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.
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own
Darlin', darlin'
You know if you cared anything about love
You woulda been front and center
Lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey, honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You woulda been much more tender
Ooh squeezin' me, caressin' me
You coulda had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
You had to be tough
You told your friends
You had me wrapped around your finger
You were talking kinda cocky
Like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew
That things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own
Sugar, sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You woulda been talkin' to me
Everyday
Seven days a week
Baby, baby
You shoulda been givin' me
A little more time
But you were just much too busy
Abusin' me and usin' me
I woulda done about anything
Ya wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy about you
When I was sittin' thinkin'
I was kinda special
You were runnin' round
Hittin' every other girl in town
How could you love me
When you knew you played me funny
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own
Deep in my heart
You were number one to start
But then you changed
You threw my heart away
Told your friends that
You were runnin' thangs
Why'd it have to be that way
You're wrong
Dead wrong
Tell me how
How can we go wrong
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own
