You Make Me Pleased

She says:
“Dusk, you ain’t clumsy
Just a trifle spasticated
You ain’t ragged
Just a bit rough around the edge
And you ain’t second rate
Only sometimes underrated
Dusk, you’re no Tarzan ape
Ya just need re-educated

Chorus
“So I’ll clue you in, babe
And I’ll tell it straight
I’ll show you what I want I need
Cause when it comes to lovin’ me
You’re more than equal to the task
And you sure do make me pleased”

Now that’s what my woman says to me
Means so much
And this is what I say to her in return…

I tell her:
“You’re not Greek sorority
But you’re my Alpha and Omega
Ya can’t outcook Betty Crocker
But you bake my sweet potato
Ya don’t launch no thousand ships
But you sail me south Jamaica
Won’t win Olympic gold
But you won my heart to stay, girl”

Chorus

And this is our song together…

“We ain’t got much sweet
But what we got sho’ nuff is ours
We don’t claim a chunk o’ Wall Street
But we got the bees an’ flowers
If someday we land a Lincoln
Or move to Don Trump’s towers
Well, that’s icing for our cake
But what we got right now is ours”

It’s important to be on solid ground as an individual, yes, then it’s grander yet to share the view with another.
