Sometimes in my life I wanna be Into someone who's gon' be there for me I met him at the corner store ("Hey") On 71 and 50 [?] for miracle He tapped me on my shoulder and [?] But I was just [?] I couldn't take him home He told me I was pretty "I'm so pretty? Boy, you so sweet" How could I deny a man that's just so nice? I was pretty "I'm so pretty? Boy, you so sweet!" Was just something I needed to hear in my life Sometimes in my life I wanna be Into someone who's gon' be there for me Could it be that I found What was here all the while? He was right in my face He was from 'round my way I was surprised when he said he already knew my name I didn't want him looking in my eyes to see this pain I walked away, I grabbed my bag and held on tight But then he pulled me close and said that it's gon' be alright He told me I was pretty "I'm so pretty? Boy, you so sweet" How could I deny a man that's just so nice? I was pretty "I'm so pretty? Boy, you so sweet!" Was just something I needed to hear in my life But oh! Just so you know! I won't let him go 'Cause from those three words I swear That boy touched my soul He made me feel nice And at the right time This world had me down I felt so ugly inside But he didn't see me for what I was, but what I could be I was only in some jeans, sneakers, and hoodie I ain't even have my wig on, but he love me Finally I'm going to see what love should be I took a minute, looked in the mirror, and realized He wasn't at me for my brown thighs Or my cup size I'm real low, I got a rough ride But he seen something else in my brown eyes He saw my struggle and he knew that I was sick of pain Different men with strange names, the same game It's a hurting thing, y'all know about it Bad relationships, can't trust nobody But he sure got it Mama I think he the one! He got charm And I ain't even seen the arm For a moment, I wasn't in this shitty world So keep your head up child, you still a pretty girl You don't have to be alone forever You ain't gotta be alone, girl Nah sista, uh uh 'Cause you're beautiful You don't have to weep and moan, no never You ain't gotta weep and moan, girl Nah sista, uh uh 'Cause you're beautiful You should be happy Sometimes in my life I wanna be Into someone who's gon' be there for me Could it be that I found What was here all the while?
