You deserve to see sunrises over oceans
Have poems written in skies to provide shade from sunshine
But for the time being
I'll take just seeing you treated better than you have been
I've been askin'
Why would you remain in a cage that has the door open
Hoping things would change from the way were before and
You already told me that your man can be controlling
Since when do relationships have captains?
If your man's trippin', the only destination should be happiness
And why should I be passive?
You ain't had a fraction of my passion but
Past-tense cats left you past tense; let's move past them
Baby, move past him
You're holding on to what already has passed
When you know that ship came and went
And each day you've spent
Telling me how happy you are with me, yet you're dealing with this?
That contradicts
Baby, common sense says this
You need someone
Whose love won't run
If you need real love
Then you should be with me
Just take my hand
And you will see
How good love will be
If you'll be with me
See, you ain't had love like this before
So immersed in it happiness fills your pores
And you become sore from learning how to smile with your heart again
Joy from mornings when you awake at the start of them and
Learn how good it feels to feel like you again
This kinda dream was built for you
My friend
My love
Just one time I'd love to see her get reimbursed for the hurt that she's been through
Cause with you
This thing don't look right
Your ring don't look right
Your name don't look right 'cause it don't match mine
Baby girl's not mine and
I don't need clocks
I know it's past time and I'd be just fine to
Move her past hurt to Happily Ever After
You ain't gotta question my heart, just ask hers
Man, the laughter and chapters of passions that we could see ain't make believe
We can make this be
You need someone
Whose love won't run
If you need real love
Then you should be with me
Just take my hand
And you will see
How good love will be
If you'll be with me
Baby I know he don't treat you right
Hear your needs, understand your life
Baby I know he don't do those things
That make you moan and make you scream
Baby I know you get tired of things
And that you've been scared to make the change
But what I know don't mean one thing
If you can't see you should be with me
You need someone
Whose love won't run
If you need real love
Then you should be with me
Just take my hand
And you will see
How good love will be
