Babyface - Face2Face Lyrics






Outside In Inside Out

How can I forget about the day I first met you
The way you walked in to the room with so much attitude
Sometimes people go through life
Searching for a sign
Girl I know that I found mine
When I look into your eyes

[Chorus:]
Outside in, inside out, you do it for me ya knock me out a sight to
See from head to toe
Had to let you know
Outside in, inside out, you do it for me ya knock me out a sight to see from
Head to toe
Had to let you know

Girl I lost my mind I saw you dancin on the floor
You looked so damn fly sweat started comin from my pores
Soemtimes people go through life
Searching for the one
Girl I know that I found mine
And I know its love

[Chorus]

Tell me (when and if) I can see you
(How's about) tomorrow night
No one (has to know what) we do (what we do til ya say) until say it's alright
(its alright, its alright baby, its alright baby)
It's alright baby, It's alright baby

[Chorus 2x]

There She Goes

(feat. The Neptunes)

There's something about her
You know, it's the way that she carries herself
She's just so bad
Ooh, I don't know

Her style, her mind
Compares to nothing on this Earth
She's not the kind to share
Only God knows what she's worth

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(She's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(Oh baby)

I hope to find her there
Gotta make some eye contact
She's not the kind to stare
Move quick or lose her fast

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, she's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(You're incredible baby)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(There she goes, come on)

Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves
(Get down girl)
Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(She's incredible)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(Ooh, there she goes baby)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, you're incredible baby)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(There she goes, baby)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, she's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Oh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her savoir faire
There she goes
(There she goes)

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves
(Get down girl)
Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves

What If

I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
But does she ever ask `bout me?
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know

[Chorus:]
What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we was `sposed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was `sposed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better?
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me
Still wanting me

Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There's just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home, you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I won't
I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on

[Chorus]

Now that could be my car
That could be my house
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing
That could be the trash that I always take out
That could be the chair that I love to chill in
That could be my food on the table at the end of the day
Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it's really `sposed to be this way?
What if you're really `sposed to be with me?

[Chorus fade-out]

Stressed Out

(Make you dreams come true)
No noooo hooo ooo ooo oo ooh oooh ohhh ooooh oooh ooh
You so busy
Worryin' bout
All of the thing you can to do nothing about
Maybe its time to change your route
Instead of pluggin in so much
You should look out
You have so many things to smile about
Like Love
For all the things you have ever dreamed
It could work out

[Chorus:]
So don't stress out (oh baby)
It will happen if its meant to be
So don't stress out
Things could work out baby

We go 'round mmm
Only once
Don't waste you time not having fun
You should live your life, its all you got
Like its always better to live than not
You have so many things to smile about
Like Love

[Chorus 2x]

Laid back in my arms
Is where you belong
Sunshine will defeat the storm
At the end of the day

[Chorus 2x]

So don't stress out
Things could work out baby

Babys Mama

(feat. Snoop Dogg)

[Snoop Dogg:]
New American
How ya love dat'
Off the hizzle frashizzle dizzle
Get it to me Baby fizzle

(chech it check it check it)

Girl you got your busines in the street
Claimin' that your sh*t is weak
Been six months since you've been gone
How come you ain't called
When you don't feel love no more
You got no right to close the door
You loved her once
And she's got proof
Baby boy looks just like you

[Chorus:]
Yo' get her love and much respect
Even if shes got man
(Ghetto) Player you must understand
That's you baby's momma
Don't be late payin' your bills
It takes two to make a kid
When the hell you gon' understand
That's you baby's momma

[Snoop's hook:]
Tell the baby goodbye (baby goodbye)
'Cause you don't wanna be by (wanna be by)
The way you acting....fly (they way you acting....fly)
Girl you know you livin' a lie (livin' a lie)

I heard you got a chick on the side
I hope you got it right this time
Heard she got inside your mind
Hatin' on your family ties
She's got no right to dawg her out
That is the mother of your child
You loved her once and that's the truth
Baby boy looks just like you

[Chorus]

[Snoop Rapp:]
You say you don't love her
You push her and you shove her
That's your first son's mother
Word to mother
If it's that bad
Then go and get another
She kicked ya to the curb
and now you're livin' in the gutta
St-st-stutter
????
That child suppote (support)
Is tearin' you butt up
Nut up, cut up
And act a fool
Raisin' hell at the daycare school
They threw you in jail
For not payin' you dues
You couldn't even buy yo son dem new coby(?) shoes
Alotta fools say they do but they don't
I know you're mad
You got to hate boo
Gon' wait it through
Let's see what he gon' do
He might, better yet better
The court wrote a letter
To be real wich you
You gotta kid wich you
So one to one
Man to man
He got to deal wich you

