I Still Dont Know You

Chorus
So many bites have made my heart indigent
so many burns have made my taste lost
I see your displays, I cherish the efforts
time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to get to know you more.

1. A lion with promiscuous abilities
and nothing mind numbling about 
his irresistible showcase
to become an indignation in the lips of many.
My indifference is no reason for an outburst
cos hey! I still don’t really know you.

Chorus
So many bites have made my heart indigent
so many burns have made my taste lost
I see your displays, I cherish the efforts
time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to get to know you more.

2. You insist to be an unnecessary vinaigrette
when my life is already appetizing.
You willingly showed me your downfalls
and your success stories 
of expelling life’s expectorates,
all to add a rouge to my radiance.
No hurry boy! You’ve trawled,
so give me time to know you.

Chorus
So many bites have made my heart indigent
so many burns have made my taste lost
I see your displays, I cherish the efforts
time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to get to know you more.

3. I’m sober to the brewery of your affection
and to your charm, I am a free born.
Your energy packed efforts
embolden my mind to tame the heart.
A warm handshake
does not get an embrace in a lickety-split.
Don’t expect my compromise straight away
b’cos I still don’t know you.

Chorus
So many bites have made my heart indigent
so many burns have made my taste lost
I see your displays, I cherish the efforts
time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to get to know you more.

4. A sexy eye can be weaponized
each of its blink can shoot selfish bullets
an inviting heart may be hospitable
so I don’t want to ride
an expensive Jalopy once again.
You’re sweet and nice 
but I won’t fall for a lickspittle
thus, allow me get to know you more.

Chorus x 2 [Normal key] x 2 [higher key]
So many bites have made my heart indigent
so many burns have made my taste lost
I see your displays, I cherish the efforts
time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to get to know you more.
