Text: Keri Hilson. In a Perfect World.... Knock You Down.
Keep rockin' and keep knockin'
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate that they're servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?
I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you, my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like I'm in a race, but I already won first place
I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did
You got me thinkin' 'bout our life, our house and kids, yeah
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
'Cause boy, you came around and you knocked me down
Knocked me down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
I never thought I'd hear myself say
Y'all go 'head, I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today
I used to be commander-in-chief of my pimp ship flyin' high
'Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky
Captain, I'm crashing, don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could look back and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would, baby, if I could?
Miss Independent to the fullest
The load never too much, she helpin' me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight, girl
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Keep rockin' and keep knockin'
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate that they're servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have dessert or disaster?
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down
Won't see it comin' when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
See when love comes it knocks you down, knocks you down
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate that they're servin' on a platter
