Natalie Nicole Alvarado (born September 2, 1979), better known simply as Natalie, is a Mexican-American R&B singer/songwriter.
After her high school years, she chose to study criminal justice after giving up her dreams of being a singer.
She was previously a cheerleader for the Houston Rockets NBA team and backup dancer for various R&B and rap artists from Houston, Texas. During her stint as a cheerleader, she was also working on her lyrical skills and even added rapping to her dance performances. Charles Chavez, founder of Latium Entertainment and producer of such artists as Baby Bash, Frankie J, and Chamillionaire, believed that she would have potential as a successful musical artist and introduced her to producers Happy Perez and Play N Skillz. Under Latium, she was initially signed as a rapper but later focused on singing, which she had frequently done for hooks on songs.
Natalie made her debut as a singer with her hit 2005 single "Goin' Crazy"; the song reached #13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Her self-titled debut album Natalie was released in May 2005 and reached #16 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. Her second single from the album, "Energy" (featuring Baby Bash), peaked at #66. The third & final single "Where Are You" (featuring Justin Roman) failed to chart. A fourth track, "Emptiness" managed to chart on Billboard's R&B Singles chart, although it was not released as a single. She also was the opening act of the 2005 Wango Tango music festival in Anaheim, California hosted by Los Angeles, California radio station KIIS and the sold-out 2005 Latium Tour of Baby Bash and Frankie J. Zalia Cosmetics also recruited her as a model.[3] She has also collaborated with Baby Bash on the songs "Bubbalicious" and "Throwed Off" from his 2005 album Super Saucy. She also has appeared on Chamillionaire's The Sound of Revenge in the song "Think I'm Crazy".
Natalie's second album, Everything New, was released in 2006. She has stated that the album aims toward a more "dance-pop" direction in musicality. She has also signed a deal to become a songwriter for EMI.
She is currently working on new material in 2010, which may be released sometime in the future

3. WHEN I WAS WITH YOU
When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore
I remember when you used to say
That you love me and you'd always stay
By my side, that you'd never leave me boy
So tell me why thing suddenly changed
Now here we are, on and off again
Don't wanna do it no more, I can't pretend
Like you didn't take a part of me with you
And now I can't stop thinkin' through
When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore
It's not the same, it ain't feelin' right
These memories that got your girl awake at night
I'm staying up waiting for phone calls
Doing nothing at all
It's getting harder to keep up with the fight
Still I wonder if you miss me
My days are over feelin' empty
You got me wishin' everyday you'd bring back my soul
Beacuse of you nothing let me go
When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore
If I could be your girl, and you would be my man
We'd still be together walking hand-in-hand
'Cause I was made for you, I think that you were made for me
Instead I keep thinking back to what we used to be
If I could be your girl, if you would be my man
We'd still be together walking hand-in-hand
'Cause I was made for you, I think that you were made for me
Instead I keep thinking back to what we used to be
When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore
When I was with you, everything felt right in my life
When I was with you, I was so proud to be by your side
When I was with you, I was loving you with all my might
When I was with you, when I was with you
Boy, now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about back in the days
When you held me in your arms where you take me away
Back to those days that we had before
I'm not your girl anymore

6. SOMETHING ABOUT YOU
[Chorus]
When I'm without you, I think about you
Baby boy, all day
There's something about you, I like about you
Something about your ways
When I'm without you, I think about you
Baby boy, all day
There's something about you, I like about you
Something about your ways.
I never had anybody come and sweep me away the way you do,
I used to think it was funny the way you had girls tripping on you
I used to say you wouldn't get me like this
I used to play, try to play
I used to be, the one you had to chase
now I see what I got to take.
If it takes getting to know you much longer than you should
I would go through it all for you, but I never thought I would
Cause the way you had me, is a mystery and I can't figure it out
The way you put it on me, with that smile of yours, now I need you around
[Chorus]
On a cloudy day, I could bring you sunshine, summer skies
I just had to say, that I know you never felt this way
I tell ya, by the way You're the one that I adore
Just let me say, it's you, it's you I want to know
Oooh girl, it's time for you to love me tonight
(it's time to love me tonight)
Lady, lady, lady, lady, lady
I told you, you'd be feeling me
[Chorus]
Boy you know that you're my baby
I love the way you make me smile
it took some time for me to see you
I know you've been there for a while
Baby girl You know I want you
I want to show you love
You really gotta know that
That i'm a fool in love
(fool in love)
[Chorus x2]

