Still Ray Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm comin' home to you, wear something see through
So I can see your heart
For night can never come soon enough for me
I watch the sky all day

[Verse 2]
Night is where I find, you and peace of mind
My days are filled with grief
That's why I truly, give you what you need
Because you love me for me

[Verse 3]
Good runs all through you, I can't help myself
You found my weakest spot
What better woman to, breathe and sleep next to
That's why I'll always be with you

[Verse 4]
Yes, I'm funny like a clown, but I'm never down
As long as you're around
There will never be, a dull moment for me
'Cause you are shinin' beneath me

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 5]
You'll never have to beg, me to come to bed
I'll walk you there each night
If you want me to, that's what I will do
That's why I'll always be with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Slowing things down a bit to show off his vulnerable side (with a side of tongue-in-cheek humor), Saadiq buoys his love pangs with a staccato Dr. Dre piano sample and unlikely tuba accompaniment. The musical experimentation on “Still Ray” is as successful sonically as it is poignant.
