Only U
Ashanti · Concrete Rose [2004]
That throughout it all
It's only you that stuck by me
And for that I thank you
I love you, Ashanti
Ashanti
Ooh, I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I just can't leave you alone
Boy, you got me doing things that I would never (never) do
And I can't stop the way I'm feelin', if I wanted to
I'm crazy 'bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldn't have you I would probably go insane
[chorus]
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you, only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Ooh, I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I just can't leave you alone
Boy, you stay inside my mind, ain't no denyin' ('nyin) that
And only you could do them things that got me coming back
This gotta be the realest thing that I have ever felt
And I'll do what I gotta do, to keep you to myself
[chorus]
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Crazy (crazy) 'bout the ('bout the) way you (make me) feel (ah)
I just (I just) gotta (gotta) have you (have you) here (ah)
And I (and I) wanna (wanna) let you (let you) know (ah)
I won't (I won't) ever (ever) let you (let you) go
[chorus]
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Ooh, I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I just can't leave you alone
