[Intro: Sample]
I never knew what love was (no)
I never knew what love was (no)

[Verse 1]
Uh, ahh, yo
Yo lemme reminisce over my Delilah, I was reticent
Street queen’s Femme Fatale, friendly with the benefits
Body like a mamba, couldn't feel it when the venom hit
Heaven’s gift, deadly with a kiss, but I digress uh
I never knew what love was, until our eyes met
A predatory gaze that made me pray for the tigress
The recipe for doom, Nefertiti in a fly dress
She wrapped her arms around me like the laces through the eyelids, uh
Preach and defense, heart was beatin’ out of my chest
She spun a spell, when she requested, I replied “yes”, ahh
Sometimes her words would hypnotize me in a trance
Like I’m Tom Petty, Mary, guide me through the dance
Hold me close, tight, cancer, anxiety enhanced
If I’m ever lost, she would always find me in her hands
Call it cobra clutch, toxic, I had to sober up
It’s better for the both of us, I never knew, now I know what’s up
Couldn't

[Chorus: Sample]
I never knew what love was (no)
I never knew what love was (no)
[Verse 2]
Yah, ahh
Here goes a little story, you could say that it’s a tale
About two ordinary people who went crazy with betrayal
They had fallen deep in love, but their relationship was stale
Had a date with fate derailed, added weight to tip the scale
Haters hate to wish you well, they would pray for shit to fail
Catch an L, break it off for real, 86 yourself
You see, he knew the love was there somewhere, but love was not the same
Rapunzel, weave your golden hair, you're spun
Drop your braid and let it thunder, tropic rain like in tornado land
The weather changed, when your playin’ friends forever came and went
Wonderin’ if this is the way it end, never say again
That it’s too late to make amends, if we manipulate the lens
Hopin’ to see beyond the veil, really understand the vow
Mistake you grow and learn from, but some you can’t allow
These days, she’s hardly heard from, and another man is around
He strays farther from her, spun in the one that land the sound
Yah

[Chorus: Sample]
I never knew what love was (no)
I never knew what love was (no)
