Yeah, I wanna talk to you for a lil' bit
And I brought my girl Faith Evans
Along for the ride

I've never thought about it
Love, what I do without it?
Heartaches that I have seen before

I learned enough about it
What I could do without
And I made the vow that I would change

No, I just couldn't see
What I needed from me
But all these things happened before

And if I'll fall in love again
He'll will be more than just a friend
He will be strong

He'll be a friend, love, companionship
Everything I want in life
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, baby

See, I would give my love any way I could give
But things ain't always what they seem
I tell you, girl, I've been there

My heart would break everyday
And every night I would cry
But that was so long ago

I know I just couldn't see
What I needed for me
But all these things happened before

If I'll fall in love again
He'll will be more than just a friend
He will be strong
He will be strong and he will be my

He'll be a friend, love companionship
Everything I want in life
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, baby

See, I couldn't work it out
I just couldn't figure it out
What you might need from me
More than I had to give up

Things that are meant to be
They put a big strain on your life
But now it's so obvious
'Cause I took a stand back from your love

No, I just couldn't see
What I needed for me
But all these things happened before

And if I'll fall in love again
He'll will be more than just a friend
He will be strong

He'll be a friend, love, companionship
Everything I want in life
Why don't you give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, baby
