[Olu Dara & Cassandra Wilson]
Used to be foxy, long legs carried my heart to you
Eyes are sparklin' like they always did, in the moonshine
You took me swimmin' in the neverending sea of you
Oh honey do, innocent of the little things you used to do to me
Used to be tender, a precious flower patch
Used to be
Used to be, used to be

What happened to my ruby?
Oh, what happened to my precious?
Used to be, used to be the one
Used to be the one
Used to be an apple, now you an apple pie, warmer

Used to be full of life, life was a mystery
We found it, we found it together, together
A majestic butterfly with no accent written on your thigh
Oh honey do what you, your fine flower patches
You surprise me
Used to be, used to be

What happened to my ruby?
What happened to my rhythm?
What happened to my precious, precious?
Used to be, used to be the one
Used to be an apple, and now you an apple pie, ah, warmer
Used to be, and still you are
And now you my baby
Now you're my baby
And now you my baby
