Mary--- U betta SANG this song Dammit! This is that ghetto-gutter raspy voice bluesy ol rickety wooden church organ down south soul. NO one is puttin the smack down of the pain of love like my momma MaryJ.
"you said you werent mine, so ill go on without cha, if you want to shine ill let you shine without me, cuz i been to good to let you take me down ah, dead end street or let you drive me to drinking, im feeling good and really good about me, so dont even think the other man are not checkin what you loss" that just set it in for me
"You hurt me so bad but I'm not gonna cry There's fish in the sea and I might take a dive too To see who is deep or as deep as me See, I need a man, I didn't know you were that weak"
I love this song soo much, the funny thing about mary is that she is so versatile, when u go to her concerts you realize she never lost the raspy she just learned how to sing differently i learned to really respect her as an artist with true soul and passion behind her voice.
You are right! yes Mary originally recorded this for the 1999 Mary CD But it didn't make it but it is such a good song they released as a bonus track on her next Cd No more drama you can tell by her voice which cd her songs were recorded for during that year of 1999 her voice was very raspy. and Alot of people don't know that this song CHECKIN' FOR ME was sampled by the Clark Sisters (They shall overcome)
This song was released overseas on a deluxe edition. I bought the Mary album & turn around and paid 30 for the overseas album. Just to have one of my friends steal the second disk with this song on it. This album is truly her my life 2
This is exactly why Mary is the best! This song is so raw!! Her voice the lyrics her delivery her pain she KILLED IT! Anybody that thinks these young ones nowadays got anything on Mary just need to listen to this song and that will be the end of that thought! Love Mary there is noone like her nor will there ever be! It gets no realer than tis song right here!!!
Yeah I wish Mary would go back to the deeper stuff like this!!! I'm glad for her that she is happier now, but she is the only one that can make pain feel so good!!! Love Mary!!
.. I'm feeling this song and the sample of "They Were Overcome" .. Check out - Kierra KiKi Sheards "2nd Win" (the next generation of the Legendary Clark Sisters .. she samples the song as well .. I'm Loving It!!!! .. Yes Mary for the Church soul you give on this joint :-)
I'll be glad when music makes a shift again because I need more songs like this plus i will be glad when she goes back to singing more soul songs and leave this R&B/Pop sound alone even tho that is the sound that is out right now...i miss her rapsy voice
you said you weren't mine so i'll go on without you, if you wanna shine i'll let you shine without me, cuz ive been to good to let you take me down a, dead end street or let you drive me to drinking, im feelin good and really good about me, so don't even think the other men are not checkin what you loss
@tccd THANK YOU for finally letting me know what Clark Sisters song this sampled! I had been asking everyone under the sun and no one knew the answer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You better steal the Clark Sister's song! That beat go hard and there was sooooo much she could have done with it but she let it go with this bare minimum. Ugh!

Overlooked album 💿 She needs a B-sides release
Yes originally recorded at Bailey Cathedral by the Clark Sisters

"you said you werent mine, so ill go on without cha, if you want to shine ill let you shine without me, cuz i been to good to let you take me down ah, dead end street or let you drive me to drinking, im feeling good and really good about me, so dont even think the other man are not checkin what you loss" that just set it in for me
Absolutely 👍🏽
Mary killed this song
Mary's best songs never get released.
Word!
This song is good
I remember paying 30 dollars for this deluxe album. I’m mad that iTunes don’t have this record. I guess because it was an oversee release
For real 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts. I need a Live B Side Album
"You hurt me so bad but I'm not gonna cry
There's fish in the sea and I might take a dive too
To see who is deep or as deep as me
See, I need a man, I didn't know you were that weak"
@hotchocolate that profile pic 😂
Ommmmg.how I missed this song...I thought I knew every Mary joint...shame ...shame...shame on me.love uuuu Mary ..thanks for endless heat...
I love this song soo much, the funny thing about mary is that she is so versatile, when u go to her concerts you realize she never lost the raspy she just learned how to sing differently i learned to really respect her as an artist with true soul and passion behind her voice.
I miss this voice Mary used to sing with.
Me too. Her voice now has lost the rasp and her voice has gotten so deep. It's lost the color it once had. But oh well, she's still Mary.
Me too
As an artist you have to evolve your voice im pretty sure her range is still there!
@@McCargo2 not the range the raspyness in her voice is gone
@@McCargo2 learn to stay on topic
still! whew! 💜

This song reminded me of the Mary album
I soo wish the grittier tracks had made it to Mary (this & Sincerity) as well as As and Almost Gone, which were on the Japanese version.
