Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight



Can't believe it took me so many plays and glasses of wine to get into this.
Lush!

See also: 'Pocketbook'. Because she isn't ALL about the ballads.



Are you a man who loves
And cherishes
And cares for me?
Are you a guard in a prison
Maximum security?
Do we stay home all the time
Cuz you want me to yourself?
Or am I locked away
Out of fear that i'd find
Someone else

Well, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Just because you think
I might find somebody worthy
Oh, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Baby, if you treat me right
You won't have to worry

Is this a relationship
Fulfilling your needs
As well as mine?
Or is this just my sentence
Am I doing time?
If this is love
Real, real love
Then I'm staying no doubt
But if I'm just love prisoner
Then I'm busting out

Oh, you oughta be
Ashamed of yourself
What the hell
Do you think you're doing?
Loving me, loving me
So wrong
Baby, all I do is try
To show you
That you're my
One and only guy
No matter
Who may come along
Open your eyes
Baby, I don't lie.
