Blige, Mary J - Smoke Lyrics
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time
I need to get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting
[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
Give me something
To spark the flame
Take away the paint
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Ooh
Holding on isn't healthy
But it's killin' me
To let go
Trying to stare
At your picture
But I can't see it
For all this smoke
Hmm
Not for all the smoke
Ooh
[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
But it don't
It don't
It don't
Oh, it don't
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time to
Get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
For reasons that only I know
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting
[B-Section:]
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
[Chorus:]
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my

Blige, Mary J Smoke Comments
You are so magnificent
Love this song! A definite classic in Woodstock's Jukebox ☮️❤️🤘🖖♒😘 Rock on Mary!
Soul sister. #1
I thought of a composed measure at start lol but no a 4/4 accent were put on off beat, over that lydian part very nice.
This is my favorite Song on the Growing Pains Album. Mary really did her thing!
This song spoke to me, ugh
💨💨💨💨💨
This song takes me to a very different place...
Mary j blige smoke is nice music
Holding on isnt healthy
Anyone else hears Sonic the hedgehog Green Hill level music during the course??? Maybe it's just me... lol
OMG it does!
Rashad Upshaw Bro I swear I was just taking to myself for 15 minutes about this! I was hearing some Sonic Green Hill Zone and a little bit of Kirby music too!
This album led me to becoming a lifelong fan of Mary's. Top to bottom, _GP_ is a dope ass album and it has aged well 10 years since it came out!!
STOP IT... This album is TIMELESS.
SMOKE NICE SONG BY MARY J BLING !!!
Nero wrote this classic for a Queen
Omg thank you Mary j. This song helped me move on..I tried to make it work.
But it don't...ooh and the SMOKE
Give me something to kill the flames
And smoke in my my house it's so hard to see
Love is in the air, freedom is on the move, catch me if you can.
This is my jam.. Smoke in my eyes, and ass.. Pain is no respecter of persons.
Oooooooh and THE SMOKE
Mary J Blige 🎶 music
This entire album has so many memories. I bought it on my way to Philadelphia and listened to it track to track. This track makes me think of the relationship that was a crutch for me. I will always love him. I hate that I can't love him they want he wants me to.
betsylove this ms mary j blige beauiful song to me enjoy
One thing I liked about the "Growing Pains" CD..Mary J looked out of the box. She put out a standard non hip hop r/b cd with tons of great ballads. This one Mary J killed it. One of the highlights on that cd.
I Love This Song One Of My Favorite Songs By MJB This Is A NYC Song To The Fullest Extent Yo Just Amazing & Beautiful Love My City Brooklyn Crown Heights Till The Death Of Me B
I'm a nigga and I love this song .
And I'm procrastinating for reasons only I know...
this lady feels my pain
Clearly the smoke is from Weed!!!.Getting high from the break up.
😩😂😂😂😂
can't it be 🚬 smoke
🤣😂😂😂🤣
Wow. Kinda went a different direction on this one!
Mary J. such an inspiration to all women.... I love this whole album. Thanks Mary luv U...
This song reminds me of a classic Dionne Warwick/Burt Bacharach arrangement from back in the day. Beautiful.
Chris Thornton yaaazzz and dusty Springfield
i bought this cd for mom when i was 17 and it grew on me i love you mom R.i.p
so sorry
Omg so sorry
Rip mom
IM ALWAYS CRYING ON THIS SONG......
loving this song
Maybe It'll Will Rain Today And I Don't Have To Leave My Room /=
This song is so great! Love the live instruments in this song. Mary really challenged herself by recording this song. She didn't over sing it either.
omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg.....damn mary you one cold ass singer!!!!!!!!!!
I thought the smoke was to symbolize the aftermath of the breakup. Because smoke comes after fire, and she wants to 'spark the flame' again for the pain to also go away...
wow thats deep mama
That's exactly what it means
That is what it means.
can someone do an instrumental to this song????? there's only one on youtube and it's not that good.
THIS WOMAN IS SO MAGNIFICENT
Listen to that voice!
THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME LOVE THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL MARY!!!!
Y'all say that's such a beautiful and deep song.. clear, Ne-Yo wrote it! :)
My all time favorite song by Queen Mary.
yeah i been hearing this everytime i go to the gear spot. and mann i finally figured out the title. love it.
inspirational.
Absolutely beautiful song by a very talented woman.
Smoke Mary J everyday
She could be talking about selling her soul. When you look in the mirror and you can't see yourself you've sold your soul. I think it odd that she's talking to a mirror and she can't see herself because of smoke. Pretty much all of the popular singers have sold their souls for money and fame.
@lilmama0622 Couldn't have sead it better thumbs up 2 u..
this song is classical. you will hear none like it.
i can just hear ne-yo singin this
this song is so true
i've never really been into mary enough to get a cd, but this one was definitely worth the money.
This song has so much meaning to it.....I love it....I love her...
This is my favorite song on the album believe it or not! I love this song, it's sad, yet happy and serene
I think the metaphor is about letting go a love but everything is smoky,meaning to she seeing the way it use to be verses her pain. She don't want to let go, but she knows she should. I know exactly how she feels in this song. So many of us know we should let go, but we keep thinking of the good times. Love is deft. blind at its best!!!
ne-yo stay writin them killas
Ummm NO (least not 2 me)
its more about burning the past to get to the future mayb.... Or not wanting to see things as they are due to distractions of society and of self....
Perception can b deception....
BTW, thats y i love MJb, so much deeper than any similie and metaphor can ever allow-JMo
LMAooooooooooo
thanx yall... i doubt shell release it as a single, but shyt id settle 4 an interlude to an "till the morning" video.... =)
which could b a party video full of cameo appearances....
i love it except for the lumberjack jacket. lol
*heres my concept & dont yall try to steal it or ill SUE,lmao*
so i c her she sitting in her room legs up on vanity,ashtray in view, mascara running.hair in a semi bob how it is now, headband looking real twiggy'ish.
anyway, i c several scenes that change with some smoke. like shes in the bedroom then screen fades to smoke then shes in a schoolyard on a swing w/ a lumberjack jacket, then screen fades to smoke, etc add a scene w/ her singing in front of a band in a smoke filld room and stir =)
i feel you with the mod style. That would be excellent. I swear that would go perfectly with the song and words. Simply beautiful, but wonderfully melancholy
hey check out my piano cover of this song...
~*~Pretty Song~*~
shes fuckin amazing ... HAPPY BDAY MARY!
this can play on MTV in heavy rotation on some Lincoln Park type of shyt.... I can already c the video for this.... Real MOD w/ all types of shyt....
PS, this should b her next single, can u say crossover hit!!!!!!
According to the credits Neyo wrote the lyrics and co-produced this song.
This is my favorite song from "Growing Pains." I keep listing to this and "Come to Me." I love the lyrics and vibe. Mary's voice is perfect on this song.
im not gay
but wit that being said i love the beat and her voice to this song'it is so relaxing
ne-yo didn't produce this syience did.. read the credits again...
This song and Till The Morning, I can't stop listening to. This song is beautiful!! Her voice adds purity to the melancholy lyrics
neyo wrote this which means he is gay
new style
Ne-yo did a great job. He wrote 4 songs on the album. Give "Fade Away" a listen
i love this song. Beautiful
I just got the album!!! I'm ecstatic
Its Mary or nuthin! It dont get no better than MJB. I love this song.
Beautiful!
