Knock You Down (Alternative Version) (feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo)
[Keri Hilson:] Eh ..not again Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me
[Kanye West:] Keep rockin, and keep knockin Whether you Louis Vouitonned up or Reebok'in You see the hate, that they're servin on a platter So what we gon' have Dessert or disaster?
[Keri Hilson:] I never thought I'd be in love like this When I look at you my mind goes on a trip And you came in and knocked me on my face Feels like in I'm a race but I already won first place
I never thought I'd.. fall for you as hard as I did (as hard as I did, yeah) You got me thinkin about our life, our house and kids Every mornin' I look at you and smile Boy you came around And you knocked me down (knocked me down)
[Chorus: Keri Hilson] 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)
[Ne-Yo:] I never thought I'd hear myself say Ya'll go ahead I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today (kick it with my girl today) I used to be Commander in Chief of my pimp ship flyin high (flyin high) Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky (oh shot me out the sky)
Hate to know I’m crashing, I don't know how it happened But I know it feels so damn good Said if I could back, and make it happen faster Don't you know I would baby if I could Miss independent oh, 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
[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Ne-Yo] Sometimes love comes around (love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
[Kanye West:] Tell me now can you make it past your Сaspers So we can finally fly off into NASA? You was always the cheerleader of my dreams And seemed to only date 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 too quick but we cannot let this moment pass us Let the hourglass 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 bitch? 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 him
[Keri Hilson:] Say you gotta put the good with the bad happy and the sad But when you bring a better future than I had in the past Oh cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did I don't wanna fall back on my face again (Whoaaa whooaaa) I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call (Whoaaa whooaaa) And if it hits, better make it worth the first when it comes around
[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Ne-Yo] Sometimes love comes around (love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
[Keri Hilson:] Won't see it coming when it happens But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
