歌词

[00:00.765] Yeah, doo-doo-doo
[00:15.729] Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo, yo
[00:24.304] I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
[00:27.544] Gotta be somethin' for me to write this
[00:30.036] Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
[00:31.904] Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
[00:34.952] Signed, sealed, delivered, for us to grow together
[00:37.368] Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
[00:40.072] I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
[00:42.664] I ain't gon' assault them,'cause I probably did it too
[00:44.986] Because of you, feelings I handle with care
[00:47.333] Some niggas recognize the light
[00:48.752] But they can't handle the glare
[00:49.798] You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts
[00:52.336] If relationship is effort I will match your work
[00:54.785] I want to be the one to make you happiest
[00:56.657] And hurt you the most
[00:57.512] They say the end is near, it's important that we close
[00:59.768] To the most high
[01:01.760] Regardless of what happen, on Him let's rely
[01:04.248] There are times
[01:05.905] When you'll need someone
[01:09.336] I will be by your side
[01:13.161] There is a light that shines
[01:19.488] Special for you and me
[01:23.136] It's important we communicate
[01:26.936] And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
[01:29.345] I never call you my bitch or even my boo
[01:31.776] There's so much in a name and so much more in you
[01:34.496] Few understand the union of woman and man
[01:36.863] And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
[01:39.392] But that's fly by night, for you and the sky I write
[01:41.828] For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
[01:44.124] If Heaven had a height, you would be that tall
[01:46.543] Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
[01:49.095] Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall
[01:51.463] For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
[01:54.055] So I pray every day more than anything
[01:56.335] Friends will stay as we begin to lay
[01:58.399] This foundation for a family, love ain't simple
[02:01.066] Why can't it be anything worth havin' you work at annually?
[02:04.359] Granted we known each other for some time
[02:06.463] It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
[02:08.801] There are times
[02:10.159] When you'll need someone
[02:13.175] I will be by your side
[02:17.367] There is a light that shines
[02:23.587] Special for you and me
[02:27.487] It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
[02:31.151] And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
[02:33.655] Plus you shit pop when it's time to
[02:35.791] Thinkin' you fresh, suggestin' beats I should rhyme to
[02:38.367] At times when I'm lost I try to find you
[02:40.047] You know to give me space when it's time to
[02:42.743] My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
[02:46.039] Truthfully it's hard tryin' to practice abstinence
[02:48.726] The time we committed love, it was real good
[02:51.129] Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
[02:53.535] I know the sex ain't gon' keep you
[02:55.160] But as my equal, it's how I must treat you
[02:57.383] As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
[02:59.859] And whatever's right I'ma feed you
[03:02.511] Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
[03:06.054] Yo, I tell you the rest when I see you; peace!
[03:08.646] There are times
[03:10.127] When you'll need someone
[03:12.392] I will be by your side
[03:16.750] There is a light that shines
[03:22.872] Special for you and me
[03:27.199] I'll take my chances
[03:30.905] Before they pass
[03:35.378] Pass me by, oh, darling
[03:43.622] You need to look at the other side
[03:47.462] You'll agree