How you gonna act when you (sh*t is stong?)
When you don't even claim your own
How can you even sleep
When you know you're wrong
Wake up wake up wake up wake up
How you gonna act when you family's gone
'Cause they tired of the sh*t you do (all the sh*t you do)
How you gonna feel when you can't go home
'Cause there ain't nobody there for you

[Chorus]

That's your baby's momma uh

How Can U Be Down

Called me up on a Friday night
'Cause she knew you'd be out with ya girls
Said she always thought that I was fly
Me and her should maybe take a twirl
I told her girl no no no
But she still came knocking at my door
I told her to go go home
But that made her even want me more
And now she's busy trying to signify
That there was something going on between her and I
Well that's the kinds sh*t that I won't dignify
With an answer come on

[Chorus:]
How can you be down
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive she playin you
Why is she around
Girlfriend just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's takin you
You need to say no no no
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you

Dropped the crib early tuesday night
'Cause she knew you'd be away at school
Tried to seduce me with all kinda lies
Tried to make me think the worst of you
I told her girl no no no
She dropped out and tried to give me a kiss
I told her to go go home
Then she said "you gon' be sorry for this"
And now she's out there trying to testify
That there is something going on between her and I
That's the kinda sh*t that I won't let get by
Don't she know that I'm grown

[Chorus]

Somtime your friends
Aint what they seem
Want all your hopes and dreams
And the will do just bout, sh*t, anything
Whatever its gonna take to bring you oo down sea
Give em' and inch they'll take a mile
Knife in your back all with a smile
Don't be surprised when they clean out your house
Betta not bring no stray dogs home

Work It Out

Said its a long nights(?)
No rest for the weary
Your baby keep cryin'
He just won't go to bed
Feels like you gon' die
You know you gotta get up early
Thereas not enough time for love
cause if you cant get what you want

[Chorus]
Well Ima work it out work it out work it out work it out
So we can think it out think it out think it out
Well Ima work it out work it out work it out work it out
There ain't no...?...I'm working it ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

The rent is fast too
Your not gonna make it

You just cant pay the bills (you just cant pay the bills)
Your car is broke down
And the babys gotta go to school
Your feelin left out
Like nobody's gonna care for you (care for you baby)
Well I gotta go crib girl
A room for your kid girl
So just put your mind at ease
'Cause I've got the cash girl
To pay down your rent girl
So you can spend time with

With Him

So ya never meant to hurt nobody
Well I think your full of it
'Cause if ya really really didn't wanna hurt nobody
You wouldn't slept with my best friend
And I bring insult to my injury
You weren't a bit discrete
And while the world stood witness
To my embarrassment
You put a knife inside of me

[Chorus:]
How could you fall in love with him
How could you give your heart to him
Thought we'd grow old
As lovers
Together til' the end
How could you fall
Fall in love with him

Now I know we've had our, up and downs
And that I do admit
But sometimes lovers go astray
But you've made it permanent
Oh I can't be there understanding
My heart's just not that big (no it ain't, no it ain't)
And I can take the pain
Of infidelity
But I can't take you with him

[Chorus]

Thought we'd grow old
As lovers
Together til' the end
How could you fall
Fall in love with him

[VERSE 1]
I don't wanna hear how wonderful he is
I don 't care if he is special
I don't want to know that shit
I don't care how much he loves you
Or how much he understands

Don't give a damn about your man
I don't wanna be just friends
I don't want nobody else
I just want to have all to myself

[CHORUS]
Wish you was my girl
Wish you was my love
Wish you'd the one that I could oc*nt on
When things get rough
Wish you'd be my sunshine on a cloudy day
Why can't we be the lovers that were supposed to be
Wish you was my girl
Wish you was my love
Wish you'd be the one that I cloudy count on
When thing get rough
Wish you'd be my sunshine on a cloudy day
Why can't we be together like we're meant to be

[VERSE 2]

Dont Take It So Personal

(don't take it...take it so...baby)

I was wrong I was out of line
I didint' meant to lead you one
But there was something in your eyes
Your look so fly
Reminds me of my girl back home
Had it been another time
I surely wouldn't
If you and I were gettin it on
But see I got me a girl
And She's my world
Thought you should know

