Once the love was strong
Now it’s long, long gone
’cause the pain, pain now as a storm
I remained, holding on
’cause I want you, ’cause I want you
I want you, I want you

I’ve been thinking bout, I’ve been thinking about
I’ve been thinking bout you lately
Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted to your love, feel I need another dose
I know it’s a feeling that should be long gone
Things seem to come up when I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seemed so long
Since I heard your voice, where did the king go wrong?
Emotions that, that they linger on
I guess ’cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls I need your warm
The taste of your mouth girl I need your warm
Good food and love I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer so I’m a keep dreaming on
It’s kind of like ‘The Breakup’ with Jen and Vince Vaughn

Once the love was strong
Now it’s long, long gone
’cause the pain, pain now as a storm
I remained, holding on
’cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you
’cause I want you, cause I want you
I want you, I want you

They say you don’t know, know, know what you got
Till what you got is gone
Yeah I write such and such, you’re a lot but the feelings not as strong
We were like 2 birds that were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Some days I would try but wasn’t able to cry
I never been good at saying goodbye
I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over you, my God
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it’s only right that I got my heart robbed
The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it reminds me of you
Take a look at the moon it reminds me of you
Hope the stars and the gods align me and you

We do what we do and we do what we live
I love this way cause I got it as a kid
With so much to give from it, I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smeared
My friends say it was a change for the better
But I say, girl you changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun we can sing this together

’cause I want you, ’cause I want you
I want you, I want you
’cause I want you, ’cause I want you
I want you, I want you
