Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown (brown), deep (deep)
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives (word)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
Talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell-topped Adidas
He was fresh like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm
At night, we would watch the stars
And he would physically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy
I felt dizzy and so near heaven and miles between my thighs
Better than love, we made delicious
He me had, had me he, he had me tongue-tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip and he was my love
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
The rain was falling and, and slowly and sweetly
And stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me, non-clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was falling
And I couldn't see the season changing
And the vibe slipping off its axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody (melody)
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Wide open, wide, loose
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin
And landed in his lap
And us became new
Me, not clairvoyant and in love
Made me the fool
You were never true
If you didn't want me
Ah, you should have let me know
All you did was make a mockery of something so
Incredible, beautiful (love rain down on me, on me, down on me)
I honestly did love you, so (love rain down on me, on me, down on me)
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
