We negotiated terms of romance
As we slow danced
To this Kama Sutra groove
Daddy, I’m not sure what it is
But, there’s something about you
I mean like, I barely even know you
And I think
I’m falling in love with you
I guess it was a strobe light thing
See, we met at the club,
I smiled, he laughed, we fell in love
I guess it was a strobe light thing
As minutes turned into hours
Hours turned into days
Days turned into weeks
I began to see
This wolf that played sheep
Un-dressing me with his eyes
Pulling me closer while clinching my thighs
He conversed with me in dialogue from hunter to prey
He knew what to say, when to say it to get his way
Composing harmonic melodies laced with sweet lies
He played fiddler with the strings of my heart
As I re-wrote novels by Chinua Achebe
Things fall apart
And nothing was as it should be
I guess it was a strobe light thing
See, we met at the club,
I smiled, he laughed, we fell in love
I guess it was a strobe light thing
Dreams of eternity
Became nightmares that
I can never convince myself to be just that
In the aftermath of unrequited love
Will I ever trust again?
Will I ever love again?
Will I ever be more than one?
I guess it was a strobe light thing
