Who I Am

[Beverley Knight]
Guess my Mama knew exactly what she meant the day she said
"Be careful what you wish for it will come to you."
Little did I know the day I met you, you would demonstrate
How everything in Mama's words would ring so true
Independent people with a different take on living
Now how did we become more than just good friends?

[Chorus (Both)]
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same.
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame.

[Musiq Soulchild]
You and I should be like oil and water
but somehow we mix together and we make a very special blend
Every day we clash on politics, religion,
but we learned the art of how to kiss and make up in the end yeah.
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul

[Chorus]

[Beverley Knight]
I realise it, you learn, you gotta cry, you gotta respect and
Feel somebody you gotta fall, you gotta rise
To really understand the things that make this little world go round.
That's what really makes us, that's how we learn.

Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul.

[Chorus]

[Intro]
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby

[Verse 1]
How can you be down?
you gotta do whatever's clever
So that I will stick around
you gotta do whatever's clever
And you don't want to waste your time
you gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever
If you wanna step to me
You gotta do whatever's clever
So I'll listen carefully..
You gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,
Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever

So you want to roll with me,
Here's advice that you should heed
Common sense is all you need
To avoid my thunder
First of all talk to my face
Not the view below my waist
How we gonna conversate
While your head's down under?
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

[Chorus repeat]

Here's a very simple truth
"Monkey see is monkey do"
So you're never getting through
If your boys are busters
Finally please understand
All I have is by my hand
On my own I'm making ground
I am my own woman.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can choose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

[Chorus repeat]
[Intro repeat (x2)]

Call me Hurricane Jane,
Dry season's over, here comes the rain,
Sweeping over your plain, blazing as I go
Call me Hurricane Jane,
This kind of weather's hard to contain,
Nothing's ever the same, when I start to blow

Far from home, lonely time
Thinking about, you and I
Pictures form in my mind, all of them remain.
Here I go like before, signs that I can't ignore.
Close my eyes, cue the storm
Ready for the change...call me.

[Chorus]

Rushing in like a flood
Barren land, turns to mud
Every thought heats the blood,
Temperature will rise.
Ready to pump and it's all good
I love me better than anyone could
You inspire like you should and I cannot deny

[Chorus]

Said I rage like a fire, and I flow like the water
Ain't no surprise I was born under Aries sign.
This is my body, so I do what I choose
Nothing to hide when I am alone, cause there ain't no rules.

[Chorus (x2)]

Stranger on the face of it.
Brother in the heart of a nation that prays for you, loves you, calls you by name

Struck out, like some criminal
Cut down like an animal, suddenly everything I know, just ain't the same

We ask for solution
Did anyone hear us?
For your retribution
Did anyone care?
So while this world marches on with the memory gone
My heart will remember

You are my fallen soldier
One of our many martyrs
I would have loved to know you
Still you're my fallen soldier

[Rpt x 2]

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more

Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love I put aside, cause I was busy loving something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

[Chorus]

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

[Chorus (x2)]
