Lyrics
Faces of Eve
First she was somebody?s daughter
Somebody?s daddy wasn?t there so somebody else?s daddy taught her
Then she grew to be Ms. Independent
And these new skills she?s learning now, are gonna one day be infinite
And I for one appreciate it
Cause the better we are the better our chances to make it
And that?s really what it?s all about
Me lovin you you lovin me, a definite route
Which eventually leads to years of memories to speak of, I love it when our feet rub, nobody loves how we love
It?s the natural path that we gotta take
And because it takes too much energy to lie and be fake
Bein somebody else, wanting somebody different
Blindly seeking wealth, a dangerous experiment
Can leave a test-tube world, to blow up in our face
If we show up at the race, then we can set the pace
Chorus (2x?s)
How many faces of Eve can one man see before he gets brought to his knees?
And tell me how many scenario?s lead to burials when Adam is forced to hunt for his needs?
Even though you?re a definite goddess, never forget, the thorn is on the most beautiful flowers- the rose
But believe me I ain?t tryin to oppose but sometimes there?s just too many things that you suppose- like
You suppose that I can read your mind, after I told you I couldn?t for the millionth time
So let?s not travel the roads that lead to dead ends
I?m just so happy that you?re not influenced by trends
But sometimes you can be Delilah, sassy tongue like fire
And that?s the point where I lose all of my desire
You become so negative I must repel, and that?s the only way to free you from this type of hell
Cause if I follow you then I drown too and that makes two
Adam left God for Eve which makes him a fool
And that I don?t wanna do, so baby be cool
Cause for a teacher to teach there has to be a school
So tell me
(chorus)
3rd verse
Speakin of teachin you?re a natural
There is no way a man could travel where you had to go fast or slow
Baby you pass us so, cause only out of your womb does the life of the soul flow
Nobody else can claim that power, your body cleans it self every 670 hours
You are the Queen Mother, sister to your brother
You?re the energy that centers me when you?re bein my lover
You are truly God?s greatest weapon
You won?t hesitate to say that I?m wrong and keep steppin
And leave me stewin in my own juice, until I call a truce
Cause sometimes you got to figure what?s the use?
But every scene fits into a story
With or without glory
Sometimes it?s pleasant, sometimes gory
But whatever the case you keep my head above water
Then you blessed me with a son and a daughter, now that?s my baby girl
(chorus)
