Don't you know
I'm sitting around
like a bump on a log
Dragging my feet
waiting for your call
Mama called me
about a quarter to nine
Didn't answer the call;
Don’t wanna block my line.
I’m sitting here thinking
Bout how I’m gonna do
without you around
in my life
and how am I
gonna get by
I ain't got no days
Just lonely nights
You want the truth?
Well [boy] I’m not alright…
How does it feel to know
you’re everything I need?
The butterflies in my stomach
Could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know
you’re everything I want?
I have a hard time saying this
so I’ll sing it in a song…
From the day that I saw you
I knew that we would pursue
Cause the chemistry we felt that day
Felt so real, and so true
The very first time that I saw
your brown eyes
Your lips said hello
and I said hi
I knew right then
you were the one
But I was caught up
In physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more
than just a face
From the very first time
that I touched you babe
Couldn’t find the words to say
you set me free
And every time that I kiss your lips
Nothin’ ever tasted quite like this
Or got so deep
Remember the first day
when I saw your face?
Remember the first day
when you smiled at me?
You stepped to me
and you said to me
“Sorry, didn't notice you there
But then again you didn't notice me.
So we'll remain passersby
Until the next time we speak.
I hope that I can make you mine
'Fore another man steals your heart.
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart.”
Remember the first day
when you called my house?
Remember the first day
when you took me out?
We had butterflies
although we tried to hide it.
And we both had a beautiful night.
The way we held each other’s hand;
the way we talked;
the way we laughed.
It felt so good
to find true love.
I knew right then and there
you were the one.
As we round the corner
to [my] house
you turned to me and said,
"I’ll be going through
withdrawal of you
for this one night
we have spent
I hate to see you go
Even though I know
when you’re comin’ back
It’s hard to breathe
without you girl
And baby that’s a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish you could stay
Every time you go away”
Why does tonight have to end?
Why don't we hit restart
and pause it at our favorite parts.
We’ll skip the goodbyes.
And as soon as I got home
I called my [friend] on the phone
I said “[Girl] you won’t believe
What just happened to me!
Let me tell you
why I love him
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that
he makes me feel
I know that he loves me
cause he told me so
I know that he loves me
cause his feelings show
when he stares at me
you know that he cares for me
you see how he is so deep in love.
Oh, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew
Once we started kissing
I found love.
I get so weak in the knees
I can hardly speak
I lose all control
What’s a girl to do?”
…
Looking back on a year we spent together
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side.
So here we are
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more
I wanna be with you
If only for one night
So, rendezvous.
Where to?
My place.
Say 2
and we can do
anything you wanna do.
Hey tonight is your night.
When you close your eyes,
take a minute,
take a moment,
realize.
Do you see me when you fantasize?
Tonight will be your night.
So come on
You know I just can’t take it
It’s seems like you’re ready.
Baby I can’t hold it much longer
It’s getting stronger and stronger
When I get that feelin’
I want sexual healing.
…
And now
The dawn is breaking;
A light shining through.
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you.
I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever
felt this way.
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin,
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin.
I try but I can't seem to get myself
to think of anything but you.
Your breath on my face
your warm, gentle kiss I taste,
I taste the truth.
I can’t believe
I’ve found a love so true and
I took my time to put
my trust in you.
I must admit it was
so hard to do.
And every minute that I
spend with you
You make me believe I
have nothing to lose and
Deep down I always knew
that you would be mine.
…
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
Consider this song a testament
Of my devotion
to your saccharine scent
And to be completely honest
You're not like all the rest
Beginners love,
soon fades away
We go on....
Long as I live
you will be my first love.

(This LONG piece was a way of me toying with writing by piecing together my favorite parts of love songs. I like to reread it and try and remember which part came from which song. Go ahead and try.)
