Never Been
Mary J. Blige · Dance For Me [2002]
ive never been touched like this - ive never been
ive never been kissed like this - ive never been
i never knew i felt like this - i never knew
i never knew a love like this
pardon me - excuse me - forgive me - i cant help it
but i see - the energy - between you and me - and im selfish
dont want no - other girls - calling you - never ever
cause i want - us to stay - together - forever
CHORUS....
believe me - when i say - there is no one - i mean none
that can do - the things you do - the things you did - and get done
and i believe - that i can feel - this way - for a reason
in all the ways - you make me feel - boy you keep - me breathing
CHORUS....
what you got - them others dont - cause youre the one i want
you make me hot - them others dont - cause baby youre the one i love
what you got - them others dont - cause youre the one i want
you make me hot - them others dont - cause baby youre the one i love
CHORUS......(till the end...)
