lyrics

stepped smooth off a bus, scarf around my neck
not unlike denzel washington
my baby waited for me up a couple flights
can't wait to get together make it hot again
the top lock creaked and the hinges creaked
her pretty lined lashes fluttered flirty things

& when we kissed, she kissed like this

she asked me in and she flashed a grin
heated up some milk her cat is back again
i would have purred, but i'm just a man
she pointed at some paintings and she took my hand
and not one who misses opportunities
when i looked away she layed a kiss on me!

when i'm on the corner i am unrestrained
i'm speaking of 16th & mission
my baby doesn't follow me, but when i go
it's her i'm thinking, writing, rapping of

agony & ecstacy she's giving me
in and out of the sack it's hard work
but then a little voice comes from deep within
"fool, she's the one & you're a jerk"
the mojo that we work is nothing typical
old ladies stop & tell me lovely lines:
"sorry, i was over there watching you.
you should stick together till the end of time."
my baby turns to me & says i told you so,
& lays a kiss upon these lips of mine

&when we kissed, she kissed like this

options are the death and life of us
it feels good to be sure of something, don't it?
life's another word for time, so make up your mind
pick a light, set your sights and let it shine
& after that, who can say how high you'll climb?
you can tell'm "scuse me while I kiss the sky"
