Keys, Alicia - 101 Lyrics






You used to the sound of a heart that's breaking
I know it don't faze you anymore
You're the king of the game that you're playing
I know you've played it a hundred times before

You fill your bedroom up with trophies
Then you get a kick out of closing the door
Got all the words to keep on hoping
I know you've said them a hundred times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Then there's me, just love me for fun
Then there's me, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

I might as well stand in front of a bullet
Close my eyes and kick the chair to the floor
It's like a speeding train is coming,
I know you've crashed it 100 times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Damn there's me, just love me for fun
Uh there's me, no, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

Everybody says I gotta be crazy
That I deserve everything that I get
But I got a feeling
That makes me wanna ignore all that you've done a 100 times before

Cause then there's me, could I be the one
And baby there's me, to make you undone
Uh darling there's me, no use, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101
Me, 101
So I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be a 101
Maybe it's time, maybe it's me
Maybe I could be, Maybe pretend
I gotta be, I wanna be 101,
Yeah baby

  1. L.... J....

    2019 still here listening with my boo jrj

  2. S.... J....

    I wish she made more songs like this w depth and consciousness.

    S.... J....

    Sam Jackson she definitely does... you would just need to listen to all of her albums more closely. But girl on fire and element of freedom are probably the best albums to look for that

  3. L.... J....

    Who's listing with me in 2018

  4. P.... N....

    Beautifully sad x

  5. A.... M....

    I liked it until it got to the hallelujahs. What the hell happened there?

  6. T.... ....

    My exact feeling right now... man...

  7. B.... B....

    The ending part of the track is the PERFECT album ending!!!!

  8. q.... ....

    its crazy I found my 101

  9. N.... L....

    Love love love this song

  10. k.... ....

    Very personal song

  11. L.... F....

    Story of my life

  12. S.... a....

    I might have been 101, but I'll NEVER be 102

    S.... a....

    Lmaooooo

  13. J.... M....

    such a powerful song. more than the obvious, this struggle can be internal, not necessarily someone else.

  14. C.... D....

    "Everybody says I gotta be crazy
    That I deserve everything that I get
    But I got a feeling
    That makes me wanna ignore all that you've done a 100 times before."

    Such a powerful song.

  15. m.... m....

    love this song going through the same thing :(

  16. K.... Y....

    I think that this album is my favorite album by her and I love this song.

    K.... Y....

    Kyronn Young this album was such a step up from element of freedom. im completely obsessed w her new album "here"

  17. F.... S....

    Then there is me all fox for you gun , Then there is me just love me for fun.

  18. T.... S....

    oh please, 50 shades of grey is a bullshit booklet for 40 y.o. trivial sexually repressed housewives who no longer fuck with their husbands. You just can't put that stuff next to a song like this one.

  19. D.... B....

    I didn't mean to love this song... but how could you not. Its amazing

  20. M.... B....

    I always think that AKeys's own music is the only way to release HER TRUE feeling. She may lies, but she doesn't lie in her music. Many of her songs are about Swizz Beatz (TSWABH, Unthinkable, etc) since her last album. And strangely enough, in this album there're quite enough sad songs. I think her marriage is kinda like Swizz keeps hurting (cheating) her but she's so madly in love with him that she knows she's crazy but she just can't leave him.

  21. f.... ....

    allicia keys is the best singer she sings in the best thing that is not lady gaga rihanna thing in simple no use of video.

  22. Y.... M....

    This amazing song must be a single!

  23. S.... P....

    It's written by Emeli Sande

    S.... P....

    Wow it's so totally her style of writing but its truly Keys life..

  24. M.... ....

    mine too !

  25. E.... T....

    Very nice love this song.Hey if you guys are looking to here new music stop by an check me out. Im an upcoming artist an i would love if you guys could check me out an let me know what you guys think...

  26. s.... m....

    such a beautiful melody,just happen to hear it when my frame of mind was in perfect synce at that point in time.

  27. l.... c....

    I saw her perform this song ....beautiful!!! I was almost in tears ...

    l.... c....

    ladychevy chevy I would have been bawling😭😭😭

  28. l.... ....

    i saw her tonight this song was amazing live <3

  29. n.... ....

    she Got me with this One! powerful...

  30. A.... h....

    This song!!! Your the most Amazing and realist Artist ALIVE!! thank you so much I LOVE YOU AK(:

  31. S.... G....

    This song describes my LIFE right this moment... Maybe 101 would have been an exception... Never be someone's 101... You're better than that...

  32. W.... B....

    THAT SONG OF GOD, REFUTES MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF NOT EVEN THE KING, HALLELUJAH. BILL GODS TRUE SON♥★♣+▲\♥|

  33. J.... H....

    i heard this from her concert!!! :)

  34. E.... G....

    Basically it means that a girl is with this guy, well aware of the long list of girls that he has been with and ended up hurting before her. She see's herself as girl number 101, claiming onto the hope that maybe, just maybe she'll be his exception for a change

  35. E.... G....

    This is such an amazing song, so deep and epic! I get 50 Shades of Grey-vibes from it, kind of think that the guy in the song sounds a lot like Christian Grey. It would be perfect on the soundtrack for the movie! Looove the darkside transition of it at 4:33, it shows the two sides of the song!

    E.... G....

    Stupid ass comment w your ignorant bs.

  36. I.... O....

    Woooow!!!

  37. D.... T....

    Thank you please put more aliciakeys up

  38. t.... m....

    what a great song!

  39. J.... D....

    Can someone tell me what this song means?

  40. W.... W....

    Did I already say, "Dang"?
    Cuz DANG.

  41. D.... R....

    is the same song

  42. M.... ....

    The music is so beautiful...

  43. G.... L....

    The best thing Alicia has ever written. Masterpiece.

    G.... L....

    It was written by Emeli Sande

  44. V.... S....

    This song breaks my heart everytime i hear it.

  45. D.... J....

    Gudd song but the end just hits mi heart I so understand #LoveIt#

  46. a.... ....

    I love Alicia and every song she has ever sang or wrote but I don't like the idea of her being alright with being anyone's 101. Still this is an amazing song like every song on her new album.

  47. R.... A....

    the second song that appears in the minute 4:40 as it is called plis?

  48. C.... A....

    Then there's me...

  49. M.... M....

    masterpiece!

  50. A.... P....

    i love her!

  51. L.... ....

    I am sooo speechless with this song! It's been on repeat all day. The lyrics and emotion are just soo beautiful! and the interlude at the end? I practically died! One of her best! Up there with "Diary"

  52. P.... ....

    I think the 2 minute song at the end is a bonus track or an interlude. it gave me goosebumps. oh yes, I bought the CD on release day

  53. l.... ....

    alicia keys will always get my money. that said,this album is really good.

  54. J.... ....

    I play it and replay it over and over again.

  55. J.... ....

    Mine too! :)

  56. N.... D....

    track 2 when its all over is my favorite as well !

    N.... D....

    Ignorant feeble-minded sheep

  57. N.... D....
