(Verse 1)
I met her at school, high school was unordinary
The right tools to find love were subordinary
A fat black kid, attractin' absolutely no one
Fearin' that I'd never find love in the horizon
Walkin' through thunder with lightning in my palm
Singin' to myself this very sweet song
A very deep talk with myself everyday
Mutterin' and mumblin' others to stay away
I shut out everybody so the tears be unnoticeable
Wonderin' to myself why love is so quotable
The tears build up to a certain extent
It's somethin' sort of similar to what the words prevent
The thoughts of bein' alone always roamed in my heart
I'd rather be just loved and kissed instead
Will the thoughts ever end, will the distraught depend
Will the love lock itself on my body and spread
Sittin' by myself in the afternoon on a park bench
I let my thoughts drift, causin' my heart to wrench
My heart cringed, but a miracle done happened
It's the reason why I feel so dumb happy
I met you, and the hurtful pain done lifted
Now I know why love is so gifted
You're the damn near the reason why I'm livin' so new
Console you, there's not enough love I can show you
(Chorus)
Love was the cure, hurt was the pain
Thinkin' to myself everyday
When will I love, and when will I break
Feelin' all sorrow everyday
Love was the cure, hurt was the pain
Thinkin' to myself everyday
When will I love, and when will I break
Feelin' all sorrow everyday
(Verse 2)
That day, to be anxiously specific
Special, lovable, amazing, splendid
The very first day we joined as two lovers
Made my life do a back-spin
Happy and happen to be attached to you, actually, as a person
The girl that made my ice-cold heart stirred in comfort
I couldn't thank you more, I couldn't thank you less
I could be a better boy, but never ya pest
Honeybee, I had a lovely dream last night
I was in a black suit, you were dressed in white
Our mutual friends lookin' in awe at our ceremony
The dark thoughts in my head was tearin' from me
Standin' in front of everybody with mutual space
The white gown draped over your beautiful face
The man delivers the speech, and asks me to kiss my bride
No hesitation, I do it with pride
Hand-in-hand, just us, floating in love
The connection of our rings bright enough to knock out the sun
A married man, a married woman, a**umin' that they can live
Ten months later, gave birth to two twins
It's a family, two more kids, four plates to feed
We get older, our kids lazy, agin'
I look up in the mirror, I see wrinkles in my face
Sixty-four-years-old, not a year was a waste
Later, you and our children at my funeral
You dressed in black, cryin' your eyes out
I wake up, and I bawl my eyes out
I can't lose you, you too special to my life now
(Chorus)
Love was the cure, hurt was the pain
Thinkin' to myself everyday
When will I love, and when will I break
Feelin' all sorrow everyday
Love was the cure, hurt was the pain
Thinkin' to myself everyday
Now, I have loved, and love is great
Lovin' you every damn day
