Mariah Carey f/ Jadakiss & Styles P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you left, I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please
'Cause we belong together (ha ha, ha ha)

(Remix, Remix)
(Desert Storm)
Uh, yo
Show your respect whenever you hear me or see me
This is The Emancipation of Mimi
Hot like a real fever, the real diva
So successful, yet still so eager
No matter what they say, it's on forever
It's our time right now, more than ever
'Til the death, we gon' get it on together
And MC, you know we belong together (come on)
Come on

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I only think of you
On two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke
If I could be wit' you
Only you can make it right
Make it right, make it right

We belong together like the sun in the summertime
Bounce in a lemon Range
Skip in a Hummer lime
P and Kiss in and out
Mariah on the other line
Baby, I'mma come back
Believe it'll come a time
We belong together like peanut butter and jelly
Februaries and skellies, after-parties and tellies
Feel you in my stomach like you a part of my belly
Baby I'ma come back, hope every part of you ready

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singin' to me "If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight"
Boy, I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, cryin'
Tryin' to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life
Baby (let's go)

You gon' need a shoulder to cry on
Classic Mustang Cobra to ride on
Past is the past, just let it be bygones
Matter of fact, I know a fly song that we could vibe on
Let's get it straight
If it's the 6 or the quarter to eight
Then I'm thowin' Babyface or Shai on
Yeah, Kiss, Ghost and MC
Get close and toast to the diva and MC's
Uh, the trees will blow
Big cups, Pinot Grigio
Take it easy, though
We belong together, we know that
Now, I think that it's 'bout time we show that
Even though every moment won't be a Kodak
Sometimes we argue
I spazz out, grab my bozak
Come back, not 'cause I have to, I want to
And naw, I don't just wanna have you
I want you (I want you)

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

This is the Desert Storm Remix (We belong together)
Oh baby, baby, we belong together
DJ Clue, Desert Storm
Come back, baby, please
We belong together (MC)
Woah oh, come back, baby, please
It's still so hard to believe
We belong together




Yeah (We back baby)
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

Overall Meaning

"We Belong Together" is a ballad song by Mariah Carey, which was released in 2005 as the second single from Carey's album, The Emancipation of Mimi. The song was initially inspired by the emotions Carey felt after her separation from her spouse at the time, Tommy Mottola. The lyrics are personal and specific, yet universal as it tells a story of heartbreak, nostalgia, and longing for a former lover. Carey's vocals are smooth, and the melody carries a sense of pain and heartache that many can relate to.


The song is divided into three sections: Carey's verses, a rap solo by Jadakiss, and a sung chorus with a sample from Bobby Womack's "If You Think You're Lonely Now." Mariah Carey sings her verses in a dramatic and emotional tone that presents her vulnerability and sadness. The rap verse by Jadakiss gives the song an unexpected twist, adding another layer of emotion and pain. The chorus, which features the sample of Womack's song, is sung with a sense of hope, as though Carey is assuring herself that they will "belong together" eventually.


The song has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, topping charts in the United States as well as in other countries. It won multiple awards, including a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. It was also ranked #1 on various year-end charts and decade-end charts, making it one of the most iconic and successful songs in Mariah Carey's career.


Line by Line Meaning

When you left, I lost a part of me
My heart and soul were intertwined with yours, and when you left, you took a piece of me with you.


It's still so hard to believe
Even though it's been some time since you left, I still can't believe that you're not by my side.


Come back, baby, please
My heart aches for you to return to me.


'Cause we belong together (ha ha, ha ha)
No matter what has happened or what will happen, we are meant to be together.


I lost a part of me When you left, boy, can't you see Boy, come back baby please 'Cause we belong together
I am incomplete without you, and nothing can fix that but your return. We belong together.


Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough? Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up? Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better Oh, baby baby, we belong together
Without you, I have no one to turn to for comfort, for a listening ear, or for love. You are the one for me, and no one could ever replace you.

We are perfect for each other, like various pairs that complement each other perfectly. I feel your absence, your presence, and everything in between in my being. We will be reunited again, and I hope you are ready for us to belong together once more.

The thought of you leaving me keeps me up at night, and it hurts so badly. Even listening to Bobby Womack's music reminds me of you and my loneliness. I am angry, sad, and confused as to where things went wrong, and this song is only a reflection of what I am feeling. I need you to come back into my life, now.
