lyrics

I wish it was love…again.

She want to apologize

Cause she say I never compromise

I’m telling her to stop the lies

But I know she tell the truth…

And now I’m hearing opera cries

I swear I saw her soul pouring out her eyes

Love ain’t something you itemize

And there I saw the proof…

What type of man am I becoming?

Cold hearted, closed off

Don’t even call unless you planning on taking yo clothes off

A nice guy, a gentleman

yea thats what they used to say

till I finished last too many times and I was too betrayed

thought I wish I was in love

deep in love

like we all do

All I see is negatives

my life is like a dark room but,

who took these images?

All I have is these photographs 

of past loves

a pile of feelings next to a matchbook 

the one I fired

but still secretly desire

well, maybe not so secretly

but lately I’ve acquired

the realization that she’s been playing me

what a liar

Got damnmit, I been slippin, falling

thought I was flier, see

we were such a good movie

where’s the sequel?

Ya turned into a bird hunter

shooting down my ego

I lay my future plans all in God’s hands

but man this shit hurting God, damn

Wish it was love

Wish it was love

I’m looking for love

I wish it was love

Cause I been all around the globe

touring, doing shows

looking for some ladies

but all I find is hoes

Love

Where is the love?

And all this time, I could’ve sworn I was a thug

But you got me all emotional

But its time to move along

Don’t matter if I’m over you

This is the story of a man

turning canine

Single life is everything and nothing 

at the same time

Been on the road, doing shows

hitting hoes, in 20º below

outside in the cold

real wild shit

yeah she was still wet

that should let you ladies know

I definitely can drill that

was kinda ill…

A nice little thrill

But that don’t fill the void

when you’re used to something real

I need a lot more

need someone I can feel

mentally, spiritually

playing in the field

that I know I don’t belong in

It’s like having the freshest car

with the wrong rims

A couple nice ingredients

but the wrong blend

Tonight I’ll probably find a groupie in the club

But honestly, I’d really rather find love

I wish it was love, again

They told if you love something let it go

Whoever said that was dumb as hell

Whoever said that was dumb as hell

They told me if you love something let it go

Whoever said that was dumb as hell

Cause if you love something

Let it show

I wish it was love

I wish it was love

I’m looking for love

I wish it was love

Cause I been all around the globe

Touring, doing shows

looking for some ladies

but all I find is hoes

Love

I’m looking for love

Cause I been all around the globe

Touring, doing shows

looking for some ladies

but all I find is hoes

Love

Where is the love?

I wish it was love…again.

I wish it was love

Where is the prototype?
