Paroles: Angie Stone. The Art of Love and War. Baby.

Before you got your ins
And your brand new Benz
And your exclusive friends
I was your baby

I was your ride and die
And yes your one supply
Oh yes and everything you needed

There was never room
For either to assume there would be leavin'
And now that you're brand new
And gettin' on through
It's something to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed huggin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed lovin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin'

Now that you're flyin' high
Cat up in the sky
Got everyone believin'
I was your baby
You made it by yourself
With nobody's helps, ooh you deceivin'

You already know
You're reaping what you sow
You better take it so
Boy let me warn you
While you're making your move
Something to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed huggin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed lovin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin'

Break it down
Slow down, I want you, don't want to be, I want you to
Slow down, I want you, don't want to be
Tag team, better right, it's your time

Before you lose your mind
You better press rewind, and get some understandin'
Don't want to waste my time, you see I works for mine
And life is too demandin'

Breakin every rule, thinkin' that it's cool
Don't you be no fool
And now that you're brand new
And gettin' on through, it's something to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed huggin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed lovin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin'

I was your girl
(You used to love me)
You used to love me
(You used to love me, kiss me and hug me)

(You used to love me)
You used to hug me
(You used to love me, now you just bug me)

(You used to love me)
Used to love me
(You used to love me, kiss me and hug me)

(You used to love me)
Used to stroke me
(You used to love me, now you just bug me)

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed huggin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
And you needed lovin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin'
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin'

Do you remember?
Ooh, I want you, don't wanna be
Do you remember?
Ooh, I want you, don't wanna be
Do you remember?
Ooh, I want you, don't wanna be
