Make It Like It Was

That's how people fall in love

First kiss, first touch

Can't we make it like it was?

When we were in love

Can't we make it like it was?

See, the love I have, that I have for you

I can't explain it for you, girl

Because I've been around the world

And I met a lotta other girls

But they're nothing like you

No, no, no, no

See I came at it and I came at it

Now I'm so addicted like a gambling habit

'Cause you was the one here when I ain't happy

Now you say you're leaving me but I ain't having it

We put too much in just to pull out

This thing just too good for me to pull out

Girl, you know pleasure can't stand to see you cry

So I'ma love you or die trying

That's how people fall in love

First kiss, first touch

Can't we make it like it was?

When we were in love

Can't we make it like it was?

See, the love I have, that I have for you

I can't explain it for you, girl

Because I've been around the world

And I met a lotta other girls

But they're nothing like you

No, no, no, no

I reminisce on the way that it was

24-7 you was on my mind

We closer than the pages in my composition book

And when they tried to holla

You point at me and say that you took

Girl, you shine like a brand new dime

The love I have for you is more than all my chicks combined

For real

That's how people fall in love

First kiss, first touch

Can't we make it like it was?

When we were in love

Can't we make it like it was?

See, the love I have, that I have for you

I can't explain it for you, girl

Because I've been around the world

And I met a lotta other girls

But they're nothing like you

No, no, no, no

See pleasure is pain and pain is love

First kiss, first touch, first hug

God had to send you up from above

Two jitterbugs on the back of the bus

Kissing like we grown ups

But we broke up

All of the  pain we went through was on us

A couple months went by then we woke up

Break up to make up, girl, you know us

And yeah, they try

But they'll never be able to do all the things that you do

They ain't got your style, your body, or your smile

They ain't really off the chain like you

Because I showed you how to ride it

And you showed me how you like it

When it's time for that good loving

You read my mind like a psychic

So whenever I'm gone

You worry 'bout your king to return to his throne

That's why our love is so strong

And you ain't ever gotta worry

'Bout me doing wrong

Just long as you come back home

'Cause this where you're 'posed to be

Right here close to me on the side of me

Baby girl, you can ride with me

'Cause with you, that's where I'm tryna be

You know I love you, girl

That's how people fall in love

First kiss, first touch

Can't we make it like it was?

When we were in love

Can't we make it like it was?

See, the love I have, that I have for you

I can't explain it for you, girl

Because I've been around the world

And I met a lotta other girls

But they're nothing like you

No, no, no, no

You know I love ya

Frozen cup your wrist so I can spoil ya

Hold ya and never ignore ya

Adore ya, when times get hard

I'll do anything for ya

Remember back in the days, Parkway

Catch an early matinee at the Arm and A

Rubbing oil of Olay on your body

Hot tamale

Because you're my shorty

Life passes by when you're busy

Making plans, I'ma be a man

A veteran, a business man, a gentleman

I know you're so sick and tired of my ignorance

I can't breathe, I can't get no sleep

Without you, my life is incomplete

Picnics at the park, eating corn on the cob

Real talk from the start

You got the keys to my heart

That's a promise to God

That's how people fall in love

First kiss, first touch

Can't we make it like it was?

When we were in love

Can't we make it like it was?

See, the love I have, that I have for you

I can't explain it for you, girl

Because I've been around the world

And I met a lotta other girls

But they're nothing like you

No, no, no, no
