i love you, you know what they say?
we gotta go through love and hell for %#@! to turn up right, you know?

listen

[busta rhymes:]

you'll be forever in my fortune, know i won't forget it
forget your love and how reckless i was, i so regret it
walking around acting like everything is co-pathetic

just to find a ...%#@! till it's so pathetic
should have respected it more when i was posted repping
my ego got in the way when i wasn't post to let it, i said it

i know i acted stupid, never admitted guilt, my pride wouldn't let me do it
and our love was killed by... until i let you prove it
and after all we built i slide like i ain't scared to loose it

i dreamed about your type and prayed for it
yeah, but felt the love you never felt before and got afraid for it
my love was genuine for you i never tried to hurt you

but the type of dude that i was, i knew i ain't deserve you
i leave a final kiss, don't forget about me,
i wanna see you happy, you're better off without me


[chorus:]
these tears i cried, showing me the life

it will not be the last nooah
cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
it never seems to pass me by

so i thank you, said i thank you,
yes i thank you, for making me a woman


[estelle:]
sometimes i wonder, do you
even recognize the woman that's standing in front of you

listen, sometimes i wonder,
do you even care or realize why i took care of you
cause you're my heart, you are my soul

you are my other half without you i cannot be whole baby
so far apart, i just don't know
what drove us apart in the first place

now i know why,

[chorus:]

these tears i cried, showing me the life
it will not be the last, noaah
cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide

it never seems to pass me by
so i thank you, said i thank you,
yes i thank you, for making me a woman


[estelle:]
sometimes i wonder, could she be

more of a woman to you than you are a man to me
listen sometime i wonder, why me
i'm here miserable while you're out living your fantasies

and didn't care.
cause you're my heart, you are my soul
you are my other half without you i cannot be whole baby

so far apart, i just don't know
what drove us apart in the first place
now i know baby, why.


[chorus:]
these tears i cried, showing me the life

it will not be the last nooah
cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
it never seems to pass me by

so i thank you, said i thank you,
yes i thank you, for making me a woman


[estelle:]
one thing i learned in life is
we all gotta be ready to sacrifice to survive

i hope she's happy
you're the chapter that i'll be closing
hope you're happy

cause once my door closes it won't be open

[chorus:]
these tears i cried, showing me the life
it will not be the last nooah

cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
it never seems to pass me by
so i thank you, said i thank you,
yes i thank you, for making me a woman
