[Intro: Buju Banton]
Now what shall I do?
You confess to me that you feel the same way too, girl
Girl come forth and rock my world

[Verse 1: John Legend]
I guess I am not over you, like I thought I was
Guess I was foolin' myself, 'cause I'm still in love
Still in love with you woman
I still have dreams of you and I
Can't get over you woman
No matter how I try
It's drivin' me crazy
Thoughts of you with another man
I'm losin' my lady, so sad I am
I guess I'm not over you, like I thought I was
I guess I was foolin' myself, 'cause I'm still in love

[Chorus: John Legend]
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories

[Verse 2: Buju Banton]
Treasure yuh body but I, cherish yuh mind
Even though it's complicated, which is most of the time
A life without your love ain't workin' out fine
Perception and reality, clearly define
I bet you never know the love mi have inna mi heart
We make simple mistakes, tear us apart
Forgettin' where we comin' from and how it all start
Usin' harsh words, bitter arrows and sparks
We live inna di same house and we nuh talk
We used to be on, now we're totally off
Oh I wish, this was never our past
Oh there is no love lost, know that

[Chorus: John Legend]
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories

[Verse 3: Buju Banton]
Over many moons, since we part
But the memories remain with the love inna mi heart
Care not how many friendships I start
This spot where yuh touch, still tender and soft
To be honest, I do miss the fires and sparks
But I'd rather live on the rooftop or somewhere in a park
But when did we mess up? Realize the blame
She left me a message explaining'her pain
She said, "I tried, even avoid
Surroundin' distractions and outside noise
But we both make mistakes and we both lied
Oh, and now here we are"

[Chorus: John Legend]
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories
Even when I try to not say the things I say
Wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not game to play, yes we went our separate ways
But the memories

Buju Banton

Buju Banton (born Mark Anthony Myrie 15 July 1973) is a Jamaican dancehall, ragga, and reggae musician. Banton has recorded pop and dance songs, as well as songs dealing with sociopolitical topics.

He released early dancehall singles in 1988 but came to prominence in 1992 with two albums, including Mr. Mention, which became the best-selling album in Jamaican history upon its release. Banton signed with major label Mercury Records and released Voice of Jamaica the following year. By the mid-1990s, Banton had converted to the Rastafari faith, and his music undertook a more spiritual tone. His 2010 album Before the Dawn won Best Reggae Album at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards.
