[@hendunomics]

One of the best and saddest love songs ever. Great song

[@sbella6719]

All of the above!

[@minervagalvez4748]

Montell is NOW A PASTOR 🙏🙏🙏🙏 IN A CHURCH IN ATLANTA! AMEN 🙏! AMEN 🙏! AMEN 🙏!

[@onetrickpony8618]

Should've remained an artiste 😒

[@tanyatmr]

People always realize what they had when it's too late. This song/video is an example of losing someone and wanting to get that peson back.

[@Caprisassy]

Grossly underrated song...I love it

[@KINGJAMES-rp3ex]

Very underrated

[@MorabezaEntertain]

A next level of under rated... that beat alone.. R&B at his finest!

[@triciasimone7]

Facts!!! When it first came out 🗣REPEAT!!! AND STILL IN 2020❤

[@moniquewatkins2083]

Frfr no lie 💯

[@sbella6719]

I agree 💯! It was never released as a single or on his album. Something about a 'rights' dispute I think

[@BrooklynBest81]

Every man at some point has to admit there is one woman in there life that they regret playing around or fronting on a woman that he thought was going to be around forever. Where did the real singer-song writers go!

[@aprilwilliams8323]

right

[@shinebrightlikeadiamond5329]

C Davis well he shouldn't never fucked me. fuck the past I'm ur future

[@danielledavis8566]

yes, where did reality r & b go? I miss it. side note: I agree, I think every man has a woman he let go or effed with thinking she'd be around forever til she ended up with another man who recognized her worth & treats her accordingly.

[@CocoaFemme-ch3mn]

C Davis: Women at " a fool" too, you KNOW that don't you? I speak from experience😢😭.

[@shineonnent.7951]

They got killed for they masters lol

[@ryanboltonsr.2292]

[@tee3135]

It don't get more "gangsta" then busting up in that church to get the woman he loves back. That part gave me chills 💯💯💯

[@Jay-ozo1]

Montell has a beautiful voice. I love this song and He should have got more fame because he deserved it!!

[@nathanield2834]

The preacher said speak out or 4ever hold my peace ..😑 I kn..I kn I kn I kn..🎶

[@cameronbaldwin6783]

This was a banger!!! I'm surprised it wasn't a hit because it sounds like something R'Kelly produced and he was hot then.

[@jasongodfrey823]

My favorite Montell Jordan jam!!!

[@williamguyiii8638]

he had a hell of a run

[@hemi08911]

Man MJ had the talent. This song moves me til this day. Wish all the artist of this era just come back and takeover the music industry, because we need the feeling of love and self worth back. Tired of this weak music that's purei

[@georgeduncan3845]

This takes me back to 2003 when I was the main character in the lyrics. don't regret it though, I was young.

[@MyNatboy]

I'm 58 now,and this song still get me weak in my " I should've acted right" mind.

[@RKS4581]

I am a twenty four year old white boy and R&B/Soul is my favorite music. Always has been. This ranks up there. Love you Montel! I was a freshman in high school when that song came out.

[@aoutlaw1981]

This is my song so underrated I swear

[@Leenda72]

I miss music like this. Some music now is garbage.

[@mrznetra]

This man has an amazing voice.However, this song forces you to think about never taking that special someone for granted because they will move on and even though they deep down inside still hold a special place for you in their heart, they have to move on.

[@justinvincent1370]

So much talent. So much soul.We need more of this today.

[@superdaveg8]

This is my ring tone for my wife.....the last 4 years, loved this song from day!!!

[@briancorbin342]

Wow... This is the ultimate she's gone but here is that chance to get her back. A lot of love, regret, passion in this song! Artists of today need to check this out. You can really feel this if you've been there! Perfect video for the song!** Especially when he visualizing himself going in the church to get her back and the realization that he's too late and wishes her well and drives off !!

[@dennisobure8405]

ART; first part he is singing like thru the earpiece...then he beams in! Love the beat too!

[@cigarsmoker5575]

[@tripmega4632]

the hardest part of love is knowing that its over... You can try your hardest but a damage foundation doesn't permit for growth ..... I love her and will always but i cant see myself with somebody i cant trust !!! i listen to this song as way to stay grounded, to being true to love and knowing every one has the right to love but not the right to love you back or the same... I will always love you Elle smh.....

[@JT-br7xg]

[@mizzjacquettaxx6974]

I remember this, montell definitely could sing his ass off on the beat.

[@csonzkafenner5573]

This is my shit. Real music 🎶🎶

[@aGwEENapple]

This song's so mellow and relaxing to listen to because of the beat, even though listening to the lyrics make it kind of a saddening experience too.

[@shontaeb5516]

Montell Jordan flex dem muscles! Although I heard this song before. Never seen this video until now. Gabrielle Union so pretty.

[@jamesbelizaire3892]

Now that how a Music Video should be, you can hear, feel, and SEE emotions in a video. Not random stuff, light show, whatever crap you call it.

[@MrJJ1257]

One of my favorite tracks right here from Montell Jordan

[@sucka4life795]
