Ari Lennox - Precious Flower lyrics

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

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

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 it's 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!
