Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop) [From Brown Sugar] Lyrics
Right here what we gon' do is go back
Way back
Ooh
Way back, yeah
I met him when I was a
A little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry
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, 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
A friend became the
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like I sampled true love (yeah)
But the shit ain't clear
A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
A to the beat y'all and ya don't stop
A freak-freak
Or could it be that it was
All just so simple 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
A friend became the
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
On you I can depend, yeah, yeah
Love of my life
Without you, baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah
But the shit ain't clear
Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
Them boys made her better, to grow I had to let her (let her)
She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)
Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hoodrat (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 a
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You be boy and I'll be girl and
Love of my life
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You be boy and I'll be girl and
Love of my life
Yeah
Homeboys make some noise, get into it
Way back
Ooh
Way back, yeah
A little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry
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, but
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder

But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became the
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
