Lyrics of Before I Met You by Usher
intro
It's only you, for you, yeah
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
You changed my life in so many ways (remember, remember, remember)
I just think back to how I used to be
And how you dealt with me (would you remember, remember?)
Just want to thank you
verse
Just in case I never see your face again (face again)
Just in case the worst was meant to happen (happen)
Just in case tomorrow never come
There is something you should know, oh
verse
I've given you every bit of the man I am (the man I am)
I know at times it wasn't pretty but it was all I had
I never held back, not one lil' bit and the world can attest to this
That, baby, you flipped my program upside down (upside down)
(Listen to me, now)
chorus
I was a hustler and player, girl, (before I met you)
I'd drink a lil' something, hit a lil' something (before I met you)
But how you made a (difference), ooh, look what I've been (missing)
You got my life (together) and I thank you (forever)
chorus
I really used to throw a lot (before I met you)
But I'd do one every night and sometimes I had two
But all that done changed, my game, my frame of mind, you got it right
And I love you for life (girl, I love you for life)
verse
There was so many times I wasn't there for you (I wasn't there for you)
And for every one of those times I hated myself
For the way I went about it
The ups and the downs
One foot in while the other foots' out
Loving on you, loving on another
But I ain't no different from any of the brother
verse
So, what I give to you right here, right now
In this here place (is my voice, say it out)
In this here space (with my heart poured out)
As I state my case, as I break it down
To tell you where I'm coming from
So you seen the good you've done
So you feel the change you've made
Stay with me every day
chorus
I was a hustler and player, girl, (before I met you)
I'd drink a lil' something, hit a lil' something (before I met you)
But how you made a (difference), ooh, look what I've been (missing)
You got my life (together) and I thank you (forever)
chorus
I really used to throw a lot (before I met you)
But I'd do one every night and sometimes I had two
But all that done changed, my game, my frame of mind, you got it right
And I love you for life (girl, I love you for life)
bridge
Girl, if I die tonight, before I wake
Know that you touched my life in, oh so, many ways
And sugar, if this song is all I had to give
Would you remember? (Remember, remember, remember, remember)
Remember my heart, remember it was good
Remember that I tried as long as I could
Remember that I gave 'til I had nothing else
Remember my voice
chorus
I was a hustler and player, girl, (before I met you)
I'd drink a lil' something, hit a lil' something (before I met you)
But how you made a (difference), ooh, look what I've been (missing)
You got my life (together) and I thank you (forever)
chorus
I really used to throw a lot (before I met you)
But I'd do one every night and sometimes I had two
But all that done changed, my game, my frame of mind, you got it right
And I love you for life (girl, I love you for life)
outro
Remember, remember, remember, remember
Would you remember, remember, remember, remember?
Would you remember, remember, remember, remember?
Would you remember, remember, remember?
Remember, remember, remember, remember
Would you remember, remember, remember, remember?
Would you remember, remember, remember, remember?
Would you remember, remember, remember, remember?
