Number One Lyrics


Ooh, I promise not to do it again
I promise not to do itYou can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
'Cuz you can't see all I do
To keep you from knowing the things I doLike erase my phone and keep it out of town
I keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should have known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me nowYou know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time
But this is the last timeDon't make me over
'Cuz I can be faithful
Baby, you're my number one
You're my number oneNow, who is she? What's her name?
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this, we fight about that
You hang up the phone and call me right backWell I'll never be something I'm not
Please don't throw away what we've got

'Cuz we've been together for way too long
I was playing around but I'm coming homeYou know that I love you
(Know that I love you)
There's no one above you
(No one above you)
I said it the last time
(Hey, hey)
But this is the last timeDon't make me over
(Don't leave me baby
'Cuz I can be faithful
(You know I try)
Baby, you're my number one
(Baby)
You're my number oneI keep you laced up so you ain't gotta borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on Ebay, baby why is they frontin'?
They be on the internet but they never cop nothin'I keep you in girl, what is those on your toes?
And your neck staying froze off that rose colored gold
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penisHe got a mind of his own and he just be saying shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off, he ask me, "Who is you playin' wit?"
But I know he love you, he told me you was his favoriteYou know that I love you
(Know that I love you)
There's no one above you
(No one above you)
I said it the last time
(Said it the last time)
But this is the last time
(Hey hey hey, yeah)Don't make me over
(Don't leave me baby)
'Cuz I can be faithful
(You know I try)
Baby you're my number one
(Oh baby)
You're my number oneYou're making it hard for me
You're messing up everything
You tell me I gotta leave
(Say we over)You saw that she came over
Came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover
(Say we over)I promise I won't cheat
I promise I won't lie
I promise I'll act right
(Say we over)You can't tell me
I can't have you
I can't have that
(We ain't over)Hey, it ain't over baby
(We ain't over)
Oh, you don't need to go, it's not over
(We ain't over)
Oh
(We ain't over)
Oh, it's gonna be alright now, don't go now

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
John Stephens (born December 28, 1978 in Springfield, Ohio), better known as John Legend, is a Grammy award winning R&B singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet and actor signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. Prior to the release of his debut album Get Lifted in 2004, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill. He released his second album, Once Again in 2006, and his latest release, 2008's Evolver showcased a more experimental and upbeat side of Legend. He is the recipient of six Grammy Awards, and in 2007 he received the special Starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Legend also played the piano on Lauryn Hill's 1998 song "Everything is Everything" and sang background vocals on Jay-Z's "Encore" and Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name". Legend frequently cites gospel, R&B, and hip hop music as his main musical influences.

Legend released his critically acclaimed and Billboard Top Ten second album, Once Again, in October 2006. Produced by Raphael Saadiq, Kanye West and will.i.am, it is again a mixture of gospel and classic soul showcasing his extraordinary voice, particularly on "Show Me".

Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It wasn't until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get Lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of enduring single "Ordinary People," the album reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Once Again, which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, followed in October 2006. Live from Philadelphia, sold exclusively at Target stores, was a successful stopgap release that predated October 2008's Evolver.
