Until You Came
Faith Evans · Other Songs - Faith Evans
Love was just a four letter word
Misused to entrust the heart of followers
But it never meant a damn thing to me
Until you came so unexpectedly
Then you curved my whole attitude
Got me feelin' ways that I never thought I could
See really what I'm tryin' to say is I like what I'm feelin'
And I hope you never take it away
[Chorus]
I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
Until you came
Baby I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
And then you came, baby I
[Verse 2]
I can't believe you walked through my defenses
And made me smooth out my rough ends and
You got me open and I'm hopin' that this ain't no act
'Cause I don't want no parts of that
Matter fact, I really hope that you're true
'Cause I wanna invest my time in you
And all my childish dreams with all my conversations
'Cause I know that somethin' special's in the makin' I
[Chorus (1x)]
[Bridge]
Ooh la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
[Faith talking]
Yo! Seriously though, I'm buggin'. I'm, I'm really confused
'Cause I trust you with some things you say, but with other things
I just don't trust you. But my mama said work with it, you know what I mean?
It's like I've been going through all these emotions
And I'm dealin' with stuff I've never dealt with before
It's like you just, hmm, you got me straight trippin' boo.
I don't even know what's wrong with me.
But I hope you understand how I feel, 'cause I really care about you.
So check this out baby.
[Chorus (2x)]
