MC Lyte - For All the Years lyrics

rate me

I love is old school like Mary Jane

Boston baked beans and candy canes

Exchanged look on a number two train

Run catch kiss sunshine or rain

Jackson 5, Good Times and Jefferson

Yeah baby, you know I liked it better when

You lived closer but then you moved

But that couldn't stop our groove

My magic man, my Brooklyn boy wonder

I rub your shoulders the pressure you was under

Late night rides after sunrise

Catch a flick or two and then back to bed side

You in the bubblegoose me in the sheep skin

Cold as hell back when it wasn't matterin

Long as we were hand in hand you were my man

And I'm your girl faith in all the world

[Chorus]:

This is for all the years you've been

My companion as well as my best friend

So tonight babe I'm givin you

What you wants it's all yours

[Chorus 1x in the background]

Our love is like a Romeo and Juliet film

So surreal but yet picturesque

There were problems I can admit it

But we handled it and still the candles lit

So glad that we didn't just end it

Cause now we real independents

Who would have thought the cute little boy from down the street

Would fall in love with me

It's like a number one dream come true

To have somebody you love love you

And that's all that matters

That we grow together make sure we never shatter

You're the reason I live

Because I want you to get all that I got to give

Long as we're hand in hand

You my man I'm your girl

Ready to conquer the world

[Chorus]

Our love is mystical like galaxies you can't touch

Around the world and back again I love you that much

Our love is destiny like Bonnie and Clyde

We'll die of old age side by side

Throughout the days I remained truthful

I keep it tight for you sexy and youthful

I told my mom when our days are through

If you have to go first bury me next to you

What I feel is unexplainable

I love you this ain't enough to say to you

You've been there from the beginning to the end

My companion as well as my best friend

You got my heart now here's my life

Yes I'm ready to be your wife

From here on know that you're the one

Anything that you want it's done

[Chorus]
