(Chorus)   [Erykah Badu]   There are times.. when you'll need someone..   I will be by your side..   There is a light, that shines,   Special for you, and me..      I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this   Gotta be somethin for me to write this   Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute   Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it   Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together   Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever   I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you   I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too   Because of you, feelings I handle with care   Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare   You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts   If relationship is effort I will match your work   I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most   They say the end is near, it's important that we close..   .. to the most, high   Regardless of what happen on him let's rely      (Chorus)      Yo, yo, check it   It's important, we communicate   and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch   I never call you my bitch or even my boo   There's so much in a name and so much more in you   Few understand the union of woman and man   And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land   But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write   For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light   If heaven had a height, you would be that tall   Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all   Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall   For better or worse times, I hope to me you call   So I pray everyday more than anything   friends will stay as we begin to lay   this foundation for a family - love ain't simple   Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually   Granted we known each other for some time   It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine      (Chorus)      Yeah.. yo, yo, check it   It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop   and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop   Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh   Suggestin beats I should rhyme to   At times when I'm lost I try to find you   You know to give me space when it's time to   My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness   Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence   The time we committed love it was real good   Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good   I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal   it's how I must treat you   As my reflection in light I'ma lead you   And whatever's right, I'ma feed you   Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da   Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace      (Chorus)
