Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas(born October 13, 1980 in Glen Cove, New York), professionally known as Ashanti, is a Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, model, and fashion designer who rose to fame in the early 2000s. She is most famous for her eponymous debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song "Foolish", and sold 503,000 copies (Gold) in its first week on release in the USA in April 2002, a record breaking feat. In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Foolish", and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe). She broke records again by having three Top Ten songs (Foolish, What's Luv, & Always on Time (with Ja Rule)) on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week. Ironically, Ashanti wrote and sang background on the song "Ain't It Funny" sung by Jennifer Lopez which was also in the top 10 charts at the same time as "Foolish", "Always on Time" (with Ja Rule) and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe).

say that you want me
say that you'll never leave me
you gotta tell me you need me
dont let them take your love away
(repeat 2x)
some say that I am a fool to love you
and some say that im to dumb to know whats right for me
but only I can live my life, and only I can feel my heart ache
I never play to know everything but I know when your loves away
I cant sleep and I cant eat and I can live and I cant breathe
so dont make a fool of me, just love me
[chorus] 2x
now they say that me loving you will hurt me
and they say its a matter of time before you break my heart
but even when were far apart I always feel that you are with me
I hope and pray almost everyday that our love never goes away
cuz I can't see where I would me without your love all over me
so dont make a fool of me just love me and say
[chorus] 2x
baby your all, all that I need, need in my life, right here with me
[repeat 2x]
