Love Like This

Love like this doesn't come without a kiss.

Love like this is something that you miss.

Love like this isn't the kind that you diss.

And love like this didn't hit like Chris.

See I thought you knew,

before you took out a pen to sue.

And I thought you knew

when you did things that left me blue.

See, I thought you were different,

but you wanted someone to pay your rent.

See, I thought you had changed,

but your mind is still lost, deranged!

Still thinking about getting under covers.

Does That One know about your many lovers?

You have a problem, can't you see it?

But I think, you are in denial--missed it.

Still sharing that line, you know the one

about, "...all mine."

If you knew love like this,

you would have never dissed it,

you would have loved it,

you would have been there,

no Truth, no dare.

But all you do is stare,

at girls with short or long wavy hair

or is it boys, who like you, don't care?

You sell pipe dreams,

then want to gleam.

You whisper about hell,

but visit a wishing well.

See, this man, someone I once knew,

sits and shuffles in a church pew,

a wolf who eats white sheep,

one who took a regretted leap.

Then he falls away,

he prays,

counts his days

falls away,

wonders about that day in May.

Love like this

don't miss

the lesson,

your blessin'

don't play stupid, petty games

chasing a dame thinking you'll tame.

Man, he always does things the same, the same!

There he goes again--talking lame, talking lame.

Real love can't be found

in things that are wet and round.

Real love can't be found

when your down, down, down

in a bed way across some town.

Real love opens your sight,

let light come and give you real insight!
