If I pull the thread, she spins around until there's nothing left
What goes up must go left, at least one time, so don't have no regrets
I'ma keep you close, just let me go whenever I need you most
And move away and change your name and hide inside
A small town based New Orleans
Her place smelled like steak and coffee
Bounced up like rays of water
Stayed up real late just talking
Brown skin, like Vince and Reggie
Your tattoos are a distant memory
But that was not your best decision
'Cause I liked you better with 'em, you-ou
If I pull the thread, she strings me 'long till I run out of gas
Know good men finish last
But I'm already here, man, that was fast
These city limits are so close together, but I still miss you
And if you grab my thread, begin to pull, I'll be an empty spool
Flower child on bare elements
With Caramello skin, just like Vince and Reggie
Even though you only ten percent
I was not your best decision, you'd be dumb to think me yours
So change your name and hide your face in a little corner
A small town based New Orleans
Her place smelled like steak and coffee
Bounced up like rays of water
Stayed up real late just talking
Brown skin, like Vince and Reggie
Your tattoos are a distant memory
But that was not your best decision
'Cause I liked you better with 'em, ooh, ooh
Give me substance not for love
Tell me if I'm doing too much
Baby, I can meet you there
Halfway, I can meet you this time
Yeah, and it's just a matter of love
Tell me if I'm doing too much
Baby, I can meet you there, oh, oh
Halfway, I can meet you this time, oh
