Lovely Bliss

When I tell you I love you, you never say a thing You have no idea how much that scares me See, most brothas’ don’t want a commitment And us sistas’ we seem so down with it And I just realized For the very first time That all I ever wanted was a dude like you Yeah, just like you I tried to protest and stop this from happening I even told you, now here I am again I find you speaking to me at times And yes I realize That I am in a trance, A deep dazed consciousness And I’m thinking about this thing And I’m wondering, are you at all in love with me But perhaps since you’ve not said those words In which I would never try to coerce That you’re not in love with me at all And we’re just friends and I’ve got a lot of gall And a whole lot of nerve to ever even fall Hopelessly and madly in love with you man You see I’ve got a bunch of bags Albeit, without your love I’m truly sad However you’re cool to have around So yes, I am one of those sistas’ that continues to be down No commitment I’m wit’ it Just let me breathe your air And occasionally into your eyes stare And though you never say it’s with me that you’re in love I often sit and ponder over whether or not those words will ever come I used to have 99 problems and a dude wasn’t one But since I met you, you’ve become most of ‘em Damn, Why I gotta’ love, I wish I could only like Be happy with the minimal and the sex all night But that’s not the case and we’re dealing with reality Though, the idea of you not being in love with me has got me feeling melancholy So from here on out I’ll keep my love in my mouth Mind my L’s and my V’s And I’ll just have to sustain the lovely bliss of being in love with me.
