sometimes love knocks you down.

Knock You Down feat Kanye West & Ne-Yo - Keri Hilson

I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then 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
You got me thinkin' bout our life, our house and kids
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
'Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down

I've never thought I'd hear myself say
"Ya'll go ahead, I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today"
I used to be commander-in-chief of my pimp ship flyin' high
Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky
Til now I'm crashin, I don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could go back, and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would, baby, if I could
Miss independent, the load never too much, she's helping me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight

Tell me now can you make it past your Caspers
So we can finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
Who seem 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 can't 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, Imma ask him

So I gotta put the good with the bad, happy and the sad
So I'll bring a better future than I had in the past
Cause I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call
And if it hits better, make it worth the fall

Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love come and knocks you down
