El rhythm and blues (abreviado por sus siglas R&B) o jumping music es un género musical derivado en su origen del jazz, el gospel y el blues. El término musical fue introducido en Estados Unidos en 1949 por Jerry Wexler de la revista Billboard. Sustituyó al término conocido como "race records" (grabaciones de raza), considerado ofensivo para la posguerra mundial así como para la categoría de Billboard "Harlem Hit Parade" en junio de 1949, y principalmente era usado para identificar el género musical que más tarde se desarrollaría en forma de rock and roll.
Toni Braxton (nacida como Toni Michelle Braxton el 7 de octubre de 1967) es una cantante de Soul y R&B y actriz estadounidense. Conocida por su grave voz de contralto, Braxton ha ganado siete premios Grammy a lo largo de toda su carrera.
Braxton comenzó su carrera cómo solista en 1993, publicando su homónimo álbum debut que alcanzó el número uno en la lista Billboard 200 de los discos más vendidos en Estados Unidos. El éxito continuó con su segundo álbum Secrets el cual contiene la canción Un-Break My Heart, balada que se convirtió en todo un éxito mundial y logró posicionar a Toni Braxton cómo una estrella internacional. En total se estima que el álbum Secrets alcanza los veinte millones de copias vendidas en todo el mundo.
Today I got so mad at you, yeah
It's like I couldn't control myself
Girl, I was done, I was so through with you
But I know I couldn't love nobody else!
Boy, I feel like you do
I'm so 'bout done with you
I'm sick and tired of going through changes
But I love, I hate you
I don't want, but I want to
Back and forth, and back
What should we do?
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down, yeah
When love takes over, your emotions spins you round and round?
Well, I don't, well I don't know what you're feeling
Well, I don't, well I don't know what is real
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down, yeah
And it goes back around
Today I've said some things to you, babe
I don't like the way it felt, no!
I've been giving you, giving you so much attitude, yeah
I guess I should really check myself!
Well, you've started it first,
You said we'd make it work
But here we are going through changes!
But I need you, can't stand you
I don't want you, but damn you
Back and forth, and back
What should we do?
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down, yeah
When love takes over, your emotions spins you round and round?
(And it goes back around!)
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what you're feeling
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what is real
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down, yeah
'Cause it goes back around!
We don't ever have to worry babe
'Cause we gon' be alright
We aren't going nowhere darling
Just hold on, for the ride!
When love is like a roller coaster
