Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis & Mariah Carey Somewhat Loved
It’s a musical legends affair on Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ latest offering “Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin’ My Heart).” The iconic production duo recruited Mariah Carey for the new single, which is expected to appear on their upcoming debut studio album Jam & Lewis, Volume 1. Other featured artists include Mary J. Blige, Charlie Wilson, Boyz II Men and Morris Day, Jerome Benton and The Roots, Toni Braxton and Heather Headley.
“When we started Jam & Lewis: Volume 1, we put a wishlist together of all our favorite artists. The chance to reunite with our friend and fellow Songwriters Hall of Fame partner Mariah was wishlist fulfillment at its finest,” Jam and Lewis said in a press statement announcing the exciting collaboration. “Working with Jimmy & Terry through the years has been one of the greatest creative journeys I’ve ever taken,” Carey said in the same statement. “It’s a great honor for me to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime album!”
Early last week, the Grammy-winning songstress parted ways with JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Management team to partner with Range media citing her desire to work with a small team.
Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis & Mariah Carey – Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin’ My Heart) (prod. Mariah Carey & Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis)
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
We stood there alone
In that silent corridor
Those unspoken words
Conjure fixation
Capturing me
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Fell) Helplessly into bliss
Just like Fall things started to switch
And now Spring’s everything that I miss
Somewhat loved
The more I thought about you
Was the less I thought about me
And I lost myself in this dream
Somewhat loved
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
There you go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
No such thing as lovers and friends
There you go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
Spun out of control
In this faithless world I must own
Angel turned his back
And where wings once were
They were no longer intact
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Fell) Helplessly into bliss
Just like Fall things started to switch (Fall)
And now Spring’s everything that I miss
Somewhat loved (only somewhat)
The more I thought about you (the more I thought)
Was the less I thought about me
And I lost myself in this dream
Somewhat loved (only somewhat)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
There you go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again (why you got to go away?)
No such thing as lovers and friends
And there you go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
La la la la
(There you go)
La la la la
(There you go)
Baby
La di da da da
Stay with me
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
You go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
There is no such thing as lovers and friends
There you go
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart (I think you do it baby)
Breakin’ my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
(You’re making me go thru things)
Breakin’ my heart again
(That I never went thru before)
No such thing as lovers and friends
Oh baby you’re breakin’
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
Breakin’ my heart again
