kelis - marathon lyrics

[chorus]
love is this marathon, i'm running for you baby
and you don't know me yet but faith is all i have, see
and i'm gonnnaaaaa
win this race [x2]

[verse 1]
since i were a little girl
my eyes were fixed on you
i knew that one day we'd meet
that you could set me free

sure diamond ring, pretty things
a piece of mind, could be all mine
o this growing love affair
has kept me on my feet

[chorus]
love is this marathon, i'm running for you baby
and you don't know me yet but faith is all i have, see
and i'm gonnnaaaaa
win this race [x2]

yesterday i had a glimpse of you
you looked me in my face
and just the other day you brushed right by me
i felt you reeling in my space

tell me, do you think of me
and can you see me from the start
i swear i said i'd wait for you
but fate might change the score

[chorus]
love is this marathon, i'm running for you baby
and you don't know me yet but faith is all i have, see
and i'm gonnnaaaaa
win this race [x2]
