Blige Mary J I Used To Love Him Lyrics

I Used To Love Him Lyrics

(Chorus)

 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

 

 (Chorus)

 

 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

 

 (Chorus)

 

 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

 

 (Chorus and adlibs until fade)
