I DID MORE FOR YOU
Cornell G. Mack 1955 (Washington DC)
I did more for you in two years than that guy did for you in TEN
If I had met you before he did, you wouldn't have wanted him as a FRIEND
I gave you a thing called RESPECT with him I know you
didn't GET all you got from that guy was him just talking SH*T
No man should talk to his woman in any kind of WAY
It should be precious words that he should want to SAY
A man shouldn't want to talk to his
WOMAN as though she was one of the BOYS
and he shouldn't want to treat her like she was
some childs TOY
When I first met you I told you that I was ALONE
that's why I extended an invitation,for you to visit
me at my HOME
He's going to do this and he's going to do THAT
Does that sound familiar to you that's not RESPECT
I did more for you in a short period of time
then that guy ever COULD I brought out the best
in you just like I knew that I WOULD
When I first saw you I got a feeling that I couldn't EXPLAIN and as I tried to be your friend it just lead to stronger THINGS
I don't have to look and search I now have who I NEED
I didn't have a time limit but it was at Gods SPEED
I did more for you because that's what I wanted to DO
I had it in my mind I had to pursue YOU
You are mine and I am YOURS
we proved that the other night behind closed DOORS
But that's not what it's all about, it plays a big PART
I did what I did for you because you stole my HEART
I knew it was going to happen when it happened
I didn't DISAGREE I put my faith and trust in you
in you, i wanted to BELIEVE
that you wouldn't do anything to harm me and you would put me FIRST
If you would've stayed with him things would've gotten WORST.
