  • I love you and I need you
    Nelly, I love you
    I do need you

    No matter what I do (woo)
    All I think about is you (uh huh)
    Even when I'm with my boo
    Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

    No matter what I do
    All I think about is you
    Even when I'm with my boo
    You know I'm crazy over you (uh, uh, uh, uh)

    I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me and uh
    She got the hots for me, the finest thing my hood done seen
    But oh, no, oh, no
    She got a man and a son though (check it)
    But that's okay 'cause I
    Wait for my cue and just listen, play my position like a shortstop
    Pick up everything mami hittin'
    And in no time (no time)
    I'm gonna make this one here mine
    And that's for sure 'cause I
    I never been the type to break up a happy home, but uh
    There's somethin' 'bout baby girl I just can't leave alone
    So tell me, Ma, what's it gonna be? She said

    You don't know what you mean to me (come on)

    No matter what I do (woo)
    All I think about is you (uh huh)
    Even when I'm with my boo
    Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
    No matter what I do
    All I think about is you
    Even when I'm with my boo
    You know I'm crazy over you

    I see a lot and you look and I never say a word
    I know how niggas start actin' trippin' out here about they girls
    And there's no way
    Nelly gon' fight over no dame (I ain't fighting' over no dame)
    As you can see, but I
    I like your steez, your style, your whole demeanor
    The way you come through and holla and swoop me in his two-seater
    Now that's gangsta
    And I got special ways to thank ya
    Don't you forget it, but uh
    It ain't that easy for you to pack and leave him, but uh
    You and dirty got ties for different reasons
    I respect that and right before I turn to leave, she said (she said, she said, she said)

    You don't know what you mean to me (come on)

  • Fabian from NigeriaLove this
  • Miles from Vancouver, CanadaFirst of all, don't badmouth Norah Jones. Well, ok, her newer stuff is nothing to write to home about, but I do still love her first two albums. Second, I'm not a fan of either artist, but this is a great song. It holds (dare I say?) warm feelings of Grade 11, when me and my friend Andrew would have sleepovers at his mother's house. We saw the video on TV, which is probably what triggers those feelings. It's not so overproduced, either. (But I do also like Nelly's songs "Ride Wit Me" and "Hot in Herre".)
  • Eliete from São Paulo, BrazilThis is the best music i have been heard! I love all about that song! I love is too much. Please don´t tell bad things about that one, because it´s beautifull, lovely and sensible too much. I´d like to have more notices about Kelly, mainly NELLY of course. Kisses for them, mainly NELLY of course...
  • Brian from London, CanadaDon't like this song. Better then Grillz.
  • Kelli from Cedar Rapids, IaHow would you know what kind of music to commit suicide to? Its not like you've ever done it.
  • Danielle from Richmond, KyI really like this song and kelly and nelly actually work good together~! (maybe they should do another one together~!)
  • Michael Jones from Berlin, MdThis song brings back a lot of old memories. Good and bad, but it's nice to listen to this song all the same.
  • Sarah from Quito, South Americaok, you DONT commit suicide to noah jones. its too...slow. you cant commit suicide to slow music. there is no anger, you are at peace with jazz. you do it to like...staind, or something like that...but you shouldnt have to do it all all. its pointless, and even though you think its gonna help other people, it wont. it will make it worse for them
  • Sarah from Quito, South Americanelly and kelly arent even that good, and noah jones has more sophisticated music....but i hate her anyways. she sucks. ive had too much!
  • Autumn from Las Vegas, NeThis song totally relates to me!!!! Even though i dont have a b/f i still cant stop thinking about this one guy. i cant believe it lost to norah jones. that sucks!!!
  • Peter from Carmel, Inwhile nelly is good, norah's music is part of a dying artform. not many people can write jazz.
  • Tiffany from Las Vegas, NvI agree with Lara Kelly and Nelly are WAY better than Norah Jones. Kelly and Nelly are the BOMB!
  • Jude from Db, CaNorah Jones is ten times better than Kelly or nelly.
  • Lara from Cape Town, South AfricaI don't believe this song lost to NORAH JONES ! She sings the kind of music you commit suicide to! If she was any slower on her videos MTV would have to use fast forward & it would still be slow! This is the best song ever when I hear the first part where she goes "& I luv u" I just have to sing along !
