Verse One
Yo’, Ms Carmelita, Republica de’ Dominica,
beautiful creature said she used to live in Costa Rica,
Father’s a preacher and her Mother was a Spanish Teacher,
I used to tease her cos her smile was like the Mona Lisa,
but she a keeper, I fell for her deeper and deeper,
Ms Senorita, anything she’d tell me, I’d believed her,
cos I was eager to give her all my time and please her,
I was a dreamer, I’m mesmerized, so I get weaker,
she held composure, so didn’t hand her feelings over,
as I got closer, I thought she’d show me more exposure,
but she got colder, communication mediocre,
and so I told her that I’m prepared to take it slower,
and tried to show her that she could put her faith in me,
but always got the feeling that she empty like a vacancy
and it’s like I’m hypnotised and nothing would awaken me,
I don’t believe in magic, but her spell cannot be shaken free.
Chorus
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes,
Hey now, there’s not a tear,
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes,
Oh, hey now, there’s not a tear.
Verse Two
Yo, I’d get suspicious and wonder if she was malicious,
and started feeling like the love she had for me’s fictitious,
it’s like she playing chess and she the Queen, I’m just a Bishop,
sometimes I go down on my knees and pray like I’m religious,
maybe she’s troubled, cos there’s something she ain’t telling me,
cos every time I look into her eyes there’s no serenity
and there’s no sincerity, it’s like there ain’t no remedy,
and so whenever we come together the chemistry is decomposing,
it’s like someone with no emotion, something is broken,
I can’t fix it without a notion of what the problem is,
but no disclosure, it’s just corrosion,
it’s like she made of stone, just like she was completely frozen,
I tried to get some advice, they told me leave her,
cos maybe she just stoned on smoking Cannabis Sativa,
or maybe nothing’s wrong, it’s just the way that you perceive her,
I couldn’t tell you either, but I’m stuck on Carmelita (Carmelita, Carmelita…)
Chorus
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes,
hey now, there’s not a tear,
hey now, (hey now) not a tear in her eyes,
oh, hey now, (hey now) there’s not a tear.
Outro
(Hey now), hey now, not a tear,
(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes,
(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes,
(hey now), hey now, now, now, oooh!
He-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay (x4)

Intro (Stee Moglie)
Come on, come on, come on, uh’.
Verse One (Funky DL)
Yo, there she goes again,
making my head spin like a disc in a nickelodeon,
only pole position like she’s standing on a podium,
dressed like a bohemian,
small frame, one size down from a medium,
you know the type of woman the brothers describe as premium,
don’t wanna approach in case she think you a comedian,
so you trying to chill in back like a chameleon,
it never matters what outfit she wear, I’m always feeling them,
some say she half Filipino and Armenian,
I don’t really know, it’s like I’m guessing her ingredients,
all I know is that she take me high like I’m on helium,
kind of girl that make you forget any woman previous,
smile that is devious, but acting like I never seen her,
she a Mercedes, don’t you pull in a Cortina,
she Air Jordan, don’t you pull up in no torn Fila’s,
and yo I mean this, she something outta fairy-tale,
enchanting just like a spell that mesmerizes very well,
they say she’s feeling me, but really I can never tell.
Chorus (Stee Moglie)
Ooh girl, I wanna know what’s in your headspace,
you’re out of this world, move a little closer,
Cocoa Butter, baby come and put your cup on my coaster,
girl your brown eyes are pulling me deep in,
am I in too deep, or do I float your boat girl?
Do I float your boat girl?
Ooh girl, ooh girl.
Verse Two (Funky DL)
Yo, like Pete Rock explained, she kinda’ mind blowing,
take her to dinner, but don’t have to keep the wine flowing,
and ain’t the type of girl you ever gon’ deny knowing,
she got an enigmatic aura and a mystery,
she’ll have you looking at your current girl like she is history,
and have you thinking that you would do anything for this to be,
is she single? Is she joined in holy matrimony?
she leavin’ brothers in a mess like kids with ravioli,
and when I see her I’m like “cheese/Jheez” like it’s macaroni
and she the quiet type, she never has to say nothing,
I bet she go to the club and never pay nothing,
would have gave her this song, but doubt she’d hit the play button,
I’ve seen brothers get blown to smithereens,
with stupid compliments like “how you do Miss Philippines?
And never quite recover from the damaged self-esteem,
and yo I mean this, she something outta fairy-tale,
enchanting just like a spell and mesmerizes very well,
they say she’s feeling me, but really? I can never tell.
Chorus (Stee Moglie)

