Love Jones (Inspired by the Movie and Real Life)

It was a Friday night; me and my boys were chilling in the club

I was just hanging out, having fun, not really looking for love

But then you walked past me

I was awe-struck; your jaw-dropping beauty had me straight stuck

You had me mesmerized by those gypsy eyes

And your slim waist that leads down to those dancer’s thighs

I coyly approached like huge fan does a movie star

Scared to speak like a kid asking mommy for a candy bar

“Excuse me,” I said and you turned ever so sweetly

Then I asked you these questions ever so meekly

“You probably get approached like this on a regular basis, huh?”

“And told how fine you are by countless faces, huh?

“Well, add my name to the list”

“Your level of fine is so high, just looking at you gives me a pain in my eye”

“Maybe we can continue this conversation at a later day and time”

And that’s we began our beautiful courtship

Now some time passes by and we doing what couples do

I’m learning you, you’re learning me, ain’t nothing new

But I can see in your face that something has changed

You tell you have to go out of town for a couple of days

What kind of fool do I look like?

You hop on a train and head back home

Thoughts of a man that’s not me swirl around in your dome

Out of town on business my ass

You went back to home to play around with the trash

Also known as your ex-boyfriend

But I’m stingy

I can’t stand that you want him instead of me

It’s driving me crazy

But when it comes to this love game, I ain’t lazy

Anything you can do, baby I can do it better

So I sit down and write her, not you, a love letter

By the time you come home, I’m long gone

And the way things went down is all wrong

That’s how I got caught up in this love jones

When we split, you said that I would regret it

But like a typical man, I tried to forget it

And now we’re in the midst of this 2 town 2 timing 2 step

Dying to run back to you but too scared to hurt my rep

I look around and see my friends in love and happy

Not long ago, I thought all this shit was sappy

But now I’m fiending for it

Feeling like a crack addict going cold turkey

And seeing you out with him truly hurts me

Now I’m wishing I could throw me back

To that exact spot where we found L-O-V-E at

Feel like all I do is lose now, when do I get to win one?

Asking the Holy Father how could he play his own son

Right now I’m left out in the rain; my own hands caused all this pain
