Greater than Love

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

The way my skin feels when it's being caressed

A warm gentle hand all over my body when I feel stressed

Greater than love this love will never end

It feels so soft and silky to the touch

I know I get carried away talking about my skin until it can seem to be a little bit much

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

Some say I love my skin a little too much

You can certainly look but please don't touch

Greater than love this love will never end

Laying on the beach looking like some milk and honey

I'm hoping my skin don't get burned out here because it's really sunny

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

My Ma says my skin color has been passed down from generation to generation

I even hate the thought of getting all sweaty and dirty so I sit out on the sidelines until the Coach yells he needs my participation

Greater than love this love will never end

Just think about it brown virgin skin that has not been bleached or altered

I love my skin so no I don't need plastic surgery and later look like I've been damn near slaughtered

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

I know you love it too see how you stop and stare

If I was you I would stare too especially if you looked this rare

Greater than love this love will never end

You say I look conceited and I act stuck up

You know what, you're probably right, high in the air I do love to keep my head up

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

I love to dress up I've got clothes with shoes to match in the latest trends

I think I look too good so who needs friends

Greater than love this love will never end

I don't have time to waste I grow older every day

So I have to value this skin I'm in each and every day

Greater than love this love will never end I'm in love with my brown skin

My face should be on the front cover of every news paper and magazine that exist

With the headlines stating "To All Enemies" yeah that'll get'em real pissed

Greater than love this love will never end

I can be naughty at times and a little mean

But how can you be jealous of me when I'm not really out and about much so I'm rarely being seen

Like I've told you before this love will never end because there's nothing greater than love!