Kicked to the Curb
03:53
|
|||
Verse One
I’m sick of this, that’s why I kicked you to the curb with the quickness,
ain't nobody in this world should have to live with this,
and so I had to put you out just like cigarettes,
and now you coming back with an apology,
I took it, now I’m asking what you want from me?
2, 3, 4, 5 chances,
but I think you know already what the answer is,
I’ll never put myself in that position,
even though you tried to show me what I’m missing,
but that made it a whole worse girl,
cos’ truthfully I’m saying you’re the first girl,
to do me like you did me so I cursed girl,
but I won’t put those curses in my verse girl,
cos’ I can think of many other words girl,
that explain why I kicked you to the curb girl,
now you’re back again singing the same song.
Verse Two
It’s over with,
but seems you having trouble trying to notice it,
Is there anything to say I haven’t said already?
but you don’t stop charging up your Ever Ready,
back with the same old, same old,
and acting like this happened just a day ago,
but it’s much more close to ten months now,
I could have found somebody else and could have settled down,
but to you it’s all inconsequential,
cos’ you saying that for you I am essential,
and as I’m speaking on this instrumental,
I‘m thinking of the things you never meant to,
but everything would happen too frequent,
as often as every other weekend,
and every time I couldn’t find the words girl,
and so I had to kick you to the curb girl,
and now you’re back again singing the same song.

Chorus (Xantoné Blacq)
Oh my love, you are everything to me,
my Queen, keep you always in my heart, my love.
Verse One (Funky DL)
She is one in a million, Brazilian, golden complexion,
the closest I have ever seen to feminine perfection,
I met her back in the summer of 2020
and instantly I knew that this gotta’ be more than friendly,
we got to know each other quite quick and maybe, probably,
we should be going slower, two bottles of Kindzmarauli,
it's a two person party,
I told her very calmly that I never met nobody like her,
that's guaranteed, she text me all the time and sometimes in Portuguese,
so every time I get a message, yo’ it's really news to me
and her voice notes are like my favourite tracks, I press repeat,
sometimes I miss her messages, it's cos’ I'm fast asleep,
I wake early, I told her I make music, she heard me,
she impressed with the number of streams along my journey,
plus the fact that I studied the law like an attorney,
showed me pictures of her family,
parents looked very happily married, I wanna meet em’,
impossible for me to predict how this would deepen,
she told me I was stuck with her, I kinda like that feeling,
she knows that she can trust me any time, any season,
any day, any week, month, year, for any reason,
anything that she needs, I’ll find a way to make it be.
Chorus (Xantoné Blacq)
Verse Two (Funky DL)
I don’t see her all the time and so she ask me if I miss her?
Tell her that’s automatic, ain’t nobody can resist ya’,
that smile is like a picture, which is magic to the eyes,
the kinda’ magic every time that got me hypnotised,
recognise you need your space and I’m same, so we align,
cos’ everybody need a little time
and we don’t live together, but your stuff is at my crib,
remembering the first time I showed you where I live,
take an Uber to the station, I want you to travel safe and sound
and so I’m coming with ya’, we take the high speed train,
it gets you home quicker, as you stroll into the distance,
definition watch your figure,
you asked me to explain how different things in London work,
sometimes I tease the answer just to see you give a smirk,
we never had a time when you was driving me berserk,
you just driving me to work, an inspiration for success
and maybe I don’t say it, but I know I’m truly blessed,
it’s really nothing less
and I ain’t told many people I love em’,
my Father, my older Brother, few friends, my younger Cousin,
my older Sister, but now you know you made it to the club
and membership is irrevocable my love.
Pre-Chorus (Xantoné Blacq)
My love, my love.

