Píseň: Like You Used To Do

Interpret:
Anita Baker
Album:
My Everything
I can smell the scent of fresh cut grass

You know it kind'a took me back

To yesterday when we was young, oh so young

I remember we were so scared

To even hold each other's hands

But still we fell so deep in love



When did it start to rain?

How did things get so strange?

When did it go astray baby?



'Cause you don't love or want me

Sometimes I think that you don't know me

I just need for you to show me

Oh like you used to do, oh yea

Like you used to do, baby umm



You were my Weezy, you were my Boo

You was my Thelma, damn I was into you

Why can't it be that way again baby

You were my Marvin, my Billy Dee

Oh baby my, my, my sweet melody

Why can't you play that music today?

I wanna play baby



When did it start to rain?

How did things get so strange?

When did it go astray?



Girl you don't want me, need me

Girl you don't even try to please me

I would if you would squeeze me

Like you used to do, ooh

Like you used to do, yeah



You don't hear me, you don't feel me

Sometimes I think you don't even see me

Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah

Like you used to do, baby baby

Like you used to do, umm

Like you used to do



When we gonna do it like we used to

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it



Tell me when did it start to rain?

How did things get so strange baby?

When did it go astray?

I wanna know when did it start to rain

How did things get so strange ?

I wanna know, I wanna know baby?



Well you don't hear me, you don't feel me

Sometimes I think that you don't see me

Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah

Like you used to do

Like you used to do, baby

Like we used to do

Like you used to do

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do

When we gonna do it like we used to do

When we gonna do it

Like you used to do
