The Emancipation Of Mimi

Right. Should have named it the Emancipation of my Heart. Lol.
sounds corny?

just get along with it.

This is like a tribute to Mariah Carey, whom i've recently got a crush on. okay, more specifically, it's her songs that i'm attracted to. i find that, she brings out emotions of the songs superbly and that the lyrics of the songs just are reflecting on my love life.

well, currently i'm out and over love, and happily regaining my pass to singlehood again. and i wont be obsessed with writing my antagonism like before anymore.

i've decided to write this post, in relation to my previous relationship, and to tell the whole world that i'v recovered!

so here goes: (note to reader: the songs are from Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi", and those highlighted are what my most heartfelt.)

Before we got together:

I Wish You Knew
I've got to see you
Wherever you are
And I've got to be there
I'm wishing on stars
I've got to reveal what's inside of my heart
But the words escape meAnd I'm paralyzed
So helpless when I
Look into your eyes

[chorus]And how I wish you only knew
What I feel inside for you
You probably haven't got a clue
But I wish you knew
How I love you baby

Honestly I know it's silly of me
To want you so badly
But keep it concealed
See my inferiority complex kicks in
And the words escape me
And I'm paralyzedSo helpless when
ILook into your eyes

[chorus]And how I wish you only knew
What I feel inside for you
You probably haven't got a clue
But I wish you knew
How I love you baby


When We Got Together:

Joy Ride
Baby Baby dont you ever let go
More and more until we both overflow
Got a feeling that my heart's never known
I found love
Tender kisses and i'm floating on air
you can have me anytime, anywhere
when you need me i will always be there
I found Love

[chorus] And our love goes round and round
way up high, a joy ride
we can touch the stars above
we found love
and our love was heaven sent
from the day we first met
we've got something they cant touch
we found love

loving you is like a taste of heaven
wanna gaze into your eyes forever
run away and spend our lives together
i've found love
baby baby
all it takes is one touch
and immediately i feel a rush
baby boy, too much is never enough
i found love

[chorus] and our love goes round and round
way up high, a joy ride
we can touch the stars above
we found love
and our love was heaven sent
from the day we first met
we've got something they cant touch
we found love

i dont need anything
when you're here next to me
nobody in this whole wide world
could ever replace you in my eyes
we found paradise
forever you and i
our love goes round and round
on a joy ride
(with ya babe, with ya babe, with ya babe, with you baby)


In the midst of our relationship:

Stay The Night
You're kissing me
And saying I'm the one you need
To keep you warm
And lay with you tonight
Baby I feel the same way
I don't want to leave
Wanna hold you close
And feel your love inside
But I don't wanna play myself
Cause I know you're with someone else
And I don't need complications in my life
And I don't wanna fall back in
And get caught up in you again
Boy I'm so conflicted in my mind

[chorus]You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you till the morning light
It's cold outside
And much too late to drive
You know I need you baby
I'm so lost without your love

Obviously, procrastinating just to be
Close to you a little longer now
It's hard for me to break away from you baby
Never could resist you
And I still haven't learned how
And I don't wanna be a fool
But it's hard when it comes to you
And I'm feeling vulnerable tonight
Cause I don't wanna miss the chance
Of reliving our sweet romance
Boy I'm so confused down deep inside

[chorus]You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you til the morning light
It's cold outside
And much too late to drive
You know I need you baby
I'm so lost without your love


The Breakup... eyy you! Dont fall asleep!

We Belong Together
I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I didnt know nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I`d 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`ve never felt.

The feeling that I'm feeling now
That I don't hear your voice
Or have you touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Or what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right hereCause baby

When you leftI 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 aint nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together

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 minuteThis is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of youIts breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
Throwing things
Crying
Trying 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

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
Ohh baby, babyWe belong together

[Bridge]Ohh , Baby , Baby
We Belong together baby
When you leftI lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
Cause we belong together
Who am i going to lean on
When times get rough
Who's going to talk to me
Til the sun comes up
Who's going to take your place
There ain't nobody better
Ohh baby, babyWe belong together


Post Breakup. u're sleeping already right???

Mine Again
I remember when you used to be mine
Way back whenI was too naive to love you right
But now if I only had the opportunity
I would do anything
Because my heart still believes


[chorus]Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life

It's irrelevant to dwell on the past
I'm accountable for what went bad
And I mean that
But I keep on praying for another chance
Just to have you back
Cause I've grown
And I know how to be your everything


[chorus]Maybe you could be mind again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life
No, no it ain't over yet
I just can't accept the possibility
We weren't made for each other's arms
I know you're my destiny
We can't erase what was meant to be
Part of you and part of me
If we try one more time
Maybe somehow we'll survive


Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Boy maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back to...
LifeMaybe you could be mine


Post-post Breakup.

Shake it off
[chorus]I gotta shake you off
Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhereI gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give

Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off
By the time you get this message
It's gonna be too late
So don't bother paging me
Cause I'll be on my way

See I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes
Just ask your momma she knows
You're gonna miss me baby
Hate to say I told you so
Well at first I didn't know
But now it's clear to me
You would cheat with all your freaks
And lie compulsively
So I packed up my Louis Vuitton
Jumped in your ride and took off
You'll never ever find a girl
Who loves you more than me

[chorus]I gotta shake you off
Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhereI gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off

[bridge]I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Off...
I found out about a gang
Of your dirty little deeds
With this one and that one
By the pool, on the beach, in the streets
Heard y'all was
Hold up my phone's breakin' up
I'ma hang up and call the machine right back
I gotta get this off of my mind
You wasn't worth my time
I've leaving you behind
Cause I need a real love in my life
Save this recording becauseI'm never coming back home
Baby I'm gone
Don't cha know

[chorus]I gotta shake you off
Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhereI gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciated all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off
