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.
Somewhere
Shanice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My friends say I'm crazy for still being alone
But ain't found the right one for me
But I know that he's out there
Just wait and see
All I do is try to keep my head together
Cause I know don't want no stormy weather
All I need is a man that's gonna satisfy me
Somewhere there's a love for me
Soon as I can I'm gonna find my baby
Somewhere there's a love for me
Soon as I can I'm gonna find my baby
I've looked everywhere for that special someone
Who's for real and understands
All good things are gonna go to those who wait
I need your loving now
Let's not hesitate
All I do is try to take control of my life
Cause I know don't wanna make the wrong move
Please stop hiding
I really need you by my side
You gotta treat me right
He's out there somewhere I know
Somewhere there's a love for me
Soon as I can I'm gonna find my baby
Somewhere there's a love for me
Soon as I can I'm gonna find my baby
