My First Song ...

Here are the lyrics to the first song I've ever penned. I wrote it about a week ago. It started out as an ode to a current situation - but it evolved ... into a guy kind of daydreaming about this crush, a fine tender roni like the Iesha ABC talked about, that he has that he sees with another man. He wants her, and wants to share her with no one else.

Don't be harsh, but tell me what you think.

(I Want You) All To Myself

I saw you the other day,
Walking with a friend
Couldn’t tell if that was it
Or if he was possibly your man
Though he could be next of kin
I knew that guy could comprehend
Why I had to take a shot
I didn’t mean to meddle
But I had to pick the petals,
And discern if you’d love me
or love me not
(hook)
Look at you, can you blame me,
For falling for you the way I do
Is there some way, to contain me,
From feeling the way I do?
Don’t desire to share you
How dare you ask that I do
It’s not likely to happen cause
There’s one thing I hold to be true

(Chorus)
(I Want You) All To Myself
When I open up your heart
(I want to) find no one else
Just me, just you
Doing the things lovers do
(Brisk walks, bodies stimulated by truth talk)
Knowing in you, I will never fail
But how will I be able to tell?

My parents gave me a brother,
I grew to know many more
My door & frig were always open
But you, the thought of sharing wasn’t meant for
So step away from that other situation
Let me give you the adoration
You seem to be yearning for
Just give me your attention
Did I forget to mention
I’ll leave you longing for more
(Hook)
Trust love, you can’t tame me
From cherishing you the way I do
Don’t even try to contain me,
You know this isn't a fluke
No need to share you
How dare you ask that I do
It’s not likely to happen because
There’s one thing I hold to be true

(Chorus)
(I Want You) All To Myself
When I open up your heart
(I want to) find no one else
Just me, just you
Doing the things lovers do
Brisk walks, bodies stimulated by truth talk
Knowing in you I will never fail
But how will I be able to tell?

How can I tell?
How can I tell?
You’re not telling a tale…
Walk with me
Talk to me
Trust me we won’t fail

(Chorus to fade)
