Alicia Keys has a lot going on right now. She just gave one of the most talked about performances of the 2010 BET Awards, she’s engaged to Swizz Beatz, and she’s expecting a baby. Despite all of the changes going on in her life, one thing remains consistent: Alicia Keys puts out good music.
When she came on to the scene with “Fallin’” R&B fans all over were amazed at her talent. Not only could she sing, but she was a proficient piano player and songwriter.
In light of her songwriting abilities, we here at GG have compiled a list of some of our favorite Alicia Keys Lyrics. It’s enough to make a person want to listen to her entire discography.

“Why give up before we try/ Feel the lows before the highs/ Clip our wings before we fly away” – “Unthinkable”
“Sometimes I love ya, sometimes you make me blue/ sometimes I feel good/ at times I feel used/ lovin’ you darlin’, makes me so confused.” – “Fallin’”
“Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right/ Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time/ You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first/ She will if she can’t find a man who knows her worth, mhmn.” – “A Woman’s Worth”

“You’re like a diamond/ But she treats you like glass/ Yet you beg her to love you/ But me you won’t ask” – “If I Was Your Woman”
‘Doin’ more than I’ve ever done for anyone’s attention/ Take notice of what’s in front of you/ Cause did I mention you’re ’bout to miss a good thing/ And you’ll never know how good it feels to have all of my affection/ And you’ll never get a chance to experience my lovin’/ Cause my lovin’ feels like oooooo’ – ‘You Don’t Know My Name’
‘Some people think that the physical things/ Define what’s within/ And I’ve been there before/ But that life’s a bore/ So full of the superficial’ – “If I Ain’t Got You”

‘Some people search for a fountain/ That promises forever young/ Some people need three dozen roses/ And that’s the only way to prove you love them’ – ‘If I Ain’t Got You’
‘I won’t tell your secrets/ Your secrets are safe with me/ I will keep your secrets/ Just think of me as the pages in your diary’ – “Diary”
