I love you, you know what they say?
We gotta go through love and hell for shit to turn up right, you know?
Listen
[Busta Rhymes:]
You'll be forever in my thoughts, know I won't forget it
Forget your love and how reckless I was, I so regret it
Walking around acting like everything is copacetic
Justifying the phallic? shit till it's so pathetic
Should have respected it more when I was supposed to rep it
My ego got in the way when I wasn't post to let it, I said it
I know I acted stupid, never admitted guilt, my pride wouldn't let me do it
And our love was killed by... until I made you prove it
And after all we built I slide like I ain't scared to loose it
I dreamed about your type and prayed for it
Yeah, but felt the love you never felt before and got afraid for it
My love was genuine for you I never tried to hurt you
But the type of dude that I was, I knew I ain't deserve you
I leave a final kiss, don't forget about me,
I wanna see you happy, you're better off without me
[Chorus:]
These tears I cried, showing me the life
It will not be the last nooah
Cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you, said I thank you,
Yes I thank you, for making me a woman
[Estelle:]
Sometimes I wonder, do you
Even recognize the woman that's standing in front of you
Listen, sometimes I wonder,
Do you even care or realize why I took care of you
Cause you're my heart, you are my soul
You are my other half without you I cannot be whole baby
So far apart, I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know why,
[Chorus:]
These tears I cried, showing me the life
It will not be the last, noaah
Cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you, said I thank you,
Yes I thank you, for making me a woman
[Estelle:]
Sometimes I wonder, could she be
More of a woman to you than you are a man to me
Listen sometime I wonder, why me
I'm here miserable while you're out living your fantasies
And didn't care.
Cause you're my heart, you are my soul
You are my other half without you I cannot be whole baby
So far apart, I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby, why.
[Chorus:]
These tears I cried, showing me the life
It will not be the last nooah
Cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you, said I thank you,
Yes I thank you, for making me a woman
[Estelle:]
One thing I learned in life is
We all gotta be ready to sacrifice to survive
I hope she's happy
You're the chapter that I'll be closing
Hope you're happy
Cause once my door closes it won't be open
[Chorus:]
These tears I cried, showing me the life
It will not be the last nooah
Cause this pain inside, shivers seems to hide
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you, said I thank you,
Yes I thank you, for making me a woman
