Lyrics

[Intro: Common] Yeah Doo-doo-doo, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm Doo-doo-doo-diggy-doo, yo [Verse 1: Common] I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this Gotta be somethin' for me to write this Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute Wrote this letter and finally decide to send it Signed, sealed, delivered, for us to grow together Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you I ain't gon' assault 'em 'cause I probably did it too Because of you, feelings I handle with care Some niggas recognize the light, but they can't handle the glare You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts A relationship is effort, I will match your work I want to be the one to make you happiest and hurt you the most They say the end is near, it's important that we close To the most high Regardless of what happen, on Him, let's rely [Chorus: Bobby Caldwell & Common] There are times When you'll need someone (Yeah) I will be by your side (For sure, for sure) There is a light that shines Special for you and me Yo, yo, check it [Verse 2: Common] It's important we communicate And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch I never call you my bitch or even my boo There's so much in a name and so much more in you Few understand the union of woman and man In sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land But that's fly by night, for you, in the sky, I write For in these cold Chi nights, moon, you my light If Heaven had a height, you would be that tall Ghetto to coffee shop, through you, I see that all Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall For better or worse times, I hope to me, you call So I pray every day more than anything Friends we'll stay as we begin to lay This foundation for a family Love ain't simple, why can't it be? Anything worth havin', you work at annually Granted we known each other for some time It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine [Chorus: Bobby Caldwell & Common] There are times When you'll need someone I will be by your side, oh, darling There is a light that shines (Yeah) Special for you and me Yo, yo, check it [Verse 3: Common] It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop Plus you shit pop when it's time to Thinkin' you fresh, suggestin' beats I should rhyme to At times when I'm lost, I try to find you You know to give me space when it's time to My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness Truthfully it's hard tryin' to practice abstinence The time we committed love, it was real good Had to be, for me to arrive and it still feel good I know the sex ain't gon' keep you But as my equal, it's how I must treat you As my reflection, in light, I'ma lead you And whatever's right, I'ma feed you Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da Yo, I'll tell you the rest when I see you, peace [Chorus: Bobby Caldwell] There are times When you'll need someone I will be by your side, oh, darling There is a light that shines Special for you and me [Outro: Bobby Caldwell] Take my chances be— be— be— be— Before they pass (Pass, pass) Pass me by, oh, darling You need to look at the other side You'll agree
