Your Own Size

Verse 1:
Hey, hey, brown sugar
Let me tell you, chocolate bunny, you're a looker
By the look of it, you're looking for some good love
And since I got a sweet tooth, you should let me meet you
You like to work with kids? Me too
You about to travel the Caribbean? Well I need to
That's where your fam lives; that's where your man is from
Well, that was random or was that planned on
Let me guess, you expect me to holler
Like every other dog walking along with no collar
But since it was brought up
How goes it my friend? Where do you begin?
He don't like your buddies and it might just end
(And the week after,) we're back together again
Now I've known you a while, you're caught in a cycle
And I think you deserve to smile, but

Chorus:
You
Know what you do
When you're coming through
But you keep on sizing up these other dudes
But if you'd give me a try
You would drop all those guys
So won't you pick a heart your own size

Verse 2:
Finally, finally, finally, it's the last straw
He just wouldn't change and you're calling it off
You're focused on you, so do your thing, boo
I'm cheering you on and so is your crew
Celebrating in the night life
But the club will barely lend you any nice guys
So when we chat it up, I'm thinking that's wassup
And, normally, I would have passed this up
We've had some close encounters
Signs that you're looking my way
But I still had my doubts and I said
Let's see how this plays
Bet like Roulette circling my mind
Read it clear she turned it to that sign
Stopped my heart like my chips on black
Meet my new guy; you can hit the road jack, oooh

Chorus x2

Verse 3:
Ok, simple and plain, I know you're playing hard to get
But what you're wanting in a man and what you stay with is hard to get
It's strange to me you view me like a great acquaintance
But conversations and interactions give off different statements
You know I care because I've seen you take advantage
Of how I try to see if I can make life easier to manage
I know you're damaged in ways that aren't healed by a bandage
But it's gotten to a point where I must take a distant vantage
And that's our plight, when you plan those games
That's the quickest way to douse instead of fan those flames
And it sucks, because I was about to let down my guard
And see if you could fit in with my God, family, and art
7 long years I waited for that time to come
Like playing hide and seek; I'm at the base and you stay on the run
Only bad ones coming after you and you don't want shelter
Tired of playing, but it stinks that my heart's still racing to help you
So I'm trying to tell you that

Chorus x2
