Woah, you make it easy in the mind, yo
I can never see my life outside of you
Even though I'm broken, got me feelin' strong
Everything that's spoken doesn't need a song
I only wanna be the one to get along, I
I admire you, naturally I do adore you
With the measure of a woman, I mean to restore you
I love you like a mother loves her only son

Every time I hear you speak, I feel enough
Even in my dreams, I see our kids and stuff
Even on my hard days, I wanna kiss your scars
I got the same ones on my heart
I'll be ya future baby mama, teacher, lover, friend
While I'm all of the above, you know I can't pretend
I'll be your lioness, I'll post up in your den
I, sing it, bae
