But I'll be there beside you
With lots of love to give—
You, love to give— (Uh)

[Verse 1: Common]
It was a dream day, met her on spring break
Look like the type that be like "No hable inglés"
She said you look like you rap, where's your bling'e?
And your clothes is tight but you don't seem gay
I said naw, that's dude from NSYNC'e
She wasn't married, kept her ring on her pinky
She said, "You know I don't be datin' rappers"
I said, "I got my SAG card, baby, I'm an actor"

[Chorus: George Duke & Common]
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you, with—

But I'll be there beside you, with—
(Uh, she said, "Don't break my heart")
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you

You, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, yeah)
You— you, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, uh)

[Verse 2: Common]
Seen her again at All Star weekend, she ain't have tickets
And she ain't into hoopers, she was there to kick it
With her roommate who was a video vixen
Spent so much on outfits, she about to get evicted
Said, "I'm married to this rap shit, lookin' for a mistress"
You can be by my side like Flavor and Delishiss
Long as you ain't scared of the kitchen and the dishes
She said, "You one of them fishes, I know your mind switches", and

[Chorus: George Duke & Common]
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you, with—
(She said, "Don't break my heart")
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you, with—
(Uh, she said, "Don't break my heart")
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you
With lots of love to give— (G-give it, uh)
You, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, yeah)
You— you, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, uh)
You, love to give— (G-give it, yeah)

[Verse 3: Common]
Time revolve, we fell in love as crazy as Nas
And them broads was textin' 'cause I stop callin' 'em
I met the parents, watch the game with her father and
Questions of marriage and I start dodging' 'em
What happen to me happens to lots of men
Get deep in love and then you're needin' some oxygen
As far as wives I was thinkin' like Solomon
She said, "There you go, breakin' my heart again!"
[Chorus: George Duke & Common]
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you, with—
(She said, "Don't break my heart")
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you, with—
(Uh, she said, "Don't break my heart")
Surely you'll break my heart
But I'll be there beside you
With lots of love to give— (G-give it, uh)
You, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, yeah)
You-you, love to give— (G-give it, uh, g-give it, uh)
You, love to give— (G-give it, yeah)

Surely you'll break my heart
