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.
