She is so talented, the song is great and the video is really nice !

Jordin Sparks - Tattoo Lyrics

oh oh oh

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later I get what I’m asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you (I’ll always have you)

Sick of playing all of these games
It’s not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror didn’t deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I’ve gotta be strong and leave you behind

If I live every moment
Won’t change any moment
There’s still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do, oh

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken (yeah)
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction (don’t look back)
I loved you once, needed protection (no, no)
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo

I can’t waste time so give it a moment (i can’t waste time)
I realized nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done (no need to worry)
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back at got a new direction (don’t you ever look back)
I loved you once and I needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you

Jordin Sparks - Tattoo Review

The song has a more rhythmic pop vibe similar to Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” and Rihanna’s “Good Girl Gone Bad”. The song is produced by hitmakers Stargate, known for their work with some premier UK, R&B and hip hop acts of the day. The production has a drum-based beat backed by a guitar-oriented melody similar to the two previous songs. The song showcases Jordin’s mid-range vocals as well as her ability to ride the beat. The lyrics are about a relationship that is ending as the title refers to memories from the relationship that will be etched on her heart “just like a tattoo”. The lyrics seem to target a younger audience.

According to Sparks, she loved the song the first time she heard it and immediately recorded it.
Even before the song’s release, Jordin described it as being very “Beyonce-ish”.
