Up And Outta Here

From "shaft" soundtrack



I was so wrapped up in all of the finer things

That i never took the time to show ya

What you meant to me

Money, cars and ice blinging off clothes

I thought that i was hot, until you turned cold

How could my success go and deceive me

If i could turn it all back

Then all of this would be a dream to me

(ooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)

Oh,oh

(ooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)

Baby, baby

If you saw me in church on sunday you could tell

That i've learned my lesson well



Chorus

Never said a prayer

(oh oh, like this)

Never shead a tear

(until it was you i missed)

Never fell in love

(like a bottomless pit)

I was so so tough

Till you were up and outta here



My pride had me thinking that being with me

You were blessed

Funny how you could ask for so little

And receive less

All of the fussin' and fightin'

Cause i was always gone

And even though i gave you a lame excuse you still hung on

Oh i don't blame you for leaving me

If i could turn it all back

This would be a dream to me

(oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)

Ho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)

Baby, baby, baby

If you could see me on church on sunday

You would say i learned my lesson well



Chorus
