Lyrics
Cheesy Love
Do you remember the night when we started this
It was December 2 6 yeah the day after Christmas
You were not what I thought
Super sweet with some sass that’s hot
Wound up by the pond drinking wine on the concrete
We were hugging and drinking like what are we thinking
For getting so close
Cuz we were never really into romance
Or that sweet affection
Well who woulda guessed that now
You got me wrapped up in the blankets
And brunching’ at noon
Coo coo just talking like a baby
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
Selfies and posting on the daily
It’s bugging my dudes ha
Don’t care cuz girl you’re so amazing
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
I remember how cold we were that night trying to flirt
Now a whole year’s gone by like a blur
Yeah we drove through the fog; ran through the storm
Now we got matching jammies to keep warm
It was like I’d known you ages
Only two dates in
Love comes if you don’t try to chase it
It gets tough and it grows and it changes
But true love comes easy from the start
And maybe from the start I shoulda known
Yeah I shoulda known
That you were the one and soon enough
You’d have me wrapped up in the blankets
And brunching’ at noon
Coo coo just talking like a baby
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
Selfies and posting on the daily
It’s bugging my dudes ha
Don’t care cuz girl you’re so amazing
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
That cheesy love
Oo that cheesy love love yeah
I got that I got that I got that cheesy love with you
You got me wrapped up in the blankets
And brunching’ at noon
Coo coo just talking wike a baby
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
Selfies and posting on the daily
It’s bugging my dudes ha
Don’t care cuz girl you’re so amazing
Ooo I got that cheesy love with you
That cheesy love
Oo that cheesy love love yeah
I got that I got that I got that cheesy love with you
That cheesy love with you
Trinidad
Let me tell you about a story I was told
Set upon an island where my Granddad roamed
Sweet sun in the sand
Slingshot in his hand
Curry rice and paradise
It was quite the life
And that’s only the start of what he told me
He said I come from land of blessed freedom
Where my grandfathers set their feet on
The short stretch of sand that I called my own
And that’s where I met such a wonderful soul
And they said they called her Nell
Cuz she was bright and shining
And I wanted no less
Oh yes he was singing
I met my love
In the sand
Beneath the sun
In Trinidad
I met my love
In the sand
Beneath the sun
In Trinidad
So they courted like a hurricane
And then were married in the Port of Spain
And their family started to grow
Four children; still six more to go
But as life has a way to give and to change
The island they knew one day wasn’t the same
So they took another road
And years later this is what he wrote
He said I came to land of blessed freedom
Seeking a new destiny
On the dry desert sand I found our new home
Not much to see but a future with hope
And I sighed and called to Nell
And she was sad and crying
Cuz she wanted no less
Oh yes they were singing
We left our home
In the sand
Goodbye for now
Trinidad
We left our home
In the sand
Goodbye for now
Trinidad
Time passed like skipping stones
Over the blue
But it froze like strange winter snows
The day they got the news
And he nursed her and died
For years at her side
As her memory degraded, their love never faded
Till finally it was over
On that day, this is what he told her
Go to land of blessed freedom
I’ll see you soon, just wait for me
Though this hospital room is far from your home
You’re going somewhere amazing, just know
I love you always Nell
And though my eyes are crying
I know I am so blessed
Oh yes, he was singing
Goodbye my love
Ain’t it sad?
You go to rest
In Trinidad
Goodbye my love
Ain’t it sad?
