Mary J. Blige - The Love I Never Had lyrics

rate me

You know sometimes<br />

There come a time in your life when<br />

You love something, you have to let it go<br />

And even though you might feel there's still something there<br />

You have to wake up, stop livin' in a dream<br />

'Cause it's over now, you got to think about you<br />

<br />

I have always wondered, why?<br />

Why I can't live without you babe and I'm longing to be your lady<br />

I understand that you are leaving<br />

Please don't leave here without me baby<br />

'Cause I think I might go insane<br />

<br />

'Cause everybody needs someone to love<br />

And I know that it's true, and I know that it's you<br />

I don't understand, why you can't be my man<br />

So I better wake up, stop living in a dream<br />

Yes, I better wake up 'cause I can't lose the love I never had<br />

So I better wake up, as painful as it seems<br />

Yes I better wake up, I can not lose the love I never had<br />

<br />

Every time I close my eyes I see visions of you and I<br />

Sharing love of a special kind, oh<br />

I got to laugh to keep from crying, yeah<br />

To hide all the pain inside<br />

'Cause I can't get you off my mind<br />

<br />

'Cause everybody needs someone to love<br />

And I know that it's true, and I know that it's you<br />

I don't understand, why you can't be my man<br />

So I better wake up, stop living in a dream<br />

Yes, I better wake up 'cause I can't lose the love I never had<br />

So I better wake up, as painful as it seems<br />

Yes I better wake up, I can not lose the love I never had<br />

<br />

Oh, it made me realize I don't want to live apart<br />

But you don't know how hard I tried<br />

What do I have to lose? Oh I think a little bit more than you<br />

And I doubt that you will see things clearly before it's too late<br />

<br />

'Cause everybody needs someone to love<br />

And I know that it's true, and I know that it's you<br />

I don't understand, why you can't be my man, my man<br />

So I better wake up, stop living in a dream<br />

Yes, I better wake up 'cause I can't lose the love I never had<br />

So I better wake up, as painful as it seems<br />

Yes I better wake up, I can not lose the love I never had<br />

<br />

Never had, never had, I never had, never had<br />

Break it down, break it down<br />

<br />

Ohh<br />

All the times I've cried it made me realize that I was holding on to a lie<br />

But you don't know how hard I tried<br />

To make sure you were satisfied yeah<br />

'Cause I thought you were only mine<br />

And I doubt you will see things clearly before it's<br />

Too late, Too late, too late<br />

<br />

I don't understand why you can't be my man<br />

Oh everybody needs somebody to love<br />

Everybody needs somebody yeah<br />

Oh, do do do<br />

Baby, baby, baby I can't live with you<br />

And I doubt you will see things clearly<br />

Before it's too late, yeah<br />

Oh you hurt me so, you hurt me so<br />

Love that I, that I, never had<br />

I can't lose, I can't lose<br />

I can not lose, I can not lose<br />

Oh, I can't lose a love I never had<br /><br />
