Don'T Get It Twisted

DON'T GET IT TWISTED

Countless times I've dashed my foot on stones
When I looked around and saw people around
I cried to draw their attention and sympathy
When I looked around and there were nobody
I held tight my pains and rid the tears off my face before they hit the tracks

Many times I've been alleged of what I never did
Many times I refuted and proved my innocency
Sometimes my tongue was just too heavy to speak a word
Yet that never made me guilty
I was just too confused to believe they could be that stupid and blinded by their ignoble act

Listen to me my heartthrob
Only you own the key to my bosom 
This has been your castle for many years
While I stood behind the runway and watch you journey to the far land
I pledged my unflinching commitment and I never yielded to the calls from the woods

I glow and glitter yet to you I owe the credits
Your name and praise litter my mouth 
Your thoughts flood my heart and stand firm
Since you swept me off my feet, I fall for no other one but stand for you and with you alone
Won't deny the storm, but even the hurricane I survived just because you stand with me

My dearest, look into my eyes once more and see if any of these has ever changed
Place your left hand on my neck and see if the fire isn't still burning as ever
Come closer and rest your head on my bosom
Tell me if this beats don't confess my fidelity
Glue your lips on mine and see if I'd let go of them a second

Panic not my love for I live my life for you
Life is too short, so why should we wear a long face
Life isn't fair in itself, so why can't we just spice it up for each other. 
The clouds may be thick but they hold nothing but rain
I light up my world and illuminate other's Making them happy makes me happy
When I'm happy I know you are too

Forget about my wall and believe my words
I share with none what we have in this world
Nothing will cut me off it, not even a sword
I revere you and treat you like a lord
Twisted and rugged, so strong is still our chord
I love your world and cherish what we can afford
That's all I do, please don't get it twisted at all.
