Knock You Down

Not again

Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me

Keep rockin' and keep knockin'

Whether you Louboutin it up or Reebok'n

You see the hate that they servin' on a platter

So what we gonna 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've already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did

You got me thinkin' 'bout our life, a 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

Y'all go ahead, I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today

I used to be commander in chief of my pimp ship flyin' high

'Til I met this pretty little missile, shot me out the sky

Hate to know I'm crashin', 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 could

Miss independent to the fullest

The load never too much, she helpin' me pull it

She shot the bullet that ended that life

I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight, girl

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

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

And seemed to only take 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 to quick but we can't let this moment pass us

Let the hour glass 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

OMG you listen to that *****? Whoa it's 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 'em

Say you gotta take the good, the bad, happy and the sad

But when you bring a better future than I had in the past

'Cause I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did

I don't wanna fall back on my face again

I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call

And if it hits better make it worth the first when it comes around

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

Won't see it comin' when it happens but when it happens

You're gonna feel it let me tell you now

See when love comes it knocks you down

Won't see it comin' when it happens but when it happens

You're gonna feel it let me tell you now

See when love comes it knocks you down, yeah
