I met him when I was a
A little girl, he gave
He gave me poetry, uh
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, 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) on you I can depend, yeah, yeah
(Love of my life) without you, baby, feels like I sampled true love, yeah
(But the shit didn't clear)

Uh, freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
Uh, to the beat y'all and ya don't stop
Uh, freak-freak

Or could it be that it was all just so simple then?
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

(Love of my life) you are my friend
(Love of my life) on you I can depend, yeah, yeah
(Love of my life) without you, baby, feels like I sampled true love, yeah
(But the shit didn'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 grow, I had to let her (never)
She needed chedda' and I understood that (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 and, uh

(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) we don't stop until the break of dawn (yeah)
