Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is a brilliant singer, writes her own songs, looks average and is a diva in a complete pop-star package. There might be a lot of things that inspire her to make the kind of music that she makes. On being asked if relationships can fuel her relationships she replied,

“It does. I can take a scenario from eighth grade and go, “Okay, I’m going to write about this as if it’s now.” I could take a scenario from the year of Butterfly, and write about it like it’s yesterday. I wrote the lyrics to “Honey” in Puerto Rico on this boat. I kept rewinding the track and watching people jet-ski, thinking, “That would be cool for the video.” I never think about the video when I’m writing the song, usually, but the whole atmosphere seemed right.”

Well… its good that she keeps those relationship influences in moderation… else we would get to hear something like Janet Jackson’s “Thinking of my ex” song heheheh

“We Belong Together” is a huge hit from Mariah Carey’s latest album ‘Emanciption of Mimi’. While many people created a furore over the name, Mariah Carey had done her job well and people said we are together by making the album a huu…ge hit.

Here’s the lyrics.

We Belong TogetherVerse 1

I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

Pre-Chorus 1
The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby

Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Verse 2
I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart

Pre-Chorus 2
I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby

Chorus 2
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Outro
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave?
Cos we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears.
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

Chorus:
So take a look at me now
Cos there’s just an empty space
There’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
When there’s just an empty space
And you comin back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve gotta face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

This song has earned Mariah Carey her second No.1 at the Billboard Hot Adult R&B Airplay Chart…

“Fly Like A Bird”

Somehow I know that
There’s a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you’ll come and carry me home

Can we recover
Will the world ever be
A place of peace and harmony
With no war and with no brutality
If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I’m so despondant
That I feel the need to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You’ll come and carry me home

Keep your head to the sky
With God’s love you’ll survive

Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side

Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You’ll come and carry me home
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
Higher Jesus
Carry me higher Lord
