I Love You
Mary J. Blige Lyrics

All those pretty memories
Despite everything that's happened, I still cherish the good memories we had together.

I know you can hear me now
Even though you're not physically here, I believe that somehow you're listening to me.

For the record I love you, I love you
I want to make it clear on record that I still love you very much.

When I found out that you were leaving me
The moment I realized that you were going to leave me was devastating for me.

I couldn't sleep thinking about
I was so upset and worried that I couldn't even sleep because of how much you meant to me.

All the things that we've been through
We've been through so much together, shared so many experiences and memories.

Now all I want to do is tell you
All I want now is to express all my heartfelt emotions and let you know how much you mean to me.

That I miss you so much
I miss you terribly, and wish you were here with me now.

You know I really really miss you
I can't overemphasize how much I miss you, how much I long for your presence.

Now that I'm on my own
Now that you're not here anymore and I'm alone, I'm forced to face the reality that things have changed.

I know that in time I'll find somebody new
Despite the pain and heartache I'm experiencing now, I believe that eventually I'll meet someone who'll love and appreciate me for who I am.

Who'll treat me better than you
I deserve to be treated with love, respect, and care, and I believe there's someone out there who will treat me better than you did.

So now that I'm all alone without you
Now that you're gone, I have to figure out how to live without you, which is difficult and painful.

But I still love you
Despite everything that's happened, my love for you remains, and it's something I can't just switch off or ignore.

I wish you'd change your ways soon enough
I hope that you'll change your behavior or attitude soon, so that we can try and make things work between us again.

So we can be together
I still have hope that we can be together, that we can find a way back to each other again, and I long for that day to come.

You just don't understand the word love
I feel like you don't really understand what true love is or how to show it, which is why things have been so difficult between us.

But now all we have is memories
Even though things didn't work out between us, all we have left are the memories we made together, and they'll always hold a special place in my heart.
