[Intro: Keri Hilson talking]
A huh huh, not again
Ohh, this ain’t supposed to happen to me
[Break: Kanye West]
Keep rocking and keep knocking
Whether you Louboutin-ed up or Reebok-in
You see the hate that they serving on a platter
So what we gonna have, dessert or disaster
[Verse 1: Keri Hilson]
I never thought I’d be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I’m a race but I already won first place
I never thought I’d fall for you as hard as I did
You got me thinking bout our life, our house, and kids
Every morning I look at you and smile
Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down, knocked me down
[Hook: Keri Hilson]
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]
I never thought I’d hear myself say
Y’all go ahead
I think I’m going to kick it with my girl today
I used to be commander-in-chief of my pimp ship flying high
Til I met this pretty little missile, shot me out the sky
Hey, so now I’m crashing
Don’t know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could go back and make it happen faster
Don’t you know I would baby if I could
Miss Independent, the load never too much, she helping me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight
Girl sometimes love
[Hook]
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Tell me now, can you make it past your Caspers
So we can finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dream
That seem to only date the head of football teams
And I was the cla** clown that always kept you laughing
We were never meant to be baby we just happened
So please don’t mess up the trick
Hey Young World, I’m the new Slick Rick
They say I move too quick but we can’t let this moment pa** us
Let the hourgla** pa** right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash right before my gla**es
So I wrote this love letter right before my cla**es
How could a goddess ask someone that’s only average
For advice, OMG, you listen to that b**h
Woe is me baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic
I was flying now I’m crashing
This is Bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I’m mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now, I’m gon’ ask him
[Verse 4: Keri Hilson]
So you got to take the good with the bad, happy and the sad
And let it bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh, cause I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did
I don’t want to fall back on my face again
I’ll admit it, I was scared to act to love’s call
And if it hits better make it worth the fall
[Hook]
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down
[Outro: Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo]
Won’t see it coming when it happens
But when it happens
You’re gonna feel it let me tell you now
You see when love comes and knocks you down
Yeah
Won’t see it coming when it happens
But when it happens
You’re gonna feel it let me tell you now
You see when love comes and knocks you down
Yeah
