im sorry

im sorry u fell in love with me
i should have warned you
that my smile could be enticing
my arms would be inviting
the need to merge tempting
i should have warned you
that i'd be too nice
feel too right
my presence would be warm
the nights could be long
my cooking may not be to your liking
but you could bring me home to momma
i'd behave in public
get along with your people
rock and scream real loud when questlove hit the drums
sing loud when india and erykah hit the room
spit poetry, sing and show you how the creator has blessed me
that i might talk even sing in my sleep
that my love would be sweet
i should have warned you
told you to walk away
should have never let you stay
i should have run away
saved you from this day
saved you from this pain
but you can add this to the things you'll never here me say
heartbreakers deserve a chance to change
deserve to know the possibility of love
but perhaps i should have warned you
that today was not the day
that if you came back in 3 years
my left hand would come out to play
that my fears wouldn't make me hide and run away
that perhaps we both needed time to grow
but there are somethings we never know
until we take the chance
until we try that new dance
take that first sip
growth comes with no regrets
back then i really wasn't too sure where'd we go
but i sincerely truly from the depths of me wish
i could have told u
what we now think we know
will we really ever know?
i wish i could tell you
