[English]

Akon, Enrique

RedOne, Konvict, yeah

One day at a time, yeah

It's one day at a time

Saw you in the club

You were dancing with somebody

So close so tight

You were killing me so slowly

My friends were telling me what you're doing

Can drive a man so crazy

I try to live my life

It's been 6 months since you left me

So I, oh I, oh I

Still thinking about you, baby

I try, I try

But I guess, I gotta take it

One day at a time

I gotta let you go

One day at a time

It seems so impossible

One day at a time

I gotta let you go

And I know, yes, I know

I gotta take it one day at a time

One day, one day, one day

One day at a time

One day, one day, one day

One day at a time

I'm not the jealous type

But you stole my heart, baby

Dancing with that guy

Made it so hard for me to watch, baby

I'm just spinning around in them circles

I'm going through it in my mind, baby

Had to suck up the tears from my nostrils

To stop from crying out loud, baby

Oh I, oh I

Still thinking about you baby

I try, I try

Can't stop thinking about you, baby

Why, oh why?

I keep thinking about you, baby

I try, I try

But I guess, I gotta take it

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

One day at a time

But it seems so impossible

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

And I know, and I know

Gotta take it one day at a time

First thing I gotta do is try to face it (Try to face it)

But your voice keeps playin' in my ear (Playin' in my ear)

It just makes me crazy trying to fake it (Tryna fake it)

The truth hurts so bad, it's not what I wanna hear

But I guess, I gotta take it

One day at a time

I gotta let you go

One day at a time

It seems so impossible

One day at a time

I gotta let you go

And I know, yes, I know

I gotta take it one day at a time

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

One day at a time

But it seems so impossible

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

And I know (And I know), yes, I know (Yes, I know)

I gotta take it one day at a time

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

One day at a time

But it seems so impossible

One day at a time

Said, I gotta let you go

And I know (And I know), yes, I know (Yes, I know)

I gotta take it one day at a time
