Chorus:

Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you baby If I ain’t got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, you, you Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you baby If I ain’t got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, yeah

Samsonite Man [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

I don't wanna do this over and over

(verse 1)

He's a man so full of style and grace Any woman being impressed Takes a smile and paints it on your face Makes you feel like you've been blessed Promises things so special Seems to come right from a song Soon as you begin to feel secure Turn around and he is gone

(chorus) [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go Packing his bags,gotta go He's a Samsonite Man

(verse 2)

Maybe he is just a rollin stone Wandering from here to there Searching for a place to call his home Wonder if he even cares So many years of heartache and pain That's all you seem to know him for Is it you, or is it he to blame? Whenever he walks out your door

(chorus) [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go Packing his bags,gotta go He's a Samsonite Man

Where you're always running to, away from me?

(bridge)

If the wind blows you in my direction You'd come through the rendezvous Forget about your good attention Leave me lonely and confused Mr.Samsonite pack a bag That is my suggestion From here on out you will be leaving My discretion yeah So I know the game baby And it will never be the same (no no no no no) cause now I got him

(chorus) [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go (Now you gotta go) Packing his bags,gotta go (I can't take it no more) Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go (What do I love him for) Packing his bags,gotta go He's a Samsonite Man

Why don't you just go Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, woah woah yeah yeah You can't hurt me no more baby You can't touch me You can't hurt me no more baby Gotta go, gotta go

Pack your bag, pack it up Gotta go, hit the road Jack You ain't gotta go home, but you can get the hell outta here

Nobody Not Really [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Who really cares? Who really cares? When I talk? What I feel? What I say? Nobody not really

Who wants to take The time to understand I would like someone to hear me with some empathy But I can't find… Nobody not really

Maybe I'm invisible to the world Does anyone in the world even think of me? As more than just a hopeless cause Maybe the world is not my block

[ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

My stoop My life My dreams My anything, anything

Who wants to help? Mama, but she's so tired Papa, but you're not here I'm alone in a big empty space with Nobody not really

Someday We will all be free [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Hang on to the world as it spins around just don't let the spin get you down things are moving so fast hold on tight and you will last keep your selfrespect, your manly pride get yourself in gear keep your stride never mind your fears brighter days will soon be here Take it from me someday we'll all be free. Yeah Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high. lay your dreams right up to the sky sing your greatest song and you keep growing, growing on Take it from me someday we'll all be free. Just wait and see someday we'll all be free. Take it from me someday we'll all be free. It won't be long.

[ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

He Got up and Go

He Got up and Go:

Chorus: [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

And I don’t think im gunna make it Because Kayla wants to beat me And im scared from head to toe Because he got up and go

He won’t be there to save me Cuz I didn’t give him a second chance He goes out with an eight grader And he will go with her to the dance

I am just a punk rocker He was skater punk to me But now those nicknames are gone Cuz I am just so slutty

Chorus: [ Alicia Keys Lyrics - Alicia Keys ]

Got up and go got up and go got up and go

He no longer loves me Like I do to him Before he asked Renee out We thought he liked Kim
