MARY J. BLIGE lyrics : "I Used To Love Him"

(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)
