[Intro: Xscape & LaTocha]
Hoo, 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, oh, no
[Chorus: Xscape]
I will always love you (I will, I will)
No matter how many things you try to do or say (No matter how, no, no, no)
Certain things just don't go away
I will always love you (See, you know that I always will)
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 that I love you)
And 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 (I will always love you)
No matter how many things you try to do or say (No matter, oh, oh, no)
Certain things just don't go away
I will always love you (See, you know that I always will)
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away (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
