Verse 1:
(Erykah)
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 out
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
Chorus:

Love of my life
You are my friend

Ah, freak, freak y'all
An' ya don't stop

(Erykah)
Or could it be that it was
Oh, jus' so simple and
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

Verse 3:
(Common)
Ya'll know how I met her
We broke up and 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 her better
To grow, I had to let her
She needed chedda an' I understood that
Lookin' 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
Chorus:
(Erykah)
Love of my life
Ooh, boy, don't you rock my world an'
Love of my life
You be boy an' I'll be girl an'
Love of my life
Please don't stop until the break of
Dawn
Love of my life
Ooh, boo, don't you rock my world an'
Love of my life
You be boy an' I'll be girl an'
Love of my life
Please don't stop until the break of
Dawn
