Something Black and Me

Coax me out of my most guarded

hiding place…

so I can love you

kiss you…

without hindrance

let me be myself before you

Yeah I’m a lady with class

and attitude

but more than that I’m me

and I make mistakes

let me undress

undress my heart

It beats for you

undress my soul

its still a girl

undress me…I ain’t so pretty inside

a walk with me; delightful

a smooth drive; delirious

but life with me

a journey of tears

and laughter

a continuous withdrawal from our

love’s bank account

so uproot those ideas

of a perfect woman

and allow me to giggle

and let me show you me

and see if you still love me

coz I love me so much

and I think your heart will love me.
