From Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill (1998) - Track 09 - Featuring Mary J. Blige. Lyrics:
Now I don't, I used to love him,
Now I don't, now I don't
Lauryn (Mary in background):
As I look at what I've done
The type of life that I've lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses and blurred my sight
And I used to love him
Chorus:
I used to love him, (but) now I don't
Now I don't
I used to love him, (but) now I don't
Now I don't
Mary (Lauryn in background):
I chose the road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
Lauryn:
See torn and confused wasted and used
Mary:
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Lauryn:
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
Mary:
For something to happen that just wouldn't fated
Lauryn:
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
Mary:
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Lauryn:
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
Mary:
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
Chorus:
Now I don't
I used to love him, (but) now I don't
Now I don't
I used to love him, (but) now I don't
Now I don't
Lauryn:
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife
Mary:
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean
Lauryn:
See my soul was weary but now it's replenished
Mary:
Content because that part of my life is finished
Lauryn:
I see him sometimes in the look in his eye
Mary:
Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold
Lauryn:
But my heart is gold see I took back my soul
Mary:
And totally let my creator control
Lauryn & Mary:
The life which was his (x4) to begin with...
Chorus:
Now I don't
I used to love him, now I don't
Now I don't
I used to love him, now I don't
Now I don't
(repeated till end)

If Billie Holiday and Nina simone were to ever duet, it would have sounded something like this.

"Watch these rap niggaz get all up in your guts
French-vanilla, butter-pecan, chocolate-deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin touched
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up"
