This is a special song for you shorty   Cause I think you forgot how it started out   And I'm about to take you way back   To our once upon a time   (Once upon a time, oh)   Yeah   (Once upon a time)   Do you remember how we used to look at each other?   (Once upon a time)   Talk to each other, psh I remember      Now it seems to me   You're living in a dream world, fantasy   In love with a nigga that can never be   What I can be   (Ya think ya ballin' now)   But do you recall?   Us bus riding, window shopping at the mall   We were broke as a nigga but we had it all   We had it all   I'm here to remind you of our      1 - Once upon a time, oh   Once upon a time   Once upon a time, oh   (Once upon a time)   Once upon a time, oh   (I remember when)   (You came into my life)   Once upon a time   (Making love all night)   Once upon a time, oh   (Once upon a time)   As time goes on      Now we made some dough   But separate not together   Like we planned it all   So how it all became was   What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours   What the hell were we thinking?   If I could read your mind   I'd reach into your heart and soul   To find the love that was missing   Left so far behind, so far behind   I'm here to remind you of our      Repeat 1      Take it to the bridge now   Oh, oh, oh   I don't think you feel me baby?   Oh, oh, oh   Once upon a time   Hold on, hold on baby   And do you remember?   Running up your mama's phone bill baby   Didn't wanna hang up for nothing   And it's a quarter to three   Kept on talking for hours   Till we both fell asleep      Once upon a time, oh   (Just think about it, think about it)   Once upon a time   (Whoa)   Once upon a time, oh   (I'm gon take you back right now)   (To the bus pass days)   Once upon a time, oh   (Now do you remember?)   Once upon a time   (Standing on the bus stop with me baby)   Once upon a time, oh   (We had no fancy cars and no diamond rings)   (No credit cards, no bling, bling)
