I Want That

I was listening to my iPod on the way to work as I always do (it deters the crazies from talking to me and I can lose myself in the music for 50 minutes and be in my own world, in my own thoughts having time to myself.)

I've been listening to a lot of love songs lately and I've throughly played out John Legend's new album Once Again.  I don't need to be listening to love songs, especially before I go to work, but that's another post.

Algebra Blessett's You Do It For Me (see lyrics below) came up today (you can find her HERE on MySpace) on my way to work and today I really listened to the lyrics and I had to go back and listen to the song again.  Then...I teared up and realized that that's something I want.

I want that someone that I wake up in the morning thinking about.  That someone who I care enough about I'd do anything for them, not because I have to, but because I want to.  Someone I can share THIS chapter in my life with.

I know part of my feeling this way and being so sensitive that a song makes me tear up is that I'm going through that phase of "I'm Tired of Being Alone" again.  And things were going well for awhile and then all of a sudden, it seems certain aspects of my life have started to fall apart.  And of course my good ol' favorite: my tendency to bottle up all of my emotions and then letting the bottle overflow.  Always at the most inopportune time.

And yes, you could say there is more backstory to this post, but I'll save it for another post.  All I can really say right now is...I want that and hopefully one day I will.  Hopefully sooner rather than later...but one day.

...got me daydreamin thinking bout rings and got me daydreamin...
...got me daydreamin thinking bout rings and got me daydreamin...
Here I go waking up yawning 6 in the mawnin
With you on my mind
I'm laying in bed scarf still on my head
Barely got the cold out my eyes
(reflecting)
Bout the conversation we had last night
And I'm reminded of why
I do the things I do just for you, for you
I don't have to think twice

I do it cuz I am grateful willing and able
I do it for you cuz you do it for me

You got me day dreamin
Thinking bout rings and switchin up my whole life style
I call you on the phone on my way home
Treating you is on my mind
I'll be cutting up greens picking pinto beans
I know you like rice and gravy
Be at my door before eight you bring the cake
Babe tonight will be fine

HK
I do it cuz he real with me
I do cuz he still with me
I do cuz I should
I do cuz your good for me good for me
I do it cuz I trust ya I do it cuz I must
and im doin it for us
I do it cuz I am grateful willing and able
I do it for you cuz you do it for me

BRIDGE

And I must say this sincerely
Everything I do I do it for you
