She used to tell me that she loved me all the time
I'd turn to her and say that, I'm, Infatuated by your lovely smile
And someday soon we're gonna walk the isle
She'd say, "You're my everything, my strength for life"
Be the mother of your children as well as your wife
She used to tell me all the time, I'm her one and only
But she ran with another man and left me lonely
Coincidental, how I met her, but when I've seen her, I knew that I'd get her
Can't let her step, she looked too good
But my wears made me seem like a stone-cold hood (hood)
I'm a lucky guy, so I press my luck, I step to her, ah-what the-
Went her way, took a few steps past her, got the nerve, and then I asked her (ask her)
I said, "Yo, baby," and she started to reach, I said, "Wow, don't get excited, that's a figure of speech"
She told me her name, gave her number and all, and when I stepped, she said I better call (call)

But she ran with another man and left me lonely (lonely)
Girl, why'd you have to leave me that way? I love you to this day
And it hurts to think of the words you used to say (say)
Girl, why'd you have to leave for so long? I never did you wrong (wrong)
And it seems we had such a love that was so strong (strong)
On the day she broke out, would you believe I cried? And it hurts so much to think of how she lied
I shared everything to the very last penny, somethin' that you really can't do with many
Since this young lady was such a big winner, I'd treat her all the time to a candlelight dinner
Have a violinist play a real sweet song, and she never showed a sign that somethin' was wrong
My boy used to say, "Man, Shan, I'd quit her, but she seemed so happy every time I'm with her"
We used to hold hands and walk in the rain, and on the days I felt down, she eased my pain
This was just too far-fetched to believe, to think that my girl would just up and leave
Imagine that, I just couldn't, 'cause I knew deep down in my heart she wouldn't
