Ever since I laid eyes on you I felt inside I thought you’d be the one
/ But things change like seasons barely breathing cause the time we
spent here is done / Never thought I’d see you leaving out the door /
The rhythm of your heels tapping on the floor / Red bottoms and the
mask you wore / But how can you love when your heart’s at war? /
I’m feeling like a Trojan on the battleground I had to shake spears /
I’m so poetic with the flow but every time you go you’re drowning in tears /
But to truly love you have to overcome fears / I’m trying to move on and be a
better man but I’m missing you here
Chorus
I got you / Baby I got you / ‘Til you’re used to my face / And my
mystery fades / I got you
Verse II
We never did get to Paris or Rome in Italy / But maybe one day we can
share a life together that’s better for you and me / I’m trying to
write the wrongs of my past life / And I’m trying to get my cash right
/ Can’t remember last night / Cause I’m living the fast life / You
were a fly girl like J-Lo but you get lost when you air heart / So in
plain language those others guys don’t got game but I play smart / I’m
overheads just like a halo / In Prada but you were my angel / It
was a brief run now it’s case closed / But I’m still counting them pesos
Chorus
Verse III
I don’t want to feel no more I just want to numb the pain / But what
more can I give when you are my Novocain / And when I look in your
eyes I see the past and everything in between / I thought this love
would last but I guess I was wrong now you won’t be my queen / I need
intellectual stimulation and not just in the bed / A college girl with
her own thoughts and plus a good head / On her shoulders I want to be
the one you can trust / But we’re both damaged and broken and drowning
in lust / With these photographs in a dark room our nostalgia will
burn / I thought we would develop into something more but you had your
turn / So I’m out here doing my own thing / No bells and no wedding
rings / I get around like the Underground / You won’t ever
hear me sing / In the club watching girls dance / Eyes wide shut and
I’m in a trance / Red lights and silhouettes / Halos and cigarettes /
Enter my world you just might find a passion inside to excite your
mind / A good heart is hard to find blind folds in bed because love is blind
Chorus
