I Used to Be in Love Lyrics by Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon

2003

[Intro: Nick Cannon]
Woo, yeah (Can I ball?)
You didn't have to do me like that, ma
Nick cannon
You almost had me, ha (Joe)
But my inner pimp wouldn't let that happen, you dig? (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
(Young Guru, let's get it) Let's get it
[Verse 1: Nick Cannon]
Know this chick named Tanya, dime from East Yonkers
Had me going bonkers, kama sutra, tantra
Losing my cool, this dude was straight on one
Shopping sprees and monogamy
When them other dudes call, it don't bother me
I'm a young Billy Dee, she Mahogany
Model chick, taught her quick how to stick and move
Bottle sip on the Cris' and we quick to groove
She was my friend, my homie, my one and only
Whitney's King of R&B's tenderoni
My 'round the way girl, now a down the block phony
Wish she woulda told me, out being grown, see
With Ronny, Bobby, Ricky and Tony
Tryna play a pimp and pimp a player
Little mama, dont you know I got chicks to spare?
You was my first round draft, now the bench is over there (Yeah)
[Chorus: Joe]
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
[Verse 2: Nick Cannon]
Silly of me to fall in love with a chick
Putting dubs on a six, diamond flooding her wrist
In the club handcuffin' and huggin' it
Trench chinchilla furs, Jacobs his and hers
Now all you get is hard **** and on my nerves
Used to go out with large amounts to splurge
Foreign designers, can't pronounce the words
Tried to give you the glamour life
Ever since I blew your spot, you got Hammer's life
Shoulda played your position like Vanna White
Never knew me and you could been man and wife
Now it's no more love, we just us
No more me and you, no more us
No more we can cruise, hit the city bus
Can't believe that I fell for you
I guess it's true, gigolos get lonely, too, uh
[Chorus: Joe]
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
[Verse 3: Nick Cannon]
Yo, it used to be you, shotgun in the six hund'
New Puerto Rican chick, thick with a slick bun
That got your run, got your rocks
Got your, "Oh, daddy, please dont stop"
I was your best thing going, not just your meal ticket
Wasn't out there hoein', shorty, we can still kick it
Hate to admit it, had me spending for a minute
If you say you didn't did it, yeah, you can still get it
You said all you want is love and affection
You used to be my angel, then you started vexin'
Took you out, bought you all kinds of things
Then it got too hot and burned off your wings
Up and down the block with Dexter St. Jacques
I ain't mad at ya 'cause the pimpin' don't stop
I know the name of the game, my chick chose him
It's nothin' to get knocked out, I'm Fillmore Slim (Holla)
[Chorus: Joe]
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
Oh, I used to be in love
How could you ever do me wrong?
I'm rolling solo, the thrill is gone, so
I need a lady to come and take me
[Outro: Nick Cannon & Joe]
Fillmore Slim
It's nothin' to get knocked out, I'm Fill—
Knocked out, I'm Fillmore Slim
It's nothin' to get knocked out, I'm Fillmore S—
Knocked out, I'm Fillmore Slim
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
