You Be Killin' Em'

Lil' Kim · Other Songs - Lil' Kim

Well I, I still can remember times

When the night seemed to surround me

I was sure the sun would never shine on me

And I, I thought it my destiny

To walk this world aloneBut now you're here

with me

Now you're here with me

And I don't regret the rain

Or the nights I felt the pain

Or the tears I had to cry

Some of those times along the way

Every road I had to take

Every time my heart would break

It was just something that I had to get through

To get me to you

To get me to you

Well I, I still can recall the days

When I had no love around me

Makes me glad for every day I have with you

And I, I look in your eyes and know

I'm right where I belong

And I belong with you

Always belonged with you

And I don't regret the rain

Or the nights I felt the pain

Or the tears I had to cry

Some of those times along the way

Every road I had to take

Every time my heart would break

It was just something that I had to get through

To get me to you

To get me to you

And if I could I wouldn't change a thing

Wouldn't change a thing baby

Because your love was waiting there for me

Waiting there for me baby

And I don't regret the rain

Or the nights I felt the pain

Or the tears I had to cry

Some of those times along the way

Every road I had to take

Every time my heart would break

It was just something that I had to get through

To get me to you

To get me to you
