Back To Back We Faced Each Other

Back To Back We Faced Each Other
By Shericka Murphy

I think the sun sets in his eyes
I think he got wings and that sometimes he flies
I hope he never dies.
And He's so wise--
I think love swims in his soul
He said I make him whole
Man love can really take a toll.
I think he loves everything
 And I think the man can sing.
Happiness is all he can bring.
 And I think the flowers grow cause' he plants them for me
I think the waves rise because he swims in the sea
And he can be hot and cold, just like tea.
He aint' broke but the love he gives is free.
The richest man I ever did know
And The man moves with the smoothest flow
And man he makes my love grow.
And he makes fun of my big toe
But he loves me though
I know so--
I also think the moon lights the earth cause' he told it to
I think he's the reason why the cows go moo
I think he's the reason why everything does what it do
And I think he knew--
That I loved him when he first came on the scene
I think that's why he stays so clean
You know what I mean
He knows how to make me feel like a lady
And he he never be actin' shady
He didn't ask me to love him, he made me
Cause' I think his heart is made of gold
His bruises are new but his pain is old
Or so I was told
He took my flesh and he began to mold.
I officially belong to him
And we both love to love when the lights are dim
And we don't care about them-- 
Or what they have to say
We do what we wish, and we wish what we may
And it's okay--
And we can sleep outside and be alright
We can hold each other just as tight
As the night--
Falls around us, and we can hear his mother
Yelling crazy things at his brother
And back to back we faced each other
