARTIST HER SONGS MAKE YOU THINK AND ASLSO RELATE TO REAL LIFE STRUGGLES.. SHE IS A OUTSTANDING ARTIST QUEEN OF R&B

[MsLela19]

I luv Mary J cuz her music will help you get through some shit!!!especially this song its like muthafuckin reality if you a bitch livin a fantasy life!!!

[DDFentertainment]

I hope she adds this song to her Fall 2010 setlist !!!! Simply Amazing and so true....

[MsAshley91]

i went through this twice smh . . . shame on me but this song help me alot , you just have to wake up , especially when you always second. ladies if he say he leaving her dnt even mess wit them , even if you want to stay you will always be second. they may be going through a rough patch your just what he needs or wants for the moment trust me when things are going good you wont here from him. and you will always be hidden the other woman .

[ladypelli]

@MsAshley91

going through the shit now...know i need to leave and believe me the truth hurts but sometimes thats the shit u need...

[SADEJINKA83]

@ladypelli Yeah I know it's easier said than done (leaving,,, movin on). I've been there, cried n cried listening to this song,, The love I never had,, Missing you,,n a few more frm Mary. Word of advise, it can be done, stay strong, love urself (more than the guy) n move on. Prayer works.. Realtalk :-)

[Die4KC]

@MsAshley91 I agree 100%. You should never have to share someone you love with someone else. We, as women, are too special and loving for part time loving.

[babybackmama5]

[Piercelova34]

Mary kills this song. Whoever wrote these lyrics, kudos to you!!

[1rnbfan]

"what goes around comes around, but maybe next time, i'll be on the other side." My favortive line. No matter what, it gets hard to just stop lovin that person.

[kennethgabriel]

@1rnbfan They're like a relapse of the cold. They come back when you least expect it and they just sweep you away. They infect your body, mind, and your soul and it's takes days to get over them again. You don't forget though.

[1rnbfan]

@kennethgabriel Well said my man, well said.

[vidaa11]

Mary is like the finest, most beautiful woman in the world to me. I would love to meet and get a kiss from her. LOl.

I've had the experience....this song expresses one of life's real situations. I used to listen to this album in middle school - 8th grade to be exact when it came out in 1999; I was thirteen sing this stuff not knowing that I would be in a related situation. Real talk, real life. Thank God for change and transition, especially for Mary at this time of her career.

[LeftEye2pac]

0:30, she is beautiful.

[SoulSir]

I luv this tune.

[Sikabaa1]

Blige. From a man piont of view Mary is soooo AWESOME.........She is here for Men and Women.

[Piercelovah34]

Aww...that brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for sticking around. I feel you about Mary. I mean, I never went through these lyrics but when she sings you have no other choice but to feel her. Good luck in life goblinphilly.

[tange1986]

this song is so true all the way nigga where were u lol

[dcbigpimp2k1]

Idiot! I never said she didn't have an attractive body. I was saying that I prefer something different. BTW your homophobia is disturbing. You realize most ppl evolve into what they detest.

[dcbigpimp2k1]

So I guess you're not on her short list for a Christmas card. Of all the comments on YouTube, you picked this one to insult? What a degenerate!!

[00Serenity]

Lovin dis song im feelin da words n everything. Sometimes u jus ave 2 let 2 stop hurtin...

[mrtalktome]

aint that da truth

[mrtalktome]

i kno what u mean

[dcbigpimp2k1]

Physically, Mary's body is not the one I would choose at the club. But if her music is a true depiction of her, I would 'wife' her immediately. I think as a whole she is HOT!!

[vickiet06]

no she's sayin Christmas you weren't with me

[reneetabon2]

This song right here im sure a lot of women can relate to!I know I can!

[SDOUGLAS1222]

i can, but i has to straighten his ass out. either you gone be around for occasions or you can be the fcuk out lol

[urstruly83]

This is hot

[te5041]

yEA gRALYN TOUGH TIMES

[grayln]

[urstruly83]

[prettiestcourtney]

[grayln]

[raven2323]

This song is the truth. It let's you know if he's only selling you a dream.