Don't take it so personal(personal babe)
Don't you know there's nothing wrong with you
Nothing wrong with me

Don't take it so personal
Ain't got nothin to do with you
Sometimes you win or lose
Get chose or chooose
There's really nothing you can do

Its alright
Don't apologize
You didn't mean to turn me on
There was something bout that night'
That felt so right
Even I was bout to lose control
I could think of you
No lie its true
I knew I had to stop myself
'Cause I got me a girl
And she's my world
I thought you should know

[Chorus]

You could've been my girl
I could've been with you
You could have been my baby too
I could've been your man
You could've been my boo
I could be makin love to you
I coulda been your sweetheart
Always down for you
Spending all my time with you (spending all my time)
But see I got me a girl
And she's my world
And I just want to say to you

Silly me I tell myself
Taking you for granted
I never loved nobody else
Silly me,silly,silly me
Silly me that's how I felt
Not being romantic
How could I let you fall out love
Well All I know is when I go home
There's no one there for me
And all t his love I feel inside
Can't put no arms around meI wish that I could take things back
Turn back the hands of time
A time when I was yours
A time when you were mine

[CHORUS]
I'm still in love with you
I don;t know what to do
To fell this empty space in my heart,baby
I still have thoughts of you
Of making love to you
And taking sweet long walks in the park,baby
So how do I convince you to come back to my arms
To my heart

Silly me I tell myself
For not understanding
You needed love and nothing else
Silly me,silly,silly me
Silly me for loving you
And never complementing
Or feeling youthat you are my heart
Well I know is when I go home
There is nothing there for me
And all this love I feel inside
Can't put no arms around me
I wish that I could take it back
Turn back the hands of time
A time when I was yours
A time when you were mine

[CHORUS]
[Bridge]
Must've been silly of me,to think that you would be
The kind of girl to take my shit
And not say one damn thing
Must've been too blind to see,or just not listening
To what your heart was trying to say
I only pushed your herat away
Wasn't silly of me

Lover And Friend

Everyday my thoughts of you
Get more and more intense

That you and I were mean to be
No what or ifs involved
As long as you got love for me
Our problems will be solved

So do you love him? no
Do you think of me? yea,yea yea
You don't want him? no
Cause you'd rather be with me
After all the shit he put you through
Why wouldn't you want to leave
Girl, I got mad love for you
Why can't you be with me

[Chorus:]
I'll be your lover
I'll be your friend
I'll be your one true confidant
I'll be the smile on your face
When we make love and consummate
I'll be the one good lover that won't let you down
I'm not afraid
Afraid to love,afraid to trust
Or just communicate
I'll be your partner
I'll be your man
I'll be the kind that understands
That you got wants
And you got needs
And I got s'ponsabilities
I'll be the one good lover that's down for you
I am not afraid
Afraid to share,afraid to give or, just communicate

Everyday he lies to you
Bout things that he won't say
From simple things like denying you
From asking about this day
It brothersme to think that he
Be playing you that way
You deserve much more,this I'm sure
So send him on his way

Cause you don't love him? no
You always think of me? yea,yea,yea
You don't want him? no
Cause you'd rathes be with me
After all the shit he put you though
It's true for you to leave
Girl,I've got mad love for you
You're supposed to be with me

Back to: Babyface


Face2Face is the fifth studio album from R&B singer Babyface. It was released by Nu America and Arista Records on September 11, 2001, in the United States. His first album in five years after 1996's The Day, it also marked Babyface's first album with Arista, which reunited him with his former songwriting and production partner L.A. Reid who was the president of the label at the time of the album's release.

The album was a radical departure from his previous works, as the balladeer was focused on more uptempo songs. Face2Face was also different due to Babyface working with outside producers on roughly half of the album. Producers on the album included Tim & Bob, Heavy D, The Neptunes, Diggin' in the Crates producer Buckwild, Brian McKnight's associate producer Anthony Nance and Dan Reed Network member Brion James.

Reviews of the album were mixed, as critics and fans did not know what to make of Babyface's new musical direction. Face2Face is notable for being one of a few albums released on the same day as the September 11 attacks.

It was released alongside other recordings such as Slayer's God Hates Us All, Jay-Z's The Blueprint, The Microphones' The Glow Pt. 2, Dream Theater's Live Scenes from New York, Mariah Carey's Glitter, Fabolous's Ghetto Fabolous and Nickelback's Silver Side Up.
