Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979
– August 25, 2001), who performed under the mononym Aaliyah, was an American
R&B recording artist, actress and model. She was born in Brooklyn, New York,
and was raised in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 10, she appeared on the
television show Star Search and performed in concert alongside Gladys Knight.
At age 12, Aaliyah signed with Jive Records and her uncle Barry Hankerson's
Blackground Records. Hankerson introduced her to R. Kelly, who became her
mentor, as well as lead songwriter and producer of her debut album, Age Ain't
Nothing but a Number. The album sold three million copies in the United States
and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA). After facing allegations of an illegal marriage with R.Kelly,
Aaliyah ended her contract with Jive and signed with Atlantic Records.
[Intro - Missy Elliott]
I've been around the world (mmmmm)
And I still can't find my baby
See I searched high and low
And I still...still can't find my baby
[Verse 1 - Aaliyah]
(Ashame) It's ashame (shame, shame)
That I've searched the sky, high and low
Still can't find my baby..
Where could he (where could he be at?)
Where, could he be? (where could he be?)
Let me walk the streets
Through snow and sleet
Until I find my baby, baby
[Chorus:]
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi
I can't find my baby
Packed his clothes and didn't say good-bye
Is he seein another lady?
Should I search this earth til' I die?
Or let it drive me crazy?
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi
[Verse 2:]
(Oh) It's a crime (crime, crime)
When you take this poor heart of mine
Use it for a rug to walk on (a rug to walk on)
Then you're gone (gone)
Then right out my life for the last time
I'm gonna find my baby, baby
[Chorus:]
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi (ay-yi-yi)
I can't find my baby
Packed his clothes and didn't say good-bye (he didn't say goodbye)
Is he seein another lady?
Should I search this earth til' I die? (until I die-die-die-die)
Or let it drive me crazy?
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi
[Hook:]
Why can't
You call me?
Dial me
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Why can't
You call me?
Dial me
Yeah-yeah
[Chorus (repeat 2x)]
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi
I can't find my baby
Packed his clothes and didn't say good-bye
Is he with another lady?
Should I search this earth til' I die?
Or let it drive me crazy?
Been around the world and ay-yi-yi
