Let One Be Loved

Intro:
Designer cloths
Name brands
Omega watches
For both hands
Fast cars
Big dreams
Defeated feats
But here's the thing....

Verse 1:
I come off as selfish, and cocky, and patronizing
cause Id say things like
You're nothing but liquid cement
and ill leave you ass out for the drying
And this makes people want to step to me
so if you're going to step to me, better step to me
you say you have teh antidote
well then I say I have the recipe
oh no, but now thats pathetic
apparently you can say all the right things
and still not be understood by the means in which you said it
Why dont you people get it?
If you're trying to faze me
you better try a little harder
if you ever want to daze me
and maybe I am a little bit crazy
from the passion thats installed in me
from my birth of my future wifes pregnancy
and when I leave this planet's quarantine,
I want to leave my kids everything
including a good father legacy
so they'll never have to work as hard as my mom and dad did
in order to leave me their multi million dollar inheritancy

Hook:
Red Light
flashing on my blackberry
gotta new message
umm thats kinda scary
isolated from the world
just want you to be my girl
When will you fall from above
When will you let...
Let one be loved

Verse 2:
Forget the first verse
put it in a hurse, and
drive 'em off to the dirt
so that the sentiments aren't to hurt
the only thing that matters
is what is next said
I'm just looking for the same thing
everyone else wants before their dead
I'd give you my whole life
i'd take a bullet for you
and i'd never leave your side
not without a fight
I want to classically romance you
wine and dine you like the 50's
and compliment you with phrases like
"you sure do look quite nifty"
Mad Men's syndrome, we call it MMS
from advertising agencies
to that billboard beneath my left chest
let me put a roof over your head
with a big ol' hot tub
and a big ass bed
and although I know it's better left unsaid
but I want your love, and unlike cancer
it's better off when spread

Red Light
flashing on my blackberry
gotta new message
umm thats kinda scary
isolated from the world
just want you to be my girl
When will you fall from above
When will you let...
Let one be loved

Verse 3:
In order to slay the giant
one must not become a tyrant of isis
and study more history than mythology
and kill the oligarchy like ghandhi with his kindness
even though I know I'm not the nicest
Doing it big in this wally world
scan my bar code and you'll see the words price-less
But this anger isn't getting me any where
and my looks may be decieving
but its' only becasue I care
So I gotta stop pushing people away
Learning how to pull them back
or maybe in order for them to stay
I need to pull a little back
I know I need to watch what I say
Cuz im apprehensibly misunderstood
even if I was quoting The Fray
all through my lonely days
Still fighting faith
I know I have to find it
If I were only given a sign
you know I wouldn't decline it
Tired of not loving myself
I've gotta get that right
so that I can be loved by someone else
so that I can be her white knight
cause the green light only meant that I had no messages
so the dark knight in me is jumping off the ledge-end
going to finally let someone in, and
look over at my phone
What do I see?
Something that shouldn't be extraordinary
but a glimpse of how the ordinary should always be...
