I seen this girl, walkin' down the block

I said, "Wait"

"Yo baby, you wanna come to my crib?"

"Have some donuts and milk?"

"Listen to a pop tune maybe?"

Please, be his ex and be my bride

Don't blame it on yourself, sweet thing, you tried

Love you claimed to share just wasn't there

You're too good for that and it wasn't fair

Love's taken its toll, your heart he stole

You was fooled by the face of a phoney role

But I'll take up the slack, support you, baby

Now, the knight in shiny armor can only be me

I cry out your name as you hold his hand

If you're not mine soon, girl, my soul is damned

I'm lookin' out the window at the stormy rain

And the rush of the water makes my eyes drain

All alone in the room and it's makin' me sad

Fantasize of the love we could have had

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

I pour wine for two, even though it's just me

I tried to reach you but blind men don't see

Your man is the devil but he gave you a ring

So you believe you saw an innocent angel sing

You're the type that ignores the destiny of two

It's not Romeo and Juliet, it's me and you

You're bein' handicapped by a Don Juan rap

You can hope I disappear, girl, but I'll be back

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

Yes girl, I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

The time has come, the decision's yours

This super love story ain't workin' no more

Can't you understand that my love spans

Higher and further than any man's?

You're lookin' a gift horse right in the mouth

This time hear me out, I don't care if you pout

You're my only desire, I fight to the death

And I'ma scream your name when I breathe my last breath

Ain't gettin' on my knees but I'm oh so close

To our love I toast, all he does is boast

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

A knock on the door and a tap on the glass

Tells me you see it my way at last

You used to reject me, now you wanna kiss me

He called you up and said, "Yo baby, why you diss me?"

Meanwhile made romance on the sea shore

You want more of what you used to ignore

During this love affair, girl, it gets steamy

Three nights in a row, and you still wanna see me

Make love at night, coffee in the morn'

I be the only blanket that's keepin' you warm

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

I hoot in the mornin' to the crack of sunlight

But my agony continues till it reaches night

Sweet image of your face appears on the wall

And the scene is so eerie I run through the hall

I look at the sky, then I search for the moon

Realize it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon

So I dress to impress, exit the house

Go up to the school and watch the kids come out

In the middle of the court yard there you stand

With the man who's deceivin' ya, holdin' your hand

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

You're the goddess of light, the queen of seduction

You won't get used if you follow my instructions

Your scram my hand, feel the sweat on my palm

Make love to a man and not a cheap Don Juan

And that'll be eroticism, highs die down

You will find your best friend finally is found

I caress ya at night like a virgin in white

'Cos the new world I found is oh, so tight

And tender and young, soft and wet

It's hotter than any fantasy could get

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more

I can give you more

Girl, I can give you more

I can give you more

'Cos I never met anyone like you before

And I can give you more
