There She Was
Jumpsteady Lyrics

Downtown street corner backside before my eyes
As I was walking down a street corner, I noticed a woman's backside

First thing I noticed was the curve of her thighs
Among all her features, I was initially struck by the curvature of her thighs

Her ass was causin' a scene fillin' those jeans
Her curvy butt was drawing attention, filling her jeans to perfection

Had to check her from the front know what I mean
I moved around to the front to get a better look at her

Her body made my fantasies become undone
Her body was so perfect that it made me forget about all my fantasies and focus on her

Eyes like an ocean wicked smile the sun
She had beautiful, deep eyes that were like an ocean, and when she smiled, it lit up her face like the sun

Hair wavy brown she would turn up any frown
Her wavy brown hair had the power to turn a frown upside down

Felt the crush inside as I approached her on the down
I felt a strong attraction as I approached her

Damn girl what's your name where you from
I asked her name and where she was from

I wanted you to know that you definitely got it goin' On
I wanted to let her know that I found her very attractive

We kicked it for awhile as I admired her style
We hung out for a while and I appreciated her style and personality

Puerto Rican honey from the Bronx kinda wild
She was a wild Puerto Rican woman from the Bronx

She flirted in a sexy way and made me laugh
She playfully flirted with me in a sexy way and made me laugh

She a weaved a spell on my heart similar to witchcraft
Her charm and allure had an intense effect on me, like a spell cast by a witch

We exchanged numbers as we parted ways
We traded phone numbers as we said goodbye

I felt a pull from inside from where my soul lays
I felt a strong emotional connection from deep inside me

Be there for you gonna ride or die
I will always be there for you, even through the hardest times

This love keeps us unified
Our love keeps us together and connected

You're the friend that I most desire
You are the friend that I want and need the most

Look into your eyes keeps me inspired
Looking into your eyes gives me inspiration and motivation

Laid low for awhile she had guys lined by the mile
She played hard to get for a while, and many guys were interested in her

Meanwhile had to smile 'cause their efforts were futile
I had to smile because I knew their efforts were pointless, as she was already interested in me

She seen me not sweatin her as somethin' new
She noticed that I wasn't trying too hard to impress her, which she found appealing

Next thing I knew she was callin' me her boo
Before I knew it, she was calling me her lover

Then jet away on escapades as we serenade
We went on exciting adventures and serenaded each other

New York and back makin' out on the highway
We drove on the highway, making out and having fun, all the way to New York and back

Rollin' rough streets in a city without sleep
We drove around challenging and dangerous parts of the city, without any sleep

Met her peeps as at night in clubs we creep
We met her friends and hung out in clubs late at night

Chaotic attitude led to romantic interludes
Our wild and chaotic attitudes often led to romantic moments together

Pleasure was so great had to give her my gratitude
The pleasure and joy we shared was so great that I had to show her my gratitude

We grew from each other and she made me strong
We learned and grew together, and she made me a stronger person

Made me want to live a better life right my wrongs
She inspired me to become a better person and correct my mistakes

I knew right then she was the girl for me
I realized that she was the perfect girl for me

As our love grew our chemistry was plain to see
As we fell more in love, our chemistry became obvious to everyone

Back then I had nothin' but she said she didn't care
At that time, I had nothing to offer her, but she didn't mind

She said take me home so I took her there
She asked me to take her home, so I did

Turn the wheel of time I pursue the dream of a rhyme
As time went on, I pursued my dream of becoming a successful musician

Never forget her brave sacrifice so I could shine
I will never forget the sacrifices she made to support me and help me achieve my goals

Our little baby girl was growin' in the world
We had a daughter together, who was growing up in the world

I was jumpin' state to state as a dream unfurled
As my music career took off, I was constantly traveling from state to state

As we were separated she was on my mind
Even when we were apart, she was always on my mind

We stayed connected by the phone droppin' lines
We stayed connected by talking on the phone and leaving each other messages

Everyday in school as a rule she called me
Our daughter would call me every day while she was at school

Crashed her car on the boulevard she called me
When our daughter got into a car accident, she called me right away

Puttin' on shows on the road I called her
When I was performing in shows on the road, I would call her to let her know how it went

Locked up for an assault bust I called her
When I got arrested for assault, I called her for support and comfort

Through all our lows there she was by my side
She was there for me through all the tough times we faced together

There she was even when I did her wong at times
She was still there for me, even when I made mistakes and wronged her

We shared many fears along with many tears
We faced many fears and shed many tears together

She remains the girl of my dreams throughout the years
Even after all these years, she is still the woman of my dreams

She's my true friend through our pride unified
She is my true friend, and our love unites us despite our pride and differences

So by and by we gonna ride or die
We will stick together and be there for each other through thick and thin

When I look into her eyes connected to her soul
When I look into her eyes, I feel a deep connection to her soul

I'm reminded of somethin' I realized long ago
Looking into her eyes reminds me of something I realized a long time ago

I'll be there for her for as long as I live
I will always be there for her for as long as I live

And shall always love her as this song I give
I will always love her, and this song is my way of expressing that love
