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

Sweet Little Symptoms
