    Lyrics:
    How did you get here? Nobody's supposed to be here
    I tried that love thing for the last time
    My heart says "No, no." Nobody's supposed to be here
    But you came along and changed my mind

      Some of us women were born with a natural bbl, some of us women are Blessed to afford lace fronts due to cancer, thyroid, or alopecia hair loss. Some of us refrain from cursing too. None of that affects you as a woman other than your own personal insecurities. Her vocal gift has nothing to do with the packaging it comes in either. Nor does it validate it. Check yourself 💯

    Well … I don’t know how to explain how I feel, what I feel, when I listen to this song.
    This is what is called a masterpiece. Everything in this song, in my eyes, is perfect. Ask me the definition of perfection, and I’ll will tell you this song. How can aligning all these notes, using these instrument, can create something so beautiful ? How can someone embodize so perfectly the spirit of the song, so it just becomes an archetype, a masterpiece. The lyrics, and the voice make a perfect combo, that flows like a river, calm, yet suddenly so STRONG, that litterally re-create life in the soul.
    This sounds like sent directly from God.

      same story with tamia and many other great talents. its because show business with hollywood is dirty business. im guessing these lovely ladies just wanted to sing, but didnt wanna sell their body and souls to get exploited.

God came to me though. He really did... I fell in love with Jesus, because His love was so overwhelming. I never got that tattoo. He has loved me and helped me to love again.

She deserves to be a star all on her own.

    Only African women can have this kind of powerful, sulfurous, and candid voice due to the melanin they possess. African people are truly the first chosen children of God/Yawe/Allah/ Lagor/Zran/Gnamien... The first time I listened to this song I was in high school in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire ( Ivory Coast ) in 1998. It was the radio station called: " Radio Nostalgie" which was playing this. At this time living in a French-speaking country, I was not quite well understanding all the words she was saying, but the voice, the groove and the smoothness of the song got me.I was mesmerized by her splendid voice. Until today, she is among one of my best females R&B favorites.

Yes any race can sing with such soul, passion, and conviction (like Jessie J, Tori Kelly, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguleria, Justin Timberlake, Nick Jonas, Robin Thicke) but where did their roots start? A lot of them mention black soul singers in their interviews. We don't do it better but we are the foundation of soulful music dating back to the slavery days and that can never be taken away from our culture...

    How did you get here
    Nobody's supposed to be here
    I've tried that love thing for the last time
    My heart says no, no
    Nobody's supposed to be here
    But you came along and changed my mind (my mind, my mind)
    I've spent all my life
    On a search to find
    The love who'll stay for eternity
    The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
    But when I turned around
    Again love has knocked me down
    My heart got broken
    Oh, it hurt so bad
    I'm sad to say love wins again
    So I place my heart under lock and key (ooh, yeah)
    To take some time and take care of me
    But I turn around and you're standing here
    How did you get here?

    Nobody's supposed to be here (nobody's supposed to be here)
    But you came along and changed my mind (my mind, my mind)
    This time I swear I'm through
    But if only you knew
    How many times I've said those words
    Then fall again, when will I ever learn?
    Knowing these tears I've cried
    This lovely black butterfly
    Must take a chance and spread my wings
    Love can make you do some crazy things
    So I place my heart under lock and key (ooh, yeah-yeah)
    To take some time and take care of me (mm-hmm)
    But I turn around and you're standing here
    How did you?
    Standing here
    How did you get here? (Yeah, yeah)
    No, nobody
    No, no, no, no, no, no (shoo-do-doo, nobody's supposed to be here)
    Nobody
    No, no, no, no, no
    No, no, no, no, no
    No
    How did you get here?
    Nobody's supposed to be here (yeah, oh yeah)

    Deborah Cox was very underrated...she was one of the best female vocalist from the 90s

    2023, 29 years old. When I think of the beauty, soul, pain & passion of the black woman. This song has always came to mind ❤ since I was a child. But now as a grown woman and mother, it makes so much sense. Beautiful art is always timeless ❤❤❤
