Erykah Badu Feat. Common - Love Of My Life lyrics

rate me

Bring it over here and let's go back<br />

Way back, ooh, way back, yeah<br />

I met him when I was a little girl<br />

He gave me he gave me poetry<br />

And he was my first<br />

<br />

But in my heart I knew I wasn't the only one<br />

'Cause when the tables turned he had to break up<br />

Whenever I got lonely or needed some advice<br />

He gave me his shoulder his words were very nice<br />

<br />

But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other<br />

My love is his and his is mine, a friend became the<br />

<br />

Love of my life<br />

You are my friend, love of my life<br />

I can depend, love of my life<br />

Wwithout you, baby it feels like a simple true love<br />

Hope this shit ain't clear<br />

<br />

A freak freak, y'all, and ya don't stop<br />

To the beat y'all and ya don't stop, a freak freak<br />

Or could it be that it was, all just so simple then<br />

A teenage lover who said he's just a friend<br />

<br />

He moved around and we kept in touch through his friend Mike<br />

The world was young and he knew we couldn't rush<br />

But whenever I got lonely or needed some advice<br />

He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice<br />

<br />

But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other<br />

My love is his and his is mine, a friend became the<br />

<br />

Love of my life<br />

You are my friend, love of my life<br />

A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah<br />

Love of my life<br />

Feels like a simple true love, yeah<br />

Hope this shit ain't clear<br />

<br />

Y'all know how I met her<br />

We broke up and got back together<br />

To get her back I had to sweat her<br />

Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways<br />

<br />

Them boys may be better, to I had to let her<br />

(Never)<br />

She needed cheddar and I understood that<br />

Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat<br />

(Rat)<br />

In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me<br />

I love it when she sings to me, it's like that now<br />

<br />

Love of my life<br />

Ooh, you know you rock my world and<br />

Love of my life<br />

You be boy and I'll be girl and<br />

Love of my life<br />

We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh<br />

<br />

Love of my life<br />

Ooh, you know you rock my world and<br />

Love of my life<br />

You be boy and I'll be girl and<br />

Love of my life, yeah
