Hello everyone, welcome to hive open mic week 220 My name is Samuel, and my user name is 
We have "Time" as our theme this week, which was selected by our community's recent Spotlight Artist, 
So for this week i will be doing a cover of a song Titled Never Took The Time by Akon.
Akon was raised primarily in Senegal, a country in West Africa, but he was born in the United States. He picked up five new instruments there, including as the drums, guitar, and djembe.
I've known AKON since I heard his song "Lonely" on the radio. His other songs became well-known during my teenage years, and "Don't Matter" is one of my favorites. I love almost every song he sings; his voice is quite good and sounds real.
I decided to sing this Akon song for this week's theme because it reminds me of my previous relationships with my ex. Despite my best efforts, all of my efforts to make our relationships work out were in vain. Time was going by, and I realized that our relationship wouldn't last. therefore I would advise others not to try to fix things they knew won't work out because doing so will only make the time pass.
song lyrics
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 that 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)
Said you never took the time to know me
(Said you never took the time to know me)
See, loving you is all I ever had (had, I had)
Baby, loving you is all I ever had
Ooh yeah, you're all I need
You're all I see
And 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-oh-oh, oh, yeah)
Said you never took the time to know me, yeah (oh)
Because of you, now I'm just a lonely man (oh)
Because of you, now I'm just a lonely man
Thank you so much for listening
