I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh, I wanna give you my (heart)
I wanna give you my (love)
I wanna give you my (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna be together
Together for forever
But I don't think that you can see our love that far.
'Cause when I'm givin' you lovin' I feel you're holdin' back
We can be in the same room and I don't know where you're at
You say you love me love me, but do you love me I don't know-o-o-o-o-o-ow
Oh-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh, I tried to give you my (everything)
I wasn't askin' for much (only one ring)
But we can work it out (no-o-o-o, no-o-o-o, don't go-o-o-o)
Oh, oh, oh
I need you in my life
Don't wanna live a lie
But I don't know if you gon' take
Boy make some sense to me
'Cause when I'm givin' you lovin' I feel you're holdin' back
We can be in the same room and I don't know where you're at
You say you love me love me, but do you love me I don't know-o-o-o-o-o-ow
Oh-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh

Maybe This Decision Was A Mistake
You Probably Don't Care What I Have To Say
But It's Been Heavy On My Mind For Months Now
Guess I'm Trying To Clear Some Mental Space
I Would Love To Talk To You In Person
But I Understand Why That Can't Be
I'll Leave You Alone For Good
I Promise
If You Answer This One Question For Me
[Chorus:]
I Just Wonder
Do You Ever
Think Of Me
Anymore?
Do You?
[Mary J Blige:]
Found It Lying Bare In Front Of My Door (Door)
Pick It Up Before My Man Could See (See)
Not That I Was Trying To Hide It From Him (Him)
Calling Me Just Trying To Keep The Peace
Knew It Was From Before I Opened It
Knew What It Would Say Before I Read
Torn The Letter Up And Threw It All Away
With This Question Burning In My Head
[Chorus]
[Ne Yo:] I Know What We Had Was Dead Ago
[Mary:] Too Many Times I Made You Cry
[Ne Yo:] And I Don't Mean Interrupt Your Life
[Together:] I Just Wonder Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Ohhhh
[Chorus]
Do You? Do You? Do You?

@shantelzee5070
Not me I still sing this version while listening to his solo version
@k.b.5079
Man, I thought this was the real version. This is what I heard on the radio back in 2007. I can’t even find this version anywhere but youtube, and I can barely do that. But this is what I look for when I want to hear this song
