Verse 1

Now the first time I saw ya, I was on the corner of 125th and Broadway
She was coming out the station, our eyes connected. Then I started walkin her way
She had 5411's, silver doorknockers, hair in a pony tail nice
Just the kinda lady that I like
See she wasn't even trying, but looking flyer than the other type
Now how are you so beautiful? Just couldnt walk by you
Said her name was Erica, I smiled and said, Badu?
Rolled her eyes, guess she heard that before
Said if your name is Tyrone, please be headed for the door
(Guess I'll see you next life tme)
Nah my name's Elijah. Peace queen, I love to write rhymes
She had the ill bright shine
Sending chills down my spine
And I could see that she was in her right mind

Chorus

Now this ain't just another love song
You done got it all wrong
Said I know you heard this before, but I think you are the one
You are the prototype
Just what I been waiting for all my life
So won't you tell me what you like
And maybe I can love you right

Verse 2

Conversation continued
Said how can I pretend you, aint this beautiful
I put my heart on the menu
Its eating me alive
Can I see whats inside
May I tap into your mind
See whats happening
Divine, aint a word I'll be happy with describing her
She so much more than the kind you catch a crush on
Asked me what I think of love. Said I aint never scared, Bone Crusher
I'm no Usher
But you remind me of a queen that I once knew
Ghetto Rapunzel, let your hair down out that headwrap
Asked me what I'm gettin into
I got a show tonight at this uptown venue
So jot my number down. Hit me up around seven
Put your number in my phone, under the name Heaven
(Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows, a love like this)

Chorus
