My Love
D.J. Mash Up Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh,
Baby
What'cha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love

I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart

That was so long ago that I thought
We could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you want to come back

[Chorus]
What'cha gonna do without my love
(My love)
My love
What'cha gonna do without my love
(What'cha gonna do, what'cha gonna do, baby)
What'cha gonna do without my love
(My love)
My love
What'cha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you

Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seemed so right
I was loving you, kissing you,
Holding you tight
I wish you know that a woman
That you learn to leave today
And it's a shame that you want to come back now baby
My love has gone away

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I played the fool for you baby
And you stole away my heart
(What'cha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
(What'cha gonna do)
Sweet memories of yesterday
(What'cha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away

[Chorus: x3]
