Love of My Life
Badu Erykah Lyrics

Right here what we gon' do is go back
Let's travel back in time

Way back
To a long time ago

Way back, yeah
Yeah, a very long time ago

I met him when I was a
I first met him when I was just a little girl

Little girl, he gave me
He gave me poetry as a young girl

He gave me poetry
He was the first to give me poetry

And he was my first
He was my first love

But in my heart I knew I
But I always felt in my heart that

Wasn't the only one
I wasn't his only love

Cause when the tables turned
Because when the roles reversed

He had to break up
He had to break things off with me

Whenever I got lonely
Every time I felt lonely

Or needed some advice
Or needed someone to talk to

He gave me his shoulder
He was there to comfort me

His words were very nice
He always said the right things

But that is all behind me
But that's all in the past now

Cause now there is no other
Because now he's the only one for me

My love is his and his is mine
We are in love with each other

A friend became the
He started as my friend and then became

Love of my life
The love of my life

You are my friend
You are still my friend

I can depend
And I can always count on you

Without you, baby
Without you, my life would be incomplete

It feels like a simple true love
Our love feels pure and simple

Hope this shit ain't clear
I hope you understand what I mean

A freak-freak ya'll, and ya don't stop
A funky song that doesn't stop

To the beat ya'll and ya don't stop
To the rhythm of the song that never stops

Could it be that it was
Is it possible that it was

All just so simple then
All just that simple back then

A teenage lover who said
A young lover who said

He's just a friend
That he's just a friend

He moved around and we kept
He moved away, but we kept in touch

In touch through his friend Mike
We stayed in touch through Mike, his friend

The world was young and he knew
We were both young and he understood

We couldn't rush but
That we shouldn't rush it, but

Feels like a simple true love, yeah
Our love feels simple and true

Y'all know how I met her
Let me tell you how I met her

We broke up and got back together
We broke up then got back together

To get her back I had to sweat her (sweat her)
I had to work hard to win her back

Thought she roll wit bad boys forever
I thought she would always date bad guys

In many ways them boys made her better
In some ways those guys made her a better person

To grow I had to let her (let her)
But in order for us to grow, I had to let her go

She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)
She needed money and I understood that

Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat (rat)
But looking for money doesn't make her a bad person

In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
In fact, she's like a queen to me, her love shines on me

I love it when she sings to me
I love it when she sings to me

It's like that and a
It's just like that

Ooh you know you rock my world
You know you make my world go round

And you be boy and I'll be girl
You be the boy and I'll be the girl

And we don't stop until the break of dawn
And we won't stop until morning comes

Ooh you know you rock my world
You know you make my world go round

And you be boy and I'll be girl
You be the boy and I'll be the girl

And we don't stop until the break of oohhh
And we won't stop until the morning light
