[@yebostephen6307]

This one was not in the early 2000s but in the late 2000s.

WOW MAN I'M IMPRESSED!!! Akon is one of the most personal voices that I had known and he is one of my favourite singers!! But lately I don't know what's happening to him with electro music...A thing that I know is "Konvicted" is his best album and I want he back with true music like "Never took the time", "The rain", "Once in a while", "Gangsta Bop", etc. GO ON AKON, YOU ROCK!!

Why can't you understand my pain? How can I explain? Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong I can't believe your love is gone 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Said you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) You never took the time to know me, yeah (said you never took the time to know me) See, loving you is all I ever had Baby, loving you is all I ever had You're all I need You're all I see I wish that we could do it again 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Baby, you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) Said you never took the time to know me, yeah Because of you now I'm just a lonely man Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
