[Ari Lennox - Precious Flower, Cliche Country Joint lyrics]
Their shadows dance in the moonlight
Many moments to enjoy
Their love's a stage, he's a spotlight
She's wrapped all in his almond joy
She awakes like a mourning widow
But his scent remains
A letter lays underneath the pillow
He's off to work another day
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!"
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
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!"
Oh, yeah yeah
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie
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 (Yeah)
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! Ohh
Said Precious Flower, yeah, yeah!
