who indeed took over your soul
This man’s got swagger,
He’s not a Mr All Talk no action kinda guy
When he moves his lips its to speak the truth
He has his flaws and that makes him real
For we know you’re not Miss Perfect
He talks just like how he should,
He can roll out the mother tongue and
Switch it up in the next minute
He's your friend and your partner
He’s a hard worker and go-getter
He’s the one you’ll only ever truly love
He's the medicine to your pain
And you're not ashamed to admit to the world
You've got the love jones in your bones
