Black Love Story

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I love the way you walk, I love your smile I know your inner joy, boy, sit for a while I love how you turn a phrase The kink in your hair I love that skin, and, baby, I need you here To fight together, to heal together Protect each other and love one another Respect each other and see each other 'Cause we're here still through pure will [Chorus] Where does the time go? How did we get here? Oh, what a mongrel are we We're in the midst of something triumphant Black love story [Verse 2] I love the way you think, I love your eyes I like your bottom lip, I love squeezing your thighs I love the way you give your heart Kind and unafraid I love all of the loving we've made Let's build together, travel this world together Create together, but support one another You are my cover, close as my brother My only lover, my children's mother [Chorus] Where does the time go? (Where does the time go?) How did we get here? (How did we get here?) Oh, what a mongrel are we (Oh, what a mongrel are we) We're in the midst of (We're in the midst of) Something triumphant (Something triumphant) Black love story (A black love) (A black love story)
