The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

Now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't


As I look at what I've done 
The type of life that I've lived 
How many things I pray father will forgive 
One situation involved a young man 
He was the ocean and I was the sand 
He stole my heart like a thief in the night 
Dulled my senses and blurred my sight


(and i used to love him) 
I used to love him but now I don't 
Now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't


I chose a road of passion and pain 
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain 
Gave up my power ceased being queen 
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend


Torn and confused wasted and used 
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose 
Stuck and frustrated I waited debated 
For something to happen that just wasn't fated 
Thought what I wanted was something I needed 
When momma said no I just should have heeded 
Misled I bled till the poison was gone 
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn


Now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't 
Now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't


Father you saved me and showed me that life 
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife 
Showed me that love was respect and devotion 
Greater than planets deeper than oceans 
My soul was weary but now it's replenished 
Content because that part of my life is finished


I see him sometimes and I look in his eyes 
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold 
But my heart is gold I took back my soul 
And totally let my creator control 
The life which was his to begin with


Now I don't 
I used to love him but now I don't 
(Repeat to end)
