Lyrics Love of My Life - Erykah Badu , Common

Right here what we gonna do is go back
Way back
Ooh...
Way back, yeah
I met him when I was a
A little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry
And 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 up
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
Love of my life
You are my friend (yea)
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like I sampled true love
But the shit didn't clear
A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
To the beat y'all and ya don't stop
A freak-freak
How could it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teen age lover who said
He's just a friend
He moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and he 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
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
On you I can depend, yeah, yeah
Love of my life
Without you, baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah
But the shit didn't clear
Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
Them boys may be better, to grow I had to let her (Never)
She needed cheddar and I understood that
Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat(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 that now(Love of my life)
Do you do you
Rock my world and(love of my life)
You be boy and I'll be girl and(Love of my life)
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh...
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and(Love of my life)
You be boy and I'll be girl and(Love of my life)
Yeah...
