Love Your Mind

I need to fall in love with your mind
before I consider you worth my time

 Don't get me wrong 
Your body is rockin

But, baby 
This is just how I'm wired
Your mind is what I've desired

Yes,
Physical attraction is required

But, baby
Your mind gets me so inspired
Creativity is what I've admired

Because,
Deep into your mind
I will never get tired

Don't get me wrong
Your body is rockin

But,
I need to fall in love with your mind
Before I consider you worth my time

There is more to a person than what we see, it is those inner workings that make one who they are. Good on you to want to see that part as well as what is advertised in the outside.
