Down For Life
K-Ci & Jojo · Other Songs - K-C & Jojo
When life was so much simpler
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Oh (Ooh, yeah, yeah), uh-huh
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
DidnÂ’t have a lot of things in life, wasnÂ’t much
But we sure had some fun
(Yeah, yeah) Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
LookinÂ’ back on things, you appreciate every day
The joy and the pain and the laughter
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Oh (Ooh, yeah, yeah), huh
(Ooh, yeah) ThatÂ’s right (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
I kinda make you wish that we were still in love,
love, love
So what, what IÂ’m tryinÂ’ to say to you
Is that IÂ’m still in love with you
And I want a second try
And what, and what I wanna hear from you
Is that you feel the same way too
And that youÂ’re down with me
YouÂ’re down with me
YouÂ’re down with me for life
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
YouÂ’re down with me for me
Oh, yeah
Yeah...ooh...
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout some arguments that we had
That now seem, oh, so petty
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Yeah, yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), oh, oh
(Ooh, yeah) Yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
LookinÂ’ back on things, it makes you feel kind of dumb
We wasted so much time
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Baby, yeah
(Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Look around, you must appreciate everything
Our lives are full of blessings
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah), Yeah, yeah
(Ooh, yeah) Oh, love, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Kinda makes you wanna go back and get it
What, what IÂ’m tryinÂ’ to say to you {What IÂ’m tryinÂ’ to say to you}
Is that IÂ’m still in love with you {IÂ’m still in love with you}
And I want a second try {Yeah...}
And what {What}, and what I wanna hear from you {Ooh...}
Is that you feel the same way too {Do you feel the same way too}
And that youÂ’re down with me {Yeah...yeah...}
YouÂ’re down with me
YouÂ’re down with me for me for life {Are you down with me}
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Ooh, yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), yeah, yeah
YouÂ’re down with me for me
I wanna write a brand new song
‘Bout you and I
And how we got through all of the storms
And we survived
Yeah, we made things right and what
What, what IÂ’m tryinÂ’ to say to you {What IÂ’m tryinÂ’ to say}
Is that IÂ’m still in love with you {IÂ’m still in love with you}
And I want a second try {I want a second try}
And what {Yeah}, and what I wanna hear from you {I wanna hear}
Is that you feel the same way too {Do you feel thesame way}
And that youÂ’re down with me {Down with me}
YouÂ’re down with me {YouÂ’re down with me}
YouÂ’re down with me for me for life {For life}
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), oh, yeah
YouÂ’re down with me for me {Are you down for me}
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Ooh, yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), ooh,yeah, yeah, yeah
Said youÂ’re down with me for life
Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah
YouÂ’re down with me for life
Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah
I said youÂ’re down with me for life
