(Rihanna)
Here's a little story I gotta tell
'Bout this boy I know so well
Back in the day was cool and all
He fell in love I fell in love
I thought he was the one for me
Other boys I could not see
and look what happened to our love
I'm like how could it be
It shoulda been me and you
It coulda been you and me
But boy you broke my heart
and now I'm standing there
It shoulda been me and you
It coulda been you and me
Now all I got are these photographs
All I've got
All I've got
All I've got
are these photographs
All I've got
All I've got
Its nothing without you, you, you
Got nothing without you, you, you
Got nothing without you
Now baby it's killing me
I'm saying it's killing me
The fact that you ain't around
Baby, I'm falling down
I need me a remedy
Been looking for remedys
I need you to be around
Baby I'm hurting now
I know you're a better man (when I was your girl)
This land is a better land (when you're in my world)
Today will be better, babe
The day went out yesterday, so happy and lovely
Hey, hey, hey
All I've got
All I've got
All I've got
Are these photographs
All I've got
All I've got
It's nothing without you, you, you
Got nothing without you, you, you
Got nothing without you
All I've got are these photographs
I remember when I used to make you laugh
I don't wanna be stuck in the past
But you're all that I have that I had
And I don't wanna lose what we've felt this far
This is me and you, you're my superstar
I'll give anything baby, here's my heart
My heart... my heart
(Will.I.am)
My heart don't stop
My heart be beating over
My loving never stops
Even though that it's over
Girl I been reminiscing
With that way that casanova
We back when we was kissing on your grandmama's sofa
Girl I got us luvvydubby on my photo album
I got them pictures back when I was rocking Calvin
Kleine
You had your best jeans on
Looking sexy on home
Girl why couldn't I be the one?
Why, why, why
Why couldn't I be the one?
(why,why,why)
Why couldn't you be the one?
(why,why,why)
Why couldn't you be the one?
(why,why,why)
All I've got
All I've got
It's nothing without you
All I've got
All I've got
It's nothing without you, you, you
It's nothing without you, you, you
It's nothing without you
All I've got
It's nothing without
All I've got
It's nothing without
All I've got
All I've got are these photographs
