T.J. got in troubled cause R.M. AND Melvin for stealing a gun

lyrics

You might really beThe very best one to ever suit meBut I can't expect you to see how I see'Cause sometimes I don't see a thing

But personal pressure is making me guessMy time's running out as we're both getting dressedI don't know who's body I'd rather feel pressedBut I cannot rest on my thoughts

(Chorus)'Cause we had a good timeThen it was sorrowI call it stealingYou call it borrow

So I want my heart backIf you're not gonna keep itIf you've got no usesThen I'm gonna need itAnd someone elseIs gonna need it too

While some of it's hereI'm wondering where did the rest disappearThe parts that I thought were the best are unclearOr hiding there under your doubt

Lyrics

You're here, I'm pleasedI really dig your companyYour style, your smile, your peace mentalityLord, have mercy on meI was blind, now I can seeWhat a king's supposed to beBaby I feel free, come on and go with me Let's take a long walk around the park after darkFind a spot for us to sparkConversation, verbal elation, stimulationShare our situations, temptations, education, relaxationsElevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18 Your background it ain't squeaky clean (shit)Sometimes we all got to swim upstreamYou ain't no saint, we all are sinnersBut you put your good foot down and make your soul a winnerI respect that, man you're so phatAnd you're all that, plus supremeThen you're humble man I'm numbYo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring

Sometimes I wonder do youEven recognize the womanThat's standing in front of youListen, sometimes I wonder do youEven care or realize why I took care of you'Cuz you're my heartYou are my soulYou're my other halfWithout you I cannot be whole babySo far apartI just don't knowWhat drove us apart in the first placeNow I know babyWhyThese tears I cry sure won't be the lastThey will not be the last .. no'Cuz this pain inside never seems to passIt never seems to pass me bySo I thank youSaid I thank youYes I thank youFor making me a woman

I-I said may I have another book please.

Lyrics

I used to do so many things so I could win you for myself You blew me off so many times that it was not good for my health You never asked 'bout who I was just wanted me in your fan club 'cause then you'd have a waiting list of girls lined up to take your pick I over heard you with your friends make plans on Sunday for the beach I figured this the perfect time to show up unexpectedly There I lay as you walked by in my leopard print bikini Can't believe I went through that you acted like you couldn't see me

Now that I don't care what you do you've gone out and put my name on your tattooSo what so now you wanna take me out It's too late I liked you but your time ran out It's too bad you want what you coulda had I could say I'm sorry just that you're the one that's really sorry So what so now you think I'm good enough It's too late I'm never gonna give it up It's too bad you want what you coulda had I could say I'm sorry just that you're the one that's really sorry

I used to think you were the best and didn't care about the rest I guess I thought I had a chance to bite your lips and kiss your neck Like you ever saw me stare, yeah right, you never cared I guess it's hard to realize the truth the way I fantasize I walked your way everyday just so I could get a view And then I'd try to act surprised the minute that you saw me too I always liked your quirky ways but you rarely let it show You cared about your reputation and your stupid ego.
