Oh, no, no, no, no, no

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past, you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that, this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just cause I'm)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people who know what's going on
Look at your mate, help me sing my song
Tell her I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world
Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can

See I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that, this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad, hey

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

    General Comment:Also, I'd respect the negative opinions of others if they knew how to categorize their music. And if they knew how to express themselves, period. What fucking morons some people are. dance_in_misery, what music DO you like? Hinder?

    Yeah, this song is sappy, but it works.

    General Comment:I think this is one of my favorites of all time -- definitely my favorite Usher song.

    It could be about love, lust, or both. It tells of a guy's feelings for some girl, and I get the impression he doesn't think he's entirely worthy of her affections. He's essentially obsessed with the chick and thinks about her when he's "out with someone," which I think simply means one of his boys, not another girl. In a way, this song pisses on the "bros before hoes" mindset. Every often, lovelust grabs hold of you and screws you up royally. You eat less, your grades fall, and you ignore your friends. Most people don't want to be alone. Loneliness can be one of the worst experiences, especially for adolescents. Usher not only found his soulmate, but he cured his own empty feelings in the process.

    He then got another girl pregnant. Uh...just kidding. Maybe.

    That aside, some of you people are ridiculous. Usher has been a star since he was in his mid-teens. He's been around for a long time and he's got a Diamond album, something not even JT has. His vocals are amazing. He's one of those people who can take a break and come back a few years later and still be on top. Not everyone has that talent. Yes, he's pretty, but who cares? It's not his fault if you were born unattractive.

    Bottom line: the man can sing. Looks are icing on the cake. He's out of the spotlight right now, but expect him to be back. He's done it before. Those RIAA numbers don't lie.
