Lyrics
'Cause of You
Every time you come around, I pinch myself to know if it's real
Besides the sexual way make me feel, love we have room to build
I used to laugh at niccas that talked like this...swore that they lost their minds
But here I find, myself, time and time saying things of the very kind
Girl I want you here with me, every way, shape, and form
Don't worry 'bout tryna stand no rain, I'm gonna shield you from the storm
Oh girl I never felt like this before, feeling things all brand new
Don't quite understand what's going on, but I know that it's because of you.
-Chorus-
Because of you baby girl
Love stays on my mind
If I searched the world far and wide
A love like yours I'd never find
Blind love is a myth, because of you I never seen so clear
Thru all of life's storms, you make the sun appear my dear
A nicca like me ain't used to this; I'm always in total control
But my mind is on you, you're stealing my heart, and your eyes have simply stole my soul
I don't regret it, negative thoughts you betta det it
I'm right where I want to be. Deliberately, and smoothly your love has taken over me
Now that you got me, whatcha gonna do with me? T-Shaw is here to stay
Girl have your way, don't delay, I can't keep my love at bay
(Chorus)
-Bridge-
Now baby baby baby, listen to what I say...
You've affected me girl, in oh such a strong way now
You found love baby, love I didn't know was there...
And like I've said before, I ain't going nowhere
(Musical Break with adlibs)
Oh no I ain't going nowhere my dear
I'm gonna stay right here, so let's make that clear
I never thought I'd find a love
I never thought I'd know a love
I never thought I'd stay in love
And it's all because of you babe...
(Chorus repeats until end with adlibs)
