I Used to Love Him |
| Now I don't |
| I used to love him |
| Now I don't |
| Now I don't |
| Lauryn: |
| As I look at what I've done |
| The type of life that I've lived |
| How many things I pray the father will forgive |
| One situation involved a young man |
| He was the ocean and I was the sand |
| He stole my heart like a thief in the night |
| Dulled my senses and blurred my sight |
| And I used to love him |
| Mary: |
| I chose the road of passion and pain |
| Sacrificed too much and waited in vain |
| Gave up my power |
| Ceased being queen |
| Addicted to love like the drug of, drug of a fiend |
| Lauryn: See torn and confused, wasted and used |
| Mary: Reached the crossroad which path would I choose |
| Lauryn: Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated |
| Mary: For something to happen that just wasn't fated |
| Lauryn: Thought what I wanted was something I needed |
| Mary: When mama said no then I just should have heeded |
| Lauryn: Misled I bled till the poison was gone |
| Mary: And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn |
| Lauryn: |
| Father you saved me and you showed me that life |
| Was much more than being some foolish man's wife |
| Mary: |
| Showed me that love was respect and devotion |
| Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean |
| Lauryn: See my soul was weary but now it's replenished |
| Mary: Content because that part of my life is finished |
| Lauryn: I see him sometimes and the look in his eye |
| Mary: Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold |
| Lauryn: But my heart is gold see I took back my soul |
| Mary: And totally let my creator control |
| Lauryn: The life which was his to begin with |
