[00:01.710] (feat. Common)
[00:03.440] Bring it over here and let's go back
[00:05.890] Way back
[00:10.020] Ooh...
[00:11.190] Way back, yeah
[00:17.000] I met him when I was a
[00:19.360] Little girl, he gave me
[00:22.530] He gave me poetry
[00:25.270] And he was my first
[00:27.970] But in my heart I knew I
[00:30.440] Wasn't the only one
[00:33.380] 'Cause when the tables turned
[00:36.320] He had to break up
[00:38.660] Whenever I got lonely
[00:41.050] Or needed some advice
[00:43.880] He gave me his shoulder
[00:46.550] His words were very nice
[00:49.600] But that is all behind me
[00:52.100] 'Cause now there is no other
[00:54.790] My love is his and his is mine
[00:57.510] A friend became the
[00:59.560] Love of my life
[01:01.410] You are my friend
[01:04.690] Love of my life
[01:06.710] I can depend
[01:10.050] Love of my life
[01:12.000] Without you, baby
[01:15.830] It feels like a simple true love
[01:23.280] A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
[01:24.710] To the beat y'all and ya don't stop
[01:27.420] A freak-freak
[01:28.790] Or could it be that it was
[01:30.950] All just so simple then
[01:33.700] A teenage lover who said
[01:36.380] He's just a friend
[01:38.860] He moved around and we kept
[01:41.900] In touch through his friend Mike
[01:44.470] The world was young and he knew
[01:47.270] We couldn't rush but
[01:49.710] Whenever I got lonely
[01:52.160] Or needed some advice
[01:54.920] He gave me his shoulder
[01:57.660] His words were very nice
[02:00.250] But that is all behind me
[02:03.190] 'Cause now there is no other
[02:05.800] My love is his and his is mine
[02:08.860] A friend became the
[02:10.580] Love of my life
[02:12.400] You are my friend
[02:15.870] Love of my life

[02:23.220] Feels like a simple true love, yeah
[02:34.180] Y'all know how I met her
[02:36.180] We broke up and got back together
[02:37.400] To get her back I had to sweat her
[02:39.260] Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
[02:41.940] Them boys may be better, to I had to let her (Never)
[02:44.730] She needed cheddar and I understood that
[02:47.220] Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (Rat)
[02:50.010] In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
[02:52.320] I love it when she sings to me
