'98年以首张白金专辑《Soul Of A Woman》崛起歌坛的Kelly Price,被视为是黑人音乐界中新进窜起的一颗新星,不令人意外的是Aretha Franklin也是Kelly早期音乐和影响深远的启蒙者之一
当Kelly Price於'98年以首支单曲"Friend Of Mine"走红乐坛时,她那浑厚且深具感情的嗓音,且如录音般的现场演唱功力,更是让整个歌坛惊艳不已,半自传式专辑《Soul Of A Woman》的曲风和歌词也普遍获得好评,并企图给予听众一个360度全方位的Kelly Price,不仅收入一首福音歌曲,其他如诉说遭好朋友背叛抢走男朋友的"Friend Of Mine",或是"Sister"中只要还没有绝望、再多加一点希望的激励,呈献给歌迷完全的Kelly Price,她说:「这张专辑是献给世界各地的女人,但是如果真的深入核心中,其实真正只和一个女人的灵魂有关,我的灵魂!」
verse i
i'm reading your "dear john"
it says you're moving on
you need your space, you need some time
and greener grass you seek to find
i saw it from afar
i knew it in my heart
the happiness had gone away
pretended we would be ok
hook
for every time you've made me cry
i gotta sit and wonder why
i love you, i still do
i need you, i always will
i want you to hold me tight
i need you with me tonight
i still do
verse ii
why do i hold on?
why can't i be strong?
i know it's time to walk away
but still inside i hope and pray
that you'll return to me
my eyes too blind to see
that love should never bring me pain
i know i can't go on this way
bridge
i gotta wipe away the tears
i gotta stand and face my fears
i gotta love myself enough to make it better
the woman that i used to be
i know she's still inside of me
i'll find a way to breathe again
this won't be how my story ends
