Hey! Let me tell you somethin
Uh, yeah
For my peeps on the, for my peeps in the
The jeeps in the, on the streets in the
Uh, the girls with the, fresh girls with the
Uh, everybody 'round the, 'round the world
All I wanna do is be happy
It was Harlem at the Ruckers, I saw you wit'cha man
Smilin, huh, a Coach bag in your hand
I was layin in the coupe with my hat turned back
We caught eyes for a moment, and that was that
So I skated off, as you strolled off
Lookin at them legs, god damn, they looked so soft (so fine)
I gotta take you from your man, that's my mission
If his love is real, he got to handle competition
You're only new five months
Besides, he drink too much and smoke too many blunts
And I be workin out every day, thinkin 'bout you
Lookin at my own eyes in the rearview
Catchin flashbacks of our eye contact
Wish I could lay ya on your stomach and caress your back
I would hold you in my arm, and ease your fears
I can't believe it, I ain't had a crush in years
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
(All I wanna do is be happy)
I see you at the bus stop, waitin every day
Your man must think it's safe for you to travel that way
And I don't wanna violate your relationship
So I lay back in the cut, with a crush that's a trip
Still, he can't stop me, from havin daydreams
Tonguin you down with uh, vanilla ice cream
Kissin on your thighs under moonlight
Searchin your body with my tongue, girl, all night
I wonder one day, could it be
Simple dreams, could turn into reality
Our love would come down so naturally
We would walk down the aisle of destiny
What, your man get his hustle on, got your type scared?
Break you off a little chump change to do your hair?
It seems to be enough to satisfy your needs
But there's a deeper level, if you'd follow I'd lead
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
(All I really wanna do is be happy)
Last week, I saw you at the mall
Standin at the payphone, 'bout to make a call
I had a vision, it was me on the other end
Tellin you come by, and then you walked in
I touched you gently with my hands
We talked about travelin to distant lands
Escapin all the madness out here in the world
Becomin my wife, no longer my girl, then
You let your dress fall down to the floor
Kissed you softly and you yearned for more
We experienced pleasure unparalleled
Into a ocean of love we both fell
Swimmin in the timeless currents of pure bliss
Fantasies interchangin with each kiss
Undyin passion unites our souls
Together we swim until the point of no control
But, it's a fantasy, it won't come true
We never even spoke and your man swear he love you
So I'ma keep all these feelings inside
Keep my dreams alive until the right time
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
(All I wanna do is be happy)
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
In love, in love, in love
This is more than a crush
(All I really wanna do is be happy)