7. ALL OF MY LIFE
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh whoa whoa
Whoa, whoa, ooh
Yeah, yeah
All of my life
Can somebody tell me why
These chicks keep falling for the same guy
It's been going on for a while now
I'm feeling so much more
I'm trying really hard
But I can't stop from crying
What do I do
I'm falling in love
If I'm not I'd be lying
Why am I hanging on
To such a memory
Too strong that I can't let go even though I'm trying
With the happiness
You're telling me when we will ever be what we used to be again
All of my life
I've waited for someone like you
I feel it when I look at you
In your eyes I see the truth
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I'm missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do
All of my life
I'll give you everything you'll ever need
Always be a part of me
You're the reason that I breathe
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I keep missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do
Now tell me what am I gonna do
Can't escape right 'cause I think of you
I close my eyes, I see your face, makes me alone
Just make me wanna take a breath and take it
It's a rush
Flashbacks dreaming about the both of us
Do I really wanna wake up
Oh no 'cause when I do you're not with me
That's when reality hits me
I get weak in the knees, can't function me
No, can't breathe
My friends see changes in me
Always be dremaing if once be
If still today be a part of a heart, always will be
Your beautiful soul and smile is all I need
All of my life
I've waited for someone like you
I feel it when I look at you
In your eyes I see the truth
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I'm missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do
All of my life
I'll give you everything you'll ever need
Always be a part of me
You're the reason that I breathe
All of my life
I've spent day and day just loving you
And when you're away, I keep missing you
Now tell me what am I gonna do
My mind has been so tired
I have no words to say (no words to say)
I'm feelin' so frustrated
I wish I could walk away (I should walk away)
So now what am I supposed to do
Without you here with me
I'm going in and out
I'm feelin up and down
So baby hear when I say
All of my life

8. EMPTINESS
[Songwriters: Nathan Perez;Natalie Nicole Alvarado;Ronald Bryant]
This emptiness that I feel that really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby
It's hard to believe, you're not here with me
Where will I go, where will I be
Less without you, you were my dreams
Better move on, as hard as it seems
I try to tell myself forget the past
I think that I'm losing my mind 'cause you ain't coming back
I gotta play it right, keep it cool, keep control
I'm tryin' all this time to let you go
I miss you and I want you
I really gotta have you, one more time
Boy I love you and I need you
I really gotta have you, one more time
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby
I miss you and I want you
I really gotta have you, one more time
The harder I try, the deeper I sink
But love has me blind, I can't even think
It's only a while, then it will leave
And then I'll move on, this really ain't me
Whatever am I gonna do
You got me stressin' over losin' you
I gotta keep it right, keep it cool, keep control
Tryin' all the time to let you go
Boy I love you and I need you
I really gotta have you, one more time
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, gotta make it work baby
This emptiness in the way you makin' me feel
Is it real, do I wanna continue lovin' you still
Here's the deal, do I hang on to something that's been killed
Or move on and stay strong and continue to walk uphill
But I will always own memories in my mind
But until, it's gonna take all of me all of the time to unwind
Forget about what we had and realize
I was blind before but now you're gonna be fine
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, you gotta make it work baby
This emptiness that I feel is gonna be here a while
Feeling kinda strange, now that your away baby
This emptiness that I feel, it really just ain't my style
Even though it hurts, you gotta make it work baby

I got your message today
I was happy to hear your voice
Automatically saved
When it comes to you, I had no choice
I must act like I don't wanna call you back
I stayed up last night, waiting for the phone to flash
What would it be like if I don't call so fast
Let a few hours past, see if my patience coud last
Everytime you call me up I'm playing hard to get
I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Now it ain't my style to have you guess how I feel about you
I'm always thinking about you, I'm always talking about you
Don't wanna let you know I have the words
I end up all jittery
And all the words I can't control what you do to me
All it takes is one little thing
I hear a ring, I see your name
Everytime you call me up I'm playing hard to get
I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Here's how I'm gonna tell you
I'm gonna call you up tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Be up-tight and honest with you
If I'ma do it tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
No more holding back or acting shy
I'm gonna call you up tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Iet you know you're the one i like
If I'ma do it tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
