Usher – My Boo feat.Alicia Keys Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

There's always that one person that will always have your heart
You'll never see it coming 'cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see
Ooh baby, you will always be my boo

I don't know about y'all but I know about us and uh
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know about y'all but I know about us and uh
It's the only way we know how to rock

Do you remember girl, I was the one that gave you your first kiss?
'Cause I remember girl, I was the one who said put your lips like this
Even before all the fame and people screamin' your name
Girl, I was there and you were my baby

It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in your eyes, my boo
Even though we use to argue it's all right, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo

I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine, my boo
When I see you from time to time I still feel like, my boo
You can see it no matter how I try to hide, my boo
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my boo

Yes I remember boy 'cause after we kissed
I can only think about your lips
Yes I remember boy the moment I knew
You were the one I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame and people screamin' your name
I was there and you were my baby

It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in you're eyes, my boo
Even though we use to argue it's all right, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo

I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine, my boo
When I see you from time to time I still feel like, my boo
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide, my boo
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my boo

My oh, my oh, my oh, my oh, my, my boo
My oh my oh my oh my oh, my boo

It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in you're eyes, my boo
Even though we use to argue it's all right, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo

I don't know about y'all but I know about us and uh
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know about y'all but I know about us and uh
It's the only way we know how to rock

My boo
