As I Am (Intro) Lyrics
Alicia Keys
Lyrics
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don worry cuz
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don worry cuz
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I telling you that
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh ...