Leave Me Alone
03:19
|

Chorus
Come on! I really wish that you would leave me alone,
look your friend is at the bar and she is calling you over,
and plus I think the DJ’s playing your song,
excuse me for a sec; someone is calling my phone,
I really wish that you would leave me alone,
your attitude is something I can't really condone,
you better grab your coat before the cloakroom close,
I think you really need to leave me alone.
Verse One
Me and my crew, we going out for the night,
we step into this joint, I peep this woman in white,
I see her looking at me I don't pay her no mind,
she started to come over with a bottle of wine,
then she knocked the baseball cap off my head,
and tried to put it on, but she is dripping with sweat,
and it was at that point I started changing my mood,
so whispered in her ear that you incredibly rude,
she tried to play it off like it was only a joke,
then asked me if I'd like to share my Henny and Coke?
I gave her no response; I guess that was my response,
and now she wanna dance and so she grabbing my palms
I told her to forget it; I am good as I am
she's trying to convince me cos’ they playing her jam,
she find it hard to listen when I'm telling her no,
and not taking the hint I gave a minute ago,
I kinda get the feeling she been drinking too much,
not only is she talking, but she trying to touch,
my shoulder and my arm with the side of her face,
and hoping that I like her, but that isn't the case,
I'm looking at my crew and they are smiling at me,
I call this an invasion of my privacy,
no matter what I do this girl ain't letting me go,
maybe I should be letting her know.
Chorus
Verse Two
I'm trying to get away, but she is sticking around,
impossible to smile cos’ I'm possessed with frown,
I'm starting to regret the fact I didn't stay home,
cos’ now she want my number, so she gave me her phone,
that's never gonna happen in a million years,
she trying to put my hand in her Brazilian hair,
I feel like I'm a prisoner who caught in a trap,
repeatedly she asking are you sure you don't rap?
I said you are mistaken; I'm a regular guy,
still trying to get my number I don't have a reply,
she getting really close and trying to smell my cologne,
she said when this is over are you going straight home?
I'm trying to keep my calm and be the tolerant me,
So try and step away, but she be following me,
like Sally be to Linus in that Charlie Brown show,
ain't trying to let me go, she wanna be my shadow,
No matter what I tell her, it don't have an effect,
No matter if I'm subtle, or I'm being direct,
she got her own agenda that she trying to fulfill,
and doesn't recognize that it be going downhill,
I'm looking at my crew and now they shaking they heads,
cos' they know that she nothing like the woman in red,
no matter what I do, this girl ain't letting me go,
maybe I should be letting her know.
Chorus

Verse One
She standing underneath the stars,
the constellation complimenting her,
he pretty sure nothing more beautiful’s been noticed in his retina,
she touch her hair, I don’t know why,
I guess it gives her something she can do,
(yeah) he starts to stare, he looks away,
he look again, it’s like it’s peekaboo,
she turn away, she kinda shy
and doesn’t quite know what to say to him,
(hmm), he try to be the man and play it cool,
but yo’ it’s like he’s caving in,
she takes a breath,
maybe some oxygen will stop these palpitations huh?
he tells himself even if she is playing tough,
he gone stay brave enough.
Chorus
And now I’m looking at you standing there,
I’m kinda feelin’ you from afar,
I wanna move a little closer boy,
so you can tell me who you are,
and now I’m looking at you standing there,
I’m kinda feelin’ you from afar,
I wanna move a little closer girl,
so you can tell me who you are.
Verse Two
He wanna speak, but at the risk of sounding stupid,
he just thinks some more, (uh-huh)
and now she pondering and wondering on why he hesitating for?
(yeah), he reminiscing back to something similar, he having déjà vu
and so she jammin’ like she playing the Bob Marley and the Wailers tune,
he check his watch to see the time,
I guess the nervousness is kicking in,
(uh), she got her headphones in her hand
and now she’s contemplating listening,
(yeah), now he’s counting down from ten
and by the time he gets to five,
(huh), she start to get herself together,
cos her bus has just arrived.
Chorus
Outro (x8)
Word up yo’

