Brandy - I Know Now lyrics

Hey I've tried just about everything
Riches and fame, a lot of friends
A lot of luxuries
Underneath it all I've always
Felt so incomplete
I just want someone to really
Love and care for me
I do all I can to make people happy
But happiness in return is
Something I'll never see
Don't know why I'm going wrong trying
To find what I need
So I'm crying lord please help me, yeah

When I gave him my love
Here's what came back to me
He never ran with my affections
His love is guaranteed
Didn't know unconditional love
Could ever really be found
That didn't happen to somebody like me
I didn't know what I know now

Well since I found his love
I don't try to please nobody else
Cause in him I found all I'll ever need
And he loves me just for me, Brandy
If you don't know him you
Should give him a chance
And he'll give you the best
Love you've ever had
You'll love him like I do
I don't have a doubt listen while I tell you
What I'm talking 'bout

When I gave him my love
Here's what came back to me
He never ran with my affections
His love is guaranteed
Didn't know unconditional love
Could ever really be found
That didn't happen to somebody like me
I didn't know what I know now

Sometimes it seems as though
Life isn't really fair at all
When the ones you try to love
Don't love you back, oh
But when you found the love
That I have found from God above
It erases all the pain of your past
Trying to tell you

When I gave him my love
Here's what came back to me
He never ran with my affections
His love is guaranteed
Didn't know unconditional love
Could ever really be found
That didn't happen to somebody like me
I didn't know what I know now

No, I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
