Paul Willis - All That Glitters (feat. Alicia Kaye Hall and Poetic Supernova) Lyrics

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

I call wonderin if you gon answer
When emotional, you turn into a dancer
Curly hair, pretty eyes, yea I'm sure those thighs are thick
But my heart can't take this shit just like a cancer
You're beautiful, stay true, what your mother said
You shouldn't talk to strangers, what your mother said
So I try to get to know ya by asking all these questions,
Can't help but be distracted by what dem eyes have said
I look for a sign, but my mind is read
You look for a sign, and deny instead
You see I have this bad habit of thinking that I had it
When we both know that this is designed to fail
You dress in designer, but I find you here
You glimmer in the dark, yet I find you here
In every waking thought, and this is just a start
I'm stuck on you, but you don't seem to care

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

Now when I look into your eyes, I know there's nothing there
And when I return your smile, it doesn't seem fair
The timing was never right, I told myself all my life
But with you, I wanna try, just to be clear
I want happiness and love, like I have now
They say a real man knows when to stand down
But in this fight for love, do I relinquish all this trust
And be happy with her and who I am now
30 looking at 40, I understand how
Everything you ever wanted didn't pan out
Can't tell if I'm being tested, want you without a question
I'm blessed with love, but I still got my hands out
Drownin in emotion, and I think of you
Before I take another drink, do you think of me too
All that glitters ain't gold, but when you've loved before
I need to know what I'm feelin from you

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

I've never cheated in my life, man I swear to God
I guess I never took the time, just to play the odds
My mind was close a couple times, yea I could've tried
But I wonder who I would be if I lived a lie
Fantasies can be dangerous, yea that stuck wit me
Shout out to the queens who really f*cked wit me
You knew my character from the jump and when I was slippin up
Told me really how it was, kept it a buck fifty
No accidents, I could've let that truck hit me
Chipped my tooth, now the crown looking real pretty
Asleep at the wheel, a sign of what you want is how you feel
I'm ready to do the work and there is plenty
I want a real love every day and she does too
That requires dedication to remain true
I may not be a perfect man, but I aim to
Find peace in my heart and claim you
