Erykah Badu - Love Of My Life

ft. Common

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 (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...
