Love Story

(album: The Rest Is History - 2004)

[Jin]
This from the heart yeah this
From the heart right here
Yeah everybody has a story to tell
Check this out though

I knew this Chinese dude in junior high
Part of my crew everybody knew this kid
He was the talk of the school
Intelligent and well-spoken respected by teachers

All the other students kept they eyes on his sneakers
What can I say you can tell
If he's cool if you talk with him
During fire drills girls would want to walk with him

He could have any chick up in his view
But there was only one girl he wanted to call boo
See it's all true found himself stressed in a dead end
The girl he was feeling was obsessed with his best friend

His best friend's a player that's the reason he's pissed
Plus he treat her like she don't even exist
He ain't trying to hate on his man
But there was no help in it

Wrote the girl a letter told her how
He felt in it she was shocked at first
For him revealing the truth until she
Realized that she was feeling him too

[Chorus Aja Smith]
Oh..I've been (I've been) thinking of you
Oh..I've been (I've been) thinking of you
Oh..I've been (I've been) thinking of you
And you've been thinking of me ohh..

[Jin]
Uhh..yeah so as you know as time goes by
Things get a little more serious..phht
Just listen uhh but strictly hip-hop
Now they bump the slow jams all day

Went from holding hands to making out
In the hallway their relationship
Seemed like a dream come true
As time went by their friendship grew

Staring at the stars trading secrets on the phone
When her parents were at work she would sneak him
In the home he told her he was a virgin the day that they
Met so on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget (heh)

Females were jealous but they still calling him cute
First day in summer school they rocked the
Matching Nautica suits happy in each other's arm
Can it be they found true love living in a fantasy

Then reality attacks his pops couldn't see past
The fact his son was Asian but his girlfriend was black
Imagine having to choose between the one you love
For your 'fam' that's like cutting off your right or left hand (damn)

[Chorus]

Uh uh yea uh I know this sounds
Like a true story it could've
Happen to any one of us
It's crazy though right check it

Now if this sounds like a true story
That's probably cause' it is and I know for a fact
Cause' I'm that Chinese kid (hmm) looking
Back now I know it's more then just a crush

I'm saying the whole experience taught me so much
Love can overcome anything that gets in its way
That's the reason I still think of shorty still to this day
We talk now and then she's doing her thing

We both all grown up I think she's rocking a ring
I know she's proud of me and all I've accomplished
She was there when I was nobody that's being honest
Ain't no shame I'll admit it she was there when I cried

So in return I'll wipe the tears from her eyes as far as my
Pops he's a little bit more open-minded if his son is happy
He's 100% behind it now this is a song I knew I had to do
Because all the stuff I went through might've happened to you

[Chorus]

Uhh yeah everybody remembers they first love
You only got one so you gotta remember (yea uhh)
Just wanted you to know jin's still thinking about you
I know you've been thinking about me too
