I Love Her Again Lyrics – J. Cole

[Intro: J. Cole]
Let’s get it

[Chorus: J. Cole & Common, & Both]
Yo, I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)
I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write), yeah

[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Back whеn I was just a jit hanging on the strip (Boom)
She’s the girl that I would see in еvery n!ggas whip (Boom)

I was much too young to truly know what constitutes
The difference between a girl next door and a prostitute
I heard some older brothers say they knew her from before
She lost her common sense when n!ggas brought her out on tour, yeah
She’s all about the money now, they labeled her a wh*re
I heard what they was saying, but to me she seemed pure, yeah
‘Cause all I seen was beauty on her face when she would pass, yeah
I wanted to date her, but there was no way for me to ask (Huh)
‘Cause I was just a younging and she’s ripping and a running
But I knew when I get older that one day we meet at last (Huh)
I went to college in New York ’cause I heard she was dead, yeah
But when I got to town, I swear it’s like she disappeared
I went to hit the tunnel where they said that she would hang
But when I got off the train, I saw that it been closed for years, yeah
I showed a picture to this kid, like, help me find her, yo, yeah
He looked and said, man, she just left a little while ago
I saw her with some luggage on the way to JFK
When I asked what she was doing, she said, “Moving to the A” (Fu*k)

[Interlude: J. Cole]
Moving to the A (Fu*k)
Fu*k (Fu*k)
Oh, my God
Aight, I’m up
I’ma get up

I never

[Chorus: J. Cole & Common, & Both]
Yo, I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)
I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)

[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Yeah, my heart was broken, dawg, I wanted to be where she was at
But I was happy in a way, the South was on the map, yeah
But n!ggas in the barbershop ain’t feel the same as me
They said, “Shorty changed since she left the city”
She got whacked, they wanted her back (Huh)
But said it sound like she was trapped (Huh)
They hated the slang she used, the way her fingers snapped (Huh)
It’s funny how the tables turned several years later
These would be the same dudes that started saying s*it was cap
But I was still in love with her, I couldn’t hide that fact
I found her on the internet, kept up with her like that
I sent a lot of messages, she finally wrote me back
When I dropped the mixtape, she said she liked the way I rap
And that was all I needed, booked a flight and it was on
The first night I’m striking like some lightning in a storm
The more noise she made, it’s like the better I perform
But it was more than s*xual, we had a deeper bond
Love, she’s why I put my truth into a song
For years we told each other everything that’s going on
She said, “I gotta tell ya, I done rocked a lot of fellas
But with you there’s something special, I think you could be the one”
Now when it comes to love, jealousy will often creep
That type of games is why two of my homies start to beef
To both of them she said, “You’re the best I ever had”
And the whole time that b!tch was saying that type of s*it to me (Fu*k)

[Chorus: J. Cole & Common, & Both]
Yo, I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)
I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)

[Verse 3: J. Cole]
Yeah, huh, I was naive to believe she was mine when I bagged her
‘Cause I would come to learn that none of us could truly have her
She was for the streets, I’ll never be her only man
I couldn’t believe it when I seen her with an OnlyFans
When I clicked the link inside the bio of her ‘Gram
I saw a version of her that I couldn’t understand
Implants, surgically enhanced details
Popping perks, mumbling while twerking BBL
I’m thinking it’s the b!tch that used to tell me be yourself
All of a sudden for the wealth she’s becoming someone else
That’s when I realized as I started looking back
The older that she gets, the younger she be tryna act
In fact, I’m thinking that’s gonna always be the case
As long as she’s alive, it’s younger n!ggas that she’ll chase
But I was in my feelings so I called her out of name
Like, “B!tch you dead to me and when the fu*k you gon’ change?”
She screamed, “You got the nerve to say that I switched
You turned me from your main thing to your side b!tch
It seemed like every day you was blowing kisses to me
But years went past, now you don’t even listen to me”
At first I was defensive, “B!tch, listen how you sound
So many n!ggas fu*ked you, now your pu*sy’s watered down”
But the more I thought about her quotes, she was right
There was a time when she was on my phone day and night
Singing songs to me that I heard a time or two
Some were kinda old and some were kinda new
But you’ll see how it is getting older, raising kids
All that spending time and listening to her is hard to do
But, yo, I need to stop judging and accept her
The problem from the start is I was just tryna to possess her
And have her for my own, didn’t wanna let her roam
Mama said, “You should’ve known she was like that when you met her”

[Chorus: J. Cole & Common, & Both]
Yo, I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Damn, she was kinda like that when I met her
Gotta be something for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)
I guess I just kind of see her, I gotta love her for her

[Outro: J. Cole & Common, & Both]
So I’m tryna make amends
We reminisce on old times and play the latest trends
As long as she’s alive I know I’ll always have a friend
Thank God I think I’m falling back in love with her again
I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)
Gotta be something for me to write this
