*Neptunes*

This is for my number one

This is for my number one

This is for my number one

True love for I adore



*LL Cool J*

This is hard to say

I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way

Cause lately I've been busy a lot

And I know you dont feel appreciated, and what not

I used to tell you that your hair looked fly

Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes

Now I talk real fowl and slick

Every other sentence is "You make me sick"

Back in the days I was your number one pick

Now your heart is half broken and that's hard to fix

I had to dig deep inside myself

Cause I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else

It's a long journey to the place we was

When I was too embarrased to admit I was in love

You was my good girl

I wouldn't give it up

And I can't let us self-destruct

Huh uh...



*Hook*

Baby smile today

Cuz I been on that journey always

I'm gon' love you better

When your friends'll see you too

Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do

I'm gon' love you better



[Verse 2]

When I think about the things we did

And I think about you having my kids

And I think about us sharing a crib

Losin' all that, God forbid

You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things

In addition to the SL's, bigets and rings

Instead I walk around like I'm a king

And having you ain't nothing but a thing

I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good

Too busy frontin' in the hood

Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go

I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow

One more chance baby and don't say no

Cuz I got another side to show

Some say love is painful it helps you grow

Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know



[Hook]



[Bridge x2]

Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)

Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)

So let's laugh together, cry together

God willin' we gon' die together



[Verse 3]

It's a brand new me, a brand new you

A brand new day, sky so blue

Hold my hand while I walk with you

Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you

No more games callin' you foul names

Actin' like females is all the same

I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed

From this day forward I'll never be the same

I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams

I love you, lemme show you what I mean

Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen

Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene

A toast to the queen, you're back in my life

But this time I'ma do it right

Trust me, from the bottom of my heart

Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise
