Song: When I see you By: Fantasia

I put your picture on my mirror
Start to blush when somebody says your name
In my stomach there's a pain
See you walkin my direction, I go the other way
I start to stutter when I speak
Try to stand, but my knees go weak
What's happenin to me?
In the dark can you tell me what it means?

I lay my head on my pillow
Starrin out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
The reason why

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you

I scribble X and O's in my notebook
Checkin how my hair and my nails look
I feel myself in the zone
I get nervous when you call, so I say I'm not home
I see your face when I hear my favorite song
Should I send an e-mail at home?
You're the #1 topic on the phone
I wonder if you know, or do yo have a clue? Yeah

I lay my head on my pillow
[ When I See U lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
You got me starrin out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
What's the reason why? Yeah

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you

Something now is taking over me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm not gonna run I'm,
Just gonna stand here and see

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you

-What i like about this song: I find this song interesntion because it kind of reminds me of something that I have felt before. I like that Fantasia explains and or describes things with out actually saying. For exsample "I see your face when I hear my favorite song". She might be saying that he is always in her thoughts.


-How does the title fit the work? I believe that there ismore then on eway to view how the title fitas what she is trying to express. For example when she "See you walkin my direction, I go the other way". Comparing it to, "Something now is taking over me, I'm not gonna run I'm. Just gonna stand here and see" They both have to do with his presens


-Author's use of poetic devices. metaphor, alliteration, personification, imagery, and consonance, and point out where the author uses them.
Then comment on how they influence the poem.
Do they create an emphasis on a certain word or words?
Do they focus the reader's attention on an image?
Do they create a feeling within the poem?


-Explain the tone of the piece. What is the tone? How did the writer succeed in creating this tone? Think about the words he/she used to create images. Consider the actual sound of the words as well
