[Verse 1]
Just seventeen when I metchu
Yeah you, we were young but cha knew what I been through
Ita fucked up if we meant to
But I was your friend tried to protect you
Plus I knew you had potential
Had a good heart and was set to mend to
Known as a hoe and got laughed at
But I was a man, and I saw right past that
You were better than that, so I aimed you
In the right direction a gaurdian angel
Even though I wasnt heaven sent
Had to take you outta that bad bad element
I admit I was hesitant
To give you my heart but you know I had to represent
I had to show you there was more to life
Show you da light that was sorta nice
I knew you had issues
And there was some shit that you had been through
Tried my best to understand
All I ever wanted was to be ya man
Had no self esteem and was insecure
Wipe'en tears and reassure
Tell you that your beautiful
Special and Unusual
Much more than just doable
Deserved the world and you knew it too
Put up with ya jealous rage
Flipouts and abusive stage
Thru it all I always stayed
By your side you were amazed
Didn't know why but I couldnt say
Just took it all like day to day
Wanted the ring so I copped that
You want a new car so I bought that
You wanted a kid, yo I got that
Now you wanna crib so I bought that
Everything in the world that your heart desired
I gave to you, I sacrificed
Anything to see you smile
Ya happiness just drove me wild
[Chorus]
How could this happen to my happy home
How could you tear the heart out my soul
Why am I the one whose all alone
When I did everything just to make you happy
How could this happen to my happy home
How could you tear the heart out my soul
How could you be so damn cold
When all I ever did was try to make you happy
[Verse 2]
Moved real fast in marryment
Things did move like kinda quick
Engaged, married, now a kid
That was the base of my happiness
I worked for mine, and tried
