After "I Love Your Smile", Shanice continued to record albums, including 1999's Shanice, produced chiefly by Babyface. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she is acknowledged as a talented singer and many of her songs appeared on various soundtracks. She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Unbreak My Heart". She can also be heard making vocal contributions to various games. She is married to actor/comedian Flex Alexander, with whom she has two children.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single is currently doing moderately well, and Shanice is now signed to IME Records (which is distributed through Universal/Motown). After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006. The video for "Every Woman Dreams" was released in December 2005 and is in current rotation on music networks like BET, MTV and Vh1.
I Think I Love You
Shanice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where'd you think I was gonna go
Yeah, whatever hard, hard
Shut up you guys hard, you can't sing
Been workin' hard in the studio
Workin' day and night
Stayin' up and singin' 14 hours
I'd rush home right after school
You see I couldn't hang out and be cool
I had a mission I could not be dissin'
Baby, uh, that was my rule
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
Rockin' and bumpin', thumpin' and funkin'
Like this groove yeah, I had to make you move
I had a mission that I could not be dissin'
'Cause this diva had a point to prove
Some people said
(Huh)
Where could she be?
Backin' some band way down in Mississippi?
(No)
Smackin', whakin', jackin' this groove in time
With the rhythm of hip hop in mind
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
Everyday
Coast to coast
People what could it be
What's up with me
Well, I'm back with a brand new story
I gotta fresh mix "Tarpan's laboratory "
You see, the fella's hook me up from A to Z
1, 2, 3 it's me "Shanice"
And I'm pullin' other suckers
Ho, card, you didn't think I'd come back this hard "boy"
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro
Hard, hard, hard, hard, hard
Hard, hard, hard, hard, hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
You didn't think I'd come back this hard
