(verse 1)
Incarnation, what i’m facin
When i’m with you
You’re watching my every move
Or are we playin 20 questions
Tryin to pick up on some clues
Every time i walk in or out the door
What do you bother for (what do you bother for)
Get comfortable with yours

(pre-chorus)
It’s gonna take, take (t-r-u-s-t)
To keep a l.o.v.e
It’s gonna take (yeah) t-r-u-s-t
To keep a l.o.v.e, crackin
Stress in any second guessin
Any time to time again
We go from lovers back to friends
Got to put this to an end (hey, yeah, yeah)

You wanna handcuff me
But yo, i don’t know what to tell ya

(verse 2:)
No justification for your actions
Should’ve been somewhere relaxin
Don’t compare me to your last one
I can’t help if she was a fast one
A sassy one, i’m a classy one
I can’t keep them from gettin at me hun
Seems like that should make you happy, huh
It’s gonna take

It’s gonna take t-r-u-s-t
To keep an l.o.v.e
It’s gonna take (yeah, yeah, yeah)
T-r-u-s-t
To keep an l.o.v.e, crackin
I can’t deny or lie
Why i tried to put up with you
These insecurities everyday
Pushin my love away (hey, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(chorus)
You wanna handcuff me
But yo, i don’t know what to tell ya

You want my intimacy (no, no)
But yo, i don’t know what to tell ya

Aaliyah Dana Haughton, known simply as Aaliyah, was born on January 16, 1979, in Brooklyn, New York, but was raised in Detroit, Michigan. She began her career at a young age, appearing on the American talent show Star Search at just ten years old. In 1994, she released her debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, which launched her into the music industry.

In 1996, Aaliyah signed with Atlantic Records and released her sophomore album, One in a Million, which featured production from Timbaland and songwriting from Missy Elliott. The album spawned hits like “One in a Million” and “4 Page Letter,” solidifying her as a rising star in the R&B world. Despite her success in music, Aaliyah continued her education and graduated with a 4.0 GPA from the Detroit Performing Arts High School in 1997.

Aaliyah’s talent extended beyond music, as she made her acting debut in the year 2000 in the film Romeo Must Die alongside Jet Li. The film’s soundtrack featured the hit single “Try Again,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Aaliyah went on to release her self-titled album in 2001, featuring singles like “Rock the Boat” and “More Than A Woman.”
