What you are
In the kitchen with the flame
Floating ‘round Jupiter
You hit a sympathetic vein,
You got lucky.
Fake ass monogamy
Tell me that that’s a lie.
Everybody falls before they fly.
And her body’s still warm
But she miles away
A little baby was born but she would not stay
We were getting it on
White you miles away...
I couldn’t be my fault
“I’m a man” I say.
She be the one I lost
She be the one in my outer space
So tell me now love
Tell me now why I moonwalk
Whenever she walk away
‘Cause fake ass monogamy in me
Angel don’t you fall for gravity
And her body’s still warm
But she miles away
She tells me nothing is wrong
But she’s miles away.
We were getting it on
White you miles away...
I couldn’t be my fault
“I’m a man” I say.
All the love that We lost
Are you waiting for a perfect day
Yeah
I have lost
When you’re miles away.
