[Intro] Can I talk to you? [Verse 1] Pain, I know that I cause you some pain And baby I know it's a shame The games, the strain Love, girl all you had for me was love And I ran your love in a muck No hugs and what, what, what What was I thinking? [Pre-Chorus] It hit me like a flash of light I realize you are my life And I really love you (I love you baby) Yes I do, yes I do [Chorus] I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows To the White House from d**h-row Projects to Hollywood A pimp to a minister, from bad to good I've changed like a poor excuse to a true friend I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent Baby I've changed [Verse 2] Life, I'm willing to lay down my life Baby won't you be my wife? Except this ring tonight Now I was a blind man who spent his whole life in the dark No trees, no bees, no Central Park And I realize the love in my eyes You're the perfect work of art, lady [Pre-Chorus + Chorus] [Bridge] The risk of losing you has caused my transformation My rehabilitation, dedication, inspiration Girl I'm brand new Listen clearly baby I'm willing to show you The little things I meant to do But I never took the time to do (I wanna love you) [Chorus x3]
