Lust Or Love

I keep explaining to myself And wondering how to approach you 'Cause the body of you is so sexy girl The way you're shaped And the stare from your eyes- It's like the cream to my dark coffee Making it a smooth brown The same brown of your skin- The skin that wraps your soul within The same skin that makes me want to commit the sin The same sin that starts with the lust of my flesh, the lust of my eyes, and the pride of my life And to hold you And you ask me is it my lust or love for you It's the love The love that's true The same love that makes not one that makes one that gives us two But the two that makes one then gives us two The two that's called doors Either love and hate But girl to love me is to hate me To hate me for leaving But to leave is caused lust And lust opens nothing but the eyes of deceit But to hold you Yet you still ask me is it my lust or love for you Girl - it ain't nothin' but true love The love that not only our hearts - But our souls share See, for a heart to be a soul in itself is foolish But to be connected with another by love is love The same love that's true The love I have for you But you still ask me is it my lust or love for you? Ppsshh - But then again Hearin' myself explain Explain the differentiation of our equation- The equation of our love I believe to hold you for eternity as more than a friend The same eternity as the end The one that's worthwhile to spend I don't trust myself with you In a love that's not true So then I ask myself - is it my lust or love for you?
