Ari Lennox - Precious Flower lyrics

[verse 1] Their shadows dance in the moonlight, many moments to enjoy Their love's a stage, hes a spotlight, She's wrapped all in his almond joy But she awakes like a mourning widow, but his scent remains A letter lays underneath the pillow, he's off to work another day [Chorus] Tell me why, mhm, she's livin' a lie, mhm She says "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!" Said, "I can't sleep until you find your way back home! And I know what we're doing is wrong But I count the hours until your back in my arms!" [Verse 2] Oh, The bodies cradled in the night sky,another day that she degrades Because she knows that you're mine, she always gotta have her way And I can't stand to be alone, so I guess I'll settle Makin' up these lies, drowning in your flower petals [Chorus] Tell me why, mhm, I'm livin' a lie, mhm I said. "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!" I can't sleep until you find your way back home! And I know that you're doin' wrong But I count the hours until your back in my arms!" [Bridge] Oh, yeah yeah You lie, you lie, you lie (x5) OH OH Precious Flower don't be gone too long (don't be gone now! don't be gone now!) Said I can't sleep until you find your way back home Oh, and I what we're doin' is wrong, But I count the hours until your back in my arms, yea I can't take it, said tell me who the hell is she I thought we made it, said now I see its just a dream Kiss me with lies and otherwise of where you've been But I refuse to share you with another lover, Precious Flower!, yeah! yeah! Oh yeah! Ohhh Said Precious Flower, yeah! yeah!