You go to rest
In Trinidad
Sixteen more years passed by
And they would all remember
Oh their loving wife and mother
As they gathered each November
But as that December wind did blow
I think King David, he did know
It was time to go on home
Christmas morning when he woke
He said I’ve come to land of blessed freedom
And I have found my destiny
At the gate by the shore I knelt on the ground
And smiled at my Lord as he pointed her out
And my eyes fell upon Nell
And she was bright and shining
I expected no less
Oh yes they were singing
I’m with my love
In the sand
Always above
In Trinidad
I’m with my love
In the sand
Always above
In Trinidad
I’m with my love
In the sand
Always above
In Trinidad
I’m with my love
In the sand
Always above
In Trinidad
Penny for Your Love
High heels on the hardwood knocking
I must’ve got loopy
Cuz when I came to she was covered in Gucci
Ruby red shoes, heads swoon
Bet ya think that shorty shook a lotta booty
Lookin' like a jewel thief
But she wasn't keen for a crib on the beach or a signature suite
Or even strapless little bags from Dooney
She pass em back to me, because she
Packed to the max with that inner beauty
And I'm usually not prone to go blow my doe
But she golden from her dome down to the bones in her toes
She told me not to bother, but I bought her some Prada
Cuz even angels wear it too
Yeah sing it
She aint askin' me for shiny little pearls
But she's so classy I'm just tryin' to give her the world
She got a diamond for a soul, what's a little bit o' silver and gold
I said go ahead and ring it up
Cuz I don't even need a penny for your love
And I promise I'm not tryin' to be a baller
Or poppin' up my collar
Her love, it can't be bought with all the dollars in my wallet
But I act like a sugar daddy when she lookin' at me
Tail on my booty waggin' wanna see my cutie happy
Cashier be askin', "paper or plastic?" baggin' it up
There's gold bands and tote bags in the back of my truck
I'm crackin' piggy banks, just make it rain, knowin' that this
Pretty bae don't give a dang if I'm loaded
Cuz she clean and proper
Just headin' what her mama taught her
Rockin' tweed Gabbana
But she pleased to walk upon the high road
And find them old shoes dirty
Cuz she got cute new boots for the journey
She aint askin' me for shiny little pearls
But she's so classy I'm just tryin' to give her the world
She got a diamond for a soul, what's a little bit o' silver and gold
I said go ahead and ring it up
Cuz I don't even need a penny for your love
I think you should let yourself rest a bit
Cuz honey you know this necklace
Isn't meant for you sentiment; it's a testament
To everything that I'm crazy for
You like heavenly dreams and arpeggio
And your soul is cash money
I'm rich in your love
I got gold in the back, honey; you aint diggin' for none
Just hummin "Real love's one in a million, it's not in them bills, hun"
I feel ya still, but
It's really been hard syncing you up to guitar beats
And tryin' to jot these lyrics down on a song sheet
But I keep tappin’, borderline rappin' over these
Fancy stanzas till you understand
If I can't take any of these Franklins to the grave
Tell me baby, why'm I bankin' them
I aint wastin' them so just take em and grin
Cuz I don't need no money
When I get free, I get free love from you honey
She aint askin' me for shiny little pearls
But she's so classy I'm just blowing those dimes and I’m losing my shirt
She got a diamond for a soul, what's a little bit o' silver and gold
I said go head and ring it up
Cuz honey all of these pennies
Are not for your love
Quarantined With You
I woke up looking at your tattoos, my love
I know that you’ve been in a bad mood all month
And I’m sad too, but honey
Let’s kick our shoes off and crackle some bacon
Cuz baby I still got a little cash in my bank
Turn the screen off now
Ain’t nothin’ but bad news
Let’s just be locked down
And open a canned brew
Yeah we kinda cooped up, but me and you
Can go flying even if we don’t go changing our latitude
Let’s relax and focus on the things we can do
Got people hoarding T.P
There’s a shortage of beans
Ain’t even worn my new jeans
Got no sports on TV
It’s been storming for weeks, but it’s cool
Cuz we gonna be fine
Let’s stay here inside
Kick back with a drink
And the birds and the bees
We got more than we need in this room
I’m glad to be quarantined here with you
Oh it’s amazing though
Seems like just yesterday
Saw those sweet sunny rays
Then woke up to the rain and a changed world
But I don’t wanna be afraid girl
So don’t you worry ‘bout the bills and the frills
Pop a seat and try to chill
Just appreciate the mandatory time we got to kill
Lock it up till summer
And open the grill
Doors are shut, so what?
You’re missing out on the thrill
Stop; relax
Let’s focus on the things we still got
Got people hoarding T.P
There’s a shortage of beans
Can’t afford anything
Got no sports on TV
It’s been storming for weeks, but it’s cool
Cuz we gonna be fine
Let’s stay here inside
Kick back with a drink
And the birds and the bees
We got more than we need in this room
Got people hoarding T.P
There’s a shortage of beans
Seeing horrible things
From reports on TV
It’s been storming for weeks, but it’s cool
Cuz soon sun gonna shine
We’ll be heading outside
Till then here’s a drink
And three chords and a beat
We got more than we need in this room
I’m glad to be quarantined here with you
Sun gonna be shining
When we see this through
