love of my life

Singer:badu, erykah

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 s*** 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 s*** 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

she needed cheddar and i understood that

lookin' for cheese

that don't make her a hood 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.
