    Lyrics - "Foolish"
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    Baby I don't know why ya treatin me so bad
    You said you love me, no one above me
    And I was all you had
    And though my heart is beating for you
    I can't stop crying
    I don't know how
    I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
    See when I'm home, I'm all alone
    And you are always gone
    And boy, you know I really love you
    I can't deny
    I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
    after all these years
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    Oohhhhh
    I trusted you, I trusted you
    So sad, so sad
    what love will make you do
    All the things that we accept
    Be the things that we regret
    To all of my ladies (ladies)
    Feel me c'mon sing with me
    See, when I get the strength to leave
    You always tell me that you need me
    And I'm weak cause I believe you
    And I'm mad because I love you
    So I stop and think that maybe
    You can learn to appreciate me
    Then it all remains the same that
    You ain't never gonna change
    (never gonna change, never gonna change)
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while im with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while im with you
    And though my heart can't take no more
    I keep on running back to you
    Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
    Boy I gave you all my heart
    And all you do is tear it up
    Looking out my window
    Knowing that I should go
    Even when I pack my bags
    This something always hold me back

    Ashanti has truly found her niche as a vocalist. Her voice, a light syrupy soprano glides over whatever she sings. No need to over exhaust or strain your voice tryna hit those notes in full voice; her strength has always been in her pretty tone.

    People get on her not being too powerful vocally but this was excellent

    • @keller109
      @keller109 7 років тому +46

      That's because people who don't actually know anything as far as how music works assume that a good singer is someone that is "powerful" and can hit a bunch of high notes. A good singer has excellent intonation, excellent control of their voice and is in tune. That is a good singer. Everyone has a different timbre. Ashanti's tone is very light and wispy- a tone that I personally prefer over the "powerful" ones. Despite what people may think, she knows what she's doing. This was great.

    I always liked this song. She did a great job with it. I don't know why she gets dogged. She's very pretty, and sings better than lots of others. Her voice is very pleasant to listen to, and it's uniquely hers in the midst of the cookie cutter sound of today. At least I can recognize her voice.

    I do not understand the constant unfair criticism this woman faces - She has *written* a huge number of hits for herself and other artists, there's plenty of live evidence of her considerable vocal abilities, she shrewdly navigated a difficult situation with Murder Inc and Irv Gotti in the early 2000s, and despite some horrible things other artists have said to her over the years - she's never allowed herself to be drawn into a mud slinging match.
