(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)
