Knock You Down (Radio Edit)

[Intro: Kanye West]

Keep rocking, and keep knocking

Whether you Louboutin it up or Reebokin'

You see the hate that they’re serving on a platter

So what we gonna have, dessert or disaster?

[Verse 1: Keri Hilson]

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 (As hard as I did, yeah)

You got me thinking 'bout our life, our house, and kids, yeah

Every morning, I look at you and smile

'Cause boy, you came around

And you knocked me down, knocked me down

[Chorus: Keri Hilson]

Sometimes, love comes around

(Love comes around, 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

[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]

I never thought I'd hear myself say (Say, mm)

"Y'all go 'head" (Oh)

"I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today"

(Kick it with my girl today)

I used to be commander-in-chief

On my pimp ship, flyin' high (Flyin’ high)

’Til I met this pretty little missile (Oh)

That shot me out the sky (Oh, shot me out the sky, uh)

Hit, so now, I'm crashin’ (Don't know how it happened)

But I know it feels so damn good

Said if I could go back and (Make it happen faster)

Don't you know I would, baby, if I could? (Oh)

Miss Independent (To the fullest)

The load never too much, she helpin' me pull it

She shot the bullet that ended that life (Oh)

I swear to you, the pimp in me just died tonight

Girl, sometimes, love...

[Chorus: Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, Both]

Sometimes, love comes around (Aye)

(Love comes around, love comes around)

(Oh, it comes around)

And it knocks you down (Hey, hey)

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

(Ooh, when it knocks you down, oh) (Hey)

Sometimes, love comes around (Ooh-ooh, yeah, comes around)

And it knocks you down (Oh, whoa)

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

[Verse 3: Kanye West with Keri Hilson, (Keri Hilson)]

Tell me now, can you make it past your Caspers?

So we can finally fly off into NASA

You was always the cheerleader of my dreams

That seemed to only date the head of football teams

And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing (Ooh, I)

We were never meant to be, baby; we just happened

So, please, don’t mess up the trick

"Hey Young World," I'm the new Slick Rick

They say I move too quick, but we can't let this moment pass us  (By)

Let the hourglass pass right into ashes (Ah, I)

Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses

So I wrote this love letter right before my classes (Ooh)

How could a goddess ask someone that's only average for advice?

OMG, you listen to that—?

Woe is me, baby, this is tragic

'Cause we had it, we was magic

I was flyin'; now, I'm crashing (Oh)

This is bad, real bad—Michael Jackson

Now I'm mad, real mad—Joe Jackson

You should leave your boyfriend now, I'ma ask him

[Chorus: Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, Both]

Sometimes love comes around

(Love comes around, love comes around)

Comes around, whoa

And it knocks you down

Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down

Get back up when it knocks you down

Sometimes love comes around (When love comes around)

When love comes around

And it knocks you down (Eh-eh, oh-oh)

Just get back up when it knocks you down

Knocks you down (Eh-eh, oh-oh)

Knocks you down

[Outro: Keri Hilson]

Knocks you down
