[Chorus]
|
[Erykah Badu]
|
There are times.. when you'll need someone..
|
I will be by your side..
|
There is a light, that shines,
|
Special for you, and me..
|
|
I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
|
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
|
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
|
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
|
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
|
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
|
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
|
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
|
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
|
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
|
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
|
If relationship is effort I will match your work
|
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
|
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
|
.. to the most, high
|
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yo, yo, check it
|
It's important, we communicate
|
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
|
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
|
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
|
Few understand the union of woman and man
|
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
|
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
|
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
|
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
|
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
|
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall
|
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
|
So I pray everyday more than anything
|
friends will stay as we begin to lay
|
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
|
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually
|
Granted we known each other for some time
|
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
|
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
|
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
|
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh
|
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
|
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
|
You know to give me space when it's time to
|
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
|
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence
|
The time we committed love it was real good
|
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
|
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
|
it's how I must treat you
|
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
|
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
|
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
|
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace
|
|
[Chorus]
