The Newness

On behalf of Blue-Eyed Soul
I'd like to welcome y'all once again
This your boy, Herro
Sit back and enjoy yourself

Well, I guess I'm just caught up in the newness (In the newness, yeah)
But truth be told, I think she is the one (No)
Even though I know (I know) it's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness

Don't know what tomorrow holds (No)
But I hope she's holdin' on from this point on, yeah
Ever since she signed on board, we've been goin' hard (So hard)
'Til like 8:45 (AM)
Now I'm at my 9 to 5 (Half sleep)
But never feelin' so alive, yeah, yeah
I guess you can blame my brand new friend
Since she entered in
I've been holdin' her more than my pen
And you know that's a lot
First time I ever got writer's block
Okay, maybe not
'Cause when we part, the pen just won't stop, no

Well, I guess I'm just caught up in the
Newness (Caught up in the newness again)
But truth be told, I think she is
The one (I think she's the one, yeah)
Even though I know (I know) it's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness

We act like we're still 19 (Ooh)
And every time we kiss, it's like a movie scene, yeah
Oh, from that Love Jones flick, you played Nia Long (That's you)
I played Larenz Tate (That's me)
You come downstairs with them legs (Good Lord)
I'm makin' cheese omelets, girl
Okay, I digress, I'm just havin' fun
Serious love is so overdone, yeah
Let's pick it up (Yeah)
It's as fresh like the lotion that she just rubbed on (Yeah)
I can smell it on my pillow when she's gone (Yeah)
Be layin' there like, "Man, come on"
When you comin' back, girl?

Well, I guess I'm just caught up in the
Newness (Caught up in the newness, yeah)
But truth be told, I think she is the one
Even though I know (I know) it's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness
(Come on, I know) It's just the newness

Do you remember the first time you heard a hip-hop song? (Yeah)
Or the first time you spent all night talkin' on the phone? (Yeah)
'Member how that felt? (Uh-huh)
When y'all kissed for the first time? (Uh-huh)
When you wrote your first rhyme? (Come on)
'Member how that feel?
Well, it's called the newness, but you already knew this
Don't hear me rhyme, but I just had to loop this
Man, it's the lovin', she's sittin' at the oven
Makin' me some waffles, she's tryna get the Tidal
More than likely, she'll probably be wifey
If she gotta have it, then hell, I'm Spike Lee
And I'm there nightly, I'm a midnight marauder
Matter of fact, got a text, just said to call her
If I had the money, man, I would just spoil her
I'd give her kisses and treat her like the missus, man
Take her out on the night town, do the runnin' man
Kid 'n Play, do the bop, 'til all the music stop
Go off to IHOP, talk in the parkin' lot
Oh, here come the cops, tellin' us to scram
Damn, I just grab her hand
Let's go, here we go, D.M.C. and this little fan
And the band's in the van, we on the road again
And, aw man, I was 'bout to finish up the story
Chick got me more whipped than Denzel in Glory
Brett called me up like, "Yo, your girl is on Maury"
Huh? Guess it's poor me
Guess it's poor me
Guess it's poor me
'Til the newness comes
