[Intro: Xscape & LaTocha]
I will always love you
Hoo, hoo, I will love you
Hoo, hoo, I will love you
Hoo, hoo, I will love you
Hoo, hoo, I will love you

[Verse 1: Kandi]
You were the first to take my heart
Make me happy, at the same time make me cry
Show me a lot of things I never knew that I had inside
Late night phone conversations of you
Telling me what you wanna do
Then we argue all night about who's been sleeping with you, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: LaTocha]
No matter what people say
It don't change the way I feel (Change the way I feel)
And no matter how much we fuss and fight
I gotta keep it real with myself
'Cause as bad as I wanna leave
It's the hardest thing for me
I can keep trying to act like I don't care
But deep down inside I ain't going nowhere

[Chorus: Xscape & (LaTocha)]
I will always love you
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away (Go away, no)
I will always love you (You know I will)
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away
[Verse 2: Kandi]
You were the first to see my body, body
Give me gifts and all types of real nice things
I used to tell you how much I loved you
And in return you would do the same
I've had so many lonely days
Ever since you upped and went away
I can't help but wonder where you're at
Hoping one day you'll be back, baby

[Pre-Chorus: LaTocha]
No matter what people say
It don't change the way I feel (No, it don't)
And no matter how much we fuss and fight
I got to keep it real with myself
'Cause as bad as I wanna leave
It's the hardest thing for me (It's so hard)
I can keep trying to act like I don't care
But deep down inside I ain't going nowhere

[Chorus: Xscape]
I will always love you
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away
I will always love you
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away
[Bridge: Xscape]
Hoo, hoo, I will love you
Hoo, hoo, I will love you

You know, baby, I love you
Respectfully, I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
But no one, no one
Can make me feel the way you do

[Chorus: Xscape]
I will always love you
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away
I will always love you
No matter how many things you try to do or say
Certain things just don't go away

[Outro: LaTocha]
Ooh, you know that
'Cause you know that I'd rather have you, you
'Cause you know that, 'cause you know that...
