rate me

Lauryn: <br />As I look at what I've done <br />The type of polite that I've lived <br />How many things I pray the father will forgive <br />One situation involved a young man <br />He was the ocean and I was the sandHe stole my heart like a thief in the night <br />Dulled my senses blurred my sight <br /> <br />Chorus: <br />I used to love him but now I don't <br />I used to love him but now I don't <br /> <br />Mary: <br />I chose a road of passion and pain <br />Sacrificed too much and waited in vain <br />Gave up my power ceased being queen <br />Addicted to love like the drugs of a fiend <br /> <br />Lauryn & mary: <br />Torn and confused wasted and used <br />Reached the crossroad which path would I choose <br />Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated <br />For something to happen that just wasn't fated <br />Though what I wanted was something I needed <br />When momma said no I just should have heeded <br />Misled I bled till the poison was gone <br />And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn <br /> <br />Chorus: <br />I used to love him but now I don't <br />I used to love him but now I don't <br /> <br />Lauryn & mary: <br />Father you saved me and showed me that life <br />Was much more than being some foolish man's wife <br />Showed me that love was respect and devotion <br />Greater than planets deeper than oceans <br />My soul was weary but now it's replenished <br />Content because that part of my life is finished <br /> <br />I see him sometimes and the look in his eye <br />Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold <br />But my heart is gold I took back my soul <br />And totally let my creator control <br />The life which was his to begin with <br /> <br />I used to love him but now I don't <br /><repeat to end><br /><br />
