Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.

I used to think that you were down
But when times got rough i saw the truth
I thought i found a design of love that could be real life
But our hearts drifted apart
They no longer bind
Nothing's alright you're out of my mind
I remember when you wouldn't come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
When you wouldn't talk to me
Now you see me everyday on tv
You tried to play me and got played in return
Messed up on a real man, now your bridges are burned
Gave me time to figure out your scheme it's all a dream now
Trying to get back in and you don't know how
Now your all out of order and denial
I remember when you wouldn't come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
I remember when you wouldn't come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
Gave me time to figure out your scheme it's all a dream now
You're trying to get back in and you don't know how
There's no way no how
I remember when you wouldn't come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
I remember when you wouldn't come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
The lyrics to Boyz II Men's song "I" are about a failed relationship and how one of the partners is trying to come back after being out of the picture for a while. The singer is reminiscing on how he used to think that his partner was committed to the relationship, but when things got rough, he saw the truth. Their hearts have drifted apart, and the relationship is now over, with nothing being alright and his partner being out of his mind.
He remembers when his partner wouldn't come around, but now they want to be down again. However, he is not supposed to let them back in no way. His partner tried to play him before, but now they have been played in return. They messed up on a real man, and now their bridges are burned.
The singer gave himself time to figure out his partner's scheme, and now he knows it was all a dream. He cannot let them back in because they don't know how to stay committed to the relationship, and he doesn't want to go through that again. Overall, the lyrics are about the singer realizing the truth about his partner, and how he is not willing to let them back into his life.

I used to think that you were down
I once believed that you were a true friend
But when times got rough i saw the truth
However, when challenges arose, I realized that you weren't loyal
I thought i found a design of love that could be real life
I hoped that we had a solid friendship that could last
But our hearts drifted apart
Unfortunately, our connection faded away
They no longer bind
Our bond is no longer strong
Nothing's alright you're out of my mind
Everything is not okay, and I have moved on from you
I remember when you wouldn't come around
I recall when you used to avoid me
Now you want to be down
But now you desire to be part of my life
Not supposed to let you back in no way
However, I cannot let you back in my life
When you wouldn't talk to me
I recollect the period when you ignored me
Now you see me everyday on tv
Now you see me in the media all the time
You tried to play me and got played in return
You attempted to deceive me, but you ended up getting deceived
Messed up on a real man, now your bridges are burned
You missed out on a genuine and respectable person, and now our connection is severed
Gave me time to figure out your scheme it's all a dream now
You gave me time to see through your manipulation tactics and realize that our friendship was never genuine
You're trying to get back in and you don't know how
Now you are making an attempt to reconnect with me, but you do not know how to go about it
There's no way no how
However, I am resolved that it cannot happen
