(Chorus)
[Erykah Badu]
There are times.. when you`ll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
Special for you, and me..
I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain`t seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let`s spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain`t gon` assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can`t handle the glare
You know I ain`t the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it`s important that we close..
.. to the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let`s rely
(Chorus)
Yo, yo, check it
It`s important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There`s so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that`s fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night`s moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let`s stick to understandin and we won`t fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain`t simple
Why can`t it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don`t take a whole day to recognize sunshine
(Chorus)
Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It`s kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it`s time to, thinkin you fresh
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
At times when I`m lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it`s time to
My heart`s dictionary defines you, it`s love and happiness
Truthfully it`s hard tryin to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain`t gon` keep you, but as my equal
it`s how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I`ma lead you
And whatever`s right, I`ma feed you
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace
(Chorus)
