U Know (Dallas Austin Mix)
Boyz II Men · The Remix Collection
I've known it for awhile
I wasn't naive to the news
My mind just couldn't walk a mile
I only see you with me
'Cause I know the things you like
I know all that you believe
And all the plans of your life
So take a minute to understand me
To re-evaluate your mind
I'm everything you need
And in this world a good man is hard to find
And I know you miss me
When all is said and done
You'll think about this day
And then you'll realize I was the one
Chorus:
You know that all you need is in me and
You know that my love's all right and
Baby you know I can't be denied girl
You know, ohh you know, you know
Gave you all a man could give ya,
Made sure I found the time,
To keep it all together,
But the way you're treating me ain't right
(can't understand it)
Why you're doing me the way you're doing,
Do you enjoy to see our love fade away
Can't face the world without ya
Can't even sleep at night
Gave you all that treasured
And I tried to love you will all my might
And I know you'll miss me when all is said and done
You'll think about this day and realize I was the one
You know
Chorus (repeats six times)
U Know (Dallas Austin Mix)
Boyz II Men's 'U Know' stands as a defining track from their 2001 'The Remix Collection,' showcasing the group's signature smooth R&B vocal harmonies reimagined by producer Dallas Austin. While the original 'U Know' is a staple of their discography, this specific mix highlights the duo's ability to blend soulful melodies with contemporary production techniques popular in the early 2000s. The recording captures the essence of their collaborative work, featuring the intricate interplay between Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, whose chemistry remains a hallmark of their career. Released alongside other remixes from the era, this version serves as a testament to the group's enduring influence on the R&B genre and their commitment to exploring new sonic landscapes while maintaining their emotional core.
