Nas, Lauryn Hill - It Wasn't You lyrics

Uh huh, a love story
But not your ordinary love story
Not hardly, you heard
Get into this shit right here
Check this shit out you know, check it

As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you

Companions, commitments, relationships
They can be so nice in days picnics
Advance slow nights
You start to miss it all when you got no wife
Seeing couples, walking, holding
Each others hands, talking
Like everything around them don't exist
And yo they stop before crossing the
Street so they can kiss
That remind me, my love for this 'lil mami
A slim body from Saudi Arabia probably
(uh, huh) we met five day into her stay
A thirty day visit
Her second time in the USA
But my first time to gaze at her
And wave at her was at KNICKS game
Islamic name hard to spit game
My thug look made nervous, her Secret Service
The floor seats next to Spike Lee
I had to purchase
Later we met on Tavern on the
Green and after we dined
I said "I got to have you just one time"
She said

As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you

Seduced her fast, surprised me
Laying beside me
Rolling in my satin sheets, flexible body
Hair, black and long, Indian skin complexion
Eyes, nose and lips resemble the Egyptian
It's against rules to make conversation
With anybody new
Which was strange in our situation
That admired her more
Everyday I gave her a tour
Of New York streets
The parts that remained hard-core
It was coming to the day
When she had to depart
When she left I felt the
Butcher knife stabbing my heart
Without a number to dial
Continent near by the Nile she reside at
She said she would write
So she could fly back
Private airplanes, been a year
Letters never came in the short time we were
Together it never rained
Just sun shine when our tongues climbed
Each others body, wish I can
See you one time, cause now

As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed, when it wasn't you
