The Way

It's the first time anybody's ever gave a fuck
And the first time that I felt like I could open up
I was so surprised
Uh, quit just saying shit that you don't mean
Talk to me like I'm five sometimes
You tend to know that I lie sometimes
Because I grew up with too much pride
Why is love's so hard to recognize

So we tread over every bump and mistake
It's part of the road and I'm open to change
I trust you to show me the way

We used to make so much love
Now all we ever do is cuddle
You see me for more than my body
Somehow I still think you don't want me
'Cause niggas is crazy
Or maybe I'm just crazy
We're two peas in a pod
Every other was toxic
I can't trust a man if he's breathing
But I'd follow you into a burning building
For you I'm willing (willing, willing, ooh)

So we tread over every bump and mistake
It's part of the road and I'm open to change
I trust you to show me the way
