The group is made up of twin lead singers Brian Casey (nicknamed Brasco) and Brandon Casey (Case Dinero) (both born October 13, 1975), Kyle Norman (Quick), and Richard Wingo (Wingo).

Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group, with a style similar to New Edition, Jodeci, and Dru Hill, has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.

Identical twin brothers Brian Casey and Brandon Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo--known collectively as Jagged Edge--have built the group's career and reputation from one simple premise: make great music and make sure the music's for real.

2) A melodic rock band, Jagged Edge UK featuring guitarist Myke Gray. Released their debut EP, Trouble in early 1990, followed by the full-length Fuel For Your Soul .

3) Drum & Bass collaboration of Optical & Ryme Tyme from the United Kingdom

Hard!
Hard!

[Chorus]
Every single night
I've been without you girl
Is just so hard

Gotta take a flight south
'Cause I know that I
was too hard
Should a been loving you (should a been loving)
I should a been loving you (should a been loving)

Girl I hate to say, but I gotta get back my name
I don't really hold my chain
To have money enough to get on this plane
And come and get my love
I ain't leaving til I get my love
Can you resist my heart and my soul?

[Hook]
I'm saying sorry now (saying sorry now)
But I know that ain't gonna cut it
So I'm changing now (so I'm changing now)
Yes I am (yes I am)

[Chorus: x 2]

Gotta take a flight south
Cause I know that I was too hard
Should a been loving you (should a been loving)
I should a been loving you (should a been loving)

Really heh
Oh oh oh ooh
Really heh
Oh oh oh ooh
Really heh
Oh oh oh ooh
Really heh yeah

ain't nobody ever loved me like you
I just figured it out
Maybe it's too late for me and you
I just can't picture that
(Hope it's not too late, Not too late for us)
Sometimes I feel like
Me and you's a must

[Hook]

[Chorus: x 2]

Gotta take a flight south
'Cause I know that I was too hard
Should a been loving you (should a been loving)
I should a been loving you (shoul da been loving)

[Bridge]
Should a been loving
Should a been loving, loving you
Should a been loving

Should a been loving, loving you
Should a been loving
