9th Wonder - Dance With Me lyrics

[Verse 1] From the moment that I met her, I knew that she'd be mine We were twins, best friends, perfectly aligned I loved Carrie Bradshaw, she loved Hennessy We were two halves of the same energy She was from NY, I was from LA She said that she liked me, just not in that way And that was okay, I win her heart through friendship But once I had that, there was the distance I dated 'round the way, she dated local dudes We had something but neither of us wanted to move We knew we'd be together, we didn't know when But long distance love, never thought it would end The feelings never changed, until the call came You were engaged, I was in pain It was such a shame, the timing it just wasn't right So I say good luck, and then I say goodnight [Hook] We back and forth, we in and out Is this love? What's this about? We forth and back, we out and in Is this love? Or we just friends? (Back and back and forth and forth Back and back and forth and forth We move back, we move, forth, we move out, we move in Now they're playing our song and we dancing again [Verse 2] Then there she was, and I forgot We were in love, she took your spot Shot through the heart, I never thought I'd feel so good I was appreciated, I was understood She was from my hood, we hella hit it off I had to lose your number, she said we couldn't talk But I keep tabs on you through mutual friends Kinda hoping that your engagement would come to an end And then it did, but I didn't care You were into me, I just wasn't there I had a girl, and I couldn't leave her But she could tell I loved you, so I had to leave her You and I talked, we made a deal If this sh** ever end, we would be friends still Deep down, I always knew I'd never be complete until I knew this thing between you and I was really real [Hook] [Verse 3] The first time we made love it was unreal Let's go get them rings, it was a done deal Wonder why we wasn't doing this the whole time We named kids, looked at cribs, the whole nine We planned the wedding, we told our friends They said that we were happier than we had ever been It was exactly like I thought it'd always turn out A future so bright eventually it burned out And there it went, down in flames Too many differences, too much the same We yell and scream, we cuss and fight Relationships need balance and we were just too much alike Now we only talk on funerals and birthdays Probably should've never got together in the first place But all the dancing and messing around Helped me finally realize when it was time to settle down
