I love this version him singing live can really see his real emotions to his beautiful music. And the voice at end end just sends chills down my back so raw
WOW MAN I'M IMPRESSED!!! Akon is one of the most personal voices that I had known and he is one of my favourite singers!! But lately I don't know what's happening to him with electro music...A thing that I know is "Konvicted" is his best album and I want he back with true music like "Never took the time", "The rain", "Once in a while", "Gangsta Bop", etc. GO ON AKON, YOU ROCK!!
I'm reminded of my ex every time I listen to this song. . Seems like some people you never can stop loving but you just learn to love them from a distance.
A moment ago it seemed It was yesterday You were here with me And everything seems to be the same What am I supposed to do with all these empty rooms? Sit here in solitude with the smell of your perfume You never took the time to know me You never took the time to understand You never took the time to know me, yeah 'Cause loving you is all I ever had Said loving you is all I ever had This wasn't what I wanted to be A man in misery Girl, I look back a thousand times And can't believe that you left me (Why you leave me, baby?) Why can't you understand my pain? How can I explain? Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong I can't believe your love is gone 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Said you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) You never took the time to know me, yeah (said you never took the time to know me) See, loving you is all I ever had Baby, loving you is all I ever had You're all I need You're all I see I wish that we could do it again 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Baby, you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) Said you never took the time to know me, yeah Because of you now I'm just a lonely man Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
Dear Akon, we need ur concert in Mumbai, India.......u visited hear last year for raone, but still we need u....:D Great inspiration, desire, Love and a lot of respect >>>>.AKON>>>>>>:D
I listened to this song so much back when it came out that I begin to write it on a piece of paper as it plays. What a legend Akon is! This brings back so many memories of my young adult life.
a true ganster , with emotion ... in other words he's human , and carrys a title . Respect Akon for who he is and what he does , cause he's truly a rapper , best or not , it's just another opinion .. RESPECT AKON!!
A guy who I felt in love with so much, more than anyone else in my life, did not take time to get to know me, but he only judged me, jumped to conclusions based on his bad experiences, and left me. This song describes exactly how I felt only except that I am not sure if he was in love with me till his judgemental conclusions were finalized..and I couldn't fall in love without anyone else ever since then.. 2019.. the happiest year of my life.. these three songs - 'Never took the time' 'the happiest year' and 'Can't fall in love without you' will always live in me.. 😢
Down the years I had been looking for a great song like this for consoling myself. It's really live experience going through a painful and horrible emotional drive. This song however, makes me feel the pinch I'm living with. Thanks a lot for putting these pieces of words together.
its funny how a song can relate to exactly how you are feeling and going through,to Melissa i wish you all the best in the future ,my only regret is that you never got a chance to know me but i guess it was for the best.hope you happy though
Abhir Konvict yeah man I never stop listening to akon. His music is depressive af although it makes us realize who tf cares jail is hell. Now let me the fuck out. Lol sent him a letter once changed me forever hahaha
This album will always be my one and only favorite album from Akon. I'm grateful that my dad and I enjoyed all his songs together when I was a little girl. Especially this one❤️
In my opinion the best songs were produced in the 90s and early 2000s❤
This one was not in the early 2000s but in the late 2000s.
Don't forget the 80s
That's true
2024 anyone?❤
2024 still kicking ❤
Yes
Yes
Yes
Here ❤
Dedicate this to my mom who died of cancer, To all the times we'll never have.Miss you more than anything.
good ..
Dedicated this to my father who I never got to meet him. Since he abandoned me now I'm a grown independent and successful woman.

Mecha Sparkz it's well sweetheart
Hope you flourishing with years on
Nov 24 still blazing
Still listenig in the begining of 2024
Wouldn't be the same song without the drummer. Love this song!

Who's doing the "clap" sound
whoever put the drums together is a genius.
the drummer understood his assignment perfectly
I love this version him singing live can really see his real emotions to his beautiful music. And the voice at end end just sends chills down my back so raw
One of the few artist who sound amazing live as well.
if you love live musicians that truly preform. ...
The Tragically Hip or Guess Who.

Yes, I can testify to that. Watching akon live is something else
He is lip syncing

A moment ago it seemed
It was yesterday
You were here with me
And everything seems to be the same
What am I supposed to do with all these empty rooms?
Sit here in solitude with the smell of your perfume
You never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me, yeah
'Cause loving you is all I ever had
Said loving you is all I ever had
This wasn't what I wanted to be
A man in misery
Girl, I look back a thousand times
And can't believe that you left me (Why you leave me, baby?)
Why can't you understand my pain?
How can I explain?
Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I can't believe your love is gone
'Cause you never took the time to know me
(Said you never took the time to know me)
You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah)
You never took the time to know me, yeah
(said you never took the time to know me)
See, loving you is all I ever had
Baby, loving you is all I ever had
You're all I need
You're all I see
I wish that we could do it again
'Cause you never took the time to know me
(Baby, you never took the time to know me)
You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah)
Said you never took the time to know me, yeah
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
