All You Had To Say
Blu Cantrell · Other Songs - Blu Cantrell
All you had to say was that you want me
All you had to say was that you cared
All you had to say was that you love me
Instead you were never really there
You came into my life when I was with somebody else
I opened up my heart to you and told you how I felt
I never looked at you as nothing more than just a friend
But your sweet words, your sweet kiss
Baby, I let you right in
B-Sect
Damn, you was good
Damn, you was tight
I wish I knew you were no good
That you were just a liar
Chorus
Just the sound of your voice makes me realize
How much I don't need you in my life
Don't you call me on the phone 'cause you're just wasting time
And as a matter of fact
I swear you don't even cross my mind
B-Sect
Chorus
Say goodbye to the best thing that you ever had
Say goodnight to the dreams of us getting back
No more wishing on a star for you and me
'Cause in my heart you and me will never be
Instrumental (8 measures)
Chorus out
