You Got It Bad

"Hey… Did you miss me?"
"Yeah, Boo… How was your day?"
"I gotta make this quick.  He's supposed to come home soon.  You know…."
"I know, Boo.  I know.  How was your day?"
"It was cool.  I miss you though.  When can I see you?"
"When can I see you...?  That's up to you.  What can you arrange?"
"Tomorrow… he's… well, he's going out of town… I don't have to be home.  He's taking the kids… But he'll have the car."
"Alright, Boo… tomorrow.  What time should I pick you up?"
"I'll call you… As soon as he leaves, I'll call you.  I love you."
"I love you…. Does he work tonight?"
"I don't know.  I'll call you back if he does…"
"Night…"
"Night…"


Yeah, we met in a chat room,

You asked me to wait.  I waited.

We chatted online for awhile.

And then I called you.

The phone calls became a nightly thing.

He worked the late night shift so

Midnight Love got us started.

We talked until it was close to daylight.

But after a while I started

Sneaking out, making excuses

Just to see you smile.

I knew it was wrong,

And I couldn't stop.

I felt too good when I was with you.

There's something about the way you

Kiss me, hug me, touch me…

And it isn't a sexual thing.

But the sex, oh, the sex…

I don't even have to tell you

How you made my legs tremble…

And somehow you convinced me

To surpass all of the boundaries

That I once had set,

Without ever saying a word.

I remember I was in the car

Waiting in a drive thru.

I was with him… not you…

Usher came on the radio.

He was telling me how bad I had it…

And after all this time

It made sense.

I realized why his beating my ass

Did not keep me from seeing you.

With all of the phone calls

And secret meetings

I realized that I could never

Love the man I was with.

It was time to start a life of my own.

I thought about it

And I talked about it,

But you didn't believe in me.

It happened.  I left.

And you didn't want me.

Not anymore.

This is when I realized that

You spoke with sex when I

Was speaking with my heart.

You wanted me because you

Couldn't have me.

And when you could have me

I lost my shine in your eyes.
