The One

(album: My Own Thing - 2003)

Can I talk to you?
I got some questions
Look, I think I found you
Yeah, I want you
Real life, girl, aight
Let's do this, girl
Yo

What's up, girl? You know my terminology is different
I seen you watching me and wonder why you keep your distance
Your countenance has got me, I wanna swap digits
I think I got your interest, can we go talk a minute?
You got the mochaccino skin type style
And when you're flipping me smells, I feel the vision is felt
So what? This conversation, I ain't those same dudes
Engaged for your name, I'm not tryna change you
I get the vibe that there's a guy in the line
You ever said you could buy us, and that's the reason you're crying
I ain't about breakups to try and make up
It takes trust if it's gonna be the two of us
I thought we could have had something coming out with scorn
I guess for now we'll just call it a love, it's lost

As the deer
Pants for water, so I long for all your fears
To be taken from your heart, so pass 'em here
I'll be waiting for you, lady, I am here
Come home to me

Let me see
Months have passed now thinking to myself
Should I track her down, pray to God, wonder if you're in town
I'm not the stalker type to haunt your life
I want something real, and if it's you, alright, then
I heard you broke up with your man from your friends
Didn't work out, that's too bad, no one could pretend
How I feel about you, throw love at you, can you catch it?
With some laughter, 'bout to ask, show you that I'm still at you
I know what you're thinking, "Is he for real?
Or is he superficial, artificial, playing moves on my feel?"
I could buy all those things, but I promise a ring
And I'm there for you any time you need
I'll talk to you, walk this life with you
Not a lot of tissues used when the love's official
I want a woman that's beyond a girlfriend
Let's get involved and I'll lose it again

As the deer
Pants for water, so I long for all your fears
To be taken from your heart, so pass 'em here
I'll be waiting for you, lady, I am here
Come home to me
All I want
Is for you to take the whole of all I have to give
Give your heart to me and let your spirit live
Inside your fix, surprise your kids
Can try to redesign you, oh, oh

As the deer
All your fears
I am here
Abide in me, and I in you
Let the life reside in you
Abide in me, and I in you
There for me, and I for you
