[Verse 1]
Everybody thinks I'm going crazy
'Cause I don't even sleep
They say I'm looking weak
But everything they say is true
Girl, I can't make it without you
And I don't know which way to go
Up or down, fast or slow
So I think it's time for me to go away
And I know it sounds crazy
But your not my lady anymore

[Chorus]
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide (oh)
Until you took your love away (way)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride (lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (love away)

[Verse 2]
If I die I know I'd still look over you
Lovin you, forever and forever, no need to
Heaven is not that far away
Heaven is not too far away
I can still see your precious face
Said I might have been a fool, think this way would make you gladder
When I look down on you I can see I made you sad
It's too late for me to change it
Only God can explain it

[Chorus]
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride (I never thought)
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away ('til you took my love away)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Until you took your love away

[Bridge]
I never thought that I would feel this way (never thought I'd feel this way, never never never never)
I never thought anyone could turn my sun away (oh, oh, oh)
Until I fell in love with you (I fell in love with you, baby)
How could you leave me all so smooth
Knowing girl, that I'd never have you

[Chorus]
I never thought
I never thought (never thought)
I'd lose my pride (I would lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (oh, oh, oh)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (way)
I never thought (my baby)
I never thought
I'd lose my pride (I'd lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide (I never thought)
Until you took your love away
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
