Bring it over here and let's go back
|
Way back
|
Ooh...
|
Way back, yeah
|
|
I met him when I was a
|
Little girl, he gave me
|
He gave me poetry
|
And he was my first
|
|
But in my heart I knew I
|
Wasn't the only one
|
'Cause when the tables turned
|
He had to break up
|
|
Whenever I got lonely
|
Or needed some advice
|
He gave me his shoulder
|
His words were very nice
|
|
But that is all behind me
|
'Cause now there is no other
|
My love is his and his is mine
|
A friend became the
|
|
Love of my life
|
You are my friend
|
Love of my life
|
I can depend
|
Love of my life
|
Without you, baby
|
It feels like a simple true love
|
|
Hope this shit ain't clear
|
|
A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
|
To the beat y'all and ya don't stop
|
A freak-freak
|
|
Or could it be that it was
|
All just so simple then
|
A teenage lover who said
|
He's just a friend
|
|
He moved around and we kept
|
In touch through his friend Mike
|
The world was young and he knew
|
We couldn't rush but
|
|
Whenever I got lonely
|
Or needed some advice
|
He gave me his shoulder
|
His words were very nice
|
|
But that is all behind me
|
'Cause now there is no other
|
My love is his and his is mine
|
A friend became the
|
|
Love of my life
|
You are my friend
|
Love of my life
|
A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah
|
Love of my life
|
Feels like a simple true love, yeah
|
|
Hope this shit ain't clear
|
|
Y'all know how I met her
|
We broke up and got back together
|
To get her back I had to sweat her
|
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
|
Them boys may be better, to I had to let her (Never)
|
She needed cheddar and I understood that
|
Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (Rat)
|
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
|
I love it when she sings to me
|
It's like that now
|
|
Love of my life
|
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
|
Love of my life
|
You be boy and I'll be girl and
|
Love of my life
|
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh...
|
|
Love of my life
|
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
|
Love of my life
|
You be boy and I'll be girl and
|
Love of my life
|
Yeah...
