This song was written from a relationship that didn't work out. It's about a young lady who had ambitions to become everything she dreamed of. She lived in Denver at the time. Eventually her personal life took her in a different direction than mine.
Song Description
This song is a very inspirational r&b composition because of the way the song components are put together and conveyed.It's a story-line that's well written and vividly shows what has happened to this relationship. The lead vocals are extremely clear and has a solid texture to it, plus unique. The vocals are also well pronounced. The song definitely shows a heartfelt and sincere artist. The song has the violins helping the piano to carry the background against the artist's voice which mixes well. This song is high on my chart of "love songs."

Lyrics
[Verse One]
I fell in this spell for you on the first day that we met
In a little church on the avenue, how can I forget?
You made me promises and you said that you would keep
But you needed my conveniences cause your game was weak
[Chorus]
Beam me up Scotty, this is an emergency
Beam me up Scotty, look what she?s done to me
[Verse Two]
How did I come to this? Another love falls again
And you don?t have no strategy to leave me like a friend
So who will take my place in the passion of the dark
And who will take your place in the emptiness of my heart
[Chorus]
Beam me up Scotty, this is an emergency
Beam me up Scotty, look what she?s done to me
[Verse Three]
Who will build you up?
When your walls of stone tumbles down. And your favorite fool, not around
Then I hope you learned something, to put in your conscience
Cause you don?t know, you can?t feel and can?t see what?s inside of me
You can?t hear, you don?t care, you?re not real and that?s no good for me
[Chorus]
Beam me up Scotty, this is an emergency
Beam me up Scotty, look what she?s done to me
[Verse Four]
You say, you?ve got places to be, you say, you?ve got people to see
You say, your love don?t come cheap, you say, that?s the way to be
You say, need your privacy but I say, it?s too much for me
Don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t?.Don?t lie to me
Don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t?.Don?t cry to me
Don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t don?t?.Make me believe
