[INTRO: MC Shan]

She used to tell me that she loved me all the time

I'd turn to her and say that, "I'm

Infatuated by your lovely smile

And some day soon we're gonna walk the isle"

She'd say, "You're my everything, my strenght for life

Be the mother of your children, as well as your wife"

She used to tell me all the time, I'm her one and only

But she ran with another man and left me lonely



[VERSE 1: MC Shan]

Coincidental how I met her

But when I seen her I knew that I'd get her

Can't let her step, she look too good

But my wears made me seem like a stone cold hood

I'm a lucky guy, so I press my luck

I step to her, ah what the fuck

Went her way, took a few steps past her

Got the nerve, and then I asked her

I said, "Yo baby," and she started to reach

I said, "Whoa, don't get excited, that's a figure of speech"

She told me her name, gave her number and all

And when I stepped, she said I better call

It took about a month, but she was finally mine

Everything was going smooth, we were doin fine

After a while it wasn't no thing

We were either holding hands or she was under my wing

She used to whisper in my hear I'm her one and only

But she ran with another man and left me lonely



[CHORUS: TJ Swan]

Girl, why'd you have to leave me that way?

I love you to this day

And it hurts to think of the words you used to say

Girl, why'd you have to leave for so long?

I never did you wrong

And it seems we had such a love that was so strong



[VERSE 2: MC Shan]

On the day she broke out, would you believe I cried?

And it hurts so much to think of how she lied

I shared everything to the very last penny

Somethin that you really can't do with many

Since this young lady was such a big winner

I'd treat her all the time to a candle light dinner

Have a violinist play a real sweet song

And she never showed a sign that somethin was wrong

My boy used to say (Man Shan, I'd quit her)

But she seemed so happy everytime I'm with her

We used to hold hands and walk in the rain

And on the days I felt down she eased my pain

This was just too far-fetched to believe

To think that my girl would just up and leave

Imagine that - I just couldn't

Cause I knew deep down in my heart she wouldn't

All of a sudden a lot of things changed

She started actin funny, I mean a bit srange

We had little squabbles, arguments, fights

Wild stories in the days and stayed out nights

I'd say, "Baby, where you been for all that time?

She cuddled me close and say that I'd

Be the one that she call her only

But she ran with another man and left me lonely



[CHORUS: TJ Swan]

Girl, why'd you have to leave me that way?

I love you to this day

And it hurts to think of the words you used to say



[VERSE 3: MC Shan]

She put it to me plain, couldn't put it no clearer

Lipstick written on the bedroom mirror

Said, 'I'm leaving you now, and I know that you'll miss me

You're probably saying: Damn, man, why she dissed me?

But you see, I felt that it was time to go

Then I packed my bags, and I'm leavin, so

You take care and I hope you live long

And don't worry, there's nothing that you did wrong

You'll find the right girl someday, you'll see

Why I'm the type of woman that must be free'

I said, "Why me?" and fell to the bed

Reached for the 9 and put it to my head

And thought about the words that she once said

(Shan, you know that you're my one and only)

But she ran with another man and left my lonely



[OUTRO: TJ Swan]

O-o-o-oh girl, oh my girl

Why'd you have to leave?

Leave me so sad

Girl, you broke my heart

Oh, you drive me wild

You leave me by myself

All by myself

Girl, I don't know what to do

I'm so mad

Girl, you drive me wild

Ooh so wild

Baby drive me crazy

Leave me by myself

Leave me all alone

By the phone

I don't know what to do

I'm so mad

Girl, you drive me wild

Oh so wild

When I saw you leave me

Makes me want to cry

Girl, I'm breakin down

Breakin down

Yo, I don't know what to do



(Love)
