[LL Cool J](Puffy)

Its gonna be a hot summer baby

(This is the remix)

Know what I'm saying sugar

(Carl Thomas, yeah uncle L)

(Let's go)

When it's love at first sight

It's all right to get caught up in the hype

You got me staring at the ceiling late at night

I got you calling up your girls for insight

That's ai-ight cause I blazed it just right

You got a man so I can't leave marks when I bite

Can't go to your crib and conversate late at night

But I know you think of me when he's holding you tight

Wish I was there baby

[Carl Thomas]

It was love at first sight

I know from the way she looked at me

Her eyes said it all

Long days and nights, we spent

Until she dropped the bomb on me

When she said that she

Was unhappily married with children

1 - And I wish I never met her at all

Even though I love her so

But she got love for me

But she still belongs to someone else

It hurts so bad, for sure

Because she wants to be with me

But she cannot be with me

She chose to stay-hey at home

So they could be a family

For the children

But what about me?

Repeat 1

Maybe in another life

Things could be the way

We both desired

It's a catch-22

(Catch-22)

Even when you win, someone had to lose

Repeat 1

[LL Cool J] (Puffy)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I wanna snatch you from your man

(That's right)

If need be, throw some ice up on your hand

(Come on)

Anybody that's human will understand

(Uh)

No disrespect baby it's God's plan

Your man's cool with me

But I must take what's rightfully mine

Even if it means I gotta cross the line

Even if it means I got to take my time

(Take your time)

And send some chicks at him and disrupt his mind

But whether he true or not

You still hot

(Still hot)

At three in the morning you sit staring at the clock

(Come on)

Making up reasons to ride through my block

(What?)

I wish he'd disappear, I wish that you'd stop

I wish that we could shop with our shorties in the drop

(He-he)

Cruise the clear waters in a wine colored yacht

(I like that)

The sun rays sparkle off your skin, so hot

(Come on)

It gets no better than this, we on top

(Yeah)

[Carl Thomas] (Puffy)

Met her

At all, at all

Even though I love her so

She's got love for me, oh

(Carl Thomas, Emotions)

But she still belongs to someone else

(Bad Boy you know the name)

(Sing the song)

I wish, I wish I never met her at all, oh, oh

(Yeah)

I wouldn't hurt so much inside

Oh she still belongs to someone else

Oh I wouldn't feel this pain

Met her at all

If I never met her at all, at all, at all

Oh yeah, oh yeah

She still belongs to someone else

(Uh yeah, uh yeah)