Sleep
03:19
|

Chorus
Knowing that you’re loved more than you thought,
sleep loved, sleep loved.
Verse One
I used to dream about her, more than a brief encounter,
I used to watch from a distance while older men surround her,
in expensive whips, more than likely flippin' bricks,
knowing in my mind I couldn't give her shit
and knowing I was never on her level, I'm hardly very successful,
I'm hardly anything special and she was never plain jane-ing,
I guess she'd know my name if I was big in entertainment,
I'd bring her to my show to watch me on the microphone,
pacing up and down the stage and got the flyest Nike's on,
take her to my crib and spoon her,
and switch the music up to something smoother,
she precious I could be her jeweler,
much later than sooner we had to part ways,
but kissed me on the lips around the 21st day of November,
I still remember, I always gave would never lend her for agenda,
she couldn't say I was the last of the big spenders,
September to December, that was the trimester,
a super-fly sister, meet her for lunch when she free, City of Westminster
I should have made her my wife,
but now I'm sitting here like Michael Jackson singing that she out of my life, sleep.
Chorus
Knowing that you’re loved more than you thought,
(check it, ch-ch-check it)
sleep loved, (check it, ch-ch-check it),
sleep loved.
Verse Two
She used to call me late night and talk dirty til’ the early hours,
she compliment my hair was curly, she was curvy,
flowers was the aroma of her jersey,
as she leaned in to kiss me,
told me about this dude she was seeing who acting shifty,
he pissed her off like a kidney,
now she chilling in my room while I trim my Pops hair,
he told me “you can get any girl in the world but be clear,
you only got one shot, don’t fuck it up, cos from there your chance is over,
you gonna see as you get older”,
so I console her when she’s crying on my shoulder,
over and over, I told her beauty’s in the eye of the beholder,
she told me hold her, had the body of a Coca-Cola bottle,
but emotionally it’s like she on a roller-coaster,
she couldn’t see what was wrong, I had to diagnose her,
she’s so attracted to dudes who like to fuck her over,
something bout’ the drama, the rah-rah, the marijuana,
something bout’ them dudes she investigating like Panorama,
and now her heart is open sesame like Ali Baba,
she look into my eyes and told me they mysterious
and wanna know the future, but today it’s just precarious… sleep.

Intro
About you (x15)
Verse One
Yo, she was bang dead centre in a crew a girls,
and the cutest girl, thinking if I knew this girl…
did I say she was the cutest one?
I put my drink down, f-it, I’mma do this son,
step to her what’s your name? Where you coming from?
Her friend says “hey yo we got to go”, why what’s she running from?
It ain’t like I’m drunk from a tonne of rum,
I seen a lot of women act stush, don’t be one of them,
excuse me lady but I’m trying to get a 1 on 1,
cos' I ain’t trying to hear your friend talking all that bubble gum,
apologies if I sound a little troublesome,
usually my peoples seem to know me as the subtle one,
but I love your whole profile,
so you stand out from the ones who got no style,
do you mind if we build a rapport?
Cos' I wanna get to know a little more about you.
Chorus
About you (x6)
cos I wanna get to know a little more about you
about you (x2)
about me?
about you (x4)
Verse Two
Yo, so tell me are you single are you taken?
Cos' if you taken I’m probably just wasting my time on you,
but damn that dress look so fine on you,
and I’ve been watching you since like 9:02,
and disrespecting you is something that I won’t do,
got my mind on you,
so I want to spend some time with you sweetie,
I might be the type to tag your name in some graffiti,
what you drinking? Can I fill another glass?
If you a teacher you’d be filling up the class,
I wanna know where you at? What you do?
And if I was to call you would you probably come through?
I’m an MC straight no crew,
I’m Blackcurrent Jazz since “twenty 0’ two”,
so do you mind if we build a rapport?
Cos I wanna get to know a little more about you.
Chorus
Verse Three
I’m about to be out in a sec,
but fill me in like a signed blank cheque,
I don’t know if you require me to step,
so tell me have I got the timing correct?
There’s so many things I wanna say,
you all that plus a bag of Frito Lay,
so I don’t really care what other people say,
a man and a women should be equally respected,
you like a little ray of sunshine,
sometimes we can hit the strip and have a fun time,
and you look like a lady who really knows her fashion
love the gold, love the navy,
have I said too much?
Was you giving me the sign or have I read too much?
Do you mind if we build a rapport?
Cos I need to get to know a little more about you.
Chorus
Outro
Oooh - About you, about you
about me, about me
about you, about you
about me, about me.

