Atmosphere - The Number One lyrics

rate me

Her name was Stephanie something

She lived out in Richville, right off of Portland

I'm talking bout back in the ninth grade

Still had a pony tail, couldn't grow a high fade

Used to take the 5 way out to the suburbs

Waitin at the bus stop, there was my lovebird

She would get on, sit down, scoot me over

And smile with a jheri curl restin on my shoulder

And we would hit the mall together

Maybe hold each other's hand or share a Dr. Pepper

And all we ever did was kiss, no sex

But in our defense, there was never any stress

You're number one (x4)

On the phone late at night when I'm supposed to be in bed

Mama doesn't know I'm talking to Lynette

I had a lot of sweet nothing to say

You could say a whole lot of nothing has changed to this day

We was fourteen, but she had breasts

Although we was both too young for anything sexual

Just wanted her to know that she was special

She used to write me notes, do you like me, yes no?

And I don't know if it was practice for later

But both of us would break up back to spend time together

I don't ever remember trying to make her feel bad

Back then we didn't see things like that

There used to be a spot called the Boulevard theatre

And as a kid when a movie came out I would see it there

Sneakin in to the R-rated feature

I think I was fifteen, that's how I met Lisa

She showed up with a group of fly girls

So me and my crew was in superfly world

After the flick we all went outside

Paired off, took a walk into that night

I can't imagine that happening now

The innocence is gone and all the magic ran out

I wonder if my son will get to understand the fun

That comes from the summer with the one you call the one

There used to a be a fear and a nervousness

But back then it wasn't cause of domestic disturbances

It used to just hurt your heart

But now it's not enough until it rips the universe apart

Got to see a lot of love when I was a kid

Heartbreak made me wanna die but I never did

So this is for my own babysitter,

Wanted to sneak out and fall asleep by the lake with ya

Smells like candy, felt like family

For every girl that ever held me in the back seat

Used to vision being love struck with em

Till I got blindsided by these grown-up women <br />
