Tamia - Poetry Lyrics

He said, it's like the grass that grows
Between the cracks of ghetto streets
Relentless, in spite of the neverlasting
I said, "baby, damn, you got lyrics"
(Make it like) make it like poetry, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, mm

The thugged-out pimped-down images, release them
Save those roles for the young souls
Who believe them
I want the undefinable, indescribable and more
But yet so clear when you walk through that door
I said, I want it hard, mystical, tender and correct
Without expectations but all of them met
Take me around the world, but please come direct
And speak to me, speak to my heart

Make it like poetry
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see, make it alright, make it like

Kisses are raindrops that wash away the pain
Each stroke's a journey on a long train to a
New destination, a new meditation in love
Realization of possibilities, he says to me
I've given hard, mystical, tender and correct
Without expectations, yet all of them met
Take me around the world, but please come direct
And speak to me, speak to my heart

Make it like poetry
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see, make it alright, make it like

Oh, make it like
To be or not to be won't be any question
Make it like
The sling of arrows of outrageous love are gone
Make it like
A dream I can touch, a dream I can feel
Make it like
Only you, only you can take me there
Make it like
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see, make it alright

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry (kisses are raindrops)
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night (they wash away the pain)
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry (each stroke's a journey)
Everything wrong you see, make it alright (oh, one more time)

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see, make it alright

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry (baby, you know the thugged-down, pimped-out)
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night (I don't need 'em, all I need is you)
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see, make it alright, make it like

Yeah, yeah, yeah, poetry
