Brother Ali, Nikki Jean - Shine On lyrics
[Brother Ali, Nikki Jean - Shine On lyrics]
Don't pay me no mind, baby shine shine shine
Don't pay me no mind, sugar
Shine shine shine
I had seen you when the hosted seated you
In a station of mine still I'm taking my time
Made sure the moment got seized
Made up my mind
Through a napkin over my sleeve
Straightened my tie
Mind if I behold you through
The fold of your menu
Couture, all up against you, oh lord
How could I convince you? I just met you
And I'm instantly listening
To your instrumental
Poor me, I poured water inside your glass
For a brief moment our eyes had kind of met
I confess, I felt that inside my chest
Almost made quite a mess yet I digress
I would guess you're meeting a date here
I offer
She order hors d'oeuvres while she wait here
She brushed her bangs to clear off her face
Yeah parted her lips and turned
Crab cakes to Shakespeare
The way the lady bait a trap
I'm afraid to ask
My imagination act, I run away with that
Run away with me, I swear I'm not a maniac
I'll give you that pretty diamond ring
And last name to match i ain't saying that
I practiced waiting in the back
I know I better make it fast
Before her date get back
Yeah, I place her order, grabbed the plate
Relaxed
Here, let me fix my face get my game in tact
Fear, I chased the clock as
I can't make it stop
I played the waiter job
Made it to the table top
Time to play your cards
Ace got to take your shot
Before I could speak he showed
Up to devastate the plot
Her real server showed up
My plan fell through
"Sir, are y'all together? Ma'am
Can I help you?"
She looking puzzled, I stand without words
I'm sorry, I don't really work here - awkward
Let me explain
You see I ain't much for wait and see
So when I seen you take a
Seat I played maitre d'
She replied angrily, "Mister, I can't believe
You'd stand your grown ass in this
Place and play games with me
Crazy freak, wait
How did you get all that food?"
I ordered from the table around the
Corner and brought it to you
Can't say I thought it through
Ma'am it's all sort of new
But when I saw you I sort of
Knew I had to talk to you
And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible
So I called an audible Serve
You? I'm honoured to
I didn't mean to bother you
I just want to watch a few
Moments of your life much like a
Fly on a wall would do never mind me
The light from your unusually
Bright shine blinded me
So that was all I could see
I understand if you don't want to talk to me
I'll just leave, pardon me
I'll just take this little
Broken heart and leave
"Wait, that was a stupid thing to do
But my date didn't show up and
My table's set for two"
I pulled on my coat like, aw look at you
That's all I really wanted
Ma'am enjoy your afternoon i'm through
Don't pay me no mind, sugar
Shine shine shine
I had seen you when the hosted seated you
In a station of mine still I'm taking my time
Made sure the moment got seized
Made up my mind

Straightened my tie
