Ari Lennox – Precious Flower lyrics

[verse 1]
Their shadows dance in the moonlight, many moments to enjoy
Their love's a stage, hes a spotlight, She's wrapped all in his almond joy
But she awakes like a mourning widow, but his scent remains
A letter lays underneath the pillow, he's off to work another day

[Chorus]
Tell me why, mhm, she's livin' a lie, mhm
She says "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!"
Said, "I can't sleep until you find your way back home!
And I know what we're doing is wrong
But I count the hours until your back in my arms!"

[Verse 2]
Oh, The bodies cradled in the night sky,another day that she degrades
Because she knows that you're mine, she always gotta have her way
And I can't stand to be alone, so I guess I'll settle
Makin' up these lies, drowning in your flower petals

[Chorus]
Tell me why, mhm, I'm livin' a lie, mhm
I said. "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!"
I can't sleep until you find your way back home!
And I know that you're doin' wrong
But I count the hours until your back in my arms!"

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah yeah
You lie, you lie, you lie (x5)

OH OH
Precious Flower don't be gone too long (don't be gone now! don't be gone now!)
Said I can't sleep until you find your way back home
Oh, and I what we're doin' is wrong, But I count the hours until your back in my arms, yea


I can't take it, said tell me who the hell is she
I thought we made it, said now I see its just a dream
Kiss me with lies and otherwise of where you've been
But I refuse to share you with another lover, Precious Flower!, yeah! yeah!
Oh yeah! Ohhh
Said Precious Flower, yeah! yeah!
