D'Angelo - Another Life Lyrics






How does one attempt to be
The kind of friend that you would want to keep?
I just want to say to thee
Even though it might be hard to believe
The candy-coated thoughts that drift through my sleep
Let me know it's you that holds the key
I got a craving for confection so sweet
For the taste of when our lips first meet

[Chorus:]
Oh, in another life, I bet you wouldn't know that
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

I just wanna take you with me
To secret rooms in the mansions of my mind
Shower you with all that you need
Take my hand, I swear I'll take my time
I'm not surprised to find that angels compete
For the chance to lay down at your feet
I'm gonna touch in all of the places that please
Pull you close
I wanna feel you breathe

[Chorus:]
Oh, in another life, I bet you wouldn't know that
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

It's another reason for the season
I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl, Oh!

  38. I.... l....

    Tha shit

  39. O.... N....

    The lyrics made me fall in love again

  40. T.... K....

    I bought this album/cd when it first dropped and got hung up on the first 5 songs and continuously played these songs only. One day I was cooking and asked, Alexa, to play D'Angelo and the first song played as Another Life. I said Aleza, repeat, it played again. I'm saying this song is the bomb!!!!! One of the best I've heard from D'Angelo, why don't I know this song? I go to Youtube and played it to find out I have this song on the Black Massiah album that I neglected to listen to its entirety. Now I'm ONLY playing Another Life, I soooo love this song!!!!! Everything about this song makes my soul sing.

  41. K.... I....

    He should never stop singing, his energy makes me feel like he's in love with me and I'm the only one

  42. L.... M....

    I felt like I was in church!!!! Chills and tears came all over my body!!!!!!

  43. R.... H....

    Still rocking this song in 2019

  44. T.... P....

    How does this groove so hard?

  45. K.... H....

    I love listening to this song with my eyes closed, blocking out all other distractions and focusing on the instrumentation and vocals. Sounds even better then!

  46. R.... K....

    Plays in the background when you lose your virginity to a Black Queen. That feel man....

  47. P.... P....

    Genius.

  48. M.... C....

    NIIICE!!!!!!

  49. A.... R....

    It gives me life🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎚🎹🎸🎷🎤🎛

  50. j.... P....

    My goodness. I have been replaying this song for the last hour. I am in love y'all! I am hooked. This song is soooo old school. The song has everything, i.e. musicianship, lyrics, beauty, etc. Eargasm. I am gonna come again. Ear hole get ready. Pure pleasure. Thank you D'Angelo for such loveliness.

  51. 2.... ....

    Still helping my soul fly....

  52. T.... G....

    2019 still listening, fan for life

  53. R.... P....

    Man this takes me back to the Ohio Players days
    which is a good thing...

  54. L.... L....

    No matter where I go I always end up here. This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

  55. D.... ....

    The brilliance of Black Messiah is that D'angelo made it for 2019. If you look around, a lot of Black people are Waking up to the fact that we are the true children of Israel. D'Angelo knew the Awakening was just around the corner, listen to 1000 deaths. In that song he says "the moment of truth is near" . The moment of truth he is referring to is the Awakening of the true children of Israel(The Negros).

    D.... ....

    The true Israel are those who are saved in Christ Jesus

  56. p.... ....

    292 people don't deserve to have ears. They should be cut off their heads!!!!!!!!!

  57. H.... ....

    the end is so dope!
