Full Circle, Right Back Where It All Began

Full circle, right back where it all began,
19 years ago, things were so out of control,
Craving your love, I lost my mind,
Did things I neva thought I’d do,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

I had heard sistas talk about a “It” man,
But at that point I didn’t understand,
Just what an “it” man was,,,it was all silly to me,
Then I met you, and I got a clue,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

When we first met, I felt a jolt of electricity,
Even thinking back, I still get that same tingling sensation,
That I got when you introduced yourself to me,
Neva before had someone’s essence penetrate me,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

The first time we made love, it was over for me,
See that’s what an “it” man does,
He touches a part of you where no one has ever been
And no one else will ever go,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

But it was not meant to be, so I walked away,
Taking with me a small part of you,
Tried my best to detox myself,
But it neva worked, you possessed a special part of me,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

Kept you as my lover in my mind,
Locked my love away,
Every now and then, it sneaked out,
Tracked you down, called, and talked to you,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

More than my lover, you were my friend,
Somehow, I was more trusting of you than anyone else,
Knew you would keep it honest and straight,
Challenged me mentally and spiritually,
You see your love was my drug,
One hit and I was done,
It was obvious for all to see
That your love had taken control of me.

Tables are turned and now it’s your turn
To walk away from me
19 years ago, I made the same choice
So I kinda understand, makes me feel like we have come
Full circle, right back where it all began.
