【R&B神童】 NE-YO - 第四张大碟《Libra Scale》

edison

专辑名称：Libra Scale演唱歌手：Ne-Yo
发行公司：Def Jam
发行日期：2010年11月22日
语言种类：英语

千呼万唤始出来！在因种种原因沉寂了一年多未出专辑以后，Ne-Yo终于携自己的第四张大碟《Libra Scale》（中文暂译名：天秤座、公平尺度等）强势归来。据Ne-Yo本人所说，这张专辑的灵感应该是来源于他本人所撰写的一部电影剧本，其中包括了他对人生的思考，对金钱、名誉、家庭、爱情等等事物的看法及取舍观。于是Ne-Yo的电影虽然没有拍成，但却促成了这张专辑的诞生，新专辑截至目前已泄出《Beautiful Monster》、《Champagne Life》两首主打曲以及《One In A Million》三首单曲，但是两首主打单曲一改Ne-Yo往常的曲风，在美国本土反响平平，甚至还不如《One In A Million》来的效果好，倒是《Beautiful Monster》在英国榜单上取得了不错的成绩。这张集结了Ne-Yo心血的新专辑究竟会取得怎么样的成绩呢？让我们拭目以待。（之前很多人所说的《Gentleman's Affair》等一些专辑只是MixTape而已，而不是真正的新专辑。）

Excuse me
I couldn't help but notice
You noticing me
And I was definitely noticing you
My name is
You know my name
But listen

No it ain't like me to drop too hard
Or go out of my way to know who you are
Said if you're not one for chasing
But I'll admit
Something in you
Has got my attention girl
So if I can
Be a gentleman
Can I ask your permission girl
Said if it's alright with you
Can I know your name
And maybe call you sometime
Can I know your name
Can I know your name
Looking at you girl I see so much
So much potential for something better than that
Like maybe me and you becoming us
I'm not trying to scare you
But in your eyes
I can see why
People write love songs
And if God allowed
I could see how
I could love you for so long
First thing first

And maybe call you sometime

Is truly the greatest
Though sometimes we hate it
They can't tell me nothing about you
Crazy love

Can't tell me nothing about how we do
Cuz we got
Crazy love

Jet setter
Go getter
Nothing better
Call me Mr. been there done that
Top model chick to your every day hood rat
Less than all but more than a few
But I've never met one like you
Been all over the world
Done a little bit of everything
Little bit of everywhere
With a little bit of everyone
All the girls I've been with
Things I've seen it takes much to impress
But sure enough you go it
makes your soul stand up from all the rest
I can be in love
But I just don't know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it's working
All the girls don't matter
In your presence can't do what you do
There's a million girls around
but I don't see no one but you
Girl you're so one in a million
You are
Baby you're the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I'm certain that
There ain't nothing better
No there ain't nothing better than this
You're not a regular girl
You don't give a damn about your look
Talking about I can't do it for you
But you can do it for yourself
Even though that ain't so
Baby cause my dough don't know how to end
But that independent thing I'm with it
All we do is win baby
I could be in love
But I just don't know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it's working
All the girls don't matter
In your presence can't do what you do
There's a million girls around
but I don't see no one but you
Baby you're so one in a million
You are
Baby you're the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I'm certain that
There ain't nothing better

Best I ever had
And I'm certain that

That means that you're the only one for me
Only one for me
Baby (girl) you're so one in a million

07.Geniune Only

We may struggle
We may even very well see hell from the gates
Don't think that you are alright
Are above making mistakes
Said I'm gonna get on your damn nerves
And you're gonna make me mad
But I believe we can survive all that
Cuz this love is good could never be that bad
So may you never know the way
Way that it feels
Feels to be lonely
May you never know one day
When love isn't real
See this stuff to me is genuine only
Maybe in a perfect world
We would get along perfectly
But seeing how this is real life
Sometimes we just wanna be
And I may make you say you wanna leave
Never come back
But I don't
But I believe we can survive all that
Cuz this love is good could never be that bad
So may you never know the way
Way that it feels
Feels to be lonely
May you never know one day
When love isn't real
See this stuff to me is genuine only
Said I ain't always gonna like you girl
Said you ain't always gonna like me girl
But you're the only one I want in this world
Let me sing it again
Said I ain't always gonna like you girl
Said you ain't always gonna like me girl
But I love you more than anything in this world
So may you never know the way
Way that it feels
Feels to be lonely
May you never know one day
When love isn't real
See this stuff to me is genuine only
So may you never know the way
Way that it feels
Feels to be lonely
May you never know one day
When love isn't real
See this stuff to me is genuine only

You do what she want you to
And you won't even know why
Everybody wanna touch it Touch it
And they give up preserve
She can make you love it Love it
Even if it hurts
From her head to my toes
She's out of control
She can reach right in your chest
And pull out your soul
She said don't ask no questions

10.What Have I Done

如果无法播放，请点击此处在新窗口打开

Time on my hands
Sit and think about what I did wrong
As the days turn into nights
Nights back into days I sit alone
Oh no, There's blood on my hands
Guilty party Ain't no sense but I'm the one
I'm responsible for this
Sure as the moon shines Cuz I'm the sun
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
Selfishly
Catered to my own desires
Never once thinking
That breaking rules just cuz I wanted to
Could possibly hurt you
My only concern was me
And now look at you
Look at what my foolishness
has turned you into
In the end a monster
But at first a goddess when we first begun
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Oh so lovely
All you wanted was to love me
How did I end up the lonely one
(what have i done)
Not hard to love someone
But it's hard to be in love
Knowing that you're killing that person
Oh so lovely
All you wanted was to love me
How did I end up the lonely one
(what have i done)
Not hard to love someone
But it's hard to be in love
Knowing that you're killing that person
In the end a monster
But she was a goddess when we first begun
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
