lyrics

Conditional love probe
Computer part-
Verse 1
Love, a word that soothes…yet it’s meaning is often delivered untrue…
cheapened…weakened…
commonly thrown around and misused…
Often spewed out the mouths of an intimate 2
[I love baby] I love you…
Caught in the moment but how momentous is the view…
mixed emotions could leave one confused…
my significant other, my man, my woman, my lover, my that, my this..
could Imply ownership, the fruit of selfishness,
Possessiveness takes toll on relationships..
Handcuffed by a caress, jailed by a kiss….
we are a a universal collective of free souls!!!
Question, How can someone be your better half when before you meet you were already whole…
sold as compliments when undeveloped thoughts are involved,
Premature lures to minds that have yet to evolve,
putting high regards on hallmark card sympathy..
No understanding between the mingling of invisible energies..
If love is not in your cores center then a bond can’t be entered…
Which means trust can’t be rendered..
thus the two can’t equally surrender…
“balance”

[Computer part ]
Verse 2
beyond the affection, attention and sweet words mentioned,
I don’t think I’ve ever seen love without a condition,
Time reviles what a person doesn’t always openly show,
Especially how friend and foe can be so interchangeable, Rearrangeable…
It’s easier for a drunk man to say “I got love foe you”,
Then it is for a sober man to attempt to even show you,
Brother from another, I’ve heard that claim..
From the same two that;ll pull out on each other, cock back and aim..
So is it all in vain that we strive to abide
By the power that love provides…that resides
In every smile…from every laugh…in every tear from every cry,
Love…we all want it, we all need it..
We don’t all give it, but we all seek it..
Sometimes we forsake it, sometimes we embrace it…
The act of laying with each other is referred to as making it,
Many write movies, songs and poems about it,
Scared of being hurt by it… some ignore and doubt it,
A few feel they don’t deserve it, and can’t preserve it when they find it,
Others cry all night for it and will even kill
Behind it
[computer voice]
