[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Feelin' fresh, walkin' down the block,
'Bout to see my boo, it's about six o'clock.
Love is love, it'd been a long time comin',
Nine long years, I know she missed my loving,
Huggin', kissin' and the scent of the kid,
She gonna fall out when she see me at the crib.
Ding-dong, can I speak to Bamboo?
It's me Penelope, stop actin' a fool!
She said, “Damn! I thought you was dead.
Not a phone call? Not a card in the mail?»
For real, a phone call? Stop!
You know I had to up and leave,
I told you I'll be back, girl, but you ain't believe.
She told me nine was too long, and she got a new man,
One who gon' stay and hold it down for the fam,
So scram, there's no more love for the kid.
So I turned my head down and walked away from the crib.
[Chorus:]
[Kandace Springs:]
Loved so many times,
I've been alone so long,
Had to pull myself together,
Find my heart a brand new home.
Got a good thing going on,
Can't let you mess with my flow,
Too little, too late,
Love don't live here no more.
[Ghostface Killah:]
Love is love, Tony's back up on the Isle,
Gone for nine years like nine months to a child.
[Kandace Springs:]
Cried so many times.
[Ghostface Killah:]
Where's my boo at? I need to see Bamboo,
I got a lot of things on my mind to explain to you.
[Kandace Springs:]
Love don't live here no more,
Love don't live here no more.
[Ghostface Killah:]
It's like that? Okay, then where you put all my stuff at then? You know, I thought, you know, I swear he's, he been doin' this for too long, I done came home, you got another man, you know what?
[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
Oh, word? So you over it? That's absurd shit,
I never did a damn thing to deserved it,
This is a man's world, I go away, come home lookin' for you,
Now you fuckin' up the plans, girl.
You another man's girl, that ain't kosher,
Once you see the kid's face you're supposed to
Drop what you're doin', show your loyalty and love,
Step out on the porch with a kiss and a hug,
Yo, you buggin'!
[Chorus:]
[Kandace Springs:]
Loved so many times,
I've been alone so long,
Had to pull myself together,
Find my heart a brand new home.
Got a good thing going on,
Can't let you mess with my flow,
Too little, too late,
Love don't live here no more.
[Ghostface Killah:]
Love is love, Tony's back up on the Isle,
Gone for nine years like nine months to a child.
[Kandace Springs:]
Cried so many times.
[Ghostface Killah:]
Where's my boo at? I need to see Bamboo,
I got a lot of things on my mind to explain to you.
[Kandace Springs:]
Love don't live here no more,
Love don't live here no more.
[Ghostface Killah:]
Just can't understand, you know. I treated you, I gave ya everything you wanted. You knamsayin', and it's like you got another dude layin' in the bed, wearin' my robes, wearin' you out, I know I was gone but, damn! I just can't get it, baby. But I loved you, though, man, and I still do, though.
[Outro:]
Oh, shit! This nigga's home. Shit ‘bout to get crazy.
