I LOVE THE WAY YOU SMILE
ITS LIKE THE SUN CASTING A BRIGHT LIGHT OVER THE MEADOWS
ONLY TO REVEAL FIELDS OF ROSE PETALS & CAST SHADOWS OVER THE GHETTOS.
BUT I'D RATHER SEE A TEAR FALL SO THAT I MAY SEE CLEAR ALL,
OF WHAT YOU'RE FORCED TO CONTAIN, I SEE YOUR HEART STRAINS
TO CONCEAL A PAIN, WHEN YOUR SOUL REVEALS THE SAME.BUT
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN
YOUR MASCARA RUNS DRY, SHOWING TRACES OF SWELLING AROUND YOUR EYES,
& THOSE WEREN'T HICKEY'S ON YOUR ARMS, BUT FINGERTIPS OF HARM,
FROM WHEN SHE TRIED TO KEEP YOU CALM & RESTRAINED YOU
EMOTIONALLY ENSLAVED YOU & YOU, YOU BEHAVED LIKE AN ANGEL.
BABY-GIRL, I KNOW YOUR WOMAN LOVES YOU,
I CAN SEE FROM THE BRUISES ON YOUR NECK, SHE LIKES TO HUG YOU
SHE LIKES TO TOUCH YOU.. BABY ITS EASY TO BE SOFT SPOKEN,
WHEN YOU'RE SO HEART BROKEN, YOU LEFT YOUR HEART & APARTMENT OPENED
ISSUED AN EMOTIONAL EVICTION NOTICE & CLOSED IT
THEN CALLED ALL WOMEN HOPELESS:
SWEETHEART ALL I NEED IS A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN CUZ
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN.
DON'T GIVE UP ON WOMANKIND CUZ YOU AINT HAD A KIND WOMAN
OR YOU HAVEN'T FOUND THE RIGHT WOMAN..
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL FLOWING BANK ACCOUNT
OR A SWEET, SINCERE, SOLDIER BLOWING YOUR BACK OUT?
BECAUSE YOU'RE EYES TELL LIES WITH PHYSICAL BEAUTY DISTRACTIONS
AN IMMATURE MIND CAN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ATTRACTION
& HOW CAN YOU LOVE THIS LOSER MORE AFTER SHE SLAPS & ATTACKS YOU
& IN FRONT OF OTHER WOMEN SHE DAPS YOU INSTEAD OF HUGS YOU
& YOU'RE STILL CONVINCED THIS IS THE CAT THAT LOVES YOU,
BABY I DON'T MEAN TO BUG YOU BUT..
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN.
SEE WHEN YOU MISBEHAVE CLO KNOWS HOW TO SPANK YOU
IN A WAY WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOUR GIRLS, YOU FELL
& SPRAINED AN ANKLE
& I KNOW HOW TO PLAY ROUGH WITHOUT LOSING MY GENTLE TOUCH
& I CAN TELL WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WHEN CRAVE A SOFTER TOUCH
LIKE I KNOW MY ROLE IS DIFFERENT FOR BEING INTO IT & BEING INTIMATE
& YOU'LL NEVER BE WITHOUT A SHELTER WHEN THE WEATHER'S INCLIMATE
I MAY NOT KEEP YOU DRY, BUT I'M WITH YOU WHEN IT RAIN. BABY,
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN.
MOMMY MY SENSITIVITY KNOWS TO HOLD YOU WHEN YOUR MOM'S SICK
& NOT SCOLD YOU OVER CONFLICTS & HOW TO FIND SOLUTIONS &
RESOLUTIONS & FOLLOW THROUGH WITH PROPER EXECUTION INSTEAD OF EXCUSES,
EVEN WHEN YOU TALK UP USELESS FACTS, I BECOME YOUR STUDENT I MEAN:
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A WOMAN LISTENED TO YOUR EVERY WORD
& ASKED YOU TO SPEAK UP AND REPEAT CUZ YOU WEREN'T HEARD OR
STOOD ON THE CURB. AS YOU WALKED IN YOUR HOUSE
I'M TALKING FALLING ASLEEP HOLDING YOU ON THE COUCH & KISSING YOUR
FOREHEAD BEFORE YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OUT I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN
NOW I CAN PUT YOU TO SLEEP & HAVE YOU DREAM ABOUT ME AS I LAY NEXT TO YOU
& MAKE LOVE 143 DIFFERENT WAYS BEFORE EVER HAVING SEX WITH YOU,
& YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO COMPARE SOMETHING I DID
WITH SOMETHING YOUR EX WOULD DO,
THIS IS MORE THAN ABOUT GOING TO BED WITH YOU,
LIKE A BOOK, I WANT TO BE READ WITH YOU & LIKE BLACK WORDS ON WHITE PAGES
BECOME ONE WITH YOU, CAUSE WHEN YOU CALL
I WONT JUST COME BUT RUN TO YOU, AND NEVER SAY I'M DONE WITH YOU,
ALL THE WHILE TREATING YOU LIKE YOU WANT ME TOO..
LIKE TREATING YOU MORE LIKE A QUEEN & LESS LIKE A DAME
CAUSE MY LADY
I CAN LOVE YOU PAST YOUR PAIN.
