Its been such a short time
And though I have seen a lot
There's more to this life of mine
And I am up for the shot
...
Being the firstborn I came in the world tough
Surviving my upbringing in the projects was tough
Being raped as a virgin was more then tough
Being discriminated against was just as rough
...
Its a beautiful sunny day
Cool and windy this third Sunday
Straight home from church
...
Its your smile I miss
The tenderness of your lips
I miss your style-the sense of it
You and I are a perfect fit
...
I have been trying to figure out why I am not quite right
Is it because my body is no longer quite as tight?
Is it because my hair is not quite as long
...
Like a Giraffe
I stand out and tall
Like a Horse
...
Can't you see it in my eyes?
There was a connection from the time our eyes met
It wouldnt be for some time yet
that I would know what that connection meant
...
You gave me Faith in men again, I can agree
All to take it back from me.
I thought surely this was all a dream
that you'd return someday most certainly.
...
Why are you afraid to love me?
Is it that you have been hurt
Or is it that you cannot break old ties
even though the last woman treated you like dirt
