Before you got ends and your brand new Benz
And your exclusive friends, I was your baby
I was your ride or die, and yes, your one supply
And everything you needed

There was never room for either to assume
There would be leavin’
But now that you’re brand new and gettin’ on through
Here’s somethin’ to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed huggin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed lovin’

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin’

Now that you’re flyin’ high, head up in the sky
Got everyone believein’ I was your baby
You made it by yourself with nobody’s help
Who you deceivin’

But you already know you’re reapin’ what you sow
You better take it slow
Boy, let me warn you, while you’re makin’ your move
Here’s somethin’ to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed huggin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed lovin’

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin’

Let’s break it on down
Tag team, Betty Wright, it’s your time

Before you lose your mind, you better press rewind
And get some understandin’
Don’t wanna waste my time, you see I works for mine
And life is too demandin’

Breakin’ every rule, thinkin’ that it’s cool
Don’t you be no fool
Now that you’re brand new and gettin’ on through
Here’s somethin’ to take with you

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed huggin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed lovin’

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin’ (‘Cause I was your girl)

You used to love me (You used to love me)
You used to love me {Gave my lovin’}, kiss me and hug me
You used to love me (You used to hug me)
You used to love me {Used to be my man}, now you just bug me

You used to love me (Used to love me)
You used to love me {Gave you everything}, kiss me and hug me
You used to love me (Used to stroke me)
You used to love me {Our love has gone}, now you just bug me

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed huggin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed lovin’

I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed strokin’
I was your baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you needed chokin’

Listen, do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember

Gave me what I wanted, I gave you everything you needed
Said I loved you, want you, baby
Gave you all my lovin’ and then some
Or maybe I didn’t give you right lovin’
I was holdin’ you down like crazy, crazy
You was in the pocket and I was in the socket
Whoa, oh, oh
