Quickly Lyrics


Oh, news said
Oh, yeah
If I had twenty million dollars in a vault somewhere baby
It wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause the doctor told me that I'm dying slowly
So I guess I got to love you while I'm here baby
Did you know?
The news said that sky is falling, globe is warming
My country's warring, leaders are lying, time is running
Nowhere to go baby, nowhere to go
I know we just met
But baby could you love me quickly, quickly?
I want you to love me
Like you know the world is about to end baby quickly
You said you didn't even know my name, but
Told me we mind as well make ours the same
What do you think, baby?
No time

Think it might as well be light years away, oh
We just better land on the stars
Before they come crashing down
'Cause I heard the news say
The news said the sky is falling, the globe is warming
My country's warring, leaders are lying, time is running
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
I know we just met
But baby could you love me quickly, quickly?
Want you to love me
Like you know the world is about to end baby quickly
Yeah, that's right baby, kiss me like the world is quaking
Do it like the earth is shaking, you got it baby
That's right lovely fill me like our time is sprinting faster
Running out of time
I know we just met
But baby could you love me quickly, quickly?
Want you to love me
Like you know the world is about to end baby quickly
You barely know me baby
But you gotta love me quickly, quickly
Oh yeah, you gotta love me
Like you know the world's about to end baby quickly
Oh, you gotta love me, gotta love me
Oh yeah, like the world's about to end baby
Quickly now, the news said the sky's falling
Quickly now, just love me, love me

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.
