Plain and True (GZA Neo-Soul Mix)

V6-MINI

[Intro] There's a mess in my room Best me, grabbing you Flix, shampoo Yeah yeah yeah yeah Different level with you I'm the sweetest girl for you I'm dressed in Prada too And touching on you [Verse 1] You say the room’s a mess; I say the view’s expensive, Two plates, one candle, your old robe—very exclusive. I brought a little velvet box, rehearsed a speech in traffic, You looked inside and asked, “Does this come with something practical?” I laughed, then felt the laugh fall short against the table, Your hand around the chipped blue mug, my promises unstable. I know the names on every tag, the gloss, the polished leather, But none can stitch a quiet heart or make a hard night better. I keep on bargaining in silk: “Just tell me what you’re missing.” You say, “A little less display, a little more of listening.” So I set down the grand campaign, the receipt, the grand illusion; Love isn’t bought in matching sets, or solved by substitution. [Chorus] [Original female chorus, preserve verbatim and retain recognizable melody] I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty (I can't control it babe I miss your warranty) [Verse 2] I learned to say “forever” with a flourish and a flourish cost, A rented car, a view, a suite—then lost the thread we’d almost caught. You said, “You make a lovely case, but where’s the person in it?” I checked my watch; it had no answer, though I’d paid a pretty minute. You want the truth without the ribbon, not a jewel-box apology; The kind that stays when plans go wrong and pride turns into comedy. I once sent roses to your office—wrong floor, wrong name, wrong day; The receptionist kept the card. At least one heart got saved that way. Now when you ask what I can give, I won’t inflate the offer: My time, my attention, both feet planted when the talk gets tougher. The finest things can catch the light, but light can’t make them stay; I’d rather show up plain and true than promise you the whole display. [Chorus] [Original female chorus, preserve verbatim and retain recognizable melody] I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty (I can't control it babe I miss your warranty) [Final Chorus] [Original female chorus, preserve verbatim and retain recognizable melody; slightly richer backing harmonies] I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty I'm so in love with you I can't control it babe I miss your warranty (I can't control it babe I miss your warranty) [Outro] [Instrumental]
