Vrs 1:
I can't, get to work on time, can't believe the words to her I just said
But who the hell argue n fight like dogs at 6 in the morning?(in the mornin)
I know it's gonna' be some more sh** tonight mm oooh
Our pastor's callin, tellin me I done went too far in
I'm seen around town and my friends can't recognize me,
'Cuz I took a chance on love(love), it's like(like), I'm dyin(ooh dyin)
Chrs:
For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world
'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl
I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama
I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be.
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl
I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up errthing I had to
As hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl
Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers
Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/usher/papers.html ]
Vrs 2:
I'm losin my mind, can't figure out who's wrong or right
I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like
You claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now
You think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us
I ain't afraid to say I got needs
But the only time you here for me is when the bottles poppin' and everything is sweet
But I I'm tired of sleeping in the other room spending them long nights
Trying to figure out what in the hell in my heart I ain't do right. (Oooh for u)
For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world(back against the world)
'Cause you were my girl, girl(girl), girl,
I done damn near lost my mama(mama), I done been through so much drama(drama)
I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be.(never thought I would be)
I'm ready to sign them papers(papers), papers(paii), papers(paai ooh oh oh oh)
(I done took) all I can take but u leave me no options girl
I can't deny how much I love you(know that I love u), I done gave up errthing I had to
(Anything I had to) as hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say(I'm affraid I gotta say)
I'm ready to sign them papers(papers), papers(paii), papers(girl I took all I could take)
(I done took) all I can take but u leave me no options girl
Ready Ready Ready Ready
All my fellas up in here, if u had enough and u're ready to sign say
Ready Ready Ready Ready(I'm ready, yes I am)
All my ladies if u sick and tired, and u're, ready to sign, say
Ready Ready Ready Ready(ooh)
I can't keep livin this life, I'm feena leave it for the last time I'm
Ready Ready Ready Ready
I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama
I done turned into the man I never thought I'd be.
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl
I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up errthing I had to
As hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl
Main i luv dis song. I have read dez opinionz.i do and dnt agree wit some of dem.daco254 i dnt.everybody else i do.the meaning to be is he benn through a lot wit this gurl and he ready to sign divorce papers... Although i love this songgg:)..
I agree with mz jones thats is the meaning of this song, he tried to change for his girl an it was a bad change because he almost lost his momma's love because of her>>>
The meaning of this song,you don't love my mama(thats a mammas boy, girls),you dont even like my friends,you tring to make me over. I feel u usher,i had to sign them "papers" after 20something years,i still look good, and "i 'am still a star", you see he wanted me to die! And still do, but my god is great! Hey,i'll sgin them papers,don't let no one change you! Don't try and hold on you better look at those red flags thats popin up around ya. "peace"i love me! "& god made me",
so go on and be the star that you are, earth wind @ fire "pure gold",
open your eyes.
The meaning to this song to me is that he is ready for his divorce and he wants his momma back if he want give her up he and his momma will not be speaking
