We Belong Together

About We Belong Together

"We Belong Together" is a song by American singer Mariah Carey from her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). The song was released on March 29, 2005, through Island Records, as the second single from the album. "We Belong Together" was written by Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal, and Johntá Austin, and produced by the former three. Since the song interpolates lyrics from Bobby Womack's "If You Think You're Lonely Now" (1981) and the Deele's "Two Occasions" (1987), the songwriters of those respective songs are credited. "We Belong Together" is built on a simple piano arrangement with an understated backbeat. The lyrics chronicle a woman's desperation for her former lover to return. Following her decline in popularity between 2001 and 2005, critics dubbed the song her musical comeback, as many had considered her career over. "We Belong Together" earned her several music industry awards and nominations throughout 2005–06. The song broke chart records in the United States and became Carey's sixteenth topper on the US Billboard Hot 100. After staying at number one for fourteen non-consecutive weeks, it joined four other songs in a tie as the third longest running number one song in US chart history, behind Carey's own 1995 collaboration with Boyz II Men titled "One Sweet Day". Billboard listed it as the "song of the decade" and the eleventh most popular song of all time. Additionally, it broke several airplay records, gathering both the largest one-day and one-week audiences in history. "We Belong Together" also topped the charts in Australia and reached the top five in Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. more »

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause we belong together

Haha, remix, Desert Storm

Uh, yo, show your respect whenever you hear me or see me
(This is the emancipation of Mimi)
Hot like the real fever (the real diva)
So successful yet still so eager
No matter what they say it's on forever
(It's our time right now) more than ever
(To the death) we are going to get it on together
And M-C, you know we belong together

I lost a part of me, when you left boy, can't you see
Boy come back baby please because we belong together
Who am I going to lean on when times get rough
Who's going to talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's going to take your place there is nobody better
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be wit you
Only you can make it right, make it right, make it right

We belong together like the sun in the summertime
Bounce in a lemon range (skip in a hummer lime)
(P and Kiss in and out) Mariah on the other line
Baby I'm a come back (believe it'll come a time)
(We belong together like peanut butter and jelly)
Februaries and skellies, after parties and tellies
(Feeling you in my stomach like you a part of my belly)
Baby I'm a come back with every part of you ready

I lost a part of me, when you left boy, can't you see
Boy come back baby please because we belong together
Who am I going to lean on when times get rough
Who's going to talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's going to take your place there is nobody better
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio singing to me
If you think you're lonely now, wait until tonight
Boy I'm feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying, trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song is not even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life, baby (let's go)

You going to need a shoulder to cry on
Classic Mustang Cobra to ride on
Past is the past, just let it be bygones
Matter of fact I know a fly song that we could vibe on
Let's get it straight
If it's the six or the quarter to eight
(Then I'm throwing Baby face or Shy on)
Yeah and Kiss, ghost and MC
Get close and toast to the diva and MC
(Uh the trees will blow)
(Big cups, Pino Grigio) take it easy, you
(We belong together, we know that)
(Now I think that it's bout time we show that)
(Even though every moment won't be a Kodak) you
(Sometimes we argue, I spaz out, grab my bozak)
(Come back not because I have to, I want to)
(And no I don't just want to have you, I want you, uh)

I lost a part of me, when you left boy, can't you see
Boy come back baby please because we belong together
Who am I going to lean on when times get rough
Who's going to talk to me till the sun comes up
Who's going to take your place there is nobody better
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together

This is, Desert Storm remix, ha ha (we belong together)
(Oh baby, baby, we belong together)
DJ Clue, Desert Storm (oh, come back baby please)
MC (we belong together)
(Come back baby please) Woo
We back baby (we belong together)
