Here's a story 

Lovely lady 

Finest girl 

Don't give me woe



‘Cause she told me

That she loves me  

That she would not take control

So I told her 

I'm not fronting  

I won't mess with what I find 



Gonna keep her  

Close to me and 

Give her love that is divine 



I'm going to bring you back to reality 

Where things aren't always nice 

Lots of fussing

Lots of cussing  

Sometimes things don't turn out right



So I keep her close to me 

And tell her everything's all right  

No more crying 

No more shadows

Girl, I'll be your light  



Lady, don't be scared 

You know that we can do this right 

If only you would open up  

Scared of messing with your mind 



Now I'm not saying 

That I ain't free

‘Cause I know I'd do you wrong  

And I'm praying that you will see

That I do not mean you harm 



It ain't easy  

‘Cause I am me 

Sometimes hard to tell the truth 

Girl I'm trying 

Please believe that  

Try my best to close these wounds
