She Just Wanna Love Him
The clock on his wall falls behind the hour
cause in his life - the timings all wrong
and in his mind - desires swing strong
for a feeling unyielding
a love unshielidng
a touch not bending to the laws of physics
he's physically and visibly lonely...see
all things lawful ain't beneficial
and all things pretty ain't superficial
just initial.
he's got to go beyond the shiny surface
the smile that's nervous
define the purpose
and rationalize its existence
freak persisitence
the early bird gets the worm
and he ain't moving fast enough
he can't give his past enough room to die gracefully
heart to heal faithfully
her to shine tastefully
cause she just wanna love him
but the second hand won't keep the beat
lonely man won't move his feet
doomed to repeat
a loveless life running behind the time...
...it's half past hello
and a quarter till goodbye
and he still can't figure out why he's alone.

what ya gotta say
Stupid
it's amazing how you can make me feel soo special and soo stupid
at the same time
and how i can put i love you and i hate you in the same rhyme
and not be lying
or even tryin to win the crowd over
or get em' hyped
see, this is just my life
and the reason i write
s to express how i feel
and right now...right now, i'm ill
with the worst case of free will possible
see it's possible that i
chose to make that trip to see you
even tho it wasn't smart
and i chose to let you continue to speak
tho words you spoke pierced my heart
and i chose to pick up the phone to call
but i swear i didn't choose to fall
in love
i...wasn't suppose to fall...in love
cause in love, is where hurt resides
and in love, is where pain subsides
and in love, is where tears are cried
so maybe i lied when i said i could forget the things that happened that day
and maybe i lied when i said i could forget the things i heard you say
but its not that easy to forget the way
you looked as tho you wanted me to stay
land i know i wanted you to stay
but we both knew we couldn't stay
so no matter how much i try to pretend
i...am not...ok
cause i fully understand now that
i love you
and you love me
but you love her
and i ain't her
so we can't beand since i see
so clearly
why can't i see my way out of this foggy situation
and if i'm so smart, where is all my education
cause no matter how many times i compute the equation
one plus one plus one don't equal happy
it equal hopeless
so unless one drop out the picture
three is a crowd
and i'm not about kissing faces...in secret places...worried about leaving traces
i'm about honesty
and honestly
it's amazing to me how you can make me feel
soo special and soo stupid at the same time
and how i can put i love you and i hate you in the same rhyme
and not be lying
or even tryin to win the crowd over
or get em' hyped
see, this is just my life
and the reason i write
is to express how i feel and right now...right now, i'm ill
with the worst case of i'd kill
to be anywhere else but here right now
and i'd steal to be anyone else but me right now
cause right now, i'm confused
and i can't blame it all on you
but next to me on the wall of shame
you know its got to be your name
cause i ain't get here by myself
see i ain't send gifts to myself
and i ain't make my own self smile
and my own numbers i ain't dial
i wasn't holding my own hand
and i ain't act like my own man
and i fo sure ain't kiss myself
so if blame is like money i'm sharing the wealth
cause i'm rich with it
and i'm sick of it
and like baby fat i'm thick with it
i know i was wrong, i see my fault
and i've learned my lesson, consider me taught
but will...i...apply it
and when you tell me i love you will i deny it
or like the bum who finds change, will i just buy it
cause drama-free love ain't exactly in my diet
how can you stand there and make me feel soo special and soo stupid
at the same time
special cause you treat me like i'm yours
and stupid cause i know you ain't mine
special cause you catch all my tears
but stupid cause you're the reason i cry
special cause i know you really care
but stupid cause i know they'll come a time
when all your love for me and all you've done for me
will amount to me
writing 'congratulations on your engagement'
in a card that i don't want to send
from a heart that i don't want to mend
from a love that i don't want to end
but because you're my friend
i'd want nothing else but to see you happy
and if she makes you happy
why...am i...not happy?
so now every time you talk to me
i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid
and now every time you smile at me
i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid
and now every time you look at me
i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid
until one day, no matter what it is you do, i'm gonna feel
no special...and all stupid
i'm gonna feel
no special...and all stupid
but until that day comes,
i'm just gonna have to be stupid
cause its' stupid to love you
...but i do.

Fallen Star
She once was a star, but she’s fallen
- Star
She fell so far, she fell so deep
She couldn’t see where she was going,
Poor star,
Never knowing
the consequences of her flight,
Young star,
Steadily losing her light,
but she’s fallen,
Lost her place in the sky,
and although I never did Understand why,
She just kept falling,
Faster and faster,
until finally they cast her
From her position in the night,
Why I’d never seen a star with quite so little light
And it was so sad to see this little star falling,
...fallen
Falling away so very far.
This star needed help,
this star needed light,
But who’d think to guide a star through the night?
The others there were also dull stars,
And the blind leading the blind don’t get very far.
If only this star had held on to her light,
She could have avoided her fatal plight.
This star stayed in darkness till the end of her time,
Cause don’t nobody want
A star that don’t shine.

Love or Lust
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating
us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love to me,
But tell me, are you in love with me?
Cause you could just be in love with my body,
My mind and my heart, you don't care to see.
And if that's the case, then I will set you free,
And you can make love to just anybody.
Cause what kind of woman would I truly be,
If I let you think that you could play me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love to me,
But brotha, are you in love with me?
Cause why should I give up my virginity
So you can fulfill your sick fantasy?
My purpose in life isn't for me to be
A crash course in how to make a baby.
And if you think differently, your truly naïve
It's a shame that you don't care to see the real me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love with me,
But lover, are you in love with me?
Cause I don't believe in those one night flings,
Or brotha's who only desire "that thing".
Cause if that's the case you can trace magazines,
Hang out in pageants and date beauty queens,
Cause honestly for me you can't do a thing,
I'm only into brotha's who are only into me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.

Love the Tears Away
Black man,
I wanna love your tears away
Kiss your pain
And hug your sorrow.
Let me rock your fears to sleep
Sing away your cares
Hold you till tomorrow.
Can I see inside your mind
Then go back in time
Erase what made you cry.
And I see what your eyes see
Set your passions free
Love the tears away.
I wanna creep into your heart
Fill the void love left
And mend it with my soul.
Let me bring the dark to light
Hold your hand up high
And make your troubles go.
Won’t you come to me inside
Let me boost your pride
Hold me in your arms.
While I gently brush your cheek
As we fall asleep
I loved your tears away.
