Ho...oh...oh...oh...yeah...

Oh...oh...oh...

Mmm...mmm...

Every once in awhile I see her smile

It turns my day around

Girl, with those eyes can stare through the lies

And see what your heart was sayin'

Think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way, hey...

When you think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way

Ooh, friend of a friend, a friend till the end

That's the kind of girl she was

Taken away so young, taken away

Without a warning, oh

Think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way, hey...

When you think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way

Whoa...ho...I know you and you're here

In every day we live

I know her and she's near

I can feel her when she sings

Aaliyah, where are you now

Are you far away from here

I don't think so, I think you're here, yeah

Takin' our tears away

Think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way, hey...

When you think of Aaliyah, laugh, don't cry

I know she'd want it that way

Well, I know she'd want it that

Aaliyah, Aaliyah

Well, I know she'd want it that way

Aaliyah, Aaliyah

Now I know she'd want it that way

Aaliyah
