I'm a wary walker, if you notice
My feet are ever on the ground
So at the thought that maybe I care for a poet
They altogether shut down
Somebody, tell me I'm breathing
Oh, I don't know why, but I get so shy
I'm gonna run out of reasons
Not to go on and give you a try (It's just that you're a)
Sweet, sweet talker and you flaunt it
Every color means go
Even if between the red and the green was the blue you wanted
You wouldn't wanna go slow
But I like what I'm hearing
Got your words so moving, your voice so soothing
I don't know what I'm fearing
But I know that I'm afraid of losing you
Baby, I understand if you're getting tired
And if I broke you down to the end
'Cause when you set my heart on fire
I just stop-drop-roll it again
You know I'm kind of a fighter
I fight to keep me the way I been
But you're something I could really admire
No matter how I pretend
(Ooooh no matter how I pretend)
(Ooooh I pretend)
I like to think that I'm above my emotions
Calculated and wise
So at the thought of my love for a poet
I wanna cover my eyes
(Cover my eyes)
(Ooooh)
'Cause how am I supposed to focus?
I can't say no when you look so—oh
I'm hard-headed and hopeless
But through it all I want you to know this
Ooh, baby, I understand if you're getting tired
And if I broke you down to the end
'Cause when you set my heart on fire
I just stop-drop-roll it again
You know I'm kind of a fighter
I fight to keep me the way I been
But you're something I could really admire
No matter how
