Another Song For Love

"Can't nobody love me like you do" [Verse 1] I remember when they used to make love songs, acoustic with drums on Now its like cupid has cuffs on and guns on him, plus starving Behind the barrel is us causing much problems, thus love is uncommon Club songs corrupt moms shakin butts for bucks, thongs and tight jeans A new meaning to chasing pipe dreams But even at nineteen I always tried to do the right thing like Spike Lee And she was like me Gettin beatin by creeps while I was gettin cheated by freaks Proceding to try to be better than those When I met her she was a full grown delicate rose With pedals of gold and I'm lettin her know By saying "Can't nobody love me like you do" [Verse 2] I saw this rose on the sidewalk and I stopped Shocked like it fell out of the sky Watched then I thought, "My God!" A rose with an intoxicating flavour like pot On the concrete standing more perfect than a tripod These are my greatest time slots Should I get a little bit closer? Why not When I did, time stopped And in the midst of a "tick" right beside "tock" Eyes locked, new visions of ribbons and tied knots Over gifts from the most high like forty spliffs Help me to appreciate the corny shit Like the birds and the bees, a pod and two peas Letters from trees plus love bugs in the breeze Who fly together similar to lovers when they lie together Looking alive and living their live like they could die whenever least expected Each second you see them cherish, being parents Repeating this sentence cause they believe in 'marriage' Saying "Can't nobody love me like you do"
