Right here what we gonna do is go back. Way back, ohh way back, yeah.

1st Verse:
I met him when I was a,
a little girl he gave,
he gave me poetry.
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. 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.......

Chorus:
(Love of my life)
You are my friend,
(Love of my life)

2nd Verse:
Oh, could it be that is was all just so simple then
A teenage lover to say
He's just a friend.
He moved around and we kept,
in touch through his friend Mic*,
The world was young and we 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

Chorus:
(Love of my life)
You are my friend,

Common:
Ya'll know how I met her.
We broke up got back together.
To get her back, I had to sweat her.
Thought she'd roll with bad boys forever, in many ways,
Them boys made her better to grow;
I had to let her.
She needed chedda 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....

Erykah Badu(bridge)
You, you know you rock my world and,
You be boy and, I'll be girl and,
It don't stop until the break of dawn.

(repeat and center-crossfade with:
And it don't stop, cuz it won't quit, and it can't wait)
