Nothing to Lose

her phone number scribbled inside my brain,

good loving gone bad, it’s all the same,

got a sweet reputation, she had done it all,

pulled me in, then watched me fall,

never told the truth, never told a lie,

make a dead man rise, make a blind man cry,

a seeker of love, with nothing to lose.

made her plans, in the bedroom mirror,

with a wave of her hand, I became a sinner,

she took me in, then she took my seed,

told them all, I was a man of greed,

laughed in my face, then slapped me bad,

they say a man don’t hurt, when he's sad,

a seeker of love, with nothing to lose.

now she wants mercy, she now wants love,

legs in the air, reach for heaven above,

words like I love you, chill my broke soul,

she be the reason, the world gone cold,

what a beautiful mover, well what can i say?

shake my heart and mind  as I’m walking away,

I was seeker of love, with nothing to lose.
