Transparency

Allow me to be naked; stripped down if you will.
Unable to say what's on my mind I want you to witness me...complete transparency.
I'm a little out of practice,
A little out of shape
So please excuse the nudity.
Because this feeling that I shouldn't be feeling...
Is
This
Love
?

'Before I lock my love away, excuse me let me testify...You've accused me of a, you've accused me of a...'

You've accused me of a crime that I readily admit to.
But admonishment does not beget absolution.
My guilty plea is me telling you I would do it again.
Don't let me off on a technicality
Because my non-conviction would result in a Doubly Jeopardy.
I'll take Infidelity for $1000 Alex.
My wager everything that I don't have.
Just humbly hoping that by barterng my love
You can help make it valuable again
And not clear.
Transparently so.
Lit up by an overhead projector.
With words written on it.
Magnified.
Transposed for all to see.

'Before you lock my love away...'

Excuse me while I am transparent.

  1. When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be..

    [ Verse: ]
    I can’t help myself
    baby although I try
    You’re the flame that
    turned into a fire
    And baby there’s someone
    else in my life
    But what you got, it keeps on callin

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be

    [ Chorus: ]
    Trouble
    But I’m down to take a chance
    Trouble
    Cause I kinda got a man
    Trouble
    And I don’t know what to do
    Trouble
    Cause I’m really feeling you

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be


    [ Verse: ]
    You don’t know if he finds
    just what he’ll do
    So I’m telling you that
    there’s a lot to lose
    If he knew what we did,
    he’d act a fool
    So lets be smart about this baby

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be

    [ Chorus ]

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be

    [ Bridge: ]
    As we proceed
    (tell me if you’re really sure)
    I’m what you need
    (can you handle what’s in store)
    I know it’s wrong
    (but the way I feel
    for you is strong)
    If this keeps going on this
    could be dangerous

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be

    Trouble
    Trouble..

    When you’re alone with me
    I know that this could be Trouble
