When you look back at segregation?
You find a mind of a fool that based decisions upon race?
Within various section of a racist society, you question things.

When anyone of color visit a place for food?
They mostly were denied services showing the minds of a fool.

Who didn't see truth?
Electricity bills require money.
Rental spaces required money
Water bills require money, and at the end of the day it has nothing to do with color of a person skin.

Because the color that control things simply was green.

Not sad.
Not mad.
Really glad this came to an end.

Not upset.
Just can't be.
For a while you been bugging me.

So, sign the papers.
Whew, a big relieve because for months you been killing me spiritually.

So, I embrace your hands signing on that line.
Just to hear many say, it's about time.

Maybe, my kisses sweet.
Maybe, my kisses warm.
But you should expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

Maybe, my hugs are tight.
Maybe, my hugs just right.
Maybe, you feel them more at certain time of nights.
But you are dealing with a man of love.

Maybe I am more expressive than anyone you ever known.
I offer no apologies.
Maybe I bring more to romance than you ever experienced.
But you should expect this from a man of love.

There will be reasons your smile.
There will be reason to fantasize.
But expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

I been chasing--chasing you.
Travel many roads to get closer.
And just when I think I am near.
You have disappeared.

I been running--chasing you.
And if you are honest you would admit to this truth.
And just when within inches you have vanished again.

Just know---just know.
I can't stop now trying to bring you back.
Cause more than anyone you had my back.

Yes, I could count on you.
When up, when down.
When I needed a true friend around.

And I can't stop now--can't stop.
Trying to bring you back into my life.

Can't stop
Can't stop
Can't stop now.
Cause I want you around.

When up.
When down.

Give me my truck.
Give me my farm.
Give me my woman with those warming arms.
And I'll be happy.

Give me my music.
Let it sink down in my soul.
But it can only be the legends of old.
None of this rock and roll pretense.
And I be happy.

I just want to be free to be me.
And you will see a country boy with charm.
Not out to cause anybody any harm.
And I be happy.

Love is surrounding me, even confusing me.
But it has made me so very happy.

Love is controlling me, yes even captured me.
And it is holding me hostage.

I have heard so much about it.
But never once thought it could affect me.
But it has made me so very happy.

Yes, happy in love.
Yes, happy in love.
From that first moment of affection.

When storms come from all directions?
And folks wicked opinions too.
Say, I am loved, and they are more important than you.

The embrace me with opinions.
They understand my perspective
But more than anything they are my strongest protector.

And to this them I give all my affection.
Because I am loved.

They check me, when I am wrong.
They accept me when I am right.
Our bond is tight.

So, when negativity hits your door.
Say, I am loved.
So much loved.
