I don't know how to make it stop
I don't know how to make it stop
I don't know how to make it stop
(Nooo)

I got a phobia when it comes to heights
Even if it's a first class flight
And as a kid, I never really liked to climb
If you pushed me hard on a swing, then I'd cry
If I had a dream that I was flying
Then I'd wake up in a panic, screaming

And now you take me up and away with you
Push me out of the plane with no parachute
And now I'm gonna need somebody to catch me

It's like I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
It's like I'm falling form the sky (sky, sky)
And I need somebody to catch me
Catch me, when I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
Will you catch me?
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down

I never ever wanted to climb a ladder
And I never wanted a house in the hills
I'm comfortable living in a big high rise
Cause in nightmares of getting killed
I never wanted to swim, the water there was too deep
Put me up on the roof, you couldn't pay me to leap
Even if I was bummin' on the streets of Chi
You couldn't pay me to leap

And now you take me up and away with you
Push me out of the plane with no parachute
And now I'm gonna need somebody to catch me

It's like I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
It's like I'm falling form the sky (sky, sky)
And I need somebody to catch me
Catch me, when I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
Will you catch me?
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down

Girl I'm running out of time, come back around
Only a few seconds before I hit the ground
How do you expect me to fly when you are my wings?
Oh I can't breathe, no
Baby it's like I'm dreaming, got nothing to hold on to
I can't wake up girl, laying next to you
I can't think, I can't sleep, I can't eat

[2x]
It's like I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
I'm falling from the sky (sky, sky)
It's like I'm falling form the sky (sky, sky)
And I need somebody to catch me
Catch me, when I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down (down, down, down)
Will you catch me?
When I come down (down, down, down)
When I come down

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
