[Intro] Oh-Oh-! Oh, yeah... That's the way it always been... Mm-mm... [Verse 1] Been a while since I wrote to you... I've been out... looking out for my friends... But it's time for me to make my choice... If I pick it up... or let you go... (Mm, mm...) [Pre-Chorus] The rain's pouring down. Only one place I can go. Standing outside your door. You're not surprised at all. You look at me. And I look at you. Then start off saying... I've been meaning to tell you this... [Chorus] Shawtie, you deserve it-! From me... And nobody else... understands you... Like I do... (I do) And baby, you was destined-! For me... Nobody can love you... Like I do... (Like I do...) [Verse 2] Baby, I've been done playing these games... For a while, I was standing in the flames... And I understood, I was missing you, yeah... I know that we've tried... And failed a couple of hundred times... But times have changed... And my priorities been straight, girl, I-I-I, know. [Pre-Chorus] The rain's pouring down. (POURING DOWN-!) Only one place I can go. (Only one place-!) Standing outside your door. (Standing outside) You're not surprised at all. (Not at all) You look at me. (You do) And I look at you. (I do) Then start off saying... (I said) I've been meaning to tell you this... (All this time-!) [Chorus] Shawtie, you deserve it-! From me... And nobody else... understands you... Like I do... (I do) And baby, you was destined-! For me... Nobody can love you... Like I do... (Like I do...) [Outro]
