Standing outside the window

I walk down the block of homes

and sometimes I look in their window

Looking at beauty and all the great things

Within

It's such a great view from here

I can see everything a whole lot clearer

The details seems to stand out and jump out at me

This has been a special block I've been on

I come here when the sun peaks at dawn

This street is really not that long

On this block I love, but I really don't belong



Why do I keep going up and down these homes ?

I can't really explain

The people inside don't really see me beyond

Their window's pane

What's going inside, I really would like to change

Seem like things are staying the same

It's so cozy and warm in there

I wish I could go in

But I can't because it seems like a place I've been

Every one of these homes has it's flaws

At the same time from this view

It seems like the lovely things shine bright

From here intensified is my sight

Out here stays right at the edge of dark

So I can see all the marvelous light



Lately I've been peeking at in this one home

I see a man and a woman so content

I see them so comfortable with each other

I notice she loves attention, kisses and affection

I see she just like the simple things

I also notice something that I haven't seen in the other

Houses that I haven't seen in the other homes

She is generous with her man, gives him money when doesn't have any

Wow it definately seem from the heart, very unique

I haven't seen that yet

She said what's hers is his

I can see from her heart she gives



Different rooms I see different things

Inside to this guy I wish I could bring

Some wisdom

Why isn't he seeing the things that I see?

I would hold her tighter if that was me

Seems like the dude is a little distant

The closer she gets to him, I see more resistance

I wish I could go in their and take his place

Man touch your woman and stop staring into space!



He can't hear me so it's just a waste

I need stop stalking and leave this place

Before I do leave

Girlfriend if you can hear me

I know you tried your best

That brother right there is going through a test

That's why it's seems like you give more and receive less



I've been watching and he adores and thinks the world of you

I think he just doesn't realize it

Because it seems like he has a lot on his mind

Maybe he don't want to drag you down into his binds



Either way it's my time, have to proceed to a new block

It's some other house that I look in but can no longer stop

When I arrive at my own home I'll remember all that I've seen

My house will be a reality and not a dream

I hope that brother your having a hard time getting close to

Will be redeemed

I wish I could tell you that you're a good strong woman

He might not see it, but your positives from outside

Most definately gleam

In the distance I see sunbeams, I have to go home

These abodes are so lovely to look at

But they are not my own

The goods things inside stand out

Why can't the residents inside see that?

I guess they will...

Because on other blocks I see others

looking in the window

At their relationship.



To that loving girlfriend in my favorite house

I gave you many compliments with no sound

but I see your eyes have found

because Tiffany you're reading this right now.
