Dendera (Arabic: دندرة Dandarah; also spelled Denderah, ancient Iunet,Tentyris or Tentyra) is a small town and former bishopric in Egypt situated on the west bank of the Nile, about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Qena, on the opposite side of the river. It is located approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of Luxor and remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
At a rather isolated place at the edge of the desert, about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south-west of the modern town, lies what Dendera is famous for, a mostly Greco-Roman temple complex known in ancient Egyptian as Iunet or Tantere. The modern Arab town is built on the ancient site of Ta-ynt-netert, which means 'She of the Divine Pillar.' In the Greek era, the town was known as Tentyra. It was once the -modest- capital of the 6th Nome (Pharaonic province) of Upper Egypt, and was also called Nikentori or Nitentori, which means 'willow wood' or 'willow earth'. Some scholars believe the name derives from the sky and fertility goddess Hathor, also associated with the Greek Aphrodite, who was especially worshiped there. The official deity of the city was a crocodile. Crocodiles were also venerated as deities in other Egyptian cities, which gave rise to many quarrels, notably with Ombos.

[Verse 1:]
It'd taken me forever to call, I needed a little while
You know that being emotional usually ain't my style
But since it's just me talking to you, there's a side that I wanna show
Cause if I can't come to you, where else can I go?
Ever since we been apart boy life ain't fair
Remember when you left, remember what I said
I said that I didn't care
Yes I said a lot of things, but half of them I didn't mean
And right now I couldn't be more sinceer, listen to me
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I remember when you told me that you love me (ooh ooh ooh)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
[Verse 2:]
The fussin and fightings on you,
Yes there were things I did wrong, but still you had your faults
And at times you couldn't take truth
I swore that I was in control, just knew I was invincible
But two or three months alone and I just wanted you back home
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (ooh boy you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (yes you did, yes you did)
I remember when you told me that you love me (oh boy)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy (me-e ooh)
[Bridge:]
... baby I miss you... and when I see you with her
All I do is... and put the blame all on myself (yea, heh)
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy(it was the moment you walked away baby, baby)
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (I remember you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (you taught me how to treat somebody sweet)
I remember when you told me that you love me (I remember, do you remember)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
(Me boy, me boy, me boy, ohhh me boy, me boy, me boy
And I would probably still be with you boy, you boy, you boy
Said if I knew everything that I know right now back then
