Lyrics
[Intro]
Holla, holla, holla
Holla, holla, holla
[Verse 1]
Maybe it's me, maybe I bore you
Or no-no, it's my fault 'cause I can't afford you
Maybe, baby, Puffy, or Jay-Z
Would all be better for you
'Cause all I could do is love you
[Chorus]
Baby, when I used to love you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I went through the fire for you
Anything you asked me to
[Chorus]
But I'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
I realize that I just don't love you
Not like I used to
[Chorus]
Holla, holla, holla
Yeah, yeah
Holla, holla, holla
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now maybe I should rob somebody
So we could live like Whitney and Bobby
It's probably my fault, my bad, my loss
But you are above 'cause all I could do is love you
[Chorus]
Baby, when I used to love you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I went through the fire for you
Anything you asked me to
[Chorus]
But I'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
I realize that I just don't love you
Not like I used to
[Chorus]
Holla, holla, holla
Yeah, yeah
Holla, holla, holla
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Now do you remember when I used to love you?
Baby, no, not anymore, love you
Oh, I loved you
And you're gonna miss me now
Yeah
[Chorus]
Baby, when I used to love you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I went through the fire for you
But I'm not gonna play the fool
[Chorus]
No, I can't live this lie
And I can't justify
And I can't make you my wife
'Cause I don't love you
Not like I used to
[Chorus]
Holla, holla, holla
Not like I used to
Holla, holla, holla
Not like I used to
[Outro]
Oh, I used to love you, used to love you
Oh, but I don't love you, I don't love you
Oh, I used to love you, used to love you
Oh, but I don't love you, I don't love you
[Outro]
Oh, I used to love you, used to love you
Oh, but I don't love you, I don't love you
