This is a special song for you, Shorty 'Cause I think you forgot how it started out And I'm about to take you way back To our once upon a time (Once upon a time, oh) Yeah (Once upon a time) Do you remember how we used to look at each other? (Once upon a time) Talk to each other, psh, I remember Now it seems to me You're living in a dream world, fantasy In love with a n***a that can never be What I can be (Ya think ya ballin' now) But do you recall? Us bus riding, window shopping at the mall We were broke as a n***a but we had it all We had it all I'm here to remind you of our Once upon a time, oh Once upon a time Once upon a time, oh (Once upon a time) Once upon a time, oh (I remember when) (You came into my life) Once upon a time (Making love all night) Once upon a time, oh (Once upon a time) As time goes on Now we made some dough But separate not together Like we planned it all So how it all became was What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours What the hell were we thinking? If I could read your mind I'd reach into your heart and soul To find the love that was missing Left so far behind, so far behind I'm here to remind you of our Once upon a time, oh Once upon a time Once upon a time, oh (Once upon a time) Once upon a time, oh (I remember when) (You came into my life) Once upon a time (Making love all night) Once upon a time, oh (Once upon a time) As time goes on Take it to the bridge now Oh, oh, oh I don't think you feel me, baby Oh, oh, oh Once upon a time Hold on, hold on, baby And do you remember Running up your mama's phone bill, baby? Didn't wanna hang up for nothing And it's a quarter to three Kept on talking for hours 'Til we both fell asleep Once upon a time, oh (Just think about it, think about it) Once upon a time (Whoa) Once upon a time, oh (I'm gon' take you back right now) (To the bus pa** days) Once upon a time, oh (Now do you remember?) Once upon a time (Standing on the bus stop with me, baby) Once upon a time, oh (We had no fancy cars and no diamond rings) (No credit cards, no bling, bling)
