I Used To Love Him

|
Lyrics & Music: Lauryn Hill
|
|
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:
|
Now I don't
|
I used to love him
|
Now I don't
|
Now I don't
|
I used to love him
|
Now I don't
|
Now I don't
|
|
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 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
|
|
I used to love him but now I don't
|
