Yo, I'm trippin' right, I heard you got married
You got married, that don't really make any
It don't really make any sense, I mean it's not like I
I didn't think you were seein' other people or whatever

I mean, I was seein' other people but
You know what this is, you know what it was
You, I can't say I really understand though

You chose her 'cause she's sweet as pie
Take what you give, even your life
But baby, are happy without me

She scrubs your back, washes your clothes
Gives you everything that you ask for
But don't you ever want more
'Cause my love

My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice

What we have don't need no words
Deeper than anything you ever heard
I ain't reachin', baby, I know I should be your lady

You say you're happy, you say you're great
But you know and I know you really ain't
You need to come be with me
That's the way it's supposed to be

My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice

'Cause oh, all I ever do is think about you, baby
I hold you in my arms inside my dreams
And I know what I know and what I know is
That no matter where you go, you will always think of me

My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice

My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn't you know this or didn't you notice
