now when i am looking at you
all i see is clear
and nothing hat is in this world
won't matter to me
just as long as i have you near
i slept right off the highest mountain
thinking i can pop the sky
but this would be the last time you made me cry
cause i can see nothing but smoke ..
a ghost nothing but a ghost to me
a ghost and you do not see slow mo
nothing but a ghost to me
a ghost and you do not see slow mo
you used to be my dream girl all you do is .. go go go
now i understand what you took me through
baby you lost your ways
i used to feel i was on the top of the world
with you i'll go anywhere
but then i wake up at the bottom of the ..
The lyrics of R. Kelly's song "Ghost" portray a sense of disillusionment and heartbreak within a relationship. The singer begins by reminiscing about the past, when there were many girls in their life. However, now when they look at their partner, everything becomes clear, and nothing else in the world matters as long as they have them near. The singer expresses their vulnerability and how they were willing to give up everything for their partner, even risking their own well-being by sleeping off the highest mountain, metaphorically suggesting they were willing to go to great lengths for love. But despite their efforts to make their partner stay, they realize that this will be the last time they allow themselves to be hurt. They compare their partner to a ghost, emphasizing that they feel unseen, ignored, and disregarded by them. The constant "go go go" of their partner suggests a lack of commitment or emotional availability, which leaves the singer feeling lost and at the bottom of their own emotional state.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disappointment and frustration in a relationship where one person feels undervalued and unappreciated. The metaphorical use of a ghost highlights the feeling of being invisible and ignored by their partner. The lyrics suggest a realization that their partner has lost their way and that the singer deserves better.

There used to be many girls in my life before
now when i am looking at you
But now when I look at you
all i see is clear
I see everything clearly
and nothing hat is in this world
And nothing else in this world
won't matter to me
Seems important to me
just as long as i have you near
As long as I have you close to me
i slept right off the highest mountain
I was so confident and felt invincible
thinking i can pop the sky
Thinking I could do anything
tell me that would be leaving
Tell me you would be leaving
but this would be the last time you made me cry
But this would be the final time you hurt me emotionally
cause i can see nothing but smoke ..
Because all I can see is smoke
a ghost nothing but a ghost to me
You are like a ghost, insignificant and invisible
a ghost and you do not see slow mo
You are oblivious to it
nothing but a ghost to me
You mean nothing to me
a ghost and you do not see slow mo
You don't see the consequences
you used to be my dream girl all you do is .. go go go
You used to be the girl of my dreams, but now all you do is constantly go away
now i understand what you took me through
Now I comprehend the pain you put me through
baby you lost your ways
Baby, you've lost your direction in life
i used to feel i was on the top of the world
I used to feel like I was incredibly successful
with you i'll go anywhere
With you, I was willing to go anywhere
but then i wake up at the bottom of the ..
But then I find myself at the lowest point
