Lauryn Hill - It Wasn't You lyrics

[Intro: Nas] Uh huh, a love story, but not your ordinary love story Not hardly, you heard Get into this sh** right here, check this sh** out You know, check it (Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2 As he turned the corner, I called out your name I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you [Nas] Companions, commitments, relationships They can be so nice in days picnics, advance slow nights You start to miss it all when you got no wife Seeing couples, walking, holding each others hands, talking Like everything around them don't exist And yo they stop before crossing the street so they can kiss That remind me, my love for this 'lil mami A slim body from Saudi Arabia probably (uh, huh) We met five day into her stay, a thirty day visit Her second time in the USA But my first time to gaze at her And wave at her was at KNICKS game Islamic name hard to spit game My thug look made nervous, her Secret Service The floor seats next to Spike Lee, I had to purchase Later we met on Tavern on the Green and after we dined I said "I got to have you just one time", she said (Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2 [Nas] Seduced her fast, surprised me, laying beside me Rolling in my satin sheets, flexible body Hair, black and long, Indian skin complexion Eyes, nose and lips resemble the Egyptian It's against rules to make conversation, with anybody new Which was strange in our situation, that admired her more Everyday I gave her a tour Of New York streets, the parts that remained hard-core It was coming to the day when she had to depart When she left I felt the butcher knife stabbing my heart Without a number to dial, continent near by the Nile she reside at She said she would write, so she could fly back Private airplanes, been a year, letters never came In the short time we were together it never rained Just sun shine when our tongues climbed Each others body, wish I can see you one time, cause now (Chorus: Lauryn Hill) X2
