By You

I Remember When I First Saw You, You Had Just Gotten Urself, A Fly Hairdo

I Was So Apprehensive, To Approach You, All I Could Muster Out My Mouth, Was A Weak Hi You

But Really, Just Wanted To Be By You, Cause You So Reminded Me, Of A Young Badu

A Creole Sistah From The Deep Bayou, And I Was So Wondering, If I Could Just Buy You

A Cup Of Coffee And Some Pie, So I Can Learn Bout You

By The Way Lookin Fly, In That Nikey Tech Sky Blue

So Tevin Campbell Can We Talk, For A Minute Or Two

And By The Time You Drink Your Drink, Know If I Might Pursue

Whether Trifey Or You Wifey, Either One Or Two

Tell Me A Little Bout Urself, And Maybe What You Do

Me, I’m A Lover Slash Poet, And I Write Haikus’

On The Strength, I Been Checking, With My Third Eye View

And My Senses Hip Me To, What I Already Knew

But Do You Mind, If I Ask You Bout Your Back Tattoo?

Cause I Was Told That Location, Is A Bit Taboo

Is There A Story To Tell, Or Was It Out Of The Blue?

Oh Word, You Got That Done, On The Streets Of Peru

Never Would’ve Guessed, If You Had Gave Me A Clue

But I So Enjoyed Talking, To You For A Few

Tell Me Have I Peaked Your Interest, Did I Make A Breakthru

Cause All I Wanna Know, Is Can I Be By You…
