[Intro]
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(Yes, you do)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(Me, me, me)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me

[Verse 1]
You, you remind me of a love that I once knew
Is it a dream or is it déjà vu?
I just had to let you know so I had to sing it
With you, boy, I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
And the way you walk and
And the way you talk and
The way you movе and
You remind me, yes, you do
Thе way you dress and
And the way you dance and
You really like to groove and
You remind me, yes, you do

[Chorus]
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(Thinkin' back in time)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me

[Verse 2]
You, you remind me of a memory
And this is something you should know
Oh, baby, darlin', come on just stop playing with my mind
'Cause with you, boy, I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
The way you walk and
The way you talk and
The way you move and
You remind me, yes, you do
The way you dress and
The way you dance and
You really like to groove and
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do remind me
You remind me of memories
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, do do do do do do do

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(Shoo do do do do)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me

[Bridge]
I saw you, you, you before
Oh oh, I...

[Chorus]
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah, you do, you do, you do
You do remind, you remind, you remind me

[Chorus]
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me
(And you remind me, yes, you do)
Thinkin' back in time
I searched my heart and tried to find
How you remind me

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
