You Decide
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, been a minute
But I still feel the same
Yeah, yeah
You know I want you
Give me another chance to be your man, be your man, no
I promise I won't let you hurt again, hurt again, no
Give me another chance, give me another chance, oh
Just give me another chance, give me another chance, oh
Girl I can't lie, things are just not the same without you
The sun just don't shine no more
All it does is, all it does is just rain without you
Girl I ain't too proud to beg, your love is that good
I miss it real bad, but girl if I could
Show you how I matured, I'm ready to settle
Ready to take this love to another level
What's up with you and I, you and I, babe?
Let me back in your life, second try, babe
Between them thighs, spread
Girl you decide, girl you decide-cide, babe
Girl you decide, girl you decide, oh
Give me another chance to be your man, be your man, no
I promise I won't let you hurt again, hurt again, no
Promise I'll never hurt you again
Don't be afraid, baby, take my hand, take my hand, no
Give me another chance, give me another chance, oh
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
Just give me another chance, give me another chance
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
What's up with you and I, you and I, babe? (Babe)
Let me back in your life, second try, babe
Between them thighs, spread
Girl you decide, girl you decide-cide, babe
Girl you decide, girl you decide, oh
Give me a chance to be your man, be your man (oh)
Said I'll promise to be better or whatever it takes (oh)
Oh, yeah
Girl just let me back in your life
Give me another chance to be your man, be your man, no
Give me another chance, I'll promise to be better, baby
I'll promise I won't let you hurt again, hurt again (no)
I promise I won't let you hurt again, oh no
Don't be afraid baby, take my hand, take my hand
Don't be afraid to take my hand
Give me another chance, give me another chance, oh
(Give me another chance, give me another chance)
Just give me another chance, give me another chance, oh
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)

Usher's vocals are untouchable, even singing trap he gon hit you with that smoothness.
@trevormills9173
ashara biju this ain’t trap. get that thought of your mind. trap is jus the speed and type of beat. this good singing/songwriting to Zaytoven beats. Zay used to do rnb style slaps back in the late 90s. educate not assume. all love.
@hopet9210
@@trevormills9173 Nah this ain't all love. Don't give me that. It was just my opinion. "Don't assume. Educate" This can go to you too. Learn how to correct someone without sounding insulting. Thinking that putting " it's all love" at the end of a sentence is gonna make it someone take things lighter is definitely a big NO. But I will take my notes on it not being trap. But it sure ain't the regular R&B we are used to hear Usher sing. Never said the song was bad or the rhythm of it. Let's leave it at that. Based on how " passionate" you are about your answer, are you related to Zaytoven or a friend or something? Seriously...
@gigirf3022
Yes!
