You said, I promise the world and you still waiting.
And now made-up your mind to move on.
And there is nothing I can do to make you stay.

But don't you see I'm trying (trying).
I never stated this success would be an overnight thing.
Because most things never are in life.

And unlike others I won't beg you to stay.
But if success should come and you gone.
Just remember this (I was trying)

To keep your smiling.
I was trying to make you happy.

With limited sleep.
I was trying.

But you feel my love isn't worth a single thing.
But it worth more than any gold on earth.

After the kids, comes happiness.
After they adults, comes happiness.
After a divorce, comes happiness.
Whew, then you can say my life is blessed.

All the friction has faded away.
And now you can talk about who is the blame.
Cause usually, we toss blame both ways.
Some has too much mouth.

In truth, doesn't know when to shut up.
You just know after a divorce things seems great.
Less stressful, less worries.

Maybe, one or two might regret it.
Using faith based religious to debate it.
But after a divorce comes relieve.

Where you might find happiness from the next love you meet?

Right before your eyes, it exists.
But for some reason you still miss it.
Right within your mind you know.
That love does keep a score.

Still, you are reaching for something better.
Something that won't last forever.
Still, you're craving for a lover.
When you already have one nearby.

So, when the heartaches come accept the blame.
And no reason to be a shame.
Cause you was reaching for something better.
Something that won't last forever.

Yes, you're reaching.
Just out there reaching for something better

We all have regrets; we might not tell you this.
Sometimes, it's simply out of respect for creating hurts feelings
Could be that spouse?
Could be that job?
Or loss of it.

We all have regrets.
Could be not apologizing in time?
Or being rule at the wrong time.
Or not accepting the truth we asked for from someone.

Then again, some regrets we don't regret.

Indians assigned reservation.
Blacks, assigned to plantations.
Asian Americans, assigned to Concentration camps.

And who placed you there?
Yes, we know.
Why, we know?
Because they are crying foul.

History has never been good to them.
And that's mainly because of them.

What's that infamous phase known on Dragnet?
The names were changed to protect the innocence.

Presently, we see the Latinos the focus of their hatred.
This is factual.
How we know?
Because like the others they are crying foul.

But now with regrets because they are figuring out they needed.
Because their livelihood falling by the waste side.

Isn't LIFE grand.

Say David.
Say Eddie.
Say Paul.

Say Melvin.
Say Otis.
Then say the Temptations.
The Classic Five became legends within four years.

Wasn't afraid to beg or wish for rain or tell their girl you're my everything.
Why not?
You don't look back when you are blessed.

Many men have stated with facts that my girl is the best.
And often told friends to get ready for various opinions.

Say Dennis.
Say Damon and Richard too.
True super stars that left good memories.
Even, when singing about Papa.

Even say Elbridge, he was a part of the original unit.
And you have the greatest male soul group to ride the airwaves.
Sure, there been plenty more.

But they be there for another poem.

My love exists, somewhere.
Always will, always have in life.
Just have to find the right one to add to my life.

She is beautiful, within and without.
And this truth without a doubt.
Some would call her a knockout.

Others a beautiful brickhouse.
My love exists, for me to love, for me to see.
Know this?
She truly makes me happy.

Yes, my love exists, and she is right here.
