HER
Lazy gray, what’d you do today? Did you sit awake inside all day? Closed mouth, closed eyes One thing only on your mind One speck of flesh and one flash of pearl From her, your world, your girl Hear her tone, you love her clothes Her toes, her glow, her soul If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me Lazy eyes, don’t be surprised Can’t keep on telling yourself lies Forehead folds, wrinkled nose Stuck in thought waiting to grow Then one glimpse of lace and one salty taste Of her, you world unfurls Feel your prize, you love her size Her thighs, her eyes, her cries If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me If you could only see the light shining before your eyes And realize that light is me Oh I’d give you my love if you give me your heart Wrapped up with a bow in a box I’d give you my love if you give me your heart Be patient and true from the start GROW I’m sorry to you for the things I do I know that I’m in your face and I can be rude Oh this attitude I’ve had my whole life But as years pass by I become more aware and I try Take in the world around me and know Not to stagnate myself but instead grow Oh intolerance is ignorance Open your mind, don’t end up frozen in time Pop that bubble encompassing your head Become more aware and try Take in the world around you and know Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow Take in the world around you and know Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow This is just a first hand narrative Don’t take it from me, you’ll find, you’ll find out as you live Take advice, especially from you friends Become more aware and try Take in the world around you and know Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow Take in the world around you and know Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow WASTED Why didn’t I see, you didn’t wanna be with me You went away a long, long time ago You wanted me but you couldn’t protect my soul You went away a long, long time ago And I feel you're wasted You know you fucked me again And I feel you're fake and You know you’re stuck in the middle Why didn’t I see, you didn’t wanna be with me You went away a long, long time ago You wanted me but you couldn’t protect my soul You went away a long, long time ago And I feel you're wasted You know you fucked me again And I feel you're fake and You know you’re stuck in the middle S.O.B.

Do you recall how you’d look in my eyes? Your hand so soft, slowly creeping up my thighs The jokes, the laughs, we always got each other Kind man, big heart, best friend, puzzle piece lover Oh, you went away before you shoulda gone You were around so long And I know that you love me Our energy flows from soul to soul So why’d you have to go? STUCK ON YOU Oh my, what do I do? I’m so tired of the color blue Been so long since I’ve smiled in the mirror Bored of everything around me to Every time I feel good you keep coming around Every time I look up you make me look back downYou know you’re no good and you poison my soul But when I turn to leave, I can’t let go Oo, I’m stuck on you Oh no, I’m stuck on you Oh dear, what’s gotten into me? I should be thankful someone loves me I have someone to hold me through the night Oh but no, no no, he hasn’t done that lately Every time I feel good you keep coming around Every time I look up you make me look back down You know you’re no good and you poison my soul But when I turn to leave, I can’t let go Oo, I’m stuck on you Oh no, I’m stuck on you Oh brain stirs with emotion Should I turn and walk away or give devotion? Oh, it’s what you do to me I’m in a haze, I can’t see Gotta stop fooling around I wish I could share this with my own man Yah he’s got a good heart but he don’t understand What it means to accept and nurture a soul Oh I wish I could leave, but I can;’t let go Oo, I’m stuck on you Oh no, I’m stuck on you Oh I’m stuck on you Oh I’m stuck on you Stuck on you Stuck on you Oh I’m stuck on you |
