SWV - The Best Years Lyrics
He tapped me on my shoulder, so unexpected
I started to hug him but paused for a second
And that's when he showed me an old picture that he had oh
Then we started talkin' and reminiscin'
And at first I smiled, then I started to remember
That's when I told him
It took me some time to get over you
Had to wrap my head around what I let you do
I was young, I was dumb, I played the fool
But one thing today prove
I gave you the best years of your life (of your life)
Now you wanna get back what you missed
But I cannot forget about what you did
I gave you the best years of your life, your life
I gave you the best years of your life
I ain't gonna lie, for a while I was bitter
Acid to my stomach every time I saw you with 'er
I know she was all those texts and late night phone calls (late night phone calls)
When you had an emergency and rushed out of home
I bet she was on the other side of the phone
Now you stand here saying you love me still (you don't love me)
I guess the grass was greener, yea
It took me some time to get over you
Had to wrap my head around what I let you do
I was young, I was dumb, I played the fool
But one thing today prove
I gave you the best years of your life (of your life)
Now you wanna get back what you missed
But I cannot forget about what you did
I gave you the best years of your life, your life (of your life)
I gave you, yea
I gave you the best years of your life (life)
Baby, ain't nobody gonna love you like I did
You'll never miss a good thing until it's gone forever
You must be out your mind
That she can give you
What you're lookin' for
Cause I know I gave you
I gave you the best years of your life (best years of your life)
Now you wanna get back what you missed
I just cannot forget about what you did
I gave you the best years of your life, your life (of your life)
I gave you, yea
I gave you the best years of your life
Just say it (say it)
I'll do it (I'll do it)
Whatever
Whatever
You're honest, I trust you
Oh, I'll follow you wherever (wherever)
If your love is overseas that's just where I'll be
Be right by your side
Love you all the time
I love you
I love you

SWV The Best Years Comments
This should've been a single!!! Lelee killed her verse and Coko just killed like always then Taj put that stank all over the bridge!!!
This would be considered Taj best sung bridge since "Use Your Heart" 🔥🔥🔥💯
2018 still listening!!
Love this song. Still jams in 2018 and many more years to come
This was an EXCELLENT album!!!! I think their best complete body of work!
Love how all 3 shared the load on this album.
The production was GREAT.
KOCH records shouldve done better promoting!
That interlude is beautiful!!!!
Tajh sings the interlude
I play the interlude more than the song.wish it was longer.
Beautiful voice.
who's still listening in 2017!!!
Thequeen 7 this my jam
2018 here
I like this album better than the new one
I'm right there with you. "The Best Years" is my favorite track from this album.
they music is perfect !
amazing !
Excellent
I must say,WOW! SWV, they are totally original and this new music makes u feel like they never left. support these sister's with voices cause they are back.
bought this album and played the hell out of every track. swv fan from long time all the way in the Bahamas. i remember in school my whole class would sing Weak like it was an anthem.
Love all the songs. SWV is improperly MISMANAGED! SWV can sing or sang anything. Someone is not promoting SWV . But they can promote singers like Ariana Grande that clearly don't sing.
The CD had some nice tracks on it but their Management Sucked Arse and did the worst job promoting them. Plus I've been conviced that record labels don't know what we like or who an artists core fan base is.
I like this song
Their faces be beat....good make-up artists.
Lol facts
So happy..... #swvreunited
@Tameeka Manuel
That last part was sick..
So true Dennis
I disagree. SWV makes tons of money on the road. This new deal with E Mass Apeal is obviously not as lucrative as the one with RCA but they got that chance to record new music and put out another cd. The have performed a lot in 2012 and did some dates in 2013. Three singles were released to the public and the group is still visible as a unit.
This song goes hard! The problem is they had no marketing for this album! Well they got a reality tv show coming!
you can find it online iTunes, target ...
Todas las negras cantan igual xD
It's Great to see these Ladys Come back and Strong at that:-)
taj always look different in pictues
Tru dat bought my CD when it came out nd haven't been able to stop listening to this song
Glad to see my girls still got it
Report it. I had to go to target 4 times for this album & R&B Divas
Can't stop listening to this song. One of my favorities from the cd. Can't help but notice that with this song...Taj's part was the best. Its great she had the part at the end (verse 3). Coko did the Verse 2 parts and the two bridge verses..but with the bridge sounded "off key". Her vocals have changed GREATLY over the years.
SWV still got it. Glad they still blooming and didnt drift to far s a whole......
i sense some of that 90's flava to it..swv keepin it real!
YES YES YES...S.W. freakin' V!!! So glad to see my girls back!!!
so glad, that SWV made another album.. it's music like this, that I sorely miss. I wish more musicians from the 90's, would at least drop another album, like SWV has done. I grew up with them, Guy, Jodeci, Boyz II Men, BBD, etc.. man, I'm so glad they made another album, & are getting back in the music biz..
y i cant find this c .d in stores??????
Thats right girls,bring back the ole school.
I can not believe I'm listening to SWV.
They are a great group. And they are back to give a lesson to this new school = D
Take a risk Koch release this song next instead of all about you.
