LYRICS:
Verse 1:
They see you and see a thug yea yea
I see you and see my love yea yea
You roll up they running scared yea yea
But me I’m running to you with my fears yea yea
Ain’t found no one that can measure up to you
This feeling I feel I’ve only felt wit you yea yea
You got these hittas so intimidated
With just a hit it ain’t no hesitating
I see things in you I can’t see in nobody
It breaks my heart that you can’t be beside me
Writing you this letter in my feelings
Just hearing your baritone on the phone
I get overwhelmed
Boy you know we locked in my heart locked down
I swear I can’t find nobody else to fit your crown
(Your crown)
Pre:
I been looking all my life
for a real one like you
I know I would never find
another real one like you
Ooo you glisten you just shine
like nobody else do
don’t even know why I’m still trying to find
a real one like you
Hook:
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
Pen to the letter cuz wit you I got no worries
Things that you do it always hit and make my soul shake
I try not to but I often think
I finally found my soulmate
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
A G and a gentleman who knew that they could coordinate
Ooo you hit different even took care of my family
I think I been scared to say
I finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
Verse 2:
They can’t love you like I love you sounds so cliché
but when you say that to me, it just rings so truthfully
Had a couple substitutes, but they ain’t the real thing
comparing everyone i get to the one can’t be replaced
Oooo what to do
When I’m craving attention but nobody’s you
Only attracted to them gangstas cause of you
Wish I had just one forever to spend wit you
Pre:
I been looking all my life for
a real one like you
I know I would never find
another real one like you
Ooo you glisten you just shine
like nobody else do
don’t even know why I’m still trying to find
a real one like you
Hook:
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
Pen to the letter cuz wit you I got no worries
Things that you do it always hit and make my soul shake
I try not to but I often think
I finally found my soulmate
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
A G and a gentleman who knew that they could coordinate
Oou you hit different even took care of my family
I think I been scared to say
finally found my soulmate
I finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate

This song is filled with so much joy and pain. I found my soulmate. We were planning our wedding for August 2024. He died July 9, 2023. Life will never be the same. I miss him so much. I lost my engagement ring. He wasn't upset. He said now you can get what you want. He kept telling me i have something coming for you. Three days after he died i got a new ring in the mail. Even in death he showed me how much he cared for me.

[@nikkidaniels415]

I agree he is her soulmate. I hope they can be together soon

[@nubianwildflower]

I thought this was about the boyfriend that was murdered.

[@iraqwilliams2210]

The question is is C-Murder OK with her doing this video with a well-known rapper “Game” I think its tasteless until I hear C-Murder sign off that he’s OK with this I think that she is walking on coals. She up in this video like this is her man he’s her soulmate how she think her to go and feel about this video that’s the question? Oh no I’m not feeling the song I’ll think this is her best work you know Monica got different layers to her but the same one of them. I don’t even feel the heart in the song like all of her all of Monica songs she sang a song with soul and heart I don’t hear the heart that’s because probably the hearty in it because she with her soulmate but oh no you do a sexy video all you want if the lyrics ain’t believable it’s just what it is video

[@sharonharris7245]

C-Murda probably loves this as much as we (true fans) do! I love this song so much! No belting, just good ole soul singing like the good old days! Mo, you've done it again!❤❤😊

I think she picked the Game because he remind her of C because of his size and all that

yes 🙌🏽 that’s what hurts the most. We wished these courts would empathize with us but they don’t so we have to join them and free our people 😢💯❤️💯

[@lynnrichardson8884]

Beautiful and heart-felt song! You're still in the Game!❤😊

[@darcellpope2246]

Yasssssssssss everything is blossoming 🎉🎉❤❤

[@Sjames-op5mw]

I feel that way about someone and this one hit hard for me. Finding the words to express something that you can relate to is special💙💕

[@TitusWare]

First listen and, I've been listening to this song all day...Our girl, Monica IS still standing.

[@iancjordan1811]

It doesn’t stop with her. I met her at the Celebrity House in Atlanta in 95 and she was so nice!!!! She was my first celebrity crush. I own a media company and I need to write something on her because her career is actually amazing

[@SentrailleSAli]

Monica is what HOME feels like. Every time she releases something it reminds me of a big hug from that older cousin your don’t get to see often. Timeless artistry that will never get old to me. Beautiful video and song. We ready for this album Mo. 🤍🤍

[@latoyareaves5181]

The way she is singing this song is pure love to him, and then she used Game as a replacement. C-Murda will also be her soul-mate ❤

[@halimakindamba4883]

I bet dhe was crying and had to stop for mnts behind the scene

[@anatiburcio965]

This song goes straight to the heart . I believe I found my soulmate I’m just to scared to even think about it but when we have disagreements it hurts so bad 😢 like all I say in my mind is if you have to walk away I’ll let you but my heart don’t want to let go ❤

[@danyaledavis9926]

I know the feeling

[@sorayagary853]

When you have disagreements, just listen. LISTEN. You both are saying something. Had a disagreement with my ❤. Yes, it HURT, and when you say your scared, it's ok. Let him know that. I made the mistake of not listening to him and he was telling exactly how he feels. What I wanted to hear all these years. Hold on to him. Monica is the truth. This touched home with me. Been rocking with him since '99. Not going to give up!!!

