I Should've Met You First
Ilia Mathis 1989 (Sylva)
It was love at first sight
And most said our love wasn't right
In your worst time I hold you tight
All I prayed for
Was for you to stay the night
To show you right
I should've met you first
The love you found wasn't right
You was taken for granted
And it wasn't right
All I dream is to be a better man
Hold you down better than he ever could
I should've met you first
Like Mary j. Blige and method man
You're all I need to get by
Like the fall when leaves are changing
I see your brightness glowing
Now I'm holding a bundle of joy
You barred my son
I made a choice to love, hold, and rejoice
At night when I lay down to sleep
Like a text message my mind beeps
I wish I would've met you first then go to sleep
I should've met you first
