Ian Mereness - Up and Outta Here lyrics

From "Shaft" Soundtrack I was so wrapped up in all of the finer things That I never took the time to show ya What you meant to me Money, cars and ice blinging off clothes I thought that I was hot, until you turned cold How could my success go and deceive me If I could turn it all back Then all of this would be a dream to me (ooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh) Oh,oh (ooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh) Baby, baby If you saw me in Church on Sunday You could tell That I've learned my lesson well Chorus Never said a prayer (Oh oh, like this) Never shead a tear (Until it was you I missed) Never fell in love (Like a bottomless pit) I was so so tough Till you were up and outta here My pride had me thinking that being with me You were blessed Funny how you could ask for so little And receive less All of the fussin' and fightin' Cause I was always gone And even though I gave you a lame excuse you still hung on Oh I don't blame you for leaving me If I could turn it all back This would be a dream to me (oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh) Ho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh) Baby, baby, baby If you could see me on Church on Sunday You would say I learned my lesson well Chorus
