Erykah Badu Love Of My Life Lyrics

Right here, what we gonna do is go back
Way, way, way back

I met him when I was a little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry and he was my first
But in my heart I knew I wasn't the only one
'Cause when the tables turned he had to break up
Whenever I got lonely, I needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine, my friend became my

Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like a simple true love, yeah

A freak, freak ya'll, and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
A freak, freak

Oh, could it be that it was all just simple so then?
A teenage love but you said, "He's just a friend"
He moved around and we kept in touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and we knew we couldn't rush, but
Whenever I got lonely or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
But that is all behind me 'cause now there is no other My love is his and his is mine, my friend became my

Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, the one I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like a simple true love, yeah

Y'all know how I met her
We broke up, got back together
To get her back, I had to sweat her
Thought she rolled with bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made it better to grow I had to let her
She needed cheddar and I understood that
Looking for cheese that don't make her a hood rat
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me, it's like that and uh

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I be girl
Love of my life, it don't stop until the break of dawn

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I be girl
Love of my life, it don't stop until the break of dawn

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life, you be boy and I
