Lirik Lagu Side Effects ~ Mariah Carey feat. Young Jeezy

It's M.C. and Y.J

Another hit, OK

We lookin' fly, takin' off

Saw us on a runway

On any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

They try to confuse me

I never let 'em use me

I was a girl, you was the man

I was too young to understand

I was naïve, I just believed

Everything that you told me

Said you were strong, protecting me

Then I found out that you were weak

Keeping me there, under your thumb

'Cause you were scared that I'd become much

More than you could handle

Shining like a chandelier

That decorated every room inside

The private hell we built

And I dealt with it

Like a kid, I wished I could fly away, but instead

I kept my tears inside

'Cause I knew if I started, I'd keep cryin'

For the rest of my life with you

I finally built up the strength to walk away

Don't regret it, but I still live with the side effects

Waking up scared some nights

Still dreaming about them violent times

Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside

Still a little defensive, thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life

Still a little depressed inside

I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Vacant inside, no one was there

Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet

Once in a while, put up a fight

It's just too much, night after night

After a while, I would just lie

You was dead wrong, said you was right

Did what I could just to survive

Couldn't believe this was my life

Flickering like a candle

Doing my best to handle sleeping with the enemy

Aware that he was smothering every last part of me

So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave

Kept the tears inside

'Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying

For the rest of my life with you

I finally built up the strength to walk away

Don't regret it, but I still live with the side effects

Waking up scared some nights

Still dreaming about them violent times

Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside

Still a little defensive, thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life

Still a little depressed inside

I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Hey, hey, hey, let's go!)

Hey, magnifical, or should I say magnificent? (Yeah)

Ain't nothing worth your happiness

And I ain't caring who you're with

Misery loves company

So we ain't tryna hang with y'all

Hurt you if you let 'em in

Gotta keep your circle small

Keep tryin' to play apology

I tell him I ain't bowlin' though

Think they want me outta here

I tell 'em I ain't goin' though

Side effects be drowsiness, loneliness

How is this?

I think the call it hateration

What can you prescribe for this?

Forgive, but I can't forget

Every day I deal with this

I live with the side effects

But I ain't gon' let them get the best of me (I forgive)

Forgive, but I can't forget (My)

Every day I deal with this

I live with the side effects

But I ain't gon' let them get the best of me (Hey, oh)

I kept my tears inside

'Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying

For the rest of my life with you

I finally built up the strength to walk away

(The strength to walk away)

Don't regret it, but I still live with the side effects

Waking up scared some nights (Hey, hey)

Still dreaming about them violent times (Said I still wake up)

Still a little protective about the people that I let inside (Cryin)

Still a little defensive, thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life

Still a little depressed inside

I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Side effects (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
