Light Brown

When you’ve got a heavy heart,

but you’re light on your feet.

You could have anyone you want,

but she could not carry.

What makes the beat

and keeps the peace, or so they say,

Girl please don’t hide it,

and don’t recite it from memory.

*Pick me up I’ve been down.

Call me when you’re around.

You’ve been lost, but you’ll be found.

To me you’ll always be, light brown.

So when I see you tonight,

how will you be?

At coloring the lines, breaking all the ties.

Will you color me?

In shades of blue

and yellows too, but it’s still me.

Girl please don’t hide it,

and don’t recite it from memory.

Pick me up I’ve been down.

Call me when you’re around.

You’ve been lost, but you’ll be found.

To me I hope you’ll always be around.
