lyrics

Verse1:
In the city of LA, nothing's brighter than your shine
I'd like to bask inside your glow during all of your quiet times
Watch the way you read and write cook you something dope
Build on something positive as long as we getting close
I'm not only talking specifically the physical
I'd like to take a closer look at what you consider spiritual
... If you really insist we could make love til the Earth crumbles
But on the real, I'd much rather build a world with you!
Cause there's so much a girl can do in this crazy mess we live in
Even though our skin tone is recommended for prison
So please just speak your mind, let me connect with your wisdom
Cause true masculinity is inspired by feminism
This is genuinely asking for your permission
To let me see your vision, in hopes that I can keep you driven
Just tell me what I need to do, promise I'll just listen
Just tell me what I need to do, promise I'll just listen...


Chorus:
(with the bass part)
You're my favorite book to read - True indeed!
And I just wanna learn about the story of your life!
The story of your life, the story of your life!
(And perhaps there's a story of love that we could write!)


Verse2:
I suppose from the outside it looks kinda suspect
But let's take a moment to assess, please don't leave just yet
I've been writing about you, I haven't gotten much rest
But you find it hard to believe cause we haven't even fucked yet?!
But I prefer the term making love
I'll admit I'm addicted to that feeling while others be taking drugs
Show me the field of your soul I can plant the nourishment
And gently cultivate the understanding and encouragement
Anything else you need to flourish and thrive
Let's practice honest dialog to honor the purity of the vibe
Surely my eyes are seeking for something deeper
If Love is a life lesson, could I select you as my teacher?
And I could be your student, we could share switch roles
Really learn about each other what best fits our souls
Tell me what gives you joy, I'll let my hair down and do the same
So whenever you're really ready, just come and get this mane


Chorus:
(with the bass part)
You're my favorite book to read - True indeed!
And I just wanna learn about the story of your life!
The story of your life, the story of your life!
(And perhaps there's a story of love that we could write!)
