Jazz

I wanted to be with you but my morals got in the way

And sometimes as a guy and as an opportunist, I regret those days

You wanted emotional and i wanted physical..........

I wanted to be seen with you in public, holding hands but not the actual relationship........I was so...........hypocritical

You used to sit on my lap on the stairs as we sat outside our houses, laughing and joking

But even though you wanted the emotion and i wanted the sex, it was clear we both wanted to be poking

But I couldn't do it

I wanted to control myself and steer away from my nasty thoughts instead of staying true to them

You said you had a boyfriend but he was in the navy

And I thought it was messed up that you talked to him but said you wanted to be with me, that there wasn't gravy

You had all the dudes in the neighborhood wanting to get with you, and you played along

But Jazz, unfortunately I just couldn't get with the tune of your song

I wanted to fall in love with your melodies and the smoothness of your voice

You was cool jazz but for me I just had to dig deep within myself and make a choice

Do I take advantage of the tunes that constantly persuade me to dance your way?

Or do I choose another genre of music and different instruments to play?

Do I wanna orchestrate and help create the music

Or do I wanna make up the song as i go, making treble clefs, open and closed or any way I choose to abuse it?

I just hope your happy, I hope you and the Navy guy is on the same chord

I hope he's the right conductor and hopefully his lost is something you can't afford.
