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.
Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only thing of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya wanna get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give one good reason
Why I should, darlin'?
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
Back in the day
I shoulda bee wiser
But what can I say
I shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid
That you'd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You put my heart through hell
And now youwanna get with me
Just for old time sake
Well I am not about to make that same mistake
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forge
Tell me why
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
Back in the day when I was young
I wasn't afraid to love
Back in the day
You were the one what was I thinking of
Back in the day
Shoulda been wiser
Shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid I made a mistake
No one know