Letting Me Down Again
03:10
|
|||
Verse One
Yo’, we going in and out of this relationship like
a pair of feet into some shoes that never fit right,
sometimes it's like we really cool and we in harmony,
and other times it's like I gotta’ wear my armory,
If I'm to tell the truth I really think it's cos’ of you,
cos’ you be treating us like us is something solitude,
and I don't know the reason why I won't get over you,
I see the overview; I know what I'm supposed to do,
and now I'm thinking is another person close to you?
I could be right, but hope I'm not and that I overshoot,
and even when you in my presence yo' it's like you gone,
I'm trying to tell you something, but you're looking so withdrawn,
and this ain't new to me, I seen it like a couple times,
I'm looking in your face and all I see is troubled eyes,
you doing double time, but I must of seen you down the
Ave with like a couple guys, ay’ yo’ you letting me down again.
Chorus
You letting me down again, you letting me down again,
you letting me down, you letting me down, down
she letting me down again, she letting me down again,
she letting me down again, she letting me down,
she letting me down, she letting me down.
Verse Two
She try and tell me that it's all in my imagination,
and not to make an accusation with no validation,
but everyday it's like your heart is inaccessible,
don't wanna doubt, but it's extremely irrepressible,
cos’ every time I look at you I see an empty shell,
and I can see what's obvious, so it ain't hard to tell,
just like the very last song played on Illmatic,
we used to really get along, but now it feels static,
so what's the point of either one of us pretending like
a DJ at a club who's frontin', we ain't blending right?
I'm disappointed in your total lack and disregard,
and like a piece of paper now you tearing this apart,
I'm trying to figure out exactly why we took a turn,
it ain't that easy to decipher, so I can't discern,
but at the same time I try to work the answers out,
but what I know without a doubt is that you letting me down again.
Chorus

Intro
So sexy (x4)
Chorus
How did you get to be so sexy? I don’t know,
Don’t know how you can be so sexy, I don’t know,
When I see you, you seem so sexy, I don’t know,
Does this mean that you feel so sexy? Tell me.
Verse One
It’s me again, let me talk to you at 99bpm
I saw you from way back when
and there were many things I couldn’t say back then
I guess that you could say that I was laid back then
but now it’s all different
so pay attention girl I hope that you are listening
at first I thought I like you just a little bit
but that little bit just grew to be a bigger bit
you (you) are looking magnificent
long hair, pretty smile, lip gloss glistening
do that cute thing blowing all them kisses and
I know you probably got a bunch of dudes whistling
I will do almost anything
to show you that I am a true gentleman
let’s go, I’ll pick you up at nine we can go catch a show
and if it’s raining yo we don’t have to go
we can stay inside and chill some more
and let me tell you some more things you didn’t know
while we kick back and listen to some De La Soul
you’re so sexy, I wanna know
Chorus
Verse Two
Just yesterday I was thinking to myself
lets just say the idea of you and me blessed this way
means we’ll probably never have a restless day
now isn’t that beautiful?
baby all I want to be is truthful
diligent and useful providing what you’re used to
everyday you looking so youthful
I hope you pay attention just to what them other dudes do
promising that they can be your Captain
but I don’t make promises I make things happen
(yo ever since) ever since I started rapping
I made a lot of girl tracks this is most accurate
and the fact is I really made my mind up
so I can see a Playboy line up
but I’m telling each and every one honey your time’s up
grown man talk now I gotta wise up
back to you girl forget the rest
you straight blow em’ out the water honey no contest
let me take you out or if you need some rest
we can kick back and listen to some Tribe Called Quest you’re so sexy

