love was sold; I didn’t try it
advertised, I didn’t buy it
but then my boy walked into my life
didn’t unlock any door
I’d seen those velvet rooms before
but he took the blade out of the knife
boy, my boy
he got me hoppin, got me jumpin up with joy
and when we lie in the tall grass and watch the clouds
you know I’m loving you aloud
and all of this time
I’ve been trying to find
my boy
death was on a silver platter
implications didn’t matter
gave me water, seeds, and then a choice
city lights showed me a route
life within and life without
raised a glass, a child, and my voice
stop crying, Aurunculeia
ain’t that what the poets say-ah
there’s no girl more beautiful and coy
but I’m better off than her
cause we aren’t what the Romans were
she’s got strangers and I’ve got my boy
my boy is my raging sea
my boy is my rosary
didn’t know my heart could be so strong
You, the things you say to reach me,
All the little things you teach me
You are what I wanted all along
