Mi Corazon

(album: Livin' In The City - 2005)

It was late one night, up in Washington heights
I was on my own and that wasn't too bright
The stage was set and I came collecting
Picking up a debt not worth mentioning
I used to love a girl from just this block
We used to rock to salsa and salsa to rock
You know how shit goes, time ticks and tocks
If you asked me if I love her, I'd have to say lots
Back to the story, I was out on the stoop
With a man in a headlock, getting my loot
I thought I heard my name and I quickly turned around
My heart just froze and I couldn't make a sound
In just one moment my whole vibe changed
It was the love of my life and she really looked the same
And when I say the same I really mean better
And when I say better, I mean you'd never forget her

Mi corazon
Mi corazon

Mi corazon

When our eyes met, I knew how much I'd hurt her
I traded money for love and went even further
I started drinking a lot and abusing myself
She loved me but left me, couldn't do nothing else
Three years has passed, I always think about her
Never loved nobody else, probably never will
I asked her about her life, tried to turn the page
She laughed in my face, said act your age
I said "this ain't no rap, I care about you"
She said she liked the lyrics, but they wouldn't do
She said she loves me but it kills her, all right?
She found another man, gonna become his wife
I said "that's crazy! you're fooling yourself!"
"He ain't better than you" she said, turned around and left
Family never founded, she's just walking away
I'll be here when you need me, my heart is that way
