Lyrics of Angie Stone - I Wasn't Kidding from lyricsmania

Ooohh yeah, ooohhooooo,
Ohhh, hoooo bayaaayyyyyy
Ooooohhhoooooo,
Eeeeeeewwwwww, eeewww, eeww, ew!

I wasn't scared of love, til I met you
I did everything that you wanted me to
You're love was so demanding
You left me out here standing

I hid those tears for as long as I could
Try to stop me now, I wish you would!
You think you have me, baby
You must be so damn(ed) crazy

My joy, unh(and), my pain
Things you don't understand
This love in my hand
Something I never planned
So far away, baby, it's just too late
Cause you don't know how to appreciate

I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby
Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately
You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe
But, you're gonna miss my love always

I never thought that pain could be this(that) cruel
And to think it all came from you
You met me with love's flame
Tryin' na tell me I was insane

What made you think I'd stay forever?
It was always me who kept us together
Mmmm, messed up, ya heard me! Oh yeah!
The truth is, you don't deserve me
My joy, unh (and), my pain, things you don't understand

This love in my hand
Something I never planned
So far away, baby, it's just too late
Cause you don't know how to appreciate

I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby
Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately
You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe
But, you're gonna miss my love always

I hate to announce what's on my mind
But, why couldn't love work out this time?
You know you can't dim this love that shine's
I'm outta here baby, I'm no longer your lady

I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby
Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately
You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe
But, you're gonna miss my love always

Stone Hits: The Very Best of Angie Stone

Review by Rob Theakston

Angie Stone came to prominence at a time when neo-soul divas were exploding faster than pop rocks. With the chart onslaught of Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, and Macy Gray, it was easy for Stone to get lost in the undertow of media hype surrounding the movement. But quietly and evenhandedly she amassed a three-record set of smooth neo-soul and contemporary R&B numbers that rival and sometimes best the output of her contemporaries. So it seems premature in a five-year career to have a best-of compilation out, but these 15 selections (featuring a couple newly minted tunes mixed in for good measure and buyer incentive) add up to a most satisfying listening experience. With her vocal delivery, Stone belts tunes out better than most (save for Scott, but comparing vocal stylings between the two is comparing apples and oranges), and covers some of soul music's more obscure classics, making them her own with reverence and ease. And it seems that with each new release she becomes more focused and distinct from her contemporaries, and as a result turns out one of the better greatest-hits compilations from this era. It'll be interesting to see the direction Angie Stone travels next.
