Aaliyah
Aaliyah Dana Haughton (/ɑː.ˈliː.ə/; January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001) was an American singer, dancer, actress, and model.
She was born in Brooklyn, New York, and 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.
Aaliyah worked with record producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott for her second album, One in a Million; it sold 3 million copies in the United States and over eight million copies worldwide. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first film, Romeo Must Die. She contributed to the film's soundtrack, which spawned the single "Try Again". The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 solely on airplay, making Aaliyah the first artist in Billboard history to achieve this goal. "Try Again" earned Aaliyah a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocalist. After completing Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah filmed her role in Queen of the Damned. She released her third and final album, Aaliyah, in July 2001.

Aaliyah (album)
Aaliyah is the third and final studio album by American R&B recording artist Aaliyah, released on July 7, 2001, by Blackground Records and Virgin Records. After raising her profile with hit soundtrack singles during the late 1990s, Aaliyah started to work on the album in 1998, but rescheduled its recording around her developing film career. She resumed recording the record in 2000 at Sing Sing Studios in Australia, where she shot her role for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned during the day and recorded songs at night. Aaliyah worked primarily with Blackground's in-house crew of writers and producers, including Bud'da, J. Dub, Rapture, and Eric Seats, as well as longtime collaborator Timbaland.
Aaliyah was an R&B and neo soul record whose music drew on funk, hip hop, alternative rock, and electronica sounds, among others. The producers incorporated synthesizer melodies, fragmented beats, distorted guitar, and eccentrically manipulated vocals and song structures. Much of Aaliyah dealt with the complexities of romantic love and different stages in a relationship. Most of the songs were written by lyricist Static Major, who shared a close friendship and strong rapport with Aaliyah. She viewed the album as a reflection of herself as both a young adult and a matured vocalist.

A Girl Like You
by: AaliyahI?m lookin' for a girl like you
(Well, here I go)
Now, now, now, who's the baby bomb?
It dip and dodgin', cryin', sobbin'
Lookin' to be mobbin' 'cause it's just clockin' and robbin'
Oh hi now, welcome to my town
The Illy I-town, you got kids liftin' eyebrows
Every time you fly down, so lie down
Full maxin', seein' you laughin'
With passion happenin'
Every action has a reaction
In fact you got my mackin' crackin'
I heard you're lackin' satisfaction from your other half
And honey, you?re packin' from the back
And the captain makes it happen
Pardon, what?s the matter?
He gots you shattered
Heard that your man is scattered
That mack was plastered
You're fine thing think
Look at me good ain't with that game and true
You make me wanna go, ooh
Like tin clan man, known for my slang bang
Don't be alone when my fangs hang
My love like bang bang, think I maintain
I need a diva like Aaliyah
Plush like a cleaner 850 Beamer, hot
Don't let me break her like I feed her
I?m lookin' for a girl like you
(Well, here I go)
I hope, I hope to me you won?t lie too
(Well, tell me boy)
I?m lookin' for a guy like you
(Yeah, you know me, I hope, hope)
I hope you feel it in your knees

(Well, tell me boy)
I?m lookin' for a guy like you
(Yeah, you know me, I hope, hope)
I hope you feel it in your knees
(Oh yes, indeed)
When I first saw you
That?s when I knew, I really knew
I wanted to get close to you
I?m watchin', clockin' you
I just spend my days
Wonderin' when I will see your face
Boy, I just wanna see your face
And hear you say
I?m lookin' for a girl like you
(Well, here I go)
I hope, I hope to me you won?t lie too

I?m lookin' for a guy like you
(Yeah, you know me, I hope, hope)
I hope you feel it in your knees
(Oh yes, indeed)
It would not be too hard
If you want my heart, just say you love me
(I?m lovin' every inch)
No one in the world could tear us apart
I?ll be your lady
(Well, can I have a pinch?)
So what you say?
(What do I say?)
Baby, tell me what?s your name
(Treach, you wanna play?)
Will it be okay?
(Guaranteed a okay)

I hope you feel it in your knees
(Oh yes, indeed)
Oh baby, I could touch ya
You kiss me right
Be your lover undercover
Get a woman wet
I wanna get to know a little more about you
And then you smile
(And then what follows?)
Our love is pourin' down
(Like there ain?t no tomorrow)
Baby, can we talk?
(My heart ain?t hollow)
About us
(Melts in my mouth but that ain?t all though)
And then you smile
