Throwin' Marbles
I’m a cat’s eye in a box of jailhouse bones,
one move on my part boys is catchin’ a love jones
Phone bouncin’ off the cradle at 3 in the morning,
by the sound of his voice I can tell the tears was about to start pouring,
Said he heard a love song and was thinking of me,
telling them not to catch feelings is like talking to a tree,
Though I can’t blame it, hey I love them all,
they know I’ll hold em down
cause I let them fall
asleep in my lap after they tear up the town,
I’ll be strokin’ their skin, lovin that chocolate brown
Things with baby’s mama starting to get sour?
just tell me where you at, I’ll meet you in an hour,
Whether you need a rubdown, or someone to listen while you talk,
I know you’re hardcore gangster, but know with me it’s okay to be soft,
In time you’ll see that even through hard times I’m not running off,
if ever you should fall down I’m holding you aloft,
It blows my mind the electricity and attraction already between us,
And because I never felt it before I’d never have known I needed it,
Time has a funny way of slippin’ when you’re high on love and trippin’
I’m not liking being caught up, I’m biting and I’m pushing you,
away from me but it’s too late cause you already have my heart,
You must’ve help up cupid, took his bow and shot me with a dart,
Maybe someday we’ll settle down but I really doubt it,
You still wildin’ out and I’m just not about it
Just knowing that we’re looking at the same sky means all the world to me,
Although if I’m not with you my heart just isn’t free,
The place beside me is empty - only you can fill the void,
and when I’m kickin’ it with the others, I’m just filling the silence with white noise,
Sometimes I find your name escaping from my lips when it shouldn’t,
And its not like he didn’t try to do me like you do - he couldn’t
Walking down the street I’m drifting into a dizzy feeling
Last time I saw you, you in front of me, you’re kneeling,
My legs are shaking, skin getting hot,
ooh, the memory is so erotic
Soon as you touch the sunshine I’m getting wetter than the tropics
Now I think I’m gonna lose my mind
It’s time to switch the topic…
It’s gonna be a full time job forgetting and getting over you,
But I want to keep my sanity so I know I’m gonna have to,
When all this mess is over I’ll probably read it back to myself and laugh
Cause baby, no matter how much I love you,
I’m looking forward to putting you in my
past.