[@david918bensonjr.5]

😊sing it baby

[@AprilBanks-ry4pl]

Monica you got me in tears! Man I watched this video more then once. I paid attention particularly towards the ending. Where the man portraying your soul mate was unreachable and then “poof” he vanished. I felt like the vanishing was how in this life circumstances separate us from our loved ones. Ultimately in this life death separates us from the body. But not from the spirit, within the last month. I have watched two men of my family pass on from their wives. Death came and snatched them their soul mates and it has been so unbearable and painful to witness. My God, My God please heal the broken hearts of many. We call unto your name for comfort, peace, unconditional love and mercy! Thank you my girl.

This comment hits home as I watch my mother go through grief after losing her soul mate.. my father. They were together from grade school.. had me at the age of 16.. married since 1986... and cancer just took my father away in January of this year. True soul mates.😢

[@sheiquitareed9808]

I love this but it seems like it’s written for her soulmate C-Murder it’s Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

[@DMB1125]

Monica will forever be that girl. Been rocking with her since 1995 when I was in kindergarten.

[@esidelouie]

Monica really showing the new girls how to do R&B

[@chasitythomas8652]

Monica is like fine wine....❤❤❤❤

[@theeliteclass1]

To those listening to this song and want to find a soulmate, I pray 🙏 that you will meet that soulmate who is decent, has morals and values, has standards, is caring, kind, committed, focused. A person who will love you, honour you and prioritise you, protect you, respect you, be honest with you, take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual needs, grows with you, and gives you all the good things that you deserve. ❤

[@butterflykisses1222]

Add to the prayer that they dont except a jail bird and pretend hes wearing a crown. Self love is best love to attract real love❤

[@tiffanymoore3297]

I can reading the comments and people are saying she's talking about C-Murder. Are we saying that she's saying that he is her soulmate?!🤔

[@theeliteclass1]

@butterflykisses9938: Yes and that too.

[@theeliteclass1]

@@tiffanymoore3297 : It seems that way.

[@aGwEENapple]

Thank you 🥰

[@stephenanderson1594]

No awards nominations this year too the DISRESPECT. Monica deserves every flower on ERFF. Happy Earth Day.

[@veapple3234]

Monica never disappoints she evolves with time ❤

[@alexisjones7729]

I'm Lovin this song. I hope her & The Game do some songs together on her new Album. They look good together I like this.👏🏽❤👌🏼

[@taytayrazors9033]

Yes💯

[@monicataylor1718]

Y’all do know she is talking about C-Murder

[@BLESSALL6480]

Love this and the Game was a great addition to this story.

[@keokabloomingburg3212]

So it's safe to say she's talking about c murda! Decades she's been in love with him and it won't go away. That's real!

[@feliciaanderson348]

This song is so beautiful! Finding your soulmate is so real! This song says so much! I love listening to this song! Monica always brings real music and the songs always are inspiring and encouraging!❤❤❤

[@aunibonnie6601]

My girl dont let up and it's on repeat❤❤ MY FAVORITE SINGER . A g and a gentleman who knew they could coordinate 🤞🏿🔥

[@CourageofFaithLLC]

Thank you for these visuals Monica Denise Arnold!! Classic Goonica!! This song is definitely about C-Murder!! ❤

[@christyswan882]

Love me some Ms. Monica's beautiful music!❤💯🙌🏽👏🏽 I am sorry, but hands down She's a Classy Songtress, R&B Queen, Legendary, and still Real! She's in the same lane as Mary J and Toni Braxton as far as I am concerned and the industry sleeps on her! Wishing her love, peace and blessings that her and Corey Miller 🙏🏽 ❤️ reunite as soul mates! Would love to see all three of those three powerhouse queens in concert! Throw in Tamia, Keisha Cole, Ashanti India, Erica, Queen Najah, Ella Mae, and HER! That's a dream concert I wouldn't miss!

[@msenzwanamakhaye7563]

Everytime when game gets in the video with the girl he nails it(acting) he done it with Nicki ❤

[@malemadonna13]

Monica is truly such a staple in R&B. I really hope this new era is going to be big for her. I think so many times she’s left out of the conversation when it comes to R&B legends, which she definitely is.

[@carlysmith4263]

I agree. But honestly I feel like this era will be HUGE for her! Hopefully the album comes next month. Then her following up with the country album will be even more exposure!

[@raymondedwards3940]

She Can NEVER be left out of R&B When you think of R&B she is one of the Solo Staples!! This Era is just showing she’s still PRESENT, she’s VINTAGE R&B, just showing the New Generation how it’s suppose to Be DONE ❤❤❤❤

[@tmo6200]

That part

[@tmo6200]

I believe this her time!

[@nancyfischer4875]

I’m not sure why cause she is the most consistent artist out of all of them. Popularity wise as well, her and Mary. AALIYAH passed, brandy is washed up, so is Ashanti, so is Mariah, so is Tamia, and so on only R and B Artist really popping as in female is Sza

[@user-rk5gf8dj4s]

I couldn't stop crying watching this video. I just lost my soul mate and all I can do is wish I still had physical time with him and I can't. I just have the memories. "Wishing you could hold me" hit so hard.

[@mratltv24]

Let get Monica to number 1 on billboard

[@amberowens3172]

My twin flame passed in April of this year. I was watching this video on mute in a bar the other night and saw the final scene. I knew instantly I had to download the song and boy am I in my feelings. Describes my baby perfectly. I pray this pain gets easier 🙏🏾

[@part3girl]

She has done it again! Song is 🔥, visuals are on point, n The Game was the perfect bow to tie it all together, love it Monica💜🥰

[@otamiacowans1031]

Monica has always been my favorite artist!! True music🥰 30 years later still jamming GO DIVA 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

[@MsTwiththeTea1980]
