Lyrics
[Chorus]
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Verse 1]
Sitting here wondering why you don't love me
The way that I love you, and, baby
Have no fear 'cause I will never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy
I can
[Chorus]
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Verse 2]
I know some times can get rough, but we'll make it
We'll make it through the storm and I know
I will try to make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say
[PreChorus]
I can love you
I can love you
A little better than she can
Oh
I know that you
Wish you could be my man
'Cause I can love you better than she can
[Chorus]
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Verse 3]
If I told you once, I told you twice
Q-B throw the booty like a groupie for mo' ice
Armored truck heist, hit the bonus like N'Bushe
In love with you since the days of Juicy
Now I watch you play Colombo, Picasso
Tricks inside colossals, turn your castles to brothels, uh
Who you lovin'? Who you wanna be huggin'?
Dippin' on ya ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, wha'?
You work more body than Jane Fonda
Physical fitness, Mary Blige be my witness
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Ruger by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya
Because of you I'm inheritin' trillions
Buryin' billions, Bentley coupes, millions
Playin' good Samaritan in the Sheraton
Crack the Don P's and Remy's, you better hurry in (Won't you tell me who?)
Who's gonna love you like I do, huh? What?
Who gon' treat you like I do, huh? What?
Mary Blige, Lil Kim, uh (Nobody, nobody)
The Queen Bee, uh, uh, that's me
That's right, and Mary J, Lil K
[Chorus]
I can love you (I can)
I can love you (Love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Chorus]
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Bridge]
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
[Outro]
I can love you
I can love you (I can love you)
