[Intro]
("When they reminisce over you, my God")
Yeah
L.A., make some noise
You know, you know we had it all
(Let's make the time tonight
Reminisce oh so right)
You and I
(Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight)
Reminisce

[Chorus]
Let's make the time tonight
(Oobie doobie doo)
Reminisce oh so right
(Reminisce)
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight
Let's make the time tonight
Reminisce oh so right
Reminisce on the love we had
Make the time tonight

Come on, y'all, let's go

[Verse 1]
I know that we've been here before
The candlelight and you, walking softly through my door
Come on in, my sweet (Say what?) how have you been?
You're so nice, but tonight we're gonna be more than just friends

[Pre-Chorus]
I recall the days and ways of love we made
I still feel the heat when we shared each other
Don't you feel the magic? The mystery's in the air
Lets go down to lover's lane (With the love)
("When they reminisce over you, my God")
With the love we shared

[Chorus]
Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right
Reminisce on the love we had
(Reminisce, reminisce, reminisce)
Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right
Reminisce on the love we had
("When they reminisce over you, my God")

[Outro]
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
Oh, I wanna reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
I wanna reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
I reminisce, oh, I reminisce
Reminisce on the love we had

Thank you, thank you

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.
