*Neptunes*
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
True love for I adore
*LL Cool J*
This is hard to say
I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way
Cause lately I've been busy a lot
And I know you dont feel appreciated, and what not
I used to tell you that your hair looked fly
Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes
Now I talk real fowl and slick
Every other sentence is "You make me sick"
Back in the days I was your number one pick
Now your heart is half broken and that's hard to fix
I had to dig deep inside myself
Cause I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else
It's a long journey to the place we was
When I was too embarrased to admit I was in love
You was my good girl
I wouldn't give it up
And I can't let us self-destruct
Huh uh...
*Hook*
Baby smile today
Cuz I been on that journey always
I'm gon' love you better
When your friends'll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon' love you better
[Verse 2]
When I think about the things we did
And I think about you having my kids
And I think about us sharing a crib
Losin' all that, God forbid
You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things
In addition to the SL's, bigets and rings
Instead I walk around like I'm a king
And having you ain't nothing but a thing
I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good
Too busy frontin' in the hood
Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go
I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow
One more chance baby and don't say no
Cuz I got another side to show
Some say love is painful it helps you grow
Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know
[Hook]
[Bridge x2]
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together
[Verse 3]
It's a brand new me, a brand new you
A brand new day, sky so blue
Hold my hand while I walk with you
Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you
No more games callin' you foul names
Actin' like females is all the same
I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed
From this day forward I'll never be the same
I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams
I love you, lemme show you what I mean
Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen
Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene
A toast to the queen, you're back in my life
But this time I'ma do it right
Trust me, from the bottom of my heart
Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise
[Hook x2]
