    BOOK OF LOVE

    Baby,
    Don't peep the cover
    And ignore what's inside my book
    Wish ya wouldn't do that
    Have a second look
    4 though I appear to be
    An ordinary brotha
    There's so much more of me
    To discover
    Under my cover

    I tell a story
    Of tragedy and triumph
    Past pain and glory
    In my pretext
    I selected
    My words carefully
    To make sure pressimism
    Didn't allow my glass
    To appear half empty
    Baby I cried
    When I. Was a fool
    Yes I did
    A part of me died
    When I acted so cruel
    Now I realize
    You were a Queen of Hearts
    Baby I'm so sorry
    Don't allow a past prologue
    2 keep us apart

    Woman please
    Don't peep the cover
    And ignore my book
    Just take the time
    Let yourself unwind
    And have a second look
    Reread the passages
    That you once mistook
    For
    Arrogance
    Beligerence
    The mistakes I made
    In a naive
    Innocence
    Hangin out wit friends
    When I should've spent
    Time with you
    Securing our
    Existence
    In a world made for you and I
    Baby I can't turn back
    The hands of time
    But I can try
    To justify
    My worthiness now
    The lessons I haven't learned
    You can show me how
    To cuddle
    To snuggle
    To find the missing piece
    Of the puzzle
    To struggle
    To acchieve
    To have faith
    To believe
    In happy endings
    Like you and I kissing
    Passionately by a
    Babbling brook
    Just don't
    Lord I hope you won't
    Peep the cover
    And ignore my book
    Of love
    Starring you
