[Intro]
Hey we need to stay together girl
Think about it
There was something about me and you girl
Look here

[Verse 1]
When God created human beings
I bet he didn't think of bombs and things
I bet he wonders why
Just like I never imagined it would be anything between you and me
I know cause I cry, I cry

[Chorus]
You were my sunrays
Without you girl, there was no days
Never dreamt to speak the phrase
But what the fuck just happened
You were the heart I owned
The beat just like a metronome
Can't breathe my heart is gone
Now what the fuck just happened
What just happened girl

[Verse 2]
I was always the one behind
You would run up and keep me in line
I looked up to you damn this hurts
All these years of discipline
Just to end up here at the end
Can you tell me what I've learned
What I've learned

[Bridge]
We need to stay together girl
Hey
We need to stay together girl
Think about it

[Chorus (x2)]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Outro]
I really need you back
Can you find it in your mind?
'Cause we got to stay together, girl
I mean it
Hey, it just might work
Ooh
Oh
Hey, baby, you just might wanna think about ti
It might just work for you and me after all
See 'cause you don't want me to go crazy, girl
And chase you, bitch
I could really lose my mind, you know?
Over you
Think about it
I mean I ain't crazy enough, I'm just crazy about you
What's wrong with that, huh?

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
