Just Like That
Kiley Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could have any man I want
But these days it seems
Like all the good men are gone
Everywhere I turn
There's someone new
Trying to game me
That ain't what I need
To kiss me like that
(I wish I had him to)
To miss me like that
(I wish I had someone to)
To hug me like that
(Oh, I wish I had him to)
To love me like that
So you say you don't know
If he's quite what you need
You wish you could
Live the single life just like me
But he's a good man
At least from what I can see
Believe me this life is
Not at all what it seems
I wish I could be in your shoes
I would never hate like you
I don't understand why you do
I just wish I had someone to
To kiss me like that
(I wish I had him to)
To miss me like that
(Oh, I wish I had him to)
To hug me like that
(I wish I had him to)
To love me like that
(I wish to)
To kiss me like that
(Oh, I wish)
To miss me like that
(I wish I had someone to)
To hug me like that
(And I wish I had someone to)
To love me like that
Sit through Monday night football
Make him quit bugging with phone calls
And anything to be at all like you
Don't need to lie to me girlfriend
You got a cool relationship
Somebody down for you
Don't trip, it's true
I just wish I had somebody to
To kiss me like that
(And I wish)
To miss me like that
(I just want him to)
To hug me like that
(And I wish they would love me)
To love me like that
(I just wish somebody would miss me)
To kiss me like that
To miss me like that
(And I want him to hug me)
To hug me like that
(Maybe to)
To love me like that
(Oh how I wish they would)
To kiss me like that
(Justâ?¦)
To miss me like that
(And I want him to hug me)
To hug me like that
(And I want him to love me)
To love me like that
(Oh, I)
To kiss me like that
(Oh, I)
To miss me like that
(Ohâ?¦)
To hug me like that
(Oh, to kiss, to love, to miss, to hug)
To love me like that

I've listened to a few songs from this album and it's evident Timbaland was trying too hard to make her vocal arrangements sound similar to Aaliyah. There was just no uniqueness evident with this album. And with it being so soon after Aaliyah's death, people didn't want to hear a replica of Aaliyah. I honestly still wouldn't. The songs aren't the greatest lyrically either. I've heard this artist's more recent covers and her voice is way better, and too good, for the likes of this album. I like Timbaland, but his beats drown out most of her vocals and don't showcase her true vocal range. This girl can SANG and her voice is better than being crowded out by a bunch of beats and loops. It may suck, but she was better off being shelved. No one wants to be known as an Aaliyah copycat or artist with subpar fluffy pop-friendly lyrics. Better to be known by true talent with good lyrics and good vocals.

I agree I love Timbaland too. He should’ve had other producers give her ballads to showcase her vocal ranges

Candice Nelson and Static do not write even remotely similarly. Kiley never released her album because Timbaland was burying his artists in artist debt with how much he was charging the label for his production. There was no Kiley was going to recoup when Make me a Song flopped and Interscope wasn't taking chances after pumping all that cash into Ms. Jade.

What more off putting the music doesn’t match the image and not I need culture appropriation. But it’s seems like trying to hard . But you can still hear her voice talent on the track
