When I first met you
You told me exactly how it would it
You had a lady
And couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it
So I said boo you can keep her
Long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by
I, I started feeling strange
Something was deep in my heart
Something I can't explain
I think I'm fallin in love with you boo
I'm needing you so much
I'm cryin just to feel your touch
I gotta leave you
I didn't wanna a man
I didn't wanna fall in love and
I didn't care about your girl
I didn't care how we would end up
But that was then this is now
I think I'm experiencing love
I don't wanna wreck up your heart
That's I'm convinced
I gotta go
When I First met you
You told me exactly how it would it
You had a lady
And couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it
So I said boo you can keep her
Long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by
I, I started feeling strange
Something was deep in my heart
Something I can't explain
I think I'm falling in love with you boo
I'm needin you so much
I'm cryin just to feel your touch
I gotta leave you
Every time she calls you expect
Me to dissapear like we never met
At first I didn't mind
But now I sometimes feel like your all mine
You told me it was all about me, me, me
It's not about me if your still with her
Now I realized that I gotta move on
It might be hard but, I
I gotta move on
When I First met you
You told me exactly how it would it
You had a lady
And couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it
So I said boo you can keep her
Long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by
I, I started feeling strange
Something was deep in my heart
Something I can't explain
I think I'm fallin in love with you boo
I'm needin you so much
I'm cryin just to feel your touch
I gotta leave you
I gotta leave you
(I gotta leave you)
I gotta leave you
(I gotta leave you)
Said I gotta, gotta leave ou
(I gotta leave you)
Gotta leave...
