Lyrics

I Will

[Intro: Xscape & LaTocha]

I will always love you

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

[Verse 1: Kandi]

You were the first to take my heart

Make me happy, at the same time make me cry

Show me a lot of things I never knew that I had inside

Late night phone conversations of you

Telling me what you wanna do

Then we argue all night about who's been sleeping with you, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: LaTocha]

No matter what people say

It don't change the way I feel (Change the way I feel)

And no matter how much we fuss and fight

I gotta keep it real with myself

'Cause as bad as I wanna leave

It's the hardest thing for me

I can keep trying to act like I don't care

But deep down inside I ain't going nowhere

[Chorus: Xscape & (LaTocha)]

I will always love you

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away (Go away, no)

I will always love you (You know I will)

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away

[Verse 2: Kandi]

You were the first to see my body, body

Give me gifts and all types of real nice things

I used to tell you how much I loved you

And in return you would do the same

I've had so many lonely days

Ever since you upped and went away

I can't help but wonder where you're at

Hoping one day you'll be back, baby

[Pre-Chorus: LaTocha]

No matter what people say

It don't change the way I feel (No, it don't)

And no matter how much we fuss and fight

I got to keep it real with myself

'Cause as bad as I wanna leave

It's the hardest thing for me (It's so hard)

I can keep trying to act like I don't care

But deep down inside I ain't going nowhere

[Chorus: Xscape]

I will always love you

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away

I will always love you

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away

[Bridge: Xscape]

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

Hoo, hoo, I will love you

You know, baby, I love you

Respectfully, I say to thee

I'm aware that you're cheating

But no one, no one

Can make me feel the way you do

[Chorus: Xscape]

I will always love you

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away

I will always love you

No matter how many things you try to do or say

Certain things just don't go away

[Outro: LaTocha]

Ooh, you know that

'Cause you know that I'd rather have you, you

'Cause you know that, 'cause you know that...
