Love is an Oldie

[Verse] Another one of them far-off visions Vivid hallucinations of a life not yet lived I can hear 'em in the distance Singin' that same ol' song again And it goes a lil' somethin' like this [Chorus] Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm [Verse] It goes like that, ooh, like that Heart-attack, cardiac Call the paramedic, take the heart off of my sleeve No, I ain't no superhero, but I'll never leave On the field, every play, rain, snow, or sleet In the heat of the summer, on the corner, smokin' leaf I done played in the cold, then my body couldn't feel With a tear in my eye and a smile from cheek to cheek But it's more than the heart, more than the pain You get more than what you want when you get more than what you need With a lot on my mind, it's more than I can think It ain't ever been a secret, ain't been more than what you see See me for who I am, I ain't more than who I be I got a lot on my hands, like, "Damn, they for me?" When I was a boy, it was more than just a dream Now it's more than what it was and way more than it seems [Chorus] Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm [Bridge] My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Ooh, yeah, yeah At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you [Verse] Talk about your past, you was young and wild My love is still like an oldie, my momma know me As if you never seen my face, you never know me My love is still like a oldie, you never know me Talk about my past, I was young and wild I was sixteen, same things Eighteen, had big dreams Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams I was sixteen, same things Eighteen, had big dreams Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams I was sixteen, same things Eighteen, had big dreams Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams I was sixteen, same things Eighteen, had big dreams Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams My love is still like a oldie, my momma know me My love is still like a oldie, you never know me My love is still like a oldie, you never know me My love is still like a oldie, my momma know me [Verse] So you can see The rhythm like waves, not a small boat at sea Check the degree It's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me A chef with the recipe But they lack the ingredients Pistol Pete in the heat, couldn't compete, a deviant I can't control the creative flow, that's how I know Ain't it strange how you know who you know And the thoughts you sow can grow in the garden of your soul? I mean, damn, man, look at you, and you know But you always knew, you always had a clue Now it's clear and you see the view You can't believe it's true I'm looking at you like, "It's me, it's you" It never matters how it looks It's not what you know but who knows you, and you know me Now it seems to me Now it's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me [Chorus] How can it be? Now it's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me And you know me And you know me
