Lyrics A Tale of Two (feat. Ben O'Neill and Michelle Thompson) - Eric Roberson

Two people, two people

Met her in Rolla, lived in the towers,
Same floor that I was, which did allow us,
To sit and talk for hours, in between dealings,
And all this unveiling, clearly there was feelings,
But she had a ceiling, it couldn't move further,
At least she prefered to, just have a friendship,
But we couldn't end it, too late,
Now we got way too involved in each other just to push it along,
Man the problem,
Deeply she had me,
Back in Miami, wasn't just her family,
She whispered so sadly, that her heart belonged to,
A real good brother, she didn't intend to,
Make me her lover,
But this is said after, well let's say I had her,
Well let's say I'd rather be the one that mattered,
OK, that sounds dramatic, maybe I should just chill,
And let's let this little story here build,
Months invaded, and I hate to say it,
I'm more like a replacement, now I have to face it,
The kiss that I gave her, I feel like I wasted,
When I'm invited, I still wanna taste it,
So I still visit, and try to imagine,
This time that we havin', was more like back when,
We were just chattin',
Next thing that happened is her phone start to ring,
And now I'm laying there not saying a thing, man,

Two people

So I start thinking, more and more lately,
Before I go crazy, another young lady,
Maybe should be added,
Yeah, that sound bad it,
Wasn't my intention, but see, it made sense then,
Yo, i was thinkin',
Too busy hurtin',
Too busy workin',
To hold her attention,
Just like I mentioned,
New chick comes in and I tell her the deal,
Like you can love me, but you can never feel, you know,
She got two,
I got two,
I thought this through like we would be cool,
But boy, was I wrong, it didn't take long,
For this little feeling here to grow real strong,
Chick found out Miami dude was doing her wrong,
Though she rocked the same song,
Act like she don't sing along,
Now he gone,
Now she under me like the day is the sun,
Now she tryna tell me that I'm the one,
Now she wants to make this official,
But I got an issue,
She gonna need tissue,
When this talk is over, I sat and I told her,
That I no longer, need her and want her,
At least in that fashion,
See, that can happen,
When all the passion is exchanged for smashin',
And the simple fact is,
She can't get mad 'cause she taught me the game,
So of course, I would be doin' the same, yeah,

Two people

This situation, more like role playin',
Strangers in the day and, lovers in the A.M.,
So all that I'm sayin', she asked for a favor,
When her man came up, act like her neighbor,
The whole time waitin', the whole time hatin',
Visions that I'm havin', of the fun they havin',
Man, you can imagine,
How it feels now just to change up the scene,
Flip the script, if you know what I mean,
Now she don't wanna, but I want to,
I thought this through, but oh, what a fool,
These girls are too smart, it's 'bout to get dark,
Soon they meet each other and it doesn't take long,
I should've thought of this come up from start,
Now they playin' me hard, like they playin' their part,
Now I'm caught,
Bad news hit me, comin' one at a time,
Both are pregnant,
And they sayin' it's mine,

You really need to chill on
'Cause you're only gonna hurt like,
Tryin' to share your love with
'Cause love is only meant for,
Be careful who you be with,
Yeah,

Now yes there's a lesson here to be learned,
Karma is patient, it waits for its turn,
You may not see the crime that you're doin',
But believe at some point you'll pay,
This story's a warning for those acting young,
Playin' with emotions sometimes may be fun,
Be careful with the games you're playin',
You may just be the one who's played,