Verse One (DL)
(Yo), I'm struggling to keep my eyes open,
but now she's crying down the phone, saying her guy's hopeless,
ay’ yo she knew from the beginning but ignored the notice,
guess she was hoping he was open to show his devotion,
forever floating in an ocean, erotic emotions,
so what's the notion that can bring her to this very moment?
Where she is doubting her decision for the one she’s chosen,
she telling me it went from perfect to lots of commotion,
he pass the blame to her whenever she be outspoken
and then they argue to the point where she need Ibuprofen,
Mascara running, she was stunning, now her eyes are swollen,
he treat her like he a remote cos he is so controlling,
and all this time I'm thinking I don't even have a clue,
feel like we both been here before and she know what to do,
but will she listen, or just pay no mind to my advice?
She may be better off speaking to my homie Cise.
Chorus
I don’t know what more I should tell her, cos she will never listen to me,
I don’t know what more I should tell her,
I don’t know what more I should tell her, cos she will never listen to me,
I don’t know what more I should tell her, cos she will never listen to me.
Verse Two (Cise Starr)
Familiar message on my phone again,
it be that chick that never listen and she needs a friend,
I hate to break it to her, but dammit, I'm just not him,
she be chasing after this tool, photogenic Ken,
they always arguing, but smile for the camera lens,
they gotta make it look good for the Insta-grim,
she need to colon cleanse, keep it moving, leave him,
before even the foundation cannot hide the sins of the arguments he wins,
she say “no he's okay, he just be mad some days,
he don't even mean to do it, it's just something I say”,
you keep making excuses for this dysfunctional loser,
one of these days he will lose it, put something in your medulla,
and that won't make it to Instagram, but maybe to Twitter though,
when the local news reporting so (no),
I call her back and persuade her the best I can,
but she keep me talking in circles, so I transfer her to Stan.
Chorus
Verse Three (Substantial)
(Yo), she hitting me on my line, snifflin’ and she cryin’,
sick of him and she tired, this isn’t what she desired,
missin’ each of the signs, revealing his true design,
it ain’t fiction, it’s science, the sayin’ that love is blind,
disregarded the cheating, ‘cause it was better than beatings,
quality time was frequent, but now he gone every weekend,
but he be keepin’ tabs like Biggie, (Who you be with?)
The question I had asked was (Really?!, when you leavin’?)
Man this joker is wild, she gotta know when to fold’em,
a King worth her while, she gotta learn how to hold’em,
I told her, a Queen must see that she is golden,
and guard her heart from those that wish to leave it broken,
she laugh and tell me, I’m so corny,
and not to judge a book without knowing the whole story,
true indeed, I tell her be well,
nothing else for me to say, but you can hit up DL, okay?
Chorus

Or maybe Kamakura? / I wanted to explore her but that’s if she let me / and now I’m trying to tell her but she probably don’t get me so / as we say in London “I probably got to allow her” / but she the beautifulist from Kanagawa / Chorus / Verse Three / She said she worked at the dentist as an apprentice / compared to an MC, very momentous / she sent me a photo of her and Yasuko / I’m looking for her weakness searching for loopholes / but no way through cos she don’t understand me / I feel like I kid who has lost all his candy / unhand me, yo’ but she so damn gorgeous / enough to make me write this and wanna record this / she’s flawless and got such a nice personality / but everything is fantasy and never reality / knowing how it is to be lost in translation / our telephone calls don’t get no duration / Mana from Kanagawa, capital Yokohama / is she from Kawasaki? Or maybe Kamakura? / I wanted to explore her / cos truthfully I adore her / Chorus [x2] /

