Love Of My Life (an Ode To Hip Hop) Lyrics - Erykah Badu

Bring it over here and let's go back 

Way back 

Ooh... 

Way back, yeah 

I met him when I was a 

Little girl, he gave me 

He gave me poetry 

And 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 up 

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 a simple true love 

Hope this shit ain't clear 

A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop 

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 lover who said 

He's just a friend 

He moved around and we kept 

In touch through his friend Mike 

The world was young and he 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 

A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah 

Love of my life 

Feels like a simple true love, yeah 

Hope this 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 may be better, to I had to let her (Never) 

She needed cheddar and I understood that 

Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (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 now 

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...
