It's ten a.m. and I just woke up   Walked to the window and opened the shades up   Sun so bright that I can hardly see   but I'm a black man so I pass on a tan   dip to the bathroom take me a shower   but first called up my girl told her be ready in an hour   I was still a bit tired man I'm laggin'   grabbed the tooth brush to kil the dragon   ooh have mercy great day in the morning   turn on the water and I'm stretchin' and yawnin'   tryin' to get a blend to the hot winter cold   man I'm young but why I feel so old   get it just right then step to the mirror   rubbin' my eyes to make my vision get clearer   everything looks a-o.k   and today is gonna be a lovely day      Chorus:   (a lovely day) lovely day lovely day lovely day lovely daze (lovely daze) X 2      So I jet out the crib and hop in the benzo   today is my girls day can't none of my friends go   just me and her top down on the highway   if you're gonna do it then why not do it the fly way   first a car wash next the barber shop   then off to my girls crib that's my next stop   a dozen roses a card and candy   I'm a true mackadocious Mr. Romanty   she hoped in and she asked where we're goin'   yo we like a twig in the nile we just flowin'   maybe to the beach or maybe hook up a picnic   but yo it doesn't matter cause today we just kickin' it   I threw in my homemade slow tape   and off to the beach for some beautiful landscape man   this is a bonafide lovers delight   got the ocean on the left the mountains on the right   I said yeah cause that's the way I was feelin'   free as a bird got the clouds for a ceiling   I wish that I could press the gas and fly away   today has been a lovely day      chorus      it's dark outside now and it's gettin' kinda late   the date was great but here comes the moment that I hate   it's too bad a lovely day has gotta end up like this   a wave goodbye with a hug and good night kiss   mmmm I said good night my lovely I said mmmm good night my lovely   she said what you gonna leave me all alone   oh I forgot to tell you there ain't nobody home   now y'all know me I'm a real cool guy but inside things was kinda like the fourth of July   I walked inside I said hello there miss   then she gave me a kiss oh you want some of this   unh passion building mentally bonding   slowly I caress her and she's respondin'   just close your eyes and keep thinkin' of me   here I come girl   mmm lovely      chorus
