I Used To Love Him
(Chorus) Now I don't I used to love him Now I don't Now I don't Lauryn: As I look at what I've done The type of life that I've lived How many things I pray the father will forgive One situation involved a young man He was the ocean and I was the sand He stole my heart like a thief in the night Dulled my senses and blurred my sight And I used to love him (Chorus) Mary: I chose the road of passion and pain Sacrificed too much and waited in vain Gave up my power Ceased being queen Addicted to love like the drug of, drug of a fiend Lauryn: See torn and confused, wasted and used SongtexteMary: Reached the crossroad which path would I choose Lauryn: Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated Mary: For something to happen that just wasn't fated Lauryn: Thought what I wanted was something I needed Mary: When mama said no then I just should have heeded Lauryn: Misled I bled till the poison was gone Mary: And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn (Chorus) Lauryn: Father you saved me and you showed me that life Was much more than being some foolish man's wife Mary: Showed me that love was respect and devotion Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean Lauryn: See my soul was weary but now it's replenished Mary: Content because that part of my life is finished Lauryn: I see him sometimes and the look in his eye Mary: Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold Lauryn: But my heart is gold see I took back my soul Mary: And totally let my creator control Lauryn: The life which was his to begin with (Chorus and adlibs until fade) Aus Songtexte Mania
