Nas - It Wasn't You Lyrics
[Intro: Nas]Uh huh, a love story, but not your ordinary love storyNot hardly, you heardGet into this shit right here, check this shit outYou know, check it[Chorus x2: Lauryn Hill]As we turn the corner, I count down his nameI felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you[Nas:]Companions, commitments, relationshipsThey can be so nice in days picnics, advance slow nightsYou start to miss it all when you got no wifeSeeing couples, walking, holding each others hands, talkingLike everything around them don't existAnd yo they stop before crossing the street so they can kissThat remind me, my love for this 'lil mamiA slim body from Saudi Arabia probably (uh, huh)We met five day into her stay, a thirty day visitHer second time in the USABut my first time to gaze at herAnd wave at her was at KNICKS gameIslamic name hard to spit gameMy thug look made nervous, her Secret ServiceThe floor seats next to Spike Lee, I had to purchaseLater we met on Tavern on the Green and after we dinedI said "I got to have you just one time", she said[Chorus x2: Lauryn Hill][Nas:]Seduced her fast, surprised me, laying beside meRolling in my satin sheets, flexible bodyHair, black and long, Indian skin completionEyes, nose and lips resemble the EgyptianIt's against rules to make conversation, with anybody newWhich was strange in our situation, that admired her moreEveryday I gave her a tourOf New York streets, the parts that remained hard-coreIt was coming to the day when she had to departWhen she left I felt the butcher knife stabbing my heartWithout a number to dial, continent near by the Nile she reside atShe said she would write, so she could fly backPrivate airplanes, been a year, letters never cameIn the short time we were together it never rainedJust sun shine when our tongues climbedEach others body, wish I can see you one time, 'cause now[Chorus x2: Lauryn Hill]
