The other night I met a girl
And she looked to be so nice I asked her for the digits And she didn't think twice A couple of days later called her up and asked her out She said,'with you?' I said, 'with me,' And then she said, 'without a doubt' I took her to the Garden where I guess they grow the Olives She wore a tighter skirt Than any I had seen in college She said, 'I love to smoke and drink While cursing like a sailor' I asked her where she got her mouth And if she had a tailor Finally I walked her to the door to say goodnight She said, 'I am an apple, Would you care to take a bite?' Politely I refused and said, 'I'm looking for a lady' So she slapped me in my face and said, 'Boy, you must be crazy' Different from the ones before Different from the ones before, she's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say, 'I hope she comes my way' Well I'm lookin' for a girl who virtuous Cause God laid it on my heart to search for this So I open up the Word to the book of Proverbs The 31st chapter tells me all about her Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain A woman who fears the Lord, she ain't playin' Hear what I'm sayin', cause I'm sayin' it clearly She's the kinda girl I gots to have near me She's that kinda girl. Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way, The kinda girl that makes you say... Well I'm lookin' into hookin' with a lady And not a girly of the worl'y that's shady But the kinda girl you meet Behind the doors of a church Ya see, God will bring her to me So I don't have to search Too hard I've been scarred by the ones of the past So put an APB out on the one that will last A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure But a bona fide lady's what I'm prayin' for When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, perfect for each other There'll never be another for me She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say 'I hope she comes my way' Heaven help me, hear my plea I know there's one who's perfect for me When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her, By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, I pray she come's my way She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say...

Silence is golden but these are the words
That the world needs to hear Terms of compassion will cause a reaction As love draws them near But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride Pretending we are blind to the calling This is my point and case, if hate can be erased With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling? Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel Some have a heartfelt emotion But never the words to reveal I think we all relate, so why are we afraid To let our hearts convey what we're feeling? There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed And love can intercede if we're willing, so... Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it The word love, well it was once overused Back in the 70's the word was abused But I refuse to let love be diluted We can't allow physical lust to intrude it Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse For the greatest gift of all to be abused So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you Don't be afraid of the words "I love you Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear |

Whatcha thinking, doing the things you do
Whose opinion are ya listening to? Justifying, you turn it all to gray Synchronizing to society's ways Society has gotten to be all outta whack And don't bother with excuses whether white or black To blame it on a color won't get a result Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost In reality our decency has taken a plunge "in god we trust" is an american pun Funny how it happened so suddenly Hey yo fellas, kick the melody... Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Times are changing, with morals in decay Human rights have made the wrongs okay Something's missing, and if you're asking me I think that something is the g-o-d To label wrong or right by the people's sight Is like going to a loser to ask advice And by basing your plans On another man's way of living life Is creating a brand of ethics Sure to be missing the punch No count morals that are out to lunch They're sliding away cause everything is okay It was taboo back then but today ya say, Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable Yeah, yeah, yeah Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, yo, yo, who's doin' it Ohhhh, alright Ohhhh, come on We gotta back to the principles found in the word A little g-o-d could be society's cure From the state that we're in cause again we're slipping So pray for america cause time is ticking Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Socially respectable Socially acceptable Socially respectable |
