[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
If you could only see
That I was not put here for you
To judge me and dispute my innermost truth
And after all these years of enmity, envy, and tears
It's a shame you don't know me at all

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I was wondering
Would you cry for me
If you saw that I was languishing?
I was wondering
Would you cry for me
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe?

[Rap: Jump Smokers]
What’s the definition of languishing?
It’s when you’re home all alone but your phone won’t ring
She don’t call, she won’t text
Got you staring at your Blackberry so perplexed
Like, what did I do? How could I done better?
Forget Facebook and write a real love letter
To get your girl back, back by your side
That right there should bring a tear to her eye
What’s the definition of languishing?
It’s when you’re home all alone but your phone won’t ring
‘Cause he don’t call, he won’t text
Got you staring at your iPhone so perplexed
Like, what did I do? How could I done better?
Forget MySpace and write a real love letter
To get your dude back, go get your king
MC, JS, both languishing
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I was wondering
Would you cry for me
If you saw that I was languishing?
I was wondering
Would you cry for me
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe?
