I've been lookin' at a photograph of the time
When life was so mush simpler
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Oh (Ooh, yeah, yeah), uh-huh
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)

Didn't have a lot of things in life, wasn't much
But we sure had some fun
(Yeah, yeah) Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)

Lookin' back on things, you appreciate every day
The joy and the pain and the laughter
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Oh (Ooh, yeah, yeah), huh
(Ooh, yeah) that's right (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
It kinda make you wish that we were still in love, love, love

So what, what I'm tryin' to say to you
Is that I'm still in love with you
And I want a second try
And what, and what I wanna hear from you
Is that you feel the same way too
And that you're down with me
You're down with me
You're down with me for life
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Your down with me for life

Oh, yeah
Yeah...Ooh...

I've been thinkin' 'bout some arguments that we had
That now seem, Oh, so petty
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Yeah, yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), oh, oh
(Ooh, yeah) Yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)

Lookin' back on things,it makes you feel kind of down
We wasted so much time
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Baby, yeah
(Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)

Look around, you must appreciate everything
Our lives are full of blessings
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah),yeah, yeah
(Ooh, yeah) Oh, love, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Kinda makes you wanna go back and get it done

What, what I'm tryin' to say to you {What I'm tryin' to say to you}

And I want a second try {Yeah...}
And what {What}, and what I want to hear from you {Ooh...}

You're down with me for life {Are you down with me}
(Ooh, yeah, yeah) Ooh, yeah (Ooh, yeah, yeah), yeah, yeah
You're down with me for life

I wanna to write a brand new song
'Bout you and I
And how we got through all of the storms
And survived
Yeah, we made things right and what

What, what I'm tryin' to say to you {What I'm tryin' to say}
Is that I'm still in love with you {I'm still in love with you}
And I want a second try {I want a second try}

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
