i love love

I love love 

I love being in love 

I love seeing love 

The energy of souls infatuated with one another 

In a lane of their own 

With their lover 

I see some protecting themselves with umbrellas 

Not allowing the evil eye to ever get near them 

They send that back cause they never did fear them 

I love seeing love 

It’s amazing, that new love, that old love 

That feel it in your soul love

I’ll always believe in love 

No matter if I have a husband or not 

I know my king is on route 

He’s just popped to the shop 

There’s just something about me and you 

Gotta stop kissing frogs cause they never deserve the truth 

and all those guys want is a piece of cake 

To eat it and not even really taste 

The sweetness 

Not appreciate 

The light and bouncy texture of this beautiful cake 

Now I know I’ve made a few mistakes 

Trying undo my karma cause I misbehaved 

You can see it clear upon his face 

That I broke his heart but he paved the way to a better place 

Taught me a lot and I gave a lot too 

My currency was energy and his was money boo 

I would take the money even though the love had gone cause he lost respect for me 

And I know where I went wrong 

So I’ll never make that mistake again 

Because I really want to have one 

A king that lights me up when I’m around him 

And a king that looks after his son 

I know he’ll come 

I see it to 

Clear as day 

Me and you 

Our beautiful brown skin baby 

You’ll be so proud 

Of me 

Cause a natural birth is all I see 

No vaccinations for my kin 

Gotta find that love from deep within
