Erykah Badu - Love Of My Life Lyrics






Bring it over here and let's go back
Way back
Ooh...
Way back, yeah

I met him when I was a
Little girl, he gave me
He gave me poetry
And he was my first

But in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
'Cause when the tables turned
He had to break up

Whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice

But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became the

Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like a simple true love

Hope this s*** ain't clear

A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop
To the beat y'all and ya don't stop
A freak-freak

Or could it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teenage lover who said
He's just a friend

He moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and he knew
We couldn't rush but

Whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice

But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became the

Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah
Love of my life
Feels like a simple true love, yeah

Hope this s*** ain't clear

Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
Them boys may be better, to I had to let her (Never)
She needed cheddar and I understood that
Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (Rat)
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
It's like that now

Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You be boy and I'll be girl and
Love of my life
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh...

Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You be boy and I'll be girl and
Love of my life
Yeah...

    First thing first your name 😆is Erica ok. So stop the BS. Talk about the real thing. And your hate & jealousy of Zoe Saldana 😀🤣 because she has a voice/vocal chords and she's original unique. And beautiful that's what makes Erica's hate. Women should support women but Erica mad shes a dude. Zoe Saldana is better honey. Jennifer Hudson Alicia keys are far better than beonce JZ. We need strong independent mentally healthy black women. We can't let these weak azz mthrfkr in. They don't represent us. Erica Wright stop hiding & come on out.

    White people...please stop lying about your genuine "connection" to black music. You listen to black music and scurry to buy up all the concert tickets as soon as tour dates are released because listening to black created music is your way of trying to connect with the black experience. It is about being cool and trendy for you and an expression of pain for us that you all will NEVER have a connection too just because your ipod is full of black artists you "jam" too. Get a grip.

  60. J.... C....

    Loml 😭😍

  61. M.... J....

    (on the other hand),

    from the lyrics that are not erased, scratched, exchanged or entirely re written i feel she is telling a story of trial and tribulation, yet her eyes are old enough to tell you she isn't all that the record label is selling her to be.

    artists don't own themselves
    the rich jewish money backing them does.

    she is old enough in spirit that everytime her eyes turn to you from the screen, you feel as though she is sangin to you.

    from that slow moody blue sound that follows those vibrant or warm coloration features about the screen and fully in other frames, it's calming effect cradles you keeping your muscles relaxed, your gaurd down so that when the true intent of the video has came and gone, you wouldn't even knew you received it; an influence.

    she is never in the room with people as we see it. she is with something beyond us watching her this side the screen even.

    the powers above are, that which, are directed at the skies and beyond the power, money and reach of those controlling jews.

    she is asking the sky for help
    remember the school bus and that license that plate?

    it was at the very End...

    FUTURE

  62. M.... J....

    (hand one)

    so, was common sayin he didn't mind that his girl was a prostitute? that, in fact, he understood that?

    why are we allowing these allbut subliminal messeges to be snuck into our daily lives?

    if it weren't from the jews forcing rappers to sell raunchy shit to its listening community, eric garnier might still be alive. mike brown might still be alive...

    NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG..

    this is a sexy video, but pay attention to what you are listening to.

    sex sales and always will, but metaphorically speaking, what are you trading if not money?

    what are you trading, if not, paying attention?

    who "you" are.

    sixty years ago we were all along the watchtower having the same dream and now we are sleep walking and can not effect anything because they whisper

    "shh, it's ok, baby... go back to sleep" selling us ersatz

    so we'll float along in a state similar to how sleep, our dreams keep.

  63. W.... d....

    Just loving her.. You so worth the word!

  64. D.... L....

    Sunday evening soulful classic

  65. L.... S....

    I would be always faithful but I love driving dump truck just the sand box Tonka in me. I can't shake it. But i could deal with her being gone cause she seems like the type of women that would love until theres no more love thats left to help you understand that's she just warned you !!!!!

  66. D.... S....
