Knock You Down

Uh-huh, not again
Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me

Keep rockin', and keep knockin'
Whether you Louboutin it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate, that they servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?

I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like I'm in a race
But I already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did
(As hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinking 'bout our life, our house and kids (yeah)
Every morning I look at you and smile
'Cause boy you came around, and you knocked me down, knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
Knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
Knocks you down

I never thought I'd hear myself say (ooh)
Y'all go ahead
I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today (kick it with my girl today)
I used to be commander and chief of my pimp ship flyin' high (flyin' high)
'Til I met this pretty little missile who shot me out the sky
(Oh, shot me out the sky)

Hate to know I'm crashing, I don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could go back, and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would, baby if I could?
Miss independent to the fullest
The load never to much, she helping me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life (oh)
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight, girl

Sometimes love (love comes around, love comes around)
Oh, it comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (oh, when it knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around (ooh, yeah, comes around, yeah)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
Knocks you down (ooh, when it knocks you down, knocks you down)

Tell me now can you make it past your Caspers?
So we can finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
That seemed to only date the head of football teams
And I was the class clown that, always kept you laughin'
We, were never meant to be, baby we just happened
So please, don't mess up the trick
Hey, young world, I'm the new Slick Rick
They say I move too quick, but we can't let the moment pass us

Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
How could a goddess ask someone that's only average for advice
O.M.G, you listen to that, bitch?
What was me?
Baby, this is tragic
'Cause we had it, we was magic

I was flyin', now I'm crashin'
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now, I'ma ask him

Say you gotta take the good with the bad, happy and the sad
But when you bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh, 'cause I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call
(Whoa, whoa)
And if it hits, better make it worth the fall

Sometimes love comes around (oh, when it comes around)
(Comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down, knocks you down (you'd be good when it knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around (when love comes around0
(When love comes around) and it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
Knocks you down (when it knocks you down, knocks you down)

Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
See when love come and knocks you down (oh)
(Oh, when it knocks you down)
Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
See when love comes and knocks you down (yeah)
