Better Days Lyrics - 2001

[ Buy Better Days ]

Can I talk to you

Pain-
I know that I cause you some pain
And baby I know it's a shame
The games, the strain
Love- girl all you had for me was love
And I ran your love in a muck
No hugs and what, what, what
What was I thinking

It hit me like a flash a light
I realize you are my life
And I really love you (I love you)
Yes I do, yes I do

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the white-house from death-row
Projects to holly-wood
I've been to Atlantis, from bad to good

I've changed like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed

Life- I'm willing to lay down my life
Baby won't you be my wife
Except this ring tonight
Now I was a blind man who spent his whole life
In the dark no trees, no bees, no central-park
And I realize you are my life
You're the perfect work of art lady
It hit me like a flash of light
I realize you are my life
And I really love you (I love you)
Yes I do, yes I do

The thought of losing you has caused
My transformation my rehabilitation, dedication, inspiration
Girl I'm brand new
Listen clearly baby
I'm willing to show you the little things I meant to do
Before I never took the time to do
(I wanna love you)
