have you ever
Brandy & Monica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever?

Have you ever been in love, been in love so bad?
You'd do anything to make them understand?
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away?
You'd give anything to make them feel the same

Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say and you don't know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever?

Ooh, have you ever found the one you've dreamed of all your life?
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to?
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you

Have you ever closed your eyes and dreamed that they were there?
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
(Makes you wanna break down and cry)
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever, ever, ever, ever?

Ooh, what do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby?
What do I gotta say to get your heart?
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world 'cause, baby, I can't sleep

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
(Breaks you up inside)
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever?

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever?





Ooh, have you ever/

This song is almost everything I want to say, in the most basic way, but also how I feel and that I am going through, with my recent ex.
This song was one of the many I listened to in high school when it came out, around that time.
Here I am, all these years later and it really means something perfect to me now.. 😢
Our song together was chosen almost 5 yrs ago and was Jeff Healey, Angel Eyes.
It became our song after he told me it’s the song that made him emotional when we first started dating and it’s the one he most attributed to us from the very beginning.
I can’t listen to it without crying.

I’ve never in my life loved someone like this. Head over heels, in love.
Unconditional.
I doubt I’ll ever find it again. I’m not that young anymore.

Why aren’t time machines available yet ??? 😢❤😂 haha

I learned a lot through our time. I just wish I could go back.
Sorry to unload. BRANDY got me going with this oldie from high school :)

God bless love. Old & new …
