The Light of Your Dress - College

Look girl, I’m not gonna sing

Cause I just don’t do that

(LL Cool J)

I see you in between class and my mind skips a task

One glimpse of your eyes and my heart beats fast

A mysterious fantasy, lovely young queen

You’re pose so subtle, just like a magazine

Come and visit my sister, sit in the livin' room

Eat doughnuts and milk, listen to a pop tune

Used to be my babysitter, I want you for my woman

Without you girl, my life is bitter like a lemon

I want you

(LL Cool J)

I day dream love scenes, girl, when you pass by

I wonder what the future holds for you and I

I tell my friends fairy tales about me and you

My total devotion for you is true

See you on the bus, I trip as I get on

My body gets warm but my mind is torn

I admit you’re the queen of elegance

Maybe I’m just another puppy love nuisance

I will tell you straight up, not cologne on a letter

Opportunity knocks, I feel I just better

Disappear outta sight, rejection is my fright

To me you’re like a drug, boy, a hazy red light

I want you

(LL Cool J)

Too weak, I can’t speak, I’m messin' up in school

Just to hear your name girl, it makes me drool

As you sing falsetto on the college choir

My temperature level grows much higher

Spend the night over my house with my sister and friends

I wish you wouldn’t treat my like I’m your cousin

Your high school yearbook under my pillow

You walk by my window, I see your silhouette

Candle light is want I desire

But all I get to do is fix your flat tire

When you ring my bell purfume I smell

The aroma pierces through my heart’s shell

I tell you that my sister isn’t here today

You go away, but I wish you’d stay

Yes, girl, I’m twisted around your finger

When you leave your purfume lingers

I want you

(LL Cool J)

The clock tick-tocks as I lay in my bed

It’s visions of you circlin' through my head

I sip lemon ice tea, read a magazine

Wish we were involved in a steamy love scene

Saturday night, it’s time to party y’all

But an unseen force has my back on the wall

All eyes hit the door, red dress shines loud

The moment has come, my fantasy’s here now

You sip Gin and Tonic with the double hole straw

Finally I get the nerve to buy you one more

The bartender smirks, I whisper «He's a jerk»

I’m wearin' leather pants and a thirty dollar shirt

Offer you some Double-Mints, sit back, crack a smile

Try to act like I’m relaxed and not a child

You see I’m sixteen and you’re in college

Lovely sweet thing please give me the knowledge

I want you

(LL Cool J)

It’s easy to detect a line that’s preset

What you don’t know is you’re the woman I’ve wanted to get

For years and now I’m here sweet dear

Cool as the snow under a polar bear

I light your cigarette with the Raphael lighter

Your dress seems like its gettin' tighter and tighter

The ice cubes melt, the heat is felt

The card’s on the table and my deal is dealt

I want you

(LL Cool J)

I had to search through my soul, cowardice kept a hold on me

As the key was analysin' my role

As a man to instigate romance

Not break down and cry when you ask for a dance

Some fellas talk to her and she walks by

She can only say no its not do or die like Bed-Stuy

It’s Nature’s way

A sweet love story from LL Cool J

I want you
