The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was so wrapped up in
All of the finer things
That I never took the time to show you
What you meant to me
Money, cars, and ice
Blingin' off the clothes
I thought that I was hot
Until you turned cold
How could my success?
Go and deceive me
If I could turn it all back
Then all of this would be a dream to me
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, hmm
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, baby
If you saw me in church on Sundays
You could tell
I've learn my lesson well
Never said a prayer
(Oh like this)
Never shed a tear
(Until it was you I missed)
Never fell in love
Like a bottomless pit
I was so, so tough
Till you were up and outta here
My pride had me thinking
That being with me
You were blessed
Funny how you could ask for so little
And receive less
All of the fussing and fighting
Cause I was always gone
And even though I gave you a lame excuse
You still hung on
Oh I don't blame you for leaving me
But if I could turn it all back
This would be a dream to me
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, baby, baby
If you could see me in church on Sundays
You would say I've learned my lesson well
Never said a prayer
(Never said a prayer like this no, no)
Never shed a tear
(Until it was you I missed)
Never fell in love
Like a bottomless pit
I was so, so tough
Till you were up and outta here
Never said a prayer
(Said a prayer like this baby)
Never shed a tear
(Until it was you I missed)
Never fell in love
Like a bottomless pit
I was so, so tough
Till you were up and outta here
Never said a prayer
(Said I never said a prayer like this no, no)
Never shed a tear
(To tough to shed a tear ooh baby)
Never fell in love
(They could take all my positions hey)
Never said a prayer
(Because love taught me a lesson baby, oh, oh)
Never shed a tear
(See I've got to have you back)
Never fell in love
(See I've got to have you back)
(See I've got to have you back)
Never said a prayer
(See I've got to have you back)
(See I've got to have you back)
Never shed a tear
(Got to have you, got to have you)
(Got to have you, got to have you)
Never fell in love
(Got to have you, got to have you)
(Got to have you, got to have you)
(Got to have you, hey oh)
Never said a prayer
Never shed a tear
Never fell in love...
