[Hook]
In love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Jennifer Hudson]
Why you call me your dream bed
And foolish of me I believe that
You said every king needs his queen, babe
That's why you needed me, baby
Right in between lust and love
You go and mess things up
Now there's no we, babe
There's just you and there's me baby

There was us, there was trust, there was heaven; it changed, I know
Silly you, silly me, silly us, why'd I wait

[Hook]
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Ne-Yo]
Now I'm gonna keep it realer with you now than I ever been
Wish we would never been, girl we was better friends
You didn't had to tell me, what; where, why and when
Um why I didn't need it
Cause you wasn't my girlfriend
We had a good thing
You would come by and kick it
Give me that good thing
Then after we were finished
You go your way, I go my way, it was whatever
Tell me what in the hell made us
Think this wanna gon' be better
And now I'm telling you lies
All because I hate to see the tears in your eyes
Of course I want my cake, and eat too, I'm a guy
And of course, you don't understand
But you would if you thought like a man in love

[Hook]
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

[Rick Ross]
Time costs money and it's so expensive
Versace linen got these women blowing kisses
Leaning on my auto, she's so photogenic
Can I take a picture, she's my Mona Lisa
Living like a princess in a fairy tale
You know them people up in Barney show and tell
Bentley backing out of Neiman's, seen her pony tail
5 karat yellow diamond, you don't know me well
Penthouse, at the Trump, sit on Collins Ave
She caught an attitude, I had to call the cab
You don't understand this altitude I'm balling at
I'm at the game on the wood where the owners at

[Bridge]
So different but the same
Boy, you tell me everything
Yeah you show me how you think
You're the only one to blame
It's such a shame
Yeah should lost the game you tell me how to play

[Hook]
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man
In love, in love, in love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man

Jennifer Hudson first entered the public consciousness as a 22-year old from Chicago trying out for American Idol. Her American Idol tenure ended in 2005, after finishing in seventh place.

Since the show, she’s gone on to have successes as a singer, theater actor, and movie star. Her first big break was her role as Effie in the 2006 film Dreamgirls. She starred alongside Beyoncé and won 29 awards for her performance—including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007. She went on to star in numerous films as well as the theater production The Color Purple, based on the novel by Alice Walker.

Hudson released her first album in 2008 entitled Jennifer Hudson. That same year, she suffered a major loss while on tour when her mother, brother, and nephew were killed by her sister’s estranged husband. She released subsequent albums I Remember Me in 2011, and JHUD in 2014.
