How Many Licks Does It Take

I don't even think he is real anymore

he only calls when i promise i'll never talk to him again

he calls and calls and calls but when i answer he has nothing to say

when i don't have the time, he does

when i do, he don't

this is crazy

when i'm not thinking about him he doesn't call

when he crosses my mind and i tell myself he's no good for me ... he calls

i am starting to think he only exists to prove to me that i'm full of shyt

that's how i met him you know

"i'm done with niggas!"

and he popped up

i was out minding my own business

not interested in him even though he is clearly interested in me

and normally that's a turn on

but not this time

i direct my attention to someone more my style

turns out he's lots of ladies style

no worries ... on to the next one

and ... the next one

okay, Red, lets see what you have to offer

and that was that

and now it's this ... testy

testing to hear if my thoughts are true

testing to feel if my reason and passion have balance

testing to smell if i am ready for my destiny

testing to taste if i have learned my lessons

testing to see if i can see

i think this each time it goes down like this

is he even real anymore

or just a way to show me i ain't who i say i am
