Keep rock in’, a keep knock in’, wheth er you Lou bou ton it up or Ree bok ing.

You see the hate that they (F)serv in’ on a plat ter.

When I look at you my mind goes on a trip.

Then you came in and knocked me on my face,

but I (F)al read y won first (Gm)place.

I nev er thought I’d (F)fall for you as hard as I (Bb)did.

You got me think in’ ’bout our life, our house and kids.

Yeah.

Ev ’ry morn in’ I look at you and smile

’cause, boy, you came a round

(F)and you knocked me down, knocked me down.

Some times (Eb)love

(F)comes a (Bb)round,

and it knocks you down.

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down.

Some times (Eb)love

(F)comes a (Bb)round,

and it knocks you down.

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down.

I nev er thought I’d hear my self say,

“Y’all go a (Eb)head.

She shot the (Eb)bul let that end ed that (F)life.

I swear to you, the (Gm)pimp in me just died to night, girl.

Some times knocks you down.

Knocks you down.

Tell me now, can you make (F)it past your Kas pers so we can fin ’lly fly off in to NA SA?

You was al ways the cheer (F)lead er of my dreams, that seem to on ly date the head of foot ball teams, and I (Eb)was the class clown that (F)al ways kept you laugh in’.

We were nev er meant to be, ba by, we just hap pened.

(Eb)So, please, don’t (F)mess up the trick.

Hey, (Gm)young world, I’m the new Slick Rick.

They say I (Eb)move too quick but we can’t (F)let this mo ment pass us, (Bb)let the ho ur glass pass right in to ash es.

(Eb)Let the wind blow the ash (F)right be fore my glass es, (Gm)so I wrote this love let ter right be fore my class es.

(Eb)How could a god dess ask some (F)one that’s on ly av ’rage for (Bb)ad vice?

On ly you (Bb)bring a bet ter fu ture than I had in the past.

Oh, ’cause (Eb)I don’t want to make the same mis takes I did, I don’t want to fall back on my face a gain.

I’ll ad (Bb)mit it, I was scared to an swer love’s call,

and if it (Gm)hits, bet ter make it worth the fall.
