Been A Few Years

Pitch black
I'm on the other side of the fence
Sneaking out for a kiss yeah
Just to tell you I like you
There ain't nobody like you
Who you gonna dance with
Who you gonna dance with
Who you gonna dance with
Mmm yeah

It's been a long time since you felt that affection
I know it's been a long time since you had that attention
Let me backtrack for a second
When your name was first mentioned
A mother's touch and inflection
Hear her voice, that connection I mean

It's been a few years, ain't it
It's been a few years, ain't it?
It's been a few years, ain't it
It's been a few years, ain't it?

Eighteen's coming, I wonder what happens now
Will she keep me safe or am I gon' slip and drown?
All it takes is effort, reminding myself out loud
Stand in front my mirror, I'm acting like it's a crowd
Save a thousand people through lyrics I'm writing down
From the sorrow of tomorrow, I'm taking on back my crown
Lately it's been slipping, I'm tripping My mind is ripping, I'm dozing off out of practice
Fifteen was just full of malice, uh

But It's been a few years, ain't it
It's been a few years, ain't it?
It's been a few years, ain't it
It's been a few years, ain't it

He's the only one on my mind He's the only one I call
When I'm feeling reckless Tell me that you're mine
Open up your heart for a minute Let me see the things you've got up in there
