Chorus:
What love got to do with it?
What's love go to with it?
You know what love is
Verse 1:
I met her through my brother
At the record store, I dug her
Remember getting her number
Suggested that I should buzz her
Back then I was just a youngin
But we connected on the phone like we were lovers
Trying to get up in the covers
Had her by my, side in the ride in the back of the bus together
My mama didn't like when we hang out too much together
A school crush, but better, it was true love, we never
Going to lose touch, forever yo we grew up together, and
Doing the doo wop, shadibidy boo bop
On a roof top, with you on
My boom box, watching the moon drop
Used to save for her
Just so I could pay for her
Put her on
Dedicate everyday for her
Huh, what's the definition of love huh?
It's a word we've been given to sum up
A feeling that we feeling for someone
Or something, the one I'm in love with
Chorus:
What love got to do with it?
What's love go to with it?
You know what love is
Verse 2:
What I loved most, she had so much soul
And a huge bottom end, the fly'est female
Started comprehend, the finer details
Something that Common said, felt the same way he felt
Always off and on again, but I thought
That it was never going to end, I was wrong
Even though, we were close, we started to lose the spark
I needed room for me to grow, that's why we grew apart
Huh, what's the definition of love huh?
It's a word we've been given to sum up
A feeling that we feeling for someone
Or something, the one I was in love with
Chorus:
What love got to do with it?
What's love go to with it?
You know what love is
Verse 3:
I wish we could take it back to the start
Refresh, rewind, you left a gap in my heart
Each breath, breath life, time patch up the scars/
But now, we light-years apart like Saturn and mars
Back when I heard ya single, I wanted to be ya b-side
They used to say we like Jigga and Be, started to see
— Why, Jigga would cheat
Ya threw my a** on the street, now we Nas and Kelis
How can it be right, when everything is wrong?
But i'm a take her back, hoping that this sh** stop
I only do ya coz I love ya, you were my culture
Coz who I'm talking bout y'all is hip hop, is hip hop
