Don't pay me no mind, baby
|
Shine shine shine
|
Don't pay me no mind, sugar
|
Shine shine shine

[Verse 1: Brother Ali]
|
I had seen you when the hosted seated you
|
In a station of mine still I'm taking my time
|
Made sure the moment got seized, made up my mind
|
Through a napkin over my sleeve, straightened my tie
|
Mind if I behold you through the fold of your menu
|
Couture, all up against you, oh lord
|
How could I convince you? I just met you
|
And I'm instantly listening to your instrumental
|
Poor me, I poured water inside your glass
|
For a brief moment our eyes had kind of met
|
I confess, I felt that inside my chest
|
Almost made quite a mess yet I digress
|
I would guess you're meeting a date here
|
I offer, she order hors d'oeuvres while she wait here
|
She brushed her bangs to clear off her face, yeah
|
Parted her lips and turned crab cakes to Shakespeare
|

[Verse 2]
|
The way the lady bait a trap, I'm afraid to ask
|
My imagination act, I run away with that
|
Run away with me, I swear I'm not a maniac
|
I'll give you that pretty diamond ring and last name to match
|
I ain't saying that, I practiced waiting in the back
|
I know I better make it fast before her date get back
|
Yeah, I place her order, grabbed the plate, relaxed
|
Here, let me fix my face get my game in tact
|
Fear, I chased the clock as I can't make it stop
|
I played the waiter job, made it to the table top
|
Time to play your cards, ace got to take your shot
|
Before I could speak he showed up to devastate the plot
|
Her real server showed up, my plan fell through
|
"Sir, are y'all together? Ma'am, can I help you?"
|
She looking puzzled, I stand without words
|
I'm sorry, I don't really work here - awkward
|
|

|
[Verse 3]
|
Let me explain, you see I ain't much for wait and see
|
So when I seen you take a seat I played maitre d'
|
She replied angrily, "Mister, I can't believe
|
You'd stand your grown ass in this place and play games with me
|
Crazy freak, wait, how did you get all that food?"
|
I ordered from the table around the corner and brought it to you
|
Can't say I thought it through, ma'am it's all sort of new
|
But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you
|
And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible
|
So I called an audible, Serve you? I'm honored to
|
I didn't mean to bother you, I just want to watch a few
|
Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do
|
Never mind me, the light from your unusually bright shine blinded me
|
So that was all I could see, (I) understand if you don't want to talk to me
|
I'll just leave, pardon me, I'll just take this little broken heart and leave
|
"Wait, that was a stupid thing to do
|
But my date didn't show up and my table's set for two"
|
I pulled on my coat like, aw look at you
|
That's all I really wanted ma'am enjoy your afternoon
|
I'm through
