[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
True baby for I adore

[Verse 1: LL Cool J]
This is hard to say
I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way
'Cause lately I been busy a lot
And I know you don’t feel appreciated and what not
I used to tell you that you're hair looked fly
Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes
Now I talk real foul and slick
Every other sentence is, "You make me sick"
Back in the days I was your number one pick
Now your heart's half-broken and that’s hard to fix
I had to dig deep inside myself
'Cause I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else
It's a long journey back to thе place we was
When I was too еmbarrassed to admit I was in love
And you was my good girl that wouldn't give it up
I can't let us self-destruct

[Chorus: Marc Dorsey]
Baby smile today
'Cause I been imaginin’ more ways
I’m gon' love you better
When your friends’ll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon’ love you better
[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
When I think about the things we did
And I think about you having my kids
And I think about us sharing a crib
Losin' all that, God forbid
You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things
In addition to the SL's, baguettes and rings
Instead I walk around like I'm a king
And having you ain't nothing but a thing
I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good
Too busy frontin' in the hood
Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go
I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow
One more chance baby and don't say no
'Cause I got another side to show
Some say love is painful it helps you grow
Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know

[Chorus: Marc Dorsey]
Baby smile today
Cuz I been imaginin' more ways
I'm gon' love you better
When your friends'll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon' love you better
[Bridge: LL Cool J & Pharrell Williams]
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together

[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
It's a brand new me, a brand new you
A brand new day, sky so blue
Hold my hand while I walk with you
Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you
No more games callin' you foul names
Actin' like females is all the same
I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed
From this day forward I'll never be the same
I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams
I love you, lemme show you what I mean
Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen
Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene
A toast to the queen, you're back in my life
But this time I'ma do it right
Trust me, from the bottom of my heart
Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise
[Chorus: Marc Dorsey]
Baby smile today
Cuz I been imaginin' more ways
I'm gon' love you better
When your friends'll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon' love you better
Baby smile today
Cuz I been imaginin' more ways
I'm gon' love you better
When your friends'll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon' love you better

[Bridge: LL Cool J & Pharrell Williams]
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
Do you think I meant to hurt you? No
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together

[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
True baby for I adore

[Skit]
Do you have a favorite and why?
I kinda like, uh–
I kinda like, "Paradise"
I got a record called "Paradise"
"Paradise?" What's that about?
