I Tried

I memorize the look in your eyes and how many times you told me Those favorite three words that every girl loves to hear I sit back and reminisce on how many ways and how many times 365 days Past my way that I couldn’t see cause I was… lovin’ you I was sitting here wondering inside my mind which way did the time go Was it up and down like a roller coaster that you emotionally ride me? Was it in and out as you entered and retracted inside me? What about that gig you told me about how my eyes make yours water at the sight of mine? What about that jig you did to get beneath the skin of my o’ so mellow spine Did I tell you about the one before you? You know the one who attempted the same shiit you trying too I been there and when you get back from wherever you lost your mind You will be glad to see that I’ll be sitting here But I won’t be waiting on you cause I’m gon’ get mine Best believe that I got tricks up my sleeve so deep they drain in the cuffs of my pants And while ya little hostess does her song and dance I’ll be livin’ in the lap of luxuries romance Let’s see how many you have tell those favorite three words to To find how many really mean when they say it back to you How many decades have to turn to centuries While I’m not getting any younger my time is valuable to me I want to know how many tunnels you got to drive through Before you see the bright light at the end How much more time is it going to take before you understand it takes a real woman to make a real man
