(hook)
i used to love you, i used to need you
i used to want you, oh that feeling's gone
oh that feeling's gone
started in my leg and went straight to my head
somehow i got the urge to start walkin'
and ended up in betty's bed
next thing you know it's in my hip
tellin' me it's time to dip
next thing you know i'm runnin' from the poor girl
she callin' me a fugitive
(hook)
i used to love you
i used to need you
i used to want you, oh that feeling's gone
oh that feeling's gone ------
i can't peek outside
without seeing yo eyes
a sniper got them hairs on me
say she gonna shoot on sight
doctor didn't prescribe
what's makin' that girl fly
i know anybody trying to cut my throat
she can't be a friend of mine
anybody on the roof
acting john wilkes booth
she can't be nobody think bout yo life
she done lost her mind
(hook)
i used to love
i used to need you
i used to want you, oh that feeling's gone
oh that feeling's gone

wake and bake with a hot cup of coffee
trying to shake these hank's up off me, again
lil' mama's in the kitchen cookin' it up
i'm in a back room trying to think up, a way to win
thinkin' about some time in the future
but right now she couldn't look cuter
she's in a family way
we're makin' our way thru the transitions
man, i got to stay on my mission
and bring home some pay
(hook)
lil' mama's in the kitchen cookin' breakfast
i'm feelin' good today -------
she believes in me so what can i do
made a promise that i'd come thru
with everything she needs
i know times are hard so i got to work harder
nobody gets the life that they ordered
i keep chasing my dreams
it's so easy when you believe in each other
she's more than a friend more than a lover
she's more than everything
we're just making our way thru the transitions
with love on our minds and our minds on a mission
to stay this way
(hook)
lil' mama's in the kitchen cookin' breakfast
i'm feelin good today ------
(bridge)
i know it's gonna be hard on us
we can't give up cause got that
she cookin' breakfast and i'm optimistic
i'm feelin' good today
matter fact i'm feelin' quite terrific!
(hook)
lil' mama's in the kitchen cookin' breakfast
i'm feelin good today ------

l.a. givin' me the blues again
i ain't leavin' i ain't never comin' back again
he was a friend of many
back in new york city
young hustler
he was down in l.a.
hangin' deuces and treys
under cover
spendin' some time
up on sunset and vine
drinkin' sake' all night
then the sky turned all white
i saw snow in the summer time
(hook)
l.a. givin' me the blues again
i ain't leavin'
i ain't never comin' back again
sho nuff ready for fun
rollin' black chicks and blondes
in his mercedes
rented house on the hill
somebody rolled up a bill
and things got crazy
three on a vine could be fine
when you're out on vacation
can't be wrong
then the sky turned all white
i saw snow in the summer time
(hook)
l.a. givin me the blues again
i ain't leavin' i ain't never comin' back again
