Guru - Something In The Past lyrics

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it was something in the past Yo you look good, how you been? How's my little man, how's he doing? And umm.. did you get the package that I sent? I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him But I'm gettin vexed at you and I I can't front baby, yeah you still look fly And as I try, to get my words together There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember The good sh** always outweighed the bad I never wanted to make you sad So think of me, as one man Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman Although the plans didn't work out It doesn't mean I won't look out For you and yours, I wish you the best Because it's over I guess I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Now I'm livin the life, of a true mack Devoted to my music, tryin hard not to look back But on occasion I can see your face The memories, they got me driftin a little taste But now you're doin your thing, I'm takin care of mine And so we're movin on, leavin the past behind I guess relationships they ain't for me That's why I had to set you free I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past My personality is magnanimous That's why the ladies always cause a fuss It's in the past what we had Aiyyo respect to your moms and peace to your dad I'm glad, that we've been through this Because you know what? I've noticed A lot about myself, see I wanna gain wealth They say, that chasin women is bad for your health I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Somethin in the past Somethin in the past These moments never last Somethin in the past Dedicated to all the ex girls You know I'm on with the next girl Peace
