[Verse 1]
Right here, what we're gon' do is go back
Way back
Ooh-oh, way back, yeah
[Verse 2]
I met him when I was a
A little girl, he gave me
He gave me poetry
He was my first
[Verse 3]
But in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
'Cause when the tables turned
He had to break, but
[Verse 4]
Whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice
[Verse 5]
But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend become the
[Verse 6]
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
[Verse 7]
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like I sampled true love
But this shit ain't clear
[Verse 8]
A freak-freak, ya'll, and ya don't stop
A to the beat, y'all, and ya don't stop
A freak-freak
[Verse 9]
Or could it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teenage love, but you said
He's just a friend
[Verse 10]
He moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and we knew
We couldn't rush, but
[Verse 11]
Whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice
[Verse 12]
But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend become the
[Verse 13]
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
On you I can depend, yeah, yeah
[Verse 14]
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like I sampled true love
But this shit ain't clear
[Verse 15]
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'd roll with bad boys forever in many ways
[Verse 16]
Them boys made me better, to grow, I had to let her
She needed cheddar and I understood that
Looking 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 and a
[Verse 17]
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You B-boy and I'm B-girl'n
Love of my life
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh
[Verse 18]
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You B-boy and I'm B-girl'n
Love of my life
