Song Lyrics

"Next Interlude"

by GRITS
Album: Dichotomy B

See, it's not that you ain't fine, it's just that I ain't interested
Yep, you guessed it, I'm the result of a love that never lasted 'cause lust was always present,
I was hoping, by the way I dressed and ignored your previous attempts, that it would be evident that sweet talk leaves a sour taste in my mouth when there's no substance behind the shallowness of your arrogance,
Your approach gives me an impression that you think I would find it a privilege that you extended a compliment my way,
All I can say is your affirmations are confirmations, not revelations that I'm the one to be pursued,
Brother, I thought you knew,
Yeah, you're fine, but good looks and tight gear won't get my time nearly as fast as a man who's got enough insight to see beyond my Coke-bottle figure, and enough vision to make me believe that their priority's not a bed buddy but a soulmate.

Time's a-ticking - I have no more to waste on little boys with Usher-like confessions,
But that Mac-daddy garbage you just recited, you're my carnal curse not spiritual blessing,
Fine men before your time taught me this lesson, and now I'm the one teaching you how to treat me, and those young girls who are following unknown, that a fine man makes them no less beautiful or deserving of better, more, God's best, no less,
I'm sorry, but at the risk of sounding rude...next.
