lyrics

VERSE 1
Feels like this life keeps closing in on us
It happens so much it makes it hard to adjust
See, I never ever felt this way
No. I can’t wait
Now. I can’t wait
To sleep ‘cause in my dreams
Is where we’d live each day
If I had my way
Everything’d be okay
But I know now that by and by
We’d go astray, so
I can’t stay
Remember it was...


CHORUS
(Just you & me) That’s all I ever wanted
(Just you & me) I thought it’d never be
(Just you & me) Until it finally was
(Just you & me) Now it just ain’t enough


VERSE 2
We used to fuck all night long
Wake up [and] Cherish the Day like a Sade song
Hopeful and so soulful
You got a Mob of Goodies and pussy was like Soul Food
To this old fool. I call it ‘comforting’
My pleasure was to find your buried treasure - make you cum for me
Never selfish with your love, you’d save some for me
[You] knew something would hurt my pride, you would play dumb for me
But when you’d run for me, I’d run away
Treated commitment like it meant somebody took my fun away
We’d fight like Mr. & Mrs. Smith - guns a blaze
But without you at night, it’s like somebody took the sun away
They warn you ‘bout the premature “I Do”
Somehow we disease’d like diabetes - Type Two
Back then, I was psyched too
But what I know now, I wish that I knew.
When it was just…


CHORUS 2x
(Just you & me) That’s all I ever wanted
(Just you & me) I thought it’d never be
(Just you & me) Until it finally was
(Just you & me) Now it just ain’t enough


BRIDGE 2x
Just you and me now
Just you and me now
Just you...
Just me...


VERSE 3
I wrote a song, summer ‘95
Hopin’ somewhere it’d be heard, bringin’ someone to my side
Who would ride wit me and confide in me
Plus abide with my foolishness, hooliganishness and my wide
Range of mood swings. Need a mood ring just to know
Which ones comin’ next. If I could I would show
You. But it wouldn’t change the outcome
The “What if I’d done’s” or the “How come’s”
Naw. Never been much of a romantic
No sweet nothin’. No Voyage to Atlantis
All and all, glad you succame to my advances
But see we had our chance when
it was…


CHORUS 2x
(Just you & me) That’s all I ever wanted
(Just you & me) I thought it’d never be
(Just you & me) Until it finally was
(Just you & me) Now it just ain’t enough


OUTRO
Remember it was just…
That’s all I ever wanted
I thought it’d never be
Until it finally was
Naw, it ain’t enough, darlin’

(4x)
That’s all I ever wanted
I thought it’d never be
Until it finally was
Now it just ain’t enough