I thought this chick was magnificent
until I got to know her and I saw so many differences
and I could think of many instances
when I had to stay away and keep so many distances
but I don’t know what happened this time
maybe I just fell in love or maybe I was just blind
maybe I was insane, let me take my time to explain…
Verse One
See she loved her Sci-Fi and I loved my Hi-Fi
see I worked erratically and she worked a nine to five
I’d drink a root beer and she’d drink fine wine
and I’d buy the CD she got it from Limewire
and I loved the Autumn her favourite was Summertime
and I would shop in the store and she would shop online
and she was always late, I’m constantly on time
she’d only eat certain things while I would try all kinds
I’d show her love everyday, she’d show me on Valentines
and I would stick to the truth, she always had alibis
my friends were guys and girls, her friends were only guys
her money was all hers, my money was both of ours
and I was a realist while she would just fantasize
and she would decide quick, I took time to analyze
we’d never meet in the middle, it’s just me in the middle
and I’m feeling a little…
Chorus
Out of touch, we too different and it seems like we out of luck
so will we both stay together? I doubt it much
I don’t see that happening cos we out of luck and I doubt it much
cos we out of touch, we too different and it seems like we out of luck
so will we both stay together? I doubt it much
I don’t see that happening cos we out of luck and I doubt it much
cos we out of touch
Pre-Verse
Verse Two
See she loved the new school and I loved the old school
and I was T-Mobile and she was on 02
I liked my red meat, she only liked Tofu
and I was a leader, she would do what most do
she liked to spend doe while I liked to save doe
I spoke with choice words while she was a say so
I liked all R&B, she only liked J-Lo
and I’d rock a no name, she only wore labels
I always work hard, she wanted it easy
I loved the cinema she only watched TV
I listened to Motown, she didn’t like Stevie
I’m slow to my anger, but she is so speedy
she liked to sleep in while I’d always wake up
I liked her natural, she always wore makeup
we’d never meet in the middle, it’s just me in the middle
and I’m feeling a little…

CHORUS
Yo I love the way you make me move (la, la, la, la)
I love it when you do what you do (la, la, la, la)
I love the way you make me feel (la, la, la, la)
So wake me up I’m guessing this is a dream (la, la, la, la)
(la, la, la, la… la, la, la, la)
VERSE 1
I love it when you choose to come round my way
Love it when you call me cos it brightens my day
Over and over girl you run through my mind
Very beautiful in other words you are fine
Every time I see you it increases a touch
Love the way you talk to me and such and such
Even when you angry you a beautiful girl
And I’m overwhelmed that you have entered my world
Never had the chance before to tell you these words
Never had the chance before but now it’s occurred
Everywhere I travel I’m reminded of you
Maybe cos I’m loving all the things that you do
Cos you very special and I’m telling you so
Lady let me tell you cos you probably don’t know
Every time I see you is it something I show?
I just wanna make sure you know what I know
Sometimes I’m thinking can this really be so?
Honestly it is and that’s just how it goes (yeah)
(la, la, la, la)
CHORUS
I don’t even have much more to say on this matter
Listen to my heart because it pitters and patters
Obviously it’s the way I feel about you
Visualizing everything you do when you do
Echoing the words that go round in my mind
Lately I’ve been feeling it much stronger I find
Every time I stop myself from saying what’s right
And I don’t know where you’re at in your life
Needless to say that my feelings are here
Never really want my feelings to disappear
Every time I’m by myself I’m hoping you’re near
Must be that magic that you put in the air
Could it be I’m saying far too much for your ears?
Listen to me carefully and it will become clear
Each and everything I say is tailored for you
In a way you never thought but baby it’s true
So let me know if you’re working this out
Hopefully you’ll know what I’m talking about (for real)
(la, la, la, la)
