What makes me happy?
When I am with you?
Say, love.
Say, love.
Say, love.

When I look into your eyes?
I see it.
When I hold your gentle hand?
I feel it.

So what makes me smile?
When I'm with you?
Say, love.
Say, love.
Say, love, it's so wonderful.

It soothes my day.
It warms my night.
It's been a beautiful blessing in my life.

What makes staying alive?
With you by my side.
Say, love.
Say, love.
Say, love.
It's what everyone seeks?

The lights are dim.
Teddy on the radio.
I don't have to describe this mood?
Because you already know.

Candles burning and you can see the glimmer of the smoke.
Smokey, within his song, stated baby come close.
I don't have to describe the mood.
Because you already know.

Marvin, tune lay down I'm here just to keep you satisfied.
Then you know how to make me feel so good?
Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes summarized it just right.

Then so did Jeffrey Osborne.
If pushed?
We really don't need no lights?

When it good?
It's good.
Even Big B aka Barry White came with the truth.
Singing Can't get enough of your love baby.

Then brother Al green solved it all.
Just saying love and happiness.
A true start for any sought of romance.

I remember.
I remember those that didn't think we would make it.
Now, they without the one they love.
There has moved on.

I remember those that threw up so many obstacles.
And now they simply alone.
Yes, I remember them.
But they shocked that we are still together.

I remember all the whispers.
When they thought we weren't listening?
A few now have misgiven.
Because our genuine love has kept us together.

I remember those that supported us.
Encourage us to overlook the naysayers.
Yes, I remember them.
Have a high regard for them.

I remember so many things.
But I remember more than anything the love you gave to me.

No sympathy here.
And why should there be?

If you black and not trying to adhere to laws and regulations.
I guess I refuse to listen to black incarceration higher than others.

No sympathy here.
Live by the gun and die by it too.
Jobs here, jobs there in various places.
You just have to change your environment situation.

****, anyone?
Why should I cry?
As always prison standing by.

**** anyone?
Why should I cry?
As stated prison always standing by.

You just a new recruit and decided to be a prison slave.

Rob, anyone?
Why should I cry?
Yoy freely joined your other brown skin brothers behind bars.

Don't be like those there crying about serving prison time is hard.
You freely joined the roster.
Most likely you find friends from the street.

The weak join gangs and find a challenge in that too.
Behind prison walls, there are guidelines too.
So why should I cry?

You didn't care about your mother.
Like some locked up, you might meet your father or your brother

If you never ask?
Then you will never know.
But here it goes.
Name three reasons why I love you so?

Your heart.
Your eyes.
Your personality.

If you never ask?
Then you will never know.
But here it goes.

Your mind.
Your honesty.
Your undying love for me.

If you ask a few you know?
They will state they never asked this question before.
But what some take for granted?
I just never do because there are some reasons to admit to why I do?

So name three reasons to ease my inquiry mind.
Just be truthful with no lines ever told.

Listen, to me guy.
And for this, I won't apologize.
I know how she kisses?--I taught her this.

I even know how she loves?-and it's wonderful

Many times, we do things wrong that make others move along.
And yes, in time, we have regrets.
And I have many I can't forget.

I just know this?
I know how she kisses?
Cause I thought her this.
And to some, I might be bragging.

Except her loving is satisfactory.
This I personally can guarantee.
And all she seeks is to be happy.

A good woman is hard to find.
And in this case, you got mine.

So behind pride, you hide.
Instead of being tough enough to apologize.
While watching love walk away.

What a big price to pay?
Letting someone you love and enjoy walk away.

So like a fool, you're trying to be cool.
Not following wise advice offered to you...
While watching love walk away.

Realize, in life and love mistakes will be made.
What a big price to pay?

Just because you see certain folks smiling.
When they are together?
Sometimes it's mainly for show.

So behind prise, you hide.
When all they asked?
That you apologize?

What a big price to pay?
Let your true love walk out the door.
