Ryan Leslie

Used To Be

This is dedicated to ev’ybody

Who had a first love

R Les, F to the A B

(Ya don't stop, ya won't stop)

(Ya don't stop, and it won't stop)

It’s gotta be next selection

(Ya don't stop, ya won't stop)

(Ya don't stop, and it won't stop)

Yeah, just rock with it, come on

(Ya don't stop, ya won't stop)

(Ya don't stop, and it won't stop)

Baby, it could be how it used to be

Or maybe it could be you ain't used to me

’Cause it used to be the charm

But I'm early as a rooster on a farm

With a Jacob exclusive on the arm

But nothin’ come close to the feelin’ of your first

If you love to hustle it's like dealin’ on the first

It's deeper than the dishes on the V's

Just remember that the fishes in the sea

Wishes they could be with me

I've been through it, you've been through it

Never want to break up but you do it

Nothin’s workin’, both are hurtin'

You're goin’ out and you catch yourself flirtin’

Arguin’ like, every week it's

To the point where you really ain't speakin’

So you leave her but it's only

A matter of time before you say

Girl, I'm so broke down without you

Girl, I messed up, baby, can you forgive me?

I can't stop thinkin’ 'bout you

’Cause I was at my best when you was with me

And it's funny, how things get re-arranged

Now, I’m left out in the rain, baby, baby

I know you feel what I'm talkin’ ‘bout

’Cause we all got somebody who used to

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, she's gone and you miss her

(’Cause, she used to be)

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, that's just what she used to be

Now, every now and then you get the feelin’

Seein' her again might be appealin’

So you call her, dial the number

Say you want to hook up ‘cause you wonder

How she's doin’? Is she okay?

And do she wanna see you this Friday?

And if it works out your way

This is what you hear yourself say

I'm so broke down without you

Girl, I messed up, can you ever forgive me?

Girl, I can't stop thinkin’ ‘bout you

’Cause I was at my best when you was with me

And it's funny, how things get re-arranged

And I'm left in the rain

(Left out in the rain, baby, baby)

You know just what I'm talkin’ 'bout

We've all had somebody who used to

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, she's gone and you miss her

(And she used to be)

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, that's just what she used to be

I remember walkin’ through park

On the phone talkin’ till it's dark

Layin’ on the golden sands

Holdin’ hands till we got golden tans

Knowin’ one day we gon' wear golden bands

Let's take it back when you had my name on your nails

And you came with the bails, soon as I came in the jail

You was there for me but I don't see you as much now

Guess I dropped the ball on a game-winnin’ touchdown

(And she used to be)

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, she's gone and you miss her

(’Cause she used to)

She used to be your number one

She used to be your only lover

But now, that's just what she used to be

She got too lost in your memory

Your memory, your memory

She got too lost in your memory

Your memory, your memory

She got too lost in your memory

Your memory, baby

She got too lost in your memory

Your memory, your memory

R Les, it's real F to the A B
