Stay Together
N.E.R.D Lyrics

Hey, we need to stay together girl
We should remain in a relationship, my dear

Think about it (I just)
Consider the implications and possibilities of our bond

There was something about me and you girl, uh
There existed a unique connection between us

Look here
Listen closely

When God created human beings
During the time of human creation

I bet he didn't think of bombs and things (yeah)
I wager that destructive weapons were not part of His plan

I bet he wonders why
He must question the current state

Just like I never imagined it would be anything between you and me (oh)
Similar to my disbelief in the possibility of a relationship with you

I know 'cause I cry
I understand this as it brings me to tears

You were my sunrays
You provided light in my life

Without you girl there was no days
My days were devoid of joy without your presence

Never dreamt to speak the phrase
I never imagined expressing such emotions

But what the fuck just happened
However, I am astounded at the current situation

You were the heart I owned
You possessed my heart

The beat just like a metronome
Its rhythm steady and consistent

Can't breathe my heart is gone
I feel breathless, my heart is absent

Now, what the fuck just happened?
Now, I am left wondering in astonishment

What just happened girl?
Can you explain the recent events?

I was always the one behind (yeah)
I was constantly in a supportive role

You would run up and keep me in line
You would take charge and ensure I stayed on track

I looked up to you damn this hurts (oh)
I admired and respected you, this pain is intense

All these years of discipline (come on)
After all the years of self-control

Just to end up here at the end (shit)
Only to reach this unfortunate conclusion

Can you tell me what I've learned? What I've learned (uh)
Can you enlighten me about the lessons I've gained?

We need to stay together girl (oh)
We must continue our relationship, my love

Hey
Listen

You were my sunrays (oh)
You illuminated my life

Without you girl there was no days (uh)
Without you, my days lacked meaning

Never dreamt to speak the phrase
I never envisioned verbalizing these emotions

Now what the fuck just happened? (What the fuck just happened)
What has transpired that has left me so dumbfounded?

You were the heart I owned (come on)
You were the possessor of my heart

The beat just like a metronome
Its rhythm steady and constant

Can't breathe, my heart is gone
I am breathless, my heart is absent

Now, what the fuck just happened?
Now, I am left questioning in disbelief

You were my friend (oh)
You were my companion

My friend 'til the end (uh)
My confidant until the very end

You were my friend (hey)
You were someone I truly valued

Now what the fuck just happened? (Come on)
Now, what has occurred to cause this confusion?

You were my friend (oh)
You were my close associate

My friend 'til the end (hey)
My companion till the very end

You were my friend
You were an important person in my life

Now what the fuck just happened? (Look here)
Now, what has transpired to create this chaos?

Oh, we need to stay together girl (oh)
Oh, it is crucial for us to remain united, my love

Hey girl
Listen, my dear

We need to stay together girl
It is vital for us to remain in a relationship, my love

Think about it, baby
Reflect upon it, my darling

Hey, uh, ugh
Listen, um, expressing frustration

Look here, baby
Listen closely, my dear

You were my sunrays
You brought brightness and warmth to my life

Without you girl there was no days
Absence of your presence rendered my days empty

Never dreamt to speak the phrase
I never imagined uttering such words

Now what the fuck just happened? (What the fuck just happened)
Now, what unexpected turn of events has occurred?

You were the heart I owned
You possessed my heart

The beat just like a metronome
Its rhythm steady and consistent

Can't breathe, my heart is gone
I struggle to breathe, as my heart is absent

Now, what the fuck just happened?
Now, I am left questioning in disbelief

Uh, ayy, we gotta stay together girl, think about it
Hey, we must remain united, my love, contemplate this

It might just work
There is a possibility of success

Ugh, we gotta stay together girl
We absolutely need to remain in a relationship, my love

I really need you back
I deeply desire your return

Ugh, can you find it in your heart?
Can you discover the willingness within your heart?

'Cause we gotta stay together girl, I mean it, hey
Because we must continue our relationship, I am sincere

Ugh, we gotta stay together girl, yeah
We must absolutely stay united, my love

Ugh, hey baby (we gotta stay together)
Listen, my love (we must remain in a relationship)

Ohh ohh
Vocalizing emotions

Hey, it just might work, ooh ohh
Hey, there is a chance of success

Hey baby, you might just wanna think about it
Hey, my love, you should seriously consider it

It might just work for you and me
It is possible that it will be successful for us

After all
Considering everything

See 'cause you don't want me to go crazy, girl
Because you do not wish for me to lose my sanity, my dear

And chase ya, bitch
And pursue someone else, insultingly referred to as a female dog

I could really lose my mind you know?
I genuinely could become insane, you understand?

Over you
Because of my intense feelings for you

Think about it
Consider it carefully

I mean I ain't crazy or nothing
I mean, I am not mentally unstable or anything

I'm just crazy about you
I am simply infatuated with you

What's wrong with that? Huh?
Is there something objectionable about that? Why?
