Slept on him or not, doesn't matter. He went on writing songs for Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Music Soulchild, Usher's Crash song last year and many other songs for artists. He still doing his thing on the songwriting side.
Crazy, I never paid attention to the lyrics of this song. But after hearing it clearly, it sends out a good message. This is for all u brothas out there that are leading girls on, making them think they're the one, but just want one thing. Keep it real with them and tell them what you really want etc, don't hurt anyone
I am going through this now just a whole year of my life waisted he just wanted money and sex. He sold me a fake dream then he got back with a ex girlfriend from high school behind my back. He dumped me and moved away with her they just had a beautiful wedding May 1st I never got an apology or anything. He left me with a broken heart and I still don't understand why he chose me to do that to it's not right. I'm so broken I don't know what else to do I'm tired of crying myself to sleep wondering why me 💔💔💔😭😭😭
This is such pure, timeless R&B magic that is truly underrated. The part where he interpolates DeBarge's "Time Will Reveal," is so beautiful, and ethereal--it gets me every time.
@@wakeupblackpeople5127 I'M TELLING Y0U!😜👍🏾 I FELL IN L0VE WITH THIS S0NG THE VERY 1'ST TIME I HEARD IT 0N THE RADI0 📻 &106 PARK! 🦾💕 WHEN I SAY I WANT T00 G0 BACK JUST 0NE☝🏾M0E TIME MAN 🗣️N0🛑🧢CAP!🤟🏾✌🏾🤞🏾
yessss big ass blue tooth with the braids!!! come thru clear greasy hair store lip gloss!!! one time fitted with the blazer!!! ughh u gotta love the early 2000's lmfao!
I agree but he didn't become bitter ended up writing some big hits. Motown didn't do him right . Very proud of my cousin. He is very talented and humble man.
I kno I was 16 and I’m the streets had kids early so I knew bout this message he was bringing.but he did not pursue his career like he should’ve or j he had wake ass management.I was in love with this song coming from a young head
When my high-school love broke up with me I was devastated but now I'm so happy he did that for me it helped me find the love of my life who I've been with going on 16 years married for almost 6 crazy how you look back and just be like wow Thank you dude lol 😂❤ cause back then I thought I was gonna die without him now im safe happy and not in them streets which is exactly what he wanted for me he said im doing this for your well being and now I look at him who now is an alcoholic no job multiple kids and two baby moms who he go back and forth with he really did love me cause he knew what his future was gonna be and he saved me from it Till this day just wanna say Thank you for loving me that much ♥
I was today years old when I realized this is a break up song lol... I always thought he said "I think you're beautiful and I don't want to let you go". So wait... back in the days .. all the times I closed my eyes and held a tight fist while thinking about my crush ... I was manifesting her away from me :(
When a guy is young, it's just not realistic to be what a lot of females expect and vice versa. We learn through experience what we're told/sold is bs and adjust as we go. AKA LIFE
This dude deserved more shine than people like Mario, Llyod, etc. All his songs rode and were real. Damn, take me back to the 90s/early 2ks when music was still good
This song always reminded me of "where I wanna be" by Donnell jones ...this one and his other song "without you" stayed in rotation in my headphones back in the day.
Actually my cousin has plenty of songs!! And also writes them as well maybe you should start looking at these artists todays song!! You will see his name!
UNDERRATED!!!! I've been a fan since 2000, when I discovered this beautiful soul in college, and wish he would have made it B.I.G.! Still listening in 2021!

Why can't men these days be this honest.. It will save a lot of wasted time and energy! I rather you tell me the truth then waste my time!

Ikr
Even though cheating is wrong, telling her that you cheat would defeat the purpose. They don't want lose that person.
It's a video. Never happens in real life
E B they not raised like this no more
BET Midnight Love days. I used to stay up to watch that and uncut lol.
Tyrres

True but first he led her on before telling her this so there is no difference it still hurts. I've been there
@@joelad5144 he ain't lead her on this was during the talking phase baby

Listing in 2021. This dude was ahead of his time with this one. This is kinda timeless the subject matter is anyway

It’s really just a knock off version of (Donnell Jones - where I wanna be) but it is fire tho

+Marie Dodds I always wondered why this song reminded me of Donnell Jones

Definition of a beautiful black woman right there.
Back when music had substance
True indeed

Beautiful, Talented songwriter and singer. He's behind the scenes now. Helping others to become the best. Such talent and he's handsome.
I remember singing back up for him my first year out of high school. Man those were the days. Real good dude too
This is dope, Latif is so talented and it'd sad he didn't get more respect and exposure.
yessss big ass blue tooth with the braids!!! come thru clear greasy hair store lip gloss!!! one time fitted with the blazer!!! ughh u gotta love the early 2000's lmfao!

Been my #3 favorite R&B song since i was 17 in 2003
This song always reminded me of "where I wanna be" by Donnell jones ...this one and his other song "without you" stayed in rotation in my headphones back in the day.
The chords are very similar
He wrote this song
It’s 2018 and I still have this in the rotation! This is real R&B! Take me back to the 90’s and early 2000’s!!
Classic album
This dude had a solid album too bad he couldn't get another hit after this song came out!
imagine if he was white with blond hair lol
^ what's your point?
stan ford
Actually my cousin has plenty of songs!! And also writes them as well maybe you should start looking at these artists todays song!! You will see his name!
Chantel B I know I seen Corey Latif's name on other artists song credits I was just speaking in terms of his singing career thanks though!
I love this song. They didnt give him no air time. He needed to be recognized.
Still listening in 2020.... damn this was my song!!!
He was whippin a Maserati before all these rappers started talkin about em in their songs. #02'-03'
Darrius
I was 16 when this came out...still a hit! Most honest breakup song ever

When life was simple.
Back when u could SEND someone a SONG to TELL THEM how u FEEL.
You still can.. here in 2022 listening to this because the man who would play this song for me years ago just came back to say hes ready...
